Parte un Gigante, Valentín Pimstein.
Eran las ocho de la noche, y el olor a buñuelos que cocinaba Glo, llegaba hasta los pies de la puerta de mi recamara. Rápidamente, tomaba mis pantuflas y desde el segundo piso, recorría las escaleras apresuradamente hacia las cocina. Glo, Carmen, Olegario, Erika suspiraban viendo el televisora, mis hermanos sentados, agitando los platos, estaban listos para la merienda. Por otro lado, sin saber por qué el sollozo de los adultos, tome mi lugar en la pequeña mesa antes del antecomedor, el olor del pinole llenaba las paredes de la cocina, enfrente de la isla se encontraba una repisas, en ella un televisor. “La telenovela Rina continuara en breve”, decía una voz desde la pantalla.

NO HATE – Time to work
The elections are finally over, and we have a new President, Donald Trump. Whatever you thought it might not happen, happened. A candidate outside of the political arena won and became the most powerful man on earth. Regardless if you are a liberal, conservative or non-partisan you have to agree, the comparisons cannot be made with Donald Trump and any other President, such a candidate has never been seen in the history of the United States nor any other country. The Electoral College added up and the results were clear, Mr. Trump became the 45th President, even if the majority of the popular votes brought Clinton as the favorite for more than 48% vs. 47%. The election is done, but not the work that is a head. Now what? Marching against the electoral college’s vote’s results … [Read more...]
¿Visita decente de Trump a México? Diálogos de Sordos eso, que ni qué.
No tengo ni palabras decentes para describir lo que paso el día de ayer. Trate de recordar todo el día, cuál de los candidatos a la Presidencia de los Estados Unidos halla sido invitado oficialmente por algún Presidente de México durante nuestra historia de diplomacia entre ambos países, las visitas oficiales si se encuentran resgistradas (1). Durante todos estos años, han ido varios representantes de visita, como Reagan a México cuando era precandidato al partido Republicano, siendo todavía Gobernador de California – y donde mi padre (Ariel Ramos Guzmán) lo conoció por primera vez, en el Aeropuerto de la Ciudad de México, donde solito esperaba su avión de regreso a casa. Pero nunca, bienvenidos OFICIALMENTE por alguna delegación del SRE (2) y menos por Presidente de la … [Read more...]
