Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog serves up a Monday current events roundup.
ILLINOIS DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR PRITZKER CHEERS ON THE VIOLENCE IN CHICAGO. More HERE. And HERE. Plus, Chicago Democrat pettiness knows no floor HERE.
YET ANOTHER “TEACHER” – THIS ONE IN MASSACHUSETTS – ARRESTED ON CHILD PORN CHARGES. Democrats, can you please leave children alone?
THE LATEST TARGETS FOR BANNING BY DEMOCRATS? SHIRTS THAT SAY “FREEDOM.” You can’t make up this stuff.
DEMOCRAT “SANCTUARY” STATES STILL ALLOWING COMMERCIAL DRIVERS LICENSES FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WITH NO NAME GIVEN. Unreal. And remember, Democrats even caused the government shutdown on behalf of illegal immigrants.
DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE FOR VIRGINIA AG STILL FACING UPROAR OVER WANTING POLITICAL OPPONENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN SHOT. More HERE. Stop Democrat Violence.
SCANDAL CONTINUES REGARDING THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WITH FAKE DEGREE AND LONG CRIMINAL RECORD BEING PROTECTED BY DEMOCRAT-RUN “EDUCATIONAL” SYSTEM. Any and every illegal immigrant is sacred to Democrats. Their victims, not so much.
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. 
MYSTIC COMICS Vol 1 #1 (Mar 1940) 
B. Dynamic Man – Scientist Dr. Simon Goettler creates 
Yes, those government “shutdowns” that aren’t technically shutdowns have happened 
CEMETERY OF TERROR (1985) – HALLOWEEN MONTH CONTINUES! Released in Mexico as Cementerio del terror, this overlooked movie makes for some nice Halloween season viewing and is even set on October 31st. Cemetery of Terror is not as campy as Mexican Wrestling Horror flicks or notorious works like 
Once again, Balladeer’s Blog looks at the fragmentary remains of one of the lesser-known ancient Greek comedy playwrights, in this case Philyllius. This comic poet’s career seems to have spanned approximately from the 410s BC to 390 BC. One of his comedies won 1st prize at a Lenaea festival in the 390s and he won 1st prize at an unknown Dionysia. His fellow comedian Strattis credited him with being the first Attic Old Comic to use real torches on stage.
