The Invaders: Ringside Report The Twilight Zone Review
July 29th, 2020 
Bad Brad
By William Kozy
As always, I thank the Twilight Zone fan page members on Facebook and writers who participated in my survey in which I ask, “What is your favorite episode of the original Twilight Zone series?” “The Invaders” have taken over 15th place with 135 votes thus far. Apparently, this was Rod Serling’s favorite episode from an outside writer.
“To Tell or Not to Tell, That Is The Question: Invisible Disabilities and Those Who Have Them”
July 29th, 2020 Bad Brad
By Jo-Ann “Jo D NL” Duke
A few days ago, I was reading an article by Kristen “Super Crip” Milefchik, titled “The Quality of My Life Is Mine Alone to Decide”; she is one of my fellow feature writers on Ringside Report and she happens to be an amazing writer. Go and read it, it is definitely worth doing so.
It got me thinking about the similarities and differences of people who suffer either from a visible disability or in many cases, an invisible disability. Now, obviously, a visible disability is one that is apparent to other people immediately.
Invisible, or hidden, disabilities are real and medically confirmed conditions, just like visible disabilities; however, they are not easily seen, or known, by other people when they look at, or talk to the person who has such a condition.

Social Media Influencer BrooklynDad_Defiant! Walking the Walk and Talking The Talk!
July 28th, 2020 Bad Brad
While many find themselves hunkered down under coronavirus “Shelter in Place” rules, and listening to occasional coronavirus briefings, many readers have found a distraction to put smiles on their faces and laughs in their bellies: President Donald Trump.
Or, to be more precise, a hilarious political humor book titled “The Liddle’est President” is formatted as a children’s book, but is meant for adults. The book includes engaging, beautiful full-color illustrations and a story-telling voice to document the rise of a “Liddle” version of the President, and tracks his improbable rise…and eventual fall.
The book was written and published by first-time author and Social Media influencer Majid M. Padellan, who has grown a Twitter audience of over 590,000 followers with his biting daily critiques of the President. He is known as “BrooklynDad_Defiant!” on the platform. Padellan also met his wife on Twitter, who moved to America with her 2 children from New Zealand to form their new family.
MSNBC Commentator Malcolm Nance wrote “Go get yourself a copy NOW. It is freaking HILARIOUS. I absolutely loved it! Buy it for your kids as a scary bedtime story.”

Doctor Curmudgeon® To Stream or Not To Stream
July 28th, 2020 Bad Brad
By Diane Batshaw Eisman, M.D. FAAP Doctor Eisman, is in Family Practice in Aventura, Florida with her partner, Dr. Eugene Eisman, an internist/cardiologist
The sharp persistent buzz of a beeper message awakened Doctor Curmudgeon’s cell phone. Grabbing her alarm clock first, she stared at its face. 10AM! Who or what could possibly be bothering her at this hour!
With the office temporarily closed, she had taken to advance her usual awakening time from 6:15 to 10:46. This was quite a natural and logical happening as she had always been a “night owl.” And now, left to her own devices, a normal bedtime would occur naturally between 1:15AM and 1:45AM.
Checking the message: “Please call your patient. He did not leave a name. He said you knew his name. He was gracious enough to leave a number and He said it is not urgent but he needs to know something today. With apologies from your loyal answering service. His number is…..”
For those who know the good doctor, a message of that ilk is not a great way to start her day. A debate ensued between the alarm clock and the physician.

The New Precedent of American Politics
July 27th, 2020 Bad Brad
By Nikki Slusher
In the last week, more scandals and court cases have come rolling in like clockwork. Between misappropriating taxpayer dollars, senseless use of the Justice Department for personal vendettas, and flippant adjudications to enhance the President’s political gain it almost seems as if the federal government is unrecognizable from the one we knew only a few years ago. What we have seen is a complete transformation in the paradigm our former President’s and their administrations followed for over two centuries. Now we are seeing other officials close to the President replicating his behaviors which leaves us wondering, “is this the new precedent being established through this era of American politics?”
A Canadian View On The US: The Rose Garden Ramblings of Donald Trump
July 27th, 2020 Bad Brad
By Jo-Ann “Jo D NL” Duke
Hi, it’s me again, your friendly Canadian observer, back again with a look at the many varied ramblings in the Rose Garden of your president, Donald Trump on July 14, 2020; as they were made during his speech about the executive orders for Hong Kong and China. However the purpose of the briefing quickly went off the rails, after he quickly mentioned his executive orders.
For about an hour, he began to rant, vent, and ramble. He flipped back and forth between topics that had nothing to do with the reason given for the briefing including the Coronavirus, China, Joe Biden, school reopening, etc. After he announced the executive orders, he just rambled. as he just went from one topic to another, and then back again multiple times.

Spoiler Alert: While this is not an official fight report, the results of the main card will be discussed.

Playing Professional Baseball In the Year of Covid-19
July 27th, 2020 Bad Brad
By James “Giacomo” Gatto
Play Ball! The home plate umpire didn’t need to shout. There was no one In the stands. Only 60 players or so, two managers, a few bench coaches on each team, and four umpires. Apart from the cameraman and a few other technicians, there were no ‘civilians.” This is the new era in baseball–at least for 2020. So, what’s it look like? How is this going to play out to the baseball fan? How are the players going to respond? What is this new version of our nation’s oldest and most beloved game? That remains to be seen, but after watching opening day these are my thoughts.
The History of High Blood Pressure
July 27th, 2020 Bad Brad
By Eugene H. Eisman, MD FACP
When your doctor tells you your blood pressure, he gives you two numbers. Let’s say he tells you that your blood pressure is excellent and is 120/80. What do these numbers mean? Well the 120 is in millimeters, the pressure developed when your heart contracts. It is called the systolic pressure. So what is the “80?” Your blood vessels are not like steel pipes, they are more like rubber tubing. When the blood at 120 mm meets your blood vessels, they balloon up (if they are healthy), and the pressure drops to 80. The 80 is called the diastolic pressure.
Fight Like Disability Activists Do!
July 27th, 2020 Bad Brad
By Kristen “Super Crip” Milefchik
As an American citizen today, I’m not sure what disaster I’m more terrified of – COVID-19 ravaging the country or Trump’s authoritarian takeover. My nightmares are equally haunted by refrigerated trucks filled with the overflow of COVID-19 infected corpses and camouflaged federal agents shooting massive “non-lethal” projectiles straight into the faces of innocent civilians. Even trying to form the words to write about it is a struggle because my mind wants to shut down to guard from such horrific thoughts. Yet… here we are. It’s July of 2020 in the United States of America and I’m shielding my emotions from contemplating the ensuing civil war, which may have already begun but simply hasn’t been given an official declaration.
