BLOG COMMENTS: Polarization...



Dear Friends:

After the five first weeks of government, NBS posted a series of polls related to the new White House administration.

1. President Trump’s approval:
1.1. Total:
1.1.1. Approve: 44%
1.1.2. Disapprove: 48%

1.2. 18 to 34-year-olds:
1.2.1. Approve: 34%
1.2.2. Disapprove: 58%

1.3. 50 to 64-year-olds:
1.3.1. Approve: 51%
1.3.2. Disapprove: 41%


2. Approval of the Temporary Travel Ban:
2.1. Total:
2.1.1. Necessary: 44%
2.1.2. Unnecessary: 45%

2.2. 18 to 34-year-olds:
2.2.1. Necessary: 31%
2.2.2. Unnecessary: 59%

2.3. 50 to 64-year-olds:
2.3.1. Necessary: 56%
2.3.2. Unnecessary: 35%

Meanwhile, the journalist Gerald F. Seib from WSJ wrote: “…Mr. Trump stands as an exceptionally polarizing figure. He inspires intense support among his admirers and equally intense animosity among his detractors, with remarkably few Americans standing in the middle without a strong view.  Everybody appears to have an opinion about Donald Trump…” (“As Donald Trump Heads to Congress, a New Polarization Is Hardening” Feb. 27, 2017)

In the bottom of this column, I added my opinion: “Polarization before, polarization now! We– the Americans – are divided from long time ago. Do you not remember the political geography in the Obama’s cycle?”

By the way, hours before that President Trump will make his first speech to a joint session of Congress, everybody talks about the deeply division of the country and also the own difficulties of new DNC chairman Tom Perez to rebuild the Democratic Party.



Next, you can read more about my last comments in the blog of the WSJ – Journal Community during the last days.

(If you don’t know about Snap (“the unsocial social network”), you will learn soon after this technology company starts to deal its stocks in the Wall Street market.

This week, Snap makes its first public offer of $22 billion, a lot of money for the builder of a "virtual world" that till now is in process.

Here, you have my opinion about the Internet player that is gaining a lot of fans among teenagers and with the ambition to be the new “Facebook”.)

Snap looks like the “model” of the new society of individuals that only think and feel through a mobile screen.

Polarization before, polarization now!

We– the Americans – are divided from long time ago.

Do you not remember the political geography in the Obama’s cycle?

(After the murder of his own brother, Kim Jong Un continued with the series of executions of more military officials.)


North Korean leader Kim Jong Un kills his senior officials with antiaircraft guns for “false reports”. 

With this criterion, how many top officials have to die for “false news” in the western countries?

The ceremony of the 2017 Oscars was a mess with high political tone.

Through this event, Hollywood gave a gloomy image of the film industry.

Serious questions after the last week convention of the Democratic Party:

Is the new head of the Democrats a signal of the comeback of the establishment? 

Can Tom Perez unify the Democrat Party?

The left-wing of the party didn’t win, but it made a good election.

Huawei is not a company from today. It is a tech player that grew step by step jumping difficult hurdles due to the American blocking. Really, it is one of the heroes of the Chinese digital miracle.

(The columnist Peggy Noonan wrote: “If Democrats have a brain in their head, they’ll let Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch sail through the Senate. He’s too attractive. He has been frank and respectful in his meetings with them. He’s been candid about the man who nominated him, Donald Trump, to the reported irritation of the president. He is a thinker of clear conservative leanings who cannot be painted as radical because he’s radical as warm milk. His decisions tend to be plain, direct yet highly literate; in one he diagramed a sentence. He’s a friendly persuader with a serious intellectual background (Marshall Scholar at Oxford) and personal dignity. “)

My comment:

We can expect more quakes during 2017, because Democrats have not a brain in their head till now.

(The columnist Ted Van Dyk wrote: “Donald Trump has been in office barely a month, and already Capitol Hill Democrats and liberal commentators are plotting his removal from office. A typical headline asked: “How Can We Get Rid of Trump?”

“You can’t. Mr. Trump was fairly elected to a four-year term, which he will serve unless legitimate grounds emerge for impeachment. It’s time to move from 24-hour rage to serious consideration of the president’s policy proposals and, where appropriate, offering alternatives”. )

My comment:

"Fellow Democrats", your effort to destroy the President is a possible massive suicide of you.

For decades, Belarus was very close to Moscow. A movement away of Putin's orbit could be the start of a new military conflict.

Illegal immigrants who came to the country 20 years ago had a lot of time to normalize their life according to the immigration laws.

(According to the story, some Texas Republicans don’t want to build a “wall” across private properties of the border with Mexico.)

My comment:

Advanced technology systems with digital cameras, control panels and drones for the monitoring of the border are better than classic walls.

The fact is the undocumented immigrants broke the law and probably they committed other crimes like the counterfeit of personal identifications.

A lot of the illegals come from countries with corrupt practices where near nobody respect the own laws and regulations.
