I've launched a new Youtube and #podcast series: The Mex Fed Docuseries, where we will explore the past, the present and the future of the Mexican military. Unknown to many, #AMLO started the rapid militarization of the country when he assumed office. www.youtube.com/@mexfed #mexicanmilitary

Sometimes when I'm stressed about the headlines on the news, I start to doodle to bring back some sanity into my life. #mexico #doodles #digitalart

It may come as a surprise to some of you that I’ve worked on El Paso political campaigns since 2001. Drawing from my 24 years of experience creating political campaign branding, strategies and a voter data platform I wrote “The Handbook to Winning El Paso Elections.” It goes on sale next week.

Adding context to stories about #MexicanFirefighters helping in #LAfires. México's armed forces has three primary tasks: DN1 - national sovereignty, DN2 - internal security & DN3 - disaster response. DN3 is helping in #LA. México invests heavily in DN3, which arrived yesterday. MXAF C-130 in back.

At about 9:30am EST today, the United States of America will have the first #convictedfelon as president elect soon to be president. Let that sink in. American people, at least the majority that voted via the electoral college, made this happen. What does it say about America's #ruleoflaw? #trump

I agree with my president, Claudia Sheinbaum, it's time to start thinking about renaming the United States to its original name, you know before the invaders arrived: America Méxicana. #MexicanAmerica Donald Trump has never done well against women willing to take him on.

The about face by #Facebook on #factcheck is both a business decision and commercial window dressing. Moderation and fact checking will never be fair because, whether automated or manual in the end it is #anglocentric voices the decide. The rule of the minority over the majority.

What is important to remember about the sentencing of Donald Trump on January 20 is not that he is not going to jail but the fact that he will be a convicted felon upon being sentenced. Under US jurisprudence, it is the sentence that make him a convicted felon. www.justice.gov/archives/jm/...

Wishing you and your loved ones a fantastic 2025 where all your dreams/goals come true.

As #hamradio operator (N4MEX) & someone who often writes about #publicpolicy & #taxes I was looking at #UK 's #televisiontax & enforcement. Enforcement is via spectrum analysis from street (harder for modern tvs) raising interesting technological & #privacy questions. Tax is about $213 USD/year.

Reading some court testimony in a lawsuit I am not involved in I came across my name. Apparently I have been creating "great annoyance" with an official with my requests for #openrecords via the Texas Public Information Act. Keep in mind that the entity is operating in a building paid by #taxpayers.

This article inspired me to come up with some decal mockups.

So I am hearing from friends & the news media that #Tesla owners are having buyers remorse over their car purchases since #ElonMusk befriended #DonaldTrump. To help alleviate their embarrassment I created some car decals to add to their rides to help lower their stigma as they drive down the street.

Let's be clear, no one wins #tradewar much less consumers. Fact is that US has as much to lose as #Mexico, more so then the American consumer. Over $3 trillion, $1 trillion of US #exports to #Cananda, #China and México and $1.5 trillion in consumer goods Americans buy. #tariffs will be costly.

Talk of #massdeportations misses two crucial points. 1955 "Operation Wetback" (yes derogatory but it's what it is called) thousands of US citizens were deported. More important is that a 2005 paper (Jaegar July2005) estimates it would cost $206 billion to mass deport #migrants. #immigration #economy

Since 2020 both US political parties, more so the #democrats have been searching for the mythical #latinovote. Here is a reality check, there is no such thing as a Latino Vote because American #hispanics come from various different worldviews which makes a united Latino vote impossible.
