Dangerous Game

Not even 100 days in office, and Mr. Trump keeps working on his swing...

Unfortunately, the stakes are way too high...


Tuesday, February 7, 2017

Priorities...

The new President has shown which are the issues that really capture his attention...

Unbelievable...


Sunday, February 5, 2017

...And he will leave no trace...

Every new executive order signed by the new President is aimed to destroy the legacy of Barak Obama... will he succeed?

Affordable Health
Climate Change
Immigration
Financial Regulations
Environmental Protection
Social Liberties
Women Rights
Free Trade

Amd the list keeps growing...





The Bull in the China Store...

After two weeks into the Trump Administration, it is evident that the proverbial saying "A bull in a china store " is taking more and more relevancy...

Scary...

Executive Orders...

In less than a week, Trump has managed to destroy the USA long lasting reputation as the "land of opportunity"...

The words by Emma Lazarus inscribed at the base of the Statue of Liberty are no longer a beacon of hope...

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

As Mr, Trump usually says in his tweets... SAD

TRUMP: The First Day


A quick glance at the first meetings that probably took place at the Oval Office...




















Size Matters: Crowds at Washington DC

Even though the presidential campaign is over, the new US President is still obsessed with the size of the crowd attending his inauguration...  that was his main priority on day one of his administration (!).

it is evident he can summon large crowds... no doubt about that... by this past weekend, it was clear that more people gathered to protest against his policies than to show his support... and even if he does not like this, this is a REAL fact... not an "alternative fact"...

Good for the Women's March!

Harsh Reality

Life sometimes can be very unfair...

After 8 years of building an amazing legacy, what will remain once the new President (!) takes office?

As everybody says these days... we have to wait and see...




Leasing Opportunity

What happens to you private plane when you become President of the USA?

Unprecedented... 🙃

TRUMP Inauguration... 5 days to go

There are many words to describe president elect Trump...

Here are the ones that come faster to our mind...

The world is entering an age of uncertainty... "Let's wait and see" seems to be the only feasible response from everybody at this time... Be afraid, be very afraid...

USA Election in one Image

Well, one image is worth a thousand words...

The picture taken at the White House the day after Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, depicts the best summary of one of the lowest and dirtiest campaigns in American history...

As everyone is saying, "Let's wait and see..."

Happy New Year!

Juan Manuel Santos, Premio Nobel de la Paz

Santos recibe el premio del instituto Nobel, no por alcanzar La Paz, sino por sus esfuerzos en lograr un acuerdo... La Paz es una  meta que solo se conseguirà cuando en Colombia la justicia y el respeto por los demás dejen de ser conceptos teóricos...

Este premio sin duda es el triunfo de la esperanza sobre la experiencia...

Acuerdo de Paz: Segundo Intento

Hoy 24 de Noviembre de 2016, se realizó un nuevo acto para la firma de la versión revisada del Acuerdo de Paz en Colombia...

Menos despliegue que en la primera oportunidad...

 Nuevamente los ojos del mundo están sobre Colombia... será que esta vez se podrá Avanzar hacia la tan anhelada Paz?

Amanecerá y veremos...

Trump's First Act of Government?

The USA is entering a dark period of its history...

And it is doing it willingly!

Let's all be afraid...

TRUMP: The 45th US President...

"May we live in interesting times..."

The world enters a new chapter of total uncertainty...

Colombia Tierra de Contrastes...

No, no se trata de una frase para promocionar el turismo en nuestro país... es una dura realidad.

Cuando vi esta foto en internet, mi primera reacción fue pensar que se trataba de un montaje... pero no... era real.

La portada del periódico El Heraldo de Barranquilla, resume en dos noticias la triste realidad colombiana... mientras El Pesidente Santos brinda con la reina Isabel en Londres, la crisis humanitaria de la Guajira parece no tener solución...

Ay país, país, país...


The Emperor New Clothes...

This is definitely one of the classic tales...

Let's hope the real story will have the same ending!


What if?

Trump President?

This cartoon was published in Los Angeles Times last year... it was not funny then and it's definitely not funny now...

It is scary but powerful... no other words are necessary..

Please, America... wake up!





Saturday, November 5, 2016

Decisions, decisions...

It all comes down to this...

It shouldn't be so difficult, should it?


Pre-election Mood...

Just three days to go... and the race is really tight...

How do Democrats feel?

Ellection 2016: The Turning Point

USA Elections

This has been probably the dirtiest presidential campaign in the US history...

And the final decision will have to made soon... will American return to their senses and choose the best candidate? It is mind blowing to see that the race is so close, given that choosing between a qualified, experienced, accomplished and smart woman and a misogynist, deceiving, racist, egotistical Buffoon, shouldn't be so hard...

We will see...




Thursday, October 20, 2016

Presidential?

After watching the last debate, it is more than evident which candidate is really fit to be president...

Let's hope America will make the right Choice...

Cartoon Character

This campaign keeps resembling more a Comic Book than real life...

Is Trump the new "Incredible Sel Destructing Hero"?  It seems that way...






Tuesday, October 11, 2016

Locker Room Talk?

Well, the Circus goes on...

Will the GOP keep supporting a candidate that openly brags about sexual assault and dismiss it as "Locker Room Talk"?

Wake up, America... there is still time!

Scary Clowns Craze...

Watch out for the scary clowns... they are about to take over the world!







Who won the Debate?

Hillary chose not to engage in Donald Trump's game... and this is probably why she won the Debate...

"When they go Low, we go High"... way to go!

The Second Presidential Debate

If everything happens according to plan, Trump will keep digging his own hole during tonight's Presidential Debate...

As Republicans say, "Let's Trump be Trump"... That will do it!

It is only a matter of time...

TRUMP: On a self destruction path?

Will the latest episode in the Trump saga be his final demise?

Many republicans are jumping ship!

We will see what will happen during the next debate...

Let's make America Great? Sure...

Unbelievable...

Santos gana el Nobel de Paz

Despues de una semana de incertidumbre, esta es sin duda una noticia que trae consigo un nuevo aire de optimismo.

Con este reconocimiento queda claro que la comunidad internacional entendió que Colombia le dijo NO al proceso pero SI a la posibilidad de Paz...

Y toda ayuda para que esto sea una realidad es bienvenida!

El Nuevo Plebiscito

Después de la sorpresiva victoria del NO, Colombia entró en un periodo de incertidumbre del cual no sabemos cómo vamos a salir...

Sin embargo, esta situación ha precipitado situaciones que todos habíamos esperado por mucho tiempo...

Será posible que el nuestros "líderes" pongan primero los intereses de la nación y después sus gigantescos egos?

Veremos...

NO: Clientes Exigentes?

En una democracia, la mayoría es la que escoge...

Y en el caso de la votación del Plebiscito, es claro que se requerirán cambios en el menú...

Los Resultados del Plebiscito

Reflexiones acerca del Plebiscito

El NO obtuvo 6.431.376 votos (49.78%) mientras que el SI obtuvo 6.377.482 votos (49.78%)... Con una diferencia de 53.864 votos, la polarización no puede ser más profunda.

Sin embargo, el hecho de que la Abstención fue del 62.57 % es tal ves el punto mas preocupante... solo 1 de cada 3 personas ejerció su derecho democrático... pero es precisamente así como funciona la democracia.

No ganaron "los enemigos de la Paz" como se ha etiquetado a quienes no apoyan este Acuerdo con las FARC. Ganó el deseo de alcanzar Paz, pero sin sacrificar la Justicia... es ingenuo pensar que una paz con impunidad puede ser "estable y duradera". Y ese es el mensaje que estos resultados le han enviado al Presidente Santos...

Como lo dijo Churchill, "Una Paz a cualquier costo es una Guerra perdida de antemano"...

Que viene ahora? Mantener la calma, dejar de lado las pasiones y demostrar cual es la voluntad real de Paz que tiene TODO el país...




El Verdadero Reto...

Gane el que gane, el reto que enfrenta Colombia ahora es demostrar realmente cual es la voluntad de paz que existe después de la firma del acuerdo...

Colombia es una sola!


Aleppo is Burning...

The Syrian regime keeps pounding Aleppo with the help of Russia... the bombings have killed innocent children, and the world keeps turning a blind eye...

Will this nonsense, absurd bloodshed ever come to an end?

Osuna: Otra Vision

La visión del caricaturista Hector Osuna en el Espectador...

El costo de la Paz?




PAZ...

Octubre 2, 2016...

Esperamos que sea una fecha memorable... Colombia se lo merece!


The Ignorance of the Candidates...

This campaign is definitely not a conventional one...

At least Gary Johnson is honest about what he doesn't know...

 Can you imagine if Mr. Trump did the same?






Es Posible La Paz?

Plebiscito del 2 de Octubre

Mañana los colombianos ejercemos nuestro derecho en las urnas para refrendar el Acuerdo de Paz... si bien es claro que todavía hay una gran polarización entre el SI el NO, lo que se hace cada vez más evidente es que todos los colombianos soñamos con un país sin conflicto... sin embargo, no podemos olvidar que la verdadera paz solo será posible si TODOS tenemos la misma voluntad y trabajamos juntos para hacerla posible... la firma del acuerdo es solo el primer paso... el camino de aquí en adelante no será fácil, pero es la única opción viable que tenemos... 

No importa si su voto es por el SI o por el NO, lo importante es no desaprovechar la oportunidad histórica que tenemos...

In the not so Distant Future...

There are certain scenes from the classic movies that had a powerful impact on us...

The closing scene of the original "Planet of the Apes" is one of those... we should ask all Millennials we know to watch it again... the stakes are too high!

Las Opciones del Plebiscito

El próximo 2 de Octubre es la fecha en la cual los colombianos decidirán si apoyan o no el Acuerdo de Paz recientemente firmado entre el Gobierno de Juan Manuel Santos y las FARC...

La forma en que el Gobierno ha manipulado todo el proceso ha sido tan hábil, que cada día el SI tiene más adeptos... Y no es necesariamente porque votar por él NO sea votar en contra de la Paz... Lo que pasa es que el único camino que presenta alguna opción es el del SI.

Qué pasa si gana el SÍ? Se le está dando una oportunidad a Colombia...un camino que sin duda no será tan rosado como lo pinta el Gobierno y donde se pondrá a prueba la verdadera voluntad de paz de todos los protagonistas del conflicto.

Qué pasa si gana el NO? Nadie lo sabe...

Así pues, la pregunta del plebiscito es como cuando uno está en la peluquería y el peluquero le pregunta: "así? o más largo?"...

Como dice otro dicho popular... Amanecerá y veremos...

Crossing the Lines

Since The begining of his Campaign, Donald Trump has been crossing all sorts of lines... Insulting immigrants, veterans, people with discapacities, Muslims, African Americans... The list is endless

And yet, every time he crosses a new line, his support grows stronger...

Will America wake up?

9-11... 15 Years Later

A senseless tragedy that changed the world and became a turning  point in the modern era...

And 15 years later, it is evident that the world is not getting a break... Will we ever learn?




Saturday, September 10, 2016

La Pregunta Honrada...

Del genial caricaturista Hector Osuna...

Esta realmente es la pregunta que se debería hacer en el plebiscito...





La Tercera Opción...

Polarización, discusiones, intolerancia...

Sin duda, no es el terreno más apropiado para "alcanzar" la paz...

Sea cual sea el resultado del plebiscito, el sentimiento de TODOS los colombianos es el mismo...






Friday, September 2, 2016

Divide y Reinaras...

Estamos a poco más de un mes del plebiscito...

Cómo lograr que un país cada día más polarizado puede algún día vivir en Paz?

Craving for Attention...

Since day 1, everything that Trump does or say, has only one purpose... To keep him in the headlines... He craves attention as a junkie craves the next shot...

It does not matter who he will insult next... All he wants is to be the centre of the discussion...

Will America wake up?
