Let me talk about specifically what those conditions are. In section 230 203 commonsense upon making determination under section c3, democratic elected government in cuba is in power. The President Shall upon determining the democratic elected government of cuba in power submit that to determination to the appropriate congressional committees. Let me first ask. As the president made a determination that a democratically elected government in cuba is now in our . The president has not taken actions under those aspects of the libertat act. So he is not invoked that part working out the libertat act to take the actions hes taken. He simply doesnt feel like he has to refer to the libertat act . What is he doing it is not basically lifting the embargo . What is this . I think the president has made very good that congress is the only body that can lift the embargo, and as he said in his state of the Union Message he called on congress to do so. Therefore, these make clear that you have the
Certainly we have good examples, colombia, because of courageous leadership. Im not seeing a lot of democracy flourishing in venezuela or cuba, from that standpoint. Can you help me out in terms of what youre talking about . Theres no doubt that democracys not flourishing in cuba. And its part of the president s effort to pursue a new approach to see what more we can do to help the cuban people begin their own political opening. As we look back over the last several decades, whats important to remember and acknowledge about our hemisphere is this was a region that was largely ruled by authoritarian government, some military, some not, but which has found through its commitment to human rights and its ability to organize and use Interamerican Solutions like the Interamerican Human Rights Court and the Interamerican Court of human rights to develop Civil Societies around human rights issues and use that to build democracy. Whether its chile in the 1980s, our work in Central America to fa
What actually happens when you have a small startup. The conversation around the board table every single month is about the burn rate and that is about not hiring too many people because youll run out of runway before you get the product built and Revenue Generating profit. So, theres never a conversation about it would be really good if we could employ a few more people. Thats only a consequence of achieving that hyper growth sometimes, once anyway great while. Ive heard someone say theres a kernel of truthd about this ive heard people say the u. S. Has the very best incentives, comparatively speaking, until recent things like patent boxes and the rest of the world great incentives to do the research in the United States. We can weak incentives of employment and very weak incentives of profits. All the incentive structure in our tax law and a whole bunch of other thing sincere yes yes, yes, locate around great universities and start the google, apples, everything there. Dont worry to
Loma prieta 1960 in San Francisco. The north ridge quake. But theres some that while not as powerful cause damage and injuries. But dont come to mind as readily. One of those was in colinga back in 1983. The quake hit the area on may second 1983. It did 10 million in damage and injured 94 people. The day after the quake ktvus Randy Shandobil visited colinga to see how the city was dealing. Reporter most businesses are damaged beyond repair. The burped out colinga inn kept cool with water. Debris cleared from the streets with bulldozers. A wall simply fell away. A table and chairs inches away from oblivion. The downtown buildings and fires kept rescue workers so busy last night that it wasnt until today that they saw the damage. Scores of houses are ruined. Most gas leaks were capped today but water spewed from broken pipes everywhere. Tents are also everywhere as hundreds of people are camping out in front of their homes. They are afraid to go back inside. It started going this way and
Republic. A federal judge tonight with witherring commentary about the department of justice judge saying i dont like the fact youve got somebody at the top basically trying to dictate whether somebody should be prosecuted. I think its a Banana Republic when we go down that road. Now, this federal judge, judge walton, by the way, is a republican nominated senior judge. Clearly slamming the president of the United States in this particular case over trumps insistence that the department of justice investigate Andrew Mccabe. Now, tonight the department of justice is dropping that probe, but bill barr is giving trump yet another huge present.

This reexamination is surely muse to music to the bosss ears. They ought to be ashamed of themselves, what they did to general flynn. What they did to general flynn is unfair in my op
