Baby Doc’s Second Act by <b> Carlos D. Conde </b>

Youheard the one about the three biggest lies in the world? “Of course, I’ll still love you in the morning.” “The check is in the mail.” “I’m from the federal government and I’m here to help.” That last one can be applied in a somewhat similar context to Jean- Claude Duvalier, the former president of Haiti who showed up unexpectedly in Port-au-Prince in January saying he was so moved by the current plight of his countrymen that he had to come home to help them.

The Teaching Profession Under Siege <b> Carlos D. Conde </b>

Other than my parents, the greatest influences in my life have been teachers or people related to teaching. It dates to a declaration early in my life about the values of an education and about learning.

It’s the quadrennial of U.S. presidential elections, so it’s apropos to bring up the image of Ben Fernandez who, as many may have forgotten, was the first Latin-Mexican American, to be precise to run for president of the United States. It brings reminiscences of where he got this pipe dream that a Latino, and Republican at that, could be elected U.S. president.  It wasn’t that long ago (actually 1980), but really seems an eternity from the prospect of one day having a Latino sitting in the White House Oval Office.

Quiere Combate Says Trump to Mexico by <b> Carlos D. Conde </b>

There is an old Mexican saying by one of its former presidents, the legendary seven-term President Porfirio Diaz, 1876-19ll, who even back then had coined the apropos adage about his country’s relation with its neighbor, the United States.   “Tan legos de Dios y tan cerca de los Estados Unidos,” he sighed over some border issues with the United States.  (“So far from God and so close to the United States.”)
