The latest current events roundup from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog. And remember, everyone is welcome here no matter who they vote for.
TRUMP-ENDORSED CANDIDATE JEFF LANDRY WINS THE LOUISIANA GOVERNOR’S RACE, REPLACING THE DEMOCRAT. More HERE.
EVEN THE PRO-BIDEN MEDIA OUTLET POLITICO IS FORCED TO ADMIT THAT BIDEN’S MISHANDLING OF AMERICA’S STRATEGIC OIL RESERVES MAKES US INCREDIBLY VULNERABLE TO OIL PRICES BEING USED AGAINST US IN BIDEN’S VARIOUS ONGOING WARS. More HERE.
FEDERAL JUDGE REJECTS THE BIDEN REGIME’S CLAIMS THAT GEORGIA REQUIRING I.D. FOR VOTING IS RACIST. Europe has been using voter i.d. for a very, very long time. But Democrats always fight voter i.d. because it hinders their vote fraud activities.
AND YET ANOTHER GREAT PIECE REGARDING VOTE FRAUD. “I See Dead People Voting” is the title.
CALLOUS JOE BIDEN IGNORES QUESTIONS REGARDING CONTACT WITH FAMILIES OF THE AMERICANS TRAPPED IN ISRAEL AND VICINITY. Biden’s very own hostage crisis continues. And we all know how the corporate media would have treated Biden’s predecessor for openly ignoring such questions.
BIDEN REGIME IS FORCING AMERICANS WHO WANT TRANSPORT OUT OF ISRAEL AND VICINITY TO SIGN AGREEMENTS TO PAY BACK THE EXPENSE OF EVACUATING THEM. But signing student loan forms can be ignored by the Biden Regime at will for political reasons. Joe Biden is filth.
EXCELLENT POST ABOUT HOW DEMOCRATS PRACTICE “SALEM WITCH TRIAL” LEVELS OF NON-JUSTICE.
JUDGE WHO HAS MADE PUBLIC REMARKS THAT TRUMP SHOULD BE LOCKED UP REMAINS IN CHARGE OF THIS TRUMP CASE AND HAS IMPOSED A GAG ORDER ON HIM. Banana Republic America. A political opposition leader is gagged on grounds that he “influences potential jurors.” So, the accused may be publicly slandered with no limits, and the judge pretends that it won’t “influence potential jurors.”
IF ANYONE THINKS THAT THIS WILL ONLY EVER BE DONE TO TRUMP THEY ARE DELUSIONAL. TRYING TO GET TRUMP WHILE THROWING JUSTICE OUT THE WINDOW IS ESTABLISHING UGLY PRECEDENT AFTER UGLY PRECEDENT. America’s notoriously corrupt political establishment cannot be trusted with this much leeway.
JOHN CARPENTER’S VAMPIRES (1998) – Halloween Month rolls along with this look at John Carpenter directing James Woods as Vatican-sanctioned vampire hunter Jack Crow. As always, James Woods is like a force of nature. When he’s on the screen he virtually blows away most of the people with whom he shares that screen.
KNOCKING OFF NUMBER ONE – In NCAA Division Two, the 4th ranked GRAND VALLEY STATE LAKERS welcomed the number 1 team in the nation – the FERRIS STATE BULLDOGS. The Lakers were on top 35-21 by Halftime, then the Bulldogs made it a 35-28 game to end the 3rd Quarter. In the 4th, Grand Valley State pulled away for a 49-28 trumph.
DOWN GOES NUMBER FOUR – Down in NCAA Division Three, the number 7 UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN AT WHITEWATER WARHAWKS visited the country’s 4th ranked UW-RIVER FALLS FALCONS. A 6-0 1st Quarter lead for the Warhawks became 15-7 at the Half. After the break Whitewater held off the Falcons to win the game 21-14.
AND NUMBER SIX COMES TUMBLING AFTER – Back up in the NAIA, the FRIENDS UNIVERSITY FALCONS took the field against the visiting number 6 SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE MOUNDBUILDERS. The Falcons had the Moundbuilders faithful worried with a 12-0 Halftime advantage. Friends University pulled further and further away in the 2nd Half for a 35-20 Upset. 


ADVENTURE COMICS Vol 1 #431 (February 1974)
When situations demanding greater than human intervention arose, Jim could become the Spectre, his ghostly form in which he wielded vast powers that he used against earthly villains as well as supernatural menaces.
AUTOLYCUS (420s B.C.) – Balladeer’s Blog examines the ancient Greek comedy Autolycus. This play was written by Eupolis who, along with Aristophanes and Cratinus, constituted the Big Three of Attic Old Comedy. As with so many comedies of the time period Autolycus has survived only in fragmentary form, unfortunately. 
THE MAN WHO LAUGHS (1928) – I have no idea why Conrad Veidt doesn’t get the silent horror film love that Lon Chaney and Paul Wegener receive. In this final silent horror movie for Veidt, he shines once again in another landmark film. This one is based on the neglected Victor Hugo story about a figure who, like Hugo’s Quasimodo, has a monstrous disfigurement that causes him to be shunned and feared.
Dea falls in love with Gwynplaine’s poetic nature in fact, but when the grotesque smiler is discovered to be of noble descent the pair are separated by villainous figures involved in aristocratic court intrigues. Olga Baclanova co-starred as Duchess Josiana, the lead heavy in this forgotten Gothic horror classic.
RAFFERTY (1977) – Before House there was Rafferty! The great Patrick McGoohan, still praised for his multiple creative contributions to the 1967 series
