Trump is prepping America for a military intervention in Cuba.

UN Ambassador Mike Waltz got into a shouting match with the Cuban officials at a UN General Assembly meeting a couple of days ago. He made the usual charges against Cuba and their communist government.

The Cuban representatives, at one time, started pounding on their desks to show disapproval of Waltz' comments. They exchanged accusations.

The Cubans said there was an embargo on Cuba that was creating hardships for their people, including power failures and shortages of food. They showed photos of streets with no lights and operating rooms during surgery with flashlights. A reported ten million Cubans were without power. They said it was equivalent to an act of war.

It does seem the situation in Cuba is reaching a critical point. Does the US have plans of invading Cuba and taking out their leadership, similar to what they did in Venezuela?

Is Trump's recent rhetoric about "communism" really about domestic politics or is it about the leadership in Cuba? Is he telegraphing his intentions for that island?

There are other reports this morning that Trump is taking off for the next three days. Are the plans being finalized for some sort of military intervention, perhaps in Cuba?

Face palm...

Despite the precedent of Carter being able to continue the operation of his peanut storage/distribution business while he was President and other Presidents doing likewise, Progs are trying to gin up fauxny issue over Trump’s decades-old businesses continuing to be profitable.

The Trump-Haters’ lie is that he is using the Presidency in some, unidentified way, to make those businesses profitable (even though they were during the Biden years).

Trump has lost money being the President..

Looks like Spain is not laughing at Trump, https://townhall.com/tipsheet/dmitri-bolt/2026/07/09/spain-just-cut-a-check-for-nato-after-trump-threatened-them-n2679104 :

Just hours after President Trump threatened to halt trade with Spain over its insufficient NATO spending, he revealed Wednesday that Madrid had moved quickly to increase its financial contribution to the alliance.
…
"I will say I did have issues with Spain, and I still do. But Spain came back all the way today. Spain was very generous today," the president said. "You know, I told them I'm going to stop trading. They honored the request for lots of payments. And if they didn't, we wouldn't even talk to them."

"They were very bad. They behaved very badly, in my opinion," Trump added. "But there was great unity in that room today. The NATO room was pretty much pretty amazing, actually. There was something very good about it. I actually wish the press was able to stay. Now, they may have been different if the press was there, but there was tremendous unity and togetherness. It was quite nice."

Trump exaggerates progress, sometimes, to avoid ruffling sensitive feathers, but it looks like EuroLanders’ attitude is, “We dislike you a lot, but you’re right … we just wish you’d said it more nicely.”

Sigh.  I guess I will start.
