Here’s another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.
*** NEW – FREQUENT DEMOCRAT TARGET CHARLIE KIRK SHOT AT SPEAKING EVENT IN A UTAH UNIVERSITY. As is my usual policy on such an incident I will comment on this after the initial fog of confusion clears up in a few days.
BIDEN REGIME EXPOSED FOR DISTORTING JOB FIGURES DURING THEIR TERM – IT TURNS OUT THE REGIME CREATED NINE HUNDRED ELEVEN THOUSAND FEWER JOBS THAN THEY TOOK CREDIT FOR. More HERE. Is anyone surprised? Related item HERE.
FORMER HAMAS HOSTAGE CREDITS PRESIDENT TRUMP WITH SAVING HIS LIFE.
FURTHER PROOF THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FAILED IN ITS PURPOSE: TWELFTH GRADE READING AND MATH SCORES HIT TWENTY YEAR LOW. Administrative bloat and hiring activists instead of teachers let down all the students.
MORE DEMOCRATS EXPOSED AS HAVING ACTUALLY VISITED EPSTEIN’S ISLAND. Not just allegedly sending a birthday card back in 2003.
DEMOCRAT COMPLICITY IN THE IRYNA ZARUTSKA MURDER. They also tried to censor the part of the tape where the killer says “I got that white girl.” NEW YORK TIMES SAYS ONLY “THE RIGHT” IS UPSET ABOUT THE MURDER.
WHOLESALE INFLATION DROPPED IN AUGUST, DESPITE ANTI-TRUMPER PREDICTIONS THAT IT WOULD GO UP. The greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime.
MICHIGAN JUDGE CORRECTLY DISMISSES THE CHARGES AGAINST FIFTEEN PEOPLE FOR THE PERFECTLY LEGAL ACT OF SELECTING ALTERNATE ELECTORS YEARS AGO. More HERE. Imbecilic anti-Trumpers apparently don’t understand that separate slates of electors happen all the time. It doesn’t change which slate will be sent to certify the election results.

Previously, Balladeer’s Blog reviewed various examples of Bruceploitation Movies, that odd subgenre full of martial arts spectacles exploiting and otherwise trying to cash in on the explosion of popularity in kung-fu films that the real Bruce Lee brought to the west. 
BRUCE, KUNG FU GIRLS (1977) – Also released as Bruce’s Angels, Bruce Lee’s Kung Fu Girls and several other titles, but I have a soft spot for this more inane title selection. I really hope that movies titled Bruce, Gone with the Wind; Bruce, Whose Life is it Anyway? and Bruce, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues also exist. But as we’ve established, I’m kind of weird. 
THE BARON (1966-1967) – This ITC/ABC venture starred rugged he-man Steve Forrest as wealthy Texan John Mannering, who works for British Intelligence under the codename the Baron. Mannering’s assistant was Cordelia Winfield, played by the British actress Sue Lloyd. 
Mannering’s cover in London was an antique dealer and jet-set playboy. He drove around in a Jensen C-V8 that had the personalized license plate BAR 1. The Baron was originally a character from novels but John Mannering bore little resemblance to his printed page counterpart.
By 411 BC the Peloponnesian War between Athens (and its allied city-states) and Sparta (and its allied city-states) had been raging for roughly 20 years. The war provides the backdrop for many of Aristophanes’ surviving comedies and is especially relevant where Lysistrata is concerned. Weary of the long, drawn-out conflict the women of Athens, led by the title character Lysistrata (supposedly based on Lysimache, the Priestess of Athena in Athens at the time), join forces with the women of Sparta and decide to withhold sex from the men until they agree to bring an end to the war. 
NUMBER TEN TAKES A FALL – In NCAA Division Three the 23rd ranked GROVE CITY COLLEGE WOLVERINES were on the road against the number 10 team in the nation – the CORTLAND STATE RED DRAGONS. The Red Dragons led 7-0 in the opening Quarter but Grove City tied things up 14-14 at the Half. The Wolverines shut them out from there to win the game 31-14.
HILLSDALE ON THE ROAD – The storied HILLSDALE COLLEGE CHARGERS traveled to face the MCKENDREE UNIVERSITY BEARCATS. A scoreless 1st Quarter was followed by a 14-0 Chargers lead at Halftime. In the 3rd Quarter the Bearcats made it a 14-14 tie, then went up 17-14 in the 4th. Hillsdale then came from behind for a 22-17 victory. 
So, with Buford Pusser being exposed very recently and the Warrens being exposed long ago, yet movies still being made that depict the latter two figures in a positive light, watching any of the many movies about all of them seems in bad taste now.

NAIA OVER THE NCAA – The only NAIA game last night was this one between the VALLEY CITY STATE VIKINGS and the visiting AUGSBURG UNIVERSITY AUGGIES from NCAA Division Three. This clash was over almost before it began as the Vikings seized a 19-0 lead in the 1st Quarter on their way to a 27-0 shutout of the Auggies. 
BATTLE OF RANKED TEAMS – The number 18 team in the nation – the CALIFORNIA (PA) UNIVERSITY VULCANS – welcomed the 21st ranked UNIVERSITY OF CHARLESTON GOLDEN EAGLES. A 10-7 opening Quarter advantage for the Vulcans became a 20-13 lead by Halftime. The Golden Eagles outscored Cal (PA) 6-3 from there, but the Vulcans won this 23-19 thriller.
ALL NAME GAMES – The HENDERSON STATE REDDIES trounced the SOUTHERN NAZARENE UNIVERSITY CRIMSON STORM 48-13 ### Meanwhile, the UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS AT MONTICELLO BOLL WEEVILS won 32-10 at the SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA STATE SAVAGE STORM ### And the SOUTHERN ARKANSAS UNIVERSITY MULERIDERS dismembered the OKLAHOMA BAPTIST UNIVERSITY BISON 49-14.
