Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog presents another current events roundup from an America where unhinged anti-Trumpers are pretending that he should have been able to fix everything that Joe Biden destroyed in just a few months. Hilarious!
HUD SECRETARY SCOTT TURNER PRAISES PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FIRST HUNDRED DAYS FOR THE WAY HE UNDID BIDEN’S POLICIES THAT “CRIPPLED OUR NATION.” He also pointed out how under his leadership HUD will return to its mission “to serve the most vulnerable population of our country, as it pertains to housing affordability, as it pertains to homelessness, disaster recovery, streamlining processes, and being efficient and effective.” (NOTE: Under Biden homelessness increased eighteen percent.)
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN NORTH CAROLINA CHARGED IN HOME INVASION AND KIDNAPPING OF A WOMAN AND HER ELEVEN-MONTH-OLD DAUGHTER. Are Democrats accomplices to this crime?
U.S. ADDED 177,000 NEW JOBS IN APRIL, HIGHER THAN PREDICTED.
STATE DEPARTMENT REVEALS THE BIDEN REGIME’S FILES TARGETING AMERICAN CRITICS OF THAT REGIME. Was any department NOT weaponized by Biden? This is at least as bad as the J. Edgar Hoover files that Democrats spent decades hyperventilating about. As usual, they feel when The Party does it, it’s okay.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN TEXAS CHARGED WITH MURDERING A MAN IN FRONT OF HIS FAMILY. Are Democrats accomplices to this crime?
KASH PATEL’S FBI ARRESTS TWO ON CHARGES OF OPERATING AN INTERNATIONAL CHILD TRAFFICKING ENTERPRISE. Democrats hardest hit, since they like to pretend that child trafficking doesn’t happen.
ROBERT F. KENNEDY CALLS OUT JOE BIDEN’S HHS OVER HOW IT BECAME A “COLLABORATOR IN CHILD TRAFFICKING.”
SITE FOR TRACKING ALL THE INVESTMENTS AND MANUFACTURING PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BRINGING TO THE U.S.
FACULTY LOUNGE FASCIST: DEMOCRAT TEACHER CALLS FOR THE SECRET SERVICE TO KILL PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS. Among her hate-filled remarks “The Secret Service has the perfect opportunity, if they choose to step up and take it. You are the ones with power. Coordinate. Take out every single person who supports Trump’s illegal, immoral, unconstitutional acts.”
BODY-CAM FOOTAGE OF DEMOCRAT IDOL KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA DURING PULLOVER INVESTIGATING HUMAN TRAFFICKING. Democrats, aren’t there any suffering American citizens that you can find who deserve becoming a Cause Celebre instead of this illegal immigrant gangster?
STEPHEN MILLER BLASTS THE PRIVILEGED ONE-PERCENTERS FROM DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLETS WHO SHILL FOR MS-13 AND TREN DE ARAGUA. Continue reading
Alice Guy-Blache (1873-1968) was a French film pioneer and was also the first woman to direct movies. Alice worked for the Gaumont Film Company and from 1896 to 1906 was Gaumont’s Head of Production. 
PIERRETTE’S ESCAPADES (1900) – A woman changes from a pink dress to a green dancing outfit. She proceeds to dance alone and soon finds the stock clown character Pierrot dancing with her. The clown tries kissing her but is rebuffed. Next, the stock character Harlequin dances with her, impresses her and the two share a kiss as the 2-minute production comes to a close. Some frames were hand-tinted. 
ESMERALDA (1905) – The oldest known movie version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Alice had been shepherding Gaumont’s movies away from mere visual spectacle and on to narrative filmmaking. 
SCREAMBOOK (1984) – Ever see a feature length horror film written, produced and directed by a 13-year-old? And with nearly all the roles – of all ages – played by fellow teenagers? Obviously, I’ll be grading this flick on a curve in this review. 
Another current events roundup from 
CAPTAIN MORS IMPRISONED – Far above the ocean, Kapitan Mors commands his Luftschiff (Air Ship) on its latest voyage along with its part European and part Indian crew. A carrier pigeon brings our masked hero a distress call from Miss Else Martens. She is in the clutches of a tinpot dictator who wants to force her into a marriage. 
BRACKEN’S WORLD (1969-1970) – This one-hour drama has the dubious distinction of being the series that replaced Star Trek on NBC’s Fall Schedule for the 1969 into 1970 season. The program was set at fictional Century Studios in Hollywood and presented dramas about life in the film industry. Dorothy Kingsley created and produced the show and wrote several episodes. 
The episodes were sometimes self-contained with assorted guest stars at the center of each week’s backstabbing and maneuvering, but most revolved around a regular cast portraying figures who worked at or were under contract to Century Studios. 
101. FADE IN – Brandoesque Tom Hudson tries to make his mark as an actor, Paulette Douglas is reluctant to do a nude scene in her first film, but her ambitious show-business mother (Jeanne Cooper) insists she do it. Producer Kevin Grant’s marriage is in trouble over his use of the casting couch. Tony Curtis, Omar Sharif and Raquel Welch make brief appearances as themselves to sell the supposed “star power” of Century Studios. 
THE STRUGGLE FOR EMPIRE: A STORY OF THE YEAR 2236 (1900) – Written by Robert W Cole. I left out the first half of the title for the headline, since The Struggle For Empire sounds like a mundane history book. In reality this novel was a very, very early example of the Space Opera sub-genre. 
Initially the Earth colonized and inhabited the planets and certain moons of our own solar system all the way out to Neptune. (Pluto was not discovered until 1930.) In a quaint quasi-Steam-Punk way, all of those planets and moons have Earth-like atmospheres and conditions. 
Cheri Currie of Runaways fame unleashed a broadside on the pathetic, hatemongering, fascistic and intolerant Democrat Party of 2025. She courageously embraced the MAGA label, too.
