Lea DeLaria, known for her role as "Big Boo" on Netflix's "Orange Is the New Black," has sparked significant controversy with her recent comments on Instagram. On July 2, 2024, DeLaria demanded that President Joe Biden assassinate former President Donald Trump. The actress also made a disparaging remark about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, adding fuel to the fire. DeLaria's post quickly drew widespread condemnation. Her remarks are seen as a dangerous escalation of political rhetoric, crossing the line from free speech to incitement of violence. This kind of language is particularly alarming given the current polarized political climate in the United States, where threats against public figures have become increasingly common. This "woman" (Lea DeLaria) pleaded for the assassination of former President Trump. Remember what that moron Kathy Griffin did back in 2017? Who else agrees that she should be charged by the DOJ, and demonized by every MAGA patriot in this country? pic.twitter.com/WtcRj51YfE — The Unwoke Clown (@ClownUnwoke) July 3, 2024 Republican leaders and Trump supporters have been vocal in their criticism. They argue that such statements not only endanger lives but also undermine the principles of democratic discourse. They emphasize that regardless of political differences, advocating for violence against political opponents is unacceptable and must be condemned by all sides. The backlash against DeLaria is not limited to conservative circles. Many liberals and members of the entertainment community have also distanced themselves from her comments. They recognize the potential harm such rhetoric can cause and stress the importance of maintaining civility in political discussions. Caution… languageThere better be a knock on her door VERY soon. You CANNOT say this about an ex-president. These people are UNHINGED!!!! Watch — ‘Orange Is the New Black’ Star Lea DeLaria Begs Biden to Assassinate Trump: ‘Blow Him Up’https://t.co/0vkjMXHJfq — Determined Truth (@CharlynnMuehle) July 3, 2024 This incident highlights a broader issue of increasing hostility in political dialogue. The use of extreme language and threats has become more prevalent, and there is a growing concern about its impact on society. Political leaders and public figures are urged to set a better example and promote respectful discourse, even when dealing with contentious issues. In response to the outcry, some have called for social media platforms to take action against DeLaria for violating community standards. There is a debate over how to balance free speech with the need to prevent incitement to violence, with some advocating for stricter enforcement of rules against hate speech and threats. DeLaria's comments come at a time when public trust in political institutions and figures is already fragile. Incidents like these only serve to deepen divisions and hinder efforts to foster constructive conversations about the future of the country. As the 2024 election approaches, it is crucial for all Americans to remember the importance of respectful dialogue and the dangers of allowing heated rhetoric to escalate into calls for violence. Ensuring a safe and democratic process requires vigilance and a commitment to upholding the values of free speech, tempered with responsibility and respect for all individuals, regardless of their political affiliations.

As a forefather of prog-rock with Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and an AOR veteran with Asia, drummer Carl Palmer has traversed all levels of the music scene for over a 50-year career. While he had toured with Arthur Brown and was a founding member of Atomic Rooster, Palmer first made an indelible mark as a member of prog rock titans Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Quirky time signatures, iconic records, and memorable – yet sprawling – cuts were the defining characteristics of the legendary London band, and when it comes to prog rock, the 1970s were indeed theirs. But as the The post Carl Palmer Of ELP & Asia: The ClassicRockHistory.com Interview appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

By Daniela Gonzalez Here comes the rain again. This is not just the title of a popular song. It is a metaphor that implies what we are watching on the horizon towards those dark clouds coming up. If you want to know what really happened to Venezuela, read on. For many of you who do not know the history of this part of the Americas, the actual looting and crisis we live in Venezuela is rooted in Cuban rule. There are other factors to blame, but the major force sustaining the repressive apparatus is the spying structure on our Armed Forces. Our military has paid a high price when they tried to exert their right to rebellion. Names like Caguaripano Scott and Cap. Rafael Acosta Arevalo (tortured to death with the most medieval beatings and methods) are quite uncomfortable for the troupe of sadistic torturers, now trying to make themselves look to the international media like innocent, law-abiding men. The reality is far from that: they torture and execute rebels within the military world. The military intelligence for over ten years subjected civilians to military trials, keeping them in military prisons. The only way that the uniformed elite could keep their society under control is by paying the mercenaries with one hand and manipulating the brain-washed true believers with the other hand. The number of believers is decreasing day after day, progressively taking their loyalty with them. This is happening both in Cuba and Venezuela. That elite secured a steady supply of oil for themselves to make huge profits in exchange for the protection and spying on the Venezuelan military and society. Whoever thought this was a “democracy” where “liberals” took the power, I am sure that are now watching how that weekly paycheck is not enough under the current WH residents…and barely starting to understand how things are with those international criminal gangs. We did not necessarily vote for this. There was enough resistance, but it was crushed by the blackmailing of the Socialist Party organization in the barrios, denying healthcare and access to food subsidizing programs like the so-called CLAP (a huge scamming and money laundering scheme) to the dissidents or those daring to disobey…and the execution or disappearance in the dungeons of the despotic Maduro rule. That “justice” application has been the standard for many years now, only really messing with “The Party” members when they are not useful anymore or as a propagandistic event to deceive the masses. They arrived at power using the democratic path and then demolished every institution, eliminating the sacred power separation that is the base of democracy. The same is happening in other countries, like Spain. They criminalized every mechanism that could take them down and prosecute ferociously those they identify as a threat. This happened again and again in the Eastern European communist satellite republics. There is a video by a Venezuelan Journalist, Nitu Perez Osuna, informing that the recent arrival of a Putin warship was because most of their security and armed forces will go to Venezuela to sabotage the election process to keep Maduro in power, and they were desperate to avoid losing control of the island. Then, they devilishly deploy armed mercenaries on foreign soil, those who do not care about my nation’s lives; they are paid to keep society under despotic rule with boots and guns. This will be a decisive election, and there are many ways that it can go sideways. This will not be tolerated, though, and we expect a lot of turmoil. The ruling faction is still trying to escape unharmed, even with the International Criminal Court sentences pending over their heads. It seems now that the window for that is now closed, and they know it. My impression is that they´re going to promote a real disaster like the country hasn´t witnessed since the late 1800s, and spread a terror war to suffocate the dissidency as much as possible, getting as many hostages as they can in prison to be used later as bargain chips. There are other people also thinking about this same scenario. We prep as we can but it’s far harder now. We have some vinegar, rags, bandages, and medical material stashed away, just in case the riots on the streets start over and tear gas spreads once again to our apartment, too close to the center of the city. There is not too much to do other than storing water and some non-perishables, and some basic materials such as cheap packaging tape to seal doors and windows. You know already what our escape plan is if things get hairy, if you read my previous article. With most of the young people who fought on the street battles back in the lapse from 2014-on already out of the country (fleeing away from further prosecution and plain execution), it is unlikely that serious resistance can be done in the demonstrations…but now there are millions of people of all ages. And that was precisely what the ruling gang was afraid of. We already lost the fear, and the Machado leadership brought a new hope of change. In the videos, you can listen to people ask her, “Please, make my sons and daughters come back from abroad” almost on the verge of hysteria. That level of hope is incredibly dangerous for the controlling faction who already lost the hearts of the people long ago. And they know it. The general sentiment on the streets (other than the economy being so sluggish) is that the change is imminent. Whatever the ruling gang tries to do, it will be an explosion. The people do not want them in power anymore, and they know it. These are dangerous days. I do not even care writing about what is happening because any attempt to silence somebody will face thousands of people willing to fight. It already happened. Snapshot of the day-to-day However, there are immediate needs to be solved. The daily cost of living is not greater than a couple of years ago. Prices haven´t gone too high and hyperinflation seems to be something that won´t repeat anytime soon. The real difficulty is finding a profitable activity. Most of the people within my friendships and acquaintances circle unfold in the healthcare area, including dental and mental health. This is a good bonus because will allow free passage to our haven if things get that bad. Since my last article, I could send a couple of boxes with a few more preps: flourn(cornmeal and wheat) in glass jars to protect from mice, brown sugar, and spices: cinnamon, ginger, a couple of honey bottles, and some salty fish. I already left some yeast, but the storage shed is hot, and heat can affect it. I can feel the tension in everyone´s looks. I try to avoid talking to my loved ones, but I know they are highly concerned, too. As time goes by, it is more and more evident that the overwhelming support the real right wing (represented by the Gonzalez Urrutia and Machado alliance) is raising will bring along an armed conflict: the international commie gang won´t let go of this occupied land so easily. The Long-term Picture Anyone believing this was a “democratic process” since Madman Hugo took over the presidency is naive and gullible. This was an orchestrated power-grabbing, geopolitically decided occupation process to build military bases of the Axis of Evil (Iran/Russia/China/NK) to threaten the Americas. Not only the US and its formidable financial structure, but the vast resources of Brazil and the South. That is the target they´re looking to exploit after they secure Taiwan and their control over the Southern Seas. The commercial BRICS treaty is no other than an attempt to establish a side alliance to weaken the dollar. The fall of Venezuela was only a small part of the whole plot. Establishing the last technology in anti-air weaponry and literally spreading it all over the country was one of the goals they successfully achieved. According to the actual propaganda, any “intervention” could be “repelled” using this advanced weaponry. All these environmental variables were involved in the equation because they needed a rich country they could loot to afford the expansion and support the activities that would lately undermine the USA’s strong position. This support would be in exchange for security teams and safe havens for their stolen money and relatives once they must flee (which can happen in a few more months). This was NOT a case of “politicians” and their misbehavior. It was carefully designed to kick our society to a dark place forever, just like they did with the satellites of the deceased USSR. Installing a totalitarian rule in one of the most prominent and rich countries in the South of the American continent, with a deep-water harbor able to receive air carriers, is a prize that the evil anti-American alliances crave. Anybody should see this at this point of things after China sent military equipment to suffocate the popular rebellions from 2014 on, and Russia flooded our economy with cash dollars to instate a defacto, non-declared dollarization and stabilization of the economy, after destroying most of the national industry to facilitate their money laundering activities instead, with the importing of all sort of goods that were once produced locally, like autoparts, and some household whiteline apparatus. The rain is coming. The storm will be something to behold. What are your thoughts? Were you aware of all the machinations that were involved with the takeover of Venezuela and her resources? Do you think the people will be able to fight back successfully? What do you think it will take for a real change to occur? Let’s discuss it in the comments section.

Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame recently told CNN views that people close to President Joe Biden — people “who loved him, have supported him, and among them are some people who would raise a lot of money for him” — say his disastrous debate performance wasn’t a “one-off.” There have been, according to insiders, “15, 20 occasions in the last year and a half when the president has appeared somewhat as he did in that horror show that we witnessed.” Yeah, we know. All of us saw the horror show in a bunch of videos you hacks kept telling us was “misinformation” a week ago. Last month, CNN’s Oliver Darcy attacked the “glaring problems” of a well-sourced Wall Street Journal piece detailing a litany of Biden’s slips. Not long before the first presidential debate, CNN ran another piece headlined “Right-wing media outlets use deceptively cropped video to misleadingly claim Biden wandered off at G7 summit.” Before the debate, NBC News senior politics reporter Alex Seitz-Wald ran an article headlined “Misleading GOP videos of Biden are going viral. The fact-checks have trouble keeping up.” In it, Seitz-Wald regurgitates most of the White House’s transparently ridiculous talking points about videos that very accurately illustrated Biden’s mental and physical decline. On the same day, David Ingram of NBC News — a network that doesn’t get nearly enough credit for its hackery — published a piece headlined “The deceptive Biden G7 video was quickly debunked, but it kept going viral anyway.” It was a full-court press. The New York Times pre-debate headline was “Biden Battles Age Doubts and a Trail of Misleading Videos.” The Washington Post activated its fact-checkers to show us “How Republicans used misleading videos to attack Biden in a 24-hour period.” It was a concerted effort to hide the truth. What was democracy-corroding MAGA misinformation only a couple of weeks ago has miraculously been transformed into the accepted narrative of virtually the entire political media. It is an act of preternatural shamelessness on their part. And not one journalist involved is going to explain how it happened. In fact, I’ve seen many left-wingers contend that the press’s reporting on Biden’s struggles only goes to prove they aren’t really as biased as we think. Which is a ludicrous assertion to make after gaslighting efforts already failed. After the debate, there was no more pretending that examples of Biden’s fragility and mental slips were GOP dirty tricks. What else were they going to do? The president is incapable of putting on a press conference right now. He is unable to speak coherently and spontaneously. They all knew exactly what was going on. They’ve known from the time they insulated him during the 2020 campaign. Indeed, now the media is just doing the bidding of Democrats who want to remove the president to beat Donald Trump. Nothing has changed. Take Politico, one of the worst offenders in the Biden-decline cover-up. It’s now turned into a mouthpiece for a new cause. “We’ve all enabled the situation,” sources within Biden’s “inner sanctum” suddenly tell Politico. (Where were they last week?) “It’s like, ‘You can’t include that, that will set him off,’ or ‘Put that in, he likes that.’ It’s a Rorschach test, not a briefing Because he is not a pleasant person to be around when he’s being briefed. It’s very difficult, and people are scared s–tless of him. … He doesn’t take advice from anyone other than those few top aides, and it becomes a perfect storm because he just gets more and more isolated from their efforts to control it.” Is any of this new? Because anyone who’s followed Biden’s 40-plus-year career knows he’s been an unpleasant blowhard with a middling intellect. Just watch the videos of the Clarence Thomas hearing or Joe going off on a reporter who asked him a legitimate question about his educational background. No doubt, his crankiness has been exacerbated by age. Let’s not forget, either, that the establishment media also helped create this rehabilitative mythology around Middle Class Joe, the patriarch of a shady political family who is just as likely to rent a 12,000-square-foot home for $20,000 a month as he is to take Amtrak. Just like the Hunter Biden laptop incident, like the freakouts over every lost Supreme Court decision, like the concocted “ethics” problems of Supreme Court justices, like the entire Russia collusion hoax, the Biden cover-up is rationalized in the name of decency. Most of the big-money political media have internalized the notion that their duty lies not to the truth but to upholding “democracy” — a malleable concept that can be roughly translated to mean anything Calvinball Democrats decide on any given day. And that allows them to seamlessly shift from one dishonest partisan operation to the next.

Lying is certainly nothing new in politics. It is said that prostitution is the world’s oldest profession, but politics is assuredly the dirtiest — filthier even than garbageman, mortician or, well, the world’s oldest profession itself. Former President Bill Clinton (while we’re on the topic of sexual promiscuity) perjured himself, leading to his impeachment. Former President Barack Obama, in what PolitiFact called its 2013 “Lie of the Year,” promised that “if you like your health care plan, you can keep it.” And on and on it goes. The corporate media, whose 21st-century raison d’etre is propping up the Regime Party (Democrats) and punishing the Deplorable Party (Republicans), often joins the fray. The Russia-collusion delusion disinformation operation was laundered by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign to seedy “intelligence” firm Fusion GPS and law firm Perkins Coie LLP. For years, the corporate media then dutifully pushed the false narrative. Indeed, it is unclear to this day whether MSNBC has ever read the Mueller report. But after last Thursday’s CNN presidential debate in Atlanta, in which President Joe Biden delivered a catastrophic performance for the ages, there is only one conclusion: The yearslong effort by Biden administration flunkies, Democratic Party poohbahs and pro-Regime media stenographers to forcefully deny Biden’s obvious physical and mental decline will go down as the single greatest lie in American history. And what an assiduous effort it was. For years, Democrats and the corporate media lied through their teeth about the blatant decline of the president’s physical and mental faculties. When Biden fell off a stationary bicycle in 2022, handlers brushed it off as no big deal. When Biden started wearing funny-looking tennis sneakers instead of dress shoes, presumably in order to stabilize his gait and prevent debilitating falls, aides informed us that Biden was just embracing a certain sartorial savviness. When former Special Counsel Robert Hur declined to pursue charges against Biden due to the fact he “would likely present himself to a jury … as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” media apparatchiks denounced Hur as a “Trump plant” in the Justice Department. (Where is Hur’s apology?) After multiple videos emerged of Biden freezing, staring and wandering off, The New York Times called them “misleading”; the Biden White House dismissed them as “cheap fakes.” The Wall Street Journal’s recent story in which reporters interviewed 45 officials who expressed concern about Biden’s senescence was excoriated as a “hit job.” All along the way, costly “gaffes” — such as Biden inadvertently calling for regime change in Moscow during a March 2022 visit to Warsaw — were simply chalked up to Uncle Joe being Uncle Joe. How dare you question hardscrabble Joe from Scranton: nothing to see here! Anything — anything — to prevent the American people from learning the truth. Axios reported last Friday how “close aides have carefully shielded (Biden) from people inside and outside the White House since the beginning of his presidency.” For Democrats and their media enablers, there can be no stone left unturned to protect their precious. The ends always justify the means, after all, just as Saul Alinsky taught. The media’s hubris in thinking it could get away with this is astounding. Biden is the president of the United States. His decline wasn’t exactly a state secret, at least for anyone with functioning eyes and ears. This column two years ago, in lamenting Biden’s “indications of a palpable senility,” concluded that “[t]here is something very, very clearly wrong with the president of the United States.” Really, just how stupid do Democrats and the corporate media think we are? How long did they think they could get away with this gaslighting operation? A Gallup poll last October revealed that 32% of Americans trust the corporate media either “a great deal” or “a fair amount.” That seems far too high. These hacks deserve nothing but disgust and contempt. Nor has the persistent media gaslighting for the past two to three years been a victimless crime. The collective victim is us: all of us. America is wildly insecure under the “leadership” of Biden. Xi Jinping is sure to move on Taiwan before year’s end. Who knows what Xi’s friends, from Pyongyang to Moscow to Tehran, might do. Who will stop them, after all? The ultimate irony of it all? The massive lie and disinformation operation to obfuscate the president’s decline has been perpetrated in the name of — you guessed it — “our democracy.” The chutzpah! “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” reads The Washington Post’s masthead slogan, conveniently adopted mere weeks after former President Donald Trump took office in 2017. Come again? We don’t actually know who is running the country right now. It certainly isn’t Uncle Joe. Now that is some serious “darkness.” Never forgive, and never forget, what these lying miscreants have done to us — and to the republic.
