The latest current events roundup from Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy. Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog presents this and remember, as always, everyone is welcome here no matter who they vote for.
SEVENTH U.S. EMBASSY EVACUATED UNDER JOE BIDEN’S DISASTROUS REGIME.
AND YET ANOTHER INVESTIGATION OPENED – THIS TIME ABOUT THE POLITICIZED DOJ/ FBI TARGETING CONGRESSIONAL STAFF ACTING AS OVERSIGHT ON THE NOTORIOUSLY CORRUPT FBI/ DOJ. More HERE.
MORE REPORTING ABOUT THE POLITICIZED DOJ/ FBI WORKING TO SUPPRESS INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY. Covered up and/or ignored word from at least 40 sources indicating criminal behavior by them. HERE.

An arrested drunk? Nope, it’s the alleged judge.
NEW YORK’S ABSURDLY BIASED COURT RUN BY PARTISAN HACKS LIKE THE GROTESQUE ARTHUR ENGORON USES THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL GAG ORDER AGAINST OPPOSITION LEADER TRUMP AS AN EXCUSE TO KEEP DRAGGING HIM IN ON GROUNDS THAT HE ALLEGEDLY VIOLATED IT. More HERE. And HERE. As further election interference, Engeron threatens jail time, too, as predicted, further martyring Trump.
AMERICA’S LECH WALESA/ NELSON MANDELA DONALD TRUMP STILL SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER. Trump’s political enemies are making targeted prosecutions a feature in America’s already corrupt Banana Republic of a system.
BRILLIANT PIECE ON THE UGLY, UNUSUAL GAG ORDER IMPOSED ON AMERICA’S OPPOSITION LEADER AND HOW SUCH “LAWFARE” IS THE REAL THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. It is beyond foolish to pretend that such action will only ever be used against Trump. If unopposed on this, the white-collar criminals called the Democrat and Republican Parties will keep using such tactics to further their own corruption and eliminate dissent.
ANOTHER PIECE ON THE AFFRONT TO JUSTICE REPRESENTED BY THE POLITICAL PERSECUTION OF THE COUNTRY’S OPPOSITION LEADER. Continue reading
Halloween Month rolls along here at Balladeer’s Blog with a look at two notoriously bad horror movies which use Andy Warhol’s name despite him not really having anything to do with them and credit Antonio Margheriti as the director even though Paul Morrissey wrote and directed them.
ANDY WARHOL’S FRANKENSTEIN (1973) – Also known as Flesh for Frankenstein, this 3-D monstrosity and its sister film, Andy Warhol’s Dracula (aka Blood for Dracula) used to be among the most well-known “So Bad They’re Good” movies. Oddly, they fell pretty much off the radar long ago, but get rediscovered every so often and enjoy a brief surge in notoriety from successive generations of horror fans.
These two movies are also like 1970s time capsules, too. Recently relaxed standards for what could be shown on the big screen yielded a LOT of cheap films that were clearly made just to see how much gory violence and kinky titillation the creative teams could get away with.
Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein and Andy Warhol’s Dracula deserve my usual warnings to horror fans who really hate extreme violence and bizarre sex. Don’t go below the “Continue reading” line or you’ll probably regret it. These films are mild compared to
THE DEVIL OF THE MARSH (1893) – Written by H.B. Marriott Watson. Halloween Month continues with this review of a short horror piece about a unique female monster who inhabits the marsh. The story was first published in the 1893 collection Damnable Tales.

IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (1994) – Directed by John Carpenter and written by Michael De Luca, this movie was an unabashed valentine to H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King’s imitations of Lovecraft, and The King in Yellow by Robert W Chambers. The King in Yellow, of course, is the 1895 book
Soon, Trent is visited in his padded cell, where he has used a black crayon to cover his body and the padded walls with crucifixes for protection. His visitor is Dr Wrenn, played by David Warner, the panicked, crucifix-surrounded man from The Omen, now talking to the panicked, crucifix-surrounded Sam Neill in this film. (I admit that’s a sly touch in keeping with the style of the movie. It even has echoes of the victim in the 1970s film Equinox fixating on his protective crucifix.)
NCCAA OVER NCAA DIVISION TWO – This game pitted the NCCAA’s VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY OF LYNCHBURG DRAGONS against their hosts, D2’s LANE COLLEGE DRAGONS. VUL was chasing Lane College 28-21 at Halftime and 42-35 in the 3rd Quarter. The 4th saw VU-Lynchburg pull off a 45-42 come from behind Upset.
NJCAA OVER USCAA – In another Upset, NJCAA team the MONROE COLLEGE MUSTANGS welcomed the NEWPORT NEWS APPRENTICE SCHOOL BUILDERS (Shipbuilders) from the USCAA. A 14-14 tie at the Half became 21-21 to end the 3rd Quarter and ultimately a 28-21 triumph for the Mustangs.
DOWN GOES NUMBER FOUR – In NCAA Division Two action, the 21st ranked AUGUSTANA (SD) VIKINGS took on the visiting number 4 team in the nation – the MINNESOTA STATE MAVERICKS. After a scoreless opening Quarter, the Vikings led 7-3 at the midpoint and 14-3 in the 3rd Quarter. In the 4th, Augustana U. toppled the Mavericks 28-10. 




EERIE #57 (June 1974)
NOTE: Warren Publications are fondly remembered for their horror and sci-fi magazines like Creepy, Eerie, 1984 and Vampirella (at right). As magazines and not comic books, Warren’s output was not limited by the comics code and could therefore delve into adult themes and intense violence.
THE LIVING MUMMY (1910) – Written by Australian author Ambrose Pratt. Dr. Pinsent, a two-fisted young archeologist, is running an expedition in the sands of Egypt. The beautiful May Ottley and her father, an accomplished archeologist himself, ask Pinsent to lend them some of his workmen for a few days.
