It’s the latest current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.
*** NEW! DEMOCRAT JUDGE ROCHELLE CAMACHO AND FIVE OTHER OFFICIALS CHARGED IN VOTE FRAUD RING. More HERE. The fight for election integrity continues, as does the fight against the rampant corruption among Democrat judges.
DHS SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM AND FAMILIES OF VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIME CALL OUT DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR PRITZKER FOR HIS CALLOUS INDIFFERENCE TO THE SUFFERING OF THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES. All just so he can brag about being a “Sanctuary State.” But Democrat “sanctuary” policies never protect victims, just perpetrators.
U.S. FORCES RESCUE CARACAS HOSTAGES. More HERE.
ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI ANNOUNCES HISTORIC FENTANYL BUST.
SLUSH FUND IS THE LATEST SCANDAL FOR CORRUPT DEMOCRAT LETITIA JAMES. Have I mentioned lately that many American politicians tend to be white-collar criminals?
DEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN JASMINE CROCKETT AND FAMILY EXPOSED FOR CASHING THEIR DEAD GRANDMOTHER’S SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS SINCE 2004. CROCKETT SAYS SHE “DOESN’T HAVE TO EXPLAIN.” Luckily, DOGE caught this and stopped the checks and is trying to recover the funds. What kind of human being would take part in stealing money meant for their dead grandmother?

A TRIP TO THE MOON BY MR. MURTAGH MCDERMOT, CONTAINING OBSERVATIONS AND REFLECTIONS MADE BY HIM (1728) – The real author of this is unknown, since it was published using the pen name Murtagh McDermot. Unless, of course, the writer used their real name for the main character.
IT’S A BIRD … IT’S A PLANE … IT’S SUPERMAN! (1975) – It’s the bomb that asks the musical question “How many Lembecks can you handle?” Even the most die-hard Superman fans would have a hard time forcing themselves to watch all of this made for tv movie version of the 1966 stage musical.
Despite music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Lee Adams and script by David Newman & Robert Benton this Superman musical was Broadway’s biggest flop in history as of the 1960s. It’s no great shakes in its televised form, either. 


For some prep as I at last get back into reviewing the surviving fragments of ancient Greek comedy every now and then, here’s my 2011 review of Demoi by Eupolis. Along with Aristophanes and Cratinus, Eupolis was one of the Big Three of Attic Old Comedy. Background info is
THE PRISON ON DEVIL’S ISLAND – Near the mouth of the Orinoco River in French Guyana a huge deposit of diamonds has been discovered. Inmates of the notoriously hellish prison on nearby Devil’s Island have been making frenzied attempts at escape to go diamond hunting.
TOGETHER WE STAND (1986-1987) – With the new attention being paid to Ke Huy Quan/ Short Round in recent years, I decided to take a look at the sitcom he co-starred in with Elliott Gould, Dee Wallace Stone and others.
The first episode unrealistically dealt with a social worker leaning on the Randalls to adopt two more children, Sam (Quan) and an African American girl named Sally (Natasha Bobo). But hey, My Mother the Car and The Flying Nun proved long ago that realism isn’t necessary. 



In the middle 1980s/ Way down on Level 31 …
SERIAL: Radar Men from the Moon was the current serial being shown. This episode of The Texas 27 Film Vault featured Chapter Nine titled Battle in the Stratosphere. During the 12-week run of this serial one of the behind-the-scenes crew (no one remembers who at this point) would dress as Commando Cody, the hero of the serial, and occasionally interact with Randy and Richard during the comedy sketches.
FILM VAULT LORE: This was supposedly the favorite episode of the Film Vault Corp’s effects man Joe Riley, which is why he used the title The Hypnotic Eye for his post-T27FV television show, episodes of which are online.
