Cori Bush's Comeback Tour Features Maoist Who Says the Quiet Part Out Loud

Politics is often described as the art of strange alliances, but former Rep. Cori Bush has apparently decided subtlety is overrated. Her campaign trail now includes a self described Maoist anti-Semite scumwafer who openly defends Hamas and Hezbollah, cheers the desecration of the American flag, talks about "unmaking" America, and casually wonders, "What's wrong with throwing molotovs at a police station?" 

Apparently the only thing missing from the résumé was "villain in an 80s action movie."

Bush, who is trying to reclaim Missouri's 1st Congressional District after voters showed her the exit, recently appeared at a campaign event standing beside Christopher Winston, better known online as "BlackRedGuard." Winston has spent years posting revolutionary rhetoric that makes the average college radical sound like Fred Rogers.

Among his greatest hits, Winston mocked leftists who distance themselves from terrorist groups, all while not actually participating in terrorist activities himself because he's a coward.

"If you say sh-- like 'I don't support Hezbollah/Hamas' and call yourself a leftist you lame. All power to all the resistance. Peace through the sword."

That is certainly one way to test the limits of the phrase "mostly peaceful."

Winston has also declared, "Do not fix America. Unmake it." Because rebuilding a nation from scratch has worked out so well every other time Maoists have tried it.

Not content with merely rooting against America, Winston also celebrated attacks on one of its most recognizable symbols.

"I applaud the burning of the American flag. That flag is a symbol of the slavery and genocide which built America. It should always be desecrated in that way." Obviously he's a fool who refuses to acknowledge how slavery was abolished in America, while much of it still goes on in the Middle East while he refuses to discuss that tidbit.

Perhaps the most unintentionally hilarious moment came during a 2024 interview when the dangerous dolt was asked why a committed Maoist would bother hanging around the Democratic Socialists of America.

His answer skipped the usual talking points about organizing and solidarity.

"Well, it's obvious why I'm a Maoist in the DSA. There's a lot of naive young white people to brainwash."

It is rare to hear someone describe the progressive recruitment strategy with such refreshing honesty.

When the discussion turned to political violence, Winston asked:

"What's wrong with throwing molotovs at a police station?" As long as someone else does the molotov chucking.

A cohost nervously suggested that might destroy the organization. Winston's response was even more revealing. 

"That's why we want the masses to do it."

Most political campaigns ask volunteers to knock on doors. This one apparently prefers firebombing tutorials.

Cori Bush's campaign had an opportunity to explain Winston's role, whether he was invited, or whether she even knows him. Instead, it responded by sending reporters a Fox News story about Joy Behar defending democratic socialism, apparently hoping everyone would become distracted before asking follow up questions.

Winston's admiration for Bush has hardly been a secret.

"Yeah, I'm a Maoist ultra with dreams of riding into power on a tank like Fidel and Che but in the meantime Cori Bush is the best congressperson right now and we need to back her."

It takes genuine talent to make "I'll settle for Cori Bush until the communist revolution arrives" sound like a campaign endorsement. He might as well have said, "You can hold your nose and pull the lever as long as you vote for Bush."

Bush's orbit has also included anti Israel activists, defund the police advocates, and organizations linked to some of the most radical elements of the American left. At this point, finding another extremist attached to the campaign is about as surprising as finding a pink-hair vegan at a Whole Foods.

The truly absurd part is that none of this appears to be a deal breaker for the activist class. 

Imagine the media reaction if a Republican candidate posed beside someone praising political violence or openly admitting he wanted to brainwash young people. Every cable network would interrupt programming with a weeklong democracy emergency.

Instead, Bush campaigns beside a Maoist who defends terrorist groups, applauds flag burning, jokes about Molotov cocktails, and literally says he joined the DSA because there are "a lot of naive young white people to brainwash."

The remarkable part is not that he said it. The remarkable part is that everyone around him seems to have nodded politely and kept handing out campaign signs like useful idiots

Cuba is on deck and Trump's got the ball and into the wind-up

President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have made no secret of the fact that Cuba is next. We already removed Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is gone, along with most of his rotten regime. Now the focus shifts to the last stubborn communist holdout in the hemisphere.

Even the aging dinosaurs still clinging to power on that island, long after Fidel shuffled off this mortal coil, are starting to rattle their sabers. Cuba's president felt the need to puff out his chest and declare he's "not afraid" of the United States. He has to say that, of course. It's the party line. But anyone who's visited Cuba knows the place feels like a time capsule frozen in the 1950s, and most ordinary Cubans understand the truth: they would be overwhelmed quickly if it came down to it.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Pentagon had a contingency plan called Operation Ortsac—Castro spelled backward—for a full-scale invasion if things escalated and the Soviet missiles needed to be ripped out by force. It's not officially back on the books, but according to USA Today, military planning is quietly heating up anyway:

"Military planning for a possible Pentagon-led operation in Cuba is quietly ramping up, in case President Donald Trump gives an order to intervene there, USA TODAY has learned."The report cites two sources familiar with the directives who spoke on condition of anonymity. These moves mark an escalation of tensions that kicked off in January when the Trump administration curbed oil shipments to Cuba as part of a deliberate campaign to force sweeping political changes on the communist-run island.

The piece adds that the U.S. and Cuba have acknowledged they're in the early stages of trying to find some off-ramp from the crisis, though it's anyone's guess how much real compromise either side is willing to offer. Back in March, USA Today itself reported the two countries were in discussions that could have led to a "historic economic deal" to thaw relations.

Translation: the old guard in Havana can bluster all they want about dying for the revolution and giving their lives for the cause. Brave words from men who’ve spent decades presiding over poverty, blackouts, and repression while the Cuban people suffer. But after watching Maduro get yanked and Khamenei’s regime crumble, the message from Washington is crystal clear. The era of tolerating these backward communist fossils on America's doorstep is rapidly coming to an end—and the clock is ticking.

Anti-Government riot in Cuba over blackouts

Anti-government protesters stormed a Communist Party office in northern Cuba early Saturday, according to a state-run newspaper, marking a rare flash of open defiance fueled by brutal blackouts made even worse by the U.S. oil blockade.

What started as a peaceful rally against power outages and food shortages in the city of Moron [seriously] late Friday spiraled into violence by early Saturday morning, the Invasor newspaper reported. Social media videos captured a massive fire raging and crowds hurling rocks through building windows while chants of “liberty” echoed in the background.

Reuters could not independently verify the videos, which posters claimed depicted the chaos in Moron, a coastal city roughly 250 miles (400 km) east of Havana, close to the tourist spot Cayo Coco.

The United States has really tightened the screws on Cuba this year, especially after nabbing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January. Maduro has long been Cuba's top foreign sugar daddy.

President Trump shut down Venezuelan oil deliveries to the island and warned any nation selling oil to Cuba could face tariffs, hammering an economy already choking on shortages of food, fuel, electricity, and medicine.

In recent weeks, Trump has repeatedly declared that Cuba is teetering on the edge of collapse or desperate for a deal with Washington. On Friday, the Cuban government announced it had kicked off talks with the U.S. to ease the crisis.

Violent public protests remain extremely rare in Cuba. The 2019 constitution supposedly guarantees the right to demonstrate, but a detailed law spelling out how that works is stuck in legislative purgatory, leaving street protesters in a legal gray zone.

"What initially began peacefully, and after an exchange with local authorities, turned into acts of vandalism against the headquarters of the Municipal Party Committee," Invasor reported. "A smaller group of people stoned the entrance of the building and started a fire in the street with furniture from the reception area," it added.

The Moron vandals hit several other state-run spots in the area too, including a pharmacy and a government market, per the report.

One unverified social media clip includes the sound of a gunshot, followed by the camera panning to someone on the ground. State media outlet Vanguardia de Cuba pushed back hard against online claims that police had shot the person.

"The image circulating shows the scene of the protest, but it’s important for the public to know the truth: no one was injured by gunfire," Vanguardia de Cuba posted on X. "Media manipulation seeks to sow fear and confusion among our people. Let's not fall for provocations," it added.

Police rounded up five people, and one drunken protester took a tumble and ended up getting treated for injuries at a local hospital.

Over the past week, small groups in Havana have been banging pots and pans in the streets to protest the endless blackouts.

On Monday, students staged a sit-in on the steps of the University of Havana after the regime canceled in-person classes, blaming the U.S. oil blockade. Fuel shortages have crippled public transportation, turning commutes for teachers and students into a nightmare. Moron also saw major unrest during the huge anti-government riots on July 11, 2021, the biggest challenge to the regime since Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution.

CNN's Acosta gets educated by VA's Attorney General about communism

Dear Diary: Why do I feel stupid sometimes?

The Compromised News Network's Jim Acosta is upset that Virginia elected Republicans who refuse to infuse the state with socialist policies. So like a good socialist-loving fake news "reporter" Acosta had something to say and called Virginia a "soviet-style state," under Gov. Glenn Youngkin.

Leftists can't stand when they lose to the voters, which is why they prefer dead ones and illegal immigrants who they believe will vote for them.

“I seem to remember Glenn Youngkin campaigning in a fleece vest in Virginia,” Acosta said on Tuesday night. “He was running as a different kind of Republican. I was told there was going to be a vest, not a Soviet-style police state across the Potomac from Washington.”

Acosta also accused Youngkin of “pitting citizen against citizen” after playing a clip of the governor promising to remove “inherently divisive teaching practices out of the schools.” 

In other words, Youngkin refused to allow teachers to promulgate Marxist-based critical race theory ideology in the classrooms because parents are against it, and it's racist because it's designed to make white children feel inferior and guilty about their skin color. It also vilifies America and while we aren't perfect, teaching both the good and bad is the way to go.

Acosta was pissed off by the removal of CRT curriculum from the taxpayer-funded schools even though that was one of the promises that got Youngkin elected by the people. In fact, it was a chief promise he made along with his Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears. But the fake news socialist said that it violates “the traditional conservative tenets of liberty, anti-censorship and freedom.” CRT, however, censors patriotism, for example, and other forms of free speech.

When a leftist makes a claim about something they are against, you can bet that they are the ones doing what they are attacking. The term is 'cancel culture.' Example: treating Black folks like they're not capable of getting ID in order to vote is racist, but they claim that voter ID itself is racist. Some call it the soft bigotry of low expectations, but it's really not soft at all. You can also see it in the classroom where grades are dismissed because grades are racist, math is racist, and words can be racist.

The same is true with their push for equity. The Left believes that all outcomes should be equal, which tends to eliminate individual excellence and promotes mediocrity. Equal opportunity makes sense, as outcomes are based on ability and effort made by the individual. If everyone gets a trophy, then trophies are meaningless. If everyone knows they can get a trophy, the outcomes all improve.

Acosta, who never met a Republican he liked, also slammed Youngkin for putting a process in place for parents to complain if public school teachers violate the law by teaching racially divisive concepts that stem from CRT.  For example, claiming all members of one race [aka the White race] inherently oppress all members of other races.

Acosta, who calls himself a journalist, compared the measure to the Texas Heartbeat law, a pro-life protection that allows citizens to sue abortionists who perform an abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually around the sixth week of pregnancy. 

“How concerned should we be, about these laws that seem to be catching on of, citizens ratting each other out?” he asked Jong-Fast, adding they encourage “canceling your neighbor across the street or next door.”

Yeah, those laws seemed to have been catching on now that science progressed enough to show that it isn't fetal tissue abortion kills, it's a baby. And insofar as Acosta mention 'canceling your neighbor,' it's laughable to hear a leftist say that when this is their default position whenever they hear something they don't like.

Virginia state Attorney General Jason Miyares responded to Acosta’s remarks during a Fox News interview with host Sean Hannity on Wednesday night, saying, “I think what Jim Acosta said — listen, my family fled Communist Cuba.”

“You want to talk about what ‘Soviet-style’ looks like? It’s the opposite of freedom,” he said.

“So clearly, Jim Acosta maybe needs to take some history classes of what Soviet-style communism actually looks like. And [Virginia is] the opposite.”

“What we have said is parents matter. Listen, if you’re a parent and you want to mask your child for six, seven, eight hours a day, you absolutely have that right. That’s your individual decision,” Miyares continued. “The great irony of all this, is in Soviet-style communist states like Cuba, the state diminishes parents. They say, ‘Your loyalty is to the state,’ and parents have less control. This is about parental empowerment.”

But the Left really is aware of this and they used to be more covert about their desire to remove parents from their role; they prefer the government be the main source of influence.

"The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions." Karl Marx

Miyares told oh how his uncle had been arrested in the middle of the night by the Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro's secret police and that their home was “nationalized: in the name of fairness and equity.”

Equity--an excuse to do what they will.

Equity, while it sounds fair and looks good, is like a chocolate ice cream cone but the chocolate isn't chocolate and you do not want to eat it.

Dems want feds to block Latinos in Miami from hearing conservative radio

Well, the masks are off. Now that Republicans have increased a portion of the Hispanic vote in 2020, the Congressional Democrats are upset and scared and are trying to force the federal government to prevent Latinos from hearing anything other than leftist ideas.

Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CBC) want the Federal Communications Commission to block the sale of Miami Spanish language radio stations they think will move from left-wing programming to a more conservative slant, and that scares the crap out of them. One of these members include: Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), the chair of its political arm.

America CV, a Spanish-language media company, announced that it was buying Caracol 1260 AM this month. Soon after, it said it would change the station’s name to America Radio and replaced Raúl Martínez, a former Democratic mayor of Hialeah and liberal talk show host, Newsweek reported. Caracol is owned by America CV which owns America Te Vé.

"Hey Fat, wanna have a pushup contest?"

Martínez’s dismissal poured fresh fuel on the ongoing clash between Republicans and Democrats over Spanish-language programming in South Florida. Democrats have whined for years, especially during the last presidential election, that they are not represented in Hispanic media dominated by conservative and Republican voices. It would be a different story if the left controlled the mainstream media, but there's Fox News, another network they want to eliminate.

Spanish-language radio in Miami grew along the Cuban exile community, who tend to vote conservative since Fidel Castro became their dictator. Stations such as WQBA, La Cubanísima, La Poderosa and Radio Mambi reflected the exiles’ drive for a free Cuba.

However, as time went by, Miami's Spanish language radio was also influenced by other Hispanic groups such as Colombians and Venezuelans, and thus became more liberal.

Marcell Felipe, cofounder of the company, told conservative outlet The Daily Wire, “America Teve is being accused of being conservative because it is anti-Castro [which is mostly true, because of the love Democrats have for dictators like Fidel and Che].

"We will not apologize for promoting democracy and opposing the Castro regime because we represent a community who are victims of that regime,” Felipe added.

Isn't it funny how the left fears the competition of ideas?

Biden gets endorsed by Revolutionary Communist Party

Who else but Joe Biden would get the endorsement of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA if Bernie Sanders isn't running? Joe was a shoo-in for their confidence, and why not--he admits that he's a revolutionary even though he isn't a visionary.

Comrade Bobby Avakian made the Biden endorsement in an email to his supporters: AOC, Bernie S., K. Bass, K. Harris, Rashida T., Ilahan O., Nancy P., and a few others who support the thrill of Communism.

The email simply said: “Biden is not ‘better’ than Trump, in any meaningful way — except that he is not Trump and is not part of the move to consolidate and enforce fascist rule, with everything that means,” The Washington Times reported.

Now that's an endorsement if I ever heard one. "He doesn't suck very much, and he certainly doesn't suck as much as "Bad Orange Man."

But Bobby wasn't done: “To approach this election from the standpoint of which candidate is ‘better’ means failing to understand the truly profound stakes and potential consequences of what is involved. The fact is that there can be one — and only one — ‘good’ that can come out of this election: delivering a decisive defeat to Trump and the whole fascist regime.”

So that it can be replaced with an actual fascist regime that has killed at least 100 million people and counting.

The endorsement from the Revolutionary Communist Party is not the first far-left fringe endorsement that Biden has received. He was also endorsed by the Democratic Party along with other groups as far left and out there as his Party.

In any case, the Trump campaign responded to this resounding endorsement in a statement

The Trump campaign responded to the the Revolutionary Communist Party’s endorsement of Biden by saying in a statement:

Biden deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield just this morning made clear that “everybody who believes that Joe Biden should be president” is “welcome into this campaign.” That now includes Bob Avakian, the radical founder and leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party who just endorsed Joe Biden and instructed fellow communists to support Biden in the election. Avakian once faced serious charges of rioting and assault for protesting in favor of Chinese communist Mao Zedong’s bloody and brutal regime. Avakian also titled his memoir My Journey from Mainstream America To Revolutionary Communist. “Bob Avakian has taken the whole idea and conception of communism to another level,” one of his admirers once wrote.

Avakian’s endorsement further demonstrates that Joe Biden is an empty vessel for the radical left. Indeed, Biden is seriously considering communist Rep. Karen Bass to be his running mate. Bass praised Fidel Castro, traveled to Cuba many times as part of a radical communist revolutionary group that trained in terrorist tactics, and eulogized a Communist Party USA member as her “mentor” in 2017. This is who Biden may put a heartbeat away from the presidency. 

Joe Biden is too weak to be president and too weak to stand up to the radical left. He’s nothing more than an empty vessel for the extremist fringe of the Democrat Party, a terrifying cabal which now includes active communist leaders.

Other Communist scumcrumpets, such as Angela Davis, told Russian Television,[a propaganda media outlet not originally owned by Al Gore] that Biden would be easy to pressure into caving to the demands of the Far Left than President Trump would.

“I don’t see this election as being about choosing a candidate who will be able to lead us in the right direction,” the commie weasel told RT. “It will be about choosing a candidate who can be most effectively pressured into allowing more space for the evolving anti-racist movement.”

“Biden is very problematic in many ways, he is not only in terms of his past and the role that he played in pushing toward mass incarceration, but he’s indicated that he is opposed to disbanding the police and this is definitely what we need,” Davis continued. “We need to re-conceptualize the very notion of public safety, but, I say ‘but,’ Biden is far more likely to take mass demands seriously, far more likely than the current occupant of the White House.” Mainly because Biden is a schmuck with no ideology or ideas that he hasn't stolen from someone with a functioning cortex.

Davis concluded, “So, that this coming November, the election will ask us not so much to vote for the best candidate but to vote for or against ourselves. And to vote for ourselves, I think, means that we will have to campaign for and vote for Biden.”

A quick note on Davis:

In 1970, firearms registered to her were used in an armed takeover of a Marin County, California courtroom in which four people were killed. She was prosecuted for three capital felonies, including conspiracy to commit murder, and was incarcerated for over a year and later acquitted in 1972.

In the 1970s. she visited Eastern Bloc countries and in the 1980s was twice the Communist Party's Vice Presidential candidate while a professor of the useless course known as ethnic studies at San Francisco State University.

Davis is retired but remains active in the Occupy movement and the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divest and Sanction campaign to destroy Israel economically, then physically.

In 1997 she co-founded Critical Resistance, an organization dedicated to abolishing prisons and free convicts.

Why isn't she in prison?

Congrats Joe! While you have the Commies supporting you, Trump only has most of America's police organizations.

If AOC and Bernie had a baby, Karen Bass is how radical it would be

Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) seems like a nice lady and maybe even comes off as kind of a centrist. She is anything but a centrist and is further left than AOC and Karl Marx. She has also said some weird stuff about Scientology, which she is trying to undo too.

The Biden campaign, which is probably being run by someone other than Joe Biden, is worried that Bass' love for the Communist dictator could turn away the Cuban-American voters in Florida because of how they suffered under Castro.

Bass has visited Cuba no less than eight times in the past and tries to chalk it up to her misguided youth, but when Fidel Castro died in 2016, Bass remembered him as "commandante en jefe" a phrase used to praise the murderous dictator. She also claimed that Castro was "a great loss to the Cuban people."

Yeah, like when you had that huge boil on your butt lanced--that was also a great loss.

She tried to explain recently that she thought it simply meant "commander in chief." She added, "If I had to make that statement over again, I wouldn't use those words."

Bass dismissed the Party's concerns and spoke to the Atlantic, telling them that Floridian voters won't care about her ties to Cuba as the coronavirus is their biggest concerns right now. Apparently, she doesn't give them much credit for being able to hold more than one thought in their head at a time. "The idea that this issue is the foremost issue on their minds of people in Florida, when people are dying, where there aren't [enough] ICU beds. It's hard for me to believe that that is what's going to be on people's minds in the next hundred days," she said.

In the 1970s, Bass spent time working on construction in Cuba as a member of the Venceremos Brigade, a youth organization founded by the murderous Castro regime and the radical Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) which organizes trips for leftist Americans to Cuba to foster "solidarity with the Cuban Revolution by working side-by-side with Cuban workers and challenging U.S. policies towards Cuba," according to the group's official Communist website. They have been doing this for about fifty years.

And while Biden may not know where he is at when he isn't in his basement, his campaign is well aware of Bass' history with the Brigade and the SDS, the leftist antiwar group that eventually led to the Weather Underground terrorist group.

Now she is trying to pretend her leftist leanings have changed so Biden will choose her for the VP slot.

"I was a young radical," Bass told the Sacramento Bee. "Those young people that are out saying ‘defund the police'? That was me."

And it still is Bass.

A video recently emerged that showed Bass speaking at the Church of Scientology opening in 2010. Normal people consider this organization a cult.

“The Church of Scientology I know has made a difference, because your creed is a universal creed and one that speaks to all people everywhere,” Bass said in the video obtained by the Daily Caller, and shown below for your viewing pleasure.

“The words are exciting of your founder, L. Ron Hubbard, in The Creed of the Church of Scientology: that all people of whatever race, color or creed, are created with equal rights,” she said.

Bass quickly released a statement saying that she attends at a Baptist church, and that at the event she “found an area of agreement in their beliefs -- where all people, of whatever race, color, or creed are created with equal rights, which is what my remarks were about.”

“Since then, published first-hand accounts in books, interviews and documentaries have exposed this group. Everyone is now aware of the allegations against Scientology,” she said. “Back in 2010, I attended the event knowing I was going to address a group of people with beliefs very different than my own, and spoke briefly about things I think most of us agree with, and on those things -- respect for different views, equality, and fighting oppression -- my views have not changed.”

Bass' ideology really hasn't changed, but how she expresses it, now that Biden may tap her on her left shoulder, has changed. 

And when Biden says that if elected he would be the most progressive president ever, believe him, because he will have his socialist puppet masters pulling his strings.

Bernie defends Castro, likely gives Florida to Trump

Everyone on the left likes comrade Bernie Sanders, the Independent Senator from Vermont via Brooklyn, NY. The reason for their love affair for the Democratic presidential frontrunner many say is because he is genuine. Yes, he is, but he's a genuine communist and he makes no bones about it.

On CBS News' "60 Minutes" on Sunday, the old, useless commie defended the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro by saying that "it's unfair to simply say everything is bad," in terms of what he did to his people in terms of social welfare programs he introduced to those Cubans he didn't have killed.

In fact, comrade Sanders has never met a communist regime he didn't like.

"We're very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but you know, it's unfair to simply say everything is bad. You know? When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?" Sanders told Anderson Cooper.

But even this was a lie. There was already a 70 to 80 percent literacy rate in Cuba before Castro came in and forced communism on its people.

In a resurfaced speech given at the University of Vermont in 1986, Sanders praised the socialist policies implemented in Cuba by the Castro regime and criticized bipartisan efforts in the U.S. to tamp down on Castro's spread of communism.

While Sanders said in the new interview he "condemns" any human rights violations Castro committed, he also took aim at President Trump for his unlikely friendships with some dictators or strongman leaders, including North Korea's Kim Jong Un and Russia's Vladimir Putin. 

Except that Trump wasn't praising these idiots for their politics, he was praising them for his ability to "get along" with them, and the fact that he believes they like him personally. Of course, Sanders was trying to use Trump as a distraction from his own political beliefs he held his entire adulthood.

"I do not think that Kim Jong Un is a good friend," Sanders said. "I don't trade love letters with a murdering dictator. Vladimir Putin, not a great friend of mine."

But he does believe in his heart that Putin  "doesn't call . . . he doesn't write."

Sanders went on to define his brand of democratic socialism, which has tapped into a more progressive ideology that has been gaining traction with young voters across the country because they actually believe that stuff is free and Bernie is Santa.

"When Donald Trump was a private businessman in New York, he got $800 million in tax breaks and subsidies to build luxury housing. That's called corporate socialism. What democratic socialism is about is saying, 'Let's use the federal government to protect the interests of working families,'" he said, obviously not understanding tax law as he never employed anyone or held a real job outside of government.

Trump has used Sanders' policy initiatives, including "Medicare-for-all" and free college tuition and elimination of student loan debt, to take aim at the senator, even going so far as to properly label him a communist.

Based on the Cuban population in Florida who fled communism, and the retired Jewish population who love Israel, which Sanders has shown he doesn't, he has about as much chance doing well in the state as Cassem Soleimani had in walking away from that drone strike in one piece.

As it turns out, Bernie's pro-Castro remarks have come back to bite him on his old butt with Cuban Americans as he faced widespread backlash late Sunday after the CBS broadcast.

“You know? When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did?” Sanders said. “He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?”

"Came into office?" No Bernie, he was not elected--he shot his way into office and lots of Cubans died or escaped his brutal dictatorship.

The literacy program, by the way, was not so much to teach people how to read; it was to teach people to read Communist propaganda. Most already knew how to read, as stated above. In fact, the claim itself was propaganda.

Even the execrable Ana Navarro slammed the 78-year-old commie, tweeting:

Castro regime’s been in power in Cuba for +60 yrs w/o free elections. They’ve killed, jailed, tortured thousands. They confiscated assets, expelled priests & nuns… And let’s be clear, Cubans weren’t exactly communicating by grunts. Most knew how to read. pic.twitter.com/kKGM66a8ci

Navarro added:

I was in 2nd Grade when Sandinistas came to power in Nicaragua. They adopted Cuban education model. The books/curriculum taught ideological indoctrination. Children had to recite communist, revolutionary, anti-American slogans. That’s how communist teach people to read and write.

Likely Dem nominee praised the supposed “achievements” Castro regime
And he’s wrong about why people didn’t overthrow Castro. It’s not because “he educated their kids,gave them health care” it‘s because his opponents were jailed,murdered or exiled https://t.co/6i41w7zcDe

But on the bright side, Sanders received an endorsement from Marianne Williamson, a former candidate for the Democratic nomination who dropped out soon after the race began.

Statistician Josh Jordan responded to Sanders as well: 

“On the same day that Bernie Sanders welcomed an endorsement from anti-Vaxxer Marianne Williamson, he’s got a 60 Minutes interview where he praises Castro’s indoctrination… I mean ‘literacy program.’ I can’t wait to see how this plays with swing voters come November.

Democrat Rep. Donna Shalala (FL) tweeted:

I'm hoping that in the future, Senator Sanders will take time to speak to some of my constituents before he decides to sing the praises of a murderous tyrant like Fidel Castro. https://t.co/Iwvmay9LOH pic.twitter.com/KT9sQ0pfkh

But my favorite response came from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) whose father is from Cuba, Cruz tweeted:

It really makes a difference when those you murder at the firing squad can read & write. https://t.co/4DKbSKpI6t— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 24, 2020

Hopefully Floridians will finally see through the Sanders facade and the lie that he only wants Scandinavian-style socialism. The guy is a full-blown communist who was kicked off a commune as a young man because he refused to do the required work.

Julian Castro throws his hat into the ring for 2020

Former U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary and far-left Julián Castro formally announced his presidential campaign on Saturday at an event in Texas.

He stated, “You see, I learned from my mother so many years ago in this community that when we want change, we don’t wait for change. We work for it. When my grandmother got here almost 100 years ago, I am sure she never could have imagined that just two generations later, one of her grandsons would be serving as a member of the United States Congress and the other would be standing here with you today to say these words — I am a candidate for President of the United States of America.”

Those who approve of his 90 percent! tax recommendation said, "Whoo hoo," and other intelligent responses to the announcement. Seriously, he wants ninety percent of every dollar you make. That should get him the votes of people who don't work for a living.

Castro, 44, also served as the mayor of San Antonio, Texas from 2009 until he joined Obama’s cabinet in 2014. 

He was also famously considered a frontrunner to be former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s running mate in 2016, but she ultimately went with Senator Tim Kaine because Castro was even lefter than she was then.

Castro is the identical twin brother of Joaquín Castro, who currently represents Texas’s 20th congressional district, but sometimes pretends to be Julián. Based on both of their political ideologies, it is possible they are also related to Fidel Raul Castro, but without the blatant murdering of citizens.

Castro will fight for the Democratic nomination against a garbage scow of other Democrats, including Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard who announced her formal bid on Friday.

So far, the biggest name to throw her hat in the ring is Elizabeth "Echoes of Beer Thunder" Warren. She made the announcement slightly over a week ago that she had launched an exploratory committee.

Other leftists have also announced but I will not bother you with that nonsense.

It's a new year and the world still hasn't come to an end with President Trump in the White House, in spite of what the media and the left [but I repeat myself] would have you believe.

Jill Stein is still a fraud

In a last-ditch effort to maintain some sort of political relevance and maybe make a few bucks in the process, Green Party candidate and pain in the butt loser, Jill Stein, has escalated her push for a presidential recount. Hillary Clinton, sore loser to the Nth power is on the Stein bandwagon.

What's interesting is the states Stein chose to have the votes recounted: Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. All three went to Donald Trump by fairly close margins, but what about others that went to Clinton by fairly close margins as well? 

New Hampshire went to Hillary with only a margin of 0.4%. Clinton got 47.6% and Trump got 47.2% What is Stein's rationale for leaving that state out of the recount?

Then there's Minnesota. The margin there was only 1.5% with Clinton at 46.4% over Trump at 44.9%. 

I could go on, with other states like Nevada and Maine, at 2.4% and 2.7% respectively, but I won't bore you with the details.

The count is already underway in Wisconsin--about 4.8 million ballots have to be hand-counted. 

What a moronic ploy by an irrelevant leftist whose tweet about the death of dictator Fidel Castro was: "Fidel Castro was a symbol of the struggle for justice in the shadow of empire. Presente!"

"A symbol of the struggle for justice in the shadow  of empire" implies that the US are the bullies and poor Fidel a conquering hero. What an incredibly stupid thing to believe, much less to say.

But I digress as usual.

Stein celebrated her decision to be a pain in our collective butts by bragging in front of Trump Tower about her concerns over "blank votes," adding that "We will not give in to intimidation." 

Seriously, she's an idiot. If, as she says, "We are here to verify the accuracy of the vote," then why isn't she verifying the accuracy of to vote in other states where the former Worst Lady won by slim margins?

Possibly because they're both in on it, whatever 'it' is.

Now Kaepernick sucks 2 ways

Evidently, also his IQ

San Francisco 49ers quarterback and anti-American, Castro-loving Colin Kaepernick no longer just sucks off the field--he sucks on the field as well. He dragged his team down to a 26 to 6 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday completing one whole pass out of 5 tries, for a total of 4 (four!) yards. 

On the bright side, Kaepernick was sacked 5 (five!) times losing 25 yards with his total of minus 21 yards for the game. He was thankfully benched in the fourth quarter and hopefully forever.

His negative yards exemplifies his negative attitude towards liberty and the US. 

Not only does Colin Kaepernick suck off the gridiron, he sucks on it too.

The question now is will the 29-year-old communist dictator-loving Kaepernick get a new long-term contract this offseason or will he "move on dot org" his butt out of football?

Prior to this game, Kaepernick's average was about 275 yards and over 50 yards rushing per game along with time on his knees before the games began. This game might be a portentious look down the road.

Finally, this game was a major Kaepernick butt-kicking and a setback for the rapid running racist. Prior to the game, he told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that he is planning to waive the remainder of his contract to pursue a new one, whether it be with the 49ers or another team such as the Washington Native Americans.

I believe he should play for the Cuban Missiles.

Fidel's ashes stoned

Santiago de Cuba -- Fidel Castro's ashes have been entombed in a huge stone next to national heroes. Cuba has now entered a new era--hopefully a better one--now that he communist murdering dictator is finally dead.

His brother, President Raul Castro, placed his brother's urn inside the tall monolith near the mausoleums of 19th Century Jose Marti and Castro's commie comrades of the rebellion in Santiago de Cuba.

Raul flipped a military salute at the private ceremony attended by his family and some foreign dignitaries, including fellow communists from Venezuela and Nicaragua. 

Nobody laughed or even smiled. 

"There were no speeches. It was very simple. There were just the ashes that were interred, the family, the government and officials," French Environment Minister Segolene Royal said. She had been criticized by her own countrymen for defending Castro's human rights record (which in itself, is an oxymoron). 

The funeral lasted one, long agonizing hour and marked the end of the mandatory nine days of national mourning, encouraged by the government, flooded the streets, pulled out nose hairs to facilitate lacrimation 

Green Party's Jill Stein was unable to attend the funeral due to anti-American commitments.

Buena salida, Fidel!

"El Sexto" Maldonado, Cuban artist, badly beaten for mocking Castro

Dear Reader (and those who are having this read to them):

I hope you're reading this sitting down. What I'm about to reveal to you is not only shocking, it's practically unbelievable. If it doesn't send chills up your spine, you may be missing a spine.

Cuban graffiti artist Danilo "El Sexto" Maldonado, who was picked up by Cuban authorities on Saturday after mocking Fidel Castro's death, was not treated well at the Guanabacoa detention center by the guards. In fact, he was beaten badly, his family claimed.

Now I'm not saying that his girlfriend Alexandra Martinez, 24, was lying when she told the media that "Danilo's mom saw him . . . He was badly beaten upon entering Guanabacoa and suffered a severe asthma attack." But maybe El Sexto's mother was lying to Alexandra.

What we do know for sure is that authorities confiscated his personal cell phone. Maybe they didn't want him messing around playing Solitaire.

But why would they beat him? After all, this is the Castro dictatorship--even Colin Kaepernick thinks they're swell guys. I mean how wrong can an NFL losing quarterback be? And let's not forget, they improved education on the island even though poverty hit the roof.

We know that Maria Victoria Machado, Danilo's mom, was allowed to visit him at a Guanabacoa police station outside of Havana once he was detained Saturday morning. But for them to call an action by Cuban State Security a "kidnapping" is not very nice. 

They would never do such a thing with his mom there--they'd get in big trouble.

Here's what happened: After learning of Fidel's timely death Friday night, El Sexto went around Havana and drew a couple of harmless graffiti images with his signature and the words "Se fue" (He's gone) on a wall at Hotel Habana Libre, an iconic joint where Fidel took up temporary residence in 1959 after his triumphant entrance into the city with his band of gay marauding rebels and brother Raul.

The graffiti artist also posted a video on Facebook mocking Fidel's death and urged people to "come out to the streets . . . and ask for liberty."

What's so bad about that--Raul wouldn't torture him for something so innocent as asking for liberty? Would he? I believe Colin wouldn't think Raul would act in such a mean way to someone who wanted to express himself. 


It wasn't like he was wearing a tee shirt with Osama bin Laden on it.

Since getting a free ride by police, Danilo was transferred to no less than 3 police stations in Havana--probably trying to find one that best suited his needs.

Alexandra said he was being charged with damaging public property [worth over 43 pesos] but no official charges have been issued at this time.

Several human rights organizations are calling for his immediate release but Colin Kaepernick isn't worried about it. He knows the Castro regime had to break a few eggs to make an omelette.

Cry or die for Fidel

The entire island looks like it's in mourning over the loss of their supreme dictator Fidel Castro. People are crying their eyes out after pulling out nosehairs to get the tears to flow.

The moment President Raul Castro announced the death of his older brother last Friday night, everything was closed down: music ceased, discos and movie theaters emptied out and closed, bars and restaurants were told to severely restrict the sale of booze. Smiling was forbidden and the expression, "Good night" was put on hold.

Hundreds of thousands of Fidelophiles paid homage to the Communist murderer in Revolution Square. Sombre students stood in front of the University of Havana ("Go Sugarcane Pickers!") on Sunday, acting as a silent honor guard for Fidel, carrying banners with slogans such as: "Thanks for the Medical Care--Not So Much for the Killings" and guarding a temporary monument at Fidel's alma mater.

What was less noticeable was the trembling hands and beads of sweat upon the foreheads of the students who, if they refused to participate, would be imprisoned, tortured and eventually killed by Raul's army of revolutionaries.

Leftists love revolutions; they even love the word 'revolution'. Think of Bernie Sanders in his thick, Brooklyn accent tawking about how this country needs a revolushin.'

Cubans old enough to remember their island's Revolution and the early years of commie nation building may have actually felt grief for Fidel, but the 9-day state-imposed mourning period really sucks for those with less kinder memories of the thug and murderer the left so loves to love. (I can see the "Fidel n' Che" tee shirts jumping off the counters in Manhattan.)

"You need to be very careful about what you say," a Havana artist who asked to remain anonymous told FNL. "Any opinion that isn't in line with the national mourning can have consequences."

Sounds a lot like North Korea when Kim Jung-il died.

Fidel Castro still dead, leftists still suck

With America-loathing U.S. leftists mourning the death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro by burning American flags in memory of his hatred for us (because they are totally free to do so) and telling us what a great guy that murderous slimeball was, a Cuban graffiti artist is now in jail because, unlike the USA, he cannot freely express himself on the Communist island. 

Cuba, a country where the average weekly income is a whopping 584 pesos (or about $24.30 US) was run into the ground by the Fidel Castro, who accrued about $900 million as "Presidente para toda la vida." Many people were murdered by the Castro regime, many fled and died on the water, and some have lived to tell the story of Cuba.

Danilo Maldonado, the jailed artist, tells his story through his art. His story is one of communist opposition. And now, because he posted signs and drawings about the former scumcrumpet and his death, he has been arrested, according to his girlfriend Alexandra Martinez.

Martinez spoke to Maldonado from her home in Miami before he was taken from his home and incarcerated, she told FoxNews.com 

Danilo chanted "Abajo Fidel, abajo Raul" ("Down with Fidel, down with Raul").

Martinez told Danilo that she would tell his story. "I said 'I love you, I'm telling everyone'" she explained. Maldonado had been trying to get permission to visit Miami this week to participate in an art event. Obviously, he was denied, in spite of the reports that citizens can now leave the enchanted commie island and travel where countries will allow them to enter.

Maldonado, 33, also known as "El Sexto" on social media, spent 10 months in prison about a year ago after posting a photo of 2 pigs with "Fidel" written on one and "Raul" on the other.

Martinez said that Danilo's mother tried to visit him in jail known to hold political prisoners, but the Cuban government wouldn't allow the visit. It is noteworthy that Maldonado has not been charged as yet.

Martinez said that Danilo's mother, Maria Victoria Machado Gonzalez, told her that she witnessed security personnel beat and drag her son as they took him to the police station.

This is the government the left praises and makes the "you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette" excuse for the murder and brutality of the Castro government.

"El Sexto has become a prominent target of the Cuban regime because his graffiti art is one of the elite's most feared methods of protest as it exposes their true nature," Thor Halvorssen president of Human Rights Foundation said in a statement on the HFR's Facebook page.

"El Sexto's art unmasks the tyranny in ways white papers and press accounts cannot. Now that Castro will receive a pompous farewell, the regime will take measures to silence all voices for democracy and to drown out calls for reform," he added.

Amnesty International declared Maldonado a prisoner of conscience. Human Rights Foundation awarded him the Vaclav Havel Prize for Creative Dissent.

Obama awarded Fidel Castro with excuses.

And Justine Trudeau Canada's PM, is a Clinical Idiot and awarded Castro with love and praise.

Jill Stein is a moron

Jill Stein (I refuse to call her "Dr.") will do anything to gain notoriety. She just had to voice her [stupid] opinion on Saturday evening's conversation about the death of Fidel Castro. 

Stein, the Green Party presidential candidate, has imposed herself in the public eye as she raises money for election recounts in 3 states won by Donald Trump and lost miserably by her in all states. (If electoral votes measured intelligence, her IQ would be that of a box of rocks, having received zero electoral votes in her bid for office.)

Many are now wondering why she's asking for recounts and what it would change.

But now, on the death of Castro, the failed candidate went on Twitter with this gem: "Fidel Castro was a symbol of the struggle for justice in the shadow of empire. Presente!"

Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich tweeted back to her: "Hi @DrJillStein, who exactly is the person being oppressed in this photo?" [see the black and white of Castro shooting a bound prisoner.]

Pavlich later added: "And by the way @DrJillStein, you're free to move out of the United States, the "shadowing empire," and to Cuba at anytime."

Jonathan Chait tweeted: "Also, he never had an election close enough to re-count. Or any election, actually."

There were plenty of angry tweets and a few humorous ones. Yair Rosenberg: "Jill Stein deleted her tweet praising Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace laureate Elie Wiesel on his death. She hasn't deleted this" [he indicated the link to her (above) tweet].

But my favorite was from Michael C. Moynihan: "If you're a lefty who voted for Jill Stein, you got a two-fer: A Castro apologist and a drain on Clinton's vote total."

Then added: "While you're at it, you should ask for a recount of the last Cuban election. 100% for the incumbent seems a bit fishy."

Jill Stein is a moron . . . seriously.

Black Lives Matter salutes Fidel Castro

The Black Lives Matter movement came out in support of Fidel Castro shouting they must "come to the defense of El Comandante." They didn't allow a hundred thousand murders sway they way they want you to remember Castro, who finally died on Friday.

The BLM gang thanked Castro for allowing Assata Shakur, (aka JoAnne Chesimard) who was convicted of murder, escaped from prison in 1979 and fled to Cuba where El Comandante gave her political asylum.

 It was Castro's way of flipping off our country, which BLM sees as a good thing.

Chesimard was the first woman to be put on the FBI's Most Wanted List. In 1972, now going by the name Shakur, she became the subject of a nationwide manhunt after the FBI alleged that she was the "revolutionary mother hen" of a Black Liberation Army cell that had carried out a "series of cold-blooded murders of New York City police officers," that included the "execution style murders" of NYPD Officers Joseph Piagentini and Waverly Jones on May 21, 1971, and Gregory Foster and Rocco Laurie on January 28, 1972. 

Chesimard was alleged to be directly involved with the Foster and Laurie murders and indirectly involved with the Jones and Piagentini murders, to the delight of the BLM anarchists. 

BLM penned an article Sunday titled "Lessons from Fidel: Black Lives Matter and the Transition of El Comandante." There, on the Medium platform, an anonymous (aka cowardly) byline eulogized the passing of the Cuban scumcrumpet. It was also posted on their semi-literate Facebook page.

The article lied that Castro's death has caused "an overwhelming sense of loss, complicated by fear and anxiety." So far, it appears that more Cubans, especially those who have fled Castro's regime and came to America, are celebrating his death, perhaps not so much because he died, but because Cuba is at a new stage of its development.

The anonymous BLM article added "Although no leader is without their flaws, we must push back against the rhetoric of the right and come to the defense of El Comandante."

The leftist BLM author portrayed Castro as a model freedom fighter, who Black Lives Matter should strive to follow and emulate. "As Fidel ascends to the realm of the ancestors, we summon his guidance, strength, and power as we recommit ourselves to the struggle for universal freedom. Fidel Vive!"

The anarchist author thanked Castro for hiding criminals and domestic terrorists such as Michael Finney, Ralph Goodwin and Charles Hill--who hijacked a plane from Albuquerque when being sought for the 1972 murder of NM State Trooper Robert Rosenbloom. In the 1990s Hill told the Washington Post that he had no regrets about killing Rosenbloom.

The BLM movement is also "particularly grateful" to Castro for harboring "Mama Assata Shakur, who continues to inspire us." Butt-rocket Castro granted her asylum in 1984.

It's obvious that BLM is a hate group admired by Barack Obama and the leftists we regrettably elected. Hopefully, with the new administration, their violence will be stopped, their leaders will receive justice, and race relationships will improve.

But I wouldn't bet on it.
