…an island on the net without a bearded dictator

We remember the great Luis Tiant who was born in Marianao, Cuba on this day in 1940 and died in 2024 Luis was born in a family of pitchers. His father was Luis Eleuterio Tiant, who pitched professionally in the old Negro Leagues in the US as well as in Mexico. Unfortunately, he never got to the majors because of the color line, but it happened. My father did remember Luis Senior in the Cuban leagues. He was a nasty left-hander!
My guest Frank Burke, author, businessman, and contributor to American Thinker, joins me in a look at the 54th anniversary of President Kennedy’s death and his legacy, if it’s time to review his presidency differently, and other stories
Well, a funny thing happened on the road to a new presidential term. Yes, Moody’s, the investment firm, dropped some bad news about the Mexican situation.
If you forgot, it was the late Charles Krauthammer who penned the derangement syndrome tune. He did it back in 2003 about then President George W. Bush.
The week in review with Bill Katz the editor of Urgent Agenda. The GOP won the House and Senate, Trump picks a Cabinet and names a very controversial AG candidate, and on the foreign front, the Biden administration authorizes Ukraine to use long range missiles against Russia. Lots of talk about the Harris campaign paying celebrities and ending up with a $20 million deficit.
We remember Roberto C. Goizueta, who was born in Havana, Cuba on this day in 1931. He died in 1997.
What are the challenges for the two countries on the border, trade issues and the millions living in the U.S.? We discuss these topics with blogger Allan Wall, blogger and South Texas Conservative radio host and public speaker George Rodriguez.
The “Why did Hispanics vote for Trump?” debate goes on. Some liberal commentators are saying Hispanics voted against their own interests. Really? Isn’t that a bit insulting? In other words, what does a liberal pundit know about how millions voted? How about more respect, please?
U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar is sort of saying goodbye to Mexico. He will be replaced by the incoming Trump administration. This week, Ambassador Salazar shook up things south of the border with a very undiplomatic message.
Once again, I don’t watch “The View.” Like many of you, I get my “views” on internet posts that feature the latest from Joy, Ana, Whoopie, and Asuncion aka Sunny. Thirty-second clips are all I can take from this crew. Thanks to all those who post the clips so I don’t have to watch it.
It appears that Jack Smith will finally stop pursuing President Trump. It’s about time, because this “lawfare” has been devastating for the rule of law. It’s banana republic stuff!
As my late mother used to say, reality will eventually hit you between the eyes. She was a lot less diplomatic in how she said it in Spanish, but we got the point. I think she would scream at a Democrats today: I’m Latina not Latinx, or whatever they want to call it, you fool, or something like that.
