Cuba on the Brink
Posted By: Hazymac, 3/22/2026 6:55:03 PM
In its last days, Cuba’s Communist regime is moving from the realm of tragedy into that of farce. Currently, left-wingers from around the world are gathering in Havana to show support for Cuba’s government. Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn is there, along with other die-hard Communists. In America, a Code Pink delegation has gotten the most attention. These are horrible people engaged in poverty tourism at great expense. Although I haven’t seen it get much attention, Ilhan Omar’s daughter also is reportedly in Havana. Let’s start with this Facebook post by M.A. Rothman: Text: Look at this image carefully.

As we wrote earlier, the United States Senate is debating and voting as part of a rare weekend session with the ultimate aim of hammering into law free and fair elections across the country with things like voter ID required at the polls, among other common sense items, in the SAVE America Act. As readers likely have seen over time, the Democrats seem to take women for granted for their votes, something that may prove incorrect in the upcoming midterms, after some of today's votes putting them on record.

Change Law That's Raising Utility Rates,
Says NY Gov. Hochul 11 replies
Facts are a harsh mistress. And nobody seems more incapable of grasping facts than Democrats in general, and New York's Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul in particular. In her latest embarrassing slip-up, the climate law she supported, and the Empire States ever-more-onerous taxes are driving all the wealthy people, the people who start and run businesses and provide jobs, out of the state. Now, because of the green policies, utility rates are climbing, meaning that a big chunk of the rest of the residents of New York are looking to the exits as well.
Now Governor Hochul wants to delay full implementation of the lunatic climate laws,
Remembering the Shutdowns
4 replies
The international covid shutdowns were among the worst public policy disasters (or crimes) of modern times, and yet there has been no accountability. In the Telegraph, Daniel Hannan sums up the effects of the shutdowns on Britain: “Six years on, the Covid lockdowns are still ruining our lives.”
Was there truly a legal argument about whether a Scotch egg counted as a meal? Were we actually offered guidance on the correct way to have sex (avoid kissing and, if possible, keep your mask on)? And that weird ritual whereby, when restaurants reopened, we would put our masks on to walk to our table and then remove them.
Sun Tzu was a Chinese general who lived around 544–496 BC. He is traditionally regarded as the author of The Art of War, frequently quoted for his good sense concerning the initiation and prosecution of war. In these testing times, it seemed appropriate to have a skim through what he had to say and pick out some of his maxims and consider who, if anyone, has been following them in recent weeks:
All warfare is based on deception.
Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away,
The Week In Pictures: Gayatollah Edition

As the “endless” conflict in Iran neared third weeks old, it continued to dominate the news and, to a large extent, the memes. Reports of a gay Ayatollah prompted a great deal of meme-merriment. Of course there was other news: the Democrats’ shutdown of DHS continued, freedom for Cuba glimmered on the horizon, Chuck Norris died. Allegedly. And, finally–Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Oh wait, one more thing–reportedly there was some kind of party in Hollywood last week, but I don’t know anything about it because no one watched it.
So, as they say, without further ado:
On X, someone pointed out that, in modern England, any drawings made by children in art class might be considered blasphemous or idolatrous by Muslims: (Snip) I replied as follows:
In a related note, a white American 6-year-old was punished for blasphemy against Black Lives Matter (by saying “any life” matters).
A six-year-old white girl was punished because she wrote “Black lives mater/any life [sic]” after a lesson about Martin Luther King in March, 2021—because blacks are treated as sacred by American culture, especially in public schools. The Pacific Legal Foundation wrote in 2024 (emphases added):
B.B. was introduced to the phrase “Black Lives Matter” in her first-grade class in California,

Anno Domini 2020 changed America, and not for the better. The canonization of Saint George Floyd of Fentanyl birthed the “Summer of Love” that badly damaged the blue cities that embraced it, and did worse damage to American’s respect for the rule of law. And the multitude of hoaxes foisted on Americans by our public health establishment over Covid did probably irreversible damage to American’s faith in those public health bureaucrats in particular and science in general.
To be sure, Americans still recognize the difference between actual scientists rigorously employing the Scientific Method as opposed to political hacks and power seekers employing angry, arrogant rhetoric, but few if any

IT’S FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 2026.
March Madness is finally here—a special time when the vast majority of Americans, who don’t agree on much these days, can come together for the singular purpose of hating Duke.
In case you hadn’t noticed, Donald Trump is having an incredible run. Neocon Don is off the leash and serving up peak-era Trump quotes like it’s 2016. He rattled off a hall-of-fame response in the Oval Office on Thursday after a Japanese reporter asked him why he didn’t give U.S. allies a heads-up before bombing Iran.
“We didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise,” Trump said while sitting next to the Japanese prime minister.
It's got to be weird to be Dolores Huerta right now.
The truth came out about the Jim Jones-like cult style of her partner and co-founder of the United Farmworkers Union, Cesar Chavez, who, according to the New York Times, was a molestor of young girls, and up until then had been hailed as a kind of civil rights god.
With Chavez now being swiftly cancelled -- in record time, no less (where is Tom Wolfe when we need him?) -- now all the public holidays, street names, parks, libraries, schools, scholarships, naval ships, and biographies, have got to be changed, too. And they have to be changed to something,

and Other High-Ranking Officials Killed

Yet another member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Ali Mohammad Naeini, was reportedly killed in an airstrike overnight. He's just the latest high-ranking Iranian official to be dispatched to the afterlife thanks to the U.S.-Israel airstrikes that have decimated Iran for the past three weeks. (X) Naeini was one of several Iranian leaders who were reportedly killed in the most recent airstrikes. Intelligence has played a vital role in this war, with information often leading to strikes so precise they target individual apartments in Iran. Shortly before his demise, Naeini insisted Iran was still building missiles and that the war would continue.
That last part may be true,
Iran's Most Powerful Weapon
20 replies
Three weeks into a military engagement in Iran, a war Republicans will not call a war, the American and Israeli militaries have all but wiped out Iran's capacity to make war. We have killed their leadership, the replacement leaders, and militia members on the ground. We have destroyed their missile launchers and the factories in which they made the missiles. But Iran still has one of the most powerful weapons in the world on its side, and it is ruthlessly deploying it – the American press corps.

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at airports could “brutalize” or “kill” Americans.
Host Dana Bash said, “We just heard from the white House about President Trump’s plan to deploy ICE agents to airports tomorrow.”
[snip]
The last thing that the American people need are for untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports all across the country, potentially to brutalize or in some instances, kill them. We’ve already seen how Ice conducts itself. These are untrained individuals when it comes to doing the current job that they have.
Tucker’s Obsession

When I was about 12 or 13, I had a friend who was fun to be with. When we were in my house or hers, we’d talk endlessly about our schoolmates, our teachers, her mother’s illness, and boys, boys, boys. But whenever we went outside, she would start counting.
“What are you doing?” I would ask.
“Counting my steps,” she responded.
“Why?”
She stopped walking to answer me, so she wouldn’t lose count.
“I just have to count them,” she said. “I can’t stop counting them.”
At that age, I had never even heard the word obsession,
This is one heck of an explosive viral story.
It starts with claims about low-IQ Africans and just takes off from there.
It all started when an Africa-based research team decided to challenge and prove wrong a very long-standing claim in Western circles about low IQ levels in African countries. Instead of continuing to argue about it, they decided to put these claims to the test. They conducted a large-scale IQ assessment in Lagos, Nigeria, with a mixed bag of participants over the age of 16.The results were not what they wanted and are what’s going viral.
As it turns out, those “Western circles” were right all along.
David Spade is calling out California’s leadership for the collapse of Hollywood. During a recent episode of his podcast, “Fly on the Wall,” which he co-hosts with Dana Carvey, the 61-year-old actor and comedian said “the Hollywood industry is dying” and that he’s “just trying to put the blame somewhere.”
President Nayib Bukele has transformed El Salvador from one of the most dangerous places in the world—a tropical hellhole with a murder rate fit for a Middle Eastern warzone—to one of the safest countries in the Americas. He did it by applying one basic principle: lock up the most violent people in society, then throw away the key.
Bukele was aided by the fact that most crime in his country was committed by members of ultra-violent gangs like MS-13 and Barrio 18, who conveniently advertise their allegiance and their crimes with lurid tattoos all over their bodies.

More than 20 nations spanning from Asia to Europe to the Gulf have expressed a “readiness to contribute” to the effort of opening up the Strait of Hormuz amid threats to ships by the Islamist regime in Iran.In a joint statement released on Saturday morning, the nations of Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Republic of Korea, Romania, Slovenia, Sweden, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom condemned in the “strongest terms” the recent attacks by Iran against unarmed, civilian shipping vessels,
On February 16, 2026, I filed two well-documented federal complaints against Congressman Eric Swalwell, one with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS/ICE), and another with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Together, these filings raise serious questions about whether Swalwell engaged in illegal patterns of conduct that reflect his disregard for federal law and a potential abuse of campaign funds for personal benefit.
At issue are two distinct but closely related allegations: first, that Swalwell continued employing a foreign national nanny illegally for two years after her legal work authorization expired; and second, that he illegally used campaign funds to cover what appear to be ongoing personal childcare expenses
How many more times will this have to happen before Democrats stop defending and sheltering criminals?
In the latest outrage, one Sheridan Gorman, a 19-year-old student from New York who was attending Chicago's Loyola University, was shot to death near the Loyola campus last Thursday, and now an illegal alien from Venezuela has been arrested for her senseless, unprovoked murder.
A Venezuelan migrant was arrested in connection with the execution-style murder of a New York teen on a night stroll with friends near Loyola University Chicago’s campus on Thursday, according to reports.

More than half of the NYPD’s Joint Terrorism Task Force cops can retire right now, along with thousands of sergeants, lieutenants and captains, worrying officials about the future of terror and crime fighting in Gotham, The Post has learned.
Forty-five of 82 JTTF detectives – or 55% – have 20 years under their belts, which is enough time on the job to leave with a full pension, according to union data.
There are 2,161 active detectives in the NYPD and 1,232 of them — or 57% — are in the same boat, eligible for a full pension after 20 years.
Democrats have refused to fund the Dept of Homeland Security which means the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials are working at reduced capacity. This is slowing down security times at airports and creating massive delays for U.S. air travelers. The problem has been worsening day-by-day for well over a week.
President Trump announced today that if Democrats don’t fund DHS/TSA, he will move Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers into TSA positions with the benefit of creating an illegal alien catch net.

Connecticut Democrats recently rushed through an emergency anti-fraud law requiring bottle redemption centers to collect a copy of a person’s driver’s license when they cash in more than 1,000 cans or bottles in a day — a document demand that Republicans say undercuts the party’s attacks on voter-ID rules.
Earlier this month, an emergency certification bill, SB 299, was introduced by top Democratic leaders in the state’s legislature. It was later passed in both chambers in late February and was signed by Gov. Ned Lamont, a Democrat, on March 3.
It requires people wishing to recycle cans for money to present a copy of their driver’s license, put in place because
