Cuando la Tirania es Ley, la Revolucion es Orden.
Yesterday was a great day for Democracy. I'm so happy to see people choosing democracy over MAGA. Believe how people actually vote!
Even Yusuf Salaam, one of the Central Park Five, who was exonerated for a 1989 attack on a jogger, and was called to be executed by Donald Trump, won election yesterday. Biggest news of the night, Trump lost again. I love karma.
Yesterday, a Republican senator introduced legislation to ban Palestinians from the United States, and to revoke any visas issued since October 1.
This xenophobic Republican senator argues that the policy would protect Americans from the threat of Palestinian terrorists. I may be wrong, but I don't recall any Palestinian terrorist attacks in the United States ever.
After the Twin Towers attack on September 11, 2001, it was reported that 15 hijackers were citizens of Saudi Arabia. When Trump imposed his Muslim ban, Saudi Arabia was NOT on the list of banned countries. Saudi Arabia ambushed and strangled Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in their embassy. His body was dismembered and disposed of. The United States government never imposed any sanctions to Saudi Arabia for Khashoggi's murder or the September 11 attacks.
The Orange Turd sold weapons to the Saudis for billions of dollars. In fact, he vetoed Congress bills prohibiting arm sales to Saudi Arabia. Even the Biden administration continued the arm sales to Saudi Arabia.
It is a known fact, that Saudi Arabia have transferred American made weapons to al Qaeda terrorists. Methinks that instead of imposing xenophobic legislation, it is time to stop selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, a breeding ground for militant Islamic terrorist activities.
Not sure why, but one of the great sports rivalries exist between the Cowboys and the Eagles NFL football teams.
According to Wikipedia, the Cowboys versus Eagles rivalry is a 63 year long intra-divisional rivalry, with the two teams contained in the same division since 1961. I was only four years old when the rivalry began.
The teams will be facing again next Sunday, and the fans are ready for battle. Every time they play, some sport reporters make it sound like they are waging a war to end all wars between Israel and Palestine. Since I am not a football fan, to me the entire football rivalry thing is a bit silly.
This picture was taken during a trip to Washington DC on November 2020, two months before the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States.
I remember setting up my camera gear near the grassy triangle on the House side of the Capitol's East Front. This is the location where reporters and politicians hold their press conferences.
The phone rang and it was my sister who lives in Puerto Rico, and knew I was spending the weekend in DC. She was worried about me; afraid that crowds of MAGA supporters would protest, and that it would turn violent.
At that time there was a lot of hateful rhetoric and misinformation about the "Stop the Steal" movement from Trump. To put her at ease, I reassure her that some small pockets of MAGA supporters were marching outside the Capitol building, and chanting peacefully. So I was not concerned.
My visit to DC was two months before Trump and his minions encouraged his followers to march inside the Capitol building, and the riot and chaos that ensued. Every time I look at this selfie of myself photographing the Capitol building, brings back memories of when my sister called from 2,000 miles away, very concerned about my well being.
This is a picture of my then 23-year-old father serving in the Army in 1950. He was fortunate that World War 2 ended six years earlier with the unconditional surrender of Germany in May 1945.
When the Korean War broke out in 1950, my father was stationed in Panama thanks to his radio repair/maintenance skills and knowledge of communication equipment. For that reason he did not see combat action in Korea. After the war, SEARS offered my father the opportunity to be manager of the Radio/Television department in my home town. My father declined, and opened his own radio and television repair shop, until he retired.
More information is now pouring in about the mass murderer (Robert Card) that gunned down 18 people in Maine last week.
The sister of the gunman was the person who called police and identified him as the shooter. His brother disclosed to police that a woman ended a relationship with Robert Card in the previous months, and they had previously met at one of the locations where he opened fire. Details have now been disclosed that Robert Card had been under the authorities radar for months.
Robert Card's ex-wife and his son met with authorities last May to share that Robert Card mental health had been declining, that he was paranoid and hearing voices. As per the family, Mr. Card had 10-15 guns. In September, some of his Army reservist friends contacted the sheriff office, and shared that they were concerned Mr. Card was going to snap, and commit a mass shooting. In addition, the sheriff office knew Mr. Card spent time in a psychiatric hospital, but never removed his guns.
Mr. Card killed 18 people and took his own life last week. Yesterday, Joel Merry, the county sheriff still defended the decision not to use Maine's "Yellow Flag" gun law, which removes a person's guns, if they are considered a danger to themselves or others.
The County Sheriff argues that they didn't want to violate the shooter's rights. The question to ask should be, who advocates for the rights of the victims?
El policia era sospechoso de cometer el horrendo asesinato de una pareja de envejecientes. La pareja fue amordazada y baleada para robarle $200,000 de la venta de una casa. Segun la noticia, el policia llevaba una amistad de mas de 10 años con los envejecientes, y de vez en cuando hacia arreglos en la residencia de ellos. Ya lo dice el refran, "la codicia y la amistad no van de la mano".
It appears that the news that Mark Meadows, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesebro, and Sidney Powell are flipping, cooperating and or pleading guilty and willing to testify against the Orange Turd, send the MAGA crowd reeling. These people are beginning to realize that Trump is not worth going to prison.
Some of you poor little snowflakes really bet on the wrong horse, and now it dawned on you that your dear fascist unstable moron leader is going down.
Yesterday, the Trump defenders were claiming that Sidney Powell was an outlier and would be the only one to flip. Less than 24 hours later, and look at what we have. Trump's co-conspirators are falling like autumn leaves in making plea deals to stay out of prison! The dominoes are falling.
El rescate de “ricos” tesoros sumergidos en costas de Puerto Rico podria convertirse en la solución a los problemas financieros de Mayaguez y la fuente de dinero para garantizar su campaña politica.
La verdad que estos politicos de pacotilla de nuestra isla no tienen verguenza.
I see myself relegating photography to a second place. Last night, I realized that since I purchased the DJI drone last January, I have not taken any pictures with my Nikon D7000 DSLR. Every single new pictures or videos have been taken with my cell phone or my GoPro action camera.
Let me rephrase the previous statement, the only pictures taken with my Nikon camera, are the old pictures scanned at my sister's house this past summer when I began to digitize our family old pictures.
Some changes need to be made, if I want to fall off the wagon back into digital photography.
I have hundreds of summer camp images, these are some of my favorites. This five day camp gives kids ages 5-14, a chance to participate in structured sports and games, arts and crafts, group projects and field trips.
I don't think most people realize how important is for these children to be part of camp, especially for kids who are economically disadvantaged. They learn life skills in a safe and fun environment, that helps them develop important social, emotional and cognitive skills.
The most rewarding part of camp for me, was seeing some of these kids now as responsible adults, building a future, while raising their own families. As a bonus, it was great to see some of them to come back to camp as grown-ups, as volunteer counselors and give back to the community.
Donald Trump is a traitor. He is the greatest national
security risk of all time.
Months after leaving the White House, former President
Donald Trump allegedly discussed potentially sensitive information about U.S.
nuclear submarines with a member of his Mar-a-Lago Club.
An Australian billionaire who then allegedly
shared the information with scores of others, including more than a dozen
foreign officials, several of his own employees, and a handful of journalists,
according to sources familiar with the matter.
According to Pratt's account, as described by the
sources, Pratt told Trump he believed Australia should start buying its
submarines from the United States, to which an excited Trump --
"leaning" toward Pratt as if to be discreet -- then told Pratt two
pieces of information about U.S. submarines: the supposed exact number of
nuclear warheads they routinely carry, and exactly how close they supposedly
can get to a Russian submarine without being detected.
In emails and conversations after meeting with
Trump, Pratt described Trump's remarks to at least 45 others, including six
journalists, 11 of his company's employees, 10 Australian officials, and three
former Australian prime ministers, the sources told ABC News. - [ This news
report has been reprinted from ABC News. ]
Donald Trump sharing nuclear subs secret information is unacceptable and a serious breach of the United States national security. He should be indicted for this breach and brought to explain his intentions. This man should have been incarcerated way before this but now this is a must.
John Kelly, who served as former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, confirmed on the record that many of Trump’s critical remarks about veterans and injured service members were true.
“What can I add that has not already been said?” Kelly told CNN in an exclusive statement. “A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘It doesn’t look good for me." - article from Huffington Post.
MAGAs don't care. They like Trump because he is a traitor to our republic and they want to turn our free republic into a dictatorship, a Trump led dictatorship. That is their entire goal, nothing else matters.
Can't wait for this corrupt loser to go to jail.
Last week the Orange Turd, his two oldest sons and their company were found liable of fraud. Today begins the punishing phase, where the One-term, Twice-Impeached, Four Times Indicted corrupt ex-president could be fined $250 million dollars and be forced to give up all of his New York State properties.
Mark my words, this corrupt loser has no chance of winning any election, ever again.
My biggest regret was selling my 1972 Kawasaki 750 H2 triple. It's a long story, but that bike gave me many years of fun memories.
In 1979, I was working as a technician at the Honda motorcycle dealership in my hometown. That same year American Honda had introduced the Honda CBX six-cylinder engine. It was their flagship motorcycle. It was designed to give Honda bragging rights about the fastest production motorcycle in the late 70's.
In my infinite wisdom, I thought I could purchase the Honda CBX with the measly wages I was making at the dealership. I was so naive, that I gave my bike away for measly $650.00 dollars. Like I said, it was my biggest motorcycle regret in life.
A judge ruled Tuesday that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House, and he ordered some of the former president’s companies removed from his control and dissolved.
Judge Arthur Engoron, found that Trump and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing loans.
Judge Engoron ordered that some of Trump’s business licenses be rescinded as punishment, making it difficult or impossible for them to do business in New York.
Fast forward one year. I had planned to attend a motorcycle event called The Modern Classics Ride in my area tomorrow. The event was postponed thanks to Tropical Cyclone Sixteen that is supposed to get here beginning today.
I know this tropical storm does not compare to Hurricane Fiona, but torrential rains, high winds and life threatening storm surge are expected in the east coast, especially in the Philly region this weekend. Let's be careful out there!
On Sunday, I spent the whole day testing various settings on my new audio recorder (Zoom H1n) that I plan to use to improve the quality of my GoPro action camera audio sound.
I plan to use my old trusty external Lavalier microphone on it. The trick will be to synch my GoPro voice audio sound inside my helmet with the Zoom H1n motorcycle exhaust recording. To record a wind noise free sound, a "dead cat windscreen" or windscreen foam pop filter will be used. This is an ongoing process, stay tuned!
With the new addition of the GoPro Hero 12, their fan base is so upset about some of the changes and updates, it sounds like some people are ready for an armed mutiny.
Of course I am exaggerating their reaction, but in my opinion it is too much ado about nothing.
I don't understand what is the big deal. I am still using my GoPro Hero 4, introduced in the market in 2014. (I own two Hero 4 Black and one Hero 4 Silver). The Hero 4 camera does everything I need without any issues. Why buy a new action camera when the old version still produces flawless work?
A jury will consider how much the former
president should pay her in monetary damages, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.
A federal judge has ruled that former President
Donald Trump is liable for making defamatory statements against writer E. Jean
Carroll in 2019, after she went public with claims that he r*ped her decades
earlier.
The ruling comes four months after a jury found that Trump is liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll in a separate civil lawsuit she filed against him. The panel in the case determined she was sexually abused and Trump should pay her $5 million in damages.
Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, the former chairman of the violent neo-fascist gang the Proud Boys, was sentenced to 22 years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol attack.
The Proud Boys were lined up behind Donald Trump and willing to commit violence on his behalf. “These defendants saw themselves as Donald Trump’s army, fighting to keep their preferred leader in power no matter what the law or the courts had to say about it.”
Besides, for the type of extreme abuse I put through my GoPro Hero 4, taking underwater photos and videos, and recording my motorcycle onboard rides I am very happy with it. My (3) GoPro Hero 4's were released 2014. So far, my action camera had been trouble-free. Knock on wood.
To my surprise, the night before a fire engulfed more than half of the garage/storage facility causing extensive damage. Luckily, there were no reported injuries, and the area where my motorcycle was stored, was spared from the damage in part thanks to the prompt response by the fire department.
Unfortunately, as you can see in the images below, others were not as lucky. The last two pictures are of a 2012 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R. It melted to the ground. In catastrophic events like this, it pays to have your property fully insured.
First mugshots have been released. Co-defendants Scott Hall and Trump lawyer John Eastman were booked after surrendering yesterday. Rudy Giuliani expects to surrender as early as today. The Orange Turd will surrender tomorrow.
In other news, after changing counsel, Trump employee retracted his false testimony regarding the classified documents. Now implicates Nauta, De Oliveira and Trump. This is the beginning of the end for these fascist traitors.
This morning I revisited my old scenic pictures album from Flickr, and realized that I need to get back in the habit of scouting new locations to add more pics to my portfolio. Stay tuned!
Also indicted were a laundry list of Trump lawyers and allies, including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, John Eastman, Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, former Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark and a host of Georgia Republican officials. Lock Him Up!!! Lock Him Up!!! Lock Him Up!!!
Making America Great Again One Indictment at a time!
It's now considered the deadliest wildfire disaster in the United States for more than a century. Residents say they received no warning before fire ravaged the island. The wildfires left a trail of death and destruction.
I spent a month in Maui in 2004; two weeks in April, and two weeks in December of 2004, and visited Lahaina a couple of times checking out some of the art galleries. Looking back, I can't even imagine what everyone is going through. Most reports indicate that the warning alarms did not function. I expect residents to file lawsuits against the government officials in Maui as soon as the search, rescue and recovery is complete.
Have you seen a viral video in social media about a woman complaining about the cost of living?
She claims that her son is currently living with her, despite having a college degree. Even with higher education, her son is unable to afford his own place. She question, "why does a 1 bedroom apartment cost $2000 dollars? She tells people on her video, how she realized the American Dream is no longer something younger generations can attain.
We live in the richest country in the world, where "we are all closer to being homeless than we are to being a billionaire.”
For 2024, Kawasaki is introducing what they call Hybrid and Electrical Sportbikes. I am aware that electrical motorcycles have been in the marked for a couple of years, but I didn't think Kawasaki would go that route so soon.
Why now? I personally don't plan to purchase any electrical vehicles anytime soon. In fact, my Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 should outlive me if I take good care of it.
In my opinion, electrical vehicles wont replace gas vehicles for the time being. At least in my lifetime. Also, if global governments are pushing electrical vehicles trying to solve the climate change issue, maybe they should instead focus their efforts in reducing carbon emissions from the multibillion corporations and global air polluters that are destroying our planet.
Let me ask you, how many of you have watched any of the Orange Turd speeches? It's all him whining, talking about himself, etc.
The Orange Turd latest speech in Montgomery, Alabama, was completely unhinged. There's no mention of what he's ever gonna do for the people, what his policies are, how he is going to help the economy. It's all him whining and talking about being indicted. It's just the ranting and ravings of a lunatic.
I expect him to be arrested and jailed today for violating his court order, less than 24 hours after being told not to make threats. Anything less, is a joke of the "Justice System."
It is a coincidence, that the same week Navy pilots testified to Congress about UFO sightings, I watched my favorite science fiction/comedy movie, Mars Attacks, directed by Tim Burton.
As you know, there are many people who don't believe there is a possibility of life in other galaxies. People still think we are all alone in the Universe.
Back in 2010, I’ve read an interview granted to British scientist Stephen Hawking, where he was warning us to please stop trying to make contact with aliens. He argued that they may want to destroy human civilization.
Hawking stated that Aliens arriving to planet Earth may become our conquerors by colonizing our planet just like Christopher Columbus did when he arrived in America. As per Hawking, our civilization could easily be exterminated. I hate to say it, but he has a point.
The Federally Indicted Twice Impeached, One Term corrupt ex-president, is scheduled to appear in a Washington DC courtroom today afternoon to answer charges for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Lock him up and throw away the key.
CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THE UNITED STATES
'The Justice Department notified the former president on Tuesday that a grand jury had voted to indict him over his efforts to hold onto power following his loss in the 2020 election, including his actions leading to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. He has been summoned to appear in court at 4 p.m. on Thursday. The Orange Turd Vows To Run For President From Prison If Convicted.
LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!
I wish a more strict moderating method was implemented, but just like most sites on the internet, the site administrators are not interested in removing the riff-raff. They care more about clicks and numbers than keeping the site from the usual trolls. Social media apps could be so much fun. Now, not so much.
Ha llovido mucho y han ocurrido muchas experiencias, buenas y malas. A pesar de todos los obstaculos, he logrado muchas metas y conocido tremendos seres humanos que me han ayudado a crecer como persona.
Le doy gracias a Dios, a mi familia y amigos por todo su apoyo. Veremos a ver que me depara el destino en el futuro.
La foto fue tomada en el 1983, en la sala de mi primer apartamento en Brooklyn, NY.
