Time for another current events roundup from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog.
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S RNC HEAD DISCUSSES THE BATTLE TO STOP THE BOB CASEY ANTICS IN PENNSYLVANIA. I’m happy to admit I was wrong about the RNC failing to take effective action in this case. The goal was to stop PA Democrats from trying this type of vote fraud ever again, especially after the forever-tainted 2020 election. Further proof – as if more were needed – that Democrat vote fraud that year installed Joe Biden in the White House.
RNC CHAIR MICHAEL WHATLEY ON FURTHER STEPS THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO PROTECT ELECTION INTEGRITY. Reigning in the Democrat tactic of finding “uncounted” (LMAO) votes several days after election day is certainly a must.
JOE SCARBOROUGH AND MIKA BRZEZINSKI CRAWL TO MAR-A-LAGO TO GET FORGIVENESS FROM TRUMP. He has more patience than I would have had with those two serial liars who compared him to Hitler on a regular basis. The man is open to conversations with almost anybody.
TRUMP’S DESIRED AG PUBLICLY SHAMES DEMOCRAT NANCY PELOSI AND REPUBLICAN MITCH MCCONNELL FOR INSIDER TRADING AND OTHER SCANDALS. Call it a stunt if you like, but it’s the kind of wake-up call that America’s cesspool of political corruption NEEDS.
SIXTY-FIVE PERCENT OF AMERICAN INDIANS VOTED FOR TRUMP. His first term policies were very good for them!
THE BLACK HOLE OF CORRUPTION AT THE PENTAGON CONTINUES AS IT FAILS SEVENTH AUDIT IN A ROW. Have I mentioned what a cesspool of corruption America’s political system has been for decades? Continue reading
BATTLE OF THE JAPAN SEA (1969) – Japan’s Toshiro Mifune led the cast of this Japanese film about their successful naval clashes with Russia during the often-forgotten Russo-Japanese War (February 1904 – September 1905). U.S. servicemen stationed in Japan played the Russians.
On to the film itself. Battle of the Japan Sea employs the approach that moviegoers will recall from The Longest Day, A Bridge Too Far, Midway, even Inchon and others, by having an all-star cast (in the Far East) act out set pieces throughout the scattered fighting. 
The SOUTH-WESTERN COLLEGE MOUND-BUILDERS (Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference) will host the UNIVERSITY OF ST. FRANCIS COUGARS (Mid-States Football Association). 
The DICKINSON STATE BLUE HAWKS (North Star Conference) will host the KANSAS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY COYOTES (Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference).
REEL WILD CINEMA (1996-1997) – This program is still beloved by us fans of Psychotronic movies and the So Bad It’s Good subculture. Reel Wild Cinema helped feed America’s growing appetite for bizarrely awful cinema, an appetite most recently whetted back then by Joel Hodgson’s Mystery Science Theater 3000. 
Similar to Jonathan Ross’ Incredibly Strange Film Show, Reel Wild Cinema also aired interviews with many cult figures from fringe cinema as well as campy trailers for vintage Golden Turkeys. Also like the Jonathan Ross show, Reel Wild Cinema featured an animated opening accompanied by catchy theme music. 
DOWN GOES NUMBER TEN – In NCAA Division Two the BEMIDJI STATE BEAVERS welcomed the nation’s number 10 team – the AUGUSTANA (SD) VIKINGS. A scoreless 1st Quarter was followed by a 7-0 Beavers lead at Halftime. The Vikings went up 10-7 in the 3rd Quarter but the 4th saw Bemidji State come from behind to win the game 17-10. 
EIGHTY-SIX – The NAIA’s BENEDICTINE COLLEGE RAVENS traveled to face the WILLIAM WOODS UNIVERSITY OWLS in this game. The Ravens converted their 17-0 opening Quarter lead into a 58-0 advantage by the Half. After the break Benedictine College remained perfect on defense as they coasted to an EIGHTY-SIX to NOTHING triumph.

Comment: Many of this hero’s villains were femmes fatale along the line of 
CONVERSATIONS ON THE PLURALITY OF WORLDS (1686) – Written by Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle. The author offered up some science fiction concepts that were considered real possibilities in 1686. These ideas were presented within the frame of conversations, as indicated in the full title. The conversations happened over the course of six evenings. 
NELLIE BLY (Elizabeth J. Cochrane), one of the most famous reporters in history, set forth on this date in 1889 in her well-publicized attempt to make it around the world in less than the 80 days used by Jules Verne’s fictional Phileas Fogg. She was 25 years old.
HALLELUJAH AND SARTANA … SONS OF GOD (1972) – Ron Ely played Hallelujah and Alberto Dell’Acqua was Sartana in this at best so-so Spaghetti Western. 
Sartana, on the other hand, was a long-established Spaghetti Western figure who was portrayed by plenty of other actors during the 60s and 70s. Sartana was a pro bono vigilante when he wasn’t busy at card tables across the west. 
ALL THAT GLITTERS (1977) – With the syndicated late-night soap opera satire Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman becoming a cultural phenomenon in the 1970s, Norman Lear launched this oddball, self-consciously “adult” program which added a touch of parallel world sci-fi stories to the soapiness. 
Want to see women running the business world and men serving as secretaries while getting ogled and sexually harassed? This show’s got it! Want to see a tuxedo-clad groom carrying flowers and walking down the aisle toward his intended bride? This show’s got it!
