Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog does another current events roundup.
AS TRUMP-BACKED LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE HEADS TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES NOW, HE CALLS FOR UNITY. “It’s everyone’s bill” he stated. JENNINGS REMINDS BEGALA THAT IT WAS DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON WHO ADDED WORK REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDICAID, NOT TRUMP. SCHMITT SHOOTS DOWN DEMOCRAT LIES BY POINTING OUT THE MEDICAID CUTS ARE FOR 1.4 MILLION ILLEGALS. Anti-Trumpers are still stuck in the pre-Trump past, when Republican policies were uniformly callous regarding public benefits.
TRUMP’S BBB KEEPS HIS PROMISE TO SENIOR CITIZENS REGARDING NOT HAVING THEIR BENEFITS TAXED. Trump continues to be the new FDR.
EVEN DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET CNN ADMITS FOURTH OF JULY GAS PRICES UNDER TRUMP HAVE DROPPED TO FOUR-YEAR LOW. Now that the corrupt and unfit figurehead Joe Biden and his handlers are gone.
HELEN LEWIS OF THE DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET THE ATLANTIC ADMITS DEMOCRATS PUSH “ZOMBIE FACTS” WHICH ARE NOT TRUE BUT WHICH THE POLITICAL BUBBLES THEY LIVE IN CONVINCE THEM ARE TRUE. As a former Democrat turned Independent, I certainly agree. Uninformed Democrats STILL spout lies about President Trump and other items on a daily basis.
HARVARD CALLED OUT AGAIN FOR THEIR VIOLATIONS OF STUDENT CIVIL RIGHTS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WELCOMES * LEGAL * IMMIGRANTS AND NATURALIZED CITIZENS “INTO OUR NATIONAL FAMILY”. Democrats still pretend they don’t understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration.
Cratinus was one of the Big 3 in Attic Old Comedy along with Aristophanes and Eupolis, both of whom were much younger than he was. From the fragmentary evidence available on Dionysalexandros, it appears to be a possibly unique hybrid of Attic Old Comedy and traditional Satyr Plays.
For the most part the silly conspiracy theories about the establishment of the United States are good only for laughs. One of my favorites, however, features a speech from a mysterious figure usually associated with Freemasons, Rosicrucians and/or the Bavarian Illuminati of Adam Weishaupt.
“They (the British) may stretch our necks on all the gibbets in the land. They may turn every rock into a scaffold, every tree into a gallows, every home into a grave and yet the words of that parchment can never die!” 



APRIL 2nd – Off the coast of Delaware the British frigates HMS Perseus and HMS Roebuck spotted the South Carolina Navy’s schooner the USS Defense, captained by Thomas Pickering. Outnumbered, the Defense fled and the British vessels pursued her from roughly 6:00am to 1:00pm.
Before MST3K we had The Texas 27 Film Vault! In the middle 1980s, way down on Level 31 Randy and Richard, machine-gun toting Film Vault Technicians First Class, hosted this neglected cult show which debuted Saturday February 9th, 1985. Balladeer’s Blog continues its celebration of the program’s FORTIETH anniversary year with this schlock film set on the 4th of July.
SERIAL: Before showing Frogs our members of the Film Vault Corps (“the few, the proud, the sarcastic”) showed an episode of the 1950 Columbia serial Atom Man vs Superman. Kirk Alyn starred as Superman with Lyle Talbot as his archenemy Lex Luthor. 
MISS LIBERTY 



THE SALAMANDER – The 4th of July is fast approaching! As another seasonal post Balladeer’s Blog examines the Revolutionary War career of Captain Jonathan Haraden, nicknamed the Salamander because of “his ability to withstand fire.”
The Tyrannicide wasted no time, battling the HMS Dispatch on July 12th. The Dispatch boasted 20 cannons but after an hour & a half battle fell to Fisk and Haraden’s crew. The commerce raider towed this prize into Salem by July 17th and soon set out for more.
