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
2020: Créalo… o No
Y pensábamos que el 2019 fue interesante, pues por primera vez en la historia un gobernador en función fue obligado a renunciar a su puesto tras unas protestas masivas por el pueblo puertorriqueño. Pero el 2020 estaba esperando a la vuelta de la esquina, guiñando un ojo a sabiendas de lo que venía. Recibimos el… Continue reading 2020: Créalo… o No
Public Enemy #1: Tech-Savvy Agitators
A perfect storm is brewing. It’s the combination of Fake News and Conspiracy Theory fanatics, with tech-savvy agitators. Actually, a better name is sh_t-stirrers, but I’ll stick with agitators for purposes of this article. Take any protest, for example. Add the rioters and looters, and you have changed the narrative completely. Not all rioters and… Continue reading Public Enemy #1: Tech-Savvy Agitators
¡Basta Ya Con El Abuso!
Hago un llamado no solo al municipio de Luquillo, sino a los gobiernos de todos los municipios de Puerto Rico y al mismo gobierno estatal. ¿Cuándo será el día que el gobierno se ocupe de distinguir entre lo que es la práctica noble y necesaria de llevar la palabra de Dios… y lo que es… Continue reading ¡Basta Ya Con El Abuso!
Conspiracy Theorists on Steroids
Back on July 16th, I wrote a blog article called “The Mask-Wearing Civil War” in which I happened to mention Conspiracy Theories. The article received an angry, albeit misdirected response from someone I can only surmise is a Conspiracy Theorist. On July 20th, CNN aired a primetime special on Conspiracy Theories, in which President Trump… Continue reading Conspiracy Theorists on Steroids
