It has literally been years since Balladeer’s Blog did a post in my Transgress with Me series, so here we go. For newbies, I’m an Independent Voter who used to be a Democrat until they became such intolerant fascists. At present, it’s the Democrats who are the worst authoritarians and hatemongers, but I have bashed figures from both major political parties here.
*** All “news” outlets are biased, but at present Democrat outlets far outnumber those for the opposition party, and that has resulted in a false impression of a national consensus on various issues and topics. (But it’s the fault of the Republican Party that they are still so far behind in the Media Arms Race.)
*** Democrats mistakenly believe that successfully censoring dissenting opinions means they are “in the right.”
*** When pompous Democrats put up those nauseating signs that say “Hate has no home here” what they really mean is “Hate has no home here, except for our perfectly righteous hatred of everyone who disagrees with any of our political opinions.”
*** Elon Musk, like de facto Third Party President Donald Trump, was long a darling of the Democrats until daring to disobey The Party. Now The Party wants them destroyed.
*** Democrats are only content in environments where they have a captive audience, like in schools or wherever they can use the full force of the government or other higher “authorities” to impose silence on those who disagree with them.
*** If you want people killed or injured just because they voted differently than you did, then they aren’t the fascists – YOU ARE.
*** Democrats are not liberals – they’re illiberal. Democrats are not progressives – they’re regressive.
*** Democrat dishonesty has become even worse and is spiraling out of control. The number of lies they try to force the rest of us to believe is always growing, especially the Democrat insistence that some males menstruate and some men can naturally get pregnant. Some “party of science.”
*** Democrat snobbery and pretentiousness have become such that they will be well into their 20s or older and living with their parents but will look down on a plumber who makes six figures and is raising a family.
*** People who say that teaching is a political act should never be trusted with authority over vulnerable young minds.
*** Democrats demonize and dehumanize anyone who does not support their every opinion, yet they pretend to be models of “tolerance”.
*** People who actually think any American President has been the equivalent of Hitler need to seek professional help. They’re only trying to compare them to Hitler for self-aggrandizement. After all, such pathetic little people think that it makes their own whiny complaints the equivalent of “fighting Hitler” which we all know such insecure narcissists would NEVER have had the courage to do.

THE JOKER (1919) – With the Joker sequel reportedly stinking up theaters around the country I figured why not look at the 1919 pulp magazine hero who used that nom de guerre? 
The previous installments of Fool Killer lore have seen the neglected 1800s folk figure in a variety of roles: 
In honor of the Halloween season this post will look at the Fool Killer as a 1980s slasher. 
THE FOOL KILLER – As we all know, Anthony Perkins starred in the eerie 1965 movie The Fool Killer as an amnesiac Civil War veteran who came to believe he was really the legendary title figure. A 1980s slasher version of the Fool Killer could feature a deranged killer who has similarly come to regard himself as the “real” one.
LIBERTY VS ACES: GAME FOUR – The NEW YORK LIBERTY were on the road against the WNBA’s two-time defending national champions – the LAS VEGAS ACES. 
EZRA PEDEN – This was Allan Cunningham’s tale about the deeds of Scottish Presbyterian Minister Ezra Peden and his encounters with the forces of the supernatural in Scotland from the late 1600s to around 1706. It makes for nice Halloween Season reading and practically makes you feel the chilliness of Scotland in late October as Cunningham depicts the brave, if humorless, Ezra adventuring in the moonlight.

DOWN GOES NUMBER TWO – In the NAIA the CONCORDIA (NE) BULLDOGS visited the number 2 team in the nation – the NORTHWESTERN (IA) COLLEGE RED RAIDERS. A 7-0 1st Quarter lead for the Red Raiders turned into a 7-7 tie by Halftime. From there the Bulldogs outscored Northwestern College 22-10 to win this Upset 29-17. 
KNOCKING OFF NUMBER FOUR – Over in NCAA Division Two the UNIVERSITY OF SIOUX FALLS COUGARS took it on the road against the 4th ranked MINNESOTA STATE MAVERICKS. At the Half the Cougars led 23-9, but the Mavericks cut that to a 30-23 edge in the 3rd Quarter. USF finalized the Upset in the 4th 40-36. 
ACES VS LIBERTY: GAME THREE – This series moved back to Sin City as the two-time defending national champions, the LAS VEGAS ACES welcomed the NEW YORK LIBERTY. 
SWAMP THING Vol 1 #3 (March 1973) 
Alec’s body was dumped in the swamp, where the bio-restorative chemicals his body had been soaked in interacted with his own anatomy, the mud and the plant life in the swamp, letting him rise from the dead as a murk-monster. The Swamp Thing retained Alec Holland’s intelligence but could not speak for the first several issues.
