Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog does another current events roundup.
RUSSIA HOAX AGAINST TRUMP: ONGOING REVELATIONS – STILL-SEATED DEMOCRAT SENATOR MARK WARNER IMPLICATED IN THE HOAX COVERUP NOW NEW WHISTLEBLOWER REPORT CLASSIFIED ANNEX TO THE DURHAM REPORT IS OUT More HERE. HILLARY CLINTON CAUGHT IN PAST STATEMENT SAYING SHE APPROVED OF THE RUSSIA HOAX PLAN. CLAPPER AND HIS MINIONS THREATENED WHISTLEBLOWER FOR NOT SIGNING OFF ON FABRICATED RUSSIA ITEMS. ANTI-TRUMP FBI STAFF CAUGHT TRYING TO BURN EVIDENCE REGARDING THE RUSSIA HOAX.
DEMOCRAT SENATOR SLOTKIN INSULTS EVERYONE’S INTELLIGENCE BY WHITEWASHING WHAT THE CIA DOES. I’ve said before that one of the reasons I USED TO be a Democrat before going Independent was that Democrats used to outspokenly criticize the CIA. Years ago the Democrats sold out and are now shills for that destructive, deceptive agency.
SENATOR GRAHAM POINTS OUT THAT HILLARY CLINTON CAME UP WITH THE RUSSIA HOAX TO DISTRACT FROM HER OWN SCANDALS. That’s been obvious for a very long time.
DEMOCRAT CITY COUNCIL MEMBER IN CINCINATTI CALLED OUT FOR SAYING THE VICTIMS “BEGGED FOR THAT BEATDOWN.” The party of hatemongers.
UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP’s ECONOMY THE NEW JOBS ARE GOING TO ACTUAL CITIZENS. He is still the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime.
CAMBODIA IS THE LATEST COUNTRY TO NOMINATE TRUMP FOR THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. Continue reading

This weekend’s escapist, light-hearted superhero post here at Balladeer’s Blog looks at Marvel’s 1973 combination of its licensed War of the Worlds rights with its original IP Killraven (1973-1976). It was similar to how Marvel combined their licensed Fu Manchu rights with
WAR OF THE WORLDS – Jonathan Raven, rechristened Killraven in the gladiatorial circuit of Earth’s alien conquerors of the “future,” leads a group of Freemen in an attempt to retake the planet. CLICK
THE WARLORD STRIKES – On the run after the destruction and genocide of their Staten Island rebel colony, Killraven and his Freemen run afoul of the Warlord, a human quisling who has wanted revenge against the rebel leader ever since he escaped from the gladiatorial pens. CLICK
HAPPY FRONTIERADO! The first Friday of every August marks Frontierado, the holiday devoted to the myth of the old west rather than the grinding reality. For some of us the celebration kicks off Thursday night; for others they wait until the actual day of Frontierado to hold their festivities.
WHISKEY JIM – James Greathouse was born in Texas around 1854. Nothing is known about his early life but at age 20 he was living in Fort Griffin and running a successful bootleg whiskey network he had shot his way to the top of. As you could guess that illicit trade earned him his nickname Whiskey Jim.
THE KNIGHTS – In The Knights Aristophanes pioneered a new sub-genre of Attic Old Comedy: the Demagogue Comedy. The villain of this masterpiece of political satire was a figure called the Paphlagonian, who was patterned on Cleon, a notorious Athenian politician of the time period. 
HENRY SEYMOUR LOOT – In 1879 Henry Seymour led his outlaw gang in robbing a stagecoach just out of Brigham City, Arizona and outside the Pine Spring Stage Station. The gang had targeted this particular stage because it carried a shipment of newly minted gold coins supposedly worth over $200,000. (If true that would be $6,429,000 here in 2025)
Here’s today’s current events roundup from 


A VOYAGE TO THE WORLD IN THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH (1755) – This intriguing work was published in London anonymously and no author has yet been decisively identified. The novel’s narrator – who remains as anonymous as the book’s author – parties away his inheritance and then ships out for Italy.
STAGECOACH WEST (1960-1961) – This Friday, August 1st will mark the Frontierado Holiday this year, so let me slip in a few more seasonal blog posts along with my usual items. Stagecoach West starred Wayne Rogers as Luke Perry and Shannen Doherty as Brenda Walsh!
HIGH LONESOME – Stagecoach driver Luke Perry meets his latest load of passengers, among them Simon Kane, a man searching for his runaway wife. His son Davey travels with him and Sime told the boy his mother died to keep the more painful truth from him.
