Time for another current events roundup from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog.
THE “OUTLAW FOLK HERO” MEMES FOR TRUMP ARE IN FLIGHT! His enemies have made him an immortal symbol of resistance to their form of oppression and corruption.
(Oh, and never forget that anti-Trump fascists acted like forcing Trump to release years of his tax returns was so important, yet the returns revealed he had done nothing wrong. Our corrupt elected officials then declined to have any other politicians reveal several years of their tax returns. It has only – and ever – been about “getting” the outsider Trump.)
SENATOR JOE MANCHIN LEAVES THE INCREASINGLY FASCISTIC DEMOCRAT PARTY TO BECOME AN INDEPENDENT. As a former Democrat who made that move long ago I’d say it’s about time Manchin joined the many, many other Democrat officeholders who have left that political party in recent years.
MORE REMINDERS OF HISTORICAL HEROES WHO WERE “CONVICTED FELONS” (LMAO) LIKE TRUMP, WALESA, MANDELA, GANDHI, ETC. Plus remember JFK, who was killed by many of the same forces opposing the populist Trump.
EL SALVADOR’S PRESIDENT BOASTS “WE DON’T JAIL THE OPPOSITION.” America USED TO BE like that, too. More HERE.
READ THE LONG LISTS OF REASONS WHY LEGAL SCHOLARS SAY THE BOGUS TRUMP CONVICTION WILL BE OVERTURNED ONCE THE CASE IS OUT OF THE CORRUPT NEW YORK CESSPOOL. More HERE. And HERE.
BIDEN REGIME SCREWS SENIOR CITIZENS WITH THE LARGEST MEDICARE PREMIUM INCREASE EVER. Can people stop pretending this is the same Democrat Party that it was under FDR and JFK?
“OUTLAW” FOLK HERO AND POSSIBLE POLITICAL PRISONER PRESIDENT TRUMP GETS A HERO’S WELCOME AT UFC 302. More HERE. And HERE. CROWD CHANTS “F*CK JOE BIDEN!” HERE. Continue reading







Okay, for overseas readers, let me mention once again that EVEN IF TRUMP IS SENT TO PRISON, HE CAN STILL RUN FOR PRESIDENT JUST LIKE EUGENE DEBS DID. Hell, such a provision was made possible by recognition of the fact that any incumbent administration could well turn out to be as criminal and authoritarian as the Biden Regime has proven to be and would jail political opponents. I never thought the hopelessly corrupt Democrat and Republican political establishment would allow Trump to win, anyway, and have said so in countless previous blog posts. I will still vote for him, though. It looks like my comparison of these situations
And remember: 
CODENAME: FOXFIRE (1985) – The often star-crossed career of Joanna Cassidy hit another bump with this short-lived imitation of Charlie’s Angels. Joanna’s attractiveness and wild laugh had been paying decreasing dividends ever since the demise of her 1970s cult series 240 Robert. 
And especially “Why are we forgiving student loans for people that go to Harvard? Which, according to Scott Galloway, quite accurately, is nothing but a hedge fund that has classrooms. Well, they got a $52 billion f*cking surplus. Why are taxpayers going to bail these people out? Why don’t you come out with a proposal to tax every university with an endowment of over $5 billion and use that money to give their former students relief?” 





Over five years ago Balladeer’s Blog began a detailed look at the neglected folklore surrounding the Fool Killer figure. It’s been a while since I left off and I’m about to dive back in. There are so many new readers here that I’m posting a recap of the very first Fool Killer item from the 1850s. Next time I’ll resume where I left off – in 1913.
Balladeer’s Blog kicks off a multi-part examination of the neglected 1800s folk figure called the Fool Killer. I will cover the various stories featuring the Fool Killer and the different ways the character was used by the authors. If I ever examine the related character called the Rascal Whaler it will be in a separate series of blog posts.
However, since Evans was all about the written word, he used the Fool Killer as a much more active figure. Evans’ Fool Killer – claiming Jesse Holmes as his real name – roamed North Carolina and Virginia (which at the time still consisted of what would become West Virginia) looking for fools to kill with a club/ walking stick he always carried with him. The character would then send letters to Editor Evans explaining why he had chosen victims, defending his actions with puckish commentary.
RANGE RYDER AND THE CALGARY KID (1977) – (Also known as The Adventure of the Dinosaur Badlands.) A 14-year-old MIKE MYERS co-starred in this Canadian children’s program that was also aired in the early 1980s on Nickelodeon. (Hey, Nick even showed episodes of The Uncle Floyd Show in its early years.) Myers (in headband) played the Calgary Kid, sidekick to David Ferry’s Range Ryder.
