Donald Trump's support among Republican voters has significantly eroded as three powerful women score gains in American courts.

Trump must be having recurring nightmares about three powerful women on a mission of enforcing the laws of the land and teaching #AgentOrange R-E-S-P-E-C-T while also performing their jobs to the best of their ability.

Letitia isn’t the only one the former guy needs to be worried about. There are at least two others. Fani and Liz may take him down could possibly land the three strikes that take him out.

The following paragraphs gleaned from recent articles offer what’s happening in Florida with similar bills passed in other states.

Personally, I think we’ve devolved into an “anti-intellectual” period of thought similar to the one when Savonarola (Florence, 1452-1498) organized his bonfires of the vanities:

As a proud Cuban-American, I ask why our dances are the most popular, lively, and passionate forms of movement in the entire world.

These dances are characterized by delicate and sensual movements and provide both the practitioners and spectators with an unforgettable experience.

Cuban dance is as unique as the music that accompanies it. Cuban culture is highly diverse and one of the most interesting ways to begin to understand Cuban people is by exploring, watching, and trying the various dance forms which are popular here.

My late and great ‘Mi Mama, Margarita” made it her favorite snack. I would like to share it with all of you and say try it, you’ll like it.

During The roaring 1920s, a Cuban socialite named Elena Ruz Valdés-Fauli asked a chef to prepare a sandwich for her with turkey, strawberry preserves, and cream cheese tucked inside in a sweet Media Noche roll at a Habana restaurant named El Carmelo. This was my late mom’s favorite and It’s best enjoyed with plantain chips and a Cuban Materva, an Ironbeer, or a Margarita.

Saving Private Rey

I am proud to say that Latino friends have served in the US Army, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, as well as in the Navy. One of them served as a seaman, was supposed to go to Class A school to become a hospital corpsman, then got accepted to NAPS. After graduating from Bainbridge attended The Naval Academy. He resigned his commission prior to the third year to study theology and then went to law school. He served in the Navy from 1972-1978. They are all Royalty to me.
