The hypocrisy of the mainstream media continues to offend the intelligence of the American voter. For years the so-called “journalists” and political pundits of the mainstream media have been throwing in our face homosexual “marriage” and abortion “rights” as being normal. But now that Donald Trump has defended his ‘manhood’ the mainstream media is reacting with indignation. This is the height of hypocrisy!

Let’s examine this new breed of “conservatives” running for POTUS.
The following is an important excerpt from an article I published on December 10, 2013. It should be of great interest to my readers as they ponder the 2016 U.S. presidential election:

The New World Order that we live under—famously lauded by Republican U.S. President, George Herbert Walker Bush, has indeed grown deep roots in the minds of people all over the world. So much so, that religious leaders, politicians and monarchs who claim to care for the plight of the poor, have either issued statements (as in the Vatican’s statement issued by Francis) or have arrived in Johannesburg for Nelson Mandela’s memorial service, claiming to honor Mandela—a man who shamelessly admired Fidel Castro’s brutal Communist dictatorship, clearly stated as follows:
“From its earliest days, the Cuban Revolution has also been a source of inspiration to all freedom-loving people. We admire the sacrifices of the Cuban people in maintaining their independence and sovereignty in the face of the vicious imperialist-orchestrated campaign to destroy the impressive gain made in the Cuban Revolution… Long live the Cuban Revolution. Long live comrade Fidel Castro.”—Nelson Mandela, July 26, 1991, Cuba.
Nelson Mandela and Fidel Castro
Another participant in the Mandela memorial service, who shocked many (except for me) was none other than U.S. Senator Ted Cruz from Texas, who issued the following statement, before traveling to Johannesburg:
“Nelson Mandela will live in history as an inspiration for defenders of liberty around the globe. He stood firm for decades on the principle that until all South Africans enjoyed equal liberties he would not leave prison himself, declaring in his autobiography, ‘Freedom is indivisible; the chains on any one of my people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of my people were the chains on me.’ Because of his epic fight against injustice, an entire nation is now free.
“We mourn his loss and offer our condolences to his family and the people of South Africa.” — U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (Republican-Texas) – December 5, 2013
Ted Cruz has chosen to ignore Mandela’s admitted terrorist past as a Communist. Cruz has also chosen to ignore the fact that Mandela institutionalized unfettered abortion in South Africa– and that he single-handedly turned South Africa into a nation with some the most liberal laws on earth.
Based on Cruz’ public statement of admiration for Mandela and his decision to participate in the Mandela memorial event, is it possible that Senator Ted Cruz still harbors admiration for his own father’s participation as a pro-Castro revolutionary activist? “’He was a guerilla, throwing Molotov cocktails and blowing up buildings,‘ Ted Cruz told the Austin American-Statesman [about his father] for a profile published in January 2006,” according to The Dallas Morning News (October 25, 2011).
How else are we to explain Ted Cruz’ statement honoring Mandela– and his subsequent pilgrimage to South Africa to be at the memorial?
This two-sided political approach is very common in the Cuban exiled community and among those of Cuban descent, who often view their parents’ former socialist pro-Castro activism with starry-eyed idealism, while they also denounce Castro. This inconsistent political behavior is precisely what has divided the Cuban exiled community for more than 50 years.
As I said above, Ted Cruz’ participation in Nelson Mandela’s memorial and his written statement did not take me by surprise. Ted Cruz wants to have it both ways, but principled conservatives do not behave this way.
In what appears to be an obvious attempt to defuse the criticisms he has been receiving, Ted Cruz “walked out” when Raúl Castro was delivering his speech at the Mandela memorial. Too little, too late.
Another admirer of Nelson Mandela is U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, also of Cuban descent. Marco Rubio’s ambiguous account of his family’s return to Cuba afterCastro’s takeover in January 1959, continues to raise questions and eyebrows– considering that the executions of hundreds of innocent Cubans began immediately in 1959, in the fortress of La Cabaña. In addition, it was well known that hundreds of innocent farmers and civilians had been executed throughout the island by Castro and his band of Marxist thugs during their terrorist “revolution.” By 1960 all American businesses in Cuba had been nationalized without compensation– and the United States had broken off diplomatic relations with Havana.
Given these conditions, why did Marco Rubio’s parents leave the United States and return to Cuba to live under Castro?
Although Senator Marco Rubio did not travel to Johannesburg for Mandela’s memorial, his admiration for Nelson Mandela shows that Senator Marco Rubio and Senator Ted Cruz suffer from the same malady of political inconsistency. Much has changed with Rubio since he ran for the U.S. Senate. Here is Marco Rubio’s statement paying homage to Mandela:
“The world has lost one of history’s most important figures, though Nelson Mandela’s example will live on for generations to come. Men and women striving for justice and fairness around the world have drawn inspiration from Nelson Mandela, and he showed South Africans and the entire world what the power of forgiveness truly means and can accomplish. My wife Jeanette and I send our condolences to the Mandela family and to the people of South Africa.” — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (Republican-Florida) December 5, 2013.
Nelson Mandela and Communism
Nelson Mandela was not a political prisoner. He was imprisoned for espousing violent activities through the Umkhonto we Sizwe (abbreviated MK)– a terrorist organization which he co-founded, as the “armed” wing of the African National Congress (ANC).
During his trial Nelson Mandela pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence, which included organizing terrorist bombing campaigns. Scores of innocent people, both black and white, were killed by Nelson Mandela’s Umkhonto we Sizwe terrorists, including women and children. In any other country Nelson Mandela would have been sentenced to death, or would have spent life in prison. Yet, he enjoyed communication privileges unheard of, for a prisoner with such a criminal record.
As such, even Amnesty International, which is well known for its progressive side, would not take on Mandela’s case, since he was not a political prisoner (“prisoner of conscience”). In addition, pursuant to Amnesty International’s criterion, a “prisoner of conscience” must not have used nor advocated violence.
As cruel and abominable as apartheid was, Mandela’s legacy of terrorist violence and support of murderous Communist dictatorships cannot be justified
By the time Mandela came out of prison and became President of South Africa he had given up on the idea of full-blown communism, given that he would not receive aid from the Soviet Union, which had recently collapsed.
Cuba’s communism, which Mandela so admired, was his scariest example of a communist country starving after its long dependence on the Soviet Union. However, the communists from the former Communist bloc resurfaced through Sustainable Development (Agenda 21)– which is the United Nations socialist global initiative. The operatives of Agenda 21 have worked tirelessly in Africa to advance socialism– in ways that the Soviet Union could not achieve. Socialist politicians all over the world, including Mandela, have advanced their causes with the help of Sustainable Development, much more than they ever could with the help of the Soviets.
While Nelson Mandela praised Fidel Castro’s Communist dictatorship, the Strait of Florida had already become a cemetery for untold hundreds of thousands of Cubans who had drowned trying to escape. This does not include the untold number executed by Castro’s government forces. After nearly 55 years of Castro’s Communist dictatorship, the human loss has become one of the worst catastrophes recorded in modern history. But New World Order religious leaders, politicians and monarchs do not feel it is in their best interest to demand that the Communist dagger be removed from the heart of the Cuban people…

What the French are missing is authentic conservative leadership, which is hard to come by these days
By Marielena Montesino de Stuart
In spite of the November 13 massacre that took place in Paris at the hands of jihadists, it looks like the citizens of France are not ready for a nationalist political party, the Front National, which supports strict immigration laws, with particular emphasis on the current migrant/refugee crisis from Syria, as well as other regions torn apart by ISIS and Islamic extremists.
As you can see in the map below, the center-right Republicans (moderates) and the Socialists dominated the results. Republicans appear in blue– and Socialists…well, in their usual pink.
As jihadists continue to gain access to weapons in European countries where firearms are banned (see my previous post “Chaos in Europe”) it will be interesting to see what solutions the Republicans and the Socialists will offer the citizens of France.
We have seen how the United States government has subjected its laws to international treaties and UN agreements– which are now cited openly by even so-called “conservative legal experts” on the news. One can be sure that the citizens of France will face an even tougher battle, with EU regulations that affect the decisions made concerning their refugee/migrant crisis.
Meanwhile, the results of these French elections do not offer a clear solution to the terrorism dilemma that France is facing. What the French are missing is authentic conservative leadership, which is hard to come by these days.
We must pay careful attention to the public policies advanced by the French government regarding the battle against jihadists– because the results will affect us here in the United States. Given this precarious international scenario, we need a very strong leader in the White House.
It’s time to lift the fog… someone has to say the truth.

I came across this interesting article in the Jerusalem Post, which outlines the chaos that Europe faces– from the corruption at FIFA to jihadist violence. No wonder there are European countries that now refuse to cooperate with EU rules.

Tourism ads are appearing on television in an attempt to lure visitors to Cuba, the communist island prison. Meanwhile, Cubans are desperately trying to flee, through any means possible.
Besides the political repression and hunger brought about by the Castro Communist military regime, Cubans are also afraid that the Cuban Adjustment Act, which may facilitate a speedy legal entrance to the United States, could soon come to an end under Obama’s “diplomacy” and love affair with the communists in Havana.
It is both astounding and repulsive to watch the contrast between the tourism ads and the cruel reality of the Cuban people.
Here is the latest report from Pew Research, which shows a 78% increase in Cubans entering the United States this year:
