Draggingtree Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 : March 21, 2016 By Fausta #Cuba: King Raul couldn’t be bothered to attend Obama’s landing Pres. Obama, his family, Nancy Pelosi, 40 members of Congress and hundreds of businessmen, along with 974 reporters (Mary O’Grady not among them, since she’s been barred from reporting from the island-prison), landed yesterday in Havana in the middle of a downpour. Raul Castro was not present, but sent Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 It’s Holy Week and while no media is calling your attention to it, our Savior is calling to you to walk along the way with Him to Calvary Holy Week is Calling You By Judi McLeod -- Bio and Archives March 21, 2016 It is Holy Week, the week leading up to the Passion of Christ, but don’t expect any media to draw your attention to it. They’re too busy drawing public attention to the Herods and the Pilates of the current day and even seeming to relish in it. Mainstream media hero President Barack Obama is in Cuba where pictures of him and his smiling family members travel the Internet even though dozens of Cuban dissidents were arrested hours before his arrival. For millions of those who have been its victim, there is little to smile about in Communist countries where brutal regimes keep their boots on the throats of the little people.

Draggingtree Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Obama’s Self-Affirmation in Cuba NOAH ROTHMAN / MAR. 21, 2016 “He often used the phrase ‘Yes we can – si se puede,” averred the opening act for the President of the United States upon his historic personal tour of Havana, Cuba. “We can now say ‘Yes we did.'” If anyone had any residual doubt that the presidential visit to this island nation of recalcitrant communist holdouts was about anything other than Barack Obama, that little indulgence should dispel it. Obama’s ego-fueled venture to the island prison nation in the Caribbean was tainted by suspect motives on the president’s part from the moment it was announced. The very minute that Obama revealed his intention to unilaterally thaw relations with Cuba, https://www.commentarymagazine.com/foreign-policy/obamas-self-affirmation-cuba/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggingtree Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Socialism Starves the People: Cuba Edition MARCH 21, 2016 Shawn Ritenour What were the three greatest successes of the revolution? Education, health, and defense. What were the three greatest failures? Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. — Cuban food joke The radio program The Splendid Table recently featured a story about the rediscovery of good food in Cuba. One of the segments featured an interview with writer Tamar Adler whose piece “Why Cuba Is Becoming a Serious Culinary Destination” explains how the gastronomic life of Cubans is beginning to recover from decades of socialism. You can listen to the segment and read excerpts from Adler’s interview by clicking here. Adler explains how Castro’s revolution and regime drove the populace to the brink of starvation. Following the revolution, Cuba’s international trade slowed to a crawl. In response to the question of how Cuba’s isolation effected Cuba’s culinary identity, Adler replied: Severely. The worst of it really started with the collapse of the Soviet Union in the late ’80s and early ’90s. Cuba, like the U.S., was a petroleum-dependent, highly industrialized, agricultural society. It lost all of its oil imports when the Soviet Union collapsed, which resulted in just short of starvation nationwide.https://mises.org/blog/socialism-starves-people-cuba-edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
