Fidel Castro Passed Away!

The world is mourning the loss of Cuba's former leader Fidel Castro.

Fidel Castro, the legendary leader in the Caribbean nation of Cuba has passed away at the age of 90. World leaders have sent their condolences to the former Cuban president. Born Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz, he led Cuba throughout the Cold War. He was icon in Cuba as well as her in the United States.

Here in the United States, I can only imagine how conservatives are screaming for joy knowing an "enemy" of the country is gone.

Castro was the leader of the 1959 Cuban Revolution. He lead a coalition of Cubans to overthrow U.S.-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista. Castro ruled the island nation for nearly 50 years. His supporters say that he was for the people. His detractors said that he was a dictator and cruel despot who suppressed opposition.

He would test the United States by thumbing his finger in the eye of 10 presidents.

In 2006, Castro would face ill health and couldn't lead the nation. He would pass his legacy to his younger brother Raul. Raul Castro announced the news on state television tonight.

Castro spent his final years in seclusion and made some appearances with foreign dignitaries. He would also take to a blog to talk about the world events. The junk food media over here broke into local programming to express their know nothing opinions.

He was born in Cuba. He was upset over the Batista government and how it was cruelly treating the people of Cuba. Castro was aided by guerrilla war strategist Che Guevara. They fought the Cuban leader and defeated him. Castro would become the prime minister of Cuba.

He would criticize the United States after the CIA-lead Bay of Pigs Invasion. He would ban all Americans propeties from the island. That in turn led to the embargo of Cuba. This is still in effect. President Barack Obama eased tensions with Cuba by lifting sanctions against the island.

Castro would spark the Cold War when he said that the United Socialist Soviet Republic (USSR/Soviet Union/Russia) and their nuclear weapons are welcomed in Cuba.

Castro would be sworn in as president of Cuba in 1976.

Castro played a role in the Elian Gonzalez affair. The Cuban government demanded the U.S. to return the boy to his father. The U.S. rightfully so by force. It was the iconic picture of a frightened boy with U.S. Marshals armed pulling him from a closet. The U.S. and Cuba would negotiate a refugee agreement after that.

Throughout the Cold War, Castro was considered a threat to the U.S.

Expect President Barack Obama and his successor, that controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/dictator in waiting Donald J. Trump to respond to the news.

Cubans exiles are cheering the death.

The nation of Cuba uses economic Communism. Castro believed that the government should give the land back to the people and to defend the rights of the poor. Some didn't agree to Communism and opposed him. But all threats were quickly stopped. Some middle class Cubans would flee to Florida to settle after Castro threatened imprisonment and death to people who tried to overthrow him.

Janet Reno Passed Away!

Janet Reno passed away. She was the first woman appointed as the Attorney General of the United States.

Breaking today is the death of the first woman appointed as the Attorney General of the United States. Janet Reno passed away overnight. She was 78 years old. The complications of Parkinson's Disease led to her death.

Reno is best known for being the toughest female top cop. Bill Clinton appointed Reno to become the Attorney General in 1993. She served throughout Clinton's two terms.

She would be involved in the deadly World Trade Center attack of 1993, the Waco stand off, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Atlanta Olympic Park bombing and the Columbine massacre. The Elian Gonzalez affair was a controversial issue.

Born in 1938, Reno grew up in Miami, Florida, with parents who both worked as reporters for Miami newspapers. After attending Cornell University for her undergraduate degree, Reno enrolled at Harvard University for law school in the early 1960s. During her first year, she heard one of her heroes, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, speak at the Sanders Theater.

"She was so wonderful and her voice was still so clear and so magnificent," Reno later recalled in a 1993 speech to the Women's Bar Association. "And I went up to her afterwards, and I said, "Mrs. Roosevelt, I think you are perfectly wonderful." And I will never forget her looking at me and saying, 'Why, thank you, my dear. Those words mean so much to me.' And she seemed to mean it."

When Clinton's administration was rocked by the Whitewater scandal, Reno was the person tasked with appointing special prosecutor Robert Fiske to lead the probe in 1994.

The Clintons were never charged with criminal wrongdoing.

In Clinton's second term -- months before his impeachment -- the Republican-controlled House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform voted to cite Reno for contempt of Congress for failing to hand over key memos.

Reno eventually provided those documents. Congress never moved forward with a vote on the matter.

News hits the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign today knowing that she will not be indicted in the email server.

Conservative Outrage Over Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda!

Conservatives complain about the president being at a baseball game in Cuba and not in Washington watching the events happening in Belgium. The Obamas and Raul Castro (right) enjoy a Tampa Bay Rays game.

The tongue is the only muscle that Republicans use when it comes to fighting terrorism. 

If saying divisive statements, profiling groups and threatening unknown assailants is the key to stopping terrorism, then I think we're doomed. It wouldn't make sense for the president to stop what he's doing to show up in Belgium. He would be a distraction and it won't accomplish nothing.

The president already ordered law enforcement agencies to aid Belgium. He is working with the State Department to find out if any Americans are hurt during the Brussels attack.

It didn't happen in the United States. It could happen. I mean the "NICE GUY" is the most dangerous person to have a firearm and an explosive device. If it happened in the United States, he would immediately head back home to handle the situation.

Conservative outrage over the president being in Cuba and Argentina than rushing back to Washington, DC for a terrorist attack in Belgium.

See many in the junk food media already saw it coming. They knew the conservative agitators would waste no time attacking President Barack Obama for not acting tough on terrorism.

In a historical visit to the island nation of Cuba, the president address the junk food media. Obama hopes to repair the relations to the Communist nation that the U.S. considered an enemy for over 50 years.


The president watched a baseball game. The Tampa Bay Rays got an opportunity to play a baseball game with the Cubans as a part of an American-Cuban exhibition game.

All three GOP presidential candidates condemned the president's moves this morning.

'President Obama is spending his time going to baseball games with the Castros,' said Sen. Ted Cruz, who is running for the Republican nomination for president, according to reporting from ABC News' Rick Klein.

Cruz, who is half-Cuban, had already come out against the Obama family's historic trip to Cuba this week, but the fact that the president's schedule will stay intact after the attacks was more salt on the wound.

Ted Cruz immediately went into this rant about the president not saying "radial Islam".
Attacks in Belgium kills nearly 50 people.
Cruz believed that if the feds and local law enforcement agencies would profile Muslims, then none of this stuff could happen in the United States.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, also running for president, soon chimed in making a similar demand.

'The president must return home immediately and get to work with our allies to respond with strength against the enemies of the west,' Kasich wrote.

Not to be outdone, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump soon chimed in.

'President Obama looks and sounds so ridiculous making his speech in Cuba, especially in the shadows of Brussels. He is being treated badly!' The Donald tweeted.

Donald Trump said that he was right on the Brussels attack. He called the president pathetic for not stopping his Cuban trip to return back to the United States. Trump once called Brussels a "hellhole" for it's diverse population which happens to include Muslims and immigrants from Syria.

Conservatives agitators in the junk food media were screaming out the anal cavities watching the president doing the wave at the baseball game.

See what the conservative fail to understand is that if we fear terrorism, they will win. Terrorists want to disrupt lives of people. We already know that. This stuff existed since.

What angers me is the fact that 324 million people should just stop what we're doing because a tragedy occurred in a foreign country.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND CONSERVATIVES GIVE THE TERRORISTS ACCESS TO FIREARMS. 

THE REPUBLICANS ARE MAKING IT EASIER FOR TERRORISTS TO OBTAIN EXPLOSIVES AND FIREARMS BECAUSE OF THEIR INEPT RESPONSE TO GUN VIOLENCE.
Desperate Ted Cruz now calls for profiling of American Muslims.
President Obama spoke today by phone with Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel to offer his condolences on behalf of the American people following today’s horrific terrorist attacks in Brussels. The President reaffirmed the steadfast support of the United States for Belgium, and offered any assistance necessary in investigating these attacks and bringing those responsible to justice. The President reiterated that the United States stands together with the people of Belgium, as well as NATO and the European Union, and once again pledged the full cooperation and support of the United States in our shared commitment to defeat the scourge of terrorism.

World News Today send our condolences to those lost in this senseless tragedy.

Obama Enjoying A Cuban Sandwich!

Barack Obama, Michelle Obama,
President Barack Obama visits Havana.

Cue the conservative outrage.

President Barack Obama, his family. a few lawmakers and business leaders are heading to the island nation of Cuba. The first in a long time a U.S. president ever visited the island.

The president will be down there for a few days on a historic trip to the communist nation.

Of course, conservatives and outrage pimps will throw up the "red scare" and the evils of communism.

The United States and Cuba had tension during the 1960s and it led to an embargo of products.

"This is a historic visit and a historic opportunity," Obama said as he greeted staff of the new U.S. Embassy in Havana.

Air Force One touched down on a rainy, overcast day in the Cuban capital. The president was joined by wife Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha.

Obama was greeted by top Cuban officials — but not President Raul Castro. The Cuban leader frequently greets major world figures upon their arrival at Jose Marti International Airport, but was absent on the tarmac. Instead, he planned to greet Obama on Monday at the Palace of the Revolution.

Obama's whirlwind trip is a crowning moment in his and Castro's ambitious effort to restore normal relations between their countries. While deep differences persist, the economic and political relationship has changed rapidly in the 15 months since the leaders vowed a new beginning.

After greeting embassy staff, Obama and his family toured Old Havana by foot, despite a heavy downpour. They walked gingerly on the slippery wet stones in the square in front of the Havana Cathedral. A few hundred people gathered in the square erupted in applause and shouted Obama's name as the first family stepped forward.

The Obamas then dined at a privately-owned restaurant in a bustling, working class neighborhood. Jubilant crowds surged toward the president's heavily fortified motorcade as it inched through the San Cristobal restaurant.

For more than 50 years, Cuba was an unimaginable destination for a U.S. president, as well as most American citizens. The U.S. severed diplomatic relations with Cuba in 1961 after Fidel Castro's revolution sparked fears of communism spreading to the Western Hemisphere. Domestic politics in both countries contributed to the continued estrangement well after the Cold War ended.

"He wanted to come to Cuba with all his heart," 79-year-old Odilia Collazo said in Spanish as she watched Obama's arrival live on state television. "Let God will that this is good for all Cubans. It seems to me that Obama wants to do something good before he leaves."

Ahead of Obama's arrival, counter-protesters and police broke up an anti-government demonstration by the Ladies in White group, whose members were taken into custody by female police officers in a scene that plays out in Havana each Sunday. They're typically detained briefly and then released.
The people of Cuba were excited to see an American president on their island.
Obama's visit was highly anticipated in Cuba, where workers furiously cleaned up the streets in Old Havana and gave buildings a fresh coat of paint ahead of his arrival. American flags were raised alongside the Cuban colors in parts of the capital, an improbable image for those who have lived through a half-century of bitterness between the two countries.

Many Cubans stayed home in order to avoid extensive closures of main boulevards. The city's seaside Malecon promenade was largely deserted Sunday morning except for a few cars, joggers, fishermen and pelicans.

The president's schedule in Cuba is jam-packed, including an event with U.S. and Cuban entrepreneurs. But much of Obama's visit was about appealing directly to the Cuban people and celebrating the island's vibrant culture.

"I don't think that the Cuban people are going to be bewitched by North American culture," Gustavo Machin, Cuba's deputy director of U.S. affairs, told The Associated Press. "We don't fear ties with the United States."

A highlight of Obama's visit comes Tuesday when he joins Castro and a crowd of baseball-crazed Cubans for a game between the beloved national team and Major League Baseball's Tampa Bay Rays. The president also planned a speech at the Grand Theater of Havana laying out his vision for greater freedoms and more economic opportunity in Cuba.

Two years after taking power in 2008, Castro launched economic and social reforms that appear slow-moving to many Cubans and foreigners, but are lasting and widespread within Cuban society. The changes have allowed hundreds of thousands of people to work in the private sector and have relaxed limits on cellphones, Internet and Cubans' comfort with discussing their country's problems in public, for example.
The president and First Lady Michelle Obama greet children at a local school.
The Cuban government has been unyielding, however, on making changes to its single-party political system and to the strict limits on media, public speech, assembly and dissent.

Obama will spend some time talking with Cuban dissidents. The White House said such a meeting was a prerequisite for the visit. But there were no expectations that he would leave Cuba with significant pledges from the government to address Washington's human rights concerns.

A major focus for Obama was pushing his Cuba policy to the point it will be all but impossible for the next president to reverse it. That includes highlighting new business deals by American companies, including hotel chains Starwood and Marriott and online lodging service Airbnb.

Castro and Obama are working out an agreement to get things done. Republicans on stateside are working on creating the turmoils.

As you know, the Republicans are so freaking tough. Their tongues are the only muscle being flexed when handling a foreign threat.

Special thanks to the Associated Press for reporting this historical event.

Obama Is Taking A Cuban Vacation!

Cuba is a beautiful country.


Already, the dorky robot Marco Rubio slammed President Barack Obama for not attending the funeral of Anthony Scalia. He also went after the president for doing something that he'll never do.

Visit a country that the United States once called an enemy.

As expected, Rubio, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and the conservative agitators will blast Obama for his announced trip to the island of Cuba. He will take the trip in March to visit the American diplomatic post and interact with Cuban leader Raul Castro.

This will be the first time in 80 years, a sitting U.S. president will visit the Communist nation.

The United States and Cuba have established relations after decades of bitter feuding.
Like a boss. President Barack Obama opened relations with Cuba and managed to get Iran to disarm their nuclear weapons.
A National Security Council official plans to make the announcement tomorrow at the White House briefing.

The trip is planned for March 21-22 before the president flies to Argentina.

The move comes roughly 15 months following the president's pledge with Raul Castro to reopen diplomatic channels following a prisoner exchange and the humanitarian release of U.S. contractor Alan Gross in December 2014.

Since the announcement, the two countries have had a series of diplomatic talks, leading to the reopening of embassies last summer and the recent deal restoring commercial air traffic.

The last and only sitting U.S. president to visit the island nation only 90 miles south of the Florida keys was Calvin Coolidge, in 1928, to address the Sixth Annual International Conference of American States in Havana.

He met with Cuba's President Gerardo Machado, who was in office from 1925 to 1933, until he was forced into exile.

President Jimmy Carter traveled to Cuba in 2002, 20 years after leaving office, at the invitation of President Fidel Castro.

Carter also made a trip in 2011.

GOP Wants To Pull The Anchor On Children!

Conservatives are supporting the repeal of the 14th Amendment which gives any child born here automatic citizenship.

Clarification: I want you to know that many people in American Samoa want to be U.S. citizens.

They are considered U.S. nationals. They are required to have passports to enter the United States.

They have to use special privileges to enter the country. They are not considered foreign citizens but are treated as such. There are residents from American Samoa who serve in the military.

Unfortunately, they get no citizenship or veteran assistance without filling out their papers.

People who are born in Puerto Rico aren't immigrants. They are U.S. Citizens. The territory is semi-autonomous. It's considered a commonwealth with organized status with the United States. The main language spoken by residents is Spanish.

94% of the Puerto Ricans speak Spanish. Some people consider Puerto Ricans immigrants. That's not the case. They are American citizens. The territory is a commonwealth. It's a semi-autonomous territory that is in political union with the United States.
Concern trolling.
Okay, the immigration issue came front and center after The Donald bitched about illegals coming to the country. He rose in the polls after six incidents of criminal behavior by undocumented workers.

Republicans are following The Donald. Jeb Bush slid to the fifth or sixth place in recent polls. He is desperate to knock Donald Trump out the lead.

The Donald is a clear front runner in this race and yet many still look at this as a sideshow.

Trump's reaction to calling children born of illegal immigrants "anchor babies" became the newest de jour of conservative outrage.

Conservatives are happy that Trump is saying these things. According to the conservatives, they're tired of trying to be "politically correct" and being called "racist". They don't want to be silenced anymore about their bigotry or utter ignorance.

There are calls for the repeal of the 14th Amendment. It contains the phrase of birthright citizenship.
Trump and Bush are fighting for the lead.
The Republicans are now on board for this. Instead of working on immigration reform, they continue to push the narrative that everyone who is illegal should get the fuck out the country.

Matter of fact, three of the candidates running in the clown car are children of immigrants.

Piyush "Bobby" Jindal's family is from India. He is a descendant of immigrants.

Marco Antonio Rubio 's family is from Cuba. He is a descendant of immigrants.

Rafael Edward  "Ted" Cruz's family is from Cuba. He was born in Calgary, Canada. But since his mother is an American born citizen who didn't claim residence in Canada, he is an American.

Republicans are in agreement that the United States-Mexico border needs to be secured. They figure that this is more important than infrastructure or jobs. They fault President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, immigrants, Blacks, Muslims, the gays, the non-religious, the poor, the needy, and independent women as the real reasons for the country's downfall.

Reince Priebus was trying to make the party more inclusive.

The insurgent candidates won't allow that to happen.

Marco Rubio: If I'm President, Cuba Will Be Bombed On Day One!

Obama is giving Cuba an unprecedented victory. If I'm elected president, I will put Cuba back on the state sponsors of terrorism. 

This clown Marco Rubio, the senator from Florida got steam coming out of his ears. After hearing the news of the United States easing tension with Cuba, he comes "Straight Outta Miami" bitching about the president giving Fidel and Raul Castro a victory.

The hip-hop Republican got an opportunity to take time from butter cows, fried Snickers and bacon busters to catch the hit movie "Straight Outta Compton". He said that he'll break from the seriousness of being a candidate to watch a movie. 

Really?

Can't wait til it hits DVD or Netflix?

When you're the President of the United States, movies are the last thing on the mind of an American leader.

The clown rose in his polls. He's either in fifth or sixth place. That means Jeb Bush and Scott Walker are in the bottom tier. 

Of course, The Donald, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, and Carly Fiorina are the front runners. Rubio is the fifth man. 
Secretary of State John Kerry watches the flag raising at the American embassy in Cuba.
With the president trying to ease tensions with Cuba and Iran, Republicans are throwing cold water on the idea. According to Republicans, talking to nations we have no diplomatic ties to is equivalent to appeasement.

On Friday, Secretary of State John Kerry went to Havana. He was there for historical raising of the American flag. This is the sign of tensions easing with the lifting of the travel ban.

The travel ban was lifted after President Barack Obama lifted Cuba off the state sponsors of terrorism listing. He got a challenge ahead of him. He is pushing to eliminate the embargo. The inept Republican controlled Congress vow to fight him on this. Also the Iranian nuclear deal as well.

Rubio is an opportunist.

Some consultants are looking at the dingleberry Ohio governor John Kasich picking MC Rubio as a running mate.

The United States And Cuba Open Relations!

Change is in the air. The United States has officially opened up the Cuban Embassy.


When the critics say President Barack Obama hasn't done nothing for the world, you shake your head, take a heavy sigh and just move past them. Don't argue with people two feet in the manure.

Don't argue with people who are vehemently stuck in their ways. They will die knowing that they feel right about something even though they're wrong.

Because you clearly see progress in action. The president despite having an inept Congress managed to do more work in his lame duck session than the lawmakers who threaten to unravel progress.

President Barack Obama met with Cuban president Raul Castro at the Summit of Americas and the Nelson Mandela funeral. He told the Cuban president that Pope Francis urged him to make peace with the island nation.

The United States and Cuba are establishing relations once again. The Cuban Embassy is now open in Washington, DC. The American Embassy will be open in Havana.

Secretary of State John Kerry was there for the grand opening of the embassy.

President Barack Obama was confident to improve relations with the Caribbean nation. The nation and the U.S. had some rough relations during the days of Raul's brother Fidel Castro. The Cuban government is pressuring American lawmakers to end the longtime Cuban embargo.

It's coming and we just have to get the inept Congress to do something about it.

A new day has dawn.... The U.S. and Cuba are back on good terms.

By the way, if the inept Congress lifts the embargo, then Americans who seek asylum in Cuba may want to be cautious of the feds coming if you're a criminal.

Afeni Shakur, the aunt of Tupac Shakur is wanted on terrorism charges and murder. She might want to consider coming back to the U.S. before the FBI comes knocking on her door.

One Monumental Handshake Leads To Conservative Outrage!

Barack Obama and Raul Castro shake hands as Ban Ki-moon looks on, before the inauguration of the VII Summit of the Americas in Panama City
The historical handshake between U.S. president Barack Obama and Cuban president Raul Castro signals progress. Conservatives are foaming at the mouth over this.

President Barack Obama heads down to Panama for the Summit of Americas. During his visit the junk food media is covering the monumental handshake with Cuba's president Raul Castro.

The powerful symbolism of a substantial exchange Saturday between the leaders with the leadership of the Western Hemisphere gathered around them could signal progress. Both sides are still working through nettlesome issues that would lead to the opening of embassies in Washington and Havana, the first stage in a new diplomatic relationship.

The United States is turning the page and willing to engage with Cuba. The president will talk to Castro and consider lifting Cuba off the list of state sponsored terrorist nations.

Obama believes the time has come to lift the embargo against the Communist nation. The conservative outrage is off the chain. They believe that Cuba is still a threat to the United States.

The president is trying to ease tension with the island nation. It's been over 50 years, and many young voters support the idea of talking to Cuba and Iran. Many old school Cubans, the racist right, and agitators are foaming at the mouth complaining about how shaking hands with Castro is disgusting.

Cuba's Raul Castro and his brother the former dictator Fidel have been in power for years. According to the media, their regime has killed thousands of Cubans during the revolution.

The peak of conflict happened when then president John F. Kennedy launched the Bay of Pigs invasion.

The conservatives believe that this appeasing, anti-Semitic, Socialist, Commie, aloof, racist, Muslim Obama is weak on foreign policy. They believe that talking to Iran and Cuba is treasonous.

The Republicans threaten to derail any talks with Cuba and Iran.

Defying the odds is makes Barack Obama a great president. He isn't afraid to engage with the countries the junk food media label as enemies.

The Republicans claim that Obama is willing to talk to "our enemies" and "shun our friends".

This stems from the Benjamin Netanyahu fiasco. The controversial Israeli prime minister is trying to encourage American lawmakers to push for more sanctions against Iran. The global powers are coming to an agreement on the Iranian nuclear program.

The Republicans are trying to stall or pass legislation to derail this historical deal.

Will Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appear on GOP Sundays to bitch about the handshake?

Bob Menendez Got Caught Up!

Not going down without a fight... The words of embattled Democratic politico Bob Menendez of New Jersey.

You got served! Democratic U.S. Senator Bob Menendez got his ass caught up in a corruption probe.

Paging Melanie Sloan of the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. We got another one.

The longtime Democratic Senator from New Jersey is going up the creek soon and he's acting like nothing is happening. Signs of trouble for Menendez.

The U.S. Justice Department is preparing criminal corruption charges against New Jersey Democratic Senator Robert Menendez, CNN reported on Friday.

Citing unnamed sources briefed on the case, CNN said the charges center on allegations that Menendez used his office to promote the business interests of a Democratic donor and friend in exchange for gifts.

Menendez's office denied any wrongdoing.

"As we have said before, we believe all of the senator's actions have been appropriate and lawful, and the facts will ultimately confirm that," Tricia Enright, Menendez's communications director, said in a statement.

Noting that the official investigation of the matter was ongoing, she said the senator's office "cannot address allegations being made anonymously."

CNN said Attorney General Eric Holder has given the green light for prosecutors to proceed with charges and an announcement could arrive in coming weeks.

Holder, who was traveling in South Carolina with President Barack Obama, said he could not comment.

Justice Department officials declined to comment.

If charges are brought against Menendez it is possible he would have to step down from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where he is the top Democrat.

Federal authorities have probed Menendez's relationship with Florida ophthalmologist Salomon Melgen, a Democratic donor who has been accused of overbilling the Medicare program.

CNN said the government's case focuses on Melgen and, in part, on plane trips that Menendez took in 2010 to the Dominican Republic as a guest of Melgen.

Prosecutors also are focusing on whether Menendez advocated for Melgen's business interest in a Dominican Republic government contract for port screening equipment, CNN said.

Menendez is one of the critics of President Barack Obama's approach with disarming nuclear weapons with Iran. He was one of the many butt kissers for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

This wasn't the first time. He was being probed in a child sexual abuse case in the Dominican Republic. The guy being his money man who is also indicted took him to the country.Them big time Democratic donors were inviting him to meet some hoes. Some of them hoes were underage.

He, Stallmigo Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) are the Cuban-American politicos currently serving in the Senate.

Cory Booker is the Democratic senator from New Jersey. He is an ally to Menendez.

U.S. Talking With Cuba!

Break the ice. In a historical move, President Barack Obama is set to announce that the United States is going to lift the ban on Cuba.

The Cold War is over. It's been announced that the United States will repair relations with Cuba.

Certainly it's going to piss off the racist right. After all, it's something that's been in the works for years. Their sworn enemy has shaken hands with Raul Castro some time ago when Nelson Mandela passed away.

This is the biggest shift of diplomacy in 50 years.

American officials say the U.S. and Cuba will start talks to normalize full diplomatic relations as part of the most significant shift in U.S. policy toward the communist island in decades.

Officials say the U.S. is also looking to open an embassy in Havana in the coming months. The moves are part of an agreement between the U.S. and Cuba that also includes the release of American Alan Gross and three Cubans jailed in Florida for spying.
Alan Gross the American accused of spying in Cuba was released.
Gross has been released from Cuba after five years in prison, a senior Obama administration official tells the AP. The official says Gross has departed Cuba on a US government plane bound for the United States. He was released on humanitarian grounds by the Cuban government at the request of the United States, per the official. ABC News reports that his release comes as part of a "landmark humanitarian prisoner exchange" that Obama will announce today, and an overhaul in US-Cuba relations born from more than a year of "secret back-channel talks at the highest levels of both governments." Obama is set to speak at noon today, reports CNN.

The AP reports the three Cubans released in exchange for Gross are part of the so-called Cuban Five—a group of men who were part of the "Wasp Network" sent by Cuba's then-President Fidel Castro to spy in South Florida. The men, who are hailed as heroes in Cuba, were convicted in 2001 in Miami on charges including conspiracy and failure to register as foreign agents in the US. Two of the Cuban Five were previously released after finishing their sentences. Today's news comes two weeks after Gross' wife said her husband was "literally wasting away" in prison, having lost more than 100 pounds—as well as five teeth—over the years. Gross was in 2011 convicted of espionage and sentenced to 15 years for bringing telecommunications gear into Cuba while working for USAID as a subcontractor.

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) said the agreement includes normalizing banking and trade ties with Cuba.

There's speculation that the Florida senator is considering a run for the White House.

Stacey Dash: Kanye West And Kim Kardashian Are Lucky They Aren't Raped In Prison!

Washed up celebrity attacks Kimye.

Somehow the washed up celebrity Stacey Dash comes to Loserville as their "expert" on pop culture.

Did you know she was in the news some years ago as that one celebrity who managed to win a lot of praise for standing up for that perennial loser Mitt Romney?

Don't you know, Dash endorsed him in 2012 and practically sunk her career even further. For her "bold" acts, the conservative network honcho Chief Roger promoted her to be an analysis of the news.

One thing is clear, she's no longer cool with her cousin's former partner Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce.

She is the first cousin of Damon Dash, the former CEO and president of Roc-A-Fella Records. The company dissolved into Island Def Jam in 2005 after Jay-Z sold his stock to Universal Music Group.

Jay-Z would later launch Roc Nation which signed Willow Smith, J. Cole, Rihanna, and Rita Ortiz to the management and label. DJ Mustard a west coast producer who is become a popular figure in the hip-hop scene also joined the label in 2014. Jay-Z is one of the richest rappers in the world. And the most talked about on the racist right. They can't stand him and Bey.

Stacey Dash is a conservative agitator. She would endorse the racist right's attack on the hip-hop power couple.

She would call Jay and Bey, a bunch of "Commie" sympathizers for even daring to celebrate their fifth anniversary in Cuba. The United States still has some issues with the island nation because of then leader Fidel Castro's takeover in the 1950s.

She would also tell celebrity agitator and rap producer Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian to shut the fuck up about being stalked by paparazzi.
They are annoying as hell. But in real life they feel victimized by an ongoing agitating paparazzi.
The rapper and annoying as hell celebrity goes into another epic rant about how the media is "raping" him since he's bagged and fathered a child with Damon Thomas, Ray J's, Reggie Bush and Kris Humphries' ex-girl.

On this show called Outnumbered on Loserville, Stacey Dash let loose on Kanye's rant. She was a bit more strongly than the rest of the panel. “For Kanye to say ‘rape,’ maybe he needs to spend some time on Rikers Island, go to Rikers for a while, and then he’ll know what rape is.” She then defended the paparazzi as “just doing their job.”

Later in the discussion, Dash had some advice for West. “If you’re nice, if you’re polite to them, they leave you alone,” she said. “It’s when you start to call them names and act crazy and put your hands up and do all this drama that they make it a big deal.”

West was already a prime target for paparazzi before he married Kim Kardashian, but now it has inevitably reached a whole new level. But as Dash points out, that doesn't mean he knows what it feels like to be raped.

Okay, Dash here's a newsflash for you. You're old news. That's why the paparazzi doesn't bother you!

West and Kim Kardashian and her family are very popular. They are annoying as hell, but are human beings and private citizens. Though their public images are merit for celebrity agitation, West reserves the right to not have his child filmed by the paparazzi.

Rape isn't funny or a tasteless joke! It's a crime!  I understand you don't like celebrities who endorsed Barack Obama. You're entitled to be a hater! Again, if you're trying to compare a rapper's disgust towards the junk food media to being a prison rape victim, you're even more washed up than I've expected.

For you that's the only gig you got right now. You'll never have a role in Hollywood ever!

You're just "cue the phrase" CLUELESS!

Conservative Outrage Over Obama Handshake With Raul Castro!


The so-called patriots of America are pissed that President Barack Obama is shaking hands with Cuban leader Raul Castro. The junk food media knew it was going to be bait for the racist right.

They knew anything the president does, it will attract some form of controversy with these conservative assholes here stateside.

At the Nelson Mandela funeral, President Barack Obama accompanied by former presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter were showing solidarity for the world's greatest leader.

The presidents along with First Lady Michelle Obama, former first ladies Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton (former Secretary of State) were at the funeral.

It was a great funeral (and celebration).

Stateside, conservatives are outrage pimping over this.

Matt Drudge (aka That Guy Who Throws Shit On The Wall), Rush Limbaugh (aka King Hippo), Sean Hannity (aka That Guy Who Helped Obama Win) and other assholes are bitching about it. Certainly the racist right will have something to say about it (see below).

The handshake between Obama and the brother who took over the duties of longtime Cuban dictator Fidel Castro was seen by millions around the world on live television and was confirmed by a senior US official to AFP.
U.S. presidents Obama (current), Bush, Clinton and Carter attend the memorial service for Nelson Mandela.
The Cuban government hailed it as a hopeful sign, writing on its website: "May this... be the beginning of the end of the US aggressions?"

But it remained unclear whether it would presage a meaningful thaw in relations across the shark-infested waters off Cuba.

It comes as Obama seeks to live up to his campaign promise made in 2007 to reach out directly to US enemies as president -- and after he spoke by phone to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in September.

Obama is likely to face some domestic backlash from his gesture, as Cuba is a fiercely divisive issue in US politics.

Vehemently anti-Castro Cuban-Americans make up a sizable portion of voters and political donors in Florida, a battleground state where US presidential elections can be won or lost.

Obama's clear jab at states like Cuba, which claim kinship with Mandela but do not follow the example of a man who forgave his enemies and built a pluralistic state, may have been intended to insulate him from some domestic criticism.

"There are too many leaders who claim solidarity with Madiba's struggle for freedom, but do not tolerate dissent from their own people," Obama said, stabbing his finger in the air in the rain-sodden stadium hosting the event.

As a presidential candidate, Obama was pilloried as naive and dangerous by rivals from both parties for suggesting that as president he would be willing to talk to foes without preconditions.

As he ran for reelection, Obama's success in tracking down and killing Osama bin Laden and a fearsome drone war largely insulated him from allegations of weakness in foreign and security policy.

But the interim nuclear deal between US and world powers reached last month and his decision to call off 11th-hour military strikes on Syria over the use of chemical weapons have revived opposition attacks over his foreign policy spine.

It was unclear whether Tuesday's gesture would significantly thaw relations. In 2000, then president Bill Clinton shook the hand of Fidel Castro at the UN General Assembly in New York.

There was no picture of the moment and the White House initially denied it had occurred.

Havana and Washington have not had diplomatic relations since 1961, two years after Fidel Castro came to power in the Cuban revolution.

Tensions have eased since Obama took office, with both countries reaching a series of agreements seen as confidence-building measures including cooperation on air and maritime rescue and migration issues.

In 2011 Obama eased restrictions on visas, remittances and travel.

The move was designed to expand religious and educational travel, allow any airport to offer charter flights to the country and restore cultural initiatives suspended by the previous Bush administration.

Talks are under way to resume a direct postal service between the two countries.

    From the story: "The United States maintains a five-decade-old embargo against the communist island nation, which Havana says has cost the economy $1.1 trillion."

    This is to prepare the ground for Cuba's demand of "reparations" from the US for damage to its economy, much the way that the third world is trying to pick the pockets of the west for damage due to climate change (see: Philippines representative crying a couple of weeks ago at UN climate talks).

    Question: Where and to whom do we present the bill for Polio vaccine, GPS and communications satellites, Penicillin, highly productive and more nutritious genetically modified rice strains, the internet, aviation, ....?

    It was not "Obama's abilities" that allowed bin Laden to be tracked down and killed. It was the capabilities of America's intelligence agencies and military. Osama bin Laden's location was known for over a year and the military went to Obama three times trying to get permission to take out bin Laden before he finally relented and gave permission. Even then all of his advisors including the VP Joe Biden advised against it. It was only when it was pointed out to Obama that if the info leaked that he knew the location of Osama and did nothing about it that it would have a "negative impact" on his reelection that 'he' pulled the Trigger.

    Obama and the democrats have never met a ruthless dictator that they didn't like, or want to emulate.

    Then, the scene faded from color to black and white as the camera swung 180 degrees, stopping on a medium shot of a short man with black hair wearing a perfectly tailored Kuppenheimer suit. A lit Chesterfield smoldered in his right hand as he addressed the camera in deep sonorous tones that belied his lack of height:

    "Submitted for your approval, an excursion into a bizarre alternate universe. Destination: a country that was once a shining beacon but is now presided over by a man whose arrogance and delusional personality are matched only by the slavish adulation of his blathering minions in the media, a nation formerly called the United States of America but with each passing day becomes more and more a part of The Twilight Zone."

These people can't be satisfied.

They are the reasons to why Republicans are looked upon as "bigots" and "idiots".

They can't even allow a moment of solidarity go through without bitching.

Don't the progressives and rational minded people get tired of this stuff?

I mean all this outrage pimping is going to hurt the Republicans. Even Stallmigo Ted Cruz (R-TX) was getting attacked by his "stans" over even sending his condolences to the Mandela family.

It's basically the reasons to why it's fair to say that conservatives are not to be taken seriously. They don't take issues seriously. The AMERICAN WHITE CONSERVATIVE MALE is more dangerous than Castro.

These are the people the world needs to worry about.

Also in attendance is American gospel singer Kirk Franklin. He was singing at the memorial of Mandela.
