    The White House announced Monday President Joe Biden held a Zoom video conference call with Cuban-American celebrities in an attempt to organize a policy in response to nationwide anti-communist protests on the island.

    Gloria Estefan followed the pandemic rules. She claims she “rigorously” complied with health and safety measures, limiting her exposure to others. But the 63-year-old singer admitted during an Instagram video chat that she was “one of the victims of Covid.” Despite her adherence to protocols, Estefan said she dined outdoors at a restaurant in Miami with three family members. She tested negative days later, but soon started feeling ill and got the classic coronavirus symptoms of losing taste and smell, along with a cough and dehydration. “The only thing that I can imagine happened is that someone came up to...

    So, I’m sitting in my local diner staring at a pair of gorgeous breasts that are hovering over my husband’s face as the twenty year old waitress takes our lunch order. She purrs, “Ready?” I think she just winked at him. He pretends not to notice. I am in the middle of a good story about my wonderful, recent trip to the AZ Freedom Rally II. After an eternity, the gorgeous, young boobs leave and I resume my tale, ” …the greatest thing about this crucial moment in history is the fact that I am meeting the greatest people on...

    In Los Angeles, police estimated 100,000 people had joined a march led by singer Gloria Estefan. "It's the right of every American to protect where they live," she told the crowd. "But that doesn't give them a reason to place a law that could create racism and discrimination." The BBC's Rajesh Mirchandani, at the rally, says there were banners calling for a boycott of Arizona, and even one portraying the state's governor, Jan Brewer, as Hitler.

During the reception, Obama was given a letter from the mother of Cuban dissident Orlando Zapata Tamayo, who died on February 23 after an 85-day hunger strike to protest prison conditions in Cuba, participants in the event said.

    If Gloria Estefan decides to sing a tune while hosting President Barack Obama at her home Thursday, she may want to consider her 1989 hit Cuts Both Ways.

    The Usurper, El Usurpador ^ | 04/02/2010 | Corazon
    No one can hurt the cause of freedom in Cuba or in America more than they are at this time. America has an Usurper at the white house who is destroying our Republic and because of his actions at present or past will not do anything to rescue the Freedom of Cuba. At least half of Americans people are trying to preserve the Freedom granted by God , the Usurper is celebrating with the Estefan's to help the Democratic Party, the party which in Congress has been proved wants us to be slaves under socialism like in Cuba under Castro.

After seeing Gloria Estefan lead a march through Little Havana in solidarity with Cuba's Ladies in White on Thursday, others in cities on both coasts of the U.S. have been inspired to follow suit. In Los Angeles, actor Andy Garcia will lead a demonstration through Echo Park at 2 p.m. on Sunday. His motto for the march, he told the Miami Herald, is "this is not a...

    Rally designed to support the Ladies in White activists in Cuba After seeing women protesters dragged through the streets in Cuba, Gloria Estefan figured the best way to fight the injustice was to dress in white and carry on the march. The Cuba native is calling on all Cubans in Miami to come out and rally against the Castro government on Thursday in Little Havana at 6 p.m. Estefan called on participants to dress in white, walk in silence and hold flowers in the style of the Cuban group. "Cubans and non-Cubans alike that live in liberty need to take...

    To: Gloria Estefan This is a petition to protest Gloria Estefan's new CD, 90 Millas. We are concerned with the recent news that Gloria Estefan has asked Carlos Santana to collaborate with her on her album, 90 Millas. http://www.gloriaestefan.com/pdf/usaToday021607.jpg The reasoning behind this suggestion relates to the 2005 Oscars. Carlos Santana walked down the red carpet sporting a trendy black che guevara t-shirt.http://u.univision.com/contentroot/locales/art/images/12mia/WLTV/2005/03/28_santana_che_3.jpg.
