From Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy comes this item from INDEPENDENT VOTER SITE BALLADEER’S BLOG
ASSORTED OVERSEAS READERS HAVE REQUESTED CLARIFICATION OF THE NEW YORK CITY “FRAUD” NONSENSE. It doesn’t matter if you like or hate Donald Trump, you have got to be alarmed at the ongoing courtroom travesties that he is being subjected to.
Regarding the current NYC circus, it regards LOANS WHICH TRUMP ALREADY PAID BACK INCLUDING INTEREST, in which he submitted values placed on his properties by real estate professionals on the loan forms. ARTHUR ENGORON, A DEMOCRAT JUDGE HAS, WITHOUT DUE PROCESS, IMPOSED HIS OWN ESTIMATE ON THE VALUES AS AROUND 18 MILLION DOLLARS INSTEAD OF THE PROFESSIONALS’ ESTIMATE OF AROUND 300 MILLION DOLLARS.
An arrested drunk? Nope, it’s the alleged judge.
Then, the repulsive judge used the lower estimate – which has ALREADY been repudiated by actual real estate professionals – to claim that Trump “committed fraud” on the loan forms by going with the higher estimates PROVIDED TO HIM BY REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS.
AND I REPEAT – TRUMP ALREADY PAID BACK THE LOANS INCLUDING INTEREST! Any bank could have turned Trump down if it looked like a risky deal.
No bank was harmed, no shareholders or account holders either. And no bank lends money on collateral which they just sit back and allow the borrower to place the value on.
Obviously, this is another political prosecution that will probably get an initial guilty verdict from the clownish judge but get overturned on appeal. These prosecutions are being conducted to harm Trump’s campaign for 2024.
How many times do we have to go through this? America’s notoriously corrupt political parties have thrown false charge after false charge against Trump for years now, yet each time they conjure up another set of false charges the political establishment and the corporate media act like it HAS to be true this time, just to keep sending the warning that outsiders should stay out of the search for high office.
Rather than recycle the long list of outrageous claims against Trump let me just point out the most blatantly hypocritical one. Remember all the pressure on Trump to reveal years’ worth of tax returns? He did so and NOTHING BAD WAS FOUND! Yet, no other American politicians were called upon to similarly reveal their tax returns even though the overwhelming majority of people in Congress become literal millionaires during their time in office. Why target just one man? Again, because he’s an outsider and not a “made man” in the white-collar criminal fraternity of elected Democrats and Republicans. Continue reading
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925) – Lon Chaney Senior’s makeup and performance as the title character were envelope-pushing for 1925 audiences. To me this is the ULTIMATE silent horror film. It may sound odd, but in my opinion this movie is the very best cinematic adaptation of the Gaston Leroux novel. 
Balladeer’s Blog remains the only site on the web that equally criticizes both elected Democrats and elected Republicans, depending on which party has been committing greater offenses at the moment.
RIPLEY and the other humans in the Alien films are American VOTERS. As we struggle to survive in this dangerous setting we need to stand together against the common threats. And that applies whether a voter considers themselves Independent or Democrat or Republican. Political labels have become meaningless for US as the Neo-Feudalists view all of us as peasants and cannon fodder, anyway. 
Halloween Season is underway here at Balladeer’s Blog! This time around I have so many new readers that I’ll start out with this look at some VERY old horror stories that are basically Halloween versions of the Ancient Science Fiction reviews I write. 
CONCORDIA CONQUERS DIVISION TWO – The NAIA’s CONCORDIA (MI) UNIVERSITY CARDINALS traveled to face the upper-level WAYNE STATE WARRIORS from NCAA Division Two. The Cardinals joined so many other NAIA teams who toppled D2 teams this year in a 24-23 Instant Classic.
HILLSDALE AT HOME – NCAA Division Two’s storied HILLSDALE COLLEGE CHARGERS played host to the NORTHWOOD UNIVERSITY TIMBER WOLVES. The Chargers proved their determination to right this disappointing season, leading the Timber Wolves 17-7 at Halftime before winning it in a 40-18 blowout. 
DOWN GOES NUMBER TEN – Staying in D2 for a moment, the MISSOURI WESTERN STATE GRIFFONS welcomed the number 10 team in the nation – the EMPORIA STATE HORNETS. This was a tale of two Halves, as the Griffons led 24-6 by the midpoint, but then had to hold on by their fingertips to pull off the Upset 34-31. 
ALL STAR COMICS Vol 1 #58 (February 1976)
Synopsis: Dr. Fate, Flash, Hawkman, Robin, Wildcat, Green Lantern and Dr. Mid-Nite are joined by the Justice Society’s newest members – Power Girl, Earth-Two’s equivalent of Supergirl, and 
AGZCEAZIGULS – Pronounced “Agzceaziguls”, this was a fictional country between Chile and Bolivia. 
I repeat, this grotesque judge UNILATERALLY IMPOSED THIS JUDGMENT WITHOUT ANY TRIAL, JURY OR VERDICT. America’s cesspool of political corruption has stopped caring about even the pretense of legality. More 
NUMBER THIRTEEN (1922) – This film marked the first time that Hitchcock worked as a director on a movie, but was the thirteenth film project he had worked on in some capacity, hence the title. The production went unfinished from lack of funds and the original title may have been Mrs. Peabody but even that is uncertain. 
ALWAYS TELL YOUR WIFE (1923) – Hitchcock started out as a co-director of this 20-minute comedy short but had to step into the top spot when the original director quit over creative differences with the studio. Though Alfred’s previous directing effort had gone unfinished, this comedy short was completed but he was not credited since he had not directed the entire film. 
THE PLEASURE GARDEN (1925) – The third time was almost the charm as this 75-minute movie was not only completed, but Hitchcock was credited as the director!
