A Good Week For Tyrants 

Castro is crowing in Cuba. The mullahs are merry in Tehran. Kim Jong-un is kicking it up in North Korea. 

Saturday, Cuban President Raul Castro delivered an hour-long victory speech before the Cuban National Assembly. The communist spies released by Obama were given a hero's welcome. A gloating Castro declared, "Now we've really won the war." 

Obama's Meaningless Response 

Proving that appeasement never works, the North Korean hackers are now making additional demands of Sony. According to CNN, Sony executives received a new threat last night stating:
 

"It's very wise that you have made the decision to cancel the release of The Interview. . . . Now we want you [to] never let the movie [be] released, distributed or leaked in any form . . . And we want everything related to the movie, including its trailers . . . down from any website hosting them immediately."

Obama Coddles Castro 

Today at the White House, amid great fanfare, President Obama announced a new policy toward Cuba. But it is nothing more than the same old left-wing appeasement.

Obama declared that America's foreign policy toward Cuba -- instituted by John F. Kennedy and carried out by subsequent Democratic and Republican administrations -- was "outdated." The president said, "We cannot keep doing the same thing and expect a different result."

Radical Left Threatens Police 

There were major demonstrations again this weekend in cities across the country protesting police brutality and racism. In Washington, D.C., thousands marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in a protest organized by Al Sharpton, featuring family members of Michael Brown, Eric Garner and others who died in altercations with police. 

The vast majority of marchers in most cities were peaceful. But a significant contingent of left-wing radicals once again hijacked the protests to push for an extreme agenda.
