Life In Communist Cuba Is Nothing Like What Most Americans Have Heard
There is some talk going around that President Trump is planning to roll back former President Obama’s policies towards Cuba. If so, he will hopefully insist on human rights, particularly for the political prisoners and dissidents like the Ladies in White and Yoani Sanchez.
I was ten when my parents put me on a plane bound for Miami. Before passengers left the airport in Havana, the Communists would strip each of all valuables. Children were not exempt. When they saw I had an American quarter, they pounced on it. Let me tell you, no one’s greedier than a Communist.
In 1959 when dictator Fulgencio Batista left the island, the country was happy. People thought life would improve. Instead, within a year, life began to get worse. Suddenly, food became scarce—in Cuba, of all places! And not just food, everything: shoes, toothpaste, books, deodorant, cars, gasoline, furniture, comic books, toys, nails, pencils, hammers. Store shelves were empty. People had to form long lines when a store got a shipment. To make things worse, there were always the stooges in line who would start pro-government chants, which everybody was expected to join.
The Soviet Union would send stuff over, like cans of food teeming with deadly botulism. People learned to avoid Soviet food unless they had a death wish. They also sent Soviet films, which were so bad, so plotless, so mind-numbing, that they would empty movie theaters. Even the mice would scurry away.
The Terrors Were Mental as Well as Physical
And there was the persecution, the paranoia. In every street block there was one official informer who would stick his nose into everyone’s business, especially having an ear out for any comments the regime might...
RUSH: Global Warming HOAX Is The ‘Singular, Most Direct Attack On The Natural State Of Free Human Beings’
RUSH: Those of you who are regular listeners to this program are fully aware of how crucially important this whole global warming/climate change thing is to me ’cause it’s a full-fledged hoax. It is the one issue that encapsulates and houses every dream that utopian leftists have. Climate change has it all. If they can get this fully enacted by worldwide treaty, if they can get the United States to sign onto this and actually abide by whatever the restrictions and agreements are, it’s the end of this country as you know it.
You couple that with if Obamacare hangs on and remains what it is, becomes single payer, the notion of freedom, the definition of freedom and liberty are gonna be forever changed. The idea that is the United States of America is going to be lost, because the notion of ...

Socialist Venezuela Collapses Into Starvation & Bloodshed – Media Ignores
Socialism kills. It always has. It always will.
Longer and longer food lines in Venezuela has led to the recent and bloody violence depicted below:
What has Sean Penn, Michael Moore, or the Mainstream Media said about the violent hardships now gripping the Venezuelan people? NOTHING. A recent Lifezette report put it this way:
Study finds ABC, CBS, NBC barely cover left-wing catastrophe, avoid word ‘socialism’
Out of approximately 50,000 total evening news stories on ABC, CBS and NBC combined in the last four years, just 25 have covered the ongoing crisis in socialist Venezuela, according to a Media Research Center study published Tuesday.
…“The network evening news programs seem allergic to reporting on the ongoing crisis in Venezuela,” Ciandella told LifeZette in an email. “Even worse, the few times they have managed to cover the widespread poverty, starvation and government oppression in that country, they somehow find ways to do that without mentioning the word ‘socialism.’”
Millions of people are suffering but America’s Mainstream Media doesn’t care because...
4 Reasons Trump Was Right to Pull Out of the Paris Agreement
The Paris Agreement, which committed the U.S. to drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions, was a truly bad deal—bad for American taxpayers, American energy companies, and every single American who depends on affordable, reliable energy.
It was also bad for the countries that remain in the agreement. Here are four reasons Trump was right to withdraw.
1. The Paris Agreement was costly and ineffective.
Americans need an alternative to the mainstream media. But this can't be done alone. Find out more >>
The Paris Agreement is highly costly and would do close to nil to address climate change.
If carried out, the energy regulations agreed to in Paris by the Obama administration would destroy hundreds of thousands of jobs, harm American manufacturing, and destroy $2.5 trillion in gross domestic product by the year 2035.
In withdrawing from the agreement, Trump removed a massive barrier to achieving the 3 percent economic growth rates America is accustomed to.
Simply rolling back the Paris regulations isn’t enough. The Paris Agreement would have extended long beyond the Trump administration, so remaining in the agreement would have kept the U.S. subject to its terms.
Those terms require countries to update their commitments every five years to make them more ambitious, starting in 2020. Staying in the agreement would have prevented the U.S. from backsliding or even maintain the Obama administration’s initial commitment of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 26 to 28 percent.
The Obama administration made clear in its commitment that these cuts were...
