Do you know that Cubans now typically:

- fly to Nicaragua (commie buddies don’t require visas from Cubans)

- fly (or travel overland) to the US border

- enter through the Arizona desert, surrender, and claim asylum?

Exactly what the Venezuelans do. Yet DeSantis handpicks Venezuelans to send to Martha’s Vineyard. I wonder why. 

I am curious where you found this out? I know quite a few Cubans, especially ones whose families came over when Castro came over, and no one has ever stated anything like that.

That was the case historically. Not so much now (i do have some personal experience in this area). For example, from a newspaper catering to the U.S. Cuban community:

It is hard to believe that over 100k made that journey in just over a years time, that is literally 1% of their population. What is most insane to me is I have friends with family in Canada that they have not been able to see because they are not vaccinated and Canada considers them a threat.

GOP Senator Ben Sasse to Resign

 

7e39dab0-5ce1-4765-9ac1-6b87ecdff794-860

 

 

 

October is a month that just won’t quit, and another piece of big news dropped on Thursday. According to KFAB, a local news station in Nebraska, Republican Sen. Ben Sasse is set to announce he is resigning from the US Senate.

 

According to the report, Sasse could make things official as soon as Thursday with a schedule to leave office in December.

 

Sasse is reportedly leaving his position in Washington to take a role in higher education. I would presume he’s going to become the president of a major university as any lesser role probably wouldn’t have led to this result. Given that Sasse went to Yale, there might also be an opportunity for him in the Ivy League, though that seems less likely given the liberal bias at those institutions.

 

Could you imagine the rabid protests from students if he were to take a position at Harvard, for example? Sasse is a big Nebraska fan regarding football, so maybe that offers a clue.

 

As to his replacement, the GOP governor of the state gets to name a replacement, and there’s no reason to think it won’t be conservative Republican. Sasse himself has had a colorful relationship with the broader right, both as a critic of Donald Trump and also as someone with more neoconservative views. Because of that, some will no doubt cheer his departure.

 

To offer a personal observation, Sasse has appeared disinterested in the US Senate for the last several years. He seemed more excited about pushing his recent book than governing, so his exodus isn’t surprising. Perhaps it’s for the best.
