Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog is back with another current events roundup from an America where wormy, weaselly people who will celebrate when President Trump inevitably dies pretend to be outraged that he doesn’t follow their orders to mourn the corrupt, failed and disgraced Robert Mueller.
AND where Democrats try to pretend they aren’t causing the shutdown but also keep saying they will “keep the shutdown going” until their demands are met.
ICE ARRESTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT FOR RAPING A FIVE-YEAR-OLD GIRL ON LONG ISLAND. Privileged white one-percenter Bruce Springsteen couldn’t care less about the victim and still rails against ICE instead.
YET ANOTHER BIDEN-RELEASED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHARGED WITH KILLING SIXTY-TWO-YEAR-OLD VICTIM.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HONORS SHERIDAN GORMAN, ANOTHER VICTIM OF DEMOCRAT “SANCTUARY” POLICIES. I will point out again that victims get no sanctuary from Democrats – only the perpetrators do.
FOUR-TIMES DEPORTED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN DEMOCRAT “SANCTUARY” CITY NEW YORK CHARGED WITH MURDERING EIGHTY-THREE-YEAR-OLD MAN. Should illegals be referred to as “Bruce Springsteen fans?”
EXAMINING THE UTTER HEARTLESSNESS OF 2026 DEMOCRATS.
UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S POLICIES JOBLESSNESS IS NEARLY AT AN ALL-TIME LOW.
DEMOCRATS FEEL PROTECTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS IS JOB ONE. Continue reading
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME – The last two teams standing in the NAIA were the FREED-HARDEMAN UNIVERSITY LIONS and the LANGSTON UNIVERSITY LIONS (should be Hugheses). By Halftime Freed-Hardeman University was on top 33-30, and after the break they squeezed out a tiny bit more separation from Langston U. FHU triumphed 76-71 led by 20 points from Orlando Thomas.
ELITE EIGHT: FIRST BERTH – The UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAROONS clashed with the GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS COLLEGE GUSTIES. Gustavus Adolphus had the Maroons a bit wary with their 40-39 edge at the Half. From there, the University of Chicago snuck by the Gusties for a 93-92 victory. Twenty-one points from Shane Regan led the Maroons.

A TOURIST IN HAVANA (1908) – A documentary short depicting the sights to be seen by tourists in 1908 Havana. The director was Enrique Diaz Quesada, who founded the first film studio in Cuba alongside his brother Juan. This short debuted on September 15th at Havana’s Payret Theater. 
INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT GENERAL JOSE MIGUEL GOMEZ (1909) – Another newsreel, this one filming the inauguration of Magoon’s elected successor.
THE GREAT ELECTRIC DIAPHRAGM – This short story was written by neglected American science fiction pioneer Robert Duncan Milne. It was published in the May 24th, 1879 edition of The Argonaut in San Francisco. 
FINAL FOUR: FIRST BERTH – The FREED-HARDEMAN UNIVERSITY LIONS faced the ARIZONA CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY FIRESTORM. The teams went almost basket for basket in the opening Half, with the Firestorm on top 36-34 going into the locker room. From there the play was just as tight, but the Lions eked out a 79-78 victory. Rico Sain put up 21 points to lead Freed-Hardeman. 
With the passing of the iconic Chuck Norris I’m taking a look at my favorite films of his. I was never the biggest Norris fan, so this list is purely from the perspective of a casual fan. 
INVASION USA (1985) – Psychotronic cinema in its purest form, Invasion USA was so firmly in the realm of fantasy that it’s ridiculous that some critics tore into it so deeply. The same type of critics probably loved the pretentious One Battle After Another, which was basically Invasion USA in reverse. 
Matt is among the people fighting back against the communist invaders in escapist, over the top action scenes. Anti-Castro Cubans fight the invaders in alliance with our main character. Red Dawn was too juvenile in my opinion, so I much prefer this Norris flick.
THE VISION OF ADOMNAN – Dated to the late 600s A.D., This was a tale of the vision that Saint Adomnan supposedly had during his lifetime (c 679-704 A.D.). Several centuries before Dante’s Divine Comedy (Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso), The Vision of Adomnan depicted the future saint being conducted through Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell so that he could share this “vision” with others. 
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME – This title tilt was fought between the 3 seeds – the LANCASTER BIBLE COLLEGE CHARGERS – and the 4th seeded COLUMBIA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY RAMS. By Halftime the Chargers were on top 37-27. After the break, LBC kept the Rams at arm’s length as they won their first ever National Championship 82-75. Camden Hurst tossed in 27 points to lead the Chargers. 
ELITE EIGHT: FIRST BERTH – The AVE MARIA UNIVERSITY GYRENES faced the LOUISIANA STATE AT SHREVEPORT PILOTS (Riverboat Pilots). The Gyrenes put LSU-Shreveport on Upset Alert at the Half with their 46-38 advantage. The Pilots cut into the AMU lead from there, but still lost to them by a Century Club score of 102-98. The Gyrenes were led by Michael Klekas with a Double Double of 26 points and 11 rebounds. His teammates Jack Watkins and Alex Sherwood got Double Doubles of their own with 21 points & 11 rebounds, and 14 points & 10 rebounds, respectively.
