Time for another news roundup here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog.
PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRAT CHARGED WITH WIDE-SCALE VOTE FRAUD. Yet, no matter how many scandals like this get exposed, year after year, Democrat media outlets still insist this type of thing doesn’t happen.
FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY ACKNOWLEDGES TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT TIK TOK.
THE MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CORRUPTION AT FTX. More HERE. The Democrats’ second-largest donor at the heart of this latest crushing blow to the working class and the poor.
WASHINGTON POST REPORTS THAT THE FBI FOUND NO NUCLEAR SECRETS OR OTHER SUCH ITEMS IN THE MAR-A-LAGO RAID. But you’ll notice they waited until AFTER the midterm elections last week to report this. Another “the walls are closing in on Trump” farce flops.
THANKSGIVING DINNER ITEMS WILL COST TWENTY PERCENT MORE THAN EVEN LAST YEAR’S MASSIVE INCREASE. Joe Biden’s disastrous inflation rages on.
WHISTLEBLOWERS CONTINUE TO EXPOSE THE ROT AT THE FBI (FUGGEDA BOUT INTEGRITY). One of the reasons I used to be a Democrat before going independent was that Democrats used to be outspokenly critical of the FBI’s never-ending abuses. In recent history, however, Democrats are just fine with FBI corruption as long as it benefits The Party.
THE CAPTIVITY OF THE PROFESSOR (1901) – Written by A. Lincoln Green, a presumed pen name, this story was first published in Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine in the February 1901 isssue. 
VICTORY BOWL – The 2022 edition of this showcase game in the NCCAA will pit the defending Victory Bowl champions – the SOUTHWESTERN ASSEMBLIES OF GOD UNIVERSITY LIONS – against the OLIVET NAZARENE UNIVERSITY TIGERS.

The MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE MUSTANGS – the defending National Champions – will play the ARIZONA CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY FIRESTORM. 
Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at the 2022 midterm elections based on what we know now. As regular readers know I despise both the Republican and Democrat Parties and would like to see them both splinter into multiple smaller parties, so I can provide a non-partisan view. 
Without the Democrat losses in 2020 there is no way the Republicans would have taken back the House this time around. Hey, who was at the top of their ballot in 2020? 
LET’S TALK AT HOME (2001-2003) – This cult program is often called “Mexico’s MST3K.” Its Spanish language title is A Platicar a su Casa, which has been translated into English as Let’s Talk at Home, Do Your Talking at Home and similar titles.
Balladeer’s Blog has written a great deal about earlier Movie Host shows, from 1950s efforts like Vampira, Mad Marvin and others on up through Moona Lisa and Ghoulardi in the 60s and 70s to 1980s programs like Elvira’s Movie Macabre, Texas 27 Film Vault, Laraine Newman’s Canned Film Festival, etc,
The wisecracking hosts were Andres Bustamente and Trino Camacho, two legends in Mexican comedy. The jokes were what you would expect – shots at the poor quality and/or low budget of the films, their odd storylines plus some social and political commentary about life in Mexico. 
Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog will take a look at the 2022 midterms when we at last know the final results. The Party’s official lie is that this is normal, and we are all supposed to ignore all those other elections we witnessed in our lifetimes in which results were tallied and announced the next day. 
TOPPLING NUMBER SIX – In NCAA Division 2 the 16th ranked INDIANA UNIVERSITY IN PENNSYLVANIA CRIMSON HAWKS welcomed the number 6 team in the nation – the SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY RAMS. The Crimson Hawks led 7-0 in the 1st Quarter and 10-7 come Halftime. The 3rd Quarter ended with IUP on top 24-7, but they had to hold on in the 4th against a furious Rams rally for a 24-21 win. 
CLOSE CALL FOR NUMBER TWO – Down in NCAA Division 3 the number 2 UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN AT WHITEWATER WARHAWKS paid a visit to the BALDWIN WALLACE UNIVERSITY YELLOW JACKETS. This odd game saw the Warhawks out in front 17-0 at the Half. After a scoreless 3rd Quarter the Yellow Jackets rallied for 21 points in the 4th but fell short. UW-Whitewater won out 23-21.
This weekend’s light-hearted, escapist superhero blog post deals with Marvel’s enigmatic mercenary Paladin, whose activities on behalf of his clients often put him on both sides of the law. 
DAREDEVIL Vol 1 #150 (January 1978)
Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog wants to remind readers that Maricopa County, which has become synonymous with voting debacles, has already said that it won’t finish its vote count until after the weekend. Around the nation a few other races are still dragging out, too. It’s still not final what the exact count in the House and Senate will be, so we still don’t know where everything stands. 
THE NEW NORTHLAND (1915) – Written by Louis Pope Gratacap. The main character is explorer Alfred Erickson, who recruited a few associates of varied backgrounds to join him in a search to prove the existence of an isolated warm weather land mass in the far north.
