Dear Friends:
Seven days ago, we
talked about the “Trump Explosive Start”. During the second week of the new Washington administration, the stormy winds declined.
However, some initiatives of the President showed us that till now the ground
looks unstable under our feet.
Peggy Noonan, famous
columnist of WSJ wrote several days ago: “We are living through big history and
no one here knows where it’s going or how this period ends. Everyone, left,
right and center, feels the earth is unsteady under their feet. Too much is
happening. Democratic senators boycott confirmation hearings, Iran tests ballistic missiles, President Trump
has testy phone calls with prime ministers…” (Posted by WSJ with the title of “In
Trump’s Washington, Nothing Feels Stable” Feb 2, 2017)
By the way, the most
important news of the week was the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch for
the Justice Scalia’s vacant seat in the U.S. Supreme Court.
In relation with this Trump’s nomination, David Brooks, political columnist of The New
York Times affirmed: “Clearly qualified, first-rate legal scholar, first-rate
judge, first-rate mind, apparently a first-rate person. He’s what any — the
best any Republican president would have done. So, I thought a very good pick
for Donald Trump.”
Next, you can read some of my comments posted during the
last week in the blog of Wall Street Journal and the reactions of the members
of the Journal Community.
IMPORTANT: Frequently, I use my blog comments in WSJ and Twitter
to “test” the opinion of my readers in both media. In Wall Street Journal, the
“Recommendations” reflect the “Like” points of the readers. In Facebook and
Twitter, the readers vote through the “Like” button. The different between Twitter and WSJ is that
WSJ/Journal Community is “closed community” where only a small group of people
can vote.

Poisoning in Moscow
(This story talks
about a Russian journalist that was poised two times in Russia and now he is dying.)
It is the risk to
open a lot your mouth in countries that are not democratic.
In some of these
countries, they poison you. In others, they cut your head or they torture till
you fall dead in dirty floor of a cell full of “devils”.

Now, the 170 years
of hostility between both countries is slapping Mexicans due to they didn't use
the recent U.S. friendship in the right direction.
The Mexicans cry
because they never learned to act as adults in the relationships with the
neighbor of the North.

Senate Republican
leader Mitch McConnell has the right to act with independence from the White
House.
But the media likes
to show disagreement, differences, quarrel instead of showing the positive side
of the government actions.

Who can guarantee
that criminals like the Colombian rebels will become good people?
What will be the new
business of these rebels?
The Colombian rebels
with a new face of "peaceful and good people" have all the resources
and legal frame to start a new rich drug industry.
Maybe, President
Santos will be the new partner. (?)

And who weakened our
position in front to the Iranian regime during the last few years?
Everybody knows that
the openness of Barack Obama and John Kerry for the Iranians was more than the
normal.

This is only the

We have to see if he

The news says "U.S. added a robust 227,000 jobs in
January". Are you talking about the "robust jobs" of $7/hour or
$8/hour?

continue with their military plans and terrorist activities because till now
nobody stopped them. They want to be one of the powers of the world.

From my perspective,
Betsy DeVos is a wrong “experiment” of President Trump. She doesn’t have
previous real experience in education.
Independently of all
the considerations, you cannot lead teachers if you cannot talk with them the
same "language". The same that you cannot solve medical issues if you
are not a doctor or you cannot lead troops to a victory if you don't have
military background.
The
"experiments" in education, military and healthcare with people who
don't have knowledge about these 3 critical issues normally don't work.

The problems between
Middle East Christians and Muslims exceed the Trump initiatives.
When they are
majority, the Muslims always have excuses to act against Christians because
they are not tolerant with other religions.

The Trump's immigration
order came as reaction of a previous weak attitude in relation with illegal
