The Obama-Iran deal did not work

The Obama-Iran deal did not work:

Obama and his policies were complete failures. 

The bottom line is that the agreement did not keep Iran from using underground facilities, like the one we bombed, or making those long distance missiles, like the ones they fired into the ocean.

Last, but not least, what did they do with all of that cash, all $1.7 billion of it?  Where did that money go?  Some of it probably ended up financing the atrocities of October 7th.

We remember Estela Raval (1935-2012)

As a young boy in Cuba, and later in the US, I remember hearing “Quiereme Siempre” on the radio.  

Estela Raval was born May 19, 1935 in Argentina.   She died on June 6, 2012.   She was the lead vocalist of Los Cinco Latinos, a wonderful group from the 1950’s and 1960’s.  They recorded many Spanish versions of The Platters’ hits, such as “Mi oracion” and other of their own hits like “Quiereme siempre“. 

The Cinco Latinos had great harmonies plus Estela’s very elegant look.

Happy # 81 Pete Townshend

We say happy birthday to Pete Townshend, who was born in London on this day in 1945.    

According to his biography, Pete got into rock when "Rock around the clock" hit the radio in 1956.   Eventually, he joined The Who, one of the super bands of rock history.

My favorites are "Happy Jack" and "Pinball wizard":

May 19, 1895: We remember Jose Marti

Jose Marti was killed on May 19, 1895.   His death on the battlefield came after years of speeches, articles and contributions to the cause of Cuban independence from Spain. 

His life was short but very consequential, from writing poetry to articles about Cuban independence to earning the title of "The Apostle of the Republic".

There will be remembrances of Marti’s death in Castro’s enslaved Cuba and among Cuban Americans living in the US.    

My conviction is that Marti’s spirit of freedom for Cuba will be with those of us who want to end this totalitarian regime run by the Castro family.

Looking at California, and wondering why

Looking at California, and wondering why:

Spencer Pratt’s ads highlight the wreck of L.A., but could speak for all of California. So, one must ask why the voters did that to themselves.

We remember Brooks Robinson. (1937-2023)

We remember Brooks Robinson, who was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, on this day in 1937.    He died in 2023.

Brooks Robinson broke with the Orioles in 1957 and played his entire career in Baltimore.    I attended Brooks Robinson Day at Memorial Stadium in September 1977.  Along the way, he played in 4 World Series, 6 ALCS, earned the 1964 AL MVP and won an astonishing 16 consecutive gold gloves for his work as a third baseman.   His play in the 1970 World Series earned him the series MVP.    

In 1957-58, Robinson played second base with Cienfuegos hitting .207 with 9 homeruns. As my late father used to say, many young players went to Cuba as a stepping stone to making the major league roster.

Overall, he hit .267 with 2,848 hits, 268 HR & 1,367 RBI.   Brooks had a reputation for being a great clutch hitter.     In his prime, he could hit a HR, a double or make a great play at third.

Robinson was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983 and continues to be one of the most popular players of all time.
