Time for another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog, here in an America where Democrat president Obama went into Libya and KILLED Muamar Gaddafi, following which his Democrat Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joked “We came, we saw, he died.” Yet now, Democrats are feigning outrage over President Trump taking Maduro ALIVE and joking about a “Don-roe Doctrine.”
VENEZUELANS CELEBRATE MADURO ARREST. VENEZUELAN EXPATRIATES CELEBRATE IN SAN ANTONIO, WHILE TRUMP-DERANGED DEMOCRATS PROTEST DESPITE THE FACT KAMALA AND BIDEN PLACED A BOUNTY ON MADURO.
OTHER DEMOCRATS, HOWEVER, ARE PREDICTABLY SIDING WITH MADURO. PRO-HAMAS DEMOCRATS INCLUDED. More HERE. Typical Democrat ankle-biting of Trump continues.
VENEZUELAN REPORTER GERMANIA RODRIGUEZ POLEO SMACKED DOWN DEMOCRATS AND OTHERS SIDING WITH MADURO. Among her remarks “Do not for a moment let your hatred and disdain for Donald Trump have you defending the dictator of my country, which was destroyed by [Maduro] and [Hugo] Chavez and their system 20 years ago. We Venezuelans are very, VERY happy that our dictator has been arrested, removed, and will be put through a trial. It’s the first time we’re seeing justice in 26 years!”

Here’s another blog post where I take a break from personally pointing out how the American Left’s unbearable pomposity and snobbery have driven away so many of us who used to consider ourselves part of it. This time my points are being made in a New York Times Op-Ed by Gerard Alexander, a professor of political science at the University of Virginia.
DOWN GOES NUMBER NINE – The MADONNA UNIVERSITY CRUSADERS welcomed the 9th ranked team in the nation – the INDIANA TECH WARRIORS (should be Hoplites). The Crusaders put Indiana Tech on Upset Alert by Halftime with their 52-42 advantage. From there, Madonna University kept their opponents at arm’s length for a 98-91 win. Ahmoni Weston led the Crusaders with THIRTY-TWO points.
CENTURY CLUB – Teams scoring 100 or more points in Regulation: The (1) GRACE COLLEGE LANCERS beat the MT. VERNON NAZARENE UNIVERSITY COUGARS 103-93 ### Meanwhile, the LINCOLN (CA) OAKLANDERS defeated the CAL MARITIME KEELHAULERS 102-96 ### And the (18) LIFE UNIVERSITY RUNNING EAGLES won 105-84 at the POINT UNIVERSITY SKYHAWKS.
THE WAR UNDER THE SEA (1892) – Written by Georges Le Faure. This sci-fi work was intended as an escapist societal salve to a French public still smarting from their loss to Germanic forces during the Franco-Prussian War just over two decades earlier.
WEREWOLF BY NIGHT Vol 1 #32 (Aug 1975)

1st – The ROSE BOWL GAME was broadcast on radio for the first time. This game pitted the undefeated UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE, then from the Southern Conference, against the undefeated UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON HUSKIES, then from the Pacific Coast Conference. The Huskies led 12-0 at Halftime, but the Crimson Tide came from behind to win the game 20-19 in what has been called “the football game that changed the South.”
RAIDERS OF THE SEVEN SEAS (1953) – John Payne plays the real-life 1500s pirate Barbarossa (Redbeard) in this fictional version of his exploits. While working as a corsair for the Sultans of the Middle East, the daring and accomplished seadog spends a little too much time with a Sultan’s harem and is sentenced to death.
Eventually, during a raid of Tortuga, our hero seizes the incumbent Spanish governor Alida – played by Donna Reed in uncharacteristic spitfire mode – and holds her for ransom. Barbarossa and his crew take on Spanish galleons and Alida’s treacherous betrothed Captain Salcedo (1950s smug jackass Gerald Mohr).
