Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog is here with a Friday current events lineup.
DEMOCRAT MEDIA ALLY CALLS FOR PISTOLS TO BE FIRED AT VICE PRESIDENT J.D. VANCE TO PREVENT HIM EVER BECOMING PRESIDENT. Is anyone still wondering why so many of us have left the violent and unhinged Democrat Party? Those rabid hatemongers are so serious about killing people who disagree with them that they’ve already assassinated Charlie Kirk and tried to assassinate President Trump multiple times.
DEMOCRATS ARE GONNA DEMOCRAT: DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE ABDUL EL-SAYED GETS SERVED A CEASE-AND-DESIST ITEM FOR HIS INCREASINGLY CREEEPY ATTACKS ON OPPONENT MIKE ROGERS’ WIFE. That silence you hear is the hypocrisy of privileged white Democrat women who pretend to fight misogyny.
CHINA, THE WORLD’S WORST POLLUTER, ONCE AGAIN PRETENDS TO CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT.
IN DEMOCRAT-HELD CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES COUNTY CLAIMS TO HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF VOTERS ARE ILLEGALS AND JUST TAKES THEIR WORD ABOUT THEIR CITIZENSHIP STATUS. Democrats snivel about plummeting confidence in California elections, but THEY are the reason for that plummeting confidence.
ANOTHER EXAMINATION OF VOTE FRAUD AND CORRUPTION.
A MAJORITY OF THOSE ARRESTED IN MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR SNAP FRAUD RING IN OREGON ARE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Yes, Democrat “sanctuary” locations protect people committing further crimes.
UTAH GROUP OPPOSED TO ICE AND TRUMP-VOTERS DISCUSS KILLING THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN AND SENDING OTHERS TO REEDUCATION CAMPS. The Democrats may pull who knows what in this year’s election. On that subject look at THIS anonymous anti-Trump story the Washington Post is floating to justify whatever violence Democrats may have in mind.
VIRGINIA DEMOCRAT STATE SENATOR CHARGED WITH DRUG RACKETEERING AND MORE. More HERE. Family members also arrested regarding the ring.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CAUGHT BEHEADING THE IWO JIMA MONUMENT.
MORE FALLOUT FROM DEMOCRAT SENATOR (AND FORMER CIA VERMIN) ELISSA SLOTKIN’S THREATS AGAINST PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR POLITICAL FIGURES SHE DOESN’T LIKE. “Six ways to Sunday” takes on even uglier meaning. Continue reading
THE HILARIOUS HOUSE OF FRIGHTENSTEIN (1971-1974) – Balladeer’s Blog’s recent review of Countdown Canada (1970) generated so much excitement that I decided to go to the Canada Well once again with this classic children’s series which combined kid-friendly monsters with educational programming and the always welcome Vincent Price. 
That poem went “Another lovely day begins, for ghosts and ghouls with greenish skin. So close your eyes and you will find, that you’ve arrived in Frightenstein. Perhaps the Count will find a way, to make his monster work today. For if he solves this monster-mania, he can return to Transylvania! So welcome where the sun won’t shine, to the castle of Count Frightenstein!” And then Price did his patented sinister laugh, again like he would go on to do for Thriller more than a decade later. 
As that intro indicated, the premise to this show was that Count Frightenstein and the others at his castle in Frankenstone were living in exile from Transylvania until he could bring Brucie J. Monster (basically the Frankenstein Monster) back to life. That backstory was really just the excuse for the ensuing madness in the form of kid-friendly comedy sketches and educational material, all presented with monsters as the characters. 
Institution: YAVAPAI COLLEGE 
Halloween Month continues with this review of one of the zombie movies of French Director Jean Rollin. Balladeer’s Blog’s reviews of Rollin’s films always point out that his works range from brilliant and artistic to just plain awful. 
COUNTDOWN CANADA (1970) – Here at Balladeer’s Blog I am amazed that this vintage Canadian Television work of speculative fiction hasn’t received renewed fame in 2026. And not one IMDb review as of this writing. 
MADD FRANK – This ghoulish character was played by Kent Kamron, whose real name is Delray K. Dvoracek (but everyone knew him as Nancy). He hosted Madd Frank Presents on KVRR in Fargo, North Dakota from May 1985 to an unknown date in 1995. 
THE GALLERY OF MADAME LIU-TSONG aka MADAME LIU-TSONG (1951) – The great Anna May Wong starred in this Dumont Network program, which was THE FIRST U.S. TELEVISION SERIES WITH AN ASIAN-AMERICAN STAR. Wong had worked in Silent Films like Peter Pan and The Thief of Bagdad, then as Fu Manchu’s daughter in a few talkies. 
CANON ALBERIC’S SCRAPBOOK – Written by Montague Rhodes James, and I’m shocked that I still encounter people today who are not familiar with him and his works. Anyway, that made me decide to examine his first supernatural horror story. 
The story features Dennistoun, a Cambridge Scholar who takes a vacation on the Continent so he can tour, photograph and sketch old cathedrals in France. Dennistoun bicycles to the town of St.-Bertrand-de-Comminges near Toulouse to cover its cathedral.
