Stephen Miller’s latest culture-war rant about a “self-loathing” America was swamped by online backlash, as critics lined up to credit immigrants with America’s biggest leaps. Miller, 40, Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy and hardliner immigration czar, fired off a late-night X post on Sunday, complaining that the modern world does not match “what our ancestors imagined” because America and the West supposedly spent generations in...

Released in 1925, Don Q, Son of Zorro is a sequel to Douglas Fairbank’s very successful The Mark of Zorro released in 1920. Fairbanks plays dual roles of Don Diego de Vega (Zorro) and his son, Don César de Vega. Sent by his father to Spain for his education, César falls in love with Dolores and owing to his prowess with the whip and sword, gains favor with the Spanish court and a visiting Austrian archduke. When the archduke is assassinated by one of the queen's guards Don César is accused and the only witness to the murder refuses to clear him. To gain time to unmask the real criminals César feigns suicide, and with the help of his father (Zorro), who arrives in Spain from California, succeeds proving his innocence and capturing the real murderer.
Silent movies were never really silent....they were almost always shown with live music which helped set the mood for the various scenes. Most movies never had an "official" score and for those that did the scores were usually just compilations of existing music - extracts from operas, classical standards or generic photoplay music written for film accompaniment. Don Q, Son of Zorro was the rare exception, Douglas Fairbanks once again commissioned Mortimer Wilson to compose a score of entirely original music for the New York premier in 1925 (he had previously commissioned Wilson to compose the score for The Thief of Bagdad in 1924 – that movie, with the Mortimer Wilson score, is available here:
https://youtu.be/Sst8YrG9zyo
This is the complete film with the original published score composed by Mortimer Wilson in 1925. Instrument parts include Flute, Oboe, 2 Clarinets, Bassoon, 2 French Horns, 2 Trumpets, 2 Trombones, Tympani & Percussion, Harp, and Strings. This score was used by orchestras in large theatres throughout the country during its release.
Public domain note: All motion pictures made and exhibited in the United States before 1926 are indisputably in the public domain. This date will move forward one year, every year, meaning that films released in 1926 will enter the public domain on New Year's Day 2022, films from 1927 on New Year's Day 2023, and so on. This public domain status also applies to the music composed by Mortimer Wilson in 1925 for this feature.

Trey Gowdy thought he could help Trump by asking Former CIA Chief John Brennan about the Russia investigation. He thought wrong. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. http://www.tytnetwork.com/join
"During a House Intelligence Committee Hearing on Tuesday, former CIA Director John Brennan confirmed he’s aware of communications between the Trump campaign and Russian officials that sparked concern about possible collusion.
Brennan declined to get into details, saying that specifics about the people involved and what was said remain classified. But he said he “encountered and am aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between Russian officials and U.S. persons involved in the Trump campaign that I was concerned about because of known Russian efforts to suborn such individuals, and it raised questions in my mind whether or not the Russians were able to gain the cooperation of those individuals.”
That “information and intelligence,” Brennan added, led to the FBI’s counterintelligence probe of the Trump campaign, which began in July 2016.”*

Lyrics:
The veil is torn, the heavens cry,
Golden wings eclipse the sky.
Trumpets call from realms of light,
To judge the world they once held tight.
Through clouds of ash, they fall in grace,
Stars reflected in each face.
No mortal tongue can speak their hymn,
The dawn begins — the end within.
We are the fire, the sword, the flame,
Sent to recall the lost by name.
Rise or fall, the choice is thin —
Behold the Descent of the Seraphim.
Cities tremble, empires fade,
Old gods weep where idols laid.
The earth itself begins to sing,
Of judgment borne on silver wing.
Light divine, yet sorrowed deep,
For those they vowed they could not keep.
Their tears ignite the darkened rim —
The sky ignites with Seraphim.
We are the fire, the sword, the flame,
Sent to recall the lost by name.
Rise or fall, the choice is thin —
Behold the Descent of the Seraphim.
No mercy in the morning glare,
No promise left within the prayer.
The world below forgot their hymn —
Now they remember Seraphim.
We are the fire, the sword, the flame,
Cleansing hearts yet bound by shame.
Rise or fall, the light grows dim —
And heaven burns with Seraphim.

Celia Cruz, in one of her earliest TV appearances (likely late teens or early twenties), sings "Ogguere," an Afro song composed by Gilberto Valdés. According to Rosa Marquetti Torres, author of "Celia en Cuba 1925-1962," this performance may have been with the Symphonic Orchestra of Enrique González Mántici. The recording likely took place between 1945-1949 on the program "Momento Afro Cubano" presented by La Emisora Mil Diez, a radio station owned by the Popular Socialist Party. This rare footage offers a glimpse into Celia's early career and her connection to Cuban music history.
DEEPER IN :
Following the entry of the Soviet Union in the war against Germany the Cuban communists re-emerged as a legal political party, the PSP. The party purchased Radio Lavín and converted it into Radio Mil Diez in 1943.[he first broadcast was made on April 1, 1943.The name reflected the dial sign (1010). Decades later, as the Cuban Revolution raged in 1960, Celia (touring in concert in Mexico at the time), made the decision not to return to the island. In 1961, she moved to the U.S., and married Pedro Knight, her longtime friend and trumpet player. Fidel Castro was so enraged by Cruz’s defection, he barred her from returning to Cuba. In fact, Celia never returned to her homeland.

I found the sleeve notes, written by one Charles Fox, interesting - most of what follows is a straight cut 'n paste. Ready? Ok...
In his autobiography, “Really the Blues”, Mezz Mezzrow has described his struggle to play jazz with the feeling and power of the great Negro musicians. To do it he lived among Negroes, identifying himself not only with their music but with their whole approach to life.
Mezzrow’s admiration for Sidney Bechet began in Chicago during the early ‘Twenties, when Bechet was playing with the Original Creole Band at the De Luxe Café. But not until 1938, when the French critic Hugues Panassié visited the United States and supervised a series of sessions, did they get an opportunity to record together.
To create good New Orleans jazz, Mezzrow saw that it was necessary to achieve unity of style. He planned to record blues which would be models of teamwork rather than a pattern of solos, the musicians taking their parts in a balanced, harmonious whole. “A celebration of life” is how Mezzrow describes the function of jazz...
Perhaps the Quintet recordings made in August, 1945, contain the greatest jazz of all. Bechet and Mezzrow...become almost equal partners in some of the most intimate ensemble improvisations ever heard in jazz. While not approaching Bechet’s stature as a soloist, Mezzrow is skilled in creating a deft, sympathetic counterpoint.
Hot Lips Page plays fierce, biting trumpet on two tracks by the Septet. His singing of Blood on the moon is interrupted by a superb solo from Bechet. House party is distinguished by vigorous ensemble playing, Page and Bechet sharing the lead between them.
On the 1947 session the group adopted a more conventional attitude. Funky Butt, I want some and Tommy's blues contain wonderful solos but the fabric is less complex, no attempt being made to achieve a contrapuntal effect.
Apart from the excellence of front-line musicians, the performances gather added distinction from the work of the rhythm sections. Three of the greatest drummers in jazz—Sid Catlett, Baby Dodds and Kaiser Marshall—all took part. Pops Foster shows that he is still unsurpassed as a bassist at sessions of this kind; Wellman Braud, the strength of Duke Ellington’s rhythm team during the ‘Thirties, can be heard on one track. Danny Barker, a guitarist too rarely recorded, plays in the Septet. Fitz Weston, Wesley ‘Sox’ Wilson and Sam Price (for contractual reasons using the pseudonym “Jimmy Blythe, Jnr.”) all contribute extremely solid piano work.
It seems no exaggeration to claim that Mezz Mezzrow and Sidney Bechet have never played better than they did at these sessions. The simplicity of blues reveals the truth about a man...no living musician can excel Bechet’s performances in this idiom. Each phrase mounts upon its predecessor with magnificent inevitability, until the solo stands revealed as a complete and organic entity.
And here’s some bonus extras from Mezzrow's Wiki listing, just for the helluvit:
“Milton Mesirow was ethnically and religiously Jewish, and was raised in Chicago. His wife, Johnnie Mae, was a black Baptist. They had one son, Milton Mesirow, Jr. According to the younger Mesirow, the surname "Mezzrow" was a "pen name" of his father's. In an interview with the New York Times in 2015, "Mezz Jr." told a reporter, "My father put me in a shul, and my mother's side tried to make me a Baptist. So when I'm asked what my religion is, I just say 'jazz.'"[8]
The family lived in Harlem, New York, where Mezzrow declared himself a "voluntary Negro" and was listed as Negro on his draft card in World War II. [8] He believed that "he had definitely 'crossed the line' that divided white and black identities".[9]
Mezzrow...was so well known in the jazz community for selling marijuana that Mezz became slang for marijuana. He was also known as the Muggles King, 'muggles' being slang for marijuana, as in Louis Armstrong's 1928 recording "Muggles". Armstrong was one of his biggest customers.”
