Cuba & the Caribbean

And the Gutless U.S. Media!
{Tuesday, September 12th, 2017}

      The photo above shows Tom Slater, the top meteorologist at CNN, reporting on the devastation in Florida caused by Hurricane Irma. At 9:36 P. M. on Monday, September 11th, 2017 -- in prime-time with CNN anchor Anderson Cooper -- Tom Slater said, "Thank God that Hurricane Irma made landfall in Cuba, weakening it, before it hit Florida." The gutless comment, typical of the politically correct U. S. media, showed zero respect for many Cubans killed when Hurricane Irma "hit" Cuba.

     Please understand that I do not intend this as an excoriation of Tom Slater. He is an excellent meteorologist and he has recently returned to CNN after extensive surgery. I assume he's a nice person. But his aforementioned gutless and stupid comment reminds me of the pure gutlessness of the U. S. media and the sheer cowardice of the mostly uncaring and unpatriotic American people. Since the Cuban Revolution on the first day of 1959 chased the leaders of the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship to their new capital of Little Havana in Miami, Florida, two generations of American people have been successfully told that the Batistianos and the Mafiosi in first Cuba and then Miami were/are Mother Teresa-like angels and that Cubans still on the island are anti-American fiends. Those blatant lies -- which Tom Slater expounded on Monday night, Sept. 11-2017 -- have chronicled the gutlessness and stupidity of two generations of Americans since the 1950s. That gutlessness and stupidity in regards to Cuba currently shames America with a unanimous 191-to-0 United Nations vote, which means ALL of America's friends in this world strongly oppose America's gutless and stupid Cuban policies. And I would like to suggest to Tom Slater that there is, in a very diverse world, no other topic that could garner SUCH WORLDWIDE condemnation. But, Tom Slater, that unanimous condemnation is WELL DESERVED, and I think you should know that.
