POTUS appeared with Americans held overseas but did he conveniently forget to mention Otto?

President Donald Trump offered a pre-recorded video message during the RNC joined by Americans held abroad and  detained by foreign governments released during his time in office.

Michael White, freed by Iran in June, and Pastor Andrew Brunson, who was arrested in Turkey and released in 2018 and four others. Trump has repeatedly touted his efforts to get Americans held overseas freed.

The Kamikaze President?

Submitted by ub on

Is Donald Trump beginning an angry month with a crazy news conference and his tweet storm which reached another low with increased attacks on the press?

POTUS mental fitness becomes a conversation for conservatives, as an impeachment inquiry from liberal Democrats and challenges from political combatants are getting through to millions of swing voters who are sick and tired of Trump.
The crazier he gets, the more the pressure will rise on US Congress and the American public to do something serious about it.

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

I was born in the Republic of Cuba, a nation comprising the main island as well as Isla de la Juventud and several minor archipelagos. Cuba is located in the northern Caribbean where the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean meet up.

Years later I was recruited by George HW Bush to lead the electronic Bay of Pigs named TV Martí which has been ineffective.

The Mourning After

Welcome to the mourning after. Do you smell the Covfefe brewing on Capitol Hill? The US Department of Justice offers no timetable on the release of the Mueller report to Congress.

Can you imagine if the Starr Report had been provided only to President Bill Clinton's Attorney General, Janet Reno, who claimed she read it read it in two days and published a 4-page cliff notes concluding that President Clinton committed no crimes?

Real Truth Caravan

Submitted by ub on

POTUS War on Latinos and a Caravan is NOT the most pressing issue in this election. The Democrats do not support open borders and the reason why ICE gets a bad rap is about those kids who have still been detained hundreds of days after the court ordered them released. This is also a war on many woman and children.

Religious Freedoms

On this 20th anniversary of the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act expanding US foreign policy capabilities promoting and defending religious freedoms at home and all over the world, lets put our money. Where our mouths are.

IRFA builds on our founding fathers’ firm conviction that the freedom of individuals to believe as they see fit is a God-given right that is central to the success of a nation.

US Against The World

Submitted by ub on

Nearly 200 years ago, in 1823, President James Monroe's doctrine prevented imperial powers foreign to our Western Hemisphere from acquiring territories anywhere in The Americas or seeking undue influence. This was the cornerstone of #USA grand strategy.

American foreign influence once referred to how we behaved towards other nations. Now we're told there are countries turning the tables on us and global leaders like Russia and now China dares interfere in our internal affairs.

Connecting CUBA

Submitted by ub on

In the spirit of full disclosure, I should point out that I was born in Cuba. However, when I left my homeland there was no Internet.

Now more than 5 million cell phone users in Cuba have received free internet, in an eight-hour test before the government launched sales of the service.
