ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS: MAY TWENTY-FIRST

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog serves up another current events roundup.

WE STILL DON’T KNOW WHO WAS UNCONSTITUTIONALLY MAKING DECISIONS WHILE BIDEN WAS USED AS A FIGUREHEAD. There’s a constitutional procedure for presidential disability – Vice President Kamala Harris was next in line. The Democrat coverup was the REAL “threat to democracy”.

JOHN DEREK: HIS SWASHBUCKLER FILMS

Today, actor and director John Derek is remembered mostly because of his wives – Bo Derek, Ursula Andress, Linda Evans and Pati Behrs.

Some film fans remember him for his supporting roles in The Ten Commandments, All the King’s Men, Exodus and Knock on Any Door.

Surprisingly, most people have forgotten that Derek starred in a long list of B-movies, from westerns to war films as well as – for this blog post – a string of swashbuckler movies.

ROGUES OF SHERWOOD FOREST (1950) – John starred as Robin, Earl of Huntington, the son of Robin Hood. When Richard the Lionheart passes away in 1199 A.D. King John (George Macready) returns to his old ways of oppressing and heavily taxing the citizens. He also imports an army of foreign mercenaries faithful only to him, not England.

The villainous king even tries to have Robin, the son of his old enemy, slain during a rigged jousting match. Our hero survives but soon takes to Sherwood Forest to gather many of his father’s former Merry Men around him to rob from the rich and give to the poor. Alan Hale played Little John for the third time in his career, the first in 1922 in the Douglas Fairbanks Robin Hood and again in 1938 in Errol Flynn’s The Adventures of Robin Hood Continue reading

THE GREAT GARLOO: VINTAGE TOY FROM 1961

The Great Garloo was a two-feet tall remote controlled “monster” toy from Marx. Garloo could be controlled to walk, bend down and pick up things. For adults, boring, but for kids, it must have been the best gift they got that year.

A Son of Garloo followed later. It was smaller and was a wind-up toy. Marx should have cemented Garloo in the public’s consciousness by licensing a kaiju movie or two featuring the figure. The Great Garloo could have stood alongside Godzilla and Gamera.

Below is a vintage television commercial for the Great Garloo. Continue reading

MAY NINETEENTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.

COURAGEOUS LINDY LI AGAIN SPEAKS OUT ON THE TRAVESTY OF UNFIT AND ILLEGIT JOE BIDEN’S SHAM PRESIDENCY. And if Democrats had their way, Biden would have still been in the White House and they would STILL be lying that Biden is “sharp as a tack.”   Ignore the media sideshows about irrelevancies, THIS should be dominating the headlines and would be if the clueless Republicans knew how to use their media outlets as well as Democrats do.

AMID HUR TAPES REVELATIONS THAT BIDEN WAS TOO UNFIT TO HAVE UNDERSTOOD ANY OF “HIS” LAST-MINUTE PARDONS, CALLS EMERGE TO INVALIDATE THOSE PARDONS. More HERE.

DEMOCRAT OUTLET CNN’S VAN JONES PREDICTS DEMOCRATS WILL PAY FOR COVERING UP JOE BIDEN’S UNFITNESS “FOR A LONG TIME.”  

BIDEN SUBORDINATE LITERALLY SCREAMED AT MEDIA OUTLET NOT TO GO WITH A TRUE STORY REGARDING JOE BIDEN’S UNFITNESS. Again, THIS needs urgent coverage. If not for Donald Trump, the thing called Joe Biden would still be getting paraded out as if he was “president” and the coverup would STILL be going on.

MOODY’S DOWNGRADED THE U.S. UNDER JOE BIDEN AND BARACK OBAMA, TOO. More HERE. But the corporate media only cares if it happens under a certain president who’s only been back in office for four months.

DEMOCRAT JAMES CLYBURN STATES HE STILL BELIEVES JOE BIDEN COULD HAVE SERVED ANOTHER FOUR YEARS. Unreal. Continue reading

DNI TULSI GABBARD HEROICALLY STRIKES ANOTHER BLOW AGAINST CIA CORRUPTION. But be careful, Tulsi. Remember what happened to JFK when he wanted to scatter the loathsome CIA to the winds. And see her defend privacy as essential to individual liberty HERE.

THE LATEST ON WISCONSIN’S DEMOCRAT JUDGE WHO HELPED A VIOLENT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TRY TO FLEE ICE.

CORRUPT AOC THREATENS A “PROBLEM” IF MORE DEMOCRATS GET ARRESTED. But gee, the Democrats were saying “No one is above the law” when they arrested Trump. What repulsive hypocrites.
