DEMOCRAT PARTY

ARIZONA DEMOCRAT THE LATEST (D) TO BE CONVICTED AND SENTENCED TO PRISON FOR CHILD MOLESTATION. Democrats, can you please leave children alone?

LATEST CORPORATE MEDIA HOAX – PRETENDING TRUMP INTIMIDATED A WITNESS – GETS EXPOSED AS A LIE IN RECORD TIME. Over and over again these lies get shot down, but the slobbering psychopaths who hate Trump fall for them every single time. They are the most ignorant, uninformed and emotionally unstable people I’ve ever encountered. If Trump was accused of leading an invasion from Mars, those imbeciles would believe it.

len kabasinskiLen Kabasinski, the indie filmmaker behind such productions as Curse of the Wolf, Pact of Vengeance, Ninja: Prophecy of Death and many more, was kind enough to drop by Balladeer’s Blog and add his thoughts about the late Leo Fong.

Fong worked with Kabasinski on a few films and Len’s fond remarks about his late fellow action star reinforce what a gem Leo Fong was and what a gracious man Len Kabasinski is. Click HERE.

WOMEN’S COLLEGE FOOTBALL RESULTS: BALLADEER’S BLOG

Reaction to last Sunday’s post about Women’s Flag Football was strong enough to keep it going for now.

NJCAA

bryant-and-stratton-college-bobcats logoINSTANT CLASSIC – In this game the BRYANT & STRATTON COLLEGE (Wisconsin) BOBCATS did battle with the FORT SCOTT COLLEGE GREYHOUNDS.

           The crowd in attendance got a real treat with a game that was much tighter than many others in this emerging intercollegiate sport. The two teams went score for score for a time until the Bobcats came out on top by a final score of Bryant & Stratton College 18  Greyhounds 12.

florida gateway college timberwolvesLIKE I WAS SAYING ABOVE … – At the other end of the spectrum came this very lopsided affair between the defending champions – the FLORIDA GATEWAY COLLEGE TIMBERWOLVES – and the PASCO-HERNANDEZ STATE BOBCATS. 

           Pasco-Hernandez State was more like the Timberwolves’ prey than their opponents in this gridiron matchup. Florida Gateway College dominated the Bobcats on both sides of the ball on their way to a FIFTY-ONE to NOTHING blowout win. Continue reading

JULY 2021: A LOOK BACK

FOR PART ONE (2016) OF THIS RETROSPECTIVE FROM INDEPENDENT VOTER SITE BALLADEER’S BLOG CLICK HERE.

biden plutocratJOE BIDEN: DISASTER UPON DISASTER

DEMOCRATS VS THE REST OF US: JULY 22nd.

FORMER TRUMP HATER DISCOVERS THE TRUTH AND BEGINS SINGING HIS PRAISES.

BIDEN, CUBA AND CHINA’S REGIMES CONTINUE SUPPRESSING DISSENT.

aaaaaa

NO DEMOCRAT WOULD ALLOW THIS SIGN IN A CLASSROOM OR OFFICE.

DEMOCRAT UGLINESS IN ITS MANY FORMS.

Some excerpts: “AT PRESENT, DEMOCRATS PUSH DIVISIVENESS EVERYWHERE – Democrats, despite the fact that their political party was behind so many atrocities in America’s past, presume to lecture the rest of us. Hell, the senile and corrupt Joe Biden eulogized an actual Ku Klux Klan official, fellow Democrat Senator Robert Byrd. Biden’s 1994 legislation has long been called out for its draconian punishments which fell mostly on African-Americans.

“Joe Biden and his son Hunter have been caught repeatedly in racist comments and using racial slurs, yet the pathetic Biden tries lecturing THE REST OF US about “racism” and “White Supremacy.” You know … the kind of White Supremacy pushed by the Ku Klux Klan, founded by Democrats and which Biden’s eulogized buddy Robert Byrd held a leadership position in.

“It is DEMOCRATS who keep pushing “transition” drugs on increasingly young children, yet too many people shy away from pointing this out.

It is DEMOCRATS who insist just about everything makes them feel “unsafe”. Continue reading

SUPERMAN: YEAR ONE (1938-1939)

This weekend’s light-hearted and escapist superhero post here at Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at the first twelve adventures of Superman. Previously I looked at Batman stories from 1939-1940 HERE, but these early Superman tales are often hilariously weird.

action 1ACTION COMICS Vol 1 #1 (June 1938)

NOTE: Though many regard this as the start of the Golden Age for superhero comics I personally go with November 1936 when the Clock debuted. Click HERE.

Title: Superman, Champion of the Oppressed

Villains: Assorted criminals 

Synopsis: Just before a far-off planet (not yet called Krypton) is destroyed by “old age” (the story actually says that) an unnamed scientist and his wife send their infant son in a small spaceship to planet Earth. The space vessel lands in an unnamed state, where a passing motorist (no names for Ma and Pa Kent for a while) takes the baby to an orphanage.

As he grows, the alien realizes that he has super-strength, super-speed and invulnerability. He picks up the name Clark Kent and becomes a reporter in Cleveland (yes, Cleveland) working for the Daily Star (yes) newspaper. He begins a double life as Superman, battling the forces of evil.   

supe at gov mansSuperman takes down a wife-beater, saves Lois Lane from horny gangsters and clears a woman falsely convicted of murder by tying up the real killer – and even smashing his way into the governor’s mansion to make him call off her imminent execution.   

Setting up a cliffhanger ending, Clark Kent is assigned to cover a war in the fictional South American country of San Monte. On his way there, Clark becomes Superman and abducts Alex Greer, a Washington D.C. lobbyist who is trying to get the U.S. into a war. Hilariously, Supes takes Greer to the top of a high building and threatens to throw him to his death unless he reveals the name of his employer.  Continue reading

APRIL 26th ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog presents another look at current events from Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy, where he and his regime victimize the poor and the working class. 

hamas to bidenDEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLETS CALLED OUT FOR IGNORING THE FACT THAT HAMAS STILL HOLDS AMERICAN HOSTAGES. All just to try protecting callous, uncaring and catastrophic Joe Biden.

BIDEN’S INFLATION ACCELERATES WHILE GDP SLOWS, CAUSING MORE STAGFLATION. But Joe Biden and his fellow one percenters are doing just fine.

ANOTHER OF BIDEN’S ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ASSAULTS MULTIPLE WOMEN, THIS TIME IN MICHIGAN.

TRUMP PROSECUTORS HAPLESSLY PROVE THEIR OWN WITNESS IS A LIAR WHO FAKED EVIDENCE. But let’s face it, the judge and company decided Trump was guilty long ago.

biden is not legitDEMOCRATS AT GOOGLE VOW TO ONCE AGAIN BLOCK NEWS UNFAVORABLE TO BIDEN LIKE THEY DID IN 2020. And the Hunter Biden laptop revelations – which Big Tech pretended were “misinformation” – were just the tip of the iceberg. 

*** ATLANTIC CITY DEMOCRAT ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH ELECTION FRAUD. But no matter how many times this type of thing happens every year, Democrats pretend it doesn’t.

NEW YORK UNION LEADER: “MY MEMBERS SUPPORT TRUMP BY THREE TO ONE.” More HERE. And HERE. Union leadership sold out to corporate interests long ago, but the rank-and-file members love Trump. Trump was the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime.

L’INFERNO (1911) SILENT MOVIE

infernoL’INFERNO (1911) – This 71-minute movie was an adaptation of Dante’s epic poem Inferno, one-third of his Divine Comedy along with Purgatorio and Paradiso. It was also Italy’s first feature-length film, beating Cabiria to theaters by three years.   

Three directors collaborated on this production – Francesco Bertolini, Giuseppe de Liguoro and Adolfo Padovan. Obviously, L’Inferno is a very condensed version of Dante’s work but the special effects are impressive for the time period.

Even if I wasn’t a silent film geek aspects of this movie would have stood out to me. First, it was made in Italy toward the end of the Belle Epoch, lending it a certain poignance as the global conflict was approaching an oblivious world. 

dante and virgilSecond, L’Inferno has a certain grandeur from being filmed in Italy itself, the home of Dante Alighieri and his guide through Hell, Virgil. And third, nearly all of the footage set in the realm of the damned was filmed amid extinct and semi-extinct volcanoes in Italy, adding immeasurably to the infernal atmosphere.  Continue reading

A DEMIGOD (1886) – ANCIENT SCIENCE FICTION

a demigodA DEMIGOD (1886) – Written by American author Edward Payson Jackson, this work preceded Philip Wylie’s Gladiator by more than 4 decades.

We readers are told that in the early 1600s physician Kenelm Vere decided that human beings were not living up to their potential. He established a remote laboratory in Greece, and purchased a female he deemed physically perfect. Dr. Vere mated with her and began a selective breeding program with their offspring, with their children and grandchildren enhanced by his own scientific tweaking over the decades.

In 1880s Greece, Kenelm’s sole surviving descendant Hector, now spelling the family surname as “Vyr”, is a human wonder. Hector has Adonis-like physical beauty, intelligence far ahead of his time, greater than human strength and amazing reflexes that allow him to dodge bullets fired at him. Continue reading

THE VILLON LEGEND: PART FIVE

This is the fifth part of Balladeer’s Blog’s look at the swashbuckling legends that surround Francois Villon (1431-1463?), remembered as one of France’s greatest poets and a notorious outlaw.

ronald colman as villon againFRANCOIS VILLON PART FIVE – We left off last time with Villon on the run again, having fled Paris after the Navarre College job in which he and his fellows robbed a record amount of gold for the time period.

Formerly, despite his criminal career most of the notoriety Francois had earned was for his scandalous, irreverent poetry regarding The Powers That Be in France of his era. The December 20th, 1456 Navarre caper changed that. 

villon the life dissoluteFrom early 1457 and for a few years more, Villon continued his outlaw existence in and around the French province of Anjou and the Loire River Valley. Depending on the source, Francois either officially became a member of the criminal fraternity called the Coquillards at this time or was already a member and deepened his ties to them.

Falling in with a gang of highwaymen, Villon helped prey on the carriage trade, which enhanced his underdog/ quasi-Robin Hood reputation because only the wealthy and the high-born traveled by carriage in that era. No one else could afford to.  Continue reading
