@Javier_Corral@RuffoAppel Me sorprende enormemente la detención de Javier Corral, de quien - discrepancias aparte -, siempre he tenido la concepción de una persona honesta, íntegra, un hombre de bien.
No conozco la causa que lo imputa, ni siquiera sabía de una investigación en su contra. No podría ...
@MiguelMezaC@SomosMxMexico El problema es que no hay forma de saber si es culpable o no. Lo persiguen adversarios políticos y ellos mismos lo juzgaran. La Justicia al servicio de la política. En México el 99% de los delitos queda impune. 95% ni siquiera se denuncien.
🚨 Se filtra un video de cinco minutos que recopila presuntas jugadas polémicas a favor de Argentina frente a Inglaterra.
La grabación, que circula ampliamente en redes sociales, ha desatado un intenso debate entre aficionados, con usuarios que califican el contenido como un "escándalo mundial" y reavivan la rivalidad histórica entre ambas selecciones.
🚨David Beckham on England’s World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina:
🗣️ “You only have to look at the faces of the England supporters to understand how painful this is. They’re frustrated, they’re heartbroken and they’re asking questions about some of the biggest moments in the game.
There are decisions that England will feel deserved a closer look, and I understand why emotions are running high. In a World Cup semi-final, every incident is magnified because one moment can change everything.
The players gave everything, but the referee decided who he wants to win tonight,Argentina scored and offside goal,they were violent on the pitch with no intentions to play the ball.
Tonight the players will leave feeling that some crucial moments didn’t fall their way and maybe Argentina was favoured again tonight. That’s the hardest part to accept after you’ve fought for every ball.
*Whether people agree or disagree with the officials, this match will be debated for a long time. England will feel they had a real chance of reaching the final, and that’s why this defeat hurts so much.”
This was just brilliant. The smear campaign against Kavanaugh was the dirtiest, slimiest, scummiest, most diabolical thing we have ever seen in DC.
And Democrats may have gotten away with it if not for this epic 4-minute rant from Lindsay Graham. 🔥
The first time I met Lindsey Graham, I was 11 years old in a hotel lobby and he had just attended a political event with my Dad. He sat down next to me and told me that he loved my Dad. I remember liking his deep southern accent and smile and immediately felt comfortable around him - he somehow seemed younger, hipper and more interesting than most of the political figures that rotated around my Dads orbit.
From the time he met my Dad they were fast friends and political comrades. In fact there are few memories I have of my Dad's political career and my life accompanying it that don't somehow involve Lindsey. He and Senator Joe Lieberman spent decades of their lives traveling together, fighting for the same causes on the Senate floor, spending holidays together and fighting for their version of the American dream. Those who followed them know they affectionately referred to each other as "The Three Amigos". My Dad was the soul of the group, Joe was the heart of the group and Lindsey was the fire and humor. Their combination bonded them as friends throughout their lives. That friendship is something that is so rare in politics, it is nearly extinct but I got to witness it first hand. They spent their lives united as friends and allies. They were brothers.
The memories I will hold dear of Lindsey is that was always the person you hoped you sat next to at a dinner party. Charming, very, very, very funny - like so funny he truly could have had a career in stand up comedy. He had an acerbic quick wit and he could win over even his deepest distractors. He was always full of stories that were always engaging and entertaining. He was literally never, ever boring. At his best he was filled with light and was always the last person to leave any table for work or fun. In fact, I used to joke with my Dad that I couldn't go out to dinner with him and my Dad as an adult unless I didn't have work the next day because they would always stay so long at the table and shut down the restaurant. Lindsey and my dad were also both Hams and would take every selfie, talk to every waiter and person in the place. Life around them was a big and alive in every possible way humans can be.
Lindsey brought humor and loyalty to my Dad's political defeats and was a constant source of support for my mother after my Dad's passing. As a politician his skills were unmatched which is why he won so many elections and was well on his way to winning another. When he spoke to voters he was direct, straight and felt their pain. He also loved people. He wasn’t one of those politicians who had to fake it, he loved being in elected office and serving our country.
The news of his sudden passing is shocking and deeply saddening for me and my family. Like many relationships in life, mine with Lindsey was complex in later years. I choose to remember the endless laughter and joy he brought to my family so many times, in so many ways. These memories are some of the most precious of my life. I hope that he is at peace and I hope he is in heaven drinking a white russian and fishing with my Dad and Joe.
"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." — Philippians 1:21
"Laura and I were saddened to wake up to the shocking news of Senator Lindsey Graham's death. He was a knowledgeable Senator who understood how the world works and how important America's international engagement is to resist tyranny. He was a kind and funny man who loved our country and loved serving it. South Carolina was fortunate to have such a committed public servant in its corner. And I was fortunate to have known Lindsey Graham."

La democracia no muere cuando los políticos mienten. Eso ha ocurrido siempre.
Empieza a morir cuando desaparecen los contrapesos y el único elemento capaz de otorgar legitimidad termina siendo el censo.
Léame mañana.
En este video, María Elena Orantes se presenta como "embajadora y cónsul de México en Houston". Lo grabó en Chiapas el 9 de julio, dos días después del asesinato del mexicano Lorenzo Salgado en Houston. Hace 20 horas, seguía desarrollando su agenda social en Chiapas como si nada. ¿A esto llama @SRE_mx dar "máxima prioridad" a la defensa/protección de los mexicanos?

You believed. You filled stadiums. You brought the game into homes and communities across the country.
Most of all, you showed everyone what this crest means. Thank you.
El segundo periodo histórico de reducción de pobreza ocurrió entre 1996 y 2006, después de la crisis económica de 1994–1995. Tras ese choque, México logró restablecer una tendencia de reducción de pobreza.
El punto de partida fue la estabilidad macroeconómica. Se logró reducir la inflación de niveles superiores al 50 % a menos de 4 %, se mantuvo la disciplina fiscal y se fortaleció el sistema financiero.

Petro no perdió solo por ideología ni por campaña digital de De la Espriella. Perdió porque convirtió la sucesión en un referéndum sobre sí mismo y lo perdió por 0,95 puntos.
Cuando un presidente en funciones entra de lleno a la cancha (anuncia que se pone “al frente”, gira, marca tarjetón, cuestiona el preconteo) deja de ser árbitro y se vuelve la pregunta invisible de la papeleta. El elector ya no compara dos candidatos: vota continuidad o castigo, adhesión o rechazo, orden o revancha.
La Espriella lo entendió mejor que nadie. No necesitaba ser más técnico que Cepeda ni más institucional que el uribismo clásico. Solo necesitaba volverse el vehículo más nítido del antipetrismo. Su promesa elemental (orden, patria, mano dura, ruptura) sonó más convincente en una democracia fatigada que las explicaciones correctas pero complejas del oficialismo.
Petro creyó que transfería capital político. Lo que activó fue el rechazo acumulado. En contextos polarizados, el incumbente con alta intensidad personaliza tanto el éxito como el castigo. Esa es la física electoral de esta elección: dos bloques casi idénticos a 2022, pero quien logró que la urna tratara sobre el otro, ganó.
Hemos terminado el proceso de votación y preconteo de la segunda vuelta para la elección de Presidente de la República.
De acuerdo con el preconteo informado por la Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil, el presidente electo es Abelardo de la Espriella. Continúa ahora el proceso de escrutinio previsto en la normatividad electoral.
En este contexto, vale la pena recordar que el pluralismo ideológico constituye una riqueza de la democracia. Quien obtiene el triunfo electoral no gobernará contra quienes pierden la elección, sino para todas y todos los colombianos. El Presidente de la República representa la unidad nacional.
La tarea más grande que tenemos por delante es unirnos desde nuestra riqueza y diversidad cultural y política para reafirmar el respaldo a los consensos fundamentales de nuestra Constitución en torno al Estado social de derecho y los derechos humanos.

Fmr US Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar:
“ 'AMLO is a changed man,' (the Whisperer) warned me"
" 'He's very concerned about info the US will get from 'El Mayo' (Zambada)' "
"As if the powerful & entrenched capo might spill the beans on any number of Mexican public officials"
Ganaron el doctor Abelardo de la Espriella y el doctor José Manuel Restrepo
a Iván Cepeda que tuvo el apoyo de la campaña ilegal del gobierno de Gustavo Petro, la compra de votos y la imposición de los grupos narcoterroristas que obligaron a muchas comunidades a votar por Cepeda. Estamos seguros que el doctor De la Espriella hará un gobierno de recuperación democrática, útil para todos los colombianos.
No podemos permitir más trampas del Petro-Chavismo
