Today's news is focused on two big events: (1) all the candidates for president are speaking at AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobbying group; and (2) president Obama is in Cuba on a visit that has no ostensible purpose other than to show that he reopened relations with the Castro regime. Neither or these events contain much news.
Hillary Clinton is the only one who has spoken as of yet at AIPAC. She thundered that the security of Israel is non-negotiable. The audience applauded. Most likely the people in the audience wondered to themselves "who does she think she is fooling?" Hillary was probably thinking, "Are these people actually falling for this stuff?" Nevertheless, the charade went on. Tonight, Trump and Cruz and Kasich will speak. Some idiotic fools will stage a walk out when Trump speaks. No doubt, they think that the way to gain friends for Israel is to walk out on someone who could be the next president. If AIPAC is a lobbying group, its members surely don't understand how to lobby.
Before I move on to Havana, I must add that Bernie Sanders is not speaking at AIPAC. He does not want to annoy his supporters who are the most anti-Israel group in the country. That's right; the only Jewish candidate has the supporters who are most anti-Semitic. Go figure.
Meanwhile in Havana, Obama is busy meeting with Raul Castro multiple times. One would think that they actually had something to discuss, but in reality, they don't. My guess is that the two of them are playing cards. Let's hope that Obama doesn't lose Florida to Castro in a poker game. Since America doesn't win anymore according to Trump, that would be a fitting end to Obama's trip. I can see the speech in which Obama calls the loss of Florida a temporary setback. Then he would tell us that there are already so many Cubans in Florida that it won't be a big change for the residents of that state.
