Time for a midweek current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.
NOVEMBER’S JOBS REPORT SHOWS PRESIDENT TRUMP’S POLICIES CONTINUE TO INCREASE JOBS AND DECREASE UNEMPLOYMENT. Have I ever mentioned that Trump is the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime?
TRUMP EFFECT: APARTMENT RENT PRICES DROP COMPARED TO LAST YEAR. Have I ever mentioned … oh, yeah, I have.
CHRISTMAS GAS PRICES LOOK TO DROP TO LOWEST LEVEL IN FIVE YEARS.
KASH PATEL’S FBI THWARTS PLANNED NEW YEAR’S EVE TERRORIST ATTACKS BY LEFTIST GROUPS. More HERE. And HERE.
LAST WEEK’S LIE ABOUT DHS SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM DISPROVEN.
ANOTHER CALL FOR TIM WALZ TO RESIGN OVER HIS EXPLODING SCANDALS. More HERE. This time over student loan fraud. Walz’s Minnesota apparently never met fraud it didn’t like. More HERE.
MAINE’S DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR MILLS PROVIDES MORE PROTECTION FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. “Illegal immigrants uber alles” is still The Party’s motto.
AND ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF DEMOCRATS PROVIDING TAX-PAYER FUNDED HEALTHCARE TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Continue reading
These are the legends about Charlemagne and his Paladins, not the actual history, so there will be dragons, monsters and magic. 
THE EMPEROR SURROUNDED – When we left Emperor Charlemagne, he and his army were surrounded on all sides by the forces of Islam which had invaded the land of the Franks from both Moorish Spain and from North Africa. NOTE: Not all Tales of Charlemagne involve clashes with Muslims, in fact most involve his Paladins fighting giants, dragons, sorcerers, etc. However, this one does happen to feature them in such a clash. 
My late mother was, unfortunately for me when I was a teenager, a country music fan so, strange as it may seem, I actually know who the singers in this flick are. This version of the Carol is set in fictional Flint City, Tennessee, a town dominated by the financial pull of banker Cyrus Flint, played by Hoyt Axton.
MINNIE’S BOYS (1970) – My review of the original production of this stage show about the hilarious comedy team the Marx Brothers. Click 
JOHN DEREK: HIS SWASHBUCKLER FILMS – The man who married Bo Derek, Ursula Andress, Linda Evans & Pati Behrs also starred in swashbuckler movies like Rogues of Sherwood Forest (1950), The Sword of Monte Cristo (1951), Prince of Pirates (1953) and The Adventures of Hajji Baba (1954). Click 
THE SILENT FILMS OF ALICE GUY-BLACHE – This pioneering woman was for a time the only female director in the industry. I reviewed her works from the 1890s to 1920, including comedies, dramas, westerns, black cast movies, love stories and horror movies like Esmeralda (1905) – the first known film adapting The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

FROM MAY 3rd, 2021 – Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog comes to you once again from an America divided by the Democrats’ hatred and racism. It’s no secret that in the United States the REAL division is not black people vs white people or gay people vs straight people or women vs men – it’s DEMOCRATS VS EVERYBODY ELSE. 
A REDNECK CHRISTMAS CAROL (1997) – Written by John Yow & T. Stacy Helton and illustrated by David Boyd this is a reasonably funny adaptation of A Christmas Carol. Think of the type of jokes that Jeff Foxworthy was telling back when this book came out and you’ll know what to expect. 
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME – The defending champs – the COLLEGE OF SAN MATEO BULLDOGS – battled the GOLDEN WEST COLLEGE RUSTLERS. A 7-0 opening Quarter edge for the Bulldogs became a 21-7 lead at the Half. 28-7 was the score to close the 3rd Quarter and a missed PAT ended a valiant Rustlers rally in the 4th as San Mateo held on to win 28-27.
FIRST SEMIFINAL – The KEISER UNIVERSITY SEAHAWKS took the field against the visiting COLLEGE OF IDAHO COYOTES. The Seahawks watched their 9-0 1st Quarter lead morph into a 21-9 College of Idaho advantage by Halftime. The 3rd Quarter ended with Keiser pulling to within 21-16 of the Coyotes and an explosive 4th ended in a 36-27 victory for the Seahawks. 
SPIDER-MAN Vol 1 #176 (Jan 1978) 
Peter becomes Spider-Man and gets to the apartment that Harry shares with Flash Thompson. He finds Flash unconscious on the floor and the Green Goblin ransacking Harry’s bedroom. Spider-Man attacks the villain, assuming it’s Harry in the costume, but in a few issues it will turn out to be Dr. Hamilton himself, who manipulated his patient Harry Osborn to find his late father Norman Osborn’s Green Goblin costume and weaponry. 
SCREAMBOOK (1984) – This low, low budget horror anthology film was written, produced and directed by THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD Joseph Zaso. 
WINK MARTINDALE, RIP: HE DID MORE THAN JUST GAME SHOWS – I reviewed some of Mr. Martindale’s other productions, like his role on the sci-fi series Mars Patrol (1953-1955), the Rock and Roll movie Let’s Rock (1958), the 26-minute short about life in the future titled 1999 A.D., and the PureFlix series Hilton Head Island.
