Is any man's private life a reflection of his character, or of his ability to lead a nation? In the case of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, we Cubans have known for a long time that something was rotten in the Kingdom of Camelot, and that the king himself was rotten to the core. Now [...]

Mauricio Claver-Carone in the Miami Herald:
Support Cuba’s dissidents, commissioners
Among Cubans and Cuban Americans, a number of foreign companies have earned a place in the “hall of infamy” for their outright complicity with the Castro dictatorship. These include Spain’s Sol-Melia hotel chain and Canada’s Sherritt mining company for profiting from long years of the Castros’ apartheid [...]

It is Saturday morning, the last day of CPAC 2012, and yesterday was indeed an interesting day. Returning from a meeting outside the hotel, I came up the escalator of the Metro station located right outside CPAC to find a gaggle of Occupy protestors holding up signs and mindlessly chanting. I could not understand what [...]

So now they’re backing down, just an inch. Maybe an inch and a quarter.
But at this point, all one can see is smoke and mirrors.
About an hour ago, the White House announced that it had made an "accommodation" to the new federal mandate that would require all employers –including Catholic hosptitals and social service [...]

I think we all know who I'd like to see as my candidate in a brokered convention.
Conservatives gathered in Washington this week are increasingly relishing the prospect that the Republican presidential nomination fight will extend for months, and could even lead to a brokered convention in Tampa, Fla., this summer.
Fueled by former [...]

Doesn't mean we have to take the field with the same team.
There was substantial controversy in the conservative blogosphere about Clint Eastwood's ad for Chrysler in which the actor/director claims it's halftime in America. Many feel that it's a not so subliminal endorsement of the Obama administration. Critics of the ad point to the half-time [...]

Val and I are having a great time at CPAC 2012 in Washington D.C. We are meeting plenty of wonderful folks and fellow bloggers trying our best to help them understand the miserable situation in Cuba. We are still amazed how many well-meaning people are out there who are not aware of the atrocities that [...]

The Obama administration's latest overreach regarding health care has been the cause of a lot wrenching of hair and gnashing of teeth. At the root of the kerfuffle is the announcement by the administration's Health and Human Services department that employer-sponsored health plans will have to provide birth control with no co-pay. The outrage has [...]

I guess yelling and screaming does work:
"With the White House under fire for its new rule requiring employers including religious organizations to offer health insurance that fully covers birth control coverage, ABC News has learned that later today the White House — possibly President Obama himself — will likely announce an [...]

Raul Castro and Che Guevara availing themselves of state-of-the-art U.S. communications equiptment provided them by CIA operatives in Santiago Cuba, Robert Weicha and Park Wollam (1957-58)

Don't end economic sanctions on Castro regime
The 50th anniversary of the establishment of US sanctions by President John F. Kennedy on the Castro regime in Cuba is an excellent moment to reflect on whether they should be maintained, changed, strengthened or abolished. The argument made below in 2003 [...]

At least the Castro regime was able to copy something we have correctly: Ecured, the Castro dictatorship's version of Wikipedia, is just as useless and filled with leftist propaganda as our own Wikipedia.

Opinion: Illusions of Cuba clash with reality
Of the four remaining Republican presidential candidates, Ron Paul’s foreign policy views really stand out. His libertarian “we love everybody” mentality is naïve at best and dangerous at worst. His Cuba policy is a perfect example.
Rep. Paul easily dismisses serious threats posed [...]
