Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog presents another current events roundup.
PRESIDENT TRUMP VS AMERICA’S CESSPOOL OF CORRUPTION – CLEANING OUT THE BIDEN REGIME’S POLITICAL OPERATIVES IN U.S. ATTORNEY POSITIONS. The Democrats did a stealth-revert to their Spoils System through their politicized hiring practices.
D.O.G.E. SAVINGS TRACKER PROVIDES UPDATED TOTALS OF THE WASTE THEY HAVE ELIMINATED FROM THE WASHINGTON DC SWAMP. And more HERE.
REVEALED: JOE BIDEN WAS USING THE IRS TO TARGET HIS POLITICAL ENEMIES EVEN ON HIS WAY OUT THE DOOR. And I will mention again that anti-Trump fascists who insisted on seeing years’ worth of his tax returns (which proved he did nothing wrong, by the way) don’t want such tax return transparency applied to the rest of America’s elected figures. And I think we all know why.
SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION DUFFY EXPOSES THE MESS OF UNFILLED AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER POSITIONS THAT THE BIDEN REGIME LEFT UNFIXED FOR FOUR YEARS. As we all witnessed, if Biden couldn’t make money off a situation he ignored it.

BESS THE DETECTRESS – Bess Meredyth was a silent film starlet, writer and director. This particular blog post will focus on her Bess the Detectress character at Universal Studios but in the future Balladeer’s Blog will cover other aspects of her life and career.
BESS THE DETECTRESS IN THE OLD MILL AT MIDNIGHT (Jun 1914) – The first short in the Bess the Detectress series. When the stage show she was performing in closes as a flop, Bess is left scrambling for her next meal. She spots a Wanted poster offering a reward of $200.00 (equal to $6,300 in 2025) for the capture of the male outlaw Honey Hall.
FIRST, I AM DOING WHAT ANY SUCH LIST COMPILER SHOULD DO IF THEY ARE TRYING TO BE AS OBJECTIVE AS POSSIBLE: I am omitting the most recent presidents because of the way emotion (and hysteria in some cases) can color perceptions of them. Presidential rankings lists which go all the way up to the present year are used simply as partisan political propaganda, not as true assessments.

CASABLANCA (1942) – Happy Valentine’s Day! A few readers of Balladeer’s Blog have asked me for my opinion on this classic movie so I figured Valentine’s Day was the perfect opportunity.
Getting back to Casablanca, it’s possibly the greatest “bittersweet ending” romantic flick ever made. I find that it appeals to almost everyone. If you’re young and naïve it can make you ache at the thought of persevering despite your broken heart. If you’re older and cynical it makes you nostalgic for a time when you actually thought a broken heart was the worst thing that could happen to you.
And yes, I mean that no matter who the president is or which party they’re from. If lower courts make decisions ordering THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH to cease actions immediately then it should mean that UNTIL THE SUPREME COURT WEIGHS IN ON THE SITUATION the president’s orders stand, not the other way around.

ASTREA – One of the most enigmatic figures from the Silent Film Era. No precise birth or death dates are known. Her surname was supposedly Barbieri but not even that is certain.
JUSTITIA (1919) – Astrea’s most well-known movie. She plays a prim, ladylike noblewoman who becomes a fiery, two-fisted champion of justice when need be.
