“Have you even been to Pyongyang?”

[RNC Research @RNCResearch]

POCAN: You've never been to Cuba, I'm not taking your advice.

WALTZ: I hope that you wouldn't allow your visits to be used for Cuban regime propaganda.

POCAN: Marco Rubio has never been to Cuba, so many others who have strong opinions.

WALTZ: His entire family is from Cuba.

[Andrés Martínez-Fernández @AndresMartFern]

The go-to line for Cuba apologists. That they use it so consistently, despite it convincing no one, suggests the regime places it prominently in the talking points list they hand out to influential visitors. And wouldn’t you know it? Rep. Pocan was in Cuba earlier this month.

This State Department report corroborates what Heritage research has demonstrated for years: Marxists are colonizers of their own kind.

Since the 1960s, Cuba has functioned as a headquarters and training ground to impose communism across the West, especially on the United States, the crown jewel of Western civilization.

We had the privilege of hosting Colombia’s Foreign Minister-designate, @omarbula, at Heritage yesterday afternoon. We discussed the future of his country’s relationship with the United States and the broader Western Hemisphere under the incoming conservative leadership of President @ABDELAESPRIELLA. We are already in close communication with his team on policy work that will benefit both Colombia and the United States. As I told Mr. Bula Escobar, Heritage stands ready to assist the new administration in any way we can.

It was an honor to host Colombia’s incoming Foreign Minister @omarbula today @Heritage for a discussion on the future of U.S.-Colombia relations.

🇨🇴 The incoming administration of President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella is set to restore pro-security and pro-United States conservative leadership to the Republic of Colombia, setting the South American nation on the path to join a wave of new conservative leadership sweeping the Americas.

⛪ The Church is filling a critical gap that the Venezuelan government has failed to address, including meeting the basic needs of the Venezuelan people.

🔥 For years, it seemed that Venezuela was beyond saving.

Now, Senior Policy Analyst Andrés Martínez-Fernández says the country has a real opportunity to rebuild, thanks to pressure on the Maduro regime and sustained U.S. engagement.

🫓 The remains of the 2015 National Assembly announced that a joint agenda to strengthen institutions, the electoral system and to restore participation will begin on Aug. 1.

Marco Rubio reposted it.

Less than an hour later, Jorge Rodríguez confirmed it from the chavista side.

[Andrés Martínez-Fernández @AndresMartFern]

My latest piece in @RealClearWorld looks at the challenges and opportunities facing the U.S. in Peru, where China has spent years stealthily building up a stronghold of subversive influence. https://t.co/Vn5xSgR1Os

[Mike Gonzalez @Gundisalvus]

Happy to be on with Will Cain, explaining the failures of communism. Something @NYCMayor Mamdani doesn’t tell you.

[Kevin Roberts @KevinRobertsTX]

This report from @WilsonCBeaver and @RealBobPeters is objectively one of the most important reads for anyone working on NATO policy. The future success of NATO depends on Europe taking primary responsibility for its own defense. That shift would allow the United States to focus its strength on deterring China while enabling Europe to better deter Russia. A self-reliant Europe will make the alliance stronger and more sustainable for the long term.

During his 4th of July speech, President Trump has mentioned Cuba, Venezuela, and Panama. He recognizes that U.S. history and destiny are inextricable from that of our hemisphere.

I realize this may be a foreign concept to you but “my country” is the United States of America. That’s whose interests I concern myself with. And no, I’m not an advocate for regime change in Florida, Puerto Rico or New Jersey.

[Benjamin Neoconzález Gusanović @patriayzendegi]

@EWErickson Latinos like this are the worst hypocrites. "Ignore all the Iranians and Jews; they're subversive and want to drag you into endless wars. Regime-change MY country."

[Andrés Martínez-Fernández @AndresMartFern]

@markyzaguirre @EWErickson Sohrab Ahmari worked for years as a leading voice at Commentary Magazine. Should we also assume their staff secretively hold all of his views?

[Andrés Martínez-Fernández @AndresMartFern]

@EWErickson Your conspiracy theory completely falls apart the moment it faces light scrutiny. But hey, I guess it’s easier to just quote tweet someone and claim they are saying the opposite of what they wrote. This is beneath you.

[Andrés Martínez-Fernández @AndresMartFern]

@EWErickson Who is they, Eric? I said your efforts to intuit secretive schemes of the Trump Admin. and VP are equivalent to online fan fiction. And if the VP is secretively leading this “retreat”, why has he made numerous trips to Europe and the Middle East and none to Latin America?

[Andrés Martínez-Fernández @AndresMartFern]

This take is worthy of a feverish fan fiction blog. And the so-called “retreat” to our own hemisphere is actually reversing the DC establishment’s retreat away from our own hemisphere decades ago, which cost hundreds of thousands of American lives, US border sovereignty and more

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

There is a coherent worldview behind the Vice President’s foreign policy, and that is exactly the problem. J.D. Vance does not stumble into the outcomes he produces. He believes in them. He sees a tripartite world with America secured in its own hemisphere, Russia dominant across Europe, and China supreme in Asia. He appears willing to trade away seventy years of American primacy to build it. The retreat is the design.
