‘Tropical China’: Biden’s Plan to Reset Cuba Relations.

It came as no surprise when Jen Psaki, the White House Press Secretary, formally announced on January 28^th that the Biden Administration would revisit American policy towards Communist Cuba. During the presidential campaign, after all, this had been referenced. Psaki asserted in her statement that, like what Barack Obama’s spokesperson claimed in December 2014, Biden’s Cuba policy would be wielded by “two principles”.

One being “support for democracy and human rights” and the other, that “Americans, especially Cuban Americans are the best ambassadors for freedom in Cuba”. The track record for policies of détente (coexistence), or in 21^st century semantics, “engagement”, contradicts the stated objectives of the new administration when it relates to Communist totalitarian regimes. 

The deceitful choreography of employing seductive public relations language like “human rights” and “freedom” to frame foreign policy objectives is disingenuous. Biden’s presidency will restore and reinvigorate the Obama-Castro pact. This would be essentially the practical intent of forging a tropical China model. In other words, a regime where the Castrocommunist Leninist state cohabits with a hybrid economy and coexists with America. This would be consequential with Obama’s comparison of U. S. relations with China, as well as Vietnam.

The Left Confesses Its Election Sins.

Donald J Trump fell way short. The hypothesis that he and his supporters laid out about how the left and its cohorts were conspiring to juggle the 2020 presidential election was off the mark. They severely underestimated the diligence of the conspirators and the depth of their plot.

Molly Ball, in about 6,500 words in her Time essay, falsified the left’s premise that the talk of “rigging” the election was just a conspiracy theory. The left’s plot to “influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information” proved to be a formidable collusion feat carried out by elites to elect a candidate of their choosing.

The magazine’s national political correspondent and biographer of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was clear when she wrote, “There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes…”. Ball called it a “well-funded cabal of powerful people” involving over “150” left-wing organizations, as well as big business, labor, and the technology oligarchy. Its “work”, the Times piece relates, “touched every aspect of the election”.

Sports and Politics Do Not Mix.

The adage that politics and sports do not mix is so true. When it is ideology more so than mere political partisanship, it is destructive. American professional sports have become a political force for one of cultural Marxism’s main tenets: Critical Race Theory. Super Bowl 55 promises to be another inglorious spectacle held hostage by woke culture. This calamity is tragically vascularizing America fast.

There was a day when sports served to ease social tensions. Racial, ethnic, educational, and economic societal differences would find in sporting events the unparalleled remedy of harmony. Disparities were set aside, as rooting for the home team became the paramount intention of the day. Official political inclination pronouncements by the sports enterprises and players, much less a particular worldview, were forbidden fruits in the world of professional athletic competition.  Today, that is no longer the case.

Ronald Reagan: An American Icon.

This February 6^th marks the 110^th anniversary of the birth of Ronald Wilson Reagan. A radio broadcaster, actor, union leader, captain in the U. S. Air Force, governor of California and the 40^th President of the United States, Reagan, for some, had it all stacked up against him. After all, he abandoned the Democratic Party, fought communism and was a full throttle conservative when it was unpopular to be one. In his first presidential cabinet meeting, he laid out in layman’s terms what his objectives would be: “I hate inflation, hate taxes and hate the Soviets”. His tenacity, vision, and political will allowed him to prove the left wrong and carry out a seminal paradigm shift in America that had major repercussions in the world.

The “Reagan Revolution” was a realignment of American exceptionalism. This conservative seismic movement consisted of two components: the Reagan Doctrine and Reaganomics. With both, the 40^th president and his very capable administration tackled massive problems which faced the United States and the Free World. Communism had made enormous global inroads, because of negligent Détente, coexistence-based policies that previous American governments, both Democrats and Republicans embraced, and which the Soviets took advantage of and had a field day. The second calamity front was economic. Stagflation, that fusion of economic stagnation (no growth), high inflation and high unemployment, a by-product of disastrous, decades old, Keynesian-inspired economic schemes, was killing America. Reagan’s Revolution offered liberation.
