Trumps Attempt Of Murder On Florida's Tourism Trade.
Burger King Trump had issued his Royal Orders to destroy the Travel Industry. This affects Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, and California directly be banning trips to countries that ain't bowing down to His Majesty. I guess Miguel Díaz-Canel. who is the president of Cuba, won't allow Trump to build a Trump Hotel Casino and Golf Course in Cuba. Therefore, Cuba will become a FAKE country and there will not be any FAKE visits to this Fake place. Meanwhile, those who still have relatives living in Cuba will not be able to have a one on one meeting or reunion with their Fake Relatives.
New Rules on American Travel to Cuba Include Cruise Ban
The Treasury Department said it would crack down on the most popular ways for Americans to visit the island.
The Trump administration on Tuesday imposed new restrictions on Americans going to Cuba, banning the most common way Americans travel to the island.
Beginning on Wednesday, the United States will not permit group educational and cultural trips known as “people to people” trips to the island unless they were booked before June 5, the Treasury Department said in a statement. Nor will it allow cruises, private yachts or fishing vessels to stop in Cuba. Group people-to-people trips have been used by thousands of American visitors.
The move left tour companies and cruise lines assessing the impact and how they might have to modify their operations in Cuba.
Cruises have become the most popular way for Americans to travel to Cuba since 2016, when President Obama reopened relations with the island. This year, between Jan. 1 and April 30, 142,721 Americans went to Cuba on cruises, compared to the 114,832 who traveled there by plane. These numbers do not include Cuban-born Americans visiting family.
“Cuba continues to play a destabilizing role in the Western Hemisphere, providing a communist foothold in the region and propping up U.S. adversaries in places like Venezuela and Nicaragua by fomenting instability, undermining the rule of law, and suppressing democratic processes,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement on Tuesday explaining the administration’s move.
Tuesday’s announcement came nearly two months after John Bolton, the president’s national security adviser, said the Treasury Department would crack down on what it called “veiled tourism” and tour operators were not surprised to hear about the changes. But Tom Popper, president of the tour company Insight Cuba called the cruise ban, in particular, “devastating to the travel industry and the Cuban people.
”The federal government has long restricted travel to Cuba, with the rules changing from one presidential administration to the next. Under the changes introduced by the Obama administration, Americans in 2016 were able visit either in groups or individually, as long as they fell into one of 12 categories, including “people-to-people” visits and “support for the Cuban people” trips, the two most popular.
Under “support for the Cuban people” category, individuals can travel to Cuba, but they must have an itinerary filled with meetings and visits with local business owners, artists or others. They must plan on participating in local activities and staying in a private home, instead of a hotel.
“You have to have a full schedule of activities like going to meet with one community project and then another,” Mr. Popper said. “Going to hang out at the beach in the afternoon won’t cut it.”
Mr. Popper said his company is changing its tours from “people-to-people” to “support for the Cuban people,” a shift other tour providers will likely make.
“As we’ve done in years past — we’ve been providing Cuban travel for five presidents now — we’ll change what we do to remain legal, remain compliant and show Americans an amazing side of Cuba,” Mr. Popper said.
ViaHero, an online platform that connects travelers with locals to plan personalized trips, said the new regulations could help bolster business for tour providers who already give “support to the Cuban people” tours and for local businesses.
“We’ve been operating in the ‘support for the Cuban people’ category for three years and don’t have to make changes to our operations,” said Greg Buzulencia, C.E.O. of ViaHero. “And more people will use this category, which should help locals by making people book casa particulares.” Those are small-scale lodgings that are run by individuals, not the Cuban government. Many of them are listed on Airbnb and other online booking platforms.
Major cruise lines like Carnival and Royal Caribbean operate trips to Cuba. They did not respond to requests for comment. But Pedro Freyre, a lawyer who represents cruise lines that travel to Cuba, said that, “If you have a cruise booked for Thursday, you should check with the cruise line; you might not be able to go.” He noted that people who planned to fly and who had booked before June 5 would be allowed to go, even if they fell into the “people-to-people” category.
JetBlue, American Airlines and Southwest are some of the largest American carriers with flights to Cuba. JetBlue and American, as well as United, said they were reviewing the order.
Frank Del Rio, the president and chief executive of Norwegian Cruise Lines Holdings, summed up the Cuba situation in an earnings call last month, as reported by Seatrade Cruise News. When it came to Cuba cruises, “It’s business as usual until it’s not," Mr. Del Rio said.
This is why Florida needs jobs that are not related to the Tourist industry and pay higher then the tourist industry pay. All wages are regulated by Walt Disney World and Resorts. In 2021, according to the "Contract", Disney is suppose to increase the Wage. The new contract would gradually raise the minimum pay in $1 increments. By September of 2019, the starting wage will reach $13 an hour, followed by $14 in October 2020 and $15 in October 2021, the Service Trades Council Union said in a statement. Those who make more than $10 an hour will receive at least $4.75 in raises by October 2021, the statement said.
But with the Trump tariffs on China and Mexico food, gifts, and other items sold in shops will increase and their will be less sales and more people will be forced to leave (Disney calls it a layoff) with the excuse of budget cuts . Disney has raised their tickets, raised their price in hotels, raised their price in parking, and raised their prices in food and they make Billions per day. During the Budget Cuts, CEO Bob Iger received a $65 million pay package.
The only people who will make money on these tariff cuts will be big corporations and the Republican party supports big corporations, not the average person. We are heading into a DEPRESSION!

Oklahoma Lawmaker: Men Must Approve Abortion; Women Are ‘Hosts’
2017 Lawmakers mostly "Good Christian Jew Hating Nazis Males" came out of the closets and went nuts. This happened because of Trump's Hitler Like speeches and the MAGA Hats. Since when did taking the rights away from women and belittling the make this society , this America Great? Next step will be taking away the vote from women. Taking away the right to own property. Taking away the divorce without permission. These Law Makers are taking away the rights for women to live. Abortions are going to happen regardless of the laws.
Oklahoma Lawmaker: Men Must Approve Abortion; Women Are ‘Hosts’
FEBRUARY 13, 2017 BY MICHAEL STONE
New law would require man’s approval for partner’s abortion because women are only “hosts,” and pregnant women’s bodies are not their own.
Oklahoma state legislator Rep. Justin Humphrey is sponsoring a draconian bill, HB 1441, that would require a woman to get written permission from her sexual partner if she wants to have an abortion.
The Intercept reports:
The legislation would require a woman seeking an abortion first to obtain written permission from her sexual partner. It would also require her to provide his name to her doctor and would forestall the procedure if the man wanted the opportunity to challenge paternity.
Attempting to justify the despicable legislation Rep. Humphrey told The Intercept that women have no right to bodily autonomy once they are pregnant because they are merely “hosts”:
I understand that they feel like that is their body. I feel like it is a separate — what I call them is, is you’re a ‘host.’ And you know when you enter into a relationship you’re going to be that host and so, you know, if you pre-know that then take all precautions and don’t get pregnant.
Rep. Humphrey continued:
So that’s where I’m at. I’m like, hey, your body is your body and be responsible with it. But after you’re irresponsible then don’t claim, well, I can just go and do this with another body, when you’re the host and you invited that in.
Rep. Humphrey also said his intent behind the legislation was to let men have a say, declaring:
I believe one of the breakdowns in our society is that we have excluded the man out of all of these types of decisions.
Commenting on the despicable legislation, Amanda Allen, senior state legislative counsel for the Center for Reproductive Rights, said:
I would say it’s certainly a new low for Oklahoma. This is, to my mind, a fruitless effort to shame and stigmatize women who are seeking abortion care and it is completely and unequivocally unconstitutional.
Allen is right, if passed the law would certainly be unconstitutional. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down a similar provision in 1992.
She is also right to note that the legislation is ultimately a mean-spirited attempt to shame and stigmatize women who are seeking an abortion.
Bottom line: For Rep. Justin Humphrey, and conservatives like him, pregnant women’s bodies are not their own: Women are merely “hosts” – and the man must give his approval for abortion to take place.

Six GOP House Members Who Need to Resign for Anti-Semitis
I dont like Ilhan Omar but Six GOP House Members Who Need to Resign for Anti-Semitism Before Ilhan Omar. They are Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, Paul Gosar, Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise, and Steve King.
McCarthy who took to Twitter in October 2018 to accuse three Jewish billionaires — George Soros, Tom Steyer, and Michael Bloomberg — of trying to “buy” the midterms. He posted his tweet just a day after Soros received a pipe bomb at his home in New York.
Steyer called the tweet “straight-up anti-Semitic.” McCarthy, though, continues to refuse to apologize for it, saying he did nothing wrong. So why did he delete it? And why isn’t Trump calling on him to resign from Congress too?
2002, Scalise, then a Louisiana state representative, attended and spoke at a convention of the white supremacist European American Unity and Rights Organization, a group founded by David Duke. You remember Duke, right? The Holocaust-denying former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan who has been described by the Anti-Defamation League as “perhaps America’s most well-known racist and anti-Semite.”
Scalise later said he “regretted” — but did not technically apologize for — attending the EURO event. When Louisiana-based political reporter Stephanie Grace first met Scalise, he likened himself to Duke. Grace recalled, “He told me he was like David Duke without the baggage.”
Why is Scalise still in Congress?
Rep. Louie Gohmert represents Texas’s 1st Congressional District and is a darling of the tea party.
In December, he appeared on the Fox Business channel to discuss Google, but then decided to pivot and attack — yep, you guessed it — the right’s favorite Jewish billionaire.“George Soros is supposed to be Jewish, but you wouldn’t know it from the damage he’s inflicted on Israel,” Gohmert said. “And the fact that he turned on fellow Jews and helped take the property that they owned. It’s the same kind of thing.”
This ludicrous and anti-Semitic claim that Soros helped “take the property” of fellow Jews during World War II has been repeatedly and thoroughly debunked. Soros, for the record, was 14 years old at the end of the war.
“Congressman Louie Gohmert for some reason went out of his way to bring up George Soros and made unsubstantiated and false allegations against him,” host Stuart Varney later announced, live on air. “I want to make clear those views are not shared by me, this program, or anyone at Fox Business.” How anti-Semitic and unhinged do you have to be for a Fox host to have to loudly disown you?
And why is Gohmert still a member of Congress?
Rep. Matt Gaetz, who was elected to the House of Representatives from Florida’s 1st Congressional District in 2016, as “the most despicable and shameless member of the United States Congress.”
You want anti-Semitism? Where to begin with Gaetz? He invited the notorious Holocaust denier Chuck Johnson* to be his guest at the State of the Union and later defended Johnson: “He’s not a Holocaust denier; he’s not a white supremacist. Those are unfortunate characterizations of him.”
He has appeared on Alex Jones’s “Infowars” show. Jones has said that “it’s not that Jews are bad, it’s just they are the head of the Jewish mafia in the United States. They run Uber, they run the health care, they’re going to scam you, they’re going to hurt you.”
He suggested the caravan of migrants that set out from Central America in October 2018 was funded by George Soros, who might be “giving cash 2 women & children 2 join the caravan & storm the US border.”
Trump has called Gaetz “one of the finest and most talented people in Congress.” Why hasn’t he called on the Florida representative to resign over anti-Semitism?
King has a long history of white nationalism, Islamophobia, and anti-Semitism that was ignored and overlooked by House Republicans — and a GOP presidential candidate! — for years. “Steve King Is A White Supremacist, And The GOP Doesn’t Care,” read a HuffPost headline in the summer of 2018.
Long before his racist remarks to the New York Times, King retweeted a neo-Nazi. He sat on a panel with white nationalists. He praised both the German and Austrian far right. According to the ADL, he even “denigrated the Jewish history of the Holocaust.”
Why is there a place for him in the United States Congress?
Rep. Paul Gosar, the Republican who represents Arizona’s 4th Congressional District, has claimed that the far-right rally held in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017 — at which marchers chanted “Jews will not replace us” — was “created by the left” and led by an “Obama sympathizer.” He has also suggested that Soros funded the event and falsely claimed that the Jewish billionaire “turned in his own people to the Nazis.”
In fact, Gosar is so brazen in his conspiratorial, anti-Jewish bigotry that his own family has felt the need to publicly denounce him. “We are aghast that Paul has sunk so low that he now spews the most despicable slander against an 87-year-old man without a shred of proof,” a letter signed by seven of his siblings said in October 2017. “It is extremely upsetting to have to call you out on this, Paul, but you’ve forced our hand with your deceit and anti-Semitic dog whistle.”
In October 2018, Gosar’s brother David went even further, describing the representative’s rhetoric as having “helped feed the anti-Semitism that just resulted in the murder of 11 people in a Jewish synagogue and an attempt on Mr. Soros’s life.”
When will Gosar be quitting the House?
Republicans don’t give a damn about anti-Semitism. They just don’t care. And we’ll know for sure that they do when they ask these six white Republican men to resign from Congress.
Just don’t hold your breath.

THE ISSUES
On the Issues
Are you going to sit there and do nothing? There has been a 40-year decline of our middle class and the growing gap between the very rich the 1 % and everyone else the 99%, or do we fight for a economic agenda that creates jobs, raises wages, protects the environment and provides health care for everyone. We need to remove the status of preexisting conditions from all Medical Insurance including Workers Compensations. We need to take on the enormous economic and political power of the billionaire class who are in office now, or do we continue to submit to their economic and political aristocracy
Issues
Income and Wealth
Tuition
Jobs
A Living Wage
Climate Control
Immigration
Racial Justice
Affordable Housing
Women's Rights
Aides and HIV Research
LGBT Rights and Equality
Protecting Our Native Americans
Caring for Our Veterans
Medicare
Social Security
Lower Prescription For All
Disability Rights
Remove Asset Securitization Charges From Electric , Gas and Water Bills because the companies made bad choices and make that a Federal Law
Recalled Medication should stay recalled and not placed back on the market, Nor should any foreign Pharmaceutical be allowed to make these drugs outside the country and hide carcinogenics in their medication such as Valsantan and Losartn.
The list goes on and on. We must protect We the People not them the Big Corporations and the beyond wealthy.
These are issues the Republicans have totally ignored.

Kavanaugh and the Babies in Congress
People are asking me about Kavanaugh and his alleged sexual issues. Personally I don't feel it is right that the media placed this on the news for people to judge him. According to our Constitution you are innocent until proven guilty. There was no police report, no sperm, no proof other then hearsay and her word against his.
The proper procedure for this is if someone has evidence against anyone in the house or Senate or even nominated for a high ranking position is to go to the FBI with your "proof" and have them investigate your allegations. None of this was done. What the news did and what Ford did was put it out there. This destroyed his children's lives and his family and it was done vindictively.
I found Dennis Ross a Republican who used his federal office as his campaign office and violated the Hatch Act but not one person in the Florida Republican Party took my side but called me a rat.
I decided since both major parties are so corrupt I changed parties and the Constitution party was glad that I changed parties and they are 100% behind me. They too are sick and tired of the acts of these adults in both parties who are acting like high school students and haven't grown up. Many people in both parties are feeling the same way.
As far as Kavanaugh is concerned, personally I don't want him as a Supreme Court Judge because he is extremely Right Wing and he may pass laws which will violate my Constitutional Rights and my freedom of religion. I think Trump should have looked for a middle of the road judge who can see both sides and make a ruling in that matter. Not use his religion for his laws.
If you are tired of this baby acting House and Senate it is time to throw out the trash and change parties. Join the fastest growing party in the USA and protect the Constitution. Join Florida's Constitution Party and TAKE BACK THE HILL and PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION.
