POLITICAL CARTOON ROUNDUP: MARCH 6th

democrat republican otherIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at some recent political cartoons and the failures of elected Democrats and Republicans. (Plus, how about Joe Biden’s latest senile gibberish. He actually said “How did we get to the place where, you know, Putin decides he’s gonna just invade Russia?”)

We start out with the item below ridiculing Joe Biden’s idiotic lie about outfighting a street hood called Corn Pop. This Tall Tale/ outrageous fabrication was always kicked off by Biden’s inane remark “Corn Pop was a bad dude …” The “bad dude” wording is typical of the way privileged white one percenter career criminals like Joe Biden feel they need to talk down to voters of color through embarrassing attempts at sounding “ghetto.”

This next one is a reminder of Joe Biden’s reputation for corruption and for getting “ten percent for the Big Guy” kicked up to him by other members of the Biden Crime Family, like his Underboss son Hunter Biden.  Continue reading

FOOL KILLER SIXTY TWO: MARCH 1913

Balladeer’s Blog continues its examination of the many facets of Fool Killer lore. FOR PART ONE, INCLUDING THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT IN THE 1850s, CLICK HERE 

Fool Killer graySome of the Fool Killer’s targets from the March of 1913 edition of James Larkin Pearson’s Fool-Killer –

*** The ceremonies and participants involved in the March 4th inauguration. NOTE: It was not until the Franklin Roosevelt years that inaugurations changed to January. The Fool Killer attended in person, another difference from Charles Napoleon Bonaparte Evans’ original Fool Killer in the 1800s, who religiously avoided Washington DC for fear of being corrupted by setting foot there.

              In another turn of phrase that seemed almost modern day – like his coining of the term “Truth Bombs” in 1910 – Pearson’s Fool Killer titled his tale of Inauguration Day I Went, I Saw, I Spewed. Because Pearson and his Fool Killer despised both the outgoing William Howard Taft and the incoming Woodrow Wilson he described the swearing-in as Uncle Sam taking off a pair of dirty clothes, then putting them back on.

              He described the fools lining up for hours just to catch a glimpse of political figures as they paraded by, and sneered at the unseemly imperiousness of the inaugural ceremonies for a supposed democratic republic. (I agree.)

                           The Fool Killer also labeled the military band a “Murderer’s Union.” After additional insults regarding the pomp and circumstance and the “glittering generalities” of Wilson’s inaugural address, he moved on to other topics.   

Some of his other targets this month:

*** The toadying astrologer who prepared a horoscope of the “present and past lives” of the soon to be wed high society Helen Gould and Finley Shepard. In the kind of idiotic obsequiousness shown to celebrity couples of today, like the repulsive Harry and Meghan, the astrologer depicted the pair as soul-mates during the days of ancient Babylon, then Egypt, then the Roman Empire and so on to 1700s France and finally the present day. The Fool Killer wryly pointed out that money can even buy aggrandizing gibberish like this.    Continue reading

DEMOCRATS VERSUS THE REST OF US: MARCH 2nd

biden a weak failure

Joe Biden – WHO STILL HAS MORE KIDS IN CAGES THAN EITHER TRUMP OR OBAMA DID – stumbled his way through a disgracefully dishonest State of the Union address. He couldn’t pronounce “ruble”. The blithering buffoon called Ukrainians “Iranians” and mentioned “a pound of Ukrainian people.” (?) No mention of the FBI investigation of the Ashley Biden diary and its account of Joe Biden taking “inappropriate” showers with his daughter when she was a child

And 81 year old privileged white one percenter Democrat Nancy Pelosi literally wiggled out of her seat with glee and ground her knuckles together at the mention of American soldiers getting exposed to toxic burn pits. Why? Did her addled mind even comprehend what Biden said?

THE BRAIN (1962) BAD MOVIE REVIEW

brainTHE BRAIN (1962) – Freddie Francis directed this black & white film, which was the third movie adaptation of Curt Siodmak’s science fiction novel Donovan’s Brain. The characters’ names were changed and the sci fi elements were mixed with detective story elements this time around.

Max Holt, a callous, bloated rich pig of the George Soros/ Koch Family type, is one of the passengers on an airplane which crashes near the laboratory of Dr Peter Corrie (Peter van Eyck). That reclusive doctor and his colleague Dr Frank Shears (played by Bernard Lee himself) have been conducting experiments to see how long they can keep monkey brains alive once removing them from their host body.

masc graveyard smallerCorrie and Shears discover that Max Holt is the only one of the airplane passengers still clinging to life, but just barely, and has no hope of survival. Corrie browbeats Shears into helping him get Holt’s body back to their lab, where they remove his brain to see how long they can keep it alive in one of their fish aquarium containers filled with life-preserving fluids and equipment.

POLL: SIXTY-TWO PERCENT OF VOTERS SAY PUTIN WOULD NOT HAVE INVADED UKRAINE IF TRUMP WAS STILL IN THE WHITE HOUSE

biden on sanctionsbiden bloodThe latest Harvard/ Harris Poll found that sixty-two percent of the voters feel that Vlad Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Donald Trump was still in the White House. Out of that 62%, 59% also said Putin invaded because he saw weakness in Joe Biden. (links below) This has resulted in the Democrats’ media outlets frantically pushing another Big Lie, this time that Trump was “praising” Putin by acknowledging the cold-hearted, calculating nature of the Russian leader and his Ukraine moves after baiting Biden into okaying an incursion.

To the rest of us – aka “adults” – it was obvious that Trump meant this the same way that some people point out the cunning and genius for atrocities shown by vile figures like Hitler or Stalin. It was not praise, just a mature observation of how Putin had outmaneuvered the weak and overmatched Joe Biden.

(By the way, the shouder-mounted Javelin missile weaponry that is so damaging to the Russian invaders was PROVIDED TO UKRAINE BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.) Continue reading

CAPTAIN AMERICA & THE FALCON: 1970s CLASSICS 9 – CAP QUITS AND THE ALIEN LUCIFER RETURNS

For Part One of this series click HERE.

ca f 176CAPTAIN AMERICA & THE FALCON Vol 1 #176 (August 1974)

Title: Captain America No More

Villain: Steve Rogers’ drama queen tendency to quit being Captain America every so many years. This was already the SECOND time he had pulled this.

Synopsis: Captain America, still reeling from the monumental revelation about the leader of the now-defeated Secret Empire, has been contemplating whether or not his disillusionment is strong enough to drive him to quit being Captain America.

Avengers 125NOTE: In spite of my joke above, I do recognize that THIS time that Cap quit let the Marvel Comics writers explore competing nationwide feelings of the time period. I would argue that this time also should have been the last time this gimmick was pulled. Everybody always knows that Steve Rogers will go back to being Captain America no matter how many times he quits.

While weighing his decision, he motorcycled from Washington DC to New York City, where he and his fellow Avengers fought alongside Captain Marvel and Drax the Destroyer in the first Thanos War (1973-1974). He was also still with the Avengers when they faced the supervillains Klaw and Solarr.

This issue picks up late that same night, after the Avengers’ official farewell dinner for the Black Panther, who was temporarily leaving the team to devote all his attention to Killmonger’s uprising in Wakanda. Cap stands on the rooftop of Avengers Mansion, still engaged in soul-searching. Continue reading
