MY COMMENT: The European tour of Defense Secretary Ash
Carter comes with tanks and military equipment.
Since the beginning
of the Crimea crisis, this is the first time that the United States is deploying military equipment across 6
European countries that were part of the Iron Curtain.
At least now, the
Russians see a military reaction from the Obama administration. We have to
observe if Moscow sends its tanks to the Russian frontier. A
new chess match has started.
Some observers think
this initiative will make more difficult the relationships between Washington and Moscow. 2 Recommendations 06/23/2015 02:33:34 PM
MY COMMENT: The call of South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley
to remove the Confederate Flag looks like a right decision to avoid new
controversies after the Charleston killing.
Former Republican
presidential candidate Mitt Romney and other politicians asked for the removal
of the Confederate Flag. 1 Recommendation 06/23/2015 09:25:53 AM
MY COMMENT: The news says: “European
leaders keep pushing ahead with their effort to build a vibrant digital
marketplace, and, well, it would be better if they didn’t.”
In other words, the
EU authorities continue fighting to confront American companies like Amazon,
Google, Facebook and Microsoft with better European options, but because they
don’t have success, they express their frustration through more and more
regulations. 1 Recommendation 06/23/2015 09:17:05 AM
MY COMMENT: Hillary has huge machinery behind her working
for the 2016 president election since she was Secretary of State.
Nobody of the other
candidates started their campaign earlier than Hillary. Meanwhile, she really
created a “holy” environment with the message: “I am the next U.S. President!”
We have to see what
will happen when the official debates for the Republican nomination start.
Before 2008, nobody
could think Barack Obama will defy Hillary Clinton, wife of Bill Clinton,
former First Lady… 2 Recommendations 06/23/2015 09:03:27 AM
MY COMMENT: Greece has to say “Thank you” to Europe for the long patience of Jean-Claude
Juncker, Angela Merkel and French President Hollande. 1 Recommendation 06/22/2015 3:18:36 PM
MY COMMENT: The cables inform about the Taliban attack to
the Afghan Parliament in Kabul that generated panic in the middle of the Afghan centers of power.
We have to remark
that Afghanistan was another unfinished job of U.S. and its allies due to the retreat of the
troops before the complete defeat of the Taliban militants. 1 Recommendation 06/22/2015 03:13:12 PM
MY COMMENT: The news comments about a poll after Jeb Bush
announced officially that he is looking for the Republican nomination.
The current trends
with Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio in the top of the polls shows the Republicans are
thinking in candidates who can block the ambitions of Hillary Clinton to win
with the votes of the Latinos and the middle class. 1 Recommendation 06/22/2015 02:23:23 PM
MY COMMENT: Working mothers are first of all mothers. Big
or small jobs don’t have to kill their role of mothers.
It is good if a
working mother can perform a big job, but she never has to forget that at home
her children are waiting with smiles and sometimes tears, always anxious to see
their mom.
Children who grow
with the love and the daily teaching of good parents (dad + mom) become good
adults, good new parents and good citizens.
We are living a
terrible HOME CRISIS and we see the consequences in cases like the Charleston killing.
By the way, days
ago, in Rome, Italy, a lot of normal people were to the street
to demonstrate in defense of the “natural family” (dad, mom and children). An
European newspaper commented the about this demonstration under the title:
“Offensive of the Traditionalism”. 2 Recommendations 06/21/2015 03:17:01 PM
MY COMMENT: Ted Cruz’s father tries to help his son in
the campaign for the 2016 president voting. He is a Christian pastor.
But in this
opportunity there is more than one candidate who appeals to the Christian
voters. The Bible cannot help to everybody to win the election. 1
Recommendation 06/21/2015 02:55:19 PM
MY COMMENT: While the police are searching in any corner
of New
York State, maybe the escaped killers are in Mexico or Canada with a new identity.
Both criminals look
smarter than the woman who helped them to escape from jail. 1 Recommendation 06/21/2015 02:41:01 PM
MY COMMENT: After the Charleston shooting, the reopening of the Church for
Sunday services showed the power of the community trying to surpass the tragedy
with an attitude of love and strength of mind.
This is the best
answer to the intolerance against other human beings with different skin but
with a heart like everyone.
We must share the
pray for the victims of the massive killing. 4 Recommendations 06/21/2015 02:13:32 PM
MY COMMENT: Brazilian officials arrest corporate magnates
for the scandal of the state-run oil company Petrobras, but they didn’t arrest
to the corrupt politicians involved in this scandal.
Probably, they don’t
touch the politicians because according to the rumors the boss of the dirty
business is the own Brazilian President. 1 Recommendation 06/20/2015 04:48:45 PM
MY COMMENT: Again the Kurds look for their independence.
Kurdistan as an independent state can be a “barrier”
against the expansion of the Islamic State, but the Obama administration didn’t
show interest to help the Kurds as Kurds. It only supports them through the Iraq government and the Iraqis don’t want the
independence of Kurdistan.
From the other side,
despite the recent political victory in Turkey, the central government of this country will
block their independence. This case is very complicated. 1 Recommendation 06/20/2015 03:40:35 PM
MY COMMENT: Like everybody, the Pope can express his
point of view about climate change, but he is not an expert in this issue to
suggest specific solutions. 2 Recommendations 06/20/2015 03:22:31 PM
MY COMMENT: This story comments that China is designing a new high-speed railway for Russia.
The economic
sanctions against Russia are giving important business opportunities to China.
The German newspaper
Die Welt says that till now the cost of the Russian crisis for Europe is 100 billion of euros. 3 Recommendations 06/19/2015 01:31:33 PM
MY COMMENT: In times of war and chaos, the countries need
an iron man ruling the country with strong hand. Frequently, some observers
point against these leaders and they say: “This is a dictatorship.”
We have to
differentiate the good and bad iron leaders and stop to categorize as dictator
to who is making the best for his country.
From my point of
view, this is the case of Egyptian President Fattah Al Sisi. If General Sisi
makes the best for Egypt and fights hard against the terrorism: Welcome
President Sisi! 1 Recommendation 06/19/2015 01:19:00 PM
MY COMMENT: When we more hear about the Charleston Church killing, we realize that the suspect
criminal acted like a wild beast with a high racial hate. It is strange that
nobody before had paid attention about his dangerous attitude. 1 Recommendation

MY COMMENT: The news says that the EU Commission
criticizes the “anti-migrant fence” of Hungary.
The drama of the
refugees is very serious. However, the massive immigration of people from Asia and Africa forces to take different initiatives because
the majority of the European countries cannot afford the wave of human beings
who are looking for a new place to live. 1 Recommendation 06/18/2015 03:17:53 PM
MY COMMENT: Without a plan of economic growth, it is not
possible to generate resources for a social system. 06/18/2015 02:59:38 PM
MY COMMENT: The departure of the former Nokia CEO Stephen
Elop is the “end” of a chapter that produced a lot of frustration across the
Microsoft’s corridors.
From now, Microsoft
CEO Satya Nadella has his hands free to manage the Nokia’s package in the way
that he considers better for the future of the technology company.

MY COMMENT: The statement “Let Dad Be Dad” is great.
The children need a
Mom and a Dad to grow healthy in the physical, emotional and intellectual ways.
It looks like something obvious, but we the adults frequently complicate the
obvious things of the life. 12 Recommendations 06/17/2015 10:52:04 AM
