Ann Louise Bardach, Without Fidel

I'm looking around for some of the best biographies of Fidel.

This one looks like a good place to start. I love the title.

At Amazon, Ann Louise Bardach, Without Fidel: A Death Foretold in Miami, Havana and Washington.

Mayra Veronica Cuban Rule 5

Heh.

She's spicy Cuban hot, lol.

Hat Tip: Twitter.

Also on Instagram.

What a babe!

Fidel Castro, Cuba's Communist Dictator, Dead at 90

I still haven't finished this obituary. I started reading it on my phone last night when I got in bed, and I turned on the Michigan/Ohio State game when I got up.

Extremely comprehensive obituary. #FidelCastro https://t.co/thanwo2CIL

I'm loving the commentary on Twitter though.

The glamorization of Fidel Castro today is disturbing, if you love life, freedom and liberty you are appalled. pic.twitter.com/MkJNbDlDBh

Ban the Burqa

Pamela Geller writes at the Hill, "Yes, ban the burqa — it is a national security necessity."

I think CAIR, Media Matters, and the SPLC had a collective heart attack seeing this, lol.

Wisconsin's Edgewood College Investigates Heinous Crime of Post-It Note Hate Speech: 'Suck it up, pussies!'

Don't Like Trump's Cabinet Picks So Far? Too Bad — He Won

Well, leftists actually haven't accepted Trump's win. Now the big thing is a recount in the battleground states.

But see the letters to the editor, at the Los Angeles Times:

To the editor: Why “hard right”? Do you ever say “hard left”?

I’ll say it now: The Times is a biased, hard-left Democratic Party propaganda organ. Your coverage of the presidential election campaign was biased and partisan, with regular Trump bashing — not just in editorials and op-ed articles, but also news stories, book and art reviews and even sports.

Despite President Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s post-election statements, your coverage of the transition is even worse. What are you, journalists or Democratic Party political operatives?

Heh.

I'm surprised that letter even got through, lol.

Still more.

Sports Illustrated 'Football in America'

Following-up from earlier, "Mike Pereira, NFL's Former Head of Officiating, Watches Several Games at Once at Fox News Studios, Wearing Ugg Boots Just Below the View of the TV Camera."

Today's the best football day of the year: Three games and turkey dinner. You can't beat it for loafing around like an unemployed basement-dwelling fever swamp leftist, heh. (They probably don't even like football, since it's heteronormative and patriarchal, lol.)

'Be Ruthless in Tracking Your Enemies...'

Here's Sarah Kendzior, who's all about bridging our divides, lol.

No "hope and change". Clear-eyed vision and change. Be ruthless in tracking your enemies, and match that in compassion for whom they attack.

Mike Pereira, NFL's Former Head of Officiating, Watches Several Games at Once at Fox News Studios, Wearing Ugg Boots Just Below the View of the TV Camera

A really cool story.

At LAT, "Former NFL head of officiating Mike Pereira still gets to make the tough calls on games":

Beneath his natty three-piece suit, Mike Pereira wears thermal underwear. The millions of football fans who tune in every fall Sunday would have no idea that he’s clomping around in fur-lined UGG boots that are just below the view of the TV camera. His glass-walled workroom at Fox Sports studios, appropriately nicknamed the “Ice Cube,” has the thermostat twisted down to a crisp 50 degrees to combat the hot lights and keep everyone alert.

Without question, Pereira has the coolest job in the NFL...

Wayne State University Police Officer Dies After Being Shot in the Head in Horrific Ambush Shooting

Interesting how we've witnessed a rash of police ambush attacks right after the election of Donald Trump. I don't think it's a coincidence.

Following-up, "Rising Ambush-Style Attacks on Police Are Hate Crimes."

At the Detroit Free Press, "Wayne State campus police officer dies after being shot."
