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



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. 












It is time for another current events roundup from 


Watching President Trump cleaning up the cesspool of corruption in our political establishment reminds me of a much larger version of the cleanup in New York City’s police department in the 1970s following Frank Serpico’s revelations.
For another comparison remember the real-life efforts of prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino as they tried to end organized crime’s control of Sicily’s governmental figures. They were eventually assassinated after years of having the entire corrupt system against them. The non-fiction book Excellent Cadavers is a great way to familiarize yourself with them.
Even worse, Trump has made some unforced errors and lapsed into foolish distractions like the whole “51st State” nonsense with Canada. He’s still a de facto Third Party President and given the unreliability of A LOT of Congressional Republicans massive betrayal could come at any time.
