Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog provides another current events roundup.
TRUMP EFFECT: MORTGAGE RATES FALL BELOW SIX PERCENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S SAVINGS PLANS ARE A BIG HIT WITH SWING VOTERS.
FURTHER STEPS TAKEN IN PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HOME AFFORDABILITY AGENDA. He’s the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime.
TRUMP GETS THE SENATE TO ACT TO CODIFY HIS ORDER TO BAN RICH PIG WALL STREET FIRMS FROM CONTINUING TO BUY UP HOMES SO THEY CAN PRICE OUT WORKING CLASS FAMILIES. Once again Trump outshines phony populists like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren who are all talk and just pad their bank accounts while in office.
HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT SECRETARY SCOTT TURNER LAUDS THE CONTINUED LOWERING OF RENT PRICES UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S POLICIES. Bloated rich pig celebrities who hate Trump couldn’t care less about the survival of the poor and the working class.
A TERRIFIC LOOK AT EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THE 2026 DEMOCRAT PARTY. The author’s WAY too optimistic by implying the Democrat Party is dying, however.
FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP, WHO SPEAKS MORE LANGUAGES THAN BOTH OBAMAS AND BOTH BIDENS COMBINED, WILL MAKE HISTORY WHEN SHE PRESIDES OVER A UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL MEETING ON MARCH SECOND. She’s a cosmopolitan role model for women everywhere.
CAREER CRIMINAL HILLARY CLINTON FURTHER CEMENTED TO JEFFREY EPSTEIN IN THE PAGES OF HISTORY. More HERE.
PRIVILEGED WHITE ONE PERCENTER DEMOCRAT NANCY PELOSI SAYS TRUMP IS NOT A PATRIOT. Back when I was a Democrat before going Independent, I always despised the way elected Republicans often accused people who disagreed with them of being unpatriotic. Such accusations are just as repulsive when Democrats try them. Continue reading
UTOPIA or THE HISTORY OF AN EXTINCT PLANET, PSYCHOMETRICALLY OBTAINED (1884) – Written by Alfred Denton Cridge. An unnamed narrator comes across the remains of a meteor that entered Earth’s atmosphere. This narrator has the gift of psychometry (the author’s uncle was THE William Denton) and after he picks up the tangerine-sized chunk of black rock from another planet he begins getting impressions from it. 
The planet was just 2,500 miles across and was home to a race of roughly 5 1/2 feet tall humanoids, some with yellow skin, some with brown skin and others with gray skin. All the races had long, black hair. Utopia sported Earthlike plains, mountains, lakes and rivers with just one huge ocean. 
BEN VEREEN … COMIN’ AT YA (1975) – As famous and celebrated as the multitalented Ben Vereen is, he’s STILL underrated! At least here in 2026 he is, but in 1975 the stage and television performer was enchanting the U.S. like no other black performer since Sammy Davis Jr. 
Vereen hosted the program plus sang, danced and starred in comedy sketches with celebrity guest stars. One of the show’s regulars was the one and only Lola Falana, who always got a show-stopping introduction from Ben. (“Lola Fuh-LAW-Naaa, Lola Fuh-LAW-Naaa.”) 
HEART OF AMERICA ATHLETIC CONFERENCE – Only one Upset in the HAAC Tournament Opening Round. 
WAVELENGTH (1983) – This is an unjustly neglected science fiction film that stars Robert Carradine, Cherie Currie and Keenan Wynn in a very unconventional love triangle: both Carradine and Currie are fighting over Wynn. (I’m kidding!) 
ALADDIN AND THE WONDERFUL LAMP aka Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp (1917) – Remember how the 1976 movie Bugsy Malone presented a gangster tale with children in all the roles? And how Shirley Temple starred in an entire series of Baby Burlesque shorts with all-child casts in assorted genres? Well, this 80-minute silent film was earlier than all of them. 
DAIGORO VS GOLIATH (1972) – This neglected kaiju (giant monster) film from Japan is one of the most obscure of them all in America. That’s odd since the movie was a joint project between the creators of Godzilla AND the creators of Ultraman, two very popular characters here in the west.
