Selena Lambert Ortega, a 24-year-old from Santiago de Cuba, invited her fellow citizens to choose who they believed should be Cuba’s next president, in a Facebook poll posted on Jan. 12. Within hours, the post went viral.
Respondents overwhelmingly favored U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the son of Cuban American immigrants.
A few hours later, State Security agents in Santiago de Cuba, the island’s second-largest city, summoned Lambert Ortega and ordered her to delete the poll.

Trade With Cuba Collapses as Trump Pressures Regime
VIDEO
Thursday, 19 March 2026 06:14 PM EDT
The Cuban Communist Party has shown an astonishing resilience over six decades in power.
Whether it's the United States' trade embargo to counter Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution or the widespread starvation of the "special period" that followed the breakup of its Cold War patron, the Soviet Union, both U.S. hostilities and calamities of its own making have proven no match for the country's leadership.
But perhaps none of those crises pose as grave a threat as the one triggered by an all-but-declared naval siege by the Trump administration as it seeks to force regime change in the wake of its successful ousting of Cuba's longtime ally, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
Even as he fights a war with Iran, President Donald Trump this week said he believes he'll have "the honor of taking Cuba" soon. While it wasn't clear exactly what he meant, the U.S. is looking for President Miguel Diaz-Canel to leave power as part of ongoing talks with Havana that could avert some kind of U.S. military intervention.
Without declaring a formal blockade, Trump and his administration have already crippled trade with the island.

COMMENTARY_ Trump’s ‘Made in America’ order restores truth in labeling ( Peter Navarro - THE WASHINGTON TIMES)
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Trump’s ‘Made in America’ order restores truth in labeling
Stop letting foreign firms deceive U.S. consumers
Made in America Illustration by Greg Groesch/The Washington Times more >
By Peter Navarro - Thursday, March 19, 2026
OPINION:
President Trump’s latest “Made in America” executive order takes direct aim at a global shell game in which foreign producers and multinational firms disguise, stretch and outright misrepresent where their products come from.
This practice ranges from lightly processed imports relabeled as “American Made” to marketing campaigns deliberately crafted to imply domestic production where little exists. This abuse of ambiguity has gone on far too long.
Americans want to buy American. They know, just as Mr. Trump does, that domestic production means better jobs, stronger supply chains and a defense industrial base we can rely on in a crisis. That choice works only if the information is honest.
Right now, too often, it isn’t.
Let’s be precise about the deception, starting with labeling. Under federal standards, an unqualified “Made in USA” claim is supposed to mean a product is “all or virtually all” made here, but companies have learned to work the edges.
They use phrases such as “assembled in USA,” “Designed in America” or “Manufactured in the USA with global materials.” This language sounds patriotic but often masks the reality that key components, and sometimes most of the value, come from overseas.
Then there’s the production side. A product can be largely manufactured abroad, shipped into the U.S. or a partner country, undergo minimal finishing — such as packaging, simple assembly or cosmetic modification — and emerge with branding that strongly suggests domestic origin.
In some sectors, the domestic contribution is only a small fraction of total value, falling well short of the “substantial transformation” required under U.S. law, while the marketing suggests exactly the opposite.

Universities Abandon Truth and Lose Their Way

The University of Notre Dame generated plenty of headlines recently — most of them critical — when it named political science professor Susan Ostermann to lead the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies in the Keough School of Global Affairs.
While no one challenged Ostermann's scholarly bona fides, Catholics around the country were profoundly distressed by the announcement, given Ostermann's zealous advocacy for abortion, her role in the eugenicist Population Council, and her characterization of anti-abortion activists as misogynists, racists and white supremacists.
A number of American bishops spoke out against the appointment, including Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades, who leads the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, which includes Notre Dame.
And while the university consistently expressed its support for Ostermann, she eventually withdrew from the position, which was to have started this coming summer.
Last week, the head of Notre Dame's de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture, Jennifer Newsome Martin, published a thoughtful essay on the matter in Public Discourse. In that essay, titled "How Catholic Should a Catholic Institution Be?"
Newsome Martin references the writings of the late Alasdair MacIntyre (a de Nicola Center Senior Distinguished Research Fellow until his death last year) who argued that today's research universities "do not share any clear agreement on what constitutes rational inquiry," and will therefore "simply tolerate 'limitless disagreement.'"
Martin agrees with MacIntyre that at Catholic institutions like Notre Dame, "there are foundational points that 'by their very nature cannot accept the indifference presupposed by such tolerance; standpoints which invite rejection rather than toleration.'"
Martin states that among those foundational points is the magisterium of the Catholic Church that "recognizes and upholds the sanctity of human life from conception until natural death."
Policies that articulate the university's commitment to the teachings of the Church must be reflected by its decisions.
"These commitments," Martin concludes, "cannot be affirmed in the abstract while being undermined in the concrete."
Martin's admonitions for a Catholic university are clear.
But what of those institutions of higher education that are not religiously affiliated?
Where can they find common ground?
The most important point of common ground between both should be the recognition, pursuit and dissemination of truth.
In that vein, a recent trend is worth noting.

Trump Must Win the Shadow War Against Him

The joint American-Israeli military operation against the Iranian regime is now three weeks old, but there is another war — a more silent one — raging here on the home front.
President Donald Trump's second administration is facing a highly coordinated shadow war — one waged both by some influential outside voices on the right and, more dangerously, by their subversive allies within Trump's very own government.
If this campaign is not confronted and decisively defeated, the result will be calamitous: a second Trump term that drifts into lame-duck status not due to a voter backlash but because of an insurrection from within.
What this column has previously referred to as "Operation Divide MAGA" has reached fever pitch. And Trump, to his great credit, has begun to settle all the MAGA family business. But an even more concerted effort is needed to clean out the Augean Stables once and for all.
First, let's take a step back.
In any healthy political coalition or movement, debate is inevitable and often desirable.
But what we have seen from certain high-profile podcasters, such as Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, is nothing less than a full-scale assault on Trump and his agenda.
These provocateurs first outed themselves last summer, when they all but accused Trump of covering up a global (Mossad-tied?) pedophile ring over his Justice Department's handling of the Epstein files.
But above all, the podcasters' subversion has focused on foreign policy — most recently, on Iran and Operation Epic Fury.
Trump is a conservative nationalist.
His foreign policy is rooted in confidence and "peace through strength"-style deterrence.
Yet Carlson, Kelly and their fellow travelers have blasted the Iran conflict as everything from "evil" (Carlson) to "clearly Israel's war" (Kelly).
The not-so-dynamic duo is thus accusing the man they quite literally campaigned for in 2024 of engaging in heinous acts and of being the unwitting dupe of a foreign government.
True, Carlson and Kelly do not actually speak for the MAGA base.
A brand-new poll from J.L. Partners shows that 83% of Republican voters support Epic Fury. Moreover, Republicans agree with Trump over Carlson and Kelly on foreign policy by a whopping 84%-6% margin.
But still, their platforms are enormous.
When Carlson, Kelly and their allies consistently excoriate the leading priorities of the administration they purport to support, the effect is Republican voter confusion, resentment, and depression as we head toward November in a midterm election year.
Even worse, the shadow war subversives are not merely shouting into their microphones from the rafters.
They have allies inside the administration, with whom they are all but assuredly coordinating, engaging in outright sabotage against the one man — the president of the United States — who was actually elected to wield the "executive power" of the federal government and serve as commander in chief.
The most alarming developments are emerging from within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.
A former Democratic Hawaii congresswoman with a pro-Moscow slant once seen as a heterodox ally, Gabbard now oversees an environment that increasingly bears the markings of an anti-MAGA coup.
Take Gabbard's recent rehiring of Dan Caldwell.
Dismissed last year by his (former longtime friend) Secretary of War Pete Hegseth amid allegations of leaking, Caldwell is now back in a highly sensitive role.
Leaks of this nature are not bureaucratic slip-ups; they are direct assaults on national security and the integrity of the constitutional chain of command.
It's difficult to interpret the isolationist-leaning Gabbard's move as anything other than a direct shot across the bow at Hegseth — and, by extension, the boss Hegseth has so passionately defended since Epic Fury began, Trump.
Consider also Joe Kent, who until recently served under Gabbard as director of the National Counterterrorism Center. Kent very recently resigned in flamboyant fashion, rationalizing his stunt with hyper-conspiratorial, antisemitic rhetoric better suited for a Code Pink rally than government letterhead.
Within hours after tendering his resignation, Kent announced he would be joining -- who else? — Carlson to tell his story.
An alleged serial leaker, Kent is now under FBI investigation for spilling national security secrets. Unsurprisingly, Iranian regime propaganda television gobbled up the interview and regurgitated it for an impressionable English-speaking audience.
That Kent came to Carlson's platform to try to get ahead of the FBI investigation revelation is not coincidence.
It's all orchestrated.
After being fired by Hegseth last year, Caldwell similarly ran to Carlson to tell his side of the story. Moreover, one of Caldwell's higher-ranking colleagues at ODNI, Will Ruger, shares Caldwell's professional background in the isolationist Koch network. Surprise!
The White House Presidential Personnel Office, formerly directed by ex-Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., staffer Sergio Gor (since shipped halfway around the world to India), has allowed in individuals across the defense, intelligence and national security spaces that are functionally anti-MAGA.
Perhaps this was done for self-serving reasons.
Perhaps Gor and PPO were under the understanding that MAGA is something other than what the boss says it is. Frankly, it doesn't really matter.
Because the boss has now spoken.
He's cast Carlson and Kelly out of MAGA in emphatic fashion. And after Kent's obnoxious resignation stunt, Trump said of those (like Kent) who do not believe Iran is a threat to the United States, "We don't want those people."
Translation: Get out. The message couldn't possibly be clearer.
But is Trump's PPO listening?
Is Gabbard's ODNI fully in line?
Gabbard, in U.S. Senate testimony this week, couldn't bring herself to agree with her boss's assessment that Iran posed an "imminent threat" prior to the launch of Epic Fury.
It's time for the president to team up with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and other arch-loyalists, such as Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and clean house.
The internal anti-MAGA sabotage must be ended, and the external anti-MAGA sabotage must be combated.
The success of the remainder of Trump's second term hangs in the balance.

This is a lightly edited transcript of a segment of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” podcast from Daily Signal.
What is it with the fickle Europeans? I know that they have different interests than ours, but we’re both Western entities. You’d think that we’d be more collaborative on the effort to disarm and denuclearize Iran. But a lot of strange things are happening.
The traditional use of the Diego Garcia critical airbase in the Indian Ocean, run by the British, but often leased to us and allowed us to have a very valuable base for our long-range bombers. The British initially refused to allow us to use it. And then, only under conditions that it would be used for defensive purposes.
I don’t know what that means. But I think they forgot the 1982 Falklands War. They were in big trouble going all the way across the world to attack a country in ...

This is a lightly edited transcript of a segment of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” podcast from Daily Signal.
What is it with the fickle Europeans? I know that they have different interests than ours, but we’re both Western entities. You’d think that we’d be more collaborative on the effort to disarm and denuclearize Iran. But a lot of strange things are happening.
The traditional use of the Diego Garcia critical airbase in the Indian Ocean, run by the British, but often leased to us and allowed us to have a very valuable base for our long-range bombers. The British initially refused to allow us to use it. And then, only under conditions that it would be used for defensive purposes.
I don’t know what that means. But I think they forgot the 1982 Falklands War. They were in big trouble going all the way across the world to attack a country in ...

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the Chinese regime is a threat to both Canada and the United States, and the two countries should “look at the big picture” instead of treating each other as rivals.
Poilievre made his comments during a speech on Canada-U.S. relations at the Foreign Policy Association in New York on March 19.
The Tory leader noted that the West erred in allowing the Chinese communist regime to “sneak up on us” shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
“Beijing’s communist regime was able to pursue economic enrichment without the corresponding political liberalization that the West had expected. And then one day, the West woke up, and we found that much of our industrial cart lands had been hollowed out,” Poilievre said.

OPINION
Beijing’s Ballyhooed Digital Yuan Has Disappointed, at Least so Far
A slow start for China’s digital yuan may not spell doom for Beijing’s monetary ambitions, but it does point to significant difficulties.

Commentary
The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) was one of the world’s first central banks to push a digital currency. The initial launch dates back to September 2020. Other central banks, most notably the Federal Reserve in the United States and the European Union’s European Central Bank, have talked about launching a digital dollar and a digital euro, respectively, but have not yet issued one.
Beijing has taken the lead because it has two ambitions not shared by these and other central banks—one, an intense desire for domestic surveillance of its population; and two, the goal of using the yuan to challenge the dollar’s supreme role as the world’s global currency. The slow take-up of the digital yuan suggests that Beijing will have to wait a long time to fulfil its ambitions, if it ever can.

Trump’s historic opportunity with Cuba
By Washington Examiner
March 19, 2026 5:00 am
Communist Cuba has been a thorn in America’s side for nearly 70 years. Every president since Dwight Eisenhower has had to deal with a hostile regime less than 90 miles from the United States. But recent events have presented President Donald Trump with a historic opportunity, and the president should seize it.
The Cuban regime, nominally headed by President Manuel Diaz-Canel but in fact controlled by an oppressive security apparatus, is tottering. Now is the time for the Trump administration to increase diplomatic pressure so that a threat close to our shores can swiftly arrive in its proper place on the ash heap of history.
