Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog does a Monday current events roundup from a country where the Democrats continue killing and burning and calling for even more killing and burning. And where more and more cowards seem to be saying to themselves “Democrats are far more likely to use violence against me than Republicans are, so I’ll do what the Democrats say and blame the dead victims for all this.”
ATTACK ON MICHIGAN CHURCH: THE AFTERMATH CONTINUES.
DEMOCRAT SENATOR JOHN FETTERMAN COURAGEOUSLY PUBLICIZES A STUDY IN WHICH EVEN FAR-LEFT AXIOS ADMITS LEFT-WING VIOLENCE IS AT A THIRTY-YEAR HIGH. More HERE. Fetterman deserves high praise for this kind of non-partisanship. Surely he knows this puts him in the crosshairs of his Party’s increasingly bloodthirsty fanatics. And I’m impressed Axios did this study.
SENATOR FETTERMAN ALSO TARGETS THE DEMOCRATS’ EXTREME RHETORIC LIKE CALLING PEOPLE “HITLER”, ETC.
DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM PUTS A TARGET ON WHITE HOUSE DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF STEPHEN MILLER BY POSTING IN ALL CAPS “STEPHEN MILLER IS A FASCIST.” Posobiec states “They know exactly what they’re doing” HERE. There is no way ANY Democrat does not recognize that that’s “a dog whistle” (as Democrats love to say) for the Party’s unhinged zealots.
KRUISER: “DEMOCRATS LIE AND PEOPLE DIE.“
DEMOCRAT PARTY
DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET NBC USES THEIR PROPAGANDA PROGRAM LAW & ORDER: SVU TO DEPICT ICE AGENTS PROTECTING RAPISTS, ETC. It’s a win-win for the Democrats because if such propaganda goes unchallenged, they benefit. And if reasonable people call it out, they claim it violates their First Amendment rights.
Let me remind people of Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson’s remark in the case of Terminiello vs Chicago that “the Constitution is not a suicide pact. Constitutional protections must be balanced with the need for societal survival and order, especially during times of crisis.” (And since 2025’s Democrats only view the world through television shows and movies, I’ll point out for them that Jackson was portrayed by Alec Baldwin in the year 2000 miniseries Nuremberg, so they have the Party’s permission to like him.)
IN DEMOCRAT “SANCTUARY” STATE ILLINOIS, PROTESTERS CHANT “KILL ICE! SHOOT ICE!” ELSEWHERE, A GRAND JURY INDICTS THREE PEOPLE FOR STREAMING THEIR STALKING OF AN ICE AGENT AND DOXXING HIS HOME’S LOCATION. More HERE. Just another wink and a nudge to violent Democrats.

THAT WAS NUMBER FIIIIVE – In the NAIA the 19th ranked MARIAN UNIVERSITY KNIGHTS welcomed the nation’s number 5 team – the INDIANA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY WILDCATS. By Halftime the Wildcats were on top of Marian U. 21-10 but things turned around after the break. The 3rd Quarter ended with the Knights within 28-24 of Indiana Wesleyan and the 4th in a 52-42 Marian triumph.
DOWN GOES NUMBER EIGHT – Over in NCAA Division 2, the NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE BEARCATS took the field against the visiting 8th ranked UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA BRONCHOS (their spelling).

AND NUMBER NINE COMES TUMBLING AFTER – Staying in D2 for the moment, the number 16 CALIFORNIA (PA) UNIVERSITY VULCANS traveled to face the 9th ranked SLIPPERY ROCK UNIVERSITY ROCK. The Vulcans put Slippery Rock on Upset Alert with their 35-28 advantage at the Half. Each team scored 10 more points from there as Cal (PA) toppled the Rock 45-38. 
DEFENDERS Vol 1 #17 (Nov 1974) 
ONE-POINT WONDER – The ERIE COLLEGE KATS took it on the road against the COLLEGE AT BROCKPORT GOLDEN EAGLES. The Kats converted their 9-0 1st Quarter lead into a 16-2 advantage by Halftime. The 3rd Quarter ended with Erie College on top 23-2 but the 4th saw the Golden Eagles furiously rally only to fall just short as the Kats held on to win the game 23-22. 
For this installment of my examinations of Greek comedies I will focus on one of the ancient Greek comedians whose entire corpus is very, very, VERY fragmentary, touching briefly on all of their known works. For background info on ancient Greek comedy plus my previous reviews click here: 
1. TRAGI-COMEDY – This play gave comedic treatment to the traditional rivalry between comedy and tragedy on the ancient Athenian stage. The comedy had fun with the inherent tensions between the two dramatic forms, including the fact that tragedy took pains to preserve the audience’s suspension of disbelief while comedy reveled in bursting the dramatic illusion via constant meta-theatrical breaking of the fourth wall.
In the middle 1980s/ Way down on Level 31 …
SERIAL: Before showing The Crybaby Killer our members of the Film Vault Corps (“the few, the proud, the sarcastic”) showed an episode of the Mascot Serial The Phantom Empire (1935). 
THE MOVIE:
THE DAY OF RESIS (1897) – This sci-fi novel was written by Lillian Frances Mentor. The main character is Enola Cameron, a strong-willed 20-year-old American woman from a well to do family. She purchases a very old goatskin document describing a hidden African kingdom called On. 
The participants consist of her lady friends, mixed male and female relatives and Henry, who is in love with her. In a gross element common to a lot of stories back then, he is also her cousin. Enola boldly leads the expedition to Africa and a march to the interior.
