As this junk science evolves into junk politics, and junk governing into a Western socialist dictatorship over the world's population it must be said we have inflicted a pox upon ourselves by allowing an unchallenged voice to this cult of global warming hoax.

Friends from the Los Angeles based Cuban run periodico, 20 de Mayo, serving the local community since 1969, created the wonderful collage of photos shown above.   The link to this weeks fine edition is here.

Apparently the indigenous communists in this country haven't primed the pump enough for the radical Islamists to swoop in with Sharia.

TBA, eh, Choudary?
More here.
I guess Lady Liberty will have to wait on her burka fitting.
Who do both these groups think they're dealing with in this country? The American people might be 'fat and lazy', but [...]

U.S. Supreme Court Issues Landmark Decision: Constitution is Void
ATLANTA, Jan. 18, 2011 - The U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark decision that serves to allow judges to void the Constitution in their courtrooms. The decision was issued on January 18, 2011, and the Court did not even explain [...]

A dear friend recently home from the hospital, coming to terms with her failing health asked, "How can I die when Cuba is not free?"  It seems they come more frequently now, phone calls or emails announcing an illness, or informing about the passing of a friend or an acquaintance, followed by expressions lamenting that [...]

So, what about those Rapiscan x-ray machines:

The Transportation Security Administration says the amount of radiation from scans amounts to about a thousandth of the amount a person receives from a standard chest X-ray.
Peter Rez, a physics professor at Arizona State University in Tempe, did his own calculations and found the exposure to be about one-fiftieth [...]

On this Veteran's Day perhaps we owe an apology, as much as a "Thank You," to our current military, and our Veterans.
For all our inventions, innovations, advancements, and American excellence, our most exceptional contribution to ourselves and to the world has been our United States Military. This Veteran's Day are we in danger of losing [...]

This year marks the 50th anniversary of my family’s arrival into the United States of America as exiles from Cuba. When the collapse of the Batista regime and the imminent castro victory became a certainty, they began making arrangements to come to the United States. My entire family, save two, chose exile in a foreign [...]

The votes you cast in this year's election will determine the future of our republic.  Do you believe in the rights of self-determination as bequeathed to us by our founding fathers and defended with generations of American blood, or do you want the state dictating your choices and actions in life.  Do you want to be free [...]

As the older/wiser kid with younger siblings we would, on a daily basis, squabble. I was told by my parents, grandparents, and the nuns at my grade school that "No one can MAKE you do something." No matter how strong the attack or horrifying the threat, it always comes down to your own free will [...]

First the lying dictators said there were no political prisoners in Cuba; then they announced they were releasing them. Where are they? Still in prison, behind bars, or the prison of forced exile.
Today is Dr. Oscar Biscet's birthday, he is 49 years old. Why isn't he free?
We demand the unconditional release of all Cuban political [...]

Happy Independence Day; may God bless America, and may our freedom endure.

I do not support dialog with, negotiation with, or any action that aids or appeases the castro regime. I personally do not knowingly engage in any activity that supports or finances the dictatorship. I do not travel to Cuba, I do not spend money on movies, music, art, or attend concerts or cultural events that [...]

Today is the National Day of Prayer.
If some groups in our country had their way, today would be the last Day of Prayer celebrated nationally. I don't know what their beliefs are (or if they even have any, outside of not believing that there is a God).
But I do know this: There [...]

The money quote, "My vote is a lesson for anyone who pretends to perpetuate himself in power. My vote is so that my son can look at me and say 'Dad you defended democracy," said Antonio Rivera of Lobo's conservative National Party."

From Stand for Freedom in Iran:
So far this year there have been 322 executions, almost as many as the whole of last year, when 381 Iranians were executed.
There is no freedom in religion in Iran, as evidenced by the continuing persecution of the Baha’i faith. Recently, seven Baha’is were arrested on charges of spying for [...]

Val will be attending the Standing up for Freedom in Iran event in New York City today. He'll be reporting in to the Pitbull to update this post. As Jose Martí said, "Man is not free to watch impassively the enslavement and dishonor of men, nor their struggles for liberty and honor."  The tyrants who rule [...]
