Here’s a midweek current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.
JOE BIDEN’S CORRUPT (AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY APPOINTED) PROSECUTOR JACK SMITH NOW EXPOSED FOR LITERALLY SPYING ON OPPOSITION PARTY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. More HERE. And HERE. And HERE. Democrats, THIS is a threat to Democracy because you had the Executive Branch abusing its power for political warfare.
And if anyone needs reminding, spying on members of Congress was also why Obama’s CIA filth John Brennan – The Man from S.C.U.M. – had to resign in disgrace. Two Democrats in a row used these ugly tactics from the White House. The more Biden Regime scandals are exposed, the more Democrats increase their violence as a distraction.
JOE BIDEN EXPOSED FOR QUASHING REPORT ON HIS AND HIS CRIME FAMILY’S CORRUPTION IN UKRAINE. Even among the notorious corruption thriving in Ukraine, they were amazed at the Biden Crime Family’s offenses and hypocrisy.
DEMOCRATS DEMANDING ROLLBACK OF ALREADY-PASSED LEGISLATIVE ITEMS TO END THEIR SHUTDOWN OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. New ugliness introduced by the Democrats – now if you lose elections and therefore get outvoted in legislation going through Congress, just shut down the government to try undoing what was already passed. THIS is another “threat to democracy.”
FIFTEEN YEARS TOO LATE, THE WASHINGTON POST EDITORIAL BOARD ADMITS WHAT AN UNAFFORDABLE MESS OBAMACARE MADE OF HEALTH CARE. And that especially applies to the financial damage it did to working class and poor families.
VIRGINIA’S REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR, WINSOME EARLE-SEARS, BLASTS DEMOCRAT A.G. CANDIDATE JAY JONES’ TWISTED TEXTS ABOUT KILLING POLITICAL OPPONENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Jay Jones should be known as Jay “No child left alive” Jones.
CHICAGO’S DEMOCRAT MAYOR JOHNSON IMPOSES “ICE-FREE ZONES” TO PREVENT ICE FROM SAFEGUARDING CHICAGO’S STREETS BY ARRESTING PREDATORY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO HAVE COMMITTED ADDITIONAL CRIMES. Continue reading
Balladeer’s Blog takes another look at an ancient Greek comedy. Most of my previous examinations of these verse plays dealt with Attic Old Comedy or on what little is known about Susarion, a revered pioneer of stage comedy.
The chorus, so important to Attic Old Comedy, was not yet present on stage in Epicharmus’ time, but musical accompaniment was. Like so many other ancient Greek comedies, the plays of Epicharmus have survived only in very fragmentary form. 
Halloween Month rolls along with this look at a very old British series of telefilms that presented some classic horror tales during Christmas Season. The tales themselves were NOT set around Christmas, so they make for nice Halloween Season viewing, too. 
THE STALLS OF BARCHESTER (Dec 24th, 1971) – Dr. Black (Clive Swift), a scholar cataloguing the book collection at Barchester Cathedral, comes across the diary of a former Archdeacon who murdered his predecessor so he could rise to the position. The killer was then haunted by ghostly figures in the form of the carvings on the cathedral’s choir stalls. Also starring Robert Hardy, Thelma Barlow and Will Leighton. 
Like Balladeer’s Blog pointed out last year the increasingly unhinged Anti-Trump Right, the American Left and their Corporate Media allies have accomplished the seemingly impossible: they’ve turned Donald Trump into a sympathetic underdog. 
NUMBER FOUR TAKES A FALL – In NCAA Division 3, the number 12 BETHEL (MN) ROYALS welcomed the nation’s 4th ranked ST. JOHN’S UNIVERSITY JOHNNIES in this game. A 3-0 Royals edge to end the 1st Quarter became a 10-10 tie at the midpoint. After a scoreless 3rd Quarter, the 4th saw Bethel University dispatch the Johnnies 17-10. 
KNOCKING OFF NUMBER SIX – NCAA Division 2’s 7th ranked UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT THE PERMIAN BASIN FALCONS were on the road against the number 6 team in the nation – the ANGELO STATE RAMS. By Halftime the Falcons were on top 21-7 before Angelo State cut that to 21-14 in the 3rd Quarter. UT-Permian Basin consummated the mild Upset 28-14 in the 4th. 
DOWN GOES NUMBER TEN – In the NAIA, the FLORIDA MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY LIONS paid a visit to the 10th ranked team in the country – the SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY FIRE. A 10-0 1st Quarter lead for the Fire was cut to a mere 17-14 edge over their opponents by the Half. The 3rd Quarter ended with the Lions up 21-20 and the 4th in a 28-23 FMU win. 
MAN-SIZE IN MARBLE (1887) – One of the iconic Edith Nesbit’s short horror stories. This was first published in the December of 1887 issue of the magazine Home Chimes. Nesbit later included it in her collection of short stories titled Grim Tales (1893). For modern readers – and possibly Victorian Age readers, too – it’s always clear where the story is headed but it’s still worth checking out.
