Secretary of State Marco Rubio has pushed America-First, anti-terrorism, law and order into the center of the tourist visitor filter. Unstable extremists need not apply for visas to enter the USA, and anyone creating a social disturbance is subject to visa cancellation.
This is the same standard of behavior that is applied by all other countries for U.S. tourists in foreign visits; however, as Marco Rubio and the U.S. State Department enforce this expectation the domestic extremists and agitators are extremely agitated.
The latest example comes from a British punk/rap duo who decry American colonialism, profess severe antisemitism and promotion of violence. Recently, during a music festival in Britain, singer Bobby Vylan shouted, “Death, death to the IDF,” several times before turning the microphone toward the crowd to get attendees to repeat the chant. The IDF is the national military of Israel. Additionally, Vylan shouted “Free, Free, Free Palestine,” and again, had some in the crowd repeat what he said.
The State Dept has now cancelled their entry visa for their U.S. tour.
(Via Politico) – The State Department has revoked visas for a London-based punk duo set to tour the U.S. in October after the band led a crowd of festival-goers in England in calling for the death of the Israeli military over the weekend.
Deputy State Secretary Christopher Landau confirmed Monday that the State Department had revoked U.S. visas for members of the band Bob Vylan over comments the group made at the Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts.
“The @StateDept has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants. Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” Landau posted on X.
The State Department’s decision came after Bobby Vylan, lead singer of the duo, led more than 200,000 attendees at the festival in chants of “free, free Palestine” and “death, death to the IDF” — the Israel Defense Forces.
The group has 20 performance dates planned for cities in the U.S. starting in October. It is unclear whether the band will still be able to perform this fall. (read more)
Marco Rubio is on a roll!!! Credit where credit is due! #FAFO. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
👏👏👏👏👏
Wowsa – he’s a wonderful surprise. You go, Marco!
Death, death to the IDF?
How about Death, death, to rap music.
You win the internet today.
Yes!
I always laugh when I hear anyone mention a rap “singer.”
I’m a singer. What they do is not singing.
There are a couple of rare exceptions. Jason Mraz has a rap song where he uses his excellent voice to sing the lyrics instead of shouting them. Good melody too. I give him credit for that..
But the rest, pfft!
I’ve never thought they were singers, it’s just another effort to bring blacks/their entertainment modes into the mainstream similar to affirmative action or DEI, and they attempt to glorify evil; BTW, how does he pronounce his surname?
Who cares how he pronounces is name. His type can’t sing all they can do is cuss loudly and long.
Rap was created by angry people, but it was then expanded to increase the number of angry people who might turn that anger into criminal behavior. Someone saw profits in that dark plan…
I read this same article (linked below) years ago but in some other website / blog site (cannot recall which). Although my initial reaction was mild doubt, I later realized that everything claimed by this author “fit” to a “tee”what I witnessed happening within our society during the same timeframe as described in this relatively short writing.
The author does not specifically mention it, but those of us who lived through the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s saw the relatively rapid disappearance of traditional Motown soul /love R&B music on the radio accompanied by the equally-as-sudden rise of hard, crude, rap that was loaded with both violent and misogynistic references.

Another but similar perspective is linked below, written a year after the hiphopisread article was published..
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2013/08/the_truth_about_rap_music.html
Soooo sick of rap. It has completely eclipsed real music where the skills of singing and playing instruments are required.
an oxymoron – rap & music; rap is not music but synchronized chanting with loud noises from instruments creating cacophony accompanying the chants.
A far cry from music!
In other words, Pagan sounds to the god of this world.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 KJV
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: [4] In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Satan empowers those that give themselves over to him.
Luke 4:5-7 KJV
And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
[6] And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
[7] If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
Ezekiel 28:13-15 KJV
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
[14] Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so : thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
[15] Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Huh? No Flavy Flav!
No “Bust A Move”!
I agree that these two new dipsh*ts should be banned from our America.
This part is confusing, I thought they had their VISA’s pulled???
“The group has 20 performance dates planned for cities in the U.S. starting in October. It is unclear whether the band will still be able to perform this fall”
Modern journalists are just generally confused about everything.
The Corrupt Corporate Media is “unclear” on anything they disagree with.
Maybe via Zoom on a Jumbotron?
LOL, I actually thought about this as well
Use a boombox on a barge
They will be able to perform all they want this fall. Just not in the USA. Oh boo hoo!
“It is unclear” is Journalese for “we don’t know.” No journalist can every admit to not knowing.
They are waiting to see if a Judge or an article in The NY Times / the CIA overrules Rubio, that’s what that means.
You nailed it, Li.
That misstatement of the facts is how they get people to come back to find out more. Just as deliberate as not answering: Who, What, Where, When, How & Why. Leave a few facts off and people feel like that didn’t get the answer they were looking for. Also, along with that, never, never recap an updating story. That also makes you feel like you need more information and will come back for more.
All new media techniques.
I just love that movie, “Teacher’s Pet” with Doris Day and Clark Gable – what a great movie –
and it all boiled down to saving time for the reader, putting all the important facts in the first paragraph – saving space that could go to ads, which really pay for the paper to be printed.
Since the early 1970’s when the consolidation of newspaper organizations began to accelerate – and then the advent of “USA Today” from Gannett, obliterating really the local news – have you noticed how the classified and display advertising sections have dwindled away? Except for ads perhaps from big chains that can afford to advertise – the old saying, “you can’t afford NOT to advertise” is a bygone thing because advertising rates are prohibitively high).
State Department can re-issue the VISA’s before the October tour dates.
Maybe the band wants to perform without the ‘rapper’. Should not be allowed.
Maybe they’re going to phone it in. 😆😆😆. Or hologram. 😂😂
The band might still be able to preform ?
Everyone connected to someone like that deserves his treatment
Never heard of this guy before. Glad I will never hear about him again in my country. Thank you Secretary Rubio for putting your $ where your mouth is. Appreciated. Signed, America.
Best answer
Maybe if they changed it to “Clean East Palestine”, and “F the effing ATF” it would resonate better. Gotta read your audience. /s😎
Revoke the VISAS permanently.
Yes – as I like to say GETTEMOUTTAHERE AND KEEPEMOUTTAHERE.
“It is unclear whether the band will still be able to perform” – um. Unclear? No visa, no entry, no performance. Seems perfectly clear to me. Who wrote that line with a straight face?
Corrupt Corporate Media.
The BBC loved him 😍
….further…
The BBC actually pumped this despicable hate filled bilge into the living rooms of every Brit who, by law, is required to pay for a television license.
The BBC is the propaganda mouthpiece of the British government.
Ergo, the British government/Starmer fully approved spreading antisemitic propaganda funded by force by the British taxpayer…
Who, also by law, if he or she expressed their disgust on social media, would find the British constabulary (en masse) hauling their rear ends into custody where they would be booked, charged, and convicted of a “hate crime”.
“wait for it”….
Ahhh! So that rapper is really Justice Jackson’s stage personna.
🤣🤣
…an idiot “journalist” in a room full of cannabis vape smoke?
maybe they meant they couldn’t see their laptop screen clearly?
Maybe they were using one of those toy “8 balls” – isn’t there an answer where it says “not clear – try again later”?
Is there an emoji for “a straight face”? I keep thinking one of these days that we will open the newspaper and the articles will be riddled with emojis!
“It is unclear whether the band will still be able to perform this fall.”
Very unclear.
they might sneak over the border… reporters see that as a valid entry
All five fans are going to be extremely disappointed.
Bobby Vylan, he ain’t no Bob Dylan. I wonder if George & Alex came up with that name?
How about we start punishing people who say “Death to America”?
“Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,”
Let’s apply that to Zelensky then.
And Merz.
And Macron.
“How about we start punishing people who say “Death to America”?”
Can we apply that to the hoards of degenerates who’ve flooded our borders while simultaneously trampling our flag?
Johnny Rotten loves our VSG President Trump, so who cares what this nobody thinks!
This is a truly great comment. These chumps aren’t fit to carry the Pistols’ set lists. Their “lyrics” and rants are dime store tripe. Punk is anti-pop, not clickbait for likes. Johnny Rotten and the boys always were the real deal. Too bad about Sid. RIP. Think I’ll have a cocktail over “Never Mind The Bollocks” this evening.
I listened to PIL this morning!
Time for some “Anarchy In The U.K.”, yes? BTW, check out the miniseries Pistol that was released by FX and Hulu a few years ago. Based on Steve Jones’ memoirs.
JR was controlled. Can you imagine back in 77 having a river police escort The Pistols floating down the thames past westminster singing God save the queen and nowt happens. Saying that he crafts his words very intelligently.
Or the band hosting a Christmas party for the children of firemen who died in the line of duty?
Keep out the trash, we have enough we need to get rid of!
FAFO..
Meanwhile….
Singer Azealia Banks pulls out of two UK music festivals because of pressure by the festival organizers to promote/say “free free Palestine.
Who in behind this?
Let me guess . . . George Soros?
Restraining order incoming…
Who from? The rogue precinct so-called judges are shut down.
And nobody drives too fast either
The United States spent $5 Billion dollars attempting to overthrow the government of Viktor Yanukovych.
Ukraine was at peace during the 4 years that Yanukovych was President.
The moment that Yanukovych was overthrown in 2014, the Donbass rebelled against the CIA installed government in Kiev.
Every Ukrainian government since Yanukovych was overthrown has been an American puppet government.
Ukraine has been at war ever since Yanukovych was overthrown, throughout the different American puppet governments (Poroschenko and Zelenskyy).
So the “bad guy” (Yanukovych) kept Ukraine at peace whereas the “good guys” (Poroschenko and Zelenskyy) have presided over a bloodbath.
Off topic and flagged.
True, but there were comments above about Z. He’s not wrong, so at least he’s got that going for him.
Well, to me it seems it could be quite on topic, wherein “Bob Vylan” is brought in as one of the first warning shots in roiling the waters – “let’s see what the Trump administration does with this” –
maybe “Bob Vylan” is a USAID project – after all, they sent USAID money to “The Guardian” –
all part of a new “color revolution” – now orchestrated against the USA – a last-ditch effort –
what are Torie and Sammy doing these days, anyway?
You may want to peruse this site before posting…
A. Friend
But….but…but….Freedom of Speech ! ! ! ! !
Tough cookies, bub. Around here that’s a right reserved for American citizens.
More of this please!
This needs to be put in perspective. The deep state is waging a cultural war, which is in many ways more potent than bombs and bullets because hearts and minds are being twisted into a new, contrived, and destructive direction.
The bbc is not supposed to air the concert with this content, but, they did. The group was chosen to perform and, thereby, push their message. You see the entertainment industry push trans ideology, homosexuality, racist Americans, the noble third worlder, Christianity is evil, Islam is oppressed, free market creates unfair outcomes, and socialism creates fair outcomes. This is off the top of my head. There are much more narratives.
You must burn into your head that this group was carefully chosen and their racist, profane music was intentionally broadcast with pal flags waving in the mosh pit.
This is a war for hearts and minds.
Well said. They are very successful with it too.
I notice that most Facebook and Instagram notifications come as “their” story” (instead of his or her)”. If you fight it, you are a uncool person. It’s how they move the Overton window for a win.
Thank you
Plus, the rebellion chic is now the sheepskin covering the Islamic wolf. They are using the rebellion coolness to target the young and disenchanted.
This is a designed production to capture the hearts and minds. It is clear as day.
This is staged.
Not just this group. Apparently there were several acts pushing this genocidaire narrative.
Yes!
Think of it – Z was rather profane as a performer!
Glastonbury is a beautiful town in Somerset, a bit new age’y but generally has a pleasant hi vibe about it. Once a year this beautiful town is turned into a shit hole attraction for everything the opposite.
The BBC and the British music Industry that promoted the likes of the Beatles, the stones, the list is endless last year had sir paul on stage chanting ukraine, ukraine, this year rodney don’t you think I’m sexy stewart played his political role. Back in the day john, paul, george and ringo got banned from the US over drugs. It seems the British have used every means to stir shit (excuse my coloured language) in every avenue possible.
I’m sure sir kier (paedophile, grooming gang) starmer will be proud this year with his MI5-6 stooges he has stirring the pot in beautiful Glastonbury.
I believe it Glastonbury’s already prepared nothing response except to say ‘Who Knew? Not Us,’ proved it.
Fee Fa Fo Fum.
I smell a cancellation of an Englishman.
I remember when England was mostly white and polite. Guess that makes me a racist.
“It is unclear whether the band will still be able to perform this fall.”
Looks pretty clear to me.
But maybe if you’re a pot-smoking thug who thinks nasty dirty hair is cool, then…. yeah,
maybe your band and your managers, and Politico think they can still do their concerts WITHOUT BEING IN THE COUNTRY.
🤡
It only works if we allow it. How is it working out for the Dixie Chicks? Still getting on the air but absolutely no one cares on the right or left.
Will be interesting to see how fast these bands disappear when the USAID type money isn’t there to fund them and they can’t get into US market to launder dirty money through bogus ticket sales.
20-to-1 they sneak into the country illegally and make ICE arrest them.
Then they can perform prison concerts!
To add insult to injury, the BBC broadcast the whole of this. Here various people are ‘looking in to this’ meanwhile Rubio bans them!
Yes. This is the way.
Good. America is so awful why come here?
We don’t need losers like this in our country. It’s about time to be a little more discerning about who we let in.
Talk smack? Don’t expect that you will automatically be able to enter our country.
And oh by the way…………………………this is not music. It’s straight up garbage. I don’t even want to post anything from YouTube. Trash.
Thank you, Secretary of State Rubio. You are a brave and courageous person.
Glastonbury, not just a recent festival broadcast live upon the BBC. I would not classify this guy as Punk. He is more like a rage ripoff thinking he is cool.
While telling England it will not get its country back, he is a river to the sea chanter. Apparently the last time he was in the US, the guy wanted to fight the audience.
Now if we can start to revoke more visas…..
We don’t need to invite cancers into our body.
More more more we love it we want more of it
So fi they promise to behave they can come? No!
What a difference!
I mean between the Trump Administration and the DNC. I have never see such a contrast.
God Bless Trump and his team.
We didn’t need the Millie Vanilli redux anyway!
Death to IDF chant. That is purely demonic!
’we have enough demons in America, we don’t need any more making money off fools here. Good Job Marco!
Awww – he looks so cute in his new white jammies.
That’s just it, jammies and no underwear!! A real gentlemanly performance……!! NOT. I’m old, deal with it.
The “I’m old deal with it ” was not a comment meant for you. I understood what you were saying! Thanks.
Maybe it was meant for me – I meant the comment to be total sarcasm. Guess I should have labeled it as such but I thought it was obvious.
Vylan, et. al. have a perfect right to say what they think — and a perfect right to enjoy the consequences. Free speech doesn’t mean free from consequence no matter how much “free speech” libs scream about it.
Now, on to other fertile venues (e.g. publication, recordings, videos, media, etc.)
Excellent call, Marco Rubio! And KEEP them out of our country!!
However, I imagine his decision has now enhanced this “band’s” appeal among a certain stratus of people.
“Terrorism”? Military forces can be attacked, but can they be terrorized?
Maybe bombing the homes of generals and their families and neighbors while they sleep would qualify.
A UK person is complaining about AMERICAN Colonialism? BOY…that’s RICH!
(notice that I didn’t exactly call him British)
“Bob Vylan?” Seriously? Hates the US and the West, but takes his name from one of America’s most successful songwriters of the current age. We don’t need this Milli Vanilli shamster on these shores.
“It is unclear whether the band will still be able to perform this fall.”
I do not see how. Unless they want to set up a giant screen and broadcast live from overseas.
I would not doubt by October they would utter some things publicly that would prevent them from doing even that.
Euro-trash. We’ve got enough of it already.
Hopefully they won’t be allowed into the USA ever. Should be arrested in England for Plod’s favourite ‘hate crimes’. Disgusting cretins!
Good.
Back in the UK, Bob Vylan’s talent agency, UTA, has dropped them over that Glastonbury concert. The lead singer seems to be savoring the controversy for now, but their career seems to be over.
good
Thanks BigMarco❗
We got enough trash already here
Saw that clown on a YouTube video last night, during a “concert” at Glastonbury. Very tough guy shouting, “You (English) want your country back? STFU!” In front of an overwhelmingly young, white, middle class, docile crowd. I’d like to see how his routine went over in a working class pub. Like most of the loud mouth show offs, there’s nothing wrong with him that a good, professional beating wouldn’t cure.
Same. That’s actually one of their “songs.” I posted the full lyrics here, but my post got deleted. Not sure why. Maybe copyright and/or b/c they are so vile.
this nonsense must stop
I applaud this action
