Diario de Cuba’s Editorial on Its 15th Anniversary

On December 4 , Diario de Cuba, a daily Internet Cuban diary (in Spanish and English) published in Madrid, Spain, celebrated its 15th anniversary with the following editorial.[1] “Exactly 15 years ago, the first news and articles from this newspaper appeared on the screens of some readers. Over the course of this decade and a half, changes have taken place in Cuba, but not those necessary for the…

JD Vance agreed with the notion that raising grandchildren was “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female,” an unearthed 2020 podcast shows.

Vance also seemed to concur when the host suggested that having grandparents help raise children was a “weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman.”

It's the latest in comments from the Republican nominee for vice presdident about women and "traditional" roles that have drawn ire. Vance has faced intense criticism in recent weeks for previous sexist comments, including his remarks about "cat ladies."

Now, his appearance on ThePortal podcast with host Eric Weinstein in April 2020 has been thrust back into the limelight Vance spoke about his wife’s Indian family, noting that they emigrated to the US about a year before his wife, Usha Vance, was born. He said at the time, her parents were “devoted” to Usha and their grandchild as well as to “future grandchildren.”

The couple has three children, born in 2017, 2020 and in 2021.

“You can sort of see the effect it has on him to be around them like they spoil him,” he said of his first child. “There's sort of all the classic stuff that grandparents do to grandchildren, but it makes him a much better human being to have exposure to his grandparents.”

He added: “And the evidence on this is like super clear.”

“That’s the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female in theory,” Weinstein said at the time.

“Yes,” Vance agreed.

“When your child was born, did your in-laws, and particularly your mother-in-law, show up in some huge way?” Weinstein asked Vance.

“She lived with us for a year,” former President Donald Trump’s running mate noted.

“I didn't know the answer to that. So that's a weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman,” Weinstein responded.

“It’s in some ways, the most transgressive thing I've ever done against sort of the hyper-neo-liberal approach to work and family,” Vance said. “My wife had this baby seven weeks before she started the clerkship, [she’s] still not sleeping any more than an hour and a half in a given interval. And her mom just took a sabbatical. She's a biology professor in California, just took a sabbatical for a year and came and lived with us and took care of our kid for a year.”

He added that it was “painfully economically inefficient.”

“Why didn't she just keep her job, give us part of the wages to pay somebody else to do it?” he asked. “That is the thing that the hyper-liberalized economics wants you to do. The economic logic of always prioritizing paid wage labor over other forms of contributing to a society is to me ... a consequence of a sort of fundamental liberalism that is ultimately gonna unwind and collapse upon itself.”

“It's the abandonment of a sort of Aristotelian virtue politics for a hyper-market-oriented way of thinking about what's good and what's desirable,” he added. “If people are paying for it and it contributes to GDP and it makes the economic consumption numbers rise, then it's good, and if it doesn't, it's bad ... that's sort of the root of our political problem.”

The Director of Rapid Response for Kamala Harris, Ammar Moussa, wrote on X: “I’m sorry - who is out here just out here talking about the ‘postmenopausal female’ and their role in society?”

Democratic Illinois Congressman Sean Casten added: “Are you a post-menopausal woman? Did you quit your job to look after your grandkids? Because if you didn’t, you are not meeting your ‘whole purpose’ according to JD Vance.”

Vance has faced criticism for a number of unearthed comments from his past, most notably telling Fox News host Tucker Carlson in 2021 that the US was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”

“It’s just a basic fact — you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC [Alexandria Ocasio Cortez] — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children,” he said. “And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?”

Harris has two stepchildren and Buttigieg, the transportation secretary, adopted twins in August 2021.

idk, pretty sure the intent is fairly clear *and* we can put election-swaying weight to it!

Also, it's fucking weird to talk like this about people!

Presidential Election 2020 - Part 1

We’re a little late to the game but better late than never. Part of the reason was the hope that sensibility would prevail and the primaries would not continue to be inundated with candidates. However, much like the last time America went to the polls to pick a commander-in-chief, that does not seem to be the case. So with that in mind, here we go.

We will cover, in multiple parts, the candidates for your consideration. Regardless of political party or popularity. We would also like to note that we will not be including possible candidates, only those who are declared.

The Republicans

President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump

Absolutely no surprise here. While there is no shortage of one term Presidents, only one has not ran for re-election. That would be Lyndon B. Johnson. Johnson was technically only a one term President despite serving as Commander-in-Chief for six years. This is because he came into the job due to the death of President Kennedy. He won his first term in 1964 but did not launch a re-election campaign for the 1968 election citing divisiveness over the Vietnam War. Divisiveness is a problem for Trump but certainly not one that would make him consider giving up the White House.

In fact, the President seems to relish in it. But what are President Donald Trump‘s actual accomplishments since taking the highest office in the land? Well, that depends on who you ask and in the world of Trump, there are facts and then there are “alternative facts”.

In fact, his politics are so well known as of this point, there is little reason to write about them. Arguments about what his actual accomplishments are vary as well. Again, there is little point in discussing since the topic is so highly debated.

Here is what cannot be denied though. His supporters will be with him until the end. His detractors will fight him every step of the way. This time around, it’s going to be those who stand in the middle that decide his election fate.

    Bill Weld

Bill Weld

William “Bill” Floyd Weld is no stranger to the political arena. Weld began his career as a legal counsel (one of many) for the U.S. House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate scandal. In 1978, he made an unsuccessful bid for Massachusetts Attorney General. He was appointed in 1981 by Presdident Ronald Reagan as the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts. During his time there he focused on white-collar crimes and political corruption. Of 111 cases, he won 109.

Five years later he was promoted to the head of the Criminal Division of the Justice Department in Washington where his job was to supervise all federal prosecutions. The position was short-lived as two years later he resigned, along with five others, in protest over the improper conduct of U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese. For the next two years, Weld went into private practice.

He successfully ran for Governor of Massachusetts and served for just over six years. He then took aim at a Senate seat, hoping to displace Sen. John Kerry but ultimately lost. In 1997, President Clinton nominated him to be the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico. It was a nomination that he ultimately lost due to butting political heads with Senator Jesse Helms. Helms it seems did not feel that Weld was “Republican enough” aka conservative. Weld mounted another governorship campaign in 2005 for the state of New York but lost. He stepped away from politics for a time but decided to return in 2016 as the Vice-President candidate for the Libertarian Party. His running mate was former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson. They would go on to win 3.28% of the vote, roughly 4.5 million people, which was a Libertarian Party record. He rejoined the Republican Party on January 17, 2019.

Does He Stand a Chance?

Weld is a moderate Republican. He is a supporter of LGBTQ rights, abortion rights and medical marijuana. Beyond that however, not much is known. Except that he hates corruption. Seriously, he really hates it. This seems to be his entire motivation for running. He sees President Trump and his White House as the ultimate pinnacle of corruption and he wants to stop it. Even if he stands little chance. The RNC doesn’t even have a debate committee at this point and without a stage to trump Trump, Weld will likely see another unsuccessful bid for office. Still, you can’t blame him for trying. He’s not the only Republican, or third-party member, unimpressed with the Presidents performance.

Go Bill go!

  Trump a lock?

While the list of candidates is not long and it generally isn’t from a sitting President’s own party, there is room for other’s to decide to play along the way.

As of right now though, President Trump has the nomination all locked up.
