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 10/30/2015 11:43:45 AM

On Inside Europe’s Migrant-Smuggling Rings :

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

On Noisy GOP Debate Leaves Republican Race Unsettled :

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

On House Elects Paul Ryan as New Speaker:

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

On Nintendo to Unveil Its First Videogame for Smartphones:

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.  
1 Recommendation 10/28/2015 03:35:13 PM

On HTC One A9 Review: Do You Believe in an Android iPhone?:

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

On Austria to Build Fence on Slovenia Border to Slow Flow of Migrants :

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 10/28/2015 02:28:35 PM

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

On U.S. Navy Tests China Over Sea Claims:

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

On Stocks Edge Lower as Oil Prices Fall and Fed Meeting Looms:

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

On Turkey Detains 30 Islamic State Suspects in Raids :

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

On When It Comes to Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and His GOP Foes Divide:

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

On Argentina Heads for Presidential Runoff in Shock Result:

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

On Mary Barra’s Road Map for GM Centers on Customer Data, Connectivity:

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

On Yahoo: The Moment of Truth Is Near :

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

On Tech Stalwarts Drive Market Surge :

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

On Donald Trump Skids for First Time in Republican Presidential Race :

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 10/24/2015 04:32:34 PM

On Russia Said to Redeploy Special-Ops Forces From Ukraine to Syria:

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

On Kerry Announces New International Meeting on Syria :

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

On Lincoln Chafee Ends Bid for Democratic Presidential Nomination:

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

On Syrian Hospitals Hit by Russian Airstrikes, Says Medical Group :

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

On For Paul Ryan, Speaker’s Role Would Bring New Challenges:

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

BLOG COMMENTS: 2015/08/14 - 2015/08/21

On Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras Resigns, Clearing Way for Elections in Bid to Uphold Bailout Deal:

MY COMMENT: Question: It this the end of Alexis Tsipras in the Greek politics?

Mr. Tsypras likes to play complicated “chess” movements.

Personally, we believe Alexis Tsipras will continue in the government with a stronger position than now. 1 Recommendation 08/20/2015 02:54:40 PM

On Urban Warfare Escalates in Turkey’s Kurdish-Majority Southeast:

MY COMMENT: Turkey versus PKK! This is a new confrontation among Turks and Kurds, but it will be not the last. 1 Recommendation 08/20/2015 02:39:02 PM

On Islamic State Claims Cairo Bomb Attack Outside Security Building:

MY COMMENT: Islamic State is targeting Egypt, but Egypt is not Syria, Iraq or Lebanon.

Today Egypt is ruled by President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, a general with resolution and fighting experience. General Al Sisi can become a serious obstacle for the ambitions of ISIS militants. 3 Recommendations 08/20/2015 01:05:29 PM

On Wang Jianlin Bumps Jack Ma as China’s Richest Person:

MY COMMENT: Irony! In China, there is a methodology to determine the richest person of the country. 

According to a new methodology, Wang Jianlin, real-estate businessman, surpassed Jack Ma, founder and chairman of Alibaba.

What about the poorest person? We think it is difficult to determine the poorest of the poor Chinese among millions. 08/20/2015 08:25:47 AM

On North and South Korea Exchange Fire:

MY COMMENT: North and South Korea always have border problems for different reasons.

The last incident was days before, when some land mines maimed two South Korea soldiers.

Till now, the exchange of fire looks like a routine incident between both Koreas.

However, the high alert of the North Korean troops is risky. Mr. Kim, the current leader of this country, is unpredictable and his people follow his capricious orders like “androids”.

International observers fear a bigger confrontation. We have to observe if the North Korean provocations continue and the reactions of South Korea. 1 Recommendation 08/20/2015 07:50:18 AM

On Islamic State Beheads Top Syrian Antiquities Scholar:

MY COMMENT: A new beheading, in this case of a Syrian scholar.

Islamic State militants are cruel barbarians, “human-butchers” and bitter enemies of the cultural roots of the Middle-East. 6 Recommendations 08/19/2015 02:25:43 PM

On Dark Clouds Loom for Airlines Even as Their Profits Take Off:

MY COMMENT: This is not an exclusive problem of the airlines of the United States.

For example, in Europe, the employees of Lufthansa have frequent conflicts with the company and the passengers suffer the consequences. 1 Recommendation 08/19/2015 02:18:50 PM

On Intel, Aiming Beyond PCs, Launches Reality TV Show:

MY COMMENT: As we know, the fall of the sales of PCs declined revenues and reduced profits in recent financial results of the semiconductor maker of Santa Clara, California.

At Intel Developer Forum 2015 (IDF) in San Francisco, this week, Intel is making a huge effort to show that is not only PC chips maker.

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich and his team are showing the unknown face of Intel with presentations of Reality TV Show, Internet of Things, Big Data, Robotics and more…

We have to see, in what way, the effort of the Intel CEO opens new business doors for the technology company in short and long term. 1 Recommendation 08/19/2015 10:41:55 AM

On Apple CarPlay Review: Siri’s Finally on the Right Road:

MY COMMENT: The review of the Apple CarPlay looks good, but the testing of this device was made driving a car in the New Jersey Turnpike.

Traveling across small towns and through local hilly roads in the Rocky Mountains, sometimes the digital devices for checking maps don’t give good information during the night in the snowing winters.

I will be interesting to know the results of several tests of the Apple CarPlay in different regions of the country with less communication infrastructure than the New Jersey Turnpike. 1 Recommendation 08/19/2015 09:40:46 AM

On Yuan’s Devaluation Brings Losses for Some:

MY COMMENT: The people who invest in countries ruled by totalitarian regimes know they are taking serious risks.

In this kind of countries, when the authorities take decisions don't care who can be damaged. They don’t have respect for foreign investors or the own citizens.

Before the devaluation, the economic environment of China was pessimist for more than a quarter.

Everybody who invested in yuan knew the regime could take a drastic decision about its currency without any official warning. 3 Recommendations 08/19/2015 05:32:48 AM

On Candidates From Both Parties Take On Planned Parenthood Controversy:

MY COMMENT: The confrontation between Republican and Democrats on Planned Parenthood controversy is growing.

And according to this story, Hillary Clinton is acting like a standard-bearer of the Planned Parenthood. 2 Recommendations 08/18/2015 02:20:18 PM

On Wal-Mart’s Outlook Cut Shows Struggle to Grow Sales:

MY COMMENT: The decision of Wal-Mart to cuts its outlook for the current quarter could be an indication that the retail sales of the season of the return of the school are weak.

Frequently, in this period of the year, the families with children in the school go to the shops and department stores to buy clothes and stuff for the school. 1 Recommendation 08/18/2015 02:06:43 PM

On U.S. Lacks Ammo for Next Economic Crisis:

MY COMMENT: During the last few years we learned about a series of Senate hearings with members of Federal Reserve without effective conclusions.

This story says; “U.S. lacks ammo for next economic crisis”. But nobody asks if Janet Yellen – Federal Reserve Chairwoman - is the right “captain” to lead the ship in stormy times.

Ms. Yellen has an extraordinary academic background, but she has not relevant experience in the financial industry. 1 Recommendation 08/18/2015 01:45:47 PM

On Chinese Officials Ramp Up Investigation Into Tianjin Explosions:

MY COMMENT: Tianjin explosions demand a serious investigation of experts in the storage of dangerous materials and security procedures.

Probably, the Tianjin explosions are consequences of a new case of corruption. 1 Recommendation 08/18/2015 01:22:41 PM

On How Money, Race and Religion Determine the Fate of Europe-Bound Migrants:

MY COMMENT: The massive invasion of immigrants of regions affected for civil wars and high levels of poverty continue creating serious problems to the European countries.

In the middle of this drama, the human traffickers who organize the trips of the immigrants make more complex the panorama.

The story asks about the factors that help or block to the immigrants: money, race, religion…

With smugglers and human traffickers is not possible to make a deal. If you have more money probably you will have more possibilities than others. But this is not guaranteed. 1 Recommendations 08/17/2015 03:27:07 PM

On IRS Says Cyberattacks More Extensive Than Previously Reported:

MY COMMENT: Every day we learn about more negligent acts of the institutions of the government that hit to the normal people.

Now IRS says the data breach is affecting more than 300,000 accounts. The point is who will repair this damage. Surely, the answer is: Nobody!

Meanwhile, the political circus continues with pork chops, helicopters and the fun like that we saw during the weekend in Iowa. 13 Recommendations 08/17/2015 03:03:33 PM

On Toxic Chemicals Found at China Blast Site:

MY COMMENT: The chemicals found in the port of Tianjin are very dangerous material. Hundreds of tons of toxic sodium cyanide are enough poison to kill thousands of people. 1 Recommendation 08/16/2015 03:19:57 PM

On Searchers Spot Wreckage of Missing Indonesian Passenger Plane:

MY COMMENT:  According to the news, the missing Indonesian passenger airplane was making a short flight across the country.

In a 42-minute flight, you can find the death. Terrible end of life!  1 Recommendation 08/16/2015 03:13:51 PM

On Protesters Call for Ouster of Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff:

MY COMMENT: The Brazilian protests are the tears of stupid people who always vote wrong.

Last year, Dilma Rousseff won a second term. And now after her 2nd victory, the people return to the street in big anti government protests.

We have to remember that months before the last year election, also the Brazilians were to the street protesting against Dilma, but in the moment of the elections, she won her second term. 6 Recommendations 08/16/2015 03:11:04 PM

On Donald Trump Says He Would Deport Illegal Immigrants:

MY COMMENT: The promise of deportation sounds similar to the Guantanamo closure. In times of elections, the candidates promise everything. 1 Recommendation 08/16/2015 02:48:41 PM

On U.S. Sees Possible Pattern in ISIS Chemical Attacks:

MY COMMENT: Islamic State is not regular state. Now, the questions are: Who will stop ISIS in the use of mustard agent? And how ISIS will be stopped?

We cannot deal with terrorists, but we have to fight against them in an effective way. 1 Recommendation 08/15/2015 09:07:48 PM

On Jeb Bush Tries to Turn Up the Heat in Republican Presidential Race in Iowa:

MY COMMENT: Till now Iowa doesn’t look well for Jeb Bush. 1 Recommendation 08/15/2015 03:40:55 PM

On What’s the Cost of Bringing Up Baby?:

MY COMMENT: We make statistics for all. This story starts with the question: “What’s the cost of bringing up Baby?” and after that it says “The Short Answer: The average household spends $12,940 on an infant.”

Personally, we think $12,940 is only a number. Somebody else can say: $12,800 or $13,000 or more or less… All depends of the social level of the parents and where they live.

The conclusion is that today is very costly to have babies and after that to send the children to the school. For this reason, a lot of couples try to avoid having children. 08/15/2015 03:18:00 PM

On Dozens of Migrants Die in Boat Accident :

MY COMMENT: During the last few years the Mediterranean Sea became a big grave of a lot of immigrants looking for new horizons.

According to the news, today at least 40 migrants died trying to cross the sea from the north of Libya to Italy.

The European leaders talk about the series of boat accidents, but nobody stops the smugglers who organize these trips.

The open question is how many more immigrants will die tomorrow, next week, next months. 2 Recommendations 08/15/2015 02:53:27 PM

On Chinese Port City Tianjin Searches for Clues After Devastating Blasts:

On China Cybersecurity Fears Prompt Business Groups to Press Obama:

MY COMMENT: President Obama and Xi Jinping met together in different opportunities with few important results.

On Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton Keep Their Jabs to Each Other:

MY COMMENT: This story says “Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton Keep Their Jabs to Each Other”. 

Jeb Bush versus Hillary Clinton is the ‘formula” that Wall Street Journal and other media are trying to push for the primary.

However, after the first Republican debate and the strong campaign of Sanders from the Democratic side, it is early to say who will be the rivals of the 2016 primary.

On When a Smart Home Is Too Smart for its Own Good:

MY COMMENT: When something is very smart, it is because there are microprocessors and computers behind the “intelligence” (of the houses, cars or tools).

In all the cases, the problems come when the chips fail or the programs have “bugs”.

Personally, I like to watch movies that show smart homes with systems that control everything, but for my home, I prefer to have the control of everything: lighting, temperature, music and security. I don’t want technology acts as my jail guard. 1 Recommendation 08/09/2015 01:53:53 PM

MY COMMENT: After the first debris from the MH370 was identified, Malaysia says it is willing to expand the search. It is asking for help to Australia and China.

Australia was the first that made a serious effort to find the airplane. China never made an important action.

Like this story remarks, Australia spent 76 million Australian dollars (US$55 million.). Malaysia only spent A$40 million and China didn’t contributed with funds.

It will be good that Malaysia and China expand the search around Réunion Island immediately. The families of the victims – Chinese and non-Chinese – are waiting for answers. 08/07/2015 07:18:56 AM

On GOP Candidates Hold Raucous Debate:

MY COMMENT: Till now it looks like the others have fear to touch Trump, “The Giant”. But if somebody hits Trump hard, the “David” will be the winner. 4 Recommendations 08/07/2015 05:57:22 AM

On New York Sen. Schumer Joins Opposition to Iran Nuclear Deal:

MY COMMENT: The position of Sen. Chuck Schumer against the Iran nuclear deal put down all the arguments of President Obama defending the agreement that his administration signed with Iran.

Probably, the opposition of a prominent Democrat like Schumer is the worst slap in his face that received Barack Obama in the last times. 3 Recommendations 08/07/2015 01:48:00 AM
