I’ll be making my Bloom’s Day post later today. Right now it’s another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.
THE DEMOCRAT “NO KINGS” MURDERER ON THE LOOSE AFTER THEIR POLITICAL KILLINGS HAS BEEN APPREHENDED. WAS AN APPOINTEE OF MINNESOTA’S DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR TIM WALZ. The suspect allegedly killed their victims for being Democrats who voted with Republicans in the state legislature last week. Killer’s manifesto found.
EX-ILLINOIS HOUSE SPEAKER, DEMOCRAT MICHAEL MADIGAN, SENTENCED TO SEVEN AND A HALF YEARS IN PRISON ON CORRUPTION CHARGES. Have I mentioned lately that 21st Century Democrats are a combination of the Mafia and Nazis?
TIK TOKER REVEALS THAT PRO-VIOLENCE FORCES HAVE BEEN PAYING INFLUENCERS TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS A DAY TO POST IN SUPPORT OF THE RIOTS. No surprise. Democrats are known for astroturf, not grass-roots movements.
UNLIKELY SOURCE LAYS BARE THE LIES ABOUT THE ONGOING SITUATION IN CALIFORNIA.
STEPHEN KING, LOOKING NOTHING AT ALL LIKE A CREEP WHO HANGS AROUND PLAYGROUNDS, SAYS HE WANTS WOMEN IN CHARGE OF NUCLEAR NATIONS. As I’ve done in the past when imbeciles like King say this sort of thing, I will point out that WHAT STEPHEN KING REALLY MEANS IS THAT HE WANTS ONLY WOMEN WHO AGREE WITH HIS POLITICAL OPINIONS TO RUN NUCLEAR NATIONS. Does anyone really think the sexist King wants Kristi Noem, Tulsi Gabbard, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Pam Bondi, Lauren Boebert, etc? Continue reading
FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH (1907) – Written by Thomas William Lawson, a writer and stock manipulator who made a fortune from shady stock deals … in between advocating for cleaning up Wall Street to shut down those fleece jobs. The reforms Lawson campaigned for were taken up decades later when Franklin Roosevelt appointed future Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas to head the Securities Exchange Commission. 
Jim Randolph, one of the novel’s main characters, is in the T.R. mold: he may be a bloated rich pig but at least he’s a bloated rich pig with a sense of noblesse oblige. Jim shares Teddy Roosevelt’s disdain for the Trusts and for con men who use the stock market to rip off their clients. 
THE DOLLY MADISON MURDERS (2023) – In September of 2002 24-year-old Mandi Alexander and 79-year-old Mary Drake were found murdered in the Dolly Madison Bakery in Great Bend, KS. Compared to many other unsolved crimes around the world this case has gotten comparatively little attention. 
“See how he apes his father” was a saying long associated with contemporary enemies of John Quincy Adams as a complaint about how the younger Adams was as stubborn and single-minded as his father John Adams. He pursued his own ends regardless of political consequences. 
THE CORSICAN BROTHERS (1941) – Another of the many adaptations of the Alexandre Dumas novel that have very little to do with the original storyline. In this case the tale was transformed into an action-packed sword-fighting, gun blazing, hell-for-leather chase vehicle for Doug Jr. 
Each grows into a man of action, Lucien as a bandit chief and Mario as a dueling, gambling ladies’ man. When they are reunited they set out to bring down the man who massacred their family – Baron Colonna (Akim Tamiroff), now the tyrannical ruler of Corsica.
