It’s time for another current events roundup from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog.
Every time it seems that the zealots who still call themselves Democrats have sunk as low as they possibly could, they prove they are far worse than the rest of us thought. FIRST, DEMOCRATS ARE SO INSANE THEY’RE ACTUALLY BLAMING THE CALIFORNIA FIRES ON TRUMP, EVEN THOUGH HE DOESN’T RETURN TO THE PRESIDENCY UNTIL JANUARY TWENTIETH. More HERE.
SECOND, DEMOCRATS ARE SUCH REPULSIVE, HYPOCRITICAL DEMAGOGUES THAT WHILE EXPLOITING THE FIRES POLITICALLY ALL DAY EVERY DAY BY PRETENDING CLIMATE CHANGE IS TO BLAME RATHER THAN DEMOCRAT MISMANAGEMENT, THEY SIMULTANEOUSLY CLAIM ANYONE WHO CRITICIZES CALIFORNIA’S DEMOCRAT ADMINISTRATION IS “PLAYING POLITICS.”
CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS IN OFFICE IGNORED TRUMP’S WARNINGS WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT ABOUT HOW THEIR FAILURES WERE SETTING THE STAGE FOR MAMMOTH WILDFIRES. More HERE. And HERE. As always with anti-Trump loons they pretended anything Trump said MUST be wrong. Now they insanely try blaming him for them ignoring his sage advice. The Democrats at the AP got in on the act HERE.
CALLOUS AND UNCARING CAREER CRIMINAL JOE BIDEN LAUGHS AND TALKS ABOUT BECOMING A GREAT-GRANDFATHER WHEN HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ADDRESSING THE CALIFORNIA FIRES. More HERE. It’s been said that Joe Biden is nothing but a large clump of bacteria sculpted into human form. Joe is filth.
BIDEN REGIME TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE FIRE DISTRACTION TO GRANT AMNESTY TO EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND ILLEGALS. More HERE.
WITH THE FIRES ALREADY HAVING RAGED FOR DAYS, CALIFORNIA DEMOCRAT OFFICE HOLDERS STILL WASTED TIME ON THEIR ABSURD SPECIAL SESSION ABOUT “TRUMP-PROOFING” THE STATE. How about looking into fireproofing or fire management instead? Continue reading
These are the legends about Charlemagne and his Paladins, not the actual history, so there will be dragons, monsters and magic.
IF YOU WERE A TREE – The SUNY COLLEGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & FORESTRY MIGHTY OAKS welcomed the JEFFERSON COLLEGE CANNONEERS. The Mighty Oaks seized control early, leading 47-31 by Halftime and ultimately defeating the Cannoneers by a final score of 96-74. Patrick Emery led SUNY-ESF with his 27 points.
USCAA OVER D2 – The USCAA’s NEWPORT NEWS APPRENTICE SCHOOL BUILDERS (Shipbuilders) played host to NCAA Division Two’s CHEYNEY UNIVERSITY WOLVES. The Wolves led 41-38 at the midpoint but the Builders outscored them 47-34 from there for an 85-75 victory over the higher division team. Adrion Wall’s 22 points led the Apprentice School.
THE CAT – Greer Nelson caught on to a conspiracy to take over the world via armies of women clad in superpower-granting costumes. She donned the prototype and called herself the Cat before taking down the entire sinister organization.
TIGRA THE WERE-WOMAN – After the Cat’s series got canceled from low sales Marvel added Greer Nelson to their 1970s horror characters as Tigra. The Cat was mortally wounded in a battle with Hydra, but Marvel’s race of cat-people saved her life by granting her an amulet that turned her into Tigra the Were-Woman.
There are plenty of news stories that are still unfolding right now but need another few days for the figurative and literal smoke to clear. I will definitely be covering them in the days ahead. For today plenty of readers have been asking about my view of the continuing U.K. grooming gangs scandal.
ROTHERHAM REPORT OPINION (September 2nd, 2014) – “Females as young as ELEVEN were being systematically raped and groomed for further abuse by Pakistani Muslims in the U.K for years. Over FOURTEEN HUNDRED VICTIMS (Note: that was the 2014 estimate) have been referred to in just the Rotherham Report with countless other areas of the U.K. weighing in with similar accounts.”
“I DIDN’T WANT TO BE ACCUSED OF BEING ISLAMOPHOBIC” IS THE NEW “I WAS ONLY FOLLOWING ORDERS.” (September 22nd, 2014) – “The atrocities were enabled by U.K. bureaucrats, many of whom willfully ignored the complaints of the rape victims because the assailants were Muslim. Some of the bureaucrats have tried to excuse their actions (or rather their inaction) by plaintively whining that they ‘didn’t want to be accused of Islamophobia.’
As an appreciative shoutout to James Woods, one of the wildfire victims in California, here’s a Balladeer’s Blog look at 8 of his films.
VIDEODROME (1983)
BABYLON ELECTRIFIED (1888) – Written by Albert Bleunard. In the tradition of his fellow Frenchman, Jules Verne, Bleunard crafted this work of science fiction with an international cast.
EVA THE ADVENTURESS – This was the second of the novels that Nellie Bly (Elizabeth J. Cochrane) wrote between 1889 and 1895. They were considered lost until being rediscovered in 2021. 



ARREST AND TRIAL (1963-1964) – Decades before Law & Order came this forgotten television series which used one half of its 90-minute run-time to depict the police tracking down and arresting a suspect and the other half depicting the trial. Ben Gazzara, Chuck Connors and Don Galloway starred.
Arrest and Trial lasted just one season (yes, some shows did 30-episode and even 39-episode seasons back then). Audiences may have been too used to the comfort food of crime shows where they knew going in who was guilty and who was innocent. Cop shows like Dragnet always showed the police nabbing the guilty and lawyer shows like Perry Mason always showed the defendants being innocent. No such convenience on this show.
