Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog offers up another current events roundup.
DEMOCRATS RIOT IN LOS ANGELES IN VIOLENT ATTEMPTS TO INTERFERE WITH ICE ENFORCING IMMIGRATION LAWS. Democrat mob even besieges federal center HERE. More HERE. And HERE. I WILL ASK DEMOCRATS ONCE AGAIN – GIVEN HOW YOU CLAIM WE LIVE IN A DYSTOPIAN HELLSCAPE UNDER TRUMP, ARE THERE ANY SUFFERING U.S. CITIZENS YOU WOULD CHAMPION INSTEAD OF ONLY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO HAVE COMMITTED ADDITIONAL CRIMES?
DEMOCRATS CALLED OUT AGAIN AS “THE PARTY THAT EMBRACES VIOLENCE.”
AS USUAL, THE DEMOCRATS GET VIOLENT IN LOS ANGELES AND NEW YORK, WHERE THEY KNOW THEY’LL GET SOFT TREATMENT FROM THE DEMOCRAT AUTHORITIES. The usual gutlessness from the Party. San Francisco, Boston, San Antonio, Seattle and Portland are probably up next.

DEMOCRAT PARTY
DEMOCRATS UNWILLING TO SIDE WITH THE U.S. EVEN IN THE CHINESE NATIONALS SMUGGLING IN BIOWARFARE AGENTS CASE. But if their actions had endangered Hamas you’d certainly hear Democrats speak out.
ARIZONA’S DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR KATIE HOBBS VETOES A BILL BLOCKING ENTITIES CONNECTED WITH CHINA’S COMMUNIST PARTY FROM BUYING FARMLAND, LAND NEAR AMERICAN FARMS, MILITARY BASES, ETC. The bill was introduced long ago to deal with growing concerns about such purchases, even before the recent biowarfare incident.
PRESIDENT TRUMP VOWS YET AGAIN TO PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID. He’s the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime. He’s been the new FDR going back to his first term.
UNSTABLE ELON MUSK ALREADY BACKING OFF HIS WILD ATTACKS ON PRESIDENT TRUMP. The bizarre incidents seem to have been triggered by Musk not getting his way on policies that would have favored his personal business interests. Elon has blown his credibility with his unhinged threats and tantrums. More HERE. And HERE. And HERE. Continue reading
CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS Vol 1 #1 (June 1982)
They both agree that since Earth has the greatest concentration of superbeings it will be the site of their mysterious contest. The two villains abduct every single superhero in Marvel Comics at the time, plus several new ones from around the world who were just introduced in this story.
As we all observe the June 6th anniversary of the 1944 Allied landing at Normandy during World War II, Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at the events from other June 6ths in history.
1782 – In the Ohio Country, American Rebel Colonel William Crawford’s 500 men were defeated in the wilderness by 750 British, Shawnee, Ojibwe and Potawatomi troops as the Revolutionary War continued despite Cornwallis’ surrender the previous October.
“See how he apes his father” was a saying long associated with contemporary enemies of John Quincy Adams as a complaint about how the younger Adams was as stubborn and single-minded as his father John Adams. He pursued his own ends regardless of political consequences.
THE CORSICAN BROTHERS (1941) – Another of the many adaptations of the Alexandre Dumas novel that have very little to do with the original storyline. In this case the tale was transformed into an action-packed sword-fighting, gun blazing, hell-for-leather chase vehicle for Doug Jr.
Each grows into a man of action, Lucien as a bandit chief and Mario as a dueling, gambling ladies’ man. When they are reunited they set out to bring down the man who massacred their family – Baron Colonna (Akim Tamiroff), now the tyrannical ruler of Corsica.
NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics)
POLEIS – In this post I’m looking at Poleis (Cities), written by Eupolis, one of the Big Three of Ancient Greek Comedy along with Aristophanes and Cratinus. This satirical comedy is dated from approximately 422 B.C. to 419 B.C. Like so many other such comedies it has survived only in fragmentary form. 



A BATTLE BETWEEN AIRSHIPS – Word reaches our Air Pirate Kapitan Mors about French efforts to duplicate his Luftschiff in anticipation of the global conflict that many fear is inevitable. Still considering himself outside international law, Mors determines to nip in the bud any challenge to his aircraft.
THE WITNESS (1960-1961) – This David Susskind production offered a nice change of pace in a crime drama. It wasn’t a standard police story nor was it a courtroom drama. Instead, it featured a revolving committee of real-life lawyers cross-examining actors (Telly Savalas most frequently) who portrayed real-life criminals, their victims and their accomplices.
