So Mayor Mamdani is angry that immigration laws were enforced and Governor Hochul wants the rich to be patriotic and pay the state's taxes. Wonder how much longer New Yorkers will keep voting for these people?

Democrats making stupid arguments in defense of the Save America legislation. Chavez down and falling. Governor Hochul wants more taxpayers to return to New York. Chuck Norris RIP.
How much longer will there be a César Chávez Blvd. in Dallas?

As you know by now, the New York Times dropped a big bomb a few days ago. Here it goes:
Ana Murguia remembers the day the man she had regarded as a hero called her house and summoned her to see him. She walked along a dirt trail, entered the rundown building, passed his secretary and stepped into his office.
He locked the door, as he always did when he called her, and told her how lonely he had been. He brought her onto the yoga mat that he often used in his office for meditation, kissed her and pulled her pants down. “Don’t tell anyone,” he told her afterward. “They’d get jealous.”
The man, Cesar Chavez, one of the most revered figures in the Latino civil rights movement, was 45. She was 13. Ms. Murguia said she was summoned for sexual encounters with him dozens of times over the next four years.
Recently, more than 50 years later, Ms. Murguia learned that a street near her home in the Central California city of Bakersfield was in the process of being renamed. City officials want to name it in honor of her abuser.
Cesar Chavez Boulevard.
Ms. Murguia and another woman, Debra Rojas, say that Mr. Chavez sexually abused them for years when they were girls, from around 1972 to 1977. He was in his 40s and had become a powerful, charismatic figure who captured global attention as a champion of farmworker rights.
The two women have not shared their stories publicly before, and an investigation by The New York Times has uncovered extensive evidence to support their accusations and those raised by several other women against Mr. Chavez, the United Farm Workers co-founder who died in 1993 at the age of 66.
Well, that's a big bomb, to say the least. It leaves many of us wondering, why now? Why did these ladies keep it to themselves all of these years? I don't know but someone needs to ask that question.
As we've learned over the years, men who engage in this kind of behavior create conversation, i.e. Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas. No matter how much they want to keep it a secret, somehow the word gets out. That did not happen here, even though Cesar was active with lots of women who were volunteers in the cause. According to the article, the women did not want to tarnish the image of the leader. Wonder what some of these women got for providing, as the article again points out, "sexual gratification" to the leader?
My other reaction here is how quickly they are tearing down his legacy. Who is standing up for Cesar, a man who died 33 years ago? I thought that he had a lot of friends. Apparently not.
The article did reveal Cesar's romantic side. He told one of the young girls that he thought about her every time that the Flamingos song, “I Only Have Eyes for You,” was played on the radio. Romance always wins the girl, or keeps her silent in this case.
Honestly, the song that Cesar reminds me of is Bob Dylan's "Love is Just a Four Letter Word."

The new party was formed by former members of the Whig Party to oppose the spread of slavery into the western territories.
In my case, I became a de facto Republican after the Kennedy administration fumbled The Bay of Pigs invasion.
For many of us Cuban-Americans, the invasion was personal.
I mean that some of us had relatives in the ill-fated Brigade 2506, or else they themselves had been arrested while on the island.
After the Bay of Pigs, the Castro regime came down very hard on dissent. My father's cousin, a young doctor, was arrested and spent 14 years in a political prison without a trial. He was eventually released when the president of France negotiated the release of some men from prison. Thee Catholic schools were closed around that time and I can still remember my father picking us up and driving home. So I guess we became anti-JFK Republicans!
In the mid-1970s, I found an ideological home in the Reagan movement. I cheered his anti-communism, but also related to his conservative message.
The small government and free market message hit home!

We also nominated some great men who did not win, such as McCain in '08, Romney in '12 and Dole in '96. They were talented men and war heroes.
Who needs friends like these?

"Today is the anniversary of the birth of the great Nat "King" Cole.
Cole was born on St. Patricks's Day, though until Daniel Mark Epstein did the research for his biography of Cole, we weren't entirely sure that the year was 1919.
He was born in Montgomery, Alabama and grew up in Chicago after his father moved the family there in 1923 to pursue a career in the ministry.
Cole first made his name as a jazz pianist. He developed an intensely loyal jazz audience with the King Cole Trio (Oscar Moore on guitar and Wesley Prince on bass), the outfit that established the piano/guitar/bass format as a formidable jazz vehicle.
It is almost unbelievable, given Cole's talent as a vocalist, that the Trio in fact began as an instrumental combo."
No lights in Cuba. Team USA wins the night plus we remember James Madison (1751-1836) and Jerry Lewis (1926-2017).
A guy named "Travis" should live in Texas.
