We need alternate political parties. The Democrats have become basically “The Party” in 1984 fashion, with intolerant functionaries pushing Democrat Dogma into every aspect of the social, professional and educational aspects of life for the rest of us. Dissenting from Democrat Party policy has become grounds for driving people out of their jobs and even out of entire professions.
Elected Republicans simply look on in envy. They’d love to be able to wield such power but could never pull it off, so they simply sell out their own constituents on a regular basis and settle for their lesser share of influence and graft. There is no true opposition party, just two rival gangs of white-collar criminals.
Oh, and by the way, Biden’s travel bans from Africa are just fine to the repulsively hypocritical Democrats. Under Trump such bans were absurdly called “racist” and were one of the Apocalypses of the Week that Democrat media outlets forced on us for years.
Here’s a roundup of just some of the latest examples of Democrats oppressing the rest of us:
JOE BIDEN’S FEDERAL RESERVE VICE CHAIR IS MARRIED TO HIS “ASIA TSAR” WHO HEADLINED A CONFERENCE FOR A HUNTER BIDEN-LINKED ORGANIZATION FOR CHINA. The Biden Crime Family is fairly blatant about their dubious behavior.
THE DEMOCRATS’ FACULTY LOUNGE FASCISTS TELL STUDENTS IT IS “EVIL” TO CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING. And remember, the Biden Regime has labeled parents “Domestic Terrorists” for asking questions at School Board meetings regarding what their children are taught in school.
SMASH AND GRAB FLASH-MOBS EMBOLDENED BY DEMOCRAT DAs WHO DECRIMINALIZED RETAIL THEFT ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY VIOLENT. The Democrat Dystopia expands.
BIDEN REGIME DOING AWAY WITH TRUMP DEPT OF EDUCATION POLICY TO TRACK SEX CRIMES COMMITTED BY TEACHERS. More HERE. Thanks, “Teacher’s” Unions (really Democrat Unions). Continue reading

A JETSON CHRISTMAS CAROL (1985) – Christmas Carol-A- Thon 2021, my 12th annual Christmas Carol-A-Thon, continues here at Balladeer’s Blog! This 1985 animated version of the Dickens classic incorporates the characters from the Hanna Barbera program The Jetsons. They were a family who were the far-future counterparts of the Stone Age family The Flintstones.
FIRST QUARTERFINAL – The NORTHWESTERN (IA) COLLEGE RED RAIDERS took the field against the MARIAN UNIVERSITY KNIGHTS. The Red Raiders led 6-3 in the 1st Quarter and 19-10 come Halftime. In the 3rd Quarter the Knights pulled to within 19-17 before Northwestern College won out in the 4th 25-20.
SECOND QUARTERFINAL – In this game the GRAND VIEW UNIVERSITY VIKINGS played the CONCORDIA (MI) CARDINALS. A 7-3 Cardinals edge in the opening Quarter became a 17-10 Vikings lead at the Half. The 3rd Quarter ended with Concordia University trailing by just 17-16 but it was all Grand View U in the 4th as they won the game 31-16.
GIANT-SIZE SPIDER-MAN Vol 1 #4 (April 1975)
Our hero defeats three of the four and a bullet fired from a rooftop by the Punisher kills the fourth. The Punisher flees the scene while Spider-Man takes care of the still-frightened woman. An ambulance and some cop cars show up on the scene. The police insist Spider-Man must come in to answer questions regarding the deaths of Captain John Stacy and Norman Osborn, both of whom he is mistakenly suspected of killing.
If it’s the Friday after Thanksgiving, then regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog know it’s the day when I kick off my annual Christmas Carol-A-Thon in which I review several versions of A Christmas Carol. I look at movies, television shows, radio shows and books which adapt the Dickens classic. Every year I present new reviews and a few old classics since new readers will have missed them.
A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1943) – An early experimental broadcast on December 22nd, 1943 from Dumont TV’s station W2XWV in New York, presumably to mark the 100 year anniversary of the publication of A Christmas Carol.
CHRISTMAS, 1944 (1944) – This half hour production of the Carol aired on December 19th, 1944 at 8:45 PM as part of the Video Varieties television series. Dumont TV station WABD in New York presented the show in conjunction with WOR-TV in New Jersey. Reviews of the time indicated it was an adaptation of the story of Scrooge set in 1944.


JAMES BATMAN (1966) – HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Balladeer’s Blog takes a Turkey Day look at a film from the Philippines. This movie teams up Batman, Robin and James Bond as they battle an evil organization called C.L.A.W. It’s another of the many unauthorized Batman movies from around the world.
Dolpho is in love with Shirley (Shirley Moreno), but she considers Dolpho boring and has the hots for Batman. Just as Shirley is oblivious to the fact that Dolpho really IS Batman, she has no idea that her sister (Bella Flores) is secretly the sultry costumed villainess called Black Rose. 

The COLLEGE OF DUPAGE CHAPARRALS and the NASSAU COLLEGE LIONS are the two teams competing in the 2021 National Championship Game in NJCAA Division Three football. This is the first year that NJCAA football has been separated into different divisions.
