Why don’t the Cubans just send their Venezuelan comrades free sugar?

A recession is a hairline going backward.

This is rather more than a recession. This is a warehouse full of blood and struggle about to open its doors.

I think you've touched on the vulnerability we have in trying to preserve our republic. The liberal controlled teachers unions have done a lot of damage through the progressive education agenda over the last five decades.

As evidenced by factual chronicles and videos of personal 'one the street' interviews many young people have not developed the conscience or morality to make them productive adults capable of contributing to society. In a sense, they are already Zombies -- the walking morally dead.

If shown the truth about what socialism does, they would reply, as they have been trained to do, that it is a right wing lie.

I have a neighbor with relatives in Venezuela and the stories she tells are far worse than anything being reported in our agenda driven media.

I’d like to buy Venezuela a coke, but all the stores are boarded up. All the apples trees, honeybees, and show white turtle doves got eaten by mobs.

Is it appropriate to joke about this? I just don’t know what else to do. This is happening in a nation with even more oil than Saudi Arabia.

“Venezuela is in the midst of feeling the Bern, right up front and in their face.”

I just see the similarities on what is going on in some of these countries.

Take Turkey for example. Edrogan slowly over the years has been replacing top ranked secular military. Next he started subverting the Congress and setting up laws to give him more power and longer Tenure. He will eventually have full control and another Islamofascist state is born.

But notice the pattern. Top ranked military replaced, subverting the Congress and Constitution to pass laws giving the leader more power more tenure.

There are marxists in journalism claiming this is only because oil prices dropped.

Complete idiots. I sent emails to a few of them.

This crap in Venuzuela is a good lesson in what we are likely to run out of:

Food
Toilet Paper
Water
Electricity

You know...the standard stuff.
