Dear Friends:
During the last few
days, a lot of articles and stories were published by Wall Street Journal, The
New York Times and Washington Post about the President Obama last trip to Middle East and Europe, and the efforts of the Republican leaders
to derail the Trump campaign.
Barack Obama met the
top leaders of the Gulf countries in Saudi Arabia trying to rebuild frayed relationships with
the oil owners of the Middle
East. (We really
don’t know this meeting will generate good results).
Also President Obama
passed for U.K. to say: “Happy Birthday” to Elizabeth II in her 90 birthday celebration.
There, he used his free time to play in a royal palace with the 2-year old Prince George.
Next, Obama traveled
to Germany to open together with the German Chancellor Angela
Merkel the 2016 edition of the famous Hannover Fair.
Meanwhile, in U.S. the Republican leaders had a series of talks
to find the way to derail the Trump campaign, while Hillary Clinton
consolidated her position against Bernie Sanders after her important victory in
the Democratic voting of New York.
Now I would like to
share with you a “summary” of recent news and the comments posted by myself in
the WSJ Journal Community about headlines of the Wall Street Journal from April
21 to April 26.
Before my COMMENTS
posted directly in the online pages of Wall Street Journal, I am copying for
you some of the tweets that I posted yesterday evening and this morning early in
the WSJ page of Twitter about the voting of Republicans and Democrats in the Tuesday
polls of five states of the East of the United States: Connecticut, Delaware,
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Here, they are:
……………………………………………………………………………………………………

@WSJ Hillary Clinton took
4 more states. Rhode Island was the consolation of Bernie Sanders.
Impressions: 68
Domingo Trassens @trassens 8h
@WSJ Donald Trump beat
the Cruz-Kasich Alliance in is its first public appearance with 5 new
"stars".
Impressions: 65
Impressions: 131
Domingo Trassens @trassens 15h
@reidepstein @WSJ Mr. Cruz: The hope is
the last we lose, but the numbers are the only truth in this hard competition.
Impressions: 91
Domingo Trassens @trassens 15h
@WSJ (Cruz + Kasich) <
Trump: Gloomy days for the Cruz-Kasich alliance.
Impressions: 285
Domingo Trassens @trassens 16h
@WSJ Bernie Sanders has to show that he can win
the nomination before to look for a running mate.
Impressions: 105
Note: The numbers of
these “impressions” were reflected by Twitter Analytics 14 hours after the poll
results were published. Surely, these “impressions” will grow in the next
hours.

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

BLOG COMMENTS: 2016/04/21 - 2016/04/27
MY COMMENT: The growth of Hillary Clinton in the current
presidential race is not her merit. It is the fault of others. Trump insulted
to everybody. Sanders painted a socialist model that clashes against the
American classic model. Obama welcomed the Muslim world in ingenuous and risky
way.

MY COMMENT: Before to look for a running mate, Bernie
Sanders has to show that he can win the nomination. The name of Elizabeth
Warren will not give him the victory.

MY COMMENT: The decline of the sales and incomes of Apple
is reasonable. It is impossible to grow every quarter when the market is full
of devices.

Models for Open Borders
Now Donald Trump is changing his message about H-1B visas
with an open model for immigrants who come to US for professional works.
MY COMMENT: Today
“Donald Trump flip-flops on H-1B visas”. Tomorrow he will flip-flop on the
Mexican border and other subjects.

This story tells us how a Arab businessman grew as a oil
tycoon of Islamic State and after that he had a deadly fall.
MY COMMENT: In
the terror world nobody is the owner of own back.

comment generated very good feed-back in the page of Wall Street Journal of
Twitter.)
After the GOP leaders met last week to find the way to
derail Donald Trump, suddenly Ted Cruz and John Kasich made a strange alliance
to fight against the front-runner.
MY COMMENT: The
Cruz-Kasich alliance is a desperate “dull” move of the GOP to avoid a big
disaster against Clinton.

In other times, marriages like Charter-Time Warner Cable
were considered monopolistic and the regulators blocked them. Now the
regulators recommend the approval of this deal without saying a word about the
employees that maybe go to the street for this marriage and the other
monopolistic effects of Charter-Time Warner Cable deal.
MY COMMENT: As
we can see for this recommendation, today the regulators don't care for the
negative sides of the big mergers.

This story glorifies the whole new level of intelligent
systems and sensors that rule the life of a “smart city” like Singapore
where all is under control.
MY COMMENT: Singapore
as human community is the beauty of TECHNOLOGY, why the small towns of our Rocky
Mountains are the beauty of NATURE.
There are different perspectives of how the human beings can live today in community.
What is the best? All depends of our life goals. Technology gives also the possibility to live in the middle of nothing with all the really we need to be happy and without the control of the sensors.

Deserves Another Chance
The sales and incomes of Chipotle declined in the last
quarter after the scandal for the bad food it sold in some of these branches.
MY COMMENT: Maybe
Chipotle deserves another chance for who don't care destroy their stomach, but
not for me.

This story talks about the good salaries the tech firms pay to
their employees, but it doesn’t talk about the new 12,000 employees that Intel is
planning put in the street and the bad news of recent days related to Yahoo, Lexmark and other important tech firms
with great results 5 or 10 years ago. By the way, Twitter, Microsoft, Netflix, Alphabet (father
of Google), Intel and IBM posted disappointing financial results in the last few
weeks.
MY COMMENT: Tech
firms with good incomes pay sweet salaries to their employees. The others cut
the payroll frequently and sometimes they discriminate against the older
people.

In a new advertisement, Hillary Clinton is pointing against
Donald Trump trying to put down his profile. (Irony, in the 2008 campaign of
Hillary against Barack Obama, Donald Trump was one of her donors.)
MY COMMENT: Hillary
is pointing her "missiles" against Donald Trump, but maybe there are
secret agreements between both. We don’t know.

During his new tourist trip across Europe
and Middle East, President Obama stopped in Germany
to open the 2016 Hannover Fair together with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
In that forum, Obama criticized the current steps of North
Korea.
MY COMMENT: "Obama
expresses skepticism" about North Korea,
but during his government he didn't make enough to stop the military career of
this dangerous country.

The German giant of engineering used the Obama visit to Germany
to say: “Hello, America!”
( Siemens has not problem to say: “Hello China!,
“Hello Iran!..)
MY COMMENT: Siemens
only thinks about businesses also with dangerous countries and with corrupt
practices.

The media said that the “Obama’s trip to Germany
reflects a new closeness”, while in Hannover, the
Germans received the American President with very negative demonstration. (What
really is the truth?)
MY COMMENT: This
is the last show of President Obama in Germany:
smiles that really are not smiles.

MY COMMENT: Will
Marco Rubio take vacations or what are his plans?
04/24/2016

MY COMMENT: The
hope is the last that we lose. It is good that Ted Cruz till now didn't lose
his hope to win against Donald Trump.

MY COMMENT: While Hillary is making distance from Sanders, Ted Cruz
doesn't grow in figures despite the anti-Trump movement.

MY COMMENT: The
problem of Intel is different to the situation of other technology companies.
It continues suffering the fall of the PC business and it doesn't find the way
to return to the Andy Grove's times.

During his stop in United

The protest of thousands ahead of the Obama’s visit reflects
a complete different image from the times when Barack Obama visited Germany
as presidential candidate in 2008.
MY COMMENT: The
times changed, now President Obama is not welcomed in Germany.
