Tampa Mayor Supports The MCM

Tampa mayor Bob Buckhorn is in no hurry to court Cuba. He has taken the position of the Uber- Right Wing "Miami Cuban Mafia". His aloofness is at odds with most in Tampa, from the business chamber to other elected officials, many of whom have visited Cuba already and have been actively pushing for better relations with Havana. Could it be that Buckhorn's antipathy is calculated for a speculated run for governor in 2018, where he would appeal more to South Florida's Cuban exiles? I am sure he knows that polls show a majority of Cuban-Americans say the U.S. should end its embargo of Cuba. 

On the other side of the pond the great mayor of St. Pete Rick Kriseman is a player. He didn't hide his glee earlier this week when the United States and Cuba reopened their long-closed embassies. "This can only mean great things for the Sunshine City and the Tampa Bay area," Kriseman said on Twitter and Facebook, where he repeated his intent to visit Cuba. He even wants to steal the Cuban consulate office from Ybor City. here

Marco Rubio Not Cuba's Favorite Son

This should not come as a surprise. Rubio is a reactionary fanatic who demagogues incessantly about the evils of the Cuban government. He supports illegal and immoral policies that cause vast damage to the Cuban economy and needless suffering by the Cuban people.

But Rubio cannot accept that Cubans’ nearly unanimous rejection of his right-wing politics might mean he is badly mistaken in his Manichean view of the Cuban socioeconomic system. Rubio wears Cubans’ disapproval of him as a badge of honor. For Rubio, Cubans are incapable of independent judgement. If the Cuban people are against him, it means they must be brainwashed 
by the evil Castro regime.

BernieSanders White Knights

A local activist brought to our attention this commentary by the website "Fight Back News" on her Facebook page (Which no longer exist) on why they will not support Bernie Sanders. here

"we cannot support the candidacy of Mr. Sanders. As senator, Sanders supported the 2010 Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill that included more militarization of the border, more temporary workers, cutting legal immigration from Africa in half by the elimination of the so-called diversity visa, and cutting back on family reunification visas. Sanders has said almost nothing about the ongoing police occupation of oppressed nationality communities, and the plague of police killings that target young Black and brown men."

We expressed our opinion on her comment section but the post disappeared, apparently  dissent is not tolerated. 

We think one of their own said it best:
"It's an organizing opportunity, not a horse race or a checkoff list of 'correct' positions. Avoiding the electoral area, failing to build organizations with a capacity to win elections at the grassroots, and counter-posing it with a kind of 'street heat syndicalism.' isn't going to get us where we need to go."

Sandra Bland Deserves Justice

Last Friday, 28 year-old Sandra Bland was driving to her new job in Waller County, TX when she was pulled over for switching lanes without a signal--a routine violation that usually ends with a ticket. But instead, officers slammed her head into the ground and arrested her. Three days later, she died in police custody. here

Rick Scott Is Cool With Trump's Racism

HE WAS NOT OFFENDED
He was asked what he thought of Trump's comments on whether Mexican immigrants were, for the most part, "killers" and "rapists". You would think Rick Scott could handle an easy condemnation of Trump's remarks considering he is governor of a state with 
a very large Hispanic population. here

Here is what Mr. Manjarres had to say:

"Just because Lopez is Latino, he does not represent every Latino from countries like Brazil, Colombian, Venezuela, or even Mexico. (You forgot Cuba) Hey George, not every Latino is Mexican, and many of these Latinos support what Donald Trump said."

Rick Scott's War On Wildlife

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) director Nick Wiley created the new panther management plan almost exclusively with a rancher who was appointed by Rick Scott to the FWC commission. The state of Florida spends nearly $1 million per year studying the panther, yet the scientists and biologists involved in those studies weren’t even consulted until after the controversial plan was drafted. here

Marco Rubio’s Dumbest Idea Yet

Kid Rock Can Kiss My Tampa Ass

A few weeks ago when a friend from Michigan and I went to buy our tickets for the Def Leppard concert he picked up a couple for the Kid's show at the Trop. tonight. He is a big fan of Kid Rock as I am of the opening act "Foreigner." After hearing what he said about protestors of the Confederate flag. I decided I am going to sit this one out, Sorry Foreigner. He found another friend to use the ticket, I hope they have fun among the bubbas.
