PRESIDENT MARCO RUBIO??? / by Jorge E. Ponce
Former President Barack Obama gave a speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention that paved the way to his becoming the 44th U.S. President. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave a speech on October 7, 2026, from the Acropolis in Athens, Greece that similarly should ease his path to becoming the 2028 GOP…
WHY HISPANICS MUST VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS / by Jorge E. Ponce
Many politicians and media outlets imply repeatedly that President Trump is going to lose a significant number of Hispanics who voted for him in 2024 because of his aggressive campaign to apprehend and deport immigrants. But here lies the catch. They intentionally muddle the discussion by failing to differentiate between “legal” and “illegal” immigrants. Under…
THE DENGUE PLAGUE HITS FLORIDA / by Jorge E. Ponce
The Tampa Bay Area has a record number of locally-acquired dengue cases in 2026. During the month of September, there was one confirmed fatality and 160 cases in Hillsborough County, 7 in Pinellas County, and 2 in Pasco County. All three counties have issued temporary states of emergency and deployed targeted truck and aerial spraying…
MY INTERVIEWS ABOUT MY BOOK / JORGE E. PONCE
I’ve been interviewed on TV and radio innumerable times in the past. I’m grateful to those who have interviewed me. But there is always a challenge associated with these interviews. They are all time limited — with space allowed to air commercials. With the above limitations in mind, I’ve prepared this article to cover more…
LIVE OR DIE ON NOVEMBER 3, 2026 / by Jorge E. Ponce
Prior to the election of Barack Hussein Obama to the White House in 2008, the political gamesmanship was played very differently. It was more collegial and served the Nation well. Previously, Americans favored and voted to have split control of at least one chamber of the U.S. Congress. Their rationale was that this provided a…
WHY IS COMMUNISM POPULAR IN THE U.S. IN 2026? / by Jorge E. Ponce
I’m amazed that with so much documented history on the failures of every communist regime in history, there is an upsurge in sympathy in some sectors in the United States for socialism and communism. And make no mistake about it. Socialism, Democratic Socialism, and Communism are all part of the same leftist propaganda to obfuscate…
Letter to Andres Oppenheimer Article on the Pope Leo/President Trump Controversy / by Jorge E. Ponce
Andrés Oppenheimer wrote an editorial on April 24, 2026 in which he cited multiple surveys showing that Pope Leo XIV was winning the latest controversy with President Trump. It would be wise for Oppenheimer to read the wise words of the American writer Andrew Ferguson, who wrote an article in the November 2010 edition of…
REPUBLICANS, IMMIGRATION AND THE 2026 MIDTERM ELECTIONS / by Jorge E. Ponce
With the midterm elections scheduled for November 3, 2026, Republicans can’t afford to lose their majorities in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. If they lose the House, Democrats will be quick to launch impeachment inquiries — and the President’s “Keep-America-Great” agenda will be hampered significantly with dire consequences for Republicans in the…
SOME INCIDENTS IN MY TRAJECTORY AS A CUBAN REFUGEE / by Jorge E. Ponce
The trajectory of a refugee is one of embracing other cultures while never forgetting the one where you come from. It could be painful at times but often life doesn’t offer many viable choices. With fifty-nine years living in the United States, I’d like to offer four incidents that caused me to stop and think…
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION / Jorge E. Ponce
Andres Oppenheimer challenged, in a December 3rd op-ed, the current immigration policies of President Trump. His one-sided arguments merit a more impartial rebuttal. While I submitted a letter to the editor to the Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald, where Andre’s op-ed was published, my letter was ignored. I was not surprised given the liberal ideological orientation…
