The Los Angeles Lakers have just won the 2020 NBA Finals over the Miami Heat, and LeBron James was named MVP of the Finals. Naturally then, it is time to restart the always entertaining and educational debate over just who is the basketball GOAT (Greatest of all Time). Before delving into that particular argument, it… Continue reading Basketball G.O.A.T. Debate

COVID vs. Sports
The ongoing pandemic has accomplished what nothing, with the possible exception of world wars, has done: affected professional sports. At this writing, the MLB, NBA, and NFL are all in progress… but not without a certain toll. News of at least twenty-two (22) Tennessee Titans players testing positive for COVID-19 have threatened not only upcoming… Continue reading COVID vs. Sports
El Viraje en “U” de Donald Trump
Boletín: Al publicar este artículo, acaba de salir la noticia de que el Presidente Trump y la Primera Dama salieron positivos en pruebas de COVID-19. A consecuencia de esto, se ha cancelado la actividad política programada para Florida en la tarde de hoy viernes, 2 de octubre. Aunque mis criticas de Trump siguen siendo las… Continue reading El Viraje en “U” de Donald Trump
The 2020 Presidential……… Debate??
In all honesty, I struggled to call it that. My favorite line was by one of the TV commentators immediately following the “debate.” What was it? “A hot mess… inside of a dumpster fire… inside of a train wreck.” Observers were at a loss for words following the nationally televised debacle (better word). I was… Continue reading The 2020 Presidential……… Debate??
El Gran Debate: Mi Opinión
Dejé pasar una semana antes de dar mis impresiones, pues lo creo saludable. También, para distanciarme de los analistas políticos y sus predecibles reacciones. Preguntarle a un analista político sobre quién ganó un debate, es como preguntarle a un vendedor de carros cuál es el mejor “dealer.” Vi el debate concentrándome en los candidatos, más… Continue reading El Gran Debate: Mi Opinión
Analyzing Trump’s Support (Part 1)
Few Presidents have achieved the degree of deep divisions among the population as created by Donald Trump. Finding people who inhabit a middle ground with Trump is rarer than finding a 200-carat diamond. More than ever, it is specific groups of people who polarize in either direction. One of these groups has always been the… Continue reading Analyzing Trump’s Support (Part 1)
Trump’s Wall
Obviously no discussion about Trump’s presidency can ever be complete without including that most massive of issues (literally), The Wall. This is the wall that President Trump had promised to build along the U.S.-Mexico border, the cost of which Mexico was going to pay. First, let us dispense with the most outrageous part of the… Continue reading Trump’s Wall
Trump and the Woodward Interviews
Admittedly, it’s getting tougher to keep up with Trump news as we head toward Election Day. I was all set to write about something else, and now the Woodward interviews are all over the news. To summarize, it seems President Trump had a series of 18 interviews with Bob Woodward between Dec 2019 and July… Continue reading Trump and the Woodward Interviews
My “Uh-Oh” Moment Regarding Trump
They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression. For me personally, my first impression (and “uh-oh” moment) of what the upcoming four years under President Donald Trump would bring, came on the day after his Presidential inauguration. Some background first. Although not able to vote in the Presidential election in… Continue reading My “Uh-Oh” Moment Regarding Trump
Debunking Trump’s Claims: The Economy
Let’s cut to the chase, shall we? For almost four years, all we have heard, seen, and read from Trump and his fans is how he has single-handedly created “the greatest economy in the history of the U.S.” We will begin by debunking this claim first. It is generally accepted that the state of the… Continue reading Debunking Trump’s Claims: The Economy
