Trump: Cuba's President Has Got to Go

The NY Times is reporting this afternoon that President Trump is demanding Cuba's current president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, be removed from power in any deal with the country. This may be the first time people inside the administration have said so directly, but it has been obvious for weeks that this is what they had in mind. The other part of this, which also isn't really news, is that Trump is willing to leave some version of the regime in place so long as that regime is America friendly moving forward. As U.S. and Cuban officials negotiate over the future of the Communist-ruled and economically besieged Caribbean island, the Trump administration is seeking

The Obama Presidential Center is gearing up for its grand opening in June, but there is still lots to do before the doors open. One of those things is getting people in place who will staff the facility. But if you thought that working in Chicago's newest "unique" building might land you a decent salary, well, think again. Your "salary" will come in the form of getting to be part of the "experience."
The Obama Center is looking for unpaid volunteers to make up the workforce. While volunteering for something you believe in is a noble cause, it's just that — volunteering — and volunteering doesn't put food on the table.

At the Oscars we got to see a presenter say Free Palestine and no Wars. An Oscar winner said we should not elect anyone who doesn't care about the children.
They demand to Free Palestine but they never demand that Iranians, Venezuelans, and Cubans get freedom from tyrants.
They didn't protest as tens of thousands of Iranians were mowed down.
They haven't protested when the women's Iranian soccer team was threatened. Where are the women's athletes that always protest anything Trump does? Our sexist, racist President who hates foreigners and Muslims is the one trying to save them.
The Pope and others say wars never achieve peace.
Is Lesbianism Ruining America’s Future?

oday, most of those self-identifying as LGBTQ are young women. The growth has been dramatic. In the US, some thirty percent of Gen Z women (age 18-27) are self-identifying as LGBTQ, etc.—mainly lesbian and—compared to around 1-2% for women in the World War 2 generation. This means that almost a third of traditionally marital-age women are likely disinterested in traditional marriage. This is a significant factor in why almost half of Americans are unmarried.
As a result of the decline in marriages, the American replacement rate continues its slide south of the 2.1 children per couple needed for replacement. It is now hovering at 1.6. If one argues that lesbian couples
Expect Chaos in Cuba

The Communist dictatorship in Cuba is on its last legs. For decades, it had a parasitical relationship with the Soviet Union, which kept it alive economically, militarily, and politically. The Soviet Union was able to last for as long as it did because it was truly gargantuan, spanning two continents and filled with natural resources which the government utilized to stave off the inevitable end of all Marxist regimes. But when it, in turn, collapsed, Cuba’s economy took an even deeper dive than before, euphemistically referred to as the “Special Period.”
Then, oil-rich Venezuela, the wealthiest country in South America, became Communist and extended a lifeline to Cuba while it, too,
In modern journalism, narrative comes first.
The storyline is written before the reporting begins.
Facts arrive later — if at all.
A now-deleted social media post from CNN offered a striking example of how easily reality can be reshaped when facts collide with the wrong storyline. When two suspects were arrested after throwing homemade bombs near the residence of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, CNN initially described them as “two Pennsylvania teenagers [who] crossed into New York City … for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather.”
The attempted bombing was mentioned only afterward.
The framing read less like a crime report and more like the opening line
The rumor that's circulating in Middle Eastern political networks claims that Iranian cleric Hojtaba Khamenei may be in poor condition while he struggles to command respect among key figures inside the regime.
Mojtaba Khamenei remains widely viewed as the center of Iran's leadership after the death of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who served as Iranian supreme leader for over 30 years and whose death created a sudden leadership vacuum.
Iranian state media later confirmed the killing and declared a 40-day national mourning period as the regime moved quickly to maintain control and reassure supporters that the government remained intact. The Iranian supreme leader has held ultimate authority over Iran's military forces,

Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
In his active political career, Bill Clinton, at times, displayed genius. However, his post-presidency defines how an arrogant, proud person can cruelly destroy a charity’s ability to perform good works lawfully.
Francis Bacon, an intellectual giant, understood that true charity only benefits the recipient. Bill is the opposite. In thousands of pages of word torrents, Bill seems to suggest that activities pursued through “his” foundation served as a kind of
Not only is the Democrat party anti-American, it is shot through with an anti-democratic streak that is ever more apparent.
Like every tyranny throughout history -- communist, Marxist, socialist -- citizens are disarmed.
After every gun crime here, as with the murder of a professor at Old Dominion University the other day, the Muslim murderer who was previously charged with a terrorism crime and went to prison, is not blamed; his acquisition of the gun is. If the Iranian citizenry were armed, they would not be sitting ducks today.
The Democrat party is fervently in favor of the gender mutilation of persons suffering with gender dysphoria,
Colorado used to be a pretty good place. When I moved there in 1989, it was still mostly South Wyoming. Oh, there was downtown Denver, where the urban Dems clustered, and there was the People's Republic of Boulder, where they kept all the hippies. But most of Colorado was still pretty sensible. Now, though? It's East California, and nothing makes that case more clearly than the Jefferson County, Colorado board of education defying Title IX by allowing boys in girls' locker rooms, overnight accommodations, and on their sports teams.
It wasn't an isolated case, either. Up to 60 male students may have been given the opportunity to occupy spots for competing

The U.S. military devastated the military installations on Kharg Island, Iran’s major oil transport facility, but left the oil infrastructure alone. President Trump threatened to blow up the oil facilities, too:
“The United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island,” Trump said in a statement Friday evening, referring to an island in the Persian Gulf where most of Iran’s oil is processed.
“I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” former Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said President Donald Trump was no longer fit for office.
Buttigieg said, “What I’m worried about is not the soldiers and the people who are serving. What I’m worried about is their political leadership, like Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. You know, we lived through a war that was sold to us on false pretenses when I was younger. This war has not been sold on any pretense. The president just went ahead and did it. Here’s the biggest thing that has not changed since the war in Afghanistan or the war in Iraq.

Rhode Island Democrat House members are pushing legislation to require Rhode Islanders to obtain a “Firearm Safety Training Certificate” prior to purchasing a gun.
The legislation, H 7755, is sponsored by state Reps. Jennifer Boylan (D), Teresa Tanzi (D), Justine Caldwell (D), Robert Craven (D), Matthew Dawson (D), Earl Read (D), and others.
The text of H 7755 requires the would-be buyer of a handgun to “Present to the person selling the firearm a valid firearm safety training certificate issued by the office of the attorney general.”

France’s government is bolstering the country’s military presence in the Middle East, dispatching its aircraft carrier and other warships, while President Emmanuel Macron engages with key players in the conflict, including Iran, in a bid to position Paris for future diplomatic talks.
Macron said that France’s military involvement is strictly “defensive” and aims to avoid making the country a party to the war.
He reaffirmed that position after one French soldier was killed Thursday in a drone attack in Iraq.
“We are not at war with anyone,” Macron said.

LOS ANGELES — Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” was crowned best picture at the 98th Academy Awards, handing Hollywood’s top honor to a comic, multi-generational American saga of political resistance.
The ceremony Sunday, which also saw Michael B. Jordan win best actor and “Sinners” cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw make Oscar history as the first female director of photography to win the award, was a long-in-coming coronation for Anderson, a San Fernando Valley native who made his first short at age 18 and has been one of America’s most lionized filmmakers for decades. Before Sunday, Anderson had never won an Oscar.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett insisted she “followed all protocols” in hiring a fugitive security guard who had a criminal history and was under federal investigation when he was fatally shot in a standoff with Dallas SWAT.
Crockett (D-Texas) confirmed in a statement on Monday that her security guard, Diamon-Mazairre Robinson, whom she knew under the alias of Mike King, was shot by police in Dallas on Wednesday night — blaming “loopholes” in the system for his ability to circumvent the vetting process. [snip]

The movement to put federal agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other agencies at polling places is having the effect of flushing out into the open those from the left who want to protect shady election systems. The one-party state of New Mexico, with Democrat majorities in the House and Senate and a Democrat governor, was the first to pass legislation and have it signed into law that bans military or armed federal agents from polling places and ballot drop box locations.
One of the lesser known woke governors in the country, and one of the more extreme ones, Michelle Lujan Grisham, signed into law SB 264,

NEW YORK CITY – New York City will add 800 more “slow zones” capped at 15 mph by the end of the year, officials said Monday. The move will bring strict speed limits to schools across the city, increasing the number of schools with slow zones to 1,300. City officials said every eligible school across the five boroughs will receive a reduced speed limit by the end of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s first term. They described the expansion as the largest use of Sammy’s Law, which allows New York City to set its own speed limits. The law is named for
State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli just revealed that New York City is now spending $81,000 per street homeless person — in a town where average take-home pay is no higher than $40,600. And Mayor Zohran Mamdani want to spend more: City Hall projects it to hit nearly $97,000 in the coming year. Overall, this spending has skyrocketed from $102 million in 2018 to $368 million last year, up 320% even as the street-homeless population grew just 26%.
A Mauritanian illegal immigrant marked for deportation since 2002 has continued to live in the US and is a registered Democrat who voted in every election since 2008, authorities claim.

He was picked up in a joint operation between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the FBI who charge he “falsely represented that he was a US citizen in order to vote and register to vote” in the last preidential election, according to a press release.

President Trump was stunned to learn last week that US intelligence indicates new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be gay — and that his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, feared his suitability to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason, The Post can reveal.
Trump couldn’t contain his surprise and laughed aloud when he was briefed on the intel, according to sources.
Others in the room also found it “hilarious” and joined the president’s reaction, while one senior intelligence official “has not stopped laughing about it for days,” said one person familiar with the briefing.
