[德州洞察 @TX_InsightCN]

这两天YouTube上有一个视频杀疯了，
成都女孩“墨韵”用咱们两千多年历史的古筝，
翻弹了老鹰乐队的摇滚神曲《加州旅馆》，
狂揽两千多万播放量，底下的老外在评论区直接听懵了。

《加州旅馆》最绝的就是那段吉他Solo，
而墨韵硬是用古筝清脆悠扬的拨弦声，
把这段西方摇滚的经典神仙还原了。
她用现场循环演奏的方式，
把摇滚的狂野律动和东方民乐的韵味完美融合。
很多外国网友惊呼，这绝对是他们听过最不可思议、最美妙的翻唱版本，硬生生让咱们这门历史悠久的传统乐器在全球狠狠圈了一波粉。

这段旋律对咱们在美国、尤其是德州生活的华人来说，
听着感受极其奇妙。德州本来就是一个极度热爱经典摇滚和吉他文化的地方，平时大家开着车在高速上，电台里最常放的公路神曲就是这首。但当这首刻进美国人骨子里的旋律，顺着咱们老祖宗的古筝弦流淌出来时，那种东方底蕴跟西方经典完美碰撞的感觉，
真的让人头皮发麻，又极其自豪。
我们的文化不仅能高山流水，玩起经典流行一样能惊艳世界。

Years ago i sat next to Mark Carney at a White House Correspondents dinner and I had no idea who he was. After talking to him for awhile not only did i think he was brilliant but he knew more about the markets than anyone I had ever met. Yet all he wanted to talk about was being a dad!

Vice President Sara Duterte’s Office liquidated a Youth Summit with just mere certifications

One of the lies Duterte supporters often tell is from a former congressman and now fugitive, “Atty Harry Roque” — saying that the Congress and Senate only submit certifications to liquidate their funds. That couldn’t be more wrong, they too are subject to regular audit and no line item in their budget is confidential!

To my surprise, it was Vice President Sara Duterte who submitted just mere certifications to liquidate and/ or justify a “Youth Leadership Summit”. No receipts, proof of purchase or whatever. Just mere certifications from different military authorities. That’s Php 112.5 Million pesos!

Conduct of training and project management? I know these like the back of hand. Even training with representatives from all regions and provinces which lasted for seven whole days, with accommodations, air fare, allowances, payment for the project team and honorarium for top notch resource speakers will not cost the government Php 112.5 million pesos. There is no way that’s possible.

I have two issues here 1) Why do they need to use confidential funds for this?  Why can’t they do this like everyone else and go through the right process? 2) Where are all the receipts? Or proof that such events actually happened

While all the supporters of the Vice President justified the confidential funds of DepEd as making sure the students are safe and other anti-insurgency campaigns, the records show otherwise. Imagine! Purchase of information for car loan scams. Lols!

You have a lot of explaining to do, Madam Vice President.

Please watch the entire video.
