Another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.
LOS ANGELES POLICE CHIEF STATES THE DEMOCRAT VIOLENCE IS ESCALATING, DESPITE DEMOCRATS SCHIFF, BASS AND GOVERNOR NEWSOM’S CLAIMS OTHERWISE. But hey, Schiff, Bass and Newsom don’t care about the safety of the people, they care only about “owning” Trump by demanding he call off the National Guard to handle the riots. Can Democrats make ANY decisions not based on their monomaniacal hatred of one man?
DEMOCRAT CITY COUNCIL MEMBER IN LOS ANGELES ENCOURAGES RIOTERS TO ESCALATE THEIR ATTACKS. No surprise. The office-holders who still call themselves Democrats in 2025 are not rational.
SBA ADMINISTRATOR SAYS THEY ARE MOVING THEIR REGIONAL OFFICE OUT OF LOS ANGELES SINCE THE CITY “WON’T PROTECT ITS PEOPLE” BY COOPERATING WITH ICE. Democrats in office are indefensible at this point.
KARINA LIPSMAN: CANDIDATE IN THE SPECIAL ELECTION IN VIRGINIA’S ELEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
PAKISTANI DELEGATION SAYS “TRUMP IS NOT BEING CELEBRATED ENOUGH” FOR THE CEASEFIRE WITH INDIA.
POLL: SEVENTY-FOUR PERCENT OF CALIFORNIANS WANT TO END SANCTUARY CITIES. But Democrats never care what the voters want despite their endless bluster about “defending democracy.”
ANCHORMAN AT DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET IN LOS ANGELES ACTUALLY REFERS TO THE RIOTERS AS “HAVING FUN” AND WARNS ABOUT AUTHORITIES COMING IN “THE WRONG WAY.” And an idiotic British news outlet claims Trump is “bullying” the violent rioters.
NEW GAZA AID HEAD PRAISES TRUMP’S HUMANITARIAN BREAKTHROUGH THERE. Yes, making sure the people receive the aid and not letting it be hijacked by Hamas is an improvement. Continue reading
THE DOLLY MADISON MURDERS (2023) – In September of 2002 24-year-old Mandi Alexander and 79-year-old Mary Drake were found murdered in the Dolly Madison Bakery in Great Bend, KS. Compared to many other unsolved crimes around the world this case has gotten comparatively little attention. 
Balladeer’s Blog resumes its shoutout to the FORTIETH anniversary year of The Texas 27 Film Vault, one of the many Bad Movie Shows since the 1950s. The program debuted on Saturday February 9th, 1985. 
CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS Vol 1 #1 (June 1982) 
They both agree that since Earth has the greatest concentration of superbeings it will be the site of their mysterious contest. The two villains abduct every single superhero in Marvel Comics at the time, plus several new ones from around the world who were just introduced in this story. 
As we all observe the June 6th anniversary of the 1944 Allied landing at Normandy during World War II, Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at the events from other June 6ths in history.
1782 – In the Ohio Country, American Rebel Colonel William Crawford’s 500 men were defeated in the wilderness by 750 British, Shawnee, Ojibwe and Potawatomi troops as the Revolutionary War continued despite Cornwallis’ surrender the previous October. 
“See how he apes his father” was a saying long associated with contemporary enemies of John Quincy Adams as a complaint about how the younger Adams was as stubborn and single-minded as his father John Adams. He pursued his own ends regardless of political consequences. 
THE CORSICAN BROTHERS (1941) – Another of the many adaptations of the Alexandre Dumas novel that have very little to do with the original storyline. In this case the tale was transformed into an action-packed sword-fighting, gun blazing, hell-for-leather chase vehicle for Doug Jr. 
Each grows into a man of action, Lucien as a bandit chief and Mario as a dueling, gambling ladies’ man. When they are reunited they set out to bring down the man who massacred their family – Baron Colonna (Akim Tamiroff), now the tyrannical ruler of Corsica. 
NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics)
POLEIS – In this post I’m looking at Poleis (Cities), written by Eupolis, one of the Big Three of Ancient Greek Comedy along with Aristophanes and Cratinus. This satirical comedy is dated from approximately 422 B.C. to 419 B.C. Like so many other such comedies it has survived only in fragmentary form.
