Time for another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.
LAWSUIT EXPOSES HOW THE FAA – WHICH COMPLAINS NOW ABOUT UNDERSTAFFING – HAD TURNED AWAY OVER ONE THOUSAND QUALIFIED APPLICANTS BECAUSE OF DEI POLICIES. DEI is bigoted against white and Asian applicants. Democrat hatemongers even call Asians “white-adjacent.”
And let’s be clear – DEI isn’t designed to help all people of color, only those people of color who show sufficient fealty to Democrat attitudes via their “studies” or “activism” as reflected on their job applications. Democrats weren’t hiring Thomas Sowells or Joy Villas or Clarence Thomases. It was similar to the way any applicant refraining from filling in their preferred pronouns would have been a red flag for Democrat Human Resources workers.
TRUMP GETS AMERICANS FREED FROM VENEZUELA.
CIA ADMITS PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT A LAB LEAK BEING THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE OF THE COVID PANDEMIC. But Democrats hysterically insisted that notion was wrong just because Trump said it, remember?
FENTANYL-DEALING TREN DE ARAGUA GANG MEMBERS IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY ARRESTED IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Obviously, the Biden-Harris Regime could have been making these arrests all along, but callously chose not to.
PANAMA CAVES TO TRUMP BY AGREEING TO EXIT THEIR DEAL WITH CHINA. Yet, anti-Trumpers STILL fail to comprehend that in negotiations a hard opening position can get wheeled and dealed down from there. Instead, they keep pretending Trump’s trying to dictate to other countries with his opening offers. Continue reading
WILD WEST – The EASTERN ARIZONA COLLEGE GILA MONSTERS welcomed the COLLEGE OF SOUTHERN NEVADA COYOTES. At Halftime the Gila Monsters were clinging to a 39-34 advantage but after the break EAC got some separation from the Coyotes for a 96-83 win. Armari Carraway put up THIRTY points to lead the Gila Monsters. 
CENTURY CLUB – Teams scoring 100 or more in Regulation: The MONTGOMERY COLLEGE RAPTORS won a 106-74 beatdown at the COLLEGE OF SOUTHERN MARYLAND HAWKS ### Meanwhile, the ST. PETERSBURG COLLEGE TITANS eviscerated the visiting FLORIDA COLLEGE FALCONS 109-57 ### And the INDEPENDENCE COLLEGE PIRATES won 104-85 at the HUTCHINSON COLLEGE BLUE DRAGONS. 
DOC SAMSON – Leonard Samson, MD and PhD, used tightly focused Gamma Radiation drained from the Hulk himself to gain superpowers. 
SUPERBOWL XXII – The WASHINGTON REDSKINS clashed with the DENVER BRONCOS in San Diego, CA. The period of NFC dominance over the AFC continued as the Broncos saw their 10-0 1st Quarter lead over Washington turn into a 35-10 Redskins advantage by Halftime. Neither team scored in the 3rd Quarter and the final tally was Washington 42 Denver 10. 
WILDSIDE (1985) – After The Wild Wild West, The Barbary Coast and Bearcats but before The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. came this short-lived series about a secret crime-fighting group in the 1880s American West. 
HOWARD ROLLINS portrayed Bannister Sparks, who had been a demolitions man as an outlaw and retained that expertise as a crime-fighting operative. 
WILLIAM SMITH played Brodie Hollister, gunfighter extraordinaire. Hollister breeds and trains horses.
MABEL NORMAND – Born Amabel Ethelreid Normand on November 9th, 1893 in New York, this silent film comedienne blazed trails for countless subsequent actresses as well as female directors and screenwriters. Like so many silent film stars Normand is largely neglected today except for my fellow silent movie geeks and I. 
INDISCRETION OF BETTY (1910) – Mabel had her first starring role in this short drama but had appeared in an unknown number of previous films in smaller roles. Mabel played Betty, the wife in the marriage of a social-climbing couple. 
HER AWAKENING (1911) – The above-mentioned short in which Mabel caught the eye of Mack Sennett, who then signed her for comedy collaborations. In this short drama, Normand played a young lady trying to snare a successful husband. 
THROUGH HIS WIFE’S PICTURE (1911) – Mabel Normand’s first film short with Mack Sennett. He directed and had a supporting role in this 9-minute comedy about a misunderstanding that threatens a marriage. 
THE MAN IN THE BLACK CLOAK (1886) by P.T. Raymond (Francis W Doughty). Before Batman there was the Shadow. Before the Shadow there was Judex. And before Judex there was the Man in the Black Cloak, or simply the Black Cloak as I’ll call him for short. And ironically, four years before The Man in the Black Cloak was published there was simply The Man in Black, a story I will examine another time.
