The MSNBC photo above shows Jose Diaz-Balart this first week in March of 2025 announcing the death of his brother Lincoln Diaz-Balart. Jose is a famous news anchor for both MSNBC and NBC News.
In this first week in March of 2025 there are major headlines domestically and internatiionally concerning the United States but, as usual, somehow Cuban headlines keep seeping in. The two headlines shown above are examples --- one from the London-based The Guardian and one from The New York Times. One of the headlines tells about the dire hardships facing everyday Cuban families as the new Trump administration drastically tightens the U. S. Embargo/Blockade against Cuba, an Embargo/Blockade that has existed since 1962 and has drastically caused dire headaches for Cuban familes. And the other Top Cuban Headline shown above is about the death this week of Lincoln Diaz-Balart who was born in Havana in 1954 but, after the Fidel Castro-led Cuban Revolution on January 1st in 1959 overthrew the US/Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship, fled to Florida with his father Rafael who had been a top Minister in the Batista dictatorship. Rafael's son Lincoln grew up to become a highly educated lawyer and a vicious anti-Castro U. S. politician in Miami and in Washingtton. Below are pertinent excerpts from the superb book-length article in the The New York Times regarding the death this week of Lincoln Diaz-Balart, a frontline player in the historic and ongoing United States-Cuban saga:
