On This Day in Metal July 13, 1984

Eddie Van Halen made a surprise guest appearance with Michael Jackson during The Jacksons’ Victory Tour at Texas Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

He stepped onstage to perform the legendary guitar solo for “Beat It,” marking the one and only time these two music icons ever performed the song together live.

A truly unforgettable moment in rock and pop history.

El mexicano Diego Reyna que estuvo en Venezuela reporta: “Ya llegué a México y les puedo decir todo lo que no podía hablar adentro... Están desapareciendo personas que informan... Quieren encarcelar los que reporten rapto de niños, el robo de autoridades venezolanas desde los escombros, los del ejército están mas preocupados por robar que por rescatar gente...”

Y pensar que algunos sucios mercenarios salieron a decir que en Venezuela ahora "había libertad de expresión" y todo era mejor.

Ni comunas, ni consejos comunales, ni jefes de calle.
La ayuda humanitaria está llegando directamente al pueblo afectado mediante aerodeslizadores estadounidenses, capaces de acceder a las zonas más aisladas y de difícil acceso.
Las estructuras creadas por el chavismo nunca fueron indispensables para asistir a la población; fueron diseñadas como mecanismos de control y sometimiento social.
Hoy, la asistencia llega de forma directa a quienes realmente la necesitan: los ciudadanos afectados.

On this day in 1944, Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep in a stone farmhouse in Normandy. He was 56 years old, and he had spent almost his entire adult life trying to be worthy of a famous last name.

He was the eldest son of President Theodore Roosevelt. In the First World War he went to France and was gassed and badly wounded at Soissons leading his men. That same summer his younger brother Quentin, a pilot, was shot down and killed over France. Ted came home with lungs and a leg that never fully recovered, and before he even left Europe he helped found the American Legion so that ordinary soldiers would have someone looking out for them.

Between the wars he did almost everything. Governor of Puerto Rico. Governor General of the Philippines. Businessman, explorer, writer. He could have spent the Second World War safe behind a desk. Instead, at 54, arthritic and walking with a cane, he talked his way back into uniform and into combat.

By 1943 he was fighting in North Africa and Sicily under Terry Allen, and their loose, unpolished, soldier-first style rubbed General Patton the wrong way. Patton had them both relieved of command. Roosevelt didn't sulk. He asked for another job, any job, as long as it kept him near the fighting. They made him assistant commander of the 4th Infantry Division.

Then came D-Day. He hid a heart condition from the Army doctors. He wrote to his commander three separate times, in writing, begging to go in with the very first wave rather than watch from a ship. He was the only general to land in the first wave on any beach that morning, the oldest man in the invasion, walking through machine gun fire with a cane in one hand and a pistol in the other.

The boats came in a mile off course. Officers froze. Roosevelt limped up and down the beach under fire, studied the ground, and said, "We'll start the war from right here." Then he spent the morning waving men forward and sorting out the chaos so calmly that terrified 20 year olds looked at this old man with a cane and decided that if he wasn't scared, they wouldn't be either.

His son Quentin, named for the uncle killed in the last war, landed at Omaha Beach the same morning. They were the only father and son to come ashore together on D-Day.

He died a month later. A heart attack in his sleep. And here is the part that gets me. On the very day he died, the orders had just come through promoting him to major general and giving him his own division. He never saw the paperwork. He never knew he'd earned the Medal of Honor either.

At his funeral his pallbearers were seven of the most famous generals of the war, Bradley, Hodges, Collins, Barton, Huebner, and George Patton. The same Patton who had fired him. Patton wrote in his diary that Roosevelt was one of the bravest men he had ever known.

Years later Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic thing he witnessed in all of World War II. He didn't pause. He said, "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."

Es absolutamente IMPOSIBLE ensayar consensos en Ecuador. Lo máximo que puede aspirarse es aportar algo de criterio o algo de buena fe a los temas públicos. Por supuesto que uno puede equivocarse o tropezarse. El problema no son los errores que se cometen en el camino sino que el tablero es uno de guerra, no de diálogo.

[Gabriel Acosta Cardenas @gacostac]

@Polificcion El problema no es el mensaje, es el medio (x, facebook) Cuando se crearon las plataformas esperábamos que actuarán como la nueva plaza o café donde la gente discutía...pero ya sabemos que no son. regresemosemos a la plaza, café. Colegios profesionales, etc para formar consensos

MIC DROP: Iranian ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani: “I have one word only: I advise to the representative of the United States to be polite. It will be better for yourself and the country you represent.”

U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz: “Frankly, I’m not going to dignify this with another response, especially, as this representative sits here, in this body, representing a regime that has killed tens of thousands of its own people and imprisoned many more simply for wanting freedom from your tyranny.”

NUKED!
