Here’s Why Russia Bullies the U.S.
The doddering Biden-Harris administration, frail and without a moral compass, appears to be no match for the Russian despot.
The Biden-Harris administration celebrated its one-year anniversary, embarrassed and defeated. Its project to bring socialism to the U. S. has so far failed. Both, in the popular front by the non-elitist, non-woke, traditionalist American society (the majority) and in Congress, the Left is witnessing an adamant resistance. The inflation rate is the highest in nearly four decades. Its one-dimensional, unscientific covid policy is a disgrace. The missed liberation opportunity in Cuba, and the collapse of Afghanistan demonstrate that American resolve, under this presidency, is infirm. Russia has added to the country’s woes and is now bullying America.
Despite denying that an invasion of Ukraine is imminent, Vladimir Putin has amassed over 100,000 Russian troops on the sovereign country’s border. In 2014, confronting the flimsy leadership of another Democratic president (Barack Obama), Russia transgressed Ukrainian territory and stole Crimea. Putin has been making the same arguments about the Russian minority in Ukraine that Adolf Hitler made about ethnic Germans in the Sudetenland and Austria when Germany invaded and seized those territories. Had Hitler not had a weak counterpart like Neville Chamberlain, history may have taken a different course. Likewise, Putin is acting on his perceptions of the Biden-Harris leadership formula.

Why Does the Left Dishonor MLK?.
The truth is that Martin Luther King, Jr. was not a socialist. The left hates him because he believed in our great nation and advocated for a colorblind society.
As the United States honors Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK), the American Left has been comprehensively engaged in dismantling his work, belief system, and legacy. MLK believed in America and embraced her exceptionalism creed. Equality under the law, in a colorblind society, was what the civil rights activist peacefully fought for. Black Lives Matter (BLM), the Biden-Harris administration, the Democratic Party, Marxist Critical Race Theory (CRT) pundits, and corporate media are just some of leftism’s entourage that antithetically seek to deconstruct MLK’s dream.
There are vast philosophical, epistemological, and methodological differences between the civil rights movement that MLK founded and lead, and the socialist revolution that CRT activists conspire to bring about. The Left’s source of knowledge that underpins its actions are worlds apart from MLK’s. The BLM’s strategy for dealing with perceived deficiencies in race relations contradicts the Baptist minister’s mode of challenging the system.

Democrats Will Cheat Their Way into the 2022 Midterm Elections.
If the country can survive this latest deconstruction maneuver, it should make it to the midterm elections without any problems.
The Democrats are in desperation mode. They can already feel the red wave of the 2022 midterm elections that will block their chances to make America socialist. President Joe Biden embarrassed himself further and additionally alienated his party from the American people with a ludicrously charged speech in Georgia on Tuesday on electoral laws. Aside from the Trump derangement components of the presidential rant, it signaled the Democrat’s 2022 midterm election strategy: repeat the 2020 mail-in cheating scheme.
“The goal of the former president and his allies is to disenfranchise anyone who votes against them… That’s the kind of power you see in totalitarian states, not in democracies,” Biden insisted. The radicalness of the president’s language is in sync with his party’s leadership.

Interview with Irina Vilariño: A Success Story of a Cuban Restaurant.
A republican political system, with its natural economic complement of a free enterprise model, brings out the best in people.
When Fidel Castro loosened the cracks on the Mariel Boatlift of 1980 —an attempted face-saving reactive strategy after the humiliation of having over 10,000 Cubans storm the Peruvian Embassy in Havana in less than 24 hours in search of freedom— the Cuban dictator had no idea how much talent and entrepreneurship spirit was leaving Cuba. The Vilariño family is one such example.
Irina Vilariño, one of the five daughters of Antonio and Nilda, bears witness to the opportunities rendered upon their arrival in the United States in 1980. Not speaking English, but fully determined to make the American Dream a reality, after much sacrifice and in search of opportunities, the Vilariño family opened their first restaurant in Hollywood four years after their arrival.
