Another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.
COURAGEOUS LINDY LI AGAIN SPEAKS OUT ON THE TRAVESTY OF UNFIT AND ILLEGIT JOE BIDEN’S SHAM PRESIDENCY. And if Democrats had their way, Biden would have still been in the White House and they would STILL be lying that Biden is “sharp as a tack.” Ignore the media sideshows about irrelevancies, THIS should be dominating the headlines and would be if the clueless Republicans knew how to use their media outlets as well as Democrats do.
AMID HUR TAPES REVELATIONS THAT BIDEN WAS TOO UNFIT TO HAVE UNDERSTOOD ANY OF “HIS” LAST-MINUTE PARDONS, CALLS EMERGE TO INVALIDATE THOSE PARDONS. More HERE. In addition to having had a corrupt, addled husk in the Oval Office, we still have no idea who was actually making decisions, including on the atrocious last-minute pardons.
BIDEN SUBORDINATE LITERALLY SCREAMED AT MEDIA OUTLET NOT TO GO WITH A TRUE STORY REGARDING JOE BIDEN’S UNFITNESS. Again, THIS needs urgent coverage. If not for Donald Trump, the thing called Joe Biden would still be getting paraded out as if he was “president” and the coverup would STILL be going on.
MOODY’S DOWNGRADED THE U.S. UNDER JOE BIDEN AND BARACK OBAMA, TOO. More HERE. But the corporate media only cares if it happens under a certain president who’s only been back in office for four months.
DEMOCRAT JAMES CLYBURN STATES HE STILL BELIEVES JOE BIDEN COULD HAVE SERVED ANOTHER FOUR YEARS. Unreal. Continue reading

The Banqueters won second prize, making it a very auspicious debut for the man often considered the greatest political satirist of the ancient world. 
MINNIE’S BOYS (1970) – HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! This year Balladeer’s Blog looks at the musical comedy Minnie’s Boys, about Minnie Marx, the mother – and show-biz manager – of the five Marx Brothers (Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Zeppo and Gummo). Actors portraying her sons co-starred and conjured up the kind of hilarious chaos you’d expect. 
Let’s face it, trying to do a straight drama about the most anarchic comedians since Edward Lear and Eugene Ionesco would have been foolish, even if their mother is the lead character, not them. The storyline in Minnie’s Boys takes Minnie and her sons from their teenage years in vaudeville to their achievement of stardom. 
For some prep as I at last get back into reviewing the surviving fragments of ancient Greek comedy every now and then, here’s my 2011 review of Demoi by Eupolis. Along with Aristophanes and Cratinus, Eupolis was one of the Big Three of Attic Old Comedy. Background info is
