More current events from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog, here in an America where the Kamala Harris Regime is forcing American Veterans to repay some disability payouts while letting illegal immigrants stay at posh hotels and get pre-paid debit cards paid for by taxpayers.
ATTEMPTS TO STOP DEMOCRATS FROM LETTING NON-CITIZENS VOTE IN THE ELECTION ARE FAILING. One side wants it more. But it IS amazing that even Europe, which Democrats so often point to as politically wonderful, requires Voter I.D. for their elections.
NEW JERSEY SOCCER COACH INDICTED FOR SEXTING AND MOLESTING PLAYERS AS YOUNG AS ELEVEN YEARS OLD. Democrats, can you please leave children alone?
THE TALIBAN CELEBRATES THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIDEN-HARRIS REGIME’S DISASTROUS WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN BY PARADING THE MILITARY HARDWARE THAT BIDEN AND HARRIS LEFT FOR THEM. More HERE.
THE TALIBAN HAS MADE LIFE HELL FOR WOMEN IN AFGHANISTAN. And gutless, privileged white Democrat poseurs in Handmaid’s Tale costumes are silent about it.
CHICAGO BUSINESSES BOARD UP THEIR WINDOWS OVER FEAR OF WHAT THE DEMOCRAT MOBS WILL DO DURING THEIR CONVENTION NEXT WEEK. Democrats combine the worst of Fascism and organized crime. Let’s hope that “mostly peaceful” fires and murders are kept to a minimum.
DR. BEN CARSON: DEMOCRATS OWN THE HOUSING CRISIS CAUSED BY THEIR FLOOD OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
THE DEMOCRATS AT NPR PROVE ONCE AGAIN THAT PEOPLE WHO PRETEND TO BE “FACT CHECKING” ARE REALLY JUST EXPRESSING THEIR OWN OPINIONS ABOUT WHY THEY THINK A STATEMENT IS “UNTRUE”. They pretended to find 162 such statements in one recent opposition leader interview. Uh. Yeah. Right. And the Trump campaign could, I’m sure, find even MORE “untrue” statements in Kamala Harris speeches (she still refuses to DO interviews).
Apparently, NPR Democrats would consider debates on any given subject “battles of lies vs facts” because they pretend The Party’s talking points are “facts” and any deviation from Democrat talking points must be untrue. Grow up, Democrats. What you do is offer REBUTTALS, not “fact checks.”
And for Sharyl Attkisson’s article exposing the biases and lies of “fact checkers” (LMAO) click HERE. Also – RELATED. Continue reading
THE AIR BATTLE: A VISION OF THE FUTURE (1859) – Written by an unknown author using the name Herrmann Lang. (Ignore the misspelling on the cover to the left.) Speculation has it that the author was British despite the German pseudonym and despite the narrator’s claim that he is a black man. 
THE SHEIK (1921) – Edith Maude Hull’s 1919 novel came to the big screen to cement Rudolph Valentino’s rising star. He shone as Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan with Agnes Ayers as Lady Diane Mayo.
A lot of Gothic Romance Novel antics follow in this film that has not aged well. Valentino’s wide eyes and flaring nostrils were masterfully parodied by Peter Sellers in a comedy bit decades later. 
As their battle of wills goes on, Diane is seized by caravan robbers and taken to their leader’s lair. Sheik Ahmed leads his men to the rescue, and, with Stockholm Syndrome well and truly in charge, Lady Diane “realizes” how much she has fallen in love with her abductor.
Yet another current events roundup from 
SAN DIEGO FLEET 
ORLANDO APOLLOS 
DECOY (1957-1958) – Nobody doesn’t like Beverly Garland! For decades, she was a pleasant presence in B-movies and television. Here’s the very first tv show about a female cop, with Beverly pitch-perfect as a tough, savvy undercover policewoman. 
NOTE: Frank Campanella is sometimes listed as her “co-star” but actually he played a different character in each of the 3 episodes he appeared in. 
The GOLDEN STATE VALKYRIES, sponsored by the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, will debut in May of 2025. Their colors will be violet and black, and their home games will be played at the Chase Center in San Francisco. 
This weekend’s light-hearted, escapist superhero post from Balladeer’s Blog will look at the stories in which Marvel’s licensed toy I.P. the Micronauts interacted with established Marvel characters. My look at the early Micronauts stories can be found 
MICRONAUTS Vol 1 #15 (March 1980) 
Meanwhile, back in the Microverse/ Quantum Realm we join the current roster of the Micronauts – Commander Arcturus Rann, Princess Marionette, Bug, Acroyear, the roboids (Biotron and Microtron), Cilicia (Acroyear’s wife, at right) and Jasmine (Bug’s girlfriend). The escaped Psycho-Man shows up in his vessel which dwarfs their own, called the HMS Endeavor.
