This heavy news week ends with the latest current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.
MORE VOICES AROUND THE GLOBE CALL FOR PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TO BE AWARDED THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. But we all know they won’t give it to him because of TDS. *** BREAKING – WE CALLED IT! The award went elsewhere. The Donald is even being called “the peacemaker the world needed.” ISRAEL PULLS BACK TO CEASEFIRE POSITIONS AS TRUMP AGREEMENT TAKES EFFECT. But will the war criminals of Hamas honor their part? CROWDS IN GAZA CELEBRATE TRUMP PEACE DEAL.
BLACK CHICAGOANS WELCOME ICE AND NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS SENT TO RESTORE ORDER. Democrat mayors and governors fail to enforce laws and eventually the streets grow unsafe for the public.
DEMOCRAT REPRESENTATIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA ARRESTED ON RAPE CHARGE TO A THIRTEEN-TO-FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD.
EVEN DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET CNN REALIZES THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE TO BLAME FOR THE CURRENT SHUTDOWN. It’s “the Schumer Shutdown.”
ALABAMA TEACHER INDICTED FOR HAVING SEX WITH A STUDENT. Democrats, can you please leave youngsters alone? Continue reading
POSSESSION (1981) – Halloween Month continues here at Balladeer’s Blog with a review of the thoroughly bizarre cult film Possession, from Polish director Andrzej Zulawksi. Because I review everything from mild horror films to extreme works, I’m offering my usual COURTESY WARNING for readers who prefer less transgressive movies. 
I’m far from alone in praising Possession to the Heavens, so my take on it may seem like a mere rehashing for those who are already passionate fans. However, in my opinion only the full 2 hour and 4-minute version is worth watching, not the trimmed-down versions. 
And if anyone needs reminding, spying on members of Congress was also why Obama’s CIA filth John Brennan – The Man from S.C.U.M. – had to resign in disgrace. Two Democrats in a row used these ugly tactics from the White House. The more Biden Regime scandals are exposed, the more Democrats increase their violence as a distraction. 
Balladeer’s Blog takes another look at an ancient Greek comedy. Most of my previous examinations of these verse plays dealt with Attic Old Comedy or on what little is known about Susarion, a revered pioneer of stage comedy.
The chorus, so important to Attic Old Comedy, was not yet present on stage in Epicharmus’ time, but musical accompaniment was. Like so many other ancient Greek comedies, the plays of Epicharmus have survived only in very fragmentary form. 
Halloween Month rolls along with this look at a very old British series of telefilms that presented some classic horror tales during Christmas Season. The tales themselves were NOT set around Christmas, so they make for nice Halloween Season viewing, too. 
THE STALLS OF BARCHESTER (Dec 24th, 1971) – Dr. Black (Clive Swift), a scholar cataloguing the book collection at Barchester Cathedral, comes across the diary of a former Archdeacon who murdered his predecessor so he could rise to the position. The killer was then haunted by ghostly figures in the form of the carvings on the cathedral’s choir stalls. Also starring Robert Hardy, Thelma Barlow and Will Leighton. 
Like Balladeer’s Blog pointed out last year the increasingly unhinged Anti-Trump Right, the American Left and their Corporate Media allies have accomplished the seemingly impossible: they’ve turned Donald Trump into a sympathetic underdog.
