Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog presents another look at recent news, memes and political cartoons.
JOE BIDEN’S WAR ON THE PRESS TARGETS “TODAY NEWS AFRICA” REPORTER SIMON ATEBA. More racist and oppressive hostility from the execrable Biden.
DEMOCRAT MAXINE WATERS CALLED OUT FOR HER AND HER PARTY’S CORRUPTION IN THE FTX SCANDAL. More HERE. Apparently because Sam Bankman-Fried donated tens of millions of dollars to the Democrats, it looks like he may go unpunished for his misdeeds.
As I observed long ago, bloated rich pigs switched their support to the Democrats once it became obvious that they were much more skilled at pandering to modern Robber Barons than the inept Republicans ever were.
JACK DORSEY, THE PRE-ELON MUSK HEAD OF TWITTER, CALLED OUT FOR THE WAY HE AND HIS FELLOW DEMOCRATS FAILED TO BAN CHILD PORN LIKE MUSK IS DOING. More about the pre-Musk pedophile problem at Twitter HERE. Plus, an analysis of Twitter’s pre-Musk failure to deal with child porn HERE. One of the most disgusting examples HERE. Democrats, can you please leave children alone?
AND YET ANOTHER COVERUP OF BIDEN CRIME FAMILY CORRUPTION IS UNRAVELING. Republican President Warren G. Harding and the Ohio Gang were amateurs compared to the Biden Gang.
BIDEN REGIME OFFICIAL SAM BRINTON CALLED OUT OVER ANOTHER THEFT. More HERE, and HERE. The Biden Crime Family and their minions are such a bizarre collection of stooges, crooks and graft-grabbers.
AND STILL ANOTHER DEMOCRAT LEAVES THAT PARTY, THIS TIME IN NEW YORK. So many of us who decided to #WALKAWAY from that political party can understand. Unfortunately, this one became a Republican instead of an Independent. Continue reading

The competing teams are the NORTH-WESTERN (IA) COLLEGE RED RAIDERS and the KEISER UNIVERSITY SEA HAWKS. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 Noon ET.
FIRST SEMIFINAL – The COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES OREDIGGERS took the field against the SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY RAMS in this game. A 3-0 1st Quarter edge for the Orediggers turned into a 17-3 advantage by Halftime. After the break the Colorado School of Mines limited the Rams to just 10 points in the 4th Quarter while piling up points for themselves. The final score was Orediggers 44 Shepherd U. 13. 
Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema, like so many of us former Democrats, disgusted with how fascistic and intolerant the Democrats have become, has officially left that political party to register as an Independent.
THE SUPERMAN MUSICAL FROM 1975 – This stage musical from the 1960s was trying for that intentionally campy and overdone feel of the Adam West Batman series. The official title is It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Superman! In this 1975 made for tv staging, David Wilson plays Clark Kent/ Superman, Lesley Ann Warren is Lois Lane, Loretta Swit portrays a femme fatale, plus David Wayne and Kenneth Mars play the main villains. Allen Ludden fills the Perry White role, while Malachi Throne, Harvey Lembeck and Al Molinaro play gangsters. You can read the full review
THE AFTERMAN (1985) – This post-apocalypse film from Belgium is not for the squeamish. The story presents 1991 as the year nuclear war broke out, and in 2011 our lead character has run out of provisions in the radiation-proof shelter he’s been in for 20 years. The rest of the flick deals with his often violent and depraved encounters with the barbaric world that’s left. My full review is
DEATH GAME (1977) – This horror/ suspense film is OUT THERE. From the bizarrely inappropriate opening song to the home invasion aspect to the exploitative middle section all the way up to the surreal ending. Sondra Locke, Colleen Camp, Bill Paxton and Sissy Spacek were all involved with this weird flick. Death Game inspired a much later remake starring Keanu Reeves. My full review is
JUNGLE MANHUNT (October 1951) – This seventh Jungle Jim feature film is one of the best examples of how the franchise combined fun escapism with outlandish “So Bad They’re Good” film antics. After rescuing female reporter Anne Lawrence (Sheila Ryan) when her boat overturns, Jungle Jim agrees to guide her on her search for Bob Miller – played by real-life football star Bob Waterfield, Jane Russell’s husband.
Our hero and Anne also encounter dinosaurs – yes, dinosaurs – in the jungle region where Bob Miller’s plane went down. Much of it is stock footage from One Million B.C. but at one point, Jungle Jim clashes with an upright-walking, man-sized dinosaur who looks like the model for the Gorn Captain fought by Captain Kirk years later. Or maybe Barney the Dinosaur.
Hello again from Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy! It’s been several days of
Because the people who run the Republican Party are clueless, outdated and utterly useless, it has taken the fluke of just happening to have two maverick billionaires around to find
Garbage families like the Bidens, Pelosis and Clintons (Democrats) and the Bushes, Cheneys and Romneys (Republicans) have been running the country like a Mafia bust-out operation and looting the public treasury. 
This item is a reminder that
A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1982) – Burbank Films of Australia produced this mediocre at best animated version of the Dickens classic. Previously I reviewed the 1969 Australian cartoon version and if you were to go strictly by this 1982 rendition of A Christmas Carol you would think that Australian animation technology had not progressed one bit since 1969.
DEATH MACHINES (1976) – Martial Arts meets science fiction meets spy antics in this odd, feverish cult film starring a young Ron Marchini. You can read my review of the movie
HUNTERWALI – India’s films about their Zorroesque masked heroine who uses her sword and whip against a tyrannical Vazier and his men. There were Indian-made movies about the character in 1935, 1959, 1972, 1977, 1988 and 2017.
BRUM (1991-2002): FORGOTTEN TELEVISION – A neglected children’s series from the U.K. I reviewed the adventures of the living toy car
JIREL OF JOIRY – Female author C.L. Moore’s short stories about her 1930s sword-wielding warrior woman Jirel of Castle Joiry.
