🇲🇽🚨 Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum just made it clear: Mexico has every right to send fuel to Cuba, whether for humanitarian or commercial reasons. No apology. No hesitation. No asking permission. Washington has spent six decades telling the world who can trade with Cuba and who cannot. Mexico is saying that era is over. Sovereign nations make their own trade policy. They do not wait for a blockade to be lifted. They act. First Mexico restarts oil shipments. Now the President is putting the empire on notice. Cuba is not alone. Latin America is waking up. And the days of Washington dictating who gets fuel and who gets starved are coming to an end.

Jamaica's PM didn't even acknowledge that there's a war going on during his budget debate monologue or what economic challenges the country & its citizens would face. How this man has the title of Dr., I don't understand😒

#DOMINICA: The Government on Wednesday announced a series of measures aimed at cushioning the economic impact of the ongoing Middle East conflict, warning that rising oil prices and global supply disruptions could affect fuel, food costs, jobs, and overall economic stability.

Access to our beaches is not a privilege, it is a right. Senator Allan Bernard raises a critical concern. When access can be granted, priced, or restricted by licensed operators, it stops being a right and becomes conditional. And rights that depend on permission are not rights at all. As Jamaica moves forward, we must be careful not to trade away public access and equity for convenience or control. This is about more than policy. It’s about protecting what belongs to the people. #ScenesFromSenate #Budget2026

Land is more than space, it is opportunity. Access to land has always been central to building livelihoods, expanding ownership, and creating generational stability. But for too many Jamaicans, that access remains out of reach. A fairer Jamaica must ensure that land is used to empower people, to support housing, agriculture, and enterprise, so more Jamaicans can build, grow, and thrive. #BudgetDebate2026 #BuildBackBettaThanBefore

Jamaicans are paying some of the highest electricity costs in the region. That is not sustainable. And it is not fair. Energy must work for the people not against them. It must power homes, support businesses, and drive real economic growth. Because lowering energy costs isn’t just about convenience… It's about opportunity, productivity, and a better quality of life. That is how we Build Back Betta Than Before. #BudgetDebate2026 #BuildBackBettaThanBefore

The National Housing Trust must be returned to its core purpose building homes for Jamaicans. For years, billions have been withdrawn to support central government spending. But at a time when housing demand is high and thousands are still recovering, that approach is no longer sustainable. Ending the withdrawal is about restoring the NHT’s ability to deliver expanding housing supply and giving more Jamaicans a real chance at homeownership. @julianjay #BudgetDebate2026 #FixNowFixTheFuture

🚨WARNING: To The AES leaders, President Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso, President Assimi Goïta of Mali, and President Abdourahamane Tchiani of Niger, this is a warning. Ghana's John Mahama just signed a security deal with the EU. The same EU that bombs Libya, arms Israel, and polices the Mediterranean to keep Africans out. This is not partnership. This is a trap. Any African leader who accommodates imperialists is a danger to the continent. Imperialism is our common enemy, not each other. The AES is showing the way. Ghana is going backward. Africa must choose. Sovereignty or servitude. No middle ground.

Dawes Says New Sugar Tax Structure Reflects PNP’s Evidence Driven Approach Kingston, Jamaica. March 25, 2026:  The Opposition Spokesperson on Health and Wellness, Dr Alfred Dawes, says the Government’s decision to move from a flat tax on sugary beverages to a tiered, sugar-based system reflects arguments put forward by the People’s National Party (PNP) during the budget debate. Dr Dawes noted that the shift underscores the strength of the PNP’s case for a more targeted, evidence-driven approach to tackling non-communicable diseases. “This is a clear indication that the Government has had to reconsider its position in light of the arguments raised by the Opposition. The issue was never political; it was about getting the policy right,” said Dr Dawes. “As a bariatric surgeon, I see the consequences of poor dietary patterns every day. A flat tax makes no distinction between beverages with vastly different sugar content. Treating a drink with 5 grams of sugar per 100ml the same as one with 15 grams is not public health policy, it is a failure to respond to risk.” He added that the tiered structure better aligns fiscal measures with health outcomes by encouraging reformulation and guiding consumers toward lower-sugar options. “This is precisely the kind of approach the PNP argued for; one that uses policy to change behaviour and reduce harm, not just collect revenue.”

Opposition Demands Urgent Investigation Into Serious Corruption Allegations Against Central Kingston MP Kingston, Jamaica. March 25, 2026:  Formal complaints have been lodged with the Integrity Commission, the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA), and the Auditor General’s Department, calling for an immediate and full investigation into alarming allegations of corruption, electoral interference, and the misuse of public funds against the Member of Parliament for Central Kingston, Donovan Williams. The complaints, submitted following the circulation of detailed audio voice notes, outline a disturbing pattern of conduct that strikes at the very foundation of public trust and democratic governance. Among the most serious revelations are allegations that MP Williams facilitated the destruction of properties by fire within his constituency to enable other Members of Parliament to purchase the lands. Further claims detail the systematic extraction of funds from public road contracts, with specific reference to works on Wildman Street, Sutton Street, and in Allman Town, where it is alleged that a 1.5 million dollar allocation was to be diverted to the MP, according to JLP Rae Town Councillor Rosalie Hamilton. Of grave concern are further allegations that MP Williams abused his position as Minister of State in the Ministry of Labour and Social Security by directing the distribution of Hurricane relief assistance to beneficiaries outside of the areas directly affected by the disaster. The alleged politically motivated redirection of disaster relief funds, appropriated by Parliament for a specific humanitarian purpose, represents a serious abuse of ministerial office and a betrayal of the most vulnerable Jamaicans those funds were intended to serve. The complaints filed also cite allegations of fraudulent documentation used to obtain funds under the Solidarity Programme, where forms were fraudulently recorded. These fresh allegations raise further concerns over MP Williams’s involvement in past controversies, including the MediTech matter, the 31 million dollar drill purchase in which he held a major shareholding interest, and the EstateBridge development for which he serves as Company Secretary, which the Integrity Commission and the Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation found to have violated building regulations. “These allegations, spanning electoral manipulation, organised criminal activity, the abuse of ministerial office, and the systematic plunder of State resources intended for the most vulnerable, demand nothing less than the full weight of the law,” the Party said. “The people of Central Kingston and all Jamaicans deserve to know whether a sitting Member of Parliament has been using his office as a shield to commit acts that undermine the integrity of our democracy and the safety of our communities. It is only right to place these matters before the relevant authorities and expect a swift, thorough, and transparent investigation.” The Opposition has urged the relevant agencies to act with urgency, preserve all evidence, and provide public accountability for what it describes as one of the most serious sets of allegations brought against a sitting parliamentarian in recent history

Cuba's President Diaz-Canel: "Are we a threat, or are we a threat by example?" "When Maduro was kidnapped, those who fought back were Cubans. 32 of them held back a Delta Force unit... despite being massively outnumbered." "We are in difficult times, yes, but we are also in times that demand definition. And here, on this island, the courage of a people is defined -- a people that would rather die on their feet than live on their knees."

AFRICANS ARE NOT GUINEA PIGS: Zimbabwe has officially walked away from a massive $367 million health funding deal with the United States. President Emmerson Mnangagwa personally intervened to halt the talks, describing the proposed Memorandum of Understanding as "clearly lopsided" and a threat to national sovereignty. The breaking point for Harare was a series of clauses that would have required Zimbabwe to hand over sensitive biological data and pathogen samples to Washington without any guarantee of access to the vaccines or treatments developed from them. Government spokesperson Nick Mangwana summed up the sentiment in a viral statement: "Africans are not guinea pigs."

Running out of ideas? Just retreat 30 years into the past and rewrite history. While Jamaica is navigating a post-hurricane economic crisis, rising living costs and a tax package squeezing the pockets of ordinary Jamaicans the Prime Minister's response is to dust off a 30-year-old narrative about FINSAC. In the words of Opposition Leader @MarkJGolding: "It is the refuge of someone who has run out of ideas." His own Government wasted over J$150 million on a FINSAC report that was never completed and never delivered to the Jamaican people. And now he wants to rewrite that same history to suit his narrative? Jamaica does not need spin. Jamaica does not need a trip down a politically convenient memory lane. Jamaica needs bold leadership, a recovery plan and a Government that is focused on the challenges of TODAY not 30 years ago. #BuildBackBettaThanBefore #BudgetDebate2026 #JamaicaPNP #MarkJGolding #FINSAC #Jamaica #BudgetDebate
