It’s time for another current events roundup, courtesy of Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.
*** As usual with developing, complex situations, I will cover what is happening at the border between Mexican drug cartels and the U.S. Border Patrol in a few days when the inevitable information fog clears.
ORANGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT TREASURY OFFICIAL ARRESTED ON CHILD PORN CHARGES AND WITH TRYING TO MEET UP WITH A NINE-YEAR-OLD. Democrats, can you please leave children alone?
“INTELLIGENCE” (LMAO) OFFICER LISA YATES FORGETS TO REMOVE HER NAME FROM A POST SHE SENT OUT TO COLLEAGUES COACHING THEM ON HOW TO SABOTAGE PRESIDENT TRUMP “AND LEAVE NO TRACE”. Hey, Lisa, accidentally leaving your name on the post ruins that whole “leave no trace” aspect of your treasonous instructions. Deep State functionaries still hate President Trump and his efforts to reform America’s hopelessly corrupt intelligence agencies.
FOR DEMOCRATS WHO TRY MINIMIZING THE NATURE OF YATES’ ACTIONS, HERE’S A REMINDER THAT THE REASON THE CIVIL SERVICE REPLACED THE DEMOCRATS’ FORMER SPOILS SYSTEM WAS TO PREVENT NAKEDLY PARTISAN ACTIVITIES BY FEDERAL EMPLOYEES. In other words, it was meant to prevent the kinds of things that Deep State functionaries like this just admitted to doing.
AMONG CINDY CALLAND’S POINTS ABOUT HOW DAMAGING IS YATES’ TREACHERY: “Civil servants are supposed to be apolitical. Their job is to implement the policy of the executive. Due to their apolitical nature, they are shielded by the firing and hiring that occurs with political appointees for each new administration.”

To counter that here’s a letter written to Heaven by the child of a law enforcement officer killed by an illegal immigrant. It’s just as sad, Democrats. Do you immature drama queens STILL think that heart-breaking letters written by children should form the basis of a country’s immigration policy? Or have you decided to finally grow up?
“THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE” – The HOUGHTON UNIVERSITY HIGHLANDERS welcomed the KEUKA COLLEGE WOLVES. A frenzied opening Half ended with the Highlanders on top 48-41. During the 2nd Half the Wolves bit into that lead but fell short as Houghton University held on for an 84-81 victory. Jajuan Preaster and Christian Sage led the Highlanders with 17 points each.
DOUSING D.C. – The ROBERTS WESLEYAN COLLEGE REDHAWKS doused some cold water on their hosts the UNIVERSITY OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA FIREBIRDS. The Firebirds held a 37-34 edge at Halftime but the Redhawks mounted a comeback after the break. Roberts Wesleyan won 77-70. Malik Brooks led the Redhawks with 29 points.

Balladeer’s Blog’s love of quality horror ARGs (Alternate Reality Games) has been well established. In the past I’ve examined productions like Local 58, Claridryl and Jack Torrance (NOT the character from The Shining.)
The eerie storyline revolves around the disappearance of a beautiful young Polish woman named Ania Slowinska and the dark, seemingly supernatural forces behind it. As the tale unfolds it becomes apparent other women have fallen victim to the same forces, with one having had all her teeth removed after being murdered. 



20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA (1916) – The famous first cinematic adaptation of the Jules Verne classic. Having loved the version of this pioneering 1916 film that was available during the 1990s and earlier I had put off watching the restored and upgraded version released in 2010.
Personally, I would have preferred that Universal had just produced a shorter 20,000 Leagues film that was all Leagues and nothing but Leagues, then release The Mysterious Island later as a sequel. In 1916 audience expectations were not yet such that movies had to run the 86 to 105 minutes boasted by surviving copies of 20,000 Leagues.
Have I mentioned lately that anti-Trumpers are the most ignorant, uninformed and emotionally unstable people I have ever seen? They still haven’t learned to curb their brain-dead enthusiasm for reading “nazi salutes” and the like into waves from people associated with him.
At any rate, this blog post shows just a few of the photos online which featured Democrats Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren and many, many more of their ilk making that same arm gesture when waving to crowds.
Democrats, you are in no way fit to compare yourselves to heroic people who were often killed or tortured by REAL nazis, often being herded to their deaths with the laughter of their killers being the last thing they ever heard. NO Democrat today would have the courage to take any actual risk by opposing the world’s REAL forces of oppression in 2025.
