Here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog it’s time for another installment of “Has to be Said.”
*** LET’S CUT THROUGH THE POLITICAL THEATER – The European politicians talking tough about standing with Ukraine are just voguing for attention. We’ve all seen the wording in their agreements that none of them will take any action unless the U.S. is on board with it and pays for it.
The ONLY reason they’re making such a public display of their hollow theatrics is for petty ankle-biting at the United States, a country that HAS ALREADY PROVIDED FAR MORE SUPPORT TO UKRAINE THAN ANY OF THEM HAVE OR APPARENTLY WILL BE ABLE TO.
Yes, the United States has provided far more support to Ukraine in its war against Russia’s Biden-caused invasion (remember Joe’s statement that ” a small incursion” would be acceptable) yet countries and people who have done virtually nothing much beyond rah-rah-ing Ukraine act outraged if America expresses any say in how badly Little Man Zelensky handles situations. (Remember, even BIDEN lost patience with the grotesque little toad Zelensky and his ingratitude.)
*** ZELENSKY STILL CAN’T ACCOUNT FOR ABOUT HALF OF THE FUNDS SENT TO HIS CORRUPT REGIME. And he knows that any kind of cease fire while negotiations continue could provide time to investigate where all the lost money went. Into Zelensky’s pockets? Into the pockets of his lackeys as Ukrainians continue to die under his mismanagement of the war?
*** DEMOCRATS PRETEND TO BE ALL-IN FOR UKRAINE SIMPLY AS A MEANS OF ATTACKING PRESIDENT TRUMP. Democrats pretend the only way to support Ukraine is to mindlessly support the crooked failure Zelensky. Ukraine is NOT equivalent to one person. The pathetic, cosplaying little man Zelensky is a corrupt authoritarian.
Little Man Z has proven he cannot be trusted. If a new Ukrainian leader comes in, even if they support the same war policy as Zelensky they would at least be TRUSTWORTHY. Crooked Z is not.
*** ZELENSKY CHICKENHAWKS AND DEMOCRATS WHO SUPPORT ZELENSKY ALSO SUPPORT HAMAS. Obviously, peace and innocent lives are not at all a priority for such people. They encourage “fighting to the last dead Ukrainian.” Hey, whatever happened to that “if it saves even one life” talking point Democrats love to use? How about “If a cease fire between Russia and Ukraine saves even one life isn’t it worth trying?”
But we all know that Democrats never really mean it when they use that “if it saves even one life” remark. Although, given how the UK and US have been negotiating with Ukraine about rare earth minerals, the MINUTE that Democrats want to sell out Ukraine they will insist America withdraw support and use “No more blood for rare earth minerals” as one of their chants, I’m sure.

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME – The last teams standing in this tournament were the 2nd seeded UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE PENMEN and the 5 seeds – the PACE UNIVERSITY SETTERS (Irish Setters). The Setters were up 35-33 at the Half, but after the break the Penmen forced Overtime with a 64-64 tie. USNH edged Pace 72-71. Royce Williams led the Penmen with 21 points and teammate Paul Greene got a Double Double of 18 points & 13 rebounds. 
FIRST SEMIFINAL – The 4 seeds – the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA AT BEAUFORT SAND SHARKS – took the court against the top seeded COLUMBUS STATE COUGARS. The score was knotted up at 41-41 come Halftime, but from there the Sand Sharks managed enough separation for a 91-87 Upset win. Hudson Norton tossed in 18 points to lead USC-Beaufort. 
SPIDER-MAN Vol 1 #36 (May 1966) 
She makes a point of showing up at an astro-science exhibit that Peter is visiting and is exasperated once again as the fragments of meteorites and other displays capture Peter’s attention instead of her blonde hotness. (Save your own life and just walk away, Gwen!) 
A TRIP TO THE NORTH POLE or DISCOVERY OF THE TEN TRIBES AS FOUND IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN (1903) – Written by Otte Julius Swenson Lindelof.
STANISLAV SZUKALSKI (1893-1987) – Just as L. Ron Hubbard went from being a pulp story writer to founder of a nutzoid religion, Stanislav Szukalski went from being a celebrated, even brilliant, artist to founder of an equally irrational belief system. 
The topic of this blog post, however, is Zermatism, the insane philosophy that Szukalski founded in 1940. He named it after the city of Zermatt, where he was convinced that survivors of a pre-deluge civilization settled. 
FIRST SEMIFINAL – The HERKIMER COLLEGE GENERALS took the court against the GENESEE COLLEGE COUGARS. The Generals were on top 36-30 by Halftime, and from there they floored it. Herkimer College left the Cougars further and further behind as they won the game 86-65. Kenny Freeman and Jayson McGhee led the Generals with 20 points each, while teammate Oladele Oladitan logged a Double Double of 19 points & 10 rebounds. 
AMY PRENTISS – Long before she was known as Archer’s mother, the talented Jessica Walter had churned out powerful performances of all kinds in movies and television. Jessica’s short-lived run as the sleuth Amy Prentiss is a reminder that a program can be a bit too far ahead of its time to thrive.
