Lincoln Diaz-Balart: Reflections on the Life of a Cuban-American Exile Hardliner

1 month ago | laprogressive.com | Peter Bolton |Rob Maurer

“One should never speak ill of the dead,” so the old cliché goes about the recently deceased. Those with less inclination toward sentimentality, however, hold that this rule applies only to those who have lived a life exclusively in private and whose actions have had an effect only among their close-knit circle of family, friends, coworkers and neighbors.

Collaboration with Empire, Economic Warfare, and Immiseration of His Own People “One should never speak ill of the dead,” so the old cliché goes about the recently deceased. Those with less inclination toward sentimentality, however, hold that this rule applies only to those who have lived a life exclusively in private and whose actions have had an effect only among their close-knit circle of family, friends, coworkers and neighbors.
Media Coverage of Venezuela’s Presidential Election Normalizes US Interference

Aug 12, 2024 | venezuelanalysis.com | Peter Bolton |Roger Harris

Corporate media’s coverage of Venezuela’s July 28 presidential election is akin to an investigation of a homicide that is focused not with identifying the murderer but with an unpaid parking ticket of the victim. Likewise, the media has shifted the narrative into the minutia of electoral procedures, ignoring the much larger issue of US interference in the internal affairs of another sovereign county.

Fantastic trip, even though the football wasn't good

Peter Bolton writes his diary from Manchester United’s pre-season tour of the United States. I took an overnight flight on Friday night from West (LA) to East (Columbia) and slept the entire way. That brought me straight into Saturday, which meant match day. After arriving at the airport, I got the bus into the city centre, before missing my connection. I wasn’t waiting an hour for the next bus – so we took an Uber to the hotel!Once checked in it was time to shower and change.

It was needed after such a long day and the eight-hour time difference.
Rosenborg, Edinburgh, Chester & LA

Just 7 weeks after that wonderful final day of the 2023/24 season down at Wembley Stadium, we are off again!First up this pre-season was a game against Rosenborg in Trondheim, Norway. When I was booking the trip, I thought I would fly to Oslo and get a scenic train journey up north to Trondheim. I then found out it was a 7-hour train journey (didn’t realise Norway was so big!), so I gave that a swerve and flew from Manchester to Oslo & Oslo to Trondheim – which was just a 1-hour flight.
Trump’s Conviction Papers Over Much Bigger Crimes that He (and Every Other Recent US President) Have Committed While in Office

Jun 11, 2024 | counterpunch.org | Peter Bolton

As practically everyone on planet Earth must now know, Donald Trump has become the first former US president to be convicted of felonies after leaving office. The response to the outcome of the trial from Democrats and Republicans has been predictably binary. Democrats have been reveling in the outcome and seem to think that the trial’s conclusion has delivered a final blow to Trump’s credibility and, in turn, his chances of winning the upcoming election.
