Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog provides a mid-week current events roundup.
A BREAKDOWN OF THE MONEY THAT THE SOMALI MEDICAID FRAUD SCANDAL IN MINNESOTA RIPPED OFF. Democrat Governor Tim Walz still under scrutiny.
MORE JUDICIAL OVERREACH AS “JUDGES” COME TO THE DEMOCRATS’ RESCUE BY OVERTURNING ONE OF THE FRAUD CONVICTIONS. More HERE. And as we’ve seen before, Democrats will now use the judge’s reasoning to overturn more of the Medicaid fraud convictions. Judges are nothing but politicans and deserve to be treated as such.
REMEMBER, DEMOCRAT SENATOR ELISSA SLOTKIN, ONE OF THE PUSHERS OF THE “ILLEGAL ORDERS” LIES, WORKED FOR THE REPULSIVE CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION THE CIA. More HERE. And the detestable CIA has abused the world for far too long. And a reasonable person might wonder if anyone is EVER truly “former CIA.”
TAIBBI CALLS OUT THE DEMOCRATS’ LUDICROUS LIES IMPLYING PRESIDENT TRUMP GIVES ILLEGAL ORDERS TO THE MILITARY. Democrat hysteria about Trump never ends. Not so long ago the White House Ballroom was their Apocalypse of the Week, and there was the Qatar jet nonsense and so many other Apocalypses of the Week. More on this latest fiasco HERE. And HERE. And HERE. And HERE. And HERE.
ICE ARRESTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WITH SEX CRIME HISTORY WHO WAS TEACHING AS A PROFESSOR AT FERRIS STATE UNIVERSITY. Democrat control of higher education permits situations like this because they think background checks and immigration laws are “racist.” Continue reading
THE GYPSY WARRIORS (1978) – Yesterday I reviewed the godawful 
This 1978 tv-movie starts out by turning “show, don’t tell” on its ear. As bad as the opening of The Chinese Typewriter was, the opening to this World War Two snoozer is even worse. The beginning devotes FOURTEEN entire minutes of the 76-minute runtime to a portentous announcer merely narrating as we see mismatched footage of hands, arms and the backs of heads plus second unit film of buildings, airplanes and vehicles.
Two thousand fishermen from Cape Cod had gone off to enlist in the Continental Army, and in their absence the British had repeatedly landed raiding parties to harass the citizens.
THE CHINESE TYPEWRITER (1979) – It’s tough to remember the time before Tom Selleck was a tv megastar. His looks made him stand out and he had “future success” written all over him. He even showed he had a knack for comedy when he made two appearances on The Rockford Files as the annoyingly perfect and cliche-ridden detective Lance White. (“I’m okay, Jim. It’s just a flesh wound.”) 
With those writing and directing pedigrees behind the project you should have been able to smell several seasons, big money and some Emmy Awards in the offing. 
ROUND ONE: GAME ONE – The SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY FIRE welcomed the REINHARDT UNIVERSITY EAGLES (should be Rottweilers). The Fire led 14-7 in the opening Quarter and 21-10 by Halftime. Neither team scored in the 3rd Quarter, but Reinhardt University mounted a fierce rally in the 4th. Southeastern University held on for a 24-22 victory. 
ROUND ONE: GAME TWO – A more lopsided affair was to be had in Oskaloosa, IA as the WILLIAM PENN UNIVERSITY STATESMEN played host to the TEXAS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY RAMS. The 1st Half ended with the Statesmen out in front 21-3. After the break, William Penn U. outscored the Rams 17-6 to win the game 38-9.
ROUND ONE: GAME THREE – The UNIVERSITY OF ST. FRANCIS (IN) COUGARS took the field against the visiting EVANGEL UNIVERSITY VALOR. A 7-0 opening Quarter advantage for the Valor became a mere 10-7 edge come Halftime. The 3rd Quarter ended with the Cougars within 12-10, then in the 4th they came from behind for a 13-12 triumph. 
In the Zoroastrian version of the end times the Big Event will happen 3,000 years after Zoroaster/ Zarathustra introduced the world to the belief system that bears his name. For those who date Zoroaster’s birth to around 1,000 BCE that means the end could come any year now, but for those who date his birth closer to 600 BCE the world still has hundreds of years to go. 
MARVEL TEAM-UP Vol 1 #53 (Jan) 
The genetically engineered human/ animal hybrid creature Woodgod (at right) – also immune to the nerve gas – is still being contained in the depopulated town by Major Del Tremens and his troops at Tranquility Base, who caused the nerve gas leak.
