Here’s a Friday current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.
TRUMP EFFECT: PAYCHECKS CONTINUE TO OUTPACE INFLATION. The greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime.
EVEN THE DEMOCRATS AT CNBC ADMIT NOW THAT JOE BIDEN CAUSED THE “AFFORDABILITY CRISIS” THEY TALK ABOUT. Points for honesty, I guess.
NOBEL LAUREATE MARIA CORINA MACHADO CREDITS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WITH HELPING HER ESCAPE VENEZUELA.
DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS OF COLORADO, ILLINOIS AND NEW YORK MOVE TO DEPRIVE THEIR CITIZENS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S NO TAX ON TIPS BENEFIT JUST BECAUSE TRUMP DID IT. Anti-Trump hysteria and Trump Derangement Syndrome sink to new depths. How do service personnel in those states feel about The Party continuing to tax their tips? More HERE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S POLICIES HAVE ALREADY LOWERED AMERICA’S TRADE DEFICIT BY TEN POINT NINE PERCENT. Meanwhile, Congressional Republicans accomplish nothing.
THE INDIANA LEGISLATURE FAILS TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMOCRATS. More HERE. One side wants it more. Outside of Trump and his allies elected Republicans are worthless.
SOME OF TRUMP’S SUCCESSES IN BRINGING DOWN VIOLENT CRIME NUMBERS.
MINNESOTA’S GROTESQUE MISHANDLING OF MULTIPLE RAPIST ADBIMAHAT BILLE MOHAMED.
BUSH CRIME FAMILY: NEIL BUSH (REMEMBER HIM FROM THE SAVINGS & LOAN SCANDALS A FEW DECADES AGO?) IS NOW CLIMBING INTO BED WITH CHINA. How much more damage will that family do to the U.S.?
BBC EXPOSED FOR LYING ABOUT PRESDENT TRUMP YET AGAIN. Yet they still pretend to be a “news” organization.
TRUMP’S DOJ IS SUING MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS OVER THEIR RACIST AND SEXIST POLICIES. Continue reading
DECEMBER 11th, 2019 – On the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, cave art was discovered that has been recognized as the world’s oldest example of pictorial storytelling, dating to approximately 43,900 years ago. 
A DIVA’S CHRISTMAS CAROL (2000) – Balladeer’s Blog’s Sixteenth Annual Christmas Carol-a-Thon continues with a look at this Vanessa Williams venture. Due to the nature of this adaptation of the Dickens classic it is often categorized as one of the “African-American versions.” Among other such Carols I have reviewed are Christmas is Comin’ Uptown with Gregory Hines and John Grin’s Christmas starring Robert Guillaume. 
SEAN FLYNN: ERROL’S SON IN MOVIES – The son of swashbuckler Errol Flynn and Lili Damita starred in several overlooked films, among them The Son of Captain Blood, The Sign of Zorro, and Temple of the White Elephant (think Indiana Jones adventures). 
FORGOTTEN TELEVISION – The Blue Palace (1974-1976): A German sci-fi series that was like a cross between Doomwatch and The X-Files. Click 
MARIE WALCAMP: THE DAREDEVIL OF SILENT MOVIES – Forgotten by everybody except us Silent Film geeks, Marie did most of her own stunts and from 1913 to 1920 starred in adventure serials like The Lion’s Claws, Liberty: A Daughter of the USA, and the Fu Manchu-inspired The Dragon’s Net. She also did jungle adventures like The Jungle Queen, A Daughter of the Jungle, and Cast Adrift in the South Seas. Plus westerns like The Red Ace and her 9 flicks as female gunslinger Tempest Cody.

I WAS A TEENAGE TIME LORD – Young me and Bad Movies like Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster, From Hell It Came, The Creeping Terror, Robot Monster, Teenagers from Outer Space and more 
APPOINTMENT WITH ADVENTURE (1955-1956) – This forgotten program from the 1950s presented LIVE performances that were filmed and could be aired as reruns in the future. Appointment with Danger ran for 53 half-hour episodes and featured writers like Rod Serling as well as actors like Paul Newman and Gena Rowlands. If you don’t like black & white, some episodes have been colorized. 
FIVE IN JUDGMENT – Paul Newman and Jack Lord star in this drama about two brothers who take shelter from a storm in a small-town diner filled with other patrons waiting out the dust storm. News reports make the locals suspect that Paul and his brother are a pair of fugitives who just murdered a 16-year-old girl. Patricia Breslin and James Gregory also starred. 
A CHRISTMAS CAROL (2012) – This adaptation of A Christmas Carol was a noble effort to try something different that was not just a gimmick. Ignore the negative IMDb reviews which accuse this adaptation of using “Elizabethan language.” They’re off by a few hundred years, since in reality the dialogue follows that in the Dickens novel of 1843. 
“George King, a Bernie Sanders supporter, is yet another in the ever-growing list of people like me who are disgusted with the pathetic and irrational behavior of the Democrats following career criminal Hillary Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump. King wrote an op-ed piece titled Democrats Have Lost the War, the People and All Three Branches of Government. 
“The doubling down of the corporate and neocon wing of the democrat party after the complete destruction from voters’ rejection clearly paints the picture for those who question the truth in what has happened.”
“The Democrat Party has doubled down on all the things resulting in the loss of power in all three branches of government… “
