Pushing The Limits

America has begun to wake up to the real impacts of POTUS tactics including massive, tax cuts for the rich, eliminations of government rules causing natural disasters, which continue to claim lives, increase damages, and other alarming decisions, which will have a negative impact on our nation for many years to come.

A US rule that requires energy companies to capture climate-changing methane during drilling has been rolled back by the Trump administration. California and New Mexico sued within hours. http://apne.ws/yufjAWX

As we commemorate Hispanic Heritage Month, let everyone who needs to be reminded that we are all Americans, that Latinos are here to stay, and we'll never go away. We've been an integral part of the American melting pot and added to the mixed salad our spicy Salsa. https://youtu.be/L07Vp2crq_o

Global Spiritual Healing

The Parliament of the World's Religions was created to cultivate harmony among the global religious and spiritual communities and foster international engagement and its guiding institutions in order to achieve a just, peaceful and sustainable world.

According to the parliament of religions, We live in a world of difference. Yet, we are interdependent. Nowhere is learning to live with the difference more important than religion.

Nightmare Before Election Day

The Republicans, who are self-described by Grand Old Party held the late SCOTUS Antonin Scalia’s seat vacant for more than a year using a line of reasoning and GOP logic that under our democratic system, American voters deserved a voice at the ballot box. Since the midterm elections are just 50 days away, and following serious allegations of lying under oath, in addition to the new troubling information which has now surfaced by an accuser who passed a lie detector test, then shouldn't US voters be heard?

Cutting Edge Scholar

NYU students in my alma mater are about to experience cutting age lectures from Professor Rubén Blades. This 17-time Grammy Award-winning musician, Emmy-nominated Panamanian actor, activist, and a political figure will serve as the NYU Steinhardt Dean’s Inaugural Scholar-in-Residence.

As 58 American Latinos celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, the truth is staring us in the face of morality, or in the lack thereof.

American democracy is based on the continuous agreement of morality and the assumption of a higher moral authority, not our ever-changing politics, where government debates morality instead of embracing, adopting and acting on it accordingly.

How long does it take to learn the 35-word job description after a president swears to represent all the people of The USA?

Presidents-elect have taken the oath since the beginning of the republic. George Washington said it in 1789, and the oath has been the centerpiece of presidential inaugurations ever since, symbolizing democratic rule and the peaceful transition of power.

The oath of office comes directly from Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution.
