CUBA

This is May 20, with a dozen more postings left this month, and the number of readers for the month has already passed one million.  Today will break the daily record of 180,000.  These numbers only include the original version of this blog.  I can add readers from the new site, which is the same as the old, but looks different.  So, for those new visitors, welcome to SIMPLE SOLUTIONS FOR PLANET EARTH AND HUMANITY.  The title of this blog came from two of my books, SIMPLE SOLUTIONS for Planet Earth and SIMPLE SOLUTIONS for Humanity. Cuba is back in the news today.  Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche today announced the indictment of former Cuban President Raul Castro and five others, an action that a Florida jury took last month on charges of conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals.  Will the U.S. kidnap Castro like we did to Venezulela President Nicolas Madura? Incidentally, running Venezuala is former vice-president Delcy Rodriguez, who President Dona...

Six states will have primaries today, and President Donald Trump, who seemingly has regained influence, will probably continue his success at determining which Republicans will run in the November general elections.   His Texas support for Ken Paxton over John Cornyn in particular should be interesting.     He last week ended Senator Bill Cassidy congressional career in Louisiana, and Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky might be in trouble.  These two Republicans defied Trump. Of course, will there even be elections on November 3? The U.S. was ready to again attack Iran, when, on pressure from Middle East allies, he cancelled the strikes yesterday, citing progress towards a deal.  Iran submitted a revised 14-point proposal to Pakistan mediators.  No details yet on what happens to the Strait of Hormuz, or the matter of enriched uraniu...

FLEETWOOD MAC

Here it is, Monday morning, when I review what happened over the weekend and what is to come this week, and there is almost emptiness. Sure, Aaron Rai overcame 290-1 odds to became the first player from England to win the PGA Golf Tournament in more than a century .    Second of India heritage to win it. Americans had a 10-year winning streak going.   But who really cares.   I actually was watching when he sunk a 68.5 -foot putt on the par-3 17th to seal the deal. He is one of the quirkiest golfers, always wearing two rain gloves, keeping his irons covered (pros don't do that), uses older clubs and pink "Castle tees to tee his ball to the same height at every drive.   Watch this video . I asked Google AI, and this is all it would say: Major upcoming global events taking place between today and Saturday, May 23, 2026, include the climax of the Cannes Film Festival in France, the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix [Recent] Cannes Film Festival , and t...
