There are some who say that the Cuban “regime” is on the verge of collapse. The problem is somebody forgot to tell the folks who work for the ministries of the Cuban national and provincial governments that they pertain to a state that is no longer functioning.

Hurricane Melissa has left a trail of devastation through the Antilles with over 30 deaths in Haiti and Jamaica to date.

It must be acknowledged that one of the characteristics of Donald Trump’s current administration in its handling of “information” is the constant creation of content that overlaps with each other, generates doubts, circulates torrents of false data, and, obviously, makes analysis more difficult.
