We now know what American entertainers Beyonce and Jay Z were doing in Cuba last year.
President Obama today announced America will resume diplomatic ties with Castro’s communist Cuba after more than 50 years of restrictions on travel and commerce in Cuba.
In a live press conference carried by all major news networks today, Obama announced he is authorizing the exchange of spies with Cuba. In addition, Obama will allow U.S. banks to open credit cards and debit cards in Cuba for the first time. Obama will also authorize Internet access in Cuba.
Obama thanked Pope Francis for negotiating the deal between Cuba and America to release American spies including, Alan Gross who has languished in a Cuban prison for 5 years.
Obama acknowledged he does not have the power to lift the 53-year-old embargoes on Cuba — that would require a vote from Congress. But such limitations has never stopped Obama from pushing his policies in the past.
Calling the embargoes “outdated,” Obama announced America is changing its relationship with Cuba because the embargoes have had little effect on the Castro regime.
The agreement lifts bans on Cuban cigars and other Cuban-made products favored by rappers such as Jay Z, Obama’s ambassador to Cuba who visited the communist country recently with his wife, singer Beyonce.
“The policy changes make it easier for Americans to provide business training for private Cuban businesses and small farmers and provide other support for the growth of Cuba’s nascent private sector,” Obama said.

Syphilis spikes among sexually transmitted diseases in U.S.
The STD is at its highest new case numbers in two decades, CDC data show. Men having sex with men make up 75% of infections.
Syphilis is rapidly spreading among gay and bisexual men in the United States, leading to the highest new case numbers reported in two decades, while other common sexually transmitted diseases appear to be under control, a federal study found on Tuesday.
In 2013, the number of syphilis infections reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rose by more than 10 percent to 17,535 cases, according to the agency’s annual report card on diseases commonly spread through sexual contact.
That is the most syphilis cases since 1995, the CDC said, with men having sex with men accounting for 75% of infections.
“We’re concerned about this increase,” said Gail Bolan, director of the CDC’s division of sexually transmitted disease prevention. ”The traditional tools we have been using do not seem to be as effective.”
The report also found that gonorrhea transmission was stabilizing, while new cases of Chlamydia declined from the levels seen in 2012.
Federal health officials called for better screening of syphilis, which can lead to blindness and stroke if untreated.
Half of the men with syphilis are also infected with HIV, according to the CDC.
The CDC recommends at least annual tests for men having sex with men.
Men having sex with anonymous partners may require more frequent screenings, such as every three to six months, Bolan said, calling for more awareness among medical professionals.
“We have a lot of providers that don’t realize that syphilis is back,” she said. “They think this is a disease of years past. It’s critical that they do a sexual history so that they can improve screening for these men.”
um, yeah it was Bey & Jay… ignore the Vatican’s involvement
@USER

Manny Pacquiao tweets fight with Floyd Mayweather may finally happen
Of course, putting together the dream fight, which has been talked about, written about, and speculated about for years, is easier said than done. Manny Pacquiao has spoken.
Well, actually, he’s Tweeted, but his message is clear — he’s ready to battle Floyd Mayweather.
On Tuesday, Pacquiao reached out to Mayweather directly on social media, telling him, “don’t be a boxing humbug. Let’s give the fans what they want. They have waited long enough.”
.@FloydMayweather, don’t be a boxing humbug. Let’s give the fans the fight they want. They have waited long enough.
— Manny Pacquiao (@MannyPacquiao) December 16, 2014
The message comes four days after Mayweather said on Showtime, “We are ready. Let’s make it happen. Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao. Let’s do it.”
Mayweather even mentioned a specific date — May 2, which is something he’s never done.
on the bright side, my ex can now get his Cuban Montecristo cigars without fear of breaking the law… (
shame… i shoulda turned him in long time ago 
)
@Afiya’s post,
Of equal importance is for these men (and when applicable, women) to beintrinsically motivated to proactively go and get said screenings. Some would rather not know what they have.
Also, peepa who are or plan to be sexually active should talk with partners and ask to see their blood test results or std results in addition to asking when was the last time you had a test, etc. Ignorance breeds contempt and more diseases (new strains, etc.)
Good post Afiya
Viva la Cuba! Beyonce and Jay-Z look so good up there.
Man, if evah there was a time when monogamy and celibacy were en vogue…..
aight Fiya!
…but only ’cause it’s the holidays 
They SHOULD do a lot of things Shake
BUT…. *drifts off*
8 mo dayz :crying1:
I hate to say it but Floyd acts scared. If this fight ever happens, I’m throwing a party

Too late boo. I got all the prizes
@FancyNancy,
That’s what you gleaned from this post? That you shoulda turned in your ex a long time ago?

shakey wouldnt they know something is amiss? is Syph a dormant disease or does it have stinky discharge-y symptoms too? is syphillis the one that burns when you pee?
I cant imagine walking around with a fire crotch but my friends say I go to the doctor too much anyway. I like to make sure everything is in tip top shape.
@Afiya,
And I wholeheartedly agree with you babe. Some peepa still don’t understand that sex is a privilege, not a right. Just like breeding. Just cause you CAN do it, doesn’t mean you SHOULD do it.
But as you said….it’s too much like common sense.
I wonder what that exotic taste like out a Cuban

Wait, what?
Exotic puss?
Exotic d!ck?
Exotic cigars?
Exotic food?
Exotic drugs?

“I hate to say it but Floyd acts scared.”
______________
Floyd been pushing this fight for years. It was nearly set up but Pacquiao didn’t want to be tested for steroids. Which is pretty standard in boxing matches.
I don’t think Manny stands a chance. I’ve always felt he was overrated. He needs the money now so he will prolly do it.

Both….it can lie dormant and then flare up as it goes into secondary and tertiary stages. This is what killed Al Capone. Untreated, it ain’t no joke.

@Man,
If a person chooses to be celibate or monogamous, there is nothing wrong with that. It’s their choice. It may not work for tou, but to each his own.
BTW, how are you doing?
No. You KNOW you got syph.

I hope they don’t try to extradite Assata Shakur from there
I like this pope:
“In a deal negotiated during 18 months of secret talks hosted largely by Canada and encouraged by Pope Francis, who hosted a final meeting at the Vatican, President Obama and President Raúl Castro of Cuba agreed in a telephone call to put aside decades of hostility to find a new relationship between the United States and the island nation just 90 minutes off the American coast.”
@Man,
Golly gee willickers Man! I won’t…….I just wanted to present an alternative viewpoint. With all the thirsty chickenheads in the world, you have more than enough non-infested Hello Kitty to choose from.
Just leave the alley cats and feral cats alone. Mystery meat is no bueno.
Francis played a big role in bringing the longtime rivals to the negotiating table, the official said. Francis sent what was characterized as an extraordinary personal letter to Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro over the summer, urging both parties to end their frosty relationship. Following the letter, and the negotiations, Obama and Castro had a phone conversation that helped lead to Wednesday’s announcement.
The letter “gave us greater impetus and momentum for us to move forward,” the administration official said. The Vatican was the only government that participated in the negotiations between the U.S. and Cuba. Vatican officials were “in those meetings,” the official said.
All these wonky eyed fools :smh: :confused:

The Vatican was the only government

I don’t think Manny would win, not now and not years ago. I did hear about the steroids thing but people’s psyches can be weird especially when you’re undefeated. I just want to see the fight.
@USER
yes, the Vatican has always been considered a “government.” Has their own army and everything.
Hopefully Obama will give her a pardon, but I don’t think she’ll be too happy about this….
