Florida Senator Marco Rubio had a very bad weekend, this after Nicaragua’s communist dictator Daniel Ortega told Costa Rica’s Tico Times that Rubio, and one of his partners in political crime, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, would be banned from visiting his country. Not really.
Ortega, who is the leader of his political party, the socialist Sandinista National Liberation Front, took issue with Rubio and Ros-Lehtinen for voting in favor of passing legislation in the U.S. Congress, that imposed strict sanctions against members of the Maduro regime in Venezuela.“Just like they [U.S. officials] have their lists, we can make our own lists in Latin America of those who shouldn’t enter our country,” Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, via Costa Rica-based Tico Times.
The bill passed, and now awaits President Obama’s signature.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Oh, let’s not hold our breath waiting for Obama to sign the bill into law, considering that Obama had, and still has the opportunity to unilaterally impose sanctions on Maduro’s regime, if he wanted to
Rubio took to Twitter and had a little fun with the news that Ortega blacklisted him from travelling to Nicaragua.
Oh no! My summer vacation plans are ruined! http://t.co/ayPF6tkHPk

Ros-Lehtinen said it was a “badge of honor” to be banned.
Ortega and Venezuela’s strong-man, Nicholas Maduro, who much like his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, are cut from the same socialist political cloth.
In case you have been sleeping under some Guava tree, and not paying too much attention to what has been going on in Venezuela, President Nicholas Maduro has been stomping on, incarcerating, and killing his own people for espousing their opinions and opposition to his brutal Chavista regime.Since Rubio has taken up the #SOSVenezuela campaign against Maduro a bevy of politicians, both from the Democrat and Republican parties, have jumped on his bandwagon to condemn the human rights violations being committed by the Maduro regime.
Maduro, who obviously does not like Rubio for effectively exposing his regime’s brutality against his own people, once even referred to Rubio as “el loco de los locos,” or the crazy of the crazies.
Maduro must have taken notes from Arizona Senator John McCain, who once referred to Senators Rubio, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, as “Wacko Birds.”
But who is really the crazy one here, Rubio or Maduro?
Remember, Maduro recently said that the very dead Hugo Chavez appeared to him in the form of a little bird, and spoke sweet socialist nothings in his ear.There was a large photo of him. There was a statuette of José Gregorio Hernández, and a Christ. Suddenly, a small bird flew in.
And he flew over me three times. He landed on a wooden beam over here,
and he began to sing. ♩♪♫♬♩♪♫♬♩♪♫♬ A song there…(it was) pretty. I looked at him…and I sang back at him.I said, “if you sing at me, I’ll sing at you”. And so I sang. ♩♪♫♬♩♪♫♬♩♪♫♬ The little bird looked at me kind of funny,sang a little, flew around me for a bit, and left. I felt his spirit…I felt him as though he were giving us his blessing…saying to us, “Today the battle begins.” “Go forth to victory, you have our blessings”.
That’s what I felt in my soul, and that’s what I feel… the same as what you felt, Jorge.-Nicholas Maduro
Talk about being a “Wacko Bird,” this guy actually claims to converse with those fine-feathered amigos.
Here is Rep.Ileana Ros-Lehtinen’s video response to Ortega.
