Replying to @ABDELAESPRIELLA

Ayudemos a difundir esta rectificación que al influenciador del gobierno se le fue a las 3 am. Ramos debió rectificar y reconocer que dijo graves mentiras sobre la cantante @AdrianaLucia con las que afectó su nombre.

Rectifico que la Señora Adriana Lucía López Llorente no era amiga de alias "Bendito Menor" y aclaro que es falso y carece de sustento que ella perteneciera a las Autodefensas Conquistadoras de la Sierra Nevada (lo segundo nunca lo he dicho). La imagen compartida en mi publicación del 4 de septiembre de 2026 fue tomada durante el concierto "Un canto por Colombia", realizado en Bogotá el 8 de diciembre de 2019.

For non-Miamians, let me invite you into the locura of our election silly season. So, Hakeem Jeffries comes to town to campaign w D candidate for FL-27 Elliot Rodriguez. Surprising no one, they do a lazy stop at a local bakery for the ritual cafecito. nbcmiami.com/elections/hakee…

Hakeem Jeffries backs Eliott Rodriguez in Florida's 27th congressional district race as Republicans...

During a stop at CAO Bakery in Pinecrest, Jeffries pledged to help Rodriguez secure the resources needed to compete in the November election.

1,200 sexual assault cases were filed at Cornell from 2018 to 2024. Most of those found responsible received minor sanctions that allowed them to remain on campus, such as probation or training. Only 7 ended in expulsion or dismissal. usatoday.com/story/news/nati…

Cornell rarely expels students in sex assault cases | Exclusive

A third of undergraduate women say they've been sexually assaulted. But on average, Cornell reported expelling just one attacker per year.

Durante décadas, las fuerzas armadas colombianas mantuvieron el monopolio del poder aéreo, lo que les permitía vigilar a los grupos armados, bombardearlos sin previo aviso y organizar vuelos logísticos en las inmediaciones. Esa ventaja ahora está siendo desafiada.

Here's how many US troops and contractors were in Colombia from 2002-2010 (minimum/maximum, as reported in a June 2010 State Dept. response to my inquiry). Could the presence be similar or greater now? Will the mission be different, with more proximity to combat? Don't know yet.

Si conoce a alguien cuya casa quedó agrietada con el terremoto, dígale esto hoy. Cuando la vivienda está hipotecada, la ley exige que esté amparada contra incendio o terremoto, y esa prima ya se paga dentro de la cuota. Miles de familias van a pagar de su bolsillo un daño que ya estaba asegurado. El plazo para avisar a la aseguradora vence esta semana. Va hilo
