To answer the question why so many Hispanics are now voting for Republicans, NBC tasked Paola Ramos to make a Peacock docuseries and on Wednesday’s Jose Diaz-Balart on MSNBC, Ramos was able to report back an answer: disinformation, toxic culture wars, and being paranoid about socialism and communism.

President Biden’s speech from Warsaw Saturday night, reminded me of two previous presidents who delivered speeches confronting the autocracy that was then the Soviet Union and is now Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, a man Biden has rightly called a war criminal. On June 26, 1963, Kennedy spoke before the Berlin Wall which the Soviets had erected to stem the flow of Berliners…

Politico, apparently tired of being mocked for overusing "Republicans pounced" have found a new replacement word: "pile."

Oh, for the good old days of the Soviet Union. America’s foreign policy and goals were clear then: containment and opposition to communist expansion. Nuclear weapons were a deterrent, but neither side believed the other would use them. Russian President Vladimir Putin has changed the game by threatening to use nukes should the U.S. directly confront his forces now raping Ukraine and…

New York Times reporter Alex Williams paid tribute to Harry Belafonte, the aging entertainer and fan of the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, on Sunday. The story included plenty of pictures from the lefty-studded NYC gala held in the entertainer’s honor: "But this was not merely a night for looking back. 'You can’t fight for democracy in the Ukraine and not…

Even the liberal Associated Press observed that NBC’s multi-billion dollar Olympics bet on pro-communist China just went up in flames. The Associated Press (AP) called the Olympics a “disaster” for NBC, especially after it secured a $7.75 billion deal for exclusive rights to cover the Games through 2032.

Freedom lovers all over got an amazing Christmas present 30 years ago today. On December 25, 1991, the Soviet Union was collapsed.

Shipping giant Amazon has reportedly banned ratings and reviews for a book by Chinese President Xi Jinping at the demand of the Chinese government. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) government apparently became sensitive to negative reviews and ratings on Amazon of Xi’s collection Xi Jinping: The Governance of China, according to Reuters. The CCP reportedly…

The New York Times willfully suffered on Thursday what could only be referred to as its “austere religious scholar” moment (as a callback to The Washington Post’s obituary of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi) as it touted the retirement of the editor in chief for the Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece the Global Times, trumpeting Hu Xijin as having helmed “some have called…

YouTube is not only censoring conservatives, but recently, it has reportedly become a platform for something perhaps just as sinister: Western influencers who paint positive pictures of Communist China, even repeating Chinese propaganda along the way.

It was five years ago this week, on November 25, 2016, that Cuba’s Fidel Castro died Rather than focus mostly on how repressive he had been, many outlets could not stop themselves from hailing the murderous dictator. Cheering his work on health care and literacy, they focused less on the killing and the jailing.

Axios Latino, or Latinxios for short, has put its tone deaf-ness on display by celebrating the murderous Castro dictatorship's literacy brigades as "Hispanic Heritage". 

Georgia (the ex-Soviet Republic, not the U.S. state) is now a remarkable success story. Its economy is growing at 5% per year, and the country ranks ahead of the United States in economic freedom.
