As the Political Pendulum Swings, Don’t Miss the Window to Shape Geopolitics
The Western Hemisphere is entering a defining moment. At Florida International University’s 2026 Hemispheric Security Conference, a panel with a former president of Costa Rica examined how changes in administrations drive geopolitical shifts across the Americas. The core insight was clear. Elections do not only change governments, they move borders, markets and alliances. Every transition of power in the Western Hemisphere reverberates far beyond the country holding the vote.
Why Belize Is Turning Up on Washington’s Radar as a Red Flag – DC Journal - InsideSources
President Donald Trump and his administration are one year into their second act, and one thing is clear: The rules of the game for the Western Hemisphere have changed. For years, small and larger nations in Latin America could operate under the radar. That era is over. Venezuela and Cuba are living this firsthand.
Piantini and Mallea: The DR Latin America’s next tech powerhouse
For decades, the Dominican Republic has been synonymous with turquoise waters, bachata rhythms and world-class hospitality. Looking ahead, another story is emerging — one of circuit boards, code, cutting-edge innovation, and strategic alliance with the United States for cybersecurity and intelligence. By the end of July 2023, the DR had broken records with 7.2 million international visitors.

Extend Trump’s tax cuts to keep the American Dream alive
The Latino community powers the U.S. economy, fueling billions in revenue, millions of jobs, and a vibrant network of small businesses. Yet years of inflation and economic uncertainty have dimmed hope for many, with most Latinos feeling the American Dream is slipping out of reach. Congress has a chance to change that by extending the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 — a proven policy that lifted families, spurred growth and gave hardworking Americans a shot at prosperity.

Panama’s Strategic Pivot to Trump’s America - Inside Sources
With Donald Trump’s return to the White House, Panama is recalibrating its foreign policy to align with a shifting Washington. The confirmation of Kevin Cabrera as U.S. ambassador signals Panama’s intent to deepen ties with the United States and navigate the challenges of great-power rivalry — particularly over the Panama Canal. Cabrera, a Miami-Dade County, Fla., commissioner and Trump loyalist, brings political acumen and a mandate: advance U.S. interests while strengthening bilateral relations.

If Biden loses in November, it may be over squandering the crucial Hispanic vote
Original Article Posted By: Moritz55, 3/17/2024 12:31:15 PM With eight months still to go until the presidential election, many on the Left are in denial of one of the more historic and significant shifts happening within a key voting bloc - Latino voters.

Latinos are a core voter bloc Pres. Biden needs to win in order to retain the White House. But their support for Biden is waning just as he needs it most. AFP via Getty Images With eight months still to go until the presidential election, many on the Left are in denial of one of the more historic and significant shifts happening within a key voting bloc — Latino voters. The chief fallacy of the Democrats right now is that they believe President Joe Biden’s problems are all about perception.
Why this holiday season is hitting Hispanic Americans at their pocketbooks Original
Christmas may be the most wonderful time of the year, but it can also be one of the most expensive. Making merry with friends and family, surprising one’s children on Christmas morning, and creating memories that will last a lifetime are worth every penny. But they can cost a lot of pennies. Which is why when Hispanic American families sit at the table this year to celebrate “Noche Buena” they will be well aware that the Biden economy is not working for them.
National survey: Biden has a Latino problem
President Biden has a Latino problem. That’s a takeaway from a new poll that The LIBRE Institute recently published. The poll examines the U.S. Hispanic community’s attitude to a host of policy issues, and the results highlight a challenge — and an opportunity — facing all politicians: One of America’s largest and fastest-growing voting groups is deeply dissatisfied with the status quo. Politicians ignore the Hispanic community at their peril.

No, Hunter Biden isn't a 'troubled child'
Liberal pundits are descending to ever greater depths of self-abasement in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election . On this past weekend's edition of Fox News Sunday, senior political analyst Juan Williams made his case to become D.C.'s swampiest commentator by attempting to spin the Hunter Biden saga into an occasion of sympathy for President Joe Biden .
No, the US doesn't need lottery elections
Relative to other nations, the United States is actually in great shape. The economy has recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. Most people are enjoying unprecedented prosperity. And it appears that the U.S. is again gaining a share of global gross domestic product as China slips into the economic doom loop of authoritarianism and demographic implosion. Most importantly, the Constitution and the rule of law are intact.
The GOP event should have looked more like Lincoln-Douglas's Original
On Wednesday, the public witnessed the first GOP presidential debate of the 2024 cycle . Eight candidates qualified, though the front-runner, former President Donald Trump , refused to participate. The event begins a series of debates on the Republican side as the party’s voters consider whom they want to run for the nation’s highest office in 2024. In assessing these debates, we should consider a historical precedent.
If the Biden administration has nothing to hide, why not comply?
It’s been nearly two months since the House Ways and Means, Judiciary, and Oversight and Accountability committees called on more than a dozen federal employees from the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Justice, and Secret Service to come forward and provide voluntary testimony concerning the DOJ’s alleged cover-up of tax crimes committed by the president’s son, Hunter Biden.
Federal court strikes down East Lansing’s anti-Catholic rule for farmers market Original
When the government of East Lansing, Michigan , learned that an orthodox Catholic apple farmer had infiltrated its farmer’s market, it acted quickly to remedy that. The East Lansing Farmer’s Market disinvited Country Mills Farm, a longtime vendor, after finding out that Country Mills occasionally hosted wedding receptions but wouldn’t host receptions for same-sex weddings . The farm is not a public accommodation covered by anti-discrimination laws.
Bidenomics is failing Hispanics, and everyone else
Last month, the White House unveiled a strange new message that left economists, workers, and consumers scratching their heads. “Bidenomics,” the president’s team announced, “is working.” This must have come as news to millions of families struggling to make ends meet against the galloping inflation rates, sluggish wage growth, suffocating regulations, and cronyism that have defined this president’s stewardship of the United States economy. They know that Bidenomics is not working.

Hurricane Warning, with a Chance of Scam
As Florida braces for a direct hit from a powerful hurricane, we must be on the lookout for more than just the approaching storm. Anyone who has suffered damage to his or her property can become the target of unscrupulous scams involving dishonest contractors and their dodgy trial lawyer buddies. And we thought hurricanes were the destructive force! In the 1917 landmark case, West Florida Grocery Co. v. Teutonia Fire Ins.

National Review
The doomed Dole campaign gave Marco Rubio an inner circle in Miami politics. When David Rivera asked then-25-year-old Marco Rubio to lead Bob Dole’s 1996 general-election campaign in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties, he was making a leap of faith. The leap of faith fell short. Dole trailed Clinton throughout the summer and fall of ’96, creating an atmosphere of doom around the sunny office.
The Libre Initiative: The Koch Brothers’ Focus on Latino Voters
In September 2011, the Center for Public Integrity reported that former Bush administration official Daniel Garza had launched the Libre Initiative, a new group dedicated to bringing Latino voters back into the fold of the Republican Party. Garza declined to say where he found the funding for his new group, but he did mention that he had approached “representatives of the Koch family.” That seems to have been an understatement.
