Here is the latest current events roundup from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog. As always, everyone is welcome here no matter who they vote for.
KEVIN O’LEARY EASILY DISMANTLES THE LUDICROUS NEW YORK CASE AGAINST TRUMP. More HERE. Political lawfare at its lowest levels in Joe Biden’s Banana Republic.
TRUMP HAD PUT THE HOUTHIS ON THE TERRORIST ORGANIZATION LIST. BIDEN TOOK THEM OFF, UNLEASHING ALL THE RECENT BLOODSHED. Biden now admits they are terrorists, after all. That doesn’t help the dead, though.
JOHN HAYWARD DEMONSTRATES HOW THE DEMOCRATS HAVE REALLY DONE – AND ARE STILL DOING – ALL THE THINGS THEY CLAIM IT WOULD BE WRONG FOR TRUMP TO DO. If you read only one item today, this should be it.
ANTI-TRUMP HYSTERIA IN OVERDRIVE: DEMOCRATS OPENLY DISCUSSING THEIR STRATEGY AGAINST HIM – INCLUDING USING THE MILITARY AGAINST HIM – IN THE EVENT OF ANOTHER VICTORY FOR HIM. More HERE. It’s no “conspiracy theory,” they are openly planning far worse against him than anything they’ve accused him of. And we lack an effective opposition party to do anything about it.
So, they’re already preparing their new version of “Russian Collusion” nonsense to interfere with a Trump administration, this time by frantically claiming it’s legal and constitutional to refuse any cooperation to a winning candidate they don’t like. And remember the Time article bragging about anti-Trump fascists tampering with the 2020 election as if it was something good? CLICK HERE.
SENATOR MIKE LEE ENDORSES TRUMP.
PENNSYLVANIANS TAUNT BIDEN BY SHOUTING “GO HOME, LOSER!” More HERE.
DOUG BURGUM JOINS THOSE ENDORSING TRUMP.
LATEST ITEM ABOUT BALLOT FRAUD FROM THE 2020 ELECTION. The 2020 presidential election was as corrupt as those in 1876 and the year 2000. Rutherford B. Hayes, George W. Bush and Joe Biden were “selected, not elected.”
IN ILLINOIS THE DEMOCRATS ARE CALLED OUT FOR HAVING DESTROYED RECORDS FROM THE 2020 ELECTION BEFORE THE LAW ALLOWS. Have I mentioned that the 2020 election is as forever tainted as those from 1876 and 2000? I thought so.
MSNBC’s ANTI-TRUMP LOONS MELT DOWN OVER HIS RECORD-SETTING WIN. More HERE. Pathetic little people. They censored his victory speech when he mentioned Biden’s border disaster HERE.
HILARIOUS! THE DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET THE A.P. FORCED TO ADMIT THAT TRUMP DID BETTER AMONG WOMEN THAN MEN IN IOWA’S CAUCUS YESTERDAY. Continue reading
THE KNIGHTS OF THE SKY aka The Knights of Heaven aka The Aeronauts. This 1967-1970 French series is the Forgotten Television subject this time around. The series ran for 39 episodes – 3 seasons of 13 episodes each. Episodes filled a half-hour timeslot with commercials. 
The dynamic of their relationship is that Tanguy is the serious man of action and a Casanova with women, while Laverdure, though capable in a fight and as a pilot, is the comical partner whose antics are often undignified. I like to think of Christian Marin as the French Peter Davison, so think of his character Ernest Laverdure as Davison’s hapless Tristan on All Creatures Great and Small. 
CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY LEO TERRELL ON WHY HE “STOPPED DRINKING THE DEMOCRAT KOOL-AID.” – Terrell “joined the chorus of voices coming from African Americans disgusted with the Democrats and their hypocrisy on racial issues.” … “Terrell, like so many others, has pointed out how de facto Third Party President Donald Trump has been better for African-Americans than any Democrat in decades, especially Joe Biden, noted for his draconian legal positions against African-Americans. 
“Joe Biden gave us the crime bill in 1994,” Terrell continued, “President Trump gave us the First Step.” CLICK 
THE BLACK LIVES MERCILESSLY DESTROYED BY THE DEMOCRATS’ ANTIFA RIOTS IN 2020 – Remember the nauseating slogan of the rioters was “Every city, every town, burn the precinct to the ground.” and “Defund the police.” … “Privileged white Democrats have proven that their sympathies will ALWAYS lie with rioters and never with their victims. It’s the callous worldview of uncomprehending fools who romanticize looting and violence because they are always safely removed from the consequences.” CLICK 
NUMBER ONE ROLLS – The nation’s top-ranked NEWPORT NEWS APPRENTICE SCHOOL BUILDERS (Shipbuilders) took on the CENTRAL INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE CARDINALS. By Halftime the Builders were on top 55-30 and lost no momentum after the break. 
DOWN GOES NUMBER TWO – The BERKELEY (NY) COLLEGE KNIGHTS played host to the number 2 team in the nation – the BRYANT & STRATTON COLLEGE AT BUFFALO BOBCATS. The storied Knights held a 33-26 advantage at the Half. 
TALES OF SUSPENSE Vol 1 #97 (January 1968) 
Jasper Sitwell, S.H.I.E.L.D. liaison to Stark Industries, tries to revive the fallen hero while a crowd gathers. Iron Man (believed back then to simply be “Tony Stark’s high-tech bodyguard”) has a sleazy cousin named Morgan Stark. Morgan ran up a huge gambling debt with the Maggia (Marvel Comics’ version of the Mafia) and, to save himself from harm at the hands of their thugs, betrays Iron Man into their clutches by transporting the nearly motionless hero to where he told Sitwell that Tony Stark was waiting to repair the armor. 
Here is the latest current events roundup from 
THE ELUSIVE AVENGERS (1967) – This movie is often classified as part of the subgenre called “Easterns/ Osterns” – counterparts of Westerns. As an example of global cinema, The Elusive Avengers is worth a watch maybe once in a lifetime, but the cringe factor is heavy as it romanticizes four young guerilla fighters during the Russian Civil War. 
Judged purely on its production values and competent direction, The Elusive Avengers fascinates as much as it repels. In a world where a piece of garbage like deranged war criminal Vlad Putin runs Russia it can make a film like this a challenge to sit through without the real world intruding on one’s thoughts, but again, for anyone interested in world cinema history the movie is a revelation. 
For several years now I’ve meant to make a blog post recommending the YT Channel of Decker Shado, the often-hilarious figure who calls himself “The internet personality with the best hair.” He focuses mostly on genre films – new and old – and offers a lot of fresh insights on anything from schlock to blockbusters. 
THE FLASHING BLADE (1967) – This 13-episode French adventure series was later dubbed – a bit clumsily – into English. Each English-dubbed episode was in color and filled a half-hour time slot with commercials. The French title was actually The Tempestuous Knight or The Stormy Knight but was changed to The Flashing Blade for the English dubs. The original French airings were in four 75-minute episodes.
FRANCOIS, THE CHEVALIER DE RECCI (Robert Etcheverry) – The hero of the story. He and his sidekick Guillot (Jacques Balutin) reach the Fort of Casale, which is under siege by the Spanish forces in the alps near Savoy and Monferrato. (Some reviews of the show say the castle is on the border between France and Spain, but I believe that mistake comes from the reviewers casually noting that the war is between French and Spanish forces and just assuming that meant the war was being fought along their national borders.) 
The castle garrison’s French commander, Thoiras (Gilles Pelletier), is a mopey, less than inspirational leader and our fiery hero Francois clashes with him over his lethargy and lack of initiative. Soon, de Recci disobeys a direct order from Thoiras by raiding the Spanish forces for supplies. 
TRUMP MAGAZINE, shown at left, was a 1957 publication that had absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump. I posted it here because it’s fun when hysterical, irrational, uninformed, and emotionally unstable Trump-haters fall to pieces.
