Time for another current events roundup courtesy of Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog, as always coming to you from an America where the Great Reformer Donald Trump continues to take on the most entrenched governmental corruption in history.
NBC POLL: TRUMP AT HIS HIGHEST APPROVAL RATING, PLUS THE PERCENTAGE OF AMERICANS WHO FEEL THE COUNTRY IS HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION IS AT ITS HIGHEST LEVEL IN TWENTY YEARS. DEMOCRAT APPROVAL RATING IS DOWN TO JUST TWENTY-SEVEN PERCENT.
RESCUED ASTRONAUTS THANK PRESIDENT TRUMP AND ELON MUSK. The latest joke going around is that some showboating, eventually overruled judge will rule that Trump must return the astronauts to being stranded in space.
TRUMP POLICIES LEAD TO BUILDING BOOM IN FEBRUARY. Single-family homes lead the way.
DEMOCRAT “FUND RAISING” ORGANIZATION ACT BLUE SCANDAL OVER ILLEGAL DONATIONS DEEPENS. Have I mentioned lately what a cesspool of corruption America’s political establishment is?
ICONIC PHOTO OF TRUMP UNDEFEATED WINS PHOTO OF THE YEAR AWARD.
PRESIDENT TRUMP GETS ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS DOWN TO THEIR LOWEST FEBRUARY LEVELS EVER.
PRESIDENT TRUMP ENGINEERS PUTIN AND UKRAINE CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT ON ENERGY AND INFRASTRUCTURE. Immediate talks on permanent peace scheduled. Politicians getting kickbacks from Ukraine and blood-soaked weapons manufacturers hardest hit.
NEW YORK TIMES ADMITS AGAIN THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT COVID COMING FROM A WUHAN LAB. More HERE. But the demented “must disagree with everything Trump says” psychosis ruled the corporate media’s reactions in 2020 as it still does today.
ANOTHER ASSOCIATED PRESS LIE ABOUT TRUMP GETS EXPOSED.
LATEST SHOW-BOATING JUDGE TO SOON BE OVERRULED IS ALSO FACING IMPEACHMENT. More HERE. And HERE.
GRASSLEY: THE SENATE IS WORKING TO SOLVE JUDICIAL OVERREACH. No matter WHO is president or from which political party, this pointless interference from attention-seeking judges needs to stop. Continue reading
THE PHANTOM CHARIOT OF CUCHULAINN (Siaburchapat Con Culaind) – This tale is dated to around the mid-400s A.D. because of the presence of St. Patrick. 
The next day, St. Patrick and King Loegaire are both on hand at the appointed place when Cuchulainn appears, riding in his chariot driven by his usual charioteer Laege. The demigod’s two horses – the Dub Sainglend (black horse of Saingliu) and the Liath Macha (gray horse of Macha) – are pulling the chariot. 
HAPPY SAINT PATRICK’S DAY! From People’s Favorite Magazine in 1916 to Argosy in the 1930s, the saga of Irish pirate and mercenary soldier Denis Burke unfolded from the pen of H. Bedford-Jones. The fictional buccaneer deserves to be remembered in the same breath 
FIRST QUARTERFINAL – The 4 seeds – the CROWN COLLEGE POLARS – faced the 5th seeded GRACE CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY TIGERS. GCU was on top of the Polars 39-33 by Halftime, but Crown College came out of the locker room ready for a comeback. In the end the Polars triumphed 74-69 led by 24 points from Tyrus Buckner. 
SECOND QUARTERFINAL – The 3rd seeded MANHATTAN CHRISTIAN COLLEGE THUNDER took the court against the 6 seeds – the CAMPBELLSVILLE UNIVERSITY AT HARRODSBURG PIONEERS. At the Half the score was knotted up 38-38. From there the Thunder squeezed out a little separation from the Pioneers for a 72-69 victory. Xavier Lucas led MCC with 20 points. 
SUN GIRL 
SUN GIRL Vol 1 #1 (August 1948) 
Our heroine outfights and outshoots the entire gang and hauls them into a police station. Expository dialogue reveals this is the latest in a rash of bank robberies and Sun Girl vows to lure out the secret leader of the gangs. 
I WAS A TEENAGE TIME LORD – In the style of Tom Baker & Jon Pertwee Doctor Who episodes and vintage Golden Turkeys of the past with faint undertones of old movie host shows comes this self-indulgent blog post. 
My imaginary character wasn’t an alien from Gallifrey or anything, he was just from Earth of the future and wound up stranded in the past. His futuristic science kept him from aging, and he spent his time helping human beings battle weird menaces. 
FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER (1965) – This black & white film is on many people’s lists of the worst movies ever made, so it was a dream come true for young me. Martian women have been rendered sterile from the radiation of the planet’s nuclear war. 
The Red Planet’s Princess Marcuzan, her chief scientist Nadir and some troops have come to Earth, where they abduct nubile women vacationing in Puerto Rico to use as breeding stock. The aliens are opposed by a heroic android astronaut called Frank, supposedly short for First Robot Astronaut Corps. 
The half-melted android (after crashing his craft) battles the aliens to save Earth ladies, ultimately fighting the space monster the Martians brought with them. For a couple minutes, anyway. 
ROUND ONE: GAME ONE – The 4 seeds – the NEWPORT NEWS APPRENTICE SCHOOL BUILDERS (Shipbuilders) played the 5th seeded SOUTHEASTERN ILLINOIS COLLEGE FALCONS. By Halftime the Builders had acquired a 38-30 advantage over SIC. After the break, the Apprentice School pressed down on the accelerator, routing the Falcons by a score of 85-61. Adrion Wall led the Builders with 19 points.
ROUND ONE: GAME TWO – This game pitted the 2nd seeded LYON COLLEGE SCOTS against the 7 seeds – the BRYANT & STRATTON COLLEGE AT BUFFALO BOBCATS. The Scots were on fire and led BSC-Buffalo 48-31 at the midpoint. From there Lyon College squeezed out a bit more separation for an 84-63 triumph. Kylon McCullough’s 23 points led the Scots, while teammate Frank Toney had a Double Double of 14 points & 10 rebounds.
