FOR PART ONE (2016) OF THIS RETROSPECTIVE FROM INDEPENDENT VOTER SITE BALLADEER’S BLOG CLICK HERE.
NEW YORK DEMOCRAT ERIC SCHNEIDERMAN GOES DOWN IN FLAMES – Karmic cautionary tale about this politician who was being mindlessly praised and called a “superhero” by Democrats just because he criticized de facto Third-Party President Donald Trump. Schneiderman’s “Andrew Cuomo” downfall came as he resigned in May 2018 when several women came forward with accusations about the physical abuse and humiliation he inflicted on them. Click HERE.
One woman of color even stated that Schneiderman made her call him “master” during roleplay. Democrats still haven’t learned to stop elevating creeps like Schneiderman, Andrew Cuomo, Michael Avenatti and so many others just because they trash Trump.
TECHNO-TYRANTS OF SILICON VALLEY – This tongue-in-cheek dystopian item looked at the abuses by Big Tech. In May 2018 it was meant as a dose of humor, but since then Big Tech has been revealed to be far worse in real life. Click HERE.
NEW YORK TIMES ITEM ON THE POMPOUS SNOBBERY OF ANTI-TRUMP FANATICS – And a look at how their hysteria drives people away. HERE. And HERE.
TRANSGRESS WITH ME: MAY 28th – Included sayings like “Never believe white Democrats about how women, people of color and gay people feel about various issues. They have a diversity of opinions and are not the monolithic “mobs with a single mind” like Democrats always try to depict groups they pretend to “own.” It’s HERE.
COURAGEOUS AFRICAN-AMERICAN LLOYD MARCUS POINTED OUT HOW TRUMP WAS “PULLING DOWN WINS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE”. Click HERE.

DAREDEVIL AND THE BLACK WIDOW Vol 1 #95 (January 1973) 
When the Man-Bull begins rampaging through Frisco in order to flush out our hero, the Black Widow and Daredevil swing into action against him. Eventually the villain renders Daredevil unconscious, leaving the Black Widow alone against him for the cliffhanger ending. 
FERD THE DANDY (1821-1866) – The Frontierado holiday is coming up on Friday, August 4th this year, so here is another seasonal post from Balladeer’s Blog. This one covers a ruthless, yet often forgotten, gambler-gunslinger. 
Come 1859 Ferd the Dandy had acquired too big a reputation as a professional gambler to even get in a game anymore, so he gravitated to the Sailors’ Diggings Gold Rush near Waldo, Oregon. The mining town had already known the murderous rampage of the Triskett Gang by the time Patterson arrived to stain Waldo with his own activities. 
Balladeer’s Blog’s recurring feature Forgotten Television returns with this look at four television presentations of works by the Russian writer Anton Chekhov.

TEMPLE LEA HOUSTON (August 12th, 1860-August 15th, 1905) – This future gunslinging lawyer and last child of Sam Houston with his wife Margaret Lea-Houston was born in the Governor’s Mansion in Austin, TX. His storied father, the first president of the short-lived Republic of Texas was then serving as governor for the state of Texas.
It was during this time that Temple met an old friend of his father, who arranged a job for the young man as a Senate Page in Washington, DC. Working in that capacity for 3 years, Temple developed an ambition to study law and enter politics himself someday. 
THE LAND OF THE CHANGING SUN (1894) – By William N. Harben, a former American literary giant who has since been forgotten. 
THOMASINE & BUSHROD (1974) – The Frontierado Holiday is Friday, August 4th this year, so here is another seasonal post – a review of the black western Thomasine & Bushrod. This tale of a pair of outlaw lovers is a nice change of pace since it is set in the fading Wild West of 1911-1915. Automobiles are beginning to show up here and there, making Thomasine & Bushrod a fascinating fusion of “Robin Hood Outlaw” tales bridging both the old west and the later Pretty Boy Floyd era. 
While collecting the money from her most recent success, Thomasine sees a fresh Wanted poster for her old boyfriend J.P. Bushrod, a gunslinging bank robber and rustler portrayed by Max Julien from the previous year’s blaxploitation hit The Mack.
