I’ll be making my Bloom’s Day post later today. Right now it’s another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.
THE DEMOCRAT “NO KINGS” MURDERER ON THE LOOSE AFTER THEIR POLITICAL KILLINGS HAS BEEN APPREHENDED. WAS AN APPOINTEE OF MINNESOTA’S DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR TIM WALZ. The suspect allegedly killed their victims for being Democrats who voted with Republicans in the state legislature last week. Killer’s manifesto found.
EX-ILLINOIS HOUSE SPEAKER, DEMOCRAT MICHAEL MADIGAN, SENTENCED TO SEVEN AND A HALF YEARS IN PRISON ON CORRUPTION CHARGES. Have I mentioned lately that 21st Century Democrats are a combination of the Mafia and Nazis?
TIK TOKER REVEALS THAT PRO-VIOLENCE FORCES HAVE BEEN PAYING INFLUENCERS TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS A DAY TO POST IN SUPPORT OF THE RIOTS. No surprise. Democrats are known for astroturf, not grass-roots movements.
UNLIKELY SOURCE LAYS BARE THE LIES ABOUT THE ONGOING SITUATION IN CALIFORNIA.
STEPHEN KING, LOOKING NOTHING AT ALL LIKE A CREEP WHO HANGS AROUND PLAYGROUNDS, SAYS HE WANTS WOMEN IN CHARGE OF NUCLEAR NATIONS. As I’ve done in the past when imbeciles like King say this sort of thing, I will point out that WHAT STEPHEN KING REALLY MEANS IS THAT HE WANTS ONLY WOMEN WHO AGREE WITH HIS POLITICAL OPINIONS TO RUN NUCLEAR NATIONS. Does anyone really think the sexist King wants Kristi Noem, Tulsi Gabbard, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Pam Bondi, Lauren Boebert, etc? Continue reading
THE DEVLIN CONNECTION (1982) – HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! Balladeer’s Blog marks the occasion with a look at this short-lived detective series starring Rock Hudson and Jack Scalia as father and son investigators. 
Before MST3K there was … 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. Balladeer’s Blog continues its celebration of the program’s 40th anniversary year.
It’s June, the traditional month for weddings and since summertime is also the season for superhero movies I figured why not take a look at a superhero wedding. And since the movie reboot of the Fantastic Four will be coming out soon I’m going with the wedding of Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards) and Sue Storm (Invisible Girl then, Invisible Woman now).
FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH (1907) – Written by Thomas William Lawson, a writer and stock manipulator who made a fortune from shady stock deals … in between advocating for cleaning up Wall Street to shut down those fleece jobs. The reforms Lawson campaigned for were taken up decades later when Franklin Roosevelt appointed future Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas to head the Securities Exchange Commission. 
Jim Randolph, one of the novel’s main characters, is in the T.R. mold: he may be a bloated rich pig but at least he’s a bloated rich pig with a sense of noblesse oblige. Jim shares Teddy Roosevelt’s disdain for the Trusts and for con men who use the stock market to rip off their clients. 
SECRETS OF THE METEORITE – Once again Kapitan Mors and his crew take off from their secret island base on a space exploration mission. Among the crew of Mors’ spaceship the Meteor are the regulars – Executive Officer Lindo of India, Engineers Stern and Schrecken, Ship’s Astronomer Van Halen, plus Science Officers Anita and Lucy Long. 
PARIS (1979-1980) – This 13-episode cop show was created by the one and only Steven Bochco. James Earl Jones took his first starring role in a television series as Woody Paris of the Los Angeles Police.
THE EPISODES:
MOSES CLEAVELAND (1754-1806) – With the 4th of July fast approaching, here’s a seasonal post about this Revolutionary War veteran and founder of Cleveland, OH despite the difference in spelling.
