Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog serves up another current events roundup. Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of President Donald Trump surviving the first of his deranged enemies’ attempts to assassinate him. Democrat media outlets covered it this way.
*** NEW! JOE BIDEN ADMITS HE DID NOT APPROVE MANY OF THE NAMES PARDONED VIA AUTOPEN. Much bigger scandal than the irrational accusations being thrown at Trump right now.

DEMOCRAT LIES ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TARIFFS GO DOWN IN FLAMES … AGAIN.

MARVEL FEATURE Vol 1 #1 (December 1971)

CASEY JONES (1957-1958) – Alan Hale, in his pre-Gilligan’s Island years, starred as the legendary train engineer John Luther “Casey” Jones in this series that’s not only appropriate for Frontierado season but makes for a nice watch with the whole family all year ’round. (It never depicted the incident in which the real Casey Jones died.)
The show lasted 32 half-hour episodes and was set in Tennessee as Casey worked his steam engine the Cannonball Express (just Cannonball in real life) westward and back during the 1890s. Child actor Bobby Clark played our hero’s son Casey, Jr. while Mary Lawrence was Casey’s wife Alice. Eddy Waller portrayed Conductor “Red Rock” Smith.
