Dear Friends:
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 March
9 to April 4.
These comments were
published before Tuesday March 5, key day of the Wisconsin battle for the nomination of the Republican
and Democrat candidates for the presidential election next November.
This series of BLOG
COMMENTS include comments about the American politics, Europe and the rest of the world plus opinions related
to economy and technology issues.
As you can see for
the RECOMMENDATIONS, the majority of these comments generated a good reaction
of other members of the Journal Community.
Please see the high
number of recommendations that the COMMENTS about the President Obama’s visit
to Cuba generated.
Important: Some of the comments were rewritten
according to the summary of news.

The new
Hewlett-Packard of personal computer and printer is expected to unveil
the thinnest laptop on the market.
MY COMMENT: During decades, HP grew through the path of
innovation, despite a series of wrong steps of the last few years.
The analysts are
interesting to see personally the laptop that Hewlett-Packard says: it will be
“the thinnest laptop on the market”.

MY COMMENT: As we know, Suu Kyi won the elections in Myanmar, but the military remains like the strong
power of the country.
The new government,
a mix of democracy and dictatorship, will not help to Sue Kyi in her ambitions
to lead Myanmar for the path of freedom and human rights.

MY COMMENT: Greece is trying to stop the massive migration of
refugees from Middle

but Europe cannot open its doors to everybody.

MY COMMENT: The ISIS
militants are going to the university to learn how to produce explosives for

Trump’s Unfavorable Ratings
“Donald Trump speech

MY COMMENT: The terrorist threat will not stop with more

If we deconstruct the
military treaty with Europe, we will start an isolation process.
04/02/2016 11:31:02 PM 3 Recommendations
MY SECOND COMMENT
ANSWERING TO ANOTHER JOURNAL MEMBER:
We have to recreate
NATO for the right way. NATO, ONU, EU and other international
alliances and communities don't work effectively because they include a lot of
members that they don't have common principles and resources to
work together in a balanced way.
Maybe, in the case of the NATO, we have to put tough conditions to force that everybody acts in a responsible way and all the members share costs.

in an WSJ opinion column: “Congress rarely revises or repeals outdated
legislation or obsolete programs”.

Greatest Triumph
WSJ columnist Daniel
Henninger wrote about Obama: “He is six months away from destroying both the
Republican Party and Reagan’s legacy.”
As part of his
opinion column, also Daniel Henninger describes the Republican candidates in a
graphical mode.
MY COMMENT: In this moment, the American politics
environment is shaking...
Barack Obama made
more than destroying the Republican Party and the Reagan’s legacy. He is destroying
the trust in the American political system that ruled the country during
centuries.
Daniel: Your “paint”
of Trump and Cruz is great: “Donald
Trump, a political independent who is using the Republican Party like an
Uber car; Ted
Cruz, who used the Republican Party as a footstool…”

candidates.
If Ted Cruz suffers
a defeat, this will be the “good bye” for the current GOP establishment.

people. As consequence, these people changed the way to spend money and make
shopping.

MY COMMENT: The new microprocessors designed to mimic the
way the brain works are the results a long road of continuous tech advances,

MY COMMENT: During the last decade, the Brazilians
thought that Brazil was climbing to the top of the hill of progress and national
greatness.
They believed that Brazil can be one of the big powers of the world.
They didn’t realize that they were climbing to the top of the corruption
hill.
Now, the
consequences are evident: high corruption across of the "aisles" of
its political institutions and the fall of the dreams of the best nation of “O
Globo”.

They came to the new
Europe looking for peace, progress and a better
life in freedom.
03/24/2016 05:23:26 PM 3 Recommendations
MY COMMENT: Donald Trump survives attacks because the
establishment didn’t offer effective solutions to the political sickness of the
country during years.
Today all the GOP
candidates that represented the establishment are dead. Ted Cruz is also rebel
against the establishment.
The difference
between Trump and Cruz is the marketing apparatus of Trump and the power of his
money.

MY COMMENT: Surely, President Dilma Rousseff and former

03/23/2016 01:14:57 PM 3 Recommendations
MY COMMENT: It is an irony that President Obama condemns Brussels from Cuba, a world factory of terrorists.

Descend on Trump Tower in NYC
MY COMMENT: The New York protest against Donald Trump is a serious
warning. We are losing the democratic behavior to decide our destiny through
the voting.
The protests from
