Humberto posted back in November about the efforts of Castro cockroach Rep. Jose Serrano to perpetuate Obama’s rule. Serrano, who has a photo of Che in his office, is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and an admitted fan of Fidel Castro, whom he praised as “a great leader for his people," introduced the [...]

“The Cuban nation has died, it was murdered”

Far too little attention is given to the true story of the Bay of Pigs invasion, the men who risked and sacrificed their lives in the hope of liberating their homeland, and the international repercussions of that failure. I urge you to watch this interview with Bay of Pig veterans Javier Souto and Jose Regalado. [...]

The spirit of Christmas prevails

For fifty-nine years, residents of the city of Santa Monica, where I grew up, enjoyed the annual Santa Monica Nativity Scenes displayed during the Christmas Season at Palisades Park. After a messy battle with the usual atheist suspects, fighting threats of lawsuits, and untenable compromises,the city finally banned all public seasonable displays, leaving us all [...]

Why didn’t restrictive gun control laws save the victims of Newtown?

I don't know about you, but in my opinion the left's immediate rush to politicize the tragedy in Connecticut, the ensuing media frenzy, and their manipulation of good law abiding citizens rightful grief, emotionality, and confusion disgusts me.  Before the facts of the crime were clear, before the correct perpetrator was identified, before Newtown parents knew whether or not their children were safe, [...]

Horror in Connecticut

27 Dead, Including 18 Children, At Sandy Hook School Shooting In Newtown  The killing of innocent children is incomprehensible, I am shocked that once again some coward would violate the peace and safety of our children, and inflict unimaginable horror and pain upon innocents.  Our prayers go out to the parents and citizens of Newton Connecticut.  May God be with them [...]

Senator Rubio Opposes UN Recognition of Palestine

The U.N. vote in favor of granting non-member state status to terrorists, the Palestinians,  no matter how it's spun, is a vote for the destruction of Israel.   I am heartened by Marco Rubio's rapid and unequivocal response: Senator Rubio Opposes UN Recognition Of Palestine Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement [...]

As U.S. election dominates news, wave of arrests in Cuba

Distractions are opportunities for dictators. From Capitol Hill Cubans: Wave of Arrests Sweeps Havana Amid the world's focus on the U.S. Presidential election, the Castro regime has violently arrested over two dozen of the island's most renowned dissidents.

Message to Obama’s useful idiot voters

Obama excused his first poor debate performance by saying that the Mitt Romney at the debate wasn't the real Mitt Romney. Well guess what Obama supporters, your leader has fooled you, the man you voted for isn't the real Obama. You were easy; donned with utopian blinders, enthralled and tingling with love for your would [...]

America’s choice: Slavery or Freedom

A number of years ago, on my personal blog, I wrote that to fix America, we must do right by Cuba. I wrote about the non-interference agreement with the Soviets, the Wet Foot-Dry Foot policy, and the hypocrisy of politicians talking about support for a free Cuba, while doing nothing. The focus of that post was [...]

They are making their home there for three years, and I'm joining them for a month. Other than the dreaded [...]

Viva Cristo Rey!

As a Jew, these are not my words, but the battle cry of the Cristeros, as well as the last vows of martyrs in the film, For Greater Glory: The True Story of Cristiada, a film about faith, freedom, conviction, and refusal to abandon those principles. This film is populated by heroes of the kind [...]
