What's going on in Cuba?

I drove past some folks holding signs on the corner in Orlando yesterday and had to look it up to see what's happening. I had'nt heard of this. It does sound familiar however. Cuba is learning from Washington and the US media.

Just folks finally realizing they want freedom and socialism is garbage.

They dont mess around over there.
They will mow a few down in the streets like the Chinamen do and the rest of those troublemakers will get the picture and get in line real fast.
They wont put up with that burning and looting crap over there.

Socialism and power at any cost. Life is cheap in those countries.

" You can vote yourself in socialism , but you have to shoot your way out of it "

A whole lot of Cubans will be taking a 90 mile boat ride and find that the American socialists and communists, who stole the United States presidency, don't want them, because they are conservative.

Wrong kind of voters , therefore are barred entry. Doesn't fit the agenda.

They don’t vote right to matter to DC today, funny how we have a open border on just a certain end of the country they don’t even try to hide the hypocrites today.

I think the democrats are going to find in future fair elections, if we get them, that hard working Hispanics from all over the World don't care for socialism and communism, which is why we saw the huge jump in Hispanics voting for President Donald Trump in the stolen election.

We can only hope.

Whether or not the election was stolen from Trump will never be agreed upon but there's no doubt the prostitutes in the MSM are pimped by the left. It's hard to have a free and fair election when the truth is suppressed.

socialism...coming to your neighborhood soon.

I think that it has been well established that mainstream media is the fifth column.

I expect politicians to be corrupt liars... But the media being in on it is unforgivable. Been saying for a while that we are threatening to use force against the wrong mouthpieces.

The scumbag reporter who used the phrase "fiery but mostly peaceful protests" should have paid a severe price for that standard of "journalism."

The media has been lying at least since William Randolf Hurst wanted war with Spain to sell newspapers. Ever heard of Yellow Journalism? Been around a long time and now since at least the Tet offensive television got in on the act. There are a whole lot of people controlling the narative they want you to hear passing it off as the "news".

I cannot remember agreeing with an Okie more than I agree with your statement now.

A close friend just got home from Cuba about 3-weeks ago. He was stuck there for 5-months. Canadian Govt finally sent a plane over and brought him and another 173 Canucks home.

If they could only convince American legislators.

I hope you're right, Keith. It's the fair elections part that is of concern, though.

Funny how that works, they are all for it when the burning and looting is to further their agenda.

If you take in tens of thousands cuban refugees again keep them quarantined in FLA.
The regieme will ship all the covid positives and FLA is already infested.

Hispanic voters are the main reason the country has gone so far left. They almost always go 70/30 in favor of the Dems with the sole exception of Cubans who are around 50/50. Most Hispanic countries continually flirt with socialism/communism etc.

It shouldn't be a mystery why Cali,NM,AZ all went from Red to Blue, Texas is next and it is mainly due to Hispanics.

President Donald Trump got 48% of the Latino vote in Florida and Nevada, 43% in Texas and 37% in Arizona. In Nevada, President Trump got 3% more of the Latino vote than Biden.

Working, assimilated, Hispanics voted for President Trump in large numbers.

Welfare Hispanics supported Biden.

IF you take in Cuban refugees they would have to be properly vetted and that would have to include Covid testing.
I recall when Carter was president. He took in a lot of Cuban refugees without properly vetted them later to find out Castro had cleaned out some of his prisons by sending Cuban criminals to America.

Pretty sue opposite Donnie just makes it up as he goes! LOL

Biden got 66% of the Latino vote. Latino voters are a major factor in several Red states going Blue which helped get Liberal legislators elected who changed election rules and laws "due to Covid". Hoping that the Latino voter is going to save Conservatism is the most glass half full outlook I've ever heard.

Cubans are not Mexicans big difference Cubans fly the US flags often Mexicans often fly their flag apples and oranges. The shift to Western States come from the West coast and it not about Mexicans as much as Liberals fleeing their own mess.

Well I was responding to Keith who was talking about Hispanics as a whole so...

As far as Western states go, the change in politics coincides with Demographic change, that knowledge combined with known voting trends by demographics paints a pretty clear picture as to what is happening.

In California you have 37% of White voters self identifying as Liberal and 37% Self identifying as Conservative, if 65+% of Latinos then vote Liberal it is easy to see why California continues to fail in producing Conservative leaders.

Its not Hispanics buying up the West now is it?

And don't make that mistake in front of them either. I gather that there's some sort of pride or bad blood between the two. I recall some of my Cuban teachers referencing castilian vs mestizo.

I have to say I really like Cubans. Spent a week on the Island in 1998 and traveled around staying illegally in private residences. Got to see their ration cards and met some great folks. Cubans are a very friendly people. They get monthly allotments of staples from the government stores (including cigars). But a family was allowed such a small amount of food that the only way to make it was selling things on the black market to tourists. Since I speak Spanish I had some wonderful conversations with people about their feelings for Castro and the government. Mostly I would say the dominant thinking was they were proud of their revolution, but felt like Castro had overstayed his welcome. They never said the word "Castro" for fear a neighbor might hear them and get turned in. They would just make sign language for "man-with-beard". Many of them had nice little homes with TV's supplied by the government.... but no toothpaste or toilet paper (luxuries).

You could walk around Havana at midnight with zero fear of being robbed since armed robbery is a capital offense there. (As is rape).

And yep, there are a lot of nice old cars. But mostly there are newer Russian and Chinese made vehicles.
