Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog is here with a mid-week current events roundup.
DR. MEHMET OZ DISCUSSES THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S PRESERVATION OF MEDICAID AGAINST ALL THREATS. The greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime. Among Dr. Oz’s remarks: “Medicaid was built for vulnerable Americans, not illegal immigrants, state bookkeeping tricks, and political generosity charged to people who had no say in the bill.”
IN DEMOCRAT-HELD “SANCTUARY STATE” CALIFORNIA, AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IS CHARGED WITH MURDERING AN INFANT PLUS THE INFANT’S MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER. No “sanctuary” is ever provided for victims, only for the perpetrators and Democrats fight to keep those perpetrators in the country at all costs.
ENGLAND’S HENRY NOWAK TRAGEDY.
PRO-TRUMP ASHLEY HINSON WINS SENATE PRIMARY ELECTION IN IOWA.
SOUTH CAROLINA POLICE OFFICERS RESCUE UNCONSCIOUS DRIVER FROM THEIR SINKING VEHICLE IN WATER. Remember, you will NEVER see anti-police “activists” risking their lives like this to save someone else.
BERNIE SANDERS DOUBLES DOWN ON HIS SUPPORT FOR GRAHAM PLATNER, THE DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE WITH THE NAZI TATTOO, A SCAT FETISH, AGGRESSIVE SEX TEXTS TO WOMEN BESIDES HIS WIFE AND EVEN WORSE. Overseas people who bizarrely support Bernie may want to take note of what he has become in recent years.
INTOLERANT DEMOCRATS ON CAMPUS FILING COMPLAINTS AGAINST PEOPLE FOR USING THE WORD “MOTHERS” INSTEAD OF SAYING “LACTATING INDIVIDUALS.” More HERE. Democrats hate reality and love using their political watchdogs to make people less free, even in casual everyday conversations. Continue reading
PART 67 – Some of the Fool Killer’s targets on both sides of the aisle in the January 1914 edition of James Larkin Pearson’s version of the folk figure:
THE UNITED STATES STEEL HOUR (1953-1963) – Some of the finest hour-long dramas aired on American television during the 1950s and 1960s were produced for The U.S. Steel Hour. Over time the anthology program added a few comedies and children’s projects, but it made its reputation on the strength of its dramas.
P.O.W. (Oct 27th, 1953) – David Davidson wrote and Alex Segal directed this tale of the tortuous brainwashing techniques that the Communist Chinese and their North Korean allies inflicted on Prisoners of War during the Korean War. In a way the 1950s Manchurian Candidate film trivialized the ordeals that service members were subjected to so that the reality seems to have faded into the background, replaced by pop culture melodrama.
THE ABLEST MAN IN THE WORLD (1879) – This short story was written by American author Edward Page Mitchell. The central figure – but not the title figure – is a wealthy bespectacled man named Fisher. Because of his scholarly appearance Fisher is mistakenly addressed as “doctor” and “professor” while staying at a spa in Baden, Germany.
If it’s Monday, it’s time for another current events roundup from 

COLLISION COURSE (1989) – Yes, it’s Pat Morita and Jay Leno as reluctant investigative partners. For starters, I owe an apology to
Despite this Pat Morita-Jay Leno joint having a bigger budget and a supporting cast made up of real actors (Chris Sarandon, Al Waxman, Soon-Tek Oh and others), this production sucks like a Hoover vacuum. Not even some 80s street cred in the form of Randall “Tex” Cobb could save Collision Course, which was recognized as such a bomb that it didn’t get released – on video, at that – until 1992. And even then it was done solely to exploit Leno taking over The Tonight Show from Johnny Carson.
While Joe Biden hides in his bunker from the Biden Family Corruption Scandal, Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog notes that yet ANOTHER Native American Tribe has endorsed de facto Third Party President Donald Trump. In the endorsement, Alvin Not Afraid, Jr (the best name imaginable) called attention to President Trump’s policy of letting the tribe assign and grant permits on THEIR OWN mineral rights, unlike so many previous administrations. (link below)
Meanwhile, Martin Luther King Person of Courage Maurice Davis, the Democrat VP of the Flint City Council announced he is crossing party lines to support President Trump:
CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER REV WILLIAM OWENS also mentioned his support for Trump, praising the president’s policies which have helped communities of color.
ASTONISHING TALES Vol 1 #9 (Dec 1971)
ROB ROY: THE HIGHLAND ROGUE (1953) – Accurate history has no place in this Disney film in which Richard Todd stars as Scottish Clan leader and legendary outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor. The film begins in 1715 as Clan MacGregor is among the Scottish forces fighting against King George the First of England in the Jacobite Uprising.
Montrose pardons all the Jacobite Clans except the MacGregors, who are forbidden to even use their surname, hence their leader being renowned as simply Rob Roy. Our hero is imprisoned by Montrose but escapes and leads his kinsmen and loyalists in rustling Montrose’s cattle and looting his estates.
