✍️ by Wilfredo Domínguez The Cuban has landed! The Beginnings of the Cuban Colonization of Miami . It was 1959. The first wave of Cuban immigrants to Miami headed North towards Miami. It was the wealthy elite, of course. But, as conditions in Cuba rapidly deteriorated, the exodus lost its lineage. A growing number of everyday Cubans sought refuge, turning what once was a journey only afforded by the privileged ones into one of necessity. Escaping became the goal by any mean available. Once the rich and powerful were already here, Miami turned into a haven for those who were forced to ditch airlanes in favor of makeshift rafts, boats, and other non-first-class imaginative escape routes. The balseros were born. The rich plus these brave adventurers helped shape South Florida creating a lasting cultural and political impact. ...

written by   wilfredo dominguez www.wilfredo-dominguez.com Glorious trumpo-cuban patriotism. In a thousand years from today, the geniuses of the future will have a hard time trying to explain how it was impossible back in 2024 to convince a Communist and a Trumpist that water is wet. I hate Donald Trump. My aversion to everything Donald Trump represents is evident to anyone who knows me or glances at my Facebook wall . However, for those unfamiliar with the complexities of Cuban-American dynamics, my disdain for the former president and his ideology might seem puzzling, especially considering my Cuban heritage. Allow me to clarify for those who find themselves in this perplexing situation, as well as for my fellow Cubans who question why some among us embrace such a divisive figure and his dangerous ideol...

written by   wilfredo dominguez www.wilfredo-dominguez.com I was filthy rich in Cuba! -  What the...! How stupid can you be? Why in the world did you leave? -  Wow! That hurt! But, wait, don't get mad at me! I left, because in Cuba there's a dictatorship, children are starving, police would throw me in jail because I want democracy, they torture me and blah, blah, blah... Phew! Forget about that crap; I didn't leave because of that. Listen, seriously, I still don't know why I left, 'cause, damn it, in Cuba, you can get anything you want, for real. Look, let me ...

Americans are not more trumpist than Cubans. written by   wilfredo dominguez www.wilfredo-dominguez.com Dear Trump Loyalists: does the name Fidel Castro ring a bell? People overflowing with goodwill and faith in humankind, likely believe that Cubans leaving Cuba in search of freedom in Miami are the most ardent defenders of American democracy and, therefore, the most passionate foes of Donald Trump and his MAGA demagoguery . Sadly, they are dead wrong because common sense rarely prevails in politics and, if you find the above statement coherent, you, too, will be poignantly disappointed. A history of manipulation. At first glance, it may seem that Cubans could provide valuable insight into why figures like Trump and the MAGA movement pose significant risks to democracy, but such a belief is based on an overly simplistic view of the revolution led by Castro . Reality is far more complex and defies expectation...

A wall? Really? written by   wilfredo dominguez www.wilfredo-dominguez.com Hey, you, smitten kittens in love with the Crappy Wall of Trump , listen, the Great Wall of China was supposed to glorify the imperial, architectural, and military magnificence of the Chinese dynasties , but it really was good for nothing and never served any purpose. For one, it did not stop the Mongols , nor can it be seen from the Moon as some clunkers believe. However, Trump seems keen on building his own garden fence, and it's appalling how some flag-waving enthusiasts drool all over it. And, he convinces quite a few knuckleheads, for sure! Because Donald Trump is certainly a spoiled and arrogant billionaire like any other, but, he excels most mortal beings, with or without money, in an applied and highly sophisticated science: the scam. So, for Trump, using the Great Wall of China to defend his indefensible Crappy Wa...

For whatever it takes, Trump! written by   wilfredo dominguez www.wilfredo-dominguez.com Twenty years ago, it was all about mud and factory in Hialeah, and the Fonomemecos(1) were busy promoting Metro Piece of Sh*t. Those were the early days of the now extensively researched FHS ( fuck the homo sapiens ) era. One of those days, I met the Mambí (2), as they used to call him. Cheo , a family friend whom I was visiting in the eastern part of the City that Progresses , as Hialeah was also known back then, introduced us. The Mambí was a typical Cuban with a dangerous but rather boring miliciano (3) background that he tried to hide without much success and, of course, he was revolutionari-ly boastful to the extreme and an annoying loudmouth. For as long as I stayed at Cheo's that day, the Mambí didn't shut his mouth for a second; he couldn't stop complaining about how he was exploited...

Adventures in the Land of Miami Cyber Patriotism:  A Galactic Quest for the Trump-Adoring Cuban Clown. written by   wilfredo dominguez www.wilfredo-dominguez.com Once upon a time, I felt down and out. Deep inside, I knew that I hadn't done enough to support my fellow Trump-loving Cuban patriots , who didn't have a simple webpage to let the world know how much they miss Trump's lighthouse and spiritual guide, Fidel Castro . I looked everywhere! Nothing! Zero! Zilch! Nada! I couldn't find the tiniest space on the web devoted to advocating for the sweetest Trumpist wet dreams of my countrymen. The Trump-adoring Cuban diaspora vegetates in an unfathomable, pitch-black cyberworld of ignorance! One rainy day, I woke up to the sound of thunder and decided to right a wrong. I had to do something because, damn it, my fellow Cuban wannabe dictators deserve a chance to let the world know that they are fourth-class cl...
