PJ Media: D.C. Mayor Painted 'Black Lives Matter' on the Streets, But She Erased 'Cuba Libre'
Last year, Mayor Muriel Bowser (D-Washington, D.C.) directed her taxpayer-funded staff to paint “Black Lives Matter” in all caps along 16th Street N.W. near the White House. Yet when activists painted “CUBA LIBRE” on the same street in front of the Cuban Embassy last Friday, Bowser’s staff erased the message.

WNU Editor: I have been asking this same question since the 1980s. Living in the Soviet Union in the 1980s I knew President Reagan's policies and language towards the Warsaw Bloc and the Soviet Union were the right ones to help in the push for change and reforms. That is why I could never understand why there was so much opposition to it in the U.S. from Democrats and the media. Or at least that is the version that I got from the Soviet press.
Years later. Immigrating to the West and starting a life in Canada. I did my research and learned that the Soviet press was right. There was a great deal of opposition at the time to President Reagan's approach towards the Soviet Union.
So why was that the case then? And why is it now?
My father answered that question a few years ago.
Born in the Soviet Union and being someone who experienced first hand all the strife and history of the time, and then coming to Canada to live the remainder of his life. My father made the following observation before he passed and one that has always stuck in my mind.
He told me .... "there are far far far more Communists and Socialists in the U.S. and Canada than there ever was in the former Soviet Union".
