An Aggressive Foreign Policy is Needed Against the Castro Regime
Cuba’s involvement in drug trafficking should be one of America’s national security concerns and acted upon.
While Castro-Communism is busy sentencing Cubans to decades-long prison terms for peacefully protesting, augmenting its state terror apparatus, weaponizing its anti-embargo lobby abroad, and fine-tuning its socialist legalism to violate fundamental human rights, the Biden-Harris administration’s reaction is to potentially expand its diplomatic body in Havana and facilitate remittances to the island. Both measures are precisely in line with what the Marxist-Leninist dictatorship needs for survivability.
Cuba does not have an immigration problem. It does have a scarcity problem. It lies in the absence of basic natural rights, as well as material and social deprivation. The acute state of institutionalized pauperism is regime-driven. The exception to this rule is, of course, the Castro family and the minuscule elite circle that circumferences the country’s dictatorial power structure. This criminal element is responsible for Cuba’s destitution and immoral governance which will benefit from the transfer of wealth of the remittances.

Latino Immigrants Are Most Affected by Democratic Policies: Immigration Expert
“There is no coherence between immigration policies and the law of this country,” said lawyer and immigration specialist Santiago Alpizar.
“There is no coherence between immigration policies and the law of this country,” said lawyer and immigration specialist Santiago Alpizar, with whom we talked about migration policies, mainly of democrats, and the laws of the country.
In an interview conducted by Julio Shiling, Alpizar, who has more than 19 years of experience, talked about “Pies secos, pies mojados”, known as wet feet, dry feet policy in English, a policy promoted by the United States for Cuban migrants. On January 12, 2017, President Barack Obama announced the immediate cessation of that measure.

The Pro-Genocide Olympics and the West’s Shameful Complicity
The complicity of America and the West with the Genocide Olympics should serve notice that free societies are, indeed, in danger of self-immolation.
The West is in moral decadence. The 2022 Winter Olympic Games hosted by communist China is an emblematic symptom of the ethical debasement taking place in the world’s democracies. It reveals something additional. The problem is not just a moral one. It is existential. The free world, by its own misgivings, is making itself an endangered species. The genocidal communist regime in Beijing has only acted upon this opportunity.
We look back at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin with shame. How could democracies take part in such a scheme that served National Socialism’s self-interest? Although the antisemitic policies and actions of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi Party) preceded the actual Holocaust, the heinous practice of concentration camp confinement and murder of Jews began officially in 1941. That was 5 years after the shameful presence of athletes representing free societies playing into the Nazi propaganda ploy. Apologists for the 1936 games excused themselves by pleading ignorance and lamenting their inability to predict future events.
