Beautiful painting. Where is it from?
How did the Cuban population vote in Florida — Trump or Clinton?
Well that settles it then: Fidelito will be Hijo Numero Uno.
Hopefully, he will disappear and spend the rest of his miserable life in a gulag.
It isn’t a real story, of course. This same poster has vaguely and conspiratorially tied in Cruz’s father, George H.W. Bush, and “5 Cubans” to Kennedy’s assassination before, among several other “interesting” beliefs that are in no way evidence based. I’m just mentioning that so you can understand the type you’re dealing with here...
Another Trump Win!
Yep. They are scared of the new sheriff coming to town.
Show one of those graphics of him dressed in an American Revolution uniform and that is enough for them to pull their hair out.
Thanks. Maybe JR should be on the alert to this FReeper’s “News/Activism” that isn’t.
Trump.
Look for the Trump dressed as a revolutionary soilder with the eagle.
Well done, thanks.
The Orange Bowl Stadium committee was contacted ten years ago when Fidel was last rumored to have died or been at death’s door. City commissioners were trying to get cooperation or an approval to book the stadium for an impromptu celebration date. The initial planning included guest speakers, salsa bands, banners, a parade, t-shirts and so on. Too bad the Orange Bowl is gone, what a perfect venue that would have been at this time.
When Castro dies, Miami will party like it’s 1959!

Jan 29, 2007 · MIAMI, Florida (CNN) — A Miami official said his idea of holding an event at the Orange Bowl when Fidel Castro dies...
Better than the white vote. Trump went to the heart and soul of the original Cuban-Exile community last month:

Nov 15, 2016 · In Florida, Cubans were about twice as likely as non-Cuban Latinos to vote for Donald Trump. More than half (54%) supported the Republican president
Thanks to the Veterans from the Bay of Pigs for their timely endorsement before the Cuban community. It was their first time ever to endorse a president. Having been burned before by JFK, they have had serious trust issues the past 55 years.
I did not place it as news or activism.
It was listed it as a personal blog categories humor & politics & chit/chat
Here’s a bittersweet story that’s vaguely related. My 82-year-old quilting friend had been very ill for a few years — diabetes, kidneys (on dialysis 3x week), and miscellaneous other issues. Absolutely despised Hillary and loved Trump. She couldn’t stop talking about it.
On election day around noon she went into a coma, and just yesterday she passed away. When her daughter called to let me know, I asked if she ever got to know that Hillary had lost the election. She said that, yes, she had been awake and lucid for a couple days during that time so they told her. She was so happy!
Elian Gonzalex was not Fidel’s first kidnapping, his own son was kidnapped by both mom and dad in a custody battle. Fidel prevailed.
Fidelito Castro (b.1949) only officially recognized offspring
Fidel’s first wife, Mirta Diaz-Balart, divorced him mid-1950s and took Fidelito to Miami. Castro wanted his son kept from Mirta’s family since her brother was Rafael Diaz-Balart (Batista’s government official.) His sons, Mario and Lincoln Diaz-Balart (Fidel’s nephews) became Florida Congressmen who vocalized the exile opposition to Castro’s Communist regime.
In 1956, Castro persuaded ex-wife-Mirta to send Fidelito for a visit when he was in Mexico, then refused to send him back.... Three armed men jumped from a car and grabbed Fidelito to return him to his mother....... Later, adult Fidelito ran Cuba’s Atomic Energy Commission until Fidel removed him in the early 1990s.
Heh..my mom is 95 and she cared passionately about this election. Personally, I think she is in love with our new president!
Hmmm, you probably meant to, but if you click on the thread, the upper right corner identifies the thread as “News/Activism”.
I think the Sidebar Mod moved it early on when they gave me a “heh!”
After Personal/Blogger, I distinctively remember the long list of choices and checking 3 boxes. That page looks nothing like the other where I nearly always post.
If I were in News, I would have checked ‘Foreign,’ for sure.
The narrative had some early clues:
“his sons through their Mojitos out the window” (Mojito is a Cuban cocktail)
“The same miserable communist life for the people, and a life of opulence and great wealth for the Castro familia.” (we speak this way, they don’t)
And consider the ending with the money and the whispering....
Only Raul or Fidel could retell this story. I’m not Raul.
Certainly plausible, just need verification before I pass it on.
As far as communist/socialist/totalitarian goes (no difference really), history has shown time and again, as now, how miserable it is. And yet, incredibly, so many people buy into it. Like dumb sheep going to their slaughter.
