RIP David Hofer, Euless police officer



We remember the life of David Hofer, the Euless police officer killed a couple of days ago.   He was a great guy and dedicated  police officer, as we read in news reports.

The 35% man strikes again

It was a Super Tuesday for Mr Trump but not a good day for the 65% who keep voting for someone else. These were Mr Trump’s results:
Alaska (33%), Alabama (43%), Arkansas (33%), Georgia (39%), Massachusetts (49%), Oklahoma (28%), Tennessee (39%), Texas (27%), Virginia (35%), Vermont (33%) and Minnesota (21%).
Yes he will win the nomination, specially once we get into the winner take all calendar.   
My request to the candidates is simple:   Drop out if you can not win your home states on March 15th. Governor Kasich and Senator Rubio should drop out if they lose Ohio and Florida respectively.
Let’s see how Mr Trump does against a single opponent. Can he get more than 35% of the vote against Senator Cruz?  
We need to see a one on one contest to prove that Mr Trump is ready for a general election.
My concern continues:  Mr Trump loses to Mrs Clinton.   The latest CNN has Clinton up 52-44%. The RCP average is Clinton up by 3!
Memo to “Trumpistas”: I don’t hate Trump.   I just want evidence that he can win the general election!

Cuba’s “flawed freedom ways”


According to a news report, Cuba will allow dissidents to travel overseas. However, there is a catch as one would expect from anything that comes from the Castro regime.
Cuba has given some prominent dissidents one-time permission to travel overseas, weeks before President Obama is expected to visit and call for greater freedoms in Cuba.
Officials contacted half a dozen dissidents who were imprisoned during a 2003 crackdown and released as part of a deal brokered by the Roman Catholic Church in 2010 and told them they could make one trip abroad, said Hector Maseda Gutiérrez, one of the dissidents. He turned down the offer because it excluded four other former prisoners, including José Daniel Ferrer, leader of the Patriotic Union of Cuba.
This is an insult to Cuban dissidents and those of us who love freedom.
First, a free country does not give dissidents “one time permission” to travel.   On the contrary, it lets them travel freely and to have contacts with international groups and media.
Second, the so-called permission should not exclude any prisoner of conscience.
Sadly, nothing has changed in Cuba except for the Castro family’s fortunes, political and economic.
