Hello again from Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy! It’s been several days of intensified gangster warfare between the white-collar criminals of the Democrats and Republicans. Neither gang of bought and paid-for whores is worth rooting for, but a few individuals are. De facto Third Party President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are among them.
Because the people who run the Republican Party are clueless, outdated and utterly useless, it has taken the fluke of just happening to have two maverick billionaires around to find people capable of defying the cesspool of corruption that masquerades as America’s political system.
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.
The latest lie being spread about Donald Trump, America’s Lech Walesa, Nelson Mandela and modern-day Eugene Debs & Charles Stewart Parnell all wrapped up in one, is that he supposedly called for the suspension of the Constitution. He said no such thing, of course, but the media outlets of our country’s two criminal political parties NEED a distraction from all of the new evidence of Joe Biden’s illegitimacy and other scandals, many of which incriminate both parties gangs.

JOE BIDEN – WHO STILL HAS MORE “KIDS IN CAGES” THAN EITHER TRUMP OR OBAMA HAD, STILL CALLOUSLY REFUSES TO VISIT THE BORDER. But we all know that the people who pretended to care about those kids in cages were just using them as political props.
This item is a reminder that Joe Biden’s war on the working class and the poor continued with his crushing of the rail workers.
Democrats have not been the party of FDR and JFK for a very long time now. Stop pretending they still are.
This next political cartoon is a reminder about the Democrats and how mired they are in the FTX scandal. If America had a competent opposition party there might be some consequences.
However, the Republican power players are too busy trashing Donald Trump, and presumably some are already preparing their excuses for dumping Ron DeSantis when he gets sufficiently muddied up by the media (remember, a few years back Democrats and their media outlets were able to – virtually overnight – convince most of the nation that Brett Kavanaugh was a serial sexual predator who even ran a rape gang in college).
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.

ELON MUSK HEROICALLY EXPOSES 
FIRST SEMIFINAL – The KEISER UNIVERSITY SEA HAWKS visited the GRAND VIEW UNIVERSITY VIKINGS (should be the Zebras) in this game. The 1st Quarter ended with the Sea Hawks up 7-0 before expanding that to a 21-7 advantage by Halftime. After the break, Keiser University outscored Grand View 17-14 for a 38-21 Upset and a trip to the title game on December 17th. 
SECOND SEMIFINAL – Up next the NORTHWESTERN (IA) COLLEGE RED RAIDERS took the field against the INDIANA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY WILDCATS. A 17-0 Red Raiders lead in the opening Quarter remained unchanged at the Half. The 3rd Quarter ended with Northwestern College on top 31-0 and the 4th in a 38-7 Red Raiders win. It will be Red Raiders and Sea Hawks in the Championship Game. 
FIRST QUARTERFINAL – The COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES OREDIGGERS faced their hosts the ANGELO STATE RAMS. The Orediggers led 14-7 in the 1st Quarter and 21-10 at the break. From there Colorado School of Mines managed a bit more separation from the Rams for a 42-24 Upset victory.

BLACKADDER’S CHRISTMAS CAROL – Balladeer’s Blog’s 13th Annual Christmas Carol-A-Thon continues! Long-time readers know what a big fan I am of Rowan Atkinson’s work – especially his Blackadder programs. Hell, I’m even an enormous fan of his more serious work in Full Throttle. And I never tire of telling anyone who will listen that I think he’d make a perfect Dikaiopolis in Aristophanes’ comedy The Acharnians. 
Time for another round of Balladeer’s Blog’s recurring feature Transgress with Me. As I’ve often mentioned in the past, I used to be a Democrat before their increasing intolerance and fascism drove me to leave the party and become an Independent Voter. 
*** YOU WON’T EVER FIND THE DEMOCRATS TYING THEMSELVES IN KNOTS WORRYING ABOUT FINDING CANDIDATES THAT WILL GET PRAISED BY FOX NEWS, ONE AMERICA NEWS, NEWSMAX, BREITBART ETC. The Democrats’ greatest advantage is that their only viable rivals are the clueless, outdated and utterly useless Republican Party.
News of the disastrous reaction to screenings of the unwanted and unneeded fifth Indiana Jones movie, starring a 136-year-old Harrison Ford, caused me to reflect on the 1980s flood of Indiana Jones imitators. Studios even revived the old H. Rider Haggard character Allan Quatermain by casting Richard Chamberlin as Quatermain in a few movies. 
JUNGLE JIM (1937) – This 12 episode serial from Universal starred Grant Withers as the title character in the pith helmet. The story involved Joan Redmond, a wealthy young heiress who disappeared in the African jungle with her parents years earlier.
