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.

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...]
Nasty Women Vote
Yesterday, this “Nasty Women” did early voting. I hope that for all of the number of documents WikiLeaks keeps putting out there about Clinton, they would do the same on Trump. I ask myself; why have they not done it yet? Maybe that could give our nation a true perspective of the "dark ages" we may be heading towards when Trump wins. Yesterday RT Media reported [i]that Assange comments about the WikiLeaks publishing on Clinton emails “is not the interference of electoral process, this is the definition of electoral process – for media organizations and, in fact, everyone to publish the truth and their opinion about what is occurring. It cannot be free and informed elections unless people are free to inform” he said. If this is true, why then WikiLeaks does not … [Read more...]
