THE FIGHTING QUAKER, THOMAS CARPENTER: The Fourth of July is fast approaching! As always Balladeer’s Blog will be marking the occassion with plenty of seasonal posts.
Though his Quaker principles prevented him from taking on a combat role in the Revolutionary War, Thomas Carpenter became a Paymaster of militia units on March 19th, 1777. Continue reading

Here at Balladeer’s Blog regular readers know the drill: I’m far from a conservative but like so many of us I stopped considering myself a Liberal when I saw how American Liberals adopted their “Islam: Right or Wrong” attitude years ago.
As a break from what I have to say about it here is a video by another former Liberal disgusted with the Democrats’ gutless hypocrisy. They’ll blame videos, they’ll blame guns, but will NEVER blame the blood-soaked religion that is the common factor in these terrorist attacks. Continue reading

White Birch players hold up the Monty Waterbury Cup for the 3rd year in a row! Hilario Ulloa (Deuce), Mariano Aguerre (Back), Peter Brant (Chevy) and Santino Magrini (Ace)

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME – The storied WHITE BIRCH Polo Team took on GOOSE CREEK – Official Balladeer’s Blog Name – the VIRGINIANS – for the 2016 title. In the First Chukker White Birch started the scoring with a goal from Hilario Ulloa but Goose Creek came charging from behind to take a 3-1 lead.

In the Third Chukker White Birch exploded for 4 goals – 3 from Ulloa and 1 from Mariano Aguerre – while Goose Creek could muster just 1. Both teams went into Halftime tied up 6-6. Continue reading

A SYMBOL OF HATRED, SLAVERY, MASS RAPE AND INFANTICIDE.
I consider all religions to be mythology and to be irrational diseases of the mind, but only the most gutless hypocrites try to pretend that Islam is not the most violent and intolerant religion in the world right now. This is Muslim Violence Awareness Year, so here are just a few of the latest atrocities courtesy of that homophobic and misogynistic pack of superstitions.
June 12th – Orlando, FL – A Muslim supporter of Hillary Clinton and Obamastan (Islamic State) killed 49 gay people and injured 53 others at a gay nightclub. Among his stated reasons were Obama’s drone attacks on Muslims around the world. America’s Democratic Party (“The Muslim Fanatic’s Best Enablers!”) chose to pretend this Ramadan massacre was a gun control issue, as if Muslim terrorists have never used bombs or knives or airplanes.
June 9th – Halgan , Somalia – Al Shabaab, the local affiliate of the Global Muslim Fascist Murder Machine, launched a suicide assault, killing 43 innocent people. I’m guessing Obama blamed the NRA.
June 12th – Darak, Cameroon – Boko Haram, the local affiliate of the Global Muslim Fascist Murder Machine, kidnapped 42 innocent fishermen and killed them. Obama presumably blamed America’s gun culture.
June 21st – Garabulli, Libya – Islamic State (Obamastan) operatives killed 29 innocent people and injured over 30 more by unleashing artillery against them. Obama probably cited this as further “successes” of his disastrous Libyan policy.
June 17th – Kuda, Nigeria – Muslim fascists shot 24 women to death. Bigot-In-Chief Obama probably blamed white Americans from the working class. Continue reading

Foolkiller (Greg Salinger)
Balladeer’s Blog’s “Script Doctoring” of Marvel’s handling of Foolkiller continues with Part Sixteen.
FOR PART ONE CLICK HERE
My alternate treatment of Foolkiller (Greg Salinger) in The Defenders # 90 will deal with the funeral of Hellcat’s (Patsy Walker’s) mother and with Daredevil rejoining the Defenders since Matt Murdock is now part of Nighthawk’s (Kyle Richmond’s) legal defense team. The Mandrill and Fem-Force strike again as part of that mutant villain’s plan to revenge himself upon the Defenders, Daredevil and his own parents: everyone he blames for his setbacks.
