Cuba Libre!

 


Friends, the indictment of Raul Castro in the U.S. leads many to suspect that the Trump Administration wants to Venezuela-ize Cuba.  Well, that does sound nice!  How easy would it be to pull off?  And is Venezuela really the best paradigm to follow, when in many ways it's still a failed, Marxist state?  We may get answers soon to these exciting questions, so stay tuned...  I am, of course, totally in favor of any strategy which leads to freedom for the Cuban people.

Stephen Colbert's long reign of terror in late-night TV is finally coming to an end!  His fellow lefties are outraged, as per usual, but there will still be plenty of tediously condescending and unrelentingly "progressive" voices on television, so my advice to them, and to him, is: relax!!!  Colbert will presumably ride off into the sunset with his millions of dollars and dream up new and different ways to insult conservatives and patriots.

Finally, I have to second the sentiments of Victor Davis Hanson in this fine article.  By no means is conflict between the U.S and China inevitable, and, as he points out, it is far from obvious that China is eclipsing America in the types of power that really matter.  Most important, I think, is China's lack of experience as a hegemonic power, and its relative timidity in wielding what power it has.
