Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog serves up a Friday roundup of current events.
PRESIDENT TRUMP ADDS A FOURTH AND FIFTH PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY TO HIS COALITION TO SUBSTANTIALLY DROP PRICES ON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. He’s the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime. More HERE. And HERE.
AMERICAN CENTER FOR LAW & JUSTICE STEPS IN TO HELP THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS THAT JACK SMITH AND HIS BIDEN REGIME ALLIES ILLEGALLY SPIED ON. Democrat fascism is as ugly as ever.
AND ANOTHER HIGHER COURT SMACKS LOWER COURT WHICH ILLEGALLY RULED AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP. More HERE. Vast implications in where this may go. SEPARATE CASE: SUPREME COURT GIVES TRUMP ANOTHER WIN. Again we see he’s no “dictator” since he pauses until higher courts okay his actions. But Trump-haters are too deranged to realize that.
IN HOUSTON, ICE ARRESTS OVER ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS GUILTY OF ADDITIONAL CRIMES LIKE MURDER, GANG ACTIVITY AND CHILD RAPE. More HERE. Democrats would probably like to vote for every single one of them. MORE THAN THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND AMERICANS APPLY TO JOIN PRESIDENT TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION ENFORCERS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP TELLS DEMOCRAT SCHUMER TO STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH PEOPLE’S LIVES AND REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. Are ugly shutdowns like this going to be the new norm in the Democrats’ repulsive repertoire? DEMOCRAT SENATOR MURPHY SAYS DEMOCRATS MUST KEEP THE SHUTDOWN GOING FOR THE SAKE OF THE PARTY’S “BRAND.” So incredibly callous.
HEROIC DHS SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM HELPS ENLIST ECUADOR’S ASSISTANCE IN ENDING DRUG TRAFFICKING FROM THE REGION. Someone who gets things done is always better than worthless man-children who gutlessly sit on the sidelines and impotently make fun of people.
DEMOCRATS VOW TO CONTINUE THEIR SHUTDOWN. Still insisting on undoing what the voters wanted. Will clueless Congressional Republicans preserve the filibuster only to see the Democrats get rid of it the next time they control Congress? They still don’t get the new terms of engagement.

FOES (1977) – Though I’m reviewing this movie under my Bad and Weird Movies category, let me be clear that Foes is not bad and it is weird in the best way possible. I’ve watched the 91-minute version with Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat from The X-Files) and Macdonald Carey (“Like sands through the hourglass …”) top billed AND the 72-minute version with just the virtual unknowns appearing. 
Yes, it’s once again Guy Fawkes Day, the day Balladeer’s Blog celebrates figures who became symbols of the exact opposite things they represented in their actual lives! 
“Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that falls in my hands! My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood.” 
Read more of this animal’s own words and you will see what a callous, unfeeling political fanatic this hate-filled scumbag was. He never wanted to overthrow dictatorships to help “the people”, he just wanted to overthrow them to install dictatorships more to his liking.

THE IACCACI BROTHERS – In the 1960s young American men would head to Canada to avoid serving in the Vietnam War. During World War One a number of young American men headed to Canada to serve in British Military Units because the U.S. had not yet entered the conflict. 
AT THE EARTH’S CORE (1914) – This tale was originally serialized in several issues of All-Story Weekly in 1914, then was assembled in novel form in 1922. American mining heir David Innes and his much older inventor friend Abner Perry test-drive Abner’s diesel-punk subterranean tunnel-drilling vehicle the Iron Mole. 
DANGEROUS ASSIGNMENT (1952) – Brian Donlevy, famous as Professor Quatermass in a pair of movies, starred as secret agent Steve Mitchell. He received his missions from a man called “The Commissioner” (Herb Butterfield). 
NUMBER FIVE TOPPLED – In NCAA Division Two, the 8th ranked COLORADO STATE AT PUEBLO THUNDERWOLVES visited the number 5 team in the nation – the WESTERN COLORADO UNIVERSITY MOUNTAINEERS. By Halftime WCU was in front 21-7, but the Thunderwolves shut them out from there. It was 21-21 in the 3rd Quarter with CSU-Pueblo winning 24-21 in the 4th. 
DOWN GOES NUMBER EIGHT – Down in NCAA Division Three, the number 9 UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN AT RIVER FALLS FALCONS played host to the 8th ranked UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN AT WHITEWATER WARHAWKS. UW-River Falls made a definite statement, leading the Warhawks 31-7 at the Half before embarrassing them by a final score of 52-14 
CENTURY CLUB IN FOOTBALL? – My Century Club notes usually apply to college basketball teams that score 100 or more points in Regulation. In a very, very rare case in football, the NJCAA’s SNOW COLLEGE BADGERS welcomed the CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN COLLEGE SAINTS and utterly eviscerated them ONE HUNDRED ONE to SIX!
