BLOG COMMENTS: 2015/10/23 - 2015/10/30



On The Not Ready for Prime Time Bush: By Peggy Noonan

MY COMMENT: In the third debate, Jeb Bush made a strategic mistake, when he attacked to his friend Marco Rubio.

To grow in the political scene, Jeb had to point against Trump or
Carson.

In all the contests, the competitors have to go against who are in the first lines of the competition. This is basic.

Maybe, this mistake is the beginning of the end of the Bush’s campaign. 3 Recommendations

MY COMMENT: The European Union and local authorities are acting in a weak way against the criminal networks that make profit transporting the refugees and migrants. 

Maybe some of these authorities are "partners" of the smugglers. The corruption in Europe is high and the ethical principles are low.  1 Recommendation 10/29/2015 03:01:56 PM



MY COMMENT: Yes, the third GOP debate was noisy. But it was the first light of the end of the tunnel of the Republican nomination for the 2016 presidential election.

Donald Trump lost positions and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz surged as the two candidates with political career with more possibilities to win the contest.

Marco Rubio showed that he is smart and balanced, with good attitude and the skill that a US president needs now. He is one of the best Republican candidates to defeat Hillary Clinton, who surely will be the Democrat nominated for the 2016 presidential election.

Despite that Marco is young; he has an extensive and strong career in the politics. In 2010 his victory against the former Florida Governor Charlie Crist for a seat in the US Senate was a test of the political talent of the current Senator Rubio. 6 Recommendations 10/29/2015 01:58:49 PM



MY COMMENT: The election of Republican Rep. Paul Ryan as the 62nd Speaker is a good step to unify the House under the leadership of a young politician with relevant experience in Congress and political issues.

Paul Ryan is from Wisconsin. He is Catholic with Irish, German and English ancestors. He was the vice-president candidate in 2012 of the formula Romney-Ryan.

The victory of Ryan was a new important setback for Nancy Pelosi, who was the candidate of the Democrat caucus. 4 Recommendations 10/29/2015 01:28:28 PM



MY COMMENT: If Nintendo makes a good job, creating video games that work perfect in a smart-phone platform, it will open a profitable business. 

In other words, Nintendo has to design and implement video games according to the frame of a smart-phone that is difference from the video game devices and computers.

MY COMMENT: From the moment that HTC entered in the smart-phones market, it is creating products with very good design, style and high level.

The Taiwanese company always tries to make the best. 1 Recommendation 10/28/2015 02:58:31 PM



MY COMMENT: Step by step, Europe is returning to the times when the continent was divided by big fences and barriers, walls difficult to climb and unfriendly police in the check points.

Meanwhile, the European Union spirit and ideals are falling in pieces. This community of countries needs leaders who redefine together around a table and with open mind what they want for the future of the EU. 2 Recommendations

On Hillary Clinton Flunks Economics: (written by Carly Fiorina) First Part

MY COMMENT: Hillary Clinton doesn't have knowledge about economics, the same that she doesn't have clue about national defense, security, cyber-attacks... 9 Recommendations 10/27/2015 04:17:38 PM



MY COMMENT: China is taking a hard position of power. Maybe, the Chinese are looking for a confrontation in the South China Sea. 1 Recommendation 10/27/2015 01:46:56 PM



MY COMMENT: Always the global stocks are very sensitive to the Federal Reserve initiatives. 

This shows how the financial world is linked with the politics of the United States. 1 Recommendation 10/27/2015 09:14:45 AM



MY COMMENT: The fight against ISIS militants have to continue across all the territories where there are cells of this terrorist group to stop its growth.

If the Islamic State declines, the refugee crisis also will go down. 10/27/2015 08:54:29 AM



MY COMMENT: Donald Trump is trying to put another hot subject over the table to generate debate and captures new followers, but he doesn’t know if Vladimir Putin will like him.

It is easy to talk from the street, but when somebody arrives to the White House, his perspective changes. 1 Recommendation 10/26/2015 04:07:59 PM



MY COMMENT: Till now, the Argentina’s future remains gloomy. A second round between Scioli and Macri maybe changes the situation.

If Scioli wins the second round, Argentina will continue immersed in the same mud of the Kirchners.

The second round between Scioli and Macri is a contest between people who want to continue in mud and Argentine citizens who look for a change.

However, the new president will receive a huge package of smelly problems after 12 years of Kirchnerism.

The Kirchnerism started in 2003 with the formula Nestor Kirchner-Scioli. (Scioli: current presidential candidate).

The Kirchnerism didn’t respect international obligations of country and it has acted with total omnipotence.

In addition, Cristina Kirchner was involved directly or indirectly in the murder of the prosecutor who was investigating the AMIA terrorist attack in 1994 and the bombing of the Israeli embassy in 1992.

About Mauricio Macri, the opposition leader who is shaking Argentina, the big question is: Will Macri revert the 12 years of Kirchnerism?

Argentina needs a new president with humble attitude, honest, 100% decent and with the resolution and power to move the country out of the mud of the omnipotence, corruption and crime.

The new leader has to re-educate Argentina to walk for the path of the ethics, honesty and a healthy national pride. 1 Recommendation 10/26/2015 03:32:04 PM



MY COMMENT: Invest in innovation in any niche of the industry is always risky because the return on investment is not evident.

The initiative of Mary Barra, GM CEO, has risks too. Till now the future of the car industry is in a process of redefining.10/26/2015 01:21:45 PM



MY COMMENT: Yahoo suffers a chronic disease since the days Google pushed it to the side.

Marissa Mayer, the current Yahoo’s CEO, didn’t heal the company. 1 Recommendation 10/25/2015 04:22:14 PM



MY COMMENT: The current market values of the top tech companies – Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon - show how technology is modeling a new economy. More surprises will come soon. 1 Recommendation 10/25/2015 02:52:31 PM



MY COMMENT: From now, Donald Trump will learn that the bullies cannot reign for long time.

When he was growing in the political scene, he played a wrong game. 3 Recommendations

MY COMMENT: The news says that Russia is redeploying special-ops forces from Ukraine to Syria.

Surely, Vladimir Putin is looking for a strong victory in Syria. 1 Recommendation 10/24/2015 04:16:34 PM



MY COMMENT: This is not the first series of talks between John Kerry and Sergei Lavrov about Syrian civil war.

Probably, in this opportunity Lavrov will say to Kerry: “We – the Russians – are bombing and making debris the Syrian cities. You – the Americans – have to take the refugees and make the humanitarian job." 1 Recommendation 10/23/2015 01:58:54 PM



MY COMMENT: Lincoln Chafee is the second candidate of the 2016 Democratic presidential race who is making easy the campaign of Hillary Clinton after the first debate. 

In addition, Joe Biden announced that he will not run. 10/23/2015 01:48:07 PM



MY COMMENT: The Russians are bombing Syrian targets without caring for the possible victims.

They are acting like robots of destruction. 2 Recommendations 10/23/2015 01:34:44 PM



MY COMMENT: Paul Ryan is a politician who transmits positive waves to everybody.

It looks like he has the capability to build “bridges” among Republican factions and between Republicans and Democrats. 2 Recommendations 10/23/2015 01:18:12 PM
