The household chores of the children help them to learn to use their time in a productive way instead of the hours that they lose watching TV or playing electronic games.

The benefits are not only academically, emotionally and professionally. They learn to integrate in the life of home in a good way and to value the efforts of the parents and the cost of the tools used in their household chores.

Indirectly, the household chores have ethical and civic benefits. The youngsters who learn from their childhood times to be active, responsible and productive, they will become good parents, hard workers and responsible citizens. 6 Recommendations

The tally of the illegal immigrants that today live in U.S. is only a part of the problem.

The authorities have to stop the entrance of more illegal immigrants directly in the borders and take action against the visa expiration of the others who enter by airplane or other transportation. 5 Recommendations 03/15/2015 02:02:13 PM



The persecution of Christians is growing across the Islamic world. This is a very serious alarm.

Maybe we are returning to the times of the catacombs. 2 Recommendations 03/15/2015 01:42:45 PM



If the Democrat Party is “hostage to Hillary” the Democrats have to break the chains. In a real democracy, no political party must be hostage of a candidate. 1 Recommendation 03/14/2015 06:07:38 PM



Hillary will look more tired after the new Congress' hearing. 6 Recommendations 03/14/2015 05:32:47 PM



The Venezuelans are living the “hidden face” of the Hugo Chávezs miracle. 6 Recommendations 03/14/2015 05:06:09 PM



After the legendary return of Steve Jobs to Apple and since the introduction of iPod, this technology company goes from success to success due to the excellent planning of its new steps. 4 Recommendations 03/14/2015 04:59:04 PM



John Kerry forgot that he was member of Congress… 3 Recommendations 03/14/2015 04:44:29 PM




President Hugo Chávez promised a lot to the Venezuelans but its political and social model was only a fantasy for short time.

Meanwhile, he selected as his successor a bus driver like Nicolás Maduro Moros, a man without the basic political background to run the country in a "mediocre" way. 2 Recommendations 03/13/2015 04:41:01 PM



When the economy of a country does not work properly, this is the first subject in the priorities of the voters of a general election. 1 Recommendation 03/12/2015 03:48:29 PM



The last events of Ferguson show that this St. Louis suburb is a bonfire.

If the local authorities do not have the capability to calm the population with the respect that the normal inhabitants of the city deserve, professional agitators from everywhere will come to Ferguson to generate more violence and ambushes.

Meanwhile, it will be good that the media and members of the federal government try to stay away from the scene. 4 Recommendations 03/12/2015 03:31:43 PM



The Iranian occupation of Iraq is one of the consequences of the American withdrawal in a very unstable moment for this country.

Really, our soldiers died in Iraq to open the road to the Iranians.

Probably, in short time, we will see something similar in Afghanistan. 2 Recommendations 03/12/2015 02:50:29 PM



From my perspective, the technology business is evolving faster than a provider like Intel.
If this company does not redefine its business model and its lines of products, its problems will continue. 03/12/2015 02:24:15 PM



Probably, Mrs. Clinton will answer with similar reactions to the Benghazi hearing in 2013. 1 Recommendation 03/11/2015 04:48:39 PM


I think that the decision of German Chancellor Angela Merkel to go to Moscow after the May military parade to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Solder is appropriate in the current circumstances. 3 Recommendations 03/11/2015 03:51:10 PM



Mrs. Clinton is acting like the French kings of the 1700s before the French Revolution: “I am the king (in her case: “I am the queen”), “I am the absolute power of the country”, “I am the law”.

We are a democratic country with laws that are over any authority (president, senator, secretary of state…)

As an adult country, we have a Constitution and rules for any government unit and member of the government. And the word “convenience” is completely unacceptable in cases of national security.

In 2016, we must not vote for a “queen” or "king". We have to vote for a candidate of president who will be model of public server and the first in the respect our Constitution and laws. 9 Recommendations 03/11/2015 03:31:10 PM



According to this story, “Hillary Clinton says not using government email was a mistake”.

Now, the open question is how many similar mistakes she will commit if she becomes the president of the country. 7 Recommendations 03/10/2015 04:22:40 PM



The open letter of the forty-seven GOP Senators to the top Iranian leaders marks a new confrontation between Republicans and the White House.

In these conditions, the rest of the Obama’s term will be a battlefield with a big loser: the country. 8 Recommendations 03/09/2015 03:25:36 PM



History shows that the most savage armies did not survive when they commanders and organization could not maintain discipline and unity of their troops.

According to the news, Islamic State is facing the same problems. In these conditions, its future will be short.

Definitely, the disintegration of the Islamic State does not imply the end of the terrorism. Savage groups of criminals with strange ideologies will continue shaking the world and the foundation of our civilization. 3 Recommendations 03/09/2015 01:36:51 PM



An oil transportation system based on trains is more vulnerable and complicated than a good pipeline. 6 Recommendations 03/09/2015 09:55:12 AM



Five men to clean the murder of Boris Nemtsov! Now, Mr. Putin can sleep without bad dreams. Chechnya helped him to erase suspicions. 1 Recommendation 03/09/2015 05:57:57 AM



The last events showed that the racial wounds continue opened, now including the Latinos. 2 Recommendations 03/08/2015 04:38:38 PM



The title of this story “A Better World, Run by Women” is discrimination against the men.

We cannot fix the discrimination of centuries against women, pointing now against men.
There are good women and men and bad women and men in the business and political spheres. 5 Recommendations 03/08/2015 04:25:24 PM



AT&T is past, Apple is present and future.

Apple symbolizes innovation, energy, passion and continuous efforts to bring new tech jewels to the users. Congratulations Apple!

When we read this article titled “How America Was Misled on al Qaeda’s Demise”, we conclude that the United States killed the “man” named Osama bin Laden but it didn’t kill his brains (his ideas and plans, his master creation: al Qaeda).

The unfinished Operation Neptune Spear shows again the poor perspective that the White House administration had during the last few years in the fighting against the terrorism. They tortured prisoners to take “intelligence”, but they didn’t study in deep the “intelligence” that they have through the documents and electronic files of Osama bin Laden. Very regrettable! 6 Recommendations 03/06/2015 03:11:11 PM



In the hurry for a deal with Iran, the Obama administration is losing the perspective of the whole Middle-East.

Nobody is evaluating the “price” of gaining a new friend like Iran compared with the real value of the old friends that will leave us. 5 Recommendations 03/05/2015 04:07:46 PM



The announcement of a larger-screen iPad with USB 3.0 technology is a new warning for the manufacturers of mobile computers.

A digital tablet with bigger screen (12.9 inch) and the connectivity of USB 3.0 is a strong step into the PC world. 03/05/2015 03:41:06 PM



It is predictable that everybody in the Middle-East will make the impossible to have nuclear bombs. Nobody wants the Iran puts its feet over their heads.

Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates like Israel are countries with their own national pride. And their leaders know that the current negotiation with Iran have “tricks” that can give advantage for the Iranians. 03/05/2015 12:49:22 PM



Iran is testing again its influences and power in the Middle-East. And surely, the Tikrit military operation against ISIS will be successful. 03/04/2015 03:20:19 PM



It is obvious that the Supreme Court is divided. In very conflicted issues like the Affordable Care Act, the Justices who are conservative will not agree with the liberals. It will be very difficult to reach a common end. 1 Recommendation 03/04/2015 03:09:20 PM



The public comment of Mr. Putin about the murder of Boris Nemtsov was worse than his previous silence.

The assassination of Mr. Nemtsov is a new political scandal that will never have a clear explanation for the side of the Russian government. 5 Recommendations 03/04/2015 02:54:15 PM



The real problem behind the famous “atomic bomb” is that the “bomb” in the hands of Iranians is an instrument that Iran will use to increase its power as a terror-ruler of Middle-East and the world. 03/03/2015 03:53:13 PM



In short, the speech of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Congress is a small big stone in the path for the Iranian nuclear agreement. 1 Recommendation 03/03/2015 08:52:00 AM



HP has money to go shopping periodically; however since it bought Compaq, each acquisition has generated more headaches than successes for the technology company. 03/02/2015 11:30:16 AM



From my humble point of view, the attitude of the White House and some Democratic lawmakers against the Israeli Prime Minister is childish.

With all the aggressive propaganda against the visit of Benjamin Netanyahu to Congress, President Obama, Susan Rice and others are blowing a big balloon over Washington DC with the following legend “Obama versus Netanyahu”.

The point is that when you put your enemy in the top of the criticism, you are giving him more importance. Now also the Democratic lawmakers who will not attend to the speech, they will be pending of the revelations of Mr. Netanyahu. And after his speech in Congress, the worldwide media from Washington DC to Berlin, Tokyo and Singapore will publish huge headlines.

From the other side, in front of crucial decisions, it is good to hear different opinions about the case (Iranian nuclear power). We always can learn also from people who are against our way of thinking.

In summary, the Netanyahu speech in the American Congress will be the SPEECH OF THE YEAR with the help of negative propaganda of the White House. 1 Recommendation 03/02/2015 08:35:14 AM
