Yup! A real beauty, no?
I will never vote for Jeb Bush, because when he talks he makes no sense.
The woman in the pic could be her double. Have you seen the double and Obama side by side. The double is the real Obama, and the Zero is Bari M. Shabbaz (Malcolm X son) imho.
Venezula has helped the Cubans in the past both with cash and gas.
The Hugo wannabes are sucking lots of air these days. Too dumb to produce the volume they should of crude oil and struggling with fifty buck per barl prices they are between a rock and a hard place.
The Castro bros. need to find a new sugar daddy and what better sugar than Uncle Sam.
Zero is perfetly willing to let the US support Cuba in every way possible. After all he is a card carrying commie and is right on with revolution anywhere and everywhere,just look at what he has done here.
So along with continuing to refine Venezuelan crude instead of Canadian crude and killing off Keystone the regime here is in full blown support of all their Communist brothers. Let ether be no mistake about it.
Well, hardly, but at least he generally had American interests at heart even though he and his advisors approached them from a Liberal perspective (that perspective would be termed "GOP Moderate" today) and was considered very "weak" on foreign policy. Most of his domestic and fiscal policies could at best be termed "neutral" or soft-left and he was also considered personally "weak", although urbane and glamorous, with much of the media cheering on he and Jackie's cultured behavior (which the East Coast media adored).
I was a senior in high school when JFK ran for President. I liked him more than Nixon even though my parents saw through his Massachusetts Irish blarney and told me he was no good. I should have listened closer, but I was young and idealistic and easily swayed by the gushing hype surrounding him.
Much of America turned on Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs fiasco and the Berlin Wall went up and he and his advisors were (rightly) seen as soft on Communism abroad. By 1962 or 1963, I (and many others) had turned against him for these reasons.
If Kennedy had not been assassinated less than a year before the election, it is highly probable Goldwater would have easily won in 1964 as most of the country except the East Coast and the big city political machines had turned against Kennedy. Goldwater was extremely popular and JFK's popularity was rapidly waning at this point. But JFK's assassination killed Goldwater politically because of the emotional backlash of the murder and Johnson (not a popular politician at all, but a very canny and effective one) kept the emotion on and played on the assassination and Goldwater's "dangerous" military stance on North Vietnam and nuclear war (remember the "Daisy Ad"?) and won in a landslide because of the continuing national revulsion against the assassination - and the rest is unfortunate history.
LBJ essentially killed America with his radical Great Society, which nobody could stop. The Democrats won not only the White House but historic majorities in the Congress in 1964.
Kennedy was important in history because of his untimely assassination which upended American history and progress, not because he was a good President in any meaningful sense of the word.
I forecast the Police WILL NOT enforce the silly Liberal “laws” such as selling loosies to circumvent punishing State Taxes.
NY Safe-forgetaboutit.
The Police will pursue homicides, assault & battery, crimes committed by creeps and thugs.
We may see stepped up enforcement against Politicians and Judges. No tolerance for rolling stops, broken tail light, speeding, jaywalking.....
I’m just begining to check the guy out now,don’t have all the answers yet.
I am listening to Rubio on Meet the Press and he makes sense.
Maybe it’s too simple a solution, but why can’t America supply arms and money to the pro-democracy groups in Cuba? Goodness this is done all over the world. You mean America can’t turn Cuba into a democracy, whatever it takes?
I know the words are simple and the deed is way more complicated....but since the eyes of the world are now on Cuba maybe it’s time to do something.
A leader for President....oops, Rubio just slipped in that he’s thinking about running for President....would be dealing with Cuba to bring a democracy to a country that could be so vibrant....so great. Wonderful beaches, great tobacco.
Yet we stand by and let this tiny nothing burger of a country wreak all this havoc all over the world?
There’s got to be a better way.
I’m quite sure Rubio will ride this thing and hey, he really should. Makes him sound way wiser than Jeb.
Know why the msm MUST avoid the Police Officer shooting ?
There are 2 reasons and both would kill the let’s push
They had some really good instructors - the East German Secret Police (Stasi) - most of whom themselves were ex-Gestapo or trained by the NKVD not that there was much difference.
Cuba has been a chamber of horrors since 1959...
Surely they aren’t waterboarding, that would upset the Democrats.
Undoubtedly, most of the victims of Castro's torture chambers would (if given the choice) gladly choose "waterboarding" first.
The Democrats celebrating and encouraging the Cuban regime are about as vile as the Castro brothers.
Some are opining that the reason Obama acted now is to lessen the growing Russian military relationship with Cuba. I doubt national security is of any concern to Obama. Castro has always been a hero to the left in this country. They will do anything to save him and his legacy. "Che" Guevara is still an icon to Obama and his ilk.
There were no Federal Parks prior to the CW as such is not among the powers enumerated in the Constitution.
Here’s another little sidelight of the release of Alan Gross from his “prison cell” in Cuba. Note little said about how terrible the conditons were there if indeed they even were.
You gotta wonder whose side this guy is on. in all this.Is this Bergdahls all over again? One wonders.
“Keen eyes on social media were quick to notice an oddity in New York Times photographer Stephen Crowley’s photograph of American Alan Gross freshly released from a Cuban prison, sitting in his lawyer’s office preparing remarks while surrounded by pictures of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro.”

I don't recall Kennedy being considered soft on communism. I graduated HS in 1961. JFK approved of the Bay of Pigs operation to take down Castro. He also ordered the subsequent blockade of Cuba in response to the positioning of Soviet missiles in Cuba. We probably came as close to a nuclear war with the Soviets at any time in the history of the Cold War. JFK's "Ich bin Ein Berliner" speech was clearly confrontational with the Communists as was his inaugural address, which I memorized as part of a speech contest in high school.
"We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans--born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage--and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
This much we pledge--and more.
In May 1961 JFK sent 400 military advisors (Green Berets) to South Vietnam to combat the growing communist influence. He would eventually send a total of 16,000.
I suspect the urgency has something to do with rescuing a hero of the left.
This just mirrors something similar in the campaign offices of Obama.
“I’m really beginning to seriously dislike Mike Rogers...”
Yes, Mr Big RINO, the good news - someone mentioned that he will not be in the next congress.
At the end of his segment Mr. Big RINO talked about being a radio talk show host.
I wonder what market? - Will he morph into the next left wing RINO ass? I think he already has. Bengazi report being the first salvo in that direction. I am sure this report makes weepy eyes Beahner happy.
We don't. (See: RATs voting in "open primaries".)
I say let Jeb run and the Tea Party types will go somewhere else, I can almost guarantee it.
A "guaranteed" permanent shutout. There is no "somewhere else".
