Here’s a mid-week current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog here in an America where Democrats continue to claim that black Republicans winning elections means that “black people” have been denied representation. Watch this Chicago heroine of color blast Democrats spreading such idiocy HERE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCES THAT SIX HUNDRED MORE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS ARE NOW AVAILABLE CHEAP VIA HIS TRUMPRx SITE. The greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime. His Healthcare Affordability Event HERE.
ANOTHER TRUMP-HATER GOES DOWN: THE TRUMP-ENDORSED ED GALLREIGN WINS KENTUCKY PRIMARY ELECTION OVER ANTI-TRUMP THOMAS MASSIE. More HERE.
REPUBLICAN SENATOR JIM JORDAN CHEERS ON THE CHANGES PRESIDENT TRUMP DEMANDED TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING BILL. The Democrats stopped being the party of the working class and the poor long ago.
ANOTHER DEMOCRAT CALLS FOR ELIMINATING THE FILIBUSTER IF THEIR PARTY SEIZES THE SENATE IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS. They make no bones about it, but the useless and outdated “harrumph, harrumph” Senate Republicans refuse to act.
AND YET ANOTHER BIDEN-RELEASED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ARRESTED FOR REPEATEDLY RAPING A GIRL FROM AGE TEN TO TWELVE. Democrats just adore perps like this.
ICE ARRESTS ANOTHER BIDEN-RELEASED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT FOR HIT-AND-RUN OF A FOUR-YEAR-OLD. Ask privileged white one percenter Bruce Springsteen about this.
ICE ARRESTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT FOR SETTING TEN CARS ON FIRE ON LONG ISLAND.
ILLEGAL IMMIGANT IN NORTH CAROLINA CHARGED BY ICE WITH MURDER AND FELONY CHILD ABUSE IN DEATH OF EIGHT-MONTH-OLD. Earlier this year we had Minnesota Democrats laying down their lives to keep such perpetrators in the country. Continue reading
MACABRA – This hostess of Omaha’s Theatre of the Macabre (1982-1985) has accomplished the seemingly impossible – she has managed to keep her real name a secret all these decades! She was an Omaha businesswoman who beat out over 150 other applicants for the position of WOWT’s Movie Hostess for their new Friday night at 10:30pm Bad Movie show. 
On top of that, Macabra rejected the over-the-top humor that characterized Elvira and her cash-in imitators in favor of a wry, understated approach that put me in mind of a combination of Movie Host legends like Moona Lisa and Fritz the Nite Owl. For an airing of Attack of the Mushroom People (1963) this hostess munched on mushrooms completely deadpan rather than hit the viewers over the head with the joke. 
With Memorial Day Weekend fast approaching, Balladeer’s Blog does a seasonal look at a neglected aspect of American military history. Spare some thoughts today for the men who perished in this action. 
With the World War still raging, the other Allied Nations prevailed on President Woodrow Wilson to divert some American forces intended for the Western Front to Archangel and beyond, joining a combined army of Brits, Poles and White Russians. The fighting in North Russia dragged on past the end of the global conflict in November of 1918 into June of 1919. The fighting in Eastern Russia dragged on until January of 1920. In other words, if the Americans sent to Russia had instead gone to their original destination of France, their combat operations would have ended on November 11th, rather than continuing for more than a year of further bloodshed and loss of limbs from frostbite. All the more reason to remember the often-neglected troops who served there. 
LANCELOT LINK: SECRET CHIMP (1970-1971) – From Sandler-Burns-Marmer Productions came this fun children’s show that presented trained chimps in a spoof of secret agent stories. Dialogue was dubbed in over the usual twitchy mouth movements of chimpanzees to attempt the illusion that the “performers” were speaking. 
Lancelot Link was a secret agent for A.P.E. (Agency to Prevent Evil), the heroic spies who opposed the agents of C.H.U.M.P. (Criminal Headquarters for Underworld Master Plan). Lance’s cover was that he was a guitarist and singer for a bubblegum pop band called the Evolution Revolution. His fellow agent Mata Hairi was also in the band along with other chimps, and novelty songs credited to the group were released in the real world. 
MR. GHIM’S DREAM (1878) – This anonymous work is set in the autumn of 1877. Mr. Ghim is a poor American who dreams of ending the “current” unemployment crisis through a massive construction project that will employ thousands. Ghim tries to enlist some of the most well-known tycoons of his day – William Vanderbilt, Robert Roosevelt, Jay Gould and others – in his scheme. 
TWO – Aeneas and his companions, the survivors of the Fall of Troy, are still lingering in Carthage. Queen Dido, not knowing that the Roman State which Aeneas will spawn will also be the future destroyer of Carthage, remains deeply in love with Aeneas. 
Playing into (or maybe establishing) the enduring cliche about people in a burgeoning romance being driven closer by needing relief from a downpour, Dido and Aeneas start to feel even friskier. Juno manipulates things further by having nature and animal life in the cave behave in ways that parallel a wedding ceremony. 
Balladeer’s Blog is on record as despising both of the rival gangs of white-collar criminals called Democrats and Republicans. Mother Jones once again did some posthumous communicating with me about our de facto Third Party President Donald Trump, who is squaring off against both those sets of villains like Clint Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars. 
It is below. But first a photo of LYNN YAEGER, the Fashion Fascist who tried ridiculing First Lady Melania Trump (Mother Jones told me Melania is our greatest First Lady since Jackie Kennedy). This fashion writer (honestly) made fun of Melania for wearing high heels as she entered Air Force One with her husband – United States President Donald Trump – to visit Houston in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. 
Barack Obama truly is garbage. Not only did this squirrely, wormy little man wait until he was DONE with his golfing vacation before visiting flood-ravaged Louisiana but when the delicate-minded child was pressed a little about his callous attitude toward the human suffering he was ignoring all that time this alleged human being ACTUALLY, REALLY said “I’m out in five months.” 
ASTONISHING TALES Vol 1 #1 (Aug 1970) 
Dr. Doom Title: Unto You is Born … the Doomsman 
Recent movie news about the latest screen adaptation of The Odyssey happened to make me reflect on the lack of a big screen version of the poet Virgil’s epic The Aeneid. For newbies to the tale, I’m posting this very brief synopsis of the story – the first half a mythic voyage like Jason and the Argonauts and The Odyssey and the second half a tale of warfare as Aeneas leads his fellow survivors of fallen Troy in their mythic conquest of what would become Rome.
