t's not easy being a Cuban agent of subversion in the Western hemisphere these days.

In today’s world, there are 193 countries in the UN. The large majority of those countries will vote consistently against the United States on measures that come before the General Assembly. Then again, the international system that counts is not the UN, but rather the U.S.-led commercial and legal order of alliances and trade. Almost all of the 193 UN member countries participate willingly in that system, to their great benefit. They may oppose the U.S. on many issues, and they may have disputes with their immediate neighbors, but they don’t make themselves constant troublemakers threatening to disrupt world peace...

Last week, FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen agents who worked on the case investigating Donald Trump for taking top-secret materials to his Mar-a-Lago residence after his first term was over. Those agents have now been revealed to be part of an elite group specializing in assessing threats from Iran, according to two reports. Multiple sources with knowledge of the personnel move told the New York Sun and confirmed to MS Now that the layoffs impacted the counterespionage group tasked with investigating threats from foreign adversaries out of Iran just days before the US bombed its leaders.

Decision follows US and Israeli strikes on Iran in a rising threat to Gulf oil flowsOpec+ has agreed to increase output by 206,000 barrels per day from April, following one of the alliance’s most consequential meetings in years, held against the backdrop of US and Israeli strikes on Iran and rising threats to Gulf oil flows. The figure falls between the 137,000 bpd base case most analysts had anticipated and the more aggressive increases of 400,000 to 500,000 bpd that had been suggested. “The eight participating countries decided to resume the unwinding of the 1.65 million bpd of additional voluntary...

US President Donald Trump says Cuba is "in a real bind" and proposes an American "friendly takeover" of the island. After attempts to topple Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Havana's most important ally in the region, Washington has tightened its long-standing trade blockade on Cuba, as the communist-ruled island is hard-pressed by an energy crisis and economic difficulties. "They have no money, they have nothing right now. But they are talking to us and maybe we will see a friendly takeover of Cuba," Trump told reporters as he left the White House on Friday. The Cuban government is talking to us,...

On Thursday, Venezuela's "acting president" Delcy Rodríguez held a regime-sponsored event for young people, "Gran Encuentro con la Juventud Venezolana" (Great Meeting with Venezuelan Youth), during which she got up on stage in front of a crowd, flashing peace signs and wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and made a lot of big promises to the country's younger generations. It was giving "How do you do, fellow kids?" vibes. I assume this bit of propaganda was meant to counter the country's brave and growing youth opposition movement that has been standing up to the regime in recent weeks —marching, protesting, calling...

There it was on the front page of Saturday’s New York Times: with a small assist from the United States, the island nation of Cuba has almost entirely ended the use of fossil fuels. Finally, we have the first country in the world to achieve the climate movement’s Holy Grail and nirvana — Net Zero! Or at least a very close approximation. This should be cause for a huge celebration. You would think that the Times, which has been demanding the elimination of fossil fuels for at least a couple of decades, would be leading the celebrations. But weirdly, now...

"We are preparing a plan to assist. We are not prepared at this point to provide any further details of an...

We wrote recently about the ongoing effort by Marxists in the United States to raise money on behalf of the Communist government in Cuba. That effort continues. Meanwhile, the same folks, in league with a whole raft of other radical leftist groups, are also working on sending a “flotilla” to Havana’s aid. “A growing coalition of international organizations, including Progressive International, The People’s Forum, CODEPINK, and allied movements across the Americas and beyond is coming together to launch the Nuestra América Flotilla to Cuba in March, 2026, a humanitarian and solidarity mission to the island at a moment of deep...

The LA Mayor was perched atop the vehicle Saturday, smiling and waving while wishing spectators a happy New Year. “Today is the day we all contribute and show our support for Chinatown,” Bass says in one video. But the tone quickly turned sour. A man filming the mayor — who appeared to identify himself as a journalist — pressed her about city budget cuts and crumbling roads, accusing her of “defunding our city.” “Make sure you vote against...
