RETHINKING - THANKSGIVING 2016 - NOV. 24, 2016



Dear Friends:


Thanksgiving is the perfect time to rethink our lives. It is the perfect time for the analysis of the good and the bad things and say THANK YOU GOD AND THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO HELPED US in our difficult moments.

The life has a lot of problems. We always find hurdles across our path. But we have to be grateful for all that we have and for all that we have achieved with our own effort and the help of others.



Happy Thanksgiving!

RETHINKING: New Earhquake in the Political Arena



Dear Friends:


During the last two weeks. Republicans and Democrats celebrated their national conventions where Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were nominated as the presidential candidates of both parties.

It was at the Democratic National Convention, when Khizr Khan, the father of Capt. Humayun Khan, pointed against Mr. Trump, when a new earthquake started in the political arena.

We will not discuss here the message of Khizr Khan and the events related to the death of his son.

Personally, we didn’t like that the Democrats used the scene of the convention, to make public the painful situation of the Khan family. However, those were the facts. 

In that moment, the best answer had been silence. But Donald Trump answered in a way that was not appropriate to the circumstances.

We don’t know, what will happen from now. The reality is that a lot of Republicans are trying to put distance from Donald Trump. If this situation continues, the November election will be a disaster for the GOP.

And this is something that Hillary Clinton doesn’t deserve, because she is not the perfect candidate for the White House.

Here you can read a series of comments related to the current political campaign that I posted in the blog pages of Wall Street Journal.

Important: Some of the next WSJ comments were rewritten according to the summary of news.

RETHINKING - INDEPENDENCE DAY - July 4, 2016



Dear Friends:

Today, on Independence Day, it is good to return to the pages of History to search a little about the reasons of this celebration.

The Declaration of American Independence starts wit these paragraphs:

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights; that among these are Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…”

Despite the time that happened from 1776, we find that the text of the Declaration of the American Independence is wise and its concepts are important to rethink in the present-days when all is shaking around us.

Happy Independence Day!

Happy July 4th!

RETHINKING: "Madame President!" - June 9, 2016



Dear Friends:

Despite her unpopularity among different sectors of the citizenship, on Tuesday after her victory in New Jersey, Hillary Clinton celebrated the chant of her fans “Madame President!”

About this “victory”, Wall Street Journal published in its front-page of the paper edition of yesterday an extensive story titled: “Clinton Makes History with Win”. For the other side, the editorial of New York Times posted another interesting article with the title: “Hillary Clinton’s Triumph, and Burden”.

Next, the last poll numbers that came from California confirmed that June 7, 2016 was a great day for “Madame President”.

Neither the scandal of the emails, nor the hard battle of Bernie Sanders stopped the race of Hillary for the Democratic nomination.

Now, she has more of the delegates that she needed to go to the Democrat National Convention in July. Hillary made history, without any doubt.

However, we don't know what will happen during the presidential campaign against Donald Trump. We don’t know, if some of the Sanders’ fanatics will cross the street to vote for Mr. Trump.

The real fact is that till now, the voters did not punish her. In the politics, sometimes the ethics is pushed down, when the people follow a controversial figure for their emotions and the noise of a strong marketing campaign.

By the way, yesterday, June 8, WSJ Online posted a story titled: How Hillary Clinton Shifted Leftward
The story was published with a big photo of Mrs. Clinton speaking in a meeting with the motto: "Fighting for us".

MY COMMENT: The motto of Hillary is "Fighting for us". But she doesn't fight for me or for you, she fights for her ego.

BLOG COMMENTS – May 27, 2016 - Unpopularity of the presumptive candidates



Dear Friends:

From the moment that Ted Cruz and John Kasich left the GOP race, Donald Trump is working to reverse the negative position of GOP elites against him and also is looking for a vice president candidate that completes his formula.

In the Democrat side, Bernie Sanders continues his campaign gaining several states and receiving more donations.  Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton doesn't feel comfortable because her popularity has declined and she must continue in campaign because Bernie Sanders doesn't leave the battlefield.

Despite the delegates that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton won in recent months, the polls show that both are the most unpopular presidential candidates of the last decades.

In other level of the political sphere, the trip of President Obama to Vietnam generated weak reactions. Today for the people the Obama’s agenda is not more important. Everybody is in the debate between Trump and Clinton.

In the international level, the terrible news of the last few days was the fault of the Egyptian airplane for an apparently bomb explosion.

Before my classic “summary” of COMMENTS posted directly in the online pages of Wall Street Journal, I am sharing with you some of the comments that I posted in Twitter about the voting of American presidential campaign. Here, they are:
