The peso is falling

Jan 15, 2025 | americanthinker.com | Silvio Canto

Back in the summer of 1982, I was working and living in Mexico. It was a wonderful experience, and I learned something about Mexicans. Don't tell them that the peso is falling because they will give you that look, if you know what I mean. To be fair, 2025 is not 1982. That was the year that a bunch of currencies experienced devaluations, especially Mexico.
It's about China, not Panama

Jan 14, 2025 | americanthinker.com | Silvio Canto

We have not heard so much about the Panama Canal since candidate Ronald Reagan made it an issue back in 1979-80. It did not become a major issue for President Reagan because there was so much on the front pages about Jimmy Carter's failures. The canal is back but for different reasons. Back then, it was all about "we built it and that's it." Now, it's more about China and the idea that it could become the national security nightmare that some feared back then.
Blue is burning

The situation in Los Angeles is not good. Now, it's the winds. It's horrible to watch and there are more neighborhoods under threat: Firefighters were slowly making progress in their battle to contain the inferno that has burned wide areas of Los Angeles' Pacific Palisades neighborhood to the ground, but spreading flames and strong winds still threatened communities in the populous San Fernando Valley on Sunday.
Looking at the snow and dreaming of a baseball tunnel

Jan 12, 2025 | americanthinker.com | Silvio Canto

Let me start with Babe Ruth. In 1927, Ruth set the single season home run record. He hit 60 home runs. The Babe's record stood until Maris hit 61 in 1961. Babe Ruth saved the business of baseball after the 1919 World Series scandal. The Babe put fans in the seats! Again, he saved the game. Lou Gehrig was Babe Ruth's teammate in the 1927 Yankees. Lou was one of the greatest players of all time. Unfortunately, he played in the Babe's shadow. In 1939, Lou was forced out of baseball by an illness.
I got a feelin' called the DEI blues

Jan 11, 2025 | americanthinker.com | Silvio Canto

It's been a tough week for DEI. Maybe many on the Left are singing that song by Hank Williams about having a feeling called the blues since the fire hydrants didn't pump water. It's hard to believe that a city (or state) can spend so much money on DEI and end up with so many incompetent people running things. Maybe they need to check out the courses and ask if anyone is teaching anything about resolving anything. I guess it was all about feelings and social justice.
Socialism update: No lights in Cuba, no water in L.A.

Jan 10, 2025 | americanthinker.com | Silvio Canto

At some point, socialism collapses. It does not have to be overthrown, it simply collapses on its own. Down in Cuba, mismanagement did not update the power plants. Over in Los Angeles, environmental fanaticism means that the fire hydrants can't pump water. Incredibly, no one in LA has the courage to explain why the hydrants can't pump water.
The man who spotted Castro

Jan 9, 2025 | americanthinker.com | Silvio Canto

We remember President Richard M. Nixon, who was born on this day in 1913 in California and died in 1994. Our family was on the way to a baseball game when we heard the news of his death on the radio. You may remember that President Nixon suffered a stroke earlier in the week, and Mrs. Nixon died the year before. He was never the same after she died, or so I hear from those around him.
11 men out

Jan 8, 2025 | americanthinker.com | Silvio Canto

You probably heard the news that the Gitmo population is down 11. Yes, President Biden decided to move 11 men out. Here is the story: The Biden administration on Monday announced the transfer of 11 Yemeni detainees, including two former bodyguards for Osama bin Laden, being held at a U.S. naval base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba to Oman, which has agreed to help resettle them, amid steps to reduce the population at the controversial military facility.
Guess who is angry with the New York Times?

Jan 7, 2025 | americanthinker.com | Silvio Canto

South of the border, the New York Times "esta haciendo olas" as they say in Spanish when someone is making waves. Yes, it's turned into a big back and forth over fentanyl plants. Here is the story: Days after the New York Times (NYT) published a bombshell investigative report into alleged fentanyl manufacturing in Mexico, the Mexican federal government and the New York-based publication are continuing their public clash over opposing views on the article’s factual accuracy.
The judge goes red

Dec 11, 2024 | americanthinker.com | Silvio Canto

Election Day was pretty red in Texas and a Democrat is switching parties. Check this out: A Texas judge representing a county flipped by Donald Trump in this year's presidential race announced he is leaving the Democratic Party to become a Republican on Tuesday. Trump, who defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in November, made substantial gains this year in South Texas, home to a high Latino population that has traditionally leaned toward voting Democratic.
