Cubans Celebrate Indictment of Communist Dictator Raúl Castro
Members of the Cuban diaspora jubilantly celebrated Wednesday’s indictment of nonagenarian communist dictator Raúl Castro over his role in the killing of four Americans in February 1996.
Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche, speaking alongside several others at the Freedom Tower in Miami, Florida, announced that Castro had been indicted alongside five other Cuban nationals by the southern district of Florida for their alleged role in the murder of Cuban Americans Carlos Costa, Armando Alejandre, Mario de la Peña, and Pablo Morales. The four men were members of Brothers to the Rescue, a Miami-based anti-communist charity organization that conducted humanitarian rescue operations, saving the lives of Cubans fleeing from communism who found themselves adrift at sea throughout the 1990s.
The 94-year-old communist dictator and the other co-defendants face charges of conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, as well as other charges including destruction of aircraft and four individual counts of murder.
Cubans living in the United States were eagerly awaiting Castro’s indictment for years. Their expectations surged last week after reports indicated that the communist dictator would be indicted for the murder of the four Brothers to the Rescue members in 1996 — and culminated with cheers and applause from Cubans gathered outside the Freedom Tower. Some of the Cubans gathered chanted, “USA! USA!” and “Down with the dictatorship!” and called for the release of all political prisoners in Cuba.

Rubio: Odds of Negotiated Cuba Agreement ‘Not High’
The likelihood of a negotiated, peaceful agreement between the United States and Cuba is not high at the moment, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Thursday as Washington steps up its pressure campaign against the island’s communist government.
Rubio said the United States always prefers a negotiated settlement.
“That remains our preference with Cuba,” he told reporters. “I’m just being honest with you, you know, the likelihood of that happening, given who we’re dealing with right now, is not high. But if they have a change of heart, you know, we’re here. And in the meantime, we’ll keep doing what we need to do.”…
Cuba has accepted the U.S. offer of $100 million in humanitarian aid, Rubio said.

Trump Calls to Make Daylight Saving Time ‘Permanent’
President Donald Trump called to make daylight saving time permanent in the United States as the Energy and Commerce Committee vote on the Sunshine Protection Act.
The president issued his call from his Truth Social account on Thursday.
“Big Vote today (48-1!) in the Energy and Commerce Committee on a Bill including The Sunshine Protection Act, which will be making Daylight Saving Time Permanent! This is so important in that Hundreds of Millions of Dollars are spent every year by people, Cities, and States, being forced to change their Clocks,” he wrote.
“Many of these Clocks are located in Towers, and the cost of renting, or using, Heavy Equipment to do this twice a year is prohibitive! The House will be attaching The Sunshine Protection Act to ‘The Highway Bill,’” he continued.
The president further pledged that he will be working “very hard to see The Sunshine Protection Act signed into Law,” adding that people will stop worrying about the clock twice a year.
“It will also be a very nice WIN for the Republican Party. Take it! We are going with the far more popular alternative, Saving Daylight, which gives you a longer, brighter Day — And who can be against that — This is an easy one!” he concluded.

European Author Of Banned Book: ‘It Is Christianity They Are Trying To Censor by Joy Pullmann
European authorities are not only banning Christians from writing about the Bible, but trying to keep the world unaware they have done so.
A Protestant bishop and pastor’s wife will appeal to the European Court of Human Rights the Finnish Supreme Court’s recent ban on their speech affirming what the Bible says about human sexuality. The appeal could take years amid escalating Soviet-like restrictions on free speech and religious expression across the continent that extend to Americans under European internet censorship.
In its March decision, Finland’s Supreme Court tried to dodge the reality that its 3-2 conviction of Bishop Juhana Pohjola and Member of Parliament Paivi Rasanen criminalizes speech stating Christian theology about sex. It did acquit Rasanen of a charge for posting a Bible verse on X, she noted in an in-person exclusive interview with The Federalist Saturday. But then it convicted her and Pohjola under Finland’s “hate crimes” laws for writing and publishing a book discussing the central Christian teachings that men and women are different and sexually complementary. This is also the position of orthodox Muslims and Jews, and global majorities of Buddhism and Hinduism.
