Time for another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.
EXPOSING THE LIES THAT TRUMP WILL CUT MEDICARE AND/OR SOCIAL SECURITY. He never did it in his 1st term, either. Trump is the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my entire lifetime.
JOB OPENINGS ARE ON THE RISE AS THE LABOR MARKET STABILIZES. The term “the Trump Effect” is being bandied about again.
ONCE AGAIN, TRUMP HAS A “BLUE-COLLAR BOOM” STARTING. Remarkable.
JOE BIDEN’S FAKE OVAL OFFICE SET FOUND AND DISPLAYED. The one he often used but which Democrat media outlets claimed didn’t exist for some reason.
EGG PRICES ALREADY DROPPING UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP. And only Democrats are upset about it. CNN POLL: TRUMP’S APPROVAL RATING ON HANDLING THE ECONOMY IS ALREADY ELEVEN PERCENT HIGHER THAN JOE BIDEN’S.
SENATOR TOM COTTON TAKES UP JAMES CARVILLE’S SUGGESTION MONTHS AGO TO TAX “WOKE” UNIVERSITIES’ MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR ENDOWMENTS. Such taxes would more than pay for Biden’s unconstitutional cancellation of so much student loan debt. Hypocritical Democrats, who usually LOVE new taxes, will, of course, object to this.
VETERANS AFFAIRS SECRETARY DOUG COLLINS SMACKS DOWN “REPORTER’S” LIES ABOUT DOGE LOOKING TO MAKE CUTS AT THAT DEPARTMENT. The lying corporate media in America needs to be called out like this more often.
IRELAND’S HEAD OF STATE PRAISES TRUMP’S PEACE PUSH BETWEEN UKRAINE AND RUSSIA.
ONTARIO BACKS DOWN ON THREAT TO OVERCHARGE THREE AMERICAN STATES FOR ELECTRICITY AFTER TRUMP FOUGHT BACK. Even the Democrats at NBC admit it HERE. And more HERE. And HERE.
YASSIN FAWAZ ON TRUMP’S ECONOMIC POLICIES AND HOW THEY COMBAT THE WAY OTHER NATIONS HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AMERICA FOR DECADES. A similar view on tariffs, etc. HERE.
TRUMP’S ECONOMIC POLICIES ALREADY SLOWING INFLATION. More HERE. Continue reading
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. 
KAPITAN MORS DER LUFTPIRAT – From 1908 to 1911 the masked Captain Mors, a combination of Robin Hood, Captain Nemo and Robur, appeared in weekly adventures running 32-33 pages. The character’s creator is not known but over his 3-year run various writers were linked to this German series, which was basically a late Dime Novel but early Pulp Magazine. 
After the initial run of 3 years and a few months, the Captain Mors stories were reprinted around Europe in various languages until 1916. The good captain at first adventured in the skies above, then later took his crew to other planets aboard his “world ship” (which we today would call a spaceship) the Meteor. 
FIRE DRILL aka Simulacro de Incendio (1897) – On January 24th of this year, Gabriel Veyre (at left) held the very first exhibition of silent film shorts in Cuban history at a theater in Havana. 
FILM COMMERCIAL FOR LA TROPICAL BEER aka the Missing Sorcerer (1898) – This was the very first film directed by a native Cuban – Jose Esteban Casasús, a noted pioneer of Cuban Cinema. Lasting just under a minute, this short advertised the brewery & product of La Tropical beer and was produced by Cinemataca de Cuba.
CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY (1901) – A film capturing the 1901 assembly, the equivalent of our Constitutional Convention. Following the defeat of Spain in the Spanish-American War, Cuba produced its first constitution a few years later. That document was openly based on the United States Constitution but had 115 articles instead of America’s 7. 
*** LET’S CUT THROUGH THE POLITICAL THEATER – The European politicians talking tough about standing with Ukraine are just voguing for attention. We’ve all seen the wording in their agreements that none of them will take any action unless the U.S. is on board with it and pays for it. 
*** DEMOCRATS PRETEND TO BE ALL-IN FOR UKRAINE SIMPLY AS A MEANS OF ATTACKING PRESIDENT TRUMP. Democrats pretend the only way to support Ukraine is to mindlessly support the crooked failure Zelensky. Ukraine is NOT equivalent to one person. The pathetic, cosplaying little man Zelensky is a corrupt authoritarian.
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME – The last teams standing in this tournament were the 2nd seeded UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE PENMEN and the 5 seeds – the PACE UNIVERSITY SETTERS (Irish Setters). The Setters were up 35-33 at the Half, but after the break the Penmen forced Overtime with a 64-64 tie. USNH edged Pace 72-71. Royce Williams led the Penmen with 21 points and teammate Paul Greene got a Double Double of 18 points & 13 rebounds. 
FIRST SEMIFINAL – The 4 seeds – the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA AT BEAUFORT SAND SHARKS – took the court against the top seeded COLUMBUS STATE COUGARS. The score was knotted up at 41-41 come Halftime, but from there the Sand Sharks managed enough separation for a 91-87 Upset win. Hudson Norton tossed in 18 points to lead USC-Beaufort. 
SPIDER-MAN Vol 1 #36 (May 1966) 
She makes a point of showing up at an astro-science exhibit that Peter is visiting and is exasperated once again as the fragments of meteorites and other displays capture Peter’s attention instead of her blonde hotness. (Save your own life and just walk away, Gwen!) 
A TRIP TO THE NORTH POLE or DISCOVERY OF THE TEN TRIBES AS FOUND IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN (1903) – Written by Otte Julius Swenson Lindelof.
