La expresidenta Cristina Fernández de Kirchner utilizó su cuenta de Twitter para expresar su rechazo a los nuevos allanamientos dispuestos por el juez federal Claudio Bonadio en el marco de la causa Los Sauces.
“Debo ser la única ciudadana en la historia judicial argentina que es investigada por dos jueces federales de Comodoro Py en forma simultánea sobre una misma causa: Los Sauces S.A.. Antes el ensañamiento de Bonadio era Hotesur S.A, hasta. que lo apartaron de la causa”, escribió Cristina. Y recordó que el juez Julián Ercolini había ordenado una pericia integral sobre Los Sauces S.A. desde el año 2008 hasta hoy. “Es muy probable que como Bonadío allanó hoy las oficinas donde hay documentación de la sociedad, sustrayéndola, no se pueda hacer la pericia que el otro Juez ordenó”, mencionó.
Agregó que “también allanaron departamentos, propiedad de Los Sauces S.A., que están alquilados a terceros” y que “a uno de los inquilinos, que no estaba en Río Gallegos, le rompieron la puerta a patadas”. “Hacía tiempo, décadas diría, que no se veía un abuso de poder y persecución política semejante”, afirmó CFK, quien cuestionó que medios como el portal Infobae o el canal de noticias TN supieran de antemano de los operativos. ¿Transmitirán en vivo y en directo los allanamientos, arrasando los códigos vigentes y los más elementales derechos y garantías de que la Constitución Nacional reconoce a cualquier ciudadano?, se preguntó.
“Esta no es la primera, ni tampoco será la única causa que inventarán, ni la última ‘excursión de pesca’, lo vienen haciendo desde el año 2003 a la fecha”, continuó la exmandataria y afirmó que tanto ella como el expresidentes Néstor Kirchner fueron los jefes de Estado más “denunciados e investigados”. “Como nunca tuvimos cuentas en negro en el exterior o bienes no declarados en el extranjero sustrayéndolos del fisco argentino, siempre han inventado sobre las Declaraciones Juradas”, completó Cristina.
Añadió que ella y Néstor no están “en los Panamá Papers ni en ningún otro escándalo internacional” y cuestionó: “¿Alguien sabe si al Presidente y su familia –todos involucrados en Panamá Papers- le allanaron casas, empresas o sus oficinas? ¿O la de alguno de sus funcionarios involucrados que lo acompañan desde el inicio de su gestión en el gobierno de la ciudad?”.
“¿Creerán que de esta manera lograrán disciplinar a la dirigencia política, sindical o social opositora?”, prosiguió CFK para luego afirmar: “Tal vez podrán con algunos, o tal vez con todos. Conmigo no. No cuenten con ello. Podrán hacer mil allanamientos más. Podrán televisarlos, podrán meterme presa, su claro objetivo. Lo que nunca van a poder tapar son las consecuencias de un plan económico que sólo distribuye pobreza para los trabajadores, las clases medias y los pequeños y medianos empresarios”.

Cathy Sáenz, productora de ‘Esto es Guerra’, confirmó que una Soifer será parte del programa y sembró la duda entre los seguidores de las hermanas.
Sáenz no confirmó si se trataba de Michelle o de una de sus dos hermanas, Kimberly o Chris, por lo que la expectativa de saber de quién se trata continúa.
Este lunes 19 de enero iniciará la temporada de verano del reality y los seguidores ansían por saber los nombres de los nuevos ‘guerreros’.
Como se recuerda Chris, una de las hermanas de Michelle, fue parte de la temporada pasada de ‘Esto es Guerra’.

Se pensó que el cáncer lo superaría pero finalmente no fue así. Pau Donés, el mítico vocalista y compositor de la banda española Jarabe de Palo, volvió a recaer y los médicos le informaron que su enfermedad es terminal.
Los doctores de Donés habrían determinado que las posibilidades que tiene de sobrevivir es solamente un 20%. Aproximadamente, un poco más de cinco años.
“Los médicos han dicho que solo hay un 20% de posibilidades de que viva más de cinco años. ¡Pues ya son 20! Y yo quiero ser uno de esos. Me gustaría no pensar en el cáncer ni en que dentro de cinco años ya no estoy aquí. Ya no he vuelto a preguntar cuánto tiempo me queda de vida porque no me importa saberlo”, afirmó el cantante a la revista española XLSemanal.
La noticia ha sido resentida por fans y amigos de la banda. Aún así, Donés confesó en la publicación que esta enfermedad lo ha hecho feliz, ya que sin ella se estaba perdiendo en muchas otras cosas de la vida que ahora sí aprovecha.
“Yo no era un tío feliz antes del cáncer y ahora lo soy. Creo que desde que ejerzo de padre de mi hija, me quiere un poquito más. Intenté dar mucha calidad al tiempo que le he dispensado, pero ha sido muy poco. Ahora la he recuperado y por eso digo que no me quiero morir, porque la gente que me quiere no se lo merece”, señaló.
Con estas palabras, Pau se ha convertido en un ejemplo y hasta un ídolo para otros que sufren de cáncer. Cabe recordar que el pasado mes de diciembre, Jarabe de Palo realizó conciertos con el objetivo de recaudar fondos para estudios del cáncer colorrectal con metástasis.
Más de 83 mil euros se han logrado recaudar en eventos de ayuda que fueron destinados a identificar y desarrollar nuevos fármacos para el tratamiento del oncogén BRAF y que está llevando a cabo el Vall Hebron Instituto de Oncología (VHIO).
Hebe de Bonafini fue procesada por el delito de administración fraudulenta en perjuicio de la administración pública durante el proyecto Sueños Compartidos, que funcionó entre 2006 y 2011.
Cuando ningún medio desconfiaba de la causa, NOTICIAS se animó a lanzar en 2008 la primera tapa dedicada a las Madres, en referencia a la relación que tenían con el kirchnerismo. Titulada “El peligroso uso de los derechos humanos”, describió cómo los Kirchner exponían a Madres y Abuelas en pleno conflicto con el campo y se esbozó la primera denuncia por manejos autoritarios y cheques sin fondo. A partir de 2011, la imagen de la titular de Madres se volvería repetitiva, e incluso se le dedicarían tres tapas consecutivas.
La segunda aparición de Hebe en una tapa fue el 4 de junio de 2011, donde se empezaban a descifrar los “Códigos de familia”: el pacto de silencio entre Bonafini-Schoklender. El origen carcelario de una compleja relación filial, económica y política y cómo una mujer que representaba un emblema nacional sobreprotegía a dos hermanos acusados de parricidio. NOTICIAS habló por primera vez de la increíble red de negocios de Sergio Schoklender, su esposa y las Madres.
En el siguiente número, se presentó la investigación que intentaba dilucidar porqué Bonafini entregó a los Schoklender. En la nota central, “Sabía todo”, se enumeran al menos 13 denuncias y advertencias que ella había recibido sobre los manejos oscuros de su “hijo” Sergio y se dieron los detalles reveladores de una ruptura tardía. También se hizo foco en las sospechas de Estela de Carlotto y la interna entre las dos organizaciones de derechos humanos. No pasó mucho tiempo antes de que NOTICIAS volviera a enfocar su edición en la titular de Madres de Plaza de Mayo. “Sálvese quien pueda” fue la cuarta tapa que tuvo en la mira a Bonafini, detallando “el peor golpe al Modelo K“: la cadena de complicaciones para blindar a Hebe y cubrir al gobierno.
El 23 de julio, la Fundación Madres ocupó nuevamente el centro de la escena, esta vez debido a que los obreros que trabajaron en Sueños Compartidos comenzaron a hacer reclamos públicos frente a despidos y censura gremial.
NOTICIAS accedió los balances de 2008 y 2009 que presentó la propia Fundación de Madres ante la Inspección General de Justicia (IGJ) y descubrió la millonaria evasión de aportes que cajoneó la AFIP. Otra nota principal de la revista, publicada el 20 de Agosto.
En septiembre, en una entrevista exclusiva, Schoklender contó su propia versión de los hechos: las cuentas de Hebe en el exterior, cómo Fundación Madres financió la campaña de Amado Boudou, las coimas en la obra pública y los viajes de los funcionarios K en sus aviones. El 2011 no podría terminar de otra manera: el 17 de diciembre NOTICIAS publicó un anticipo del polémico libro de Sergio Shoklender, en el que contó la historia oculta de Hebe.
Más de seis años después, Hebe de Bonafini vuelve a ser tapa de NOTICIAS.
FIRST, THERE’S THIS BOMBSHELL— “Trump Organization and CFO Allen Weisselberg Expected to Be Charged Thursday,” by WSJ’s Corinne Ramey: “The Manhattan district attorney’s office is expected to charge the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer with tax-related crimes on Thursday, people familiar with the matter said, which would mark the first criminal charges against the former president’s company since prosecutors began investigating it three years ago.
“Mr. Trump himself isn’t expected to be charged, his lawyer said. [ALLEN] WEISSELBERG has rejected prosecutors’ attempts at gaining his cooperation, according to people familiar with the matter. The defendants are expected to appear in court on Thursday afternoon, the people said. The Trump Organization and Mr. Weisselberg are expected to face charges related to allegedly evading taxes on fringe benefits, the people said. … If prosecutors could show the Trump Organization and its executives systematically avoided paying taxes, they could file more serious charges alleging a scheme, lawyers said.” Brookings legal experts, including former House impeachment lawyer NORM EISEN, just released a new report about the ex-president’s liability on these issues.
MEANWHILE … C-SPAN released its fourth historians survey of presidential leadership and found that Trump ranked fourth to last in terms of best national leaders. He leads presidents FRANKLIN PIERCE, JAMES BUCHANAN and ANDREW JOHNSON, who was also impeached. (Cue the “low-ratings C-SPAN” statement from Trump.)
Topping the list is ABRAHAM LINCOLN. BARACK OBAMA gets 10th place and GEORGE W. BUSH gets 29th. More from Maeve Sheehey
SELECT COMMITTEE VOTE LOOMS LARGE OVER TRUMP’S GOP SKEPTICS — House Republicans still angry with Trump for his behavior on Jan. 6 face a difficult vote around 2:30 p.m.: whether to support Speaker NANCY PELOSI’s move to name a select committee to probe the Capitol siege.
In 2014, seven Democrats joined Republicans to back the creation of the House GOP’s Benghazi committee, as our colleague Nicholas Wu notes.
Jan. 6 was an attack on American soil, yet it appears likely that fewer Republicans will cross party lines to support a select committee. At least two of the House Republicans who backed Trump’s second impeachment — JOHN KATKO (R-N.Y.) and ANTHONY GONZALEZ (R-Ohio) — say they won’t back this idea because panel members won’t have even representation.
Never mind that the House GOP’s last select committee similarly was weighted toward the majority.
This is not a good omen for the panel. If anything, it’s a sign that this is going to get extremely messy, extremely fast — which is just what Republicans want. The less credibility the select committee has, the more they can dismiss its findings as partisan, like they did with Trump’s first impeachment.
We’re not sure if you caught it Tuesday, but Pelosi suggested she would give herself veto authority over any members House Minority Leader KEVIN MCCARTHY selects to sit on the committee. This comes out of a fear from Democrats that they’ll name people like Rep. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE (R-Ga.) — or that they’ll name some of the more than 100 House Republicans who objected to the electoral college.
But Pelosi telling the minority who they can and cannot pick — if that’s how this turns out — would not be a good look for the kickoff of this committee.
WATCH — Some Republicans aren’t happy about Pelosi’s new Jan. 6 committee: On this episode of The Breakdown, Ryan discusses the purpose and mission of the select committee, who we can expect to see on the committee and how Republicans are responding. Ryan also breaks down the political implications that this committee could impose on Republicans, as this investigation may focus on members of their own party, including Trump.
Good Wednesday afternoon.

HOORAY BEER! — “The White House Is Marking COVID ‘Independence Day’ With Free Beer And Bill Pullman,” by NPR’s Tamara Keith: “America hasn’t quite reached President Biden’s July 4th vaccination goal, but the White House isn’t letting that get in the way of a good party. Starting Saturday, Biden and other administration officials will fan out around the country to celebrate that hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 are way down and life is getting back to normal.
“And even though not quite 70% of American adults got their first shot by the Independence Day milestone, Budweiser is officially unlocking its free beer giveaway, one of many incentives dangled to try to lure people to roll up their sleeves ahead of July 4. That news was announced by actor BILL PULLMAN, who reprised the epic presidential speech of in the 1996 blockbuster ‘Independence Day,’ a movie about an alien invasion.” The 2:12 ad
BUT THE GOP IS GOING ON OFFENSE ON RISING PRICES — The NRCC is up with new ads against 11 vulnerable Democrats, blaming the party for the rising cost of everything from burgers to gas. Spox MICHAEL MCADAMS tweets the reel.
STOCKPILE STATUS — “America’s pandemic stockpile struggles to ramp up,” by Erin Banco: “Supplies of critical medical products in the Strategic National Stockpile are still well below federal targets more than 18 months after the coronavirus first emerged in the United States, according to internal data obtained by POLITICO.”
FED FILES — “Fed Unity Cracks as Inflation Rises and Officials Debate Future,”by NYT’s Jeanna Smialek and Jim Tankersley: “Federal Reserve officials spoke with one voice throughout the pandemic downturn, promising that monetary policy would be set to full-stimulus mode until the crisis was well and truly behind America. Suddenly, they are less in sync.
“Central bankers are increasingly divided over how to think about and respond to emerging risks after months of rising asset values and faster-than-expected price increases. While their political counterparts in the White House have been more unified in maintaining that the recent jump in price gains will fade as the economy gets past a reopening burst, Washington as a whole is wrestling with how to approach policy at a moment of intense uncertainty.”
“In a letter to staff on Tuesday, a copy of which was obtained by The Post, [LAURA] WERTHEIMER did not acknowledge the Integrity Committee’s report or its allegations. She wrote that ‘President Biden should have the opportunity to fill both the FHFA Director and IG positions with his own nominees’ and that she ‘had no intention of staying for seven years.’ Wertheimer will leave her post at the end of July.”
POLICY CORNER — “Virtual care becomes a common cause in a divided Congress,” by Ben Leonard: “A set of telemedicine policies the Trump administration adopted during lockdowns is emerging as an unexpected bipartisan rallying point as lawmakers begin to weigh life after Covid-19. The coverage policies are due to lapse once the health emergency ends, which could limit telehealth payments to rural providers and doctors with existing relationships with patients.
“Lawmakers are lining up to decide what Medicare will pay for after the pandemic is over, with sponsors of a leading Senate plan confident they have the votes to include it in a must-pass piece of legislation this year. Telehealth lobbyists so far have failed to get extensions into Covid relief packages, in part due to concern over how they could drive up health spending and potentially invite fraud.”
ALL THE WAY TO THE BANKS — “Joining Trump at border, GOP congressman eyes path to power,” by AP’s Brian Slodysko: “Whatever that future may hold, the 41-year-old [Rep. JIM] BANKS is working aggressively to play a prominent role in it. A politician with mountaintop ambition, he is rising in the ranks of the House Republicans — and in the estimation of the mercurial Trump.
“Banks’ [recent] overnight trip to Trump’s Bedminster resort punctuated a political journey from a county council seat in small-town northeast Indiana to prominence in Congress in little more than a decade. It also served as a testament to the conversion Banks underwent from Trump critic to unapologetic supporter. … On Wednesday, Banks was invited to join Trump for a tour of the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, where the former president was expected to rail against illegal immigration.”
BENDING BIDEN’S EAR — “The most influential think tank of the Biden era has a new leader,” by Sam Stein and Natasha Korecki: “PATRICK GASPARD, a longtime Democratic operative who served most recently as president of the GEORGE SOROS-run Open Society Foundations, will take over as president and CEO of the Center for American Progress.
“His hiring ends a monthslong process to find a replacement for NEERA TANDEN, who left the post to become a senior adviser to President Joe Biden. And it immediately makes the 53-year-old Haitian-American one of the most powerful players in progressive politics outside of elected office. … Recently, there have been organizational concerns over the composition of the president’s bipartisan infrastructure deal; particularly, the absence of investments in climate and care initiatives. And like other liberal institutions, CAP is adjusting to a political climate in which its domestic priorities are being stymied by institutional hurdles, chiefly the Senate filibuster.”
REDISTRICTING READ — “Democratic-Leaning Suburbs Pose Redistricting Challenge for GOP,” by WSJ’s Chad Day, Cameron McWhirter and Dante Chinni in Gwinnett County, Ga.: “State officials and lawmakers across the country are preparing to redraw congressional districts this fall based on new population totals from the 2020 census. Republicans, who have greater control over the process because they hold majorities in more states with partisan redistricting processes, are grappling with how to approach once-reliably conservative suburbs that have more recently swung toward Democrats. …
“The process is complicated by the fact that the last election, which typically offers clues to the direction of the electorate, took place under the unusual circumstances of a pandemic with former President Donald Trump, a polarizing figure, atop the ticket. Those redrawing the districts must decide whether the results were an aberration — despite losing the White House and control of the Senate, many Republicans were heartened by the narrowing of the Democratic majority in the House — or should guide maps for the next decade.”
AUDIT FEVER — “Trump-backers want to export the Arizona ‘audit’ across the country,” by Zach Montellaro: “A monthslong examination of all the ballots from the 2020 election in Arizona’s most populous county may be winding down soon. But now the state is spreading the “audit” playbook across the country. Supporters of former President Donald Trump … are behind a new push to review the results in states including Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
“The new drive is worrying state election administrators, who say the efforts will further inflame conspiracy theories and erode faith in the American democratic system. The burden of these reviews could fall on the shoulders of state and local election officials, further complicating a field where many are worried about a brain drain due to exhaustion and threats workers faced in the aftermath of the 2020 election.”

Police are searching for a driver who plowed into a 9-year-old girl in her front yard in Georgia, leaving her with serious injuries including multiple broken bones.
Laderihanna Holmes was playing with another young girl outside her home in Lithonia, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta, when a vehicle suddenly jumped the curb and smashed into her on Friday, authorities said.
A home security camera captured the terrifying scene, showing a black sedan blow past a stop sign and slam into the family’s home at full speed.
Watch the crash in the video player above. It has been edited, but may be difficult for some to watch.
The suspect slipped out through the passenger-side door as family members rushed to help the young girl. Security video showed him staggering a bit before he took off on foot, leaving behind the vehicle. The family said a second person also fled the scene.
The family shared the security footage with ABC News on Sunday hoping that the driver might come forward. The owner of the vehicle said she was at work at the time of the accident and had given the car to her boyfriend, police said.
Investigators have not released any information about a potential suspect.
“It’s hard, but I have to be strong for her,” Laderihanna’s mother, Charlette Bolton, told ABC News on Sunday. “I just want everybody to pray for Laderihanna. The community loves her, her school loves her, her friends love her and I just want the people involved to be caught.”
Bolton, who spoke to ABC News along with the girl’s father and older brother, issued a personal message to the people who fled the scene.
“You know what you did. You didn’t try to help my baby,” she said. “You almost killed my baby and I hope you do the right thing and turn yourself in.”
The family’s attorney, Chris Stewart, said two teenagers were seen running from the scene after the crash.
“Those were teenagers that were in that vehicle, so we have to learn what happened and how they got a hold of that car,” Stewart said.
He said it’s a miracle the that the young victim survived the head-on collision.
“If you didn’t believe in miracles, you should now,” Stewart said. “The video is really hard to watch but she survived somehow. You gotta believe in God after seeing this.”
“I was shocked,” he added. “I deal with wrongful death all the time, and I cannot believe she survived it. When I want to see her in the room, she does not have a mark on her face.”
The young girl’s family said she sustained several injuries, including multiple fractures to her skull and pelvis, but they’re confident that she’ll recover.
“She’s strong, and I know she’ll bounce back from this,” her mother said. “It’s just going to take a while.”
An 8-year-old migrant boy from Guatemala apprehended by immigration authorities near the U.S.-Mexico border died on Christmas morning, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Congressman Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, identified the child as Felipe Alonzo-Gomez in a statement Tuesday evening.
In a press release Tuesday afternoon, the agency said Felipe showed “signs of potential illness” on Christmas Eve and was transferred, along with his father, to Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The boy was initially diagnosed with a common cold and fever and was released after being prescribed antibiotics, authorities said.
During the evening on December 24, however, officials said Felipe experienced nausea and vomiting, and was again transferred to the same hospital, where he died early the next day.
The medical center said it could not release any more information due to privacy regulations, but said, “Our thoughts and prayer are with this family during this very difficult time.”
Customs and Border Protection said the child’s official cause of death has not been determined. The agency added that the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Inspector General and the Guatemalan government had been notified, and that they were “engaging” with the boy’s father, as well with family members in Guatemala. The White House did not comment on the death and referred inquires to DHS.
Guatemala’s Foreign Ministry said Felipe and his father entered the U.S. through El Paso on December 18 and were transferred by American immigration authorities to the Border Patrol station in Alamogordo on December 23. The Guatemalan consulate in Phoenix was briefed and dispatched an official to interview the child’s father, the office said.
The Central American government pledged to help return the boy’s body to his family in Guatemala and to ask the Trump administration to conduct a “clear” investigation of the death.
Lawmakers seized on the incident to criticize the administration’s policy and rhetoric on immigration.
“Thanks to the Trump Administration, this is Christmas at the border. Another tragedy and death of a child while in the custody of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection as the world watches,” Congressman Adriano Espaillat, D-New York, said in statement on Tuesday.
Castro, chairman-elect of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, called on Congress to probe Felipe’s death when it reconvenes after Christmas. “The Administration’s policy of turning people away from legal ports of entry, otherwise known as metering, is putting families and children in great danger,” the Texas Democrat added.
The boy’s death comes two weeks after another migrant child, Jakelin Caal Maquin, died after being detained by border agents. The 7-year-old Guatemalan girl died on December 8 after reportedly experiencing dehydration and high fever. Her death provoked scathing criticism of immigration authorities by Democrats, who said the death was a result of President Trump’s “cruel and inhumane” immigration agenda.
DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Jakelin’s death was “a very sad example of the dangers of this journey.”
“This family chose to cross illegally,” she added.
CNBC reported Sunday that Lev Parnas plans to tell committee members that aides to the ranking member planned to meet with two Ukrainian prosecutors in an effort to obtain evidence to aid Trump’s reelection bid, but abandoned the efforts once they realized that Schiff’s staff would be alerted to the trip.
The offices of Nunes, ranking member on the House Intelligence panel, and Schiff did not immediately return requests for comment from The Hill on Sunday evening. Parnas’s planned testimony, if accurate, would implicate Nunes’s staff in the president and Giuliani’s efforts to push Ukrainian officials to open politically charged investigations into Biden, a top contender for the 2020 Democratic Party nomination.
Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee have argued that the president’s efforts were a clear example of Trump attempting to solicit foreign interference in a U.S. election, while also allegedly tying up military aid to the country over the issue.
Joseph Bondy, Parnas’s attorney, told CNBC that he hopes the committee will allow his client to testify. Parnas and a fellow Giuliani associate were recently arrested at Dulles International Airport and charged with campaign finance violations.
His client, Bondy told CNBC, wishes to provide “truthful and important information that is in furtherance of justice.”
“We have great faith that, in the end, the proper choice will be made as to when and whether to hear Mr. Parnas,” he added.
El presidente Donald Trump hablará este sábado por teléfono el presidente ruso Vladimir Putin, anunció el portavoz del Kremlin, Dmitri Peskov y luego fue confirmado por Sean Spicer, el vocero de la Casa Blanca.
Este será el primer contacto oficial por teléfono entre ambos mandatarios desde la toma de posesión de Trump, el 20 de enero.
Asimismo Spicer confirmó que este sábado Trump hablará con el presidente francés François Hollande y la canciller alemana Angela Merkel.
“Aprovechando al máximo la primera semana- mañana @POTUS (POTUS, cuenta oficial de Twitter del presidente de EEUU) hablará por teléfono con los líderes de Francia, Alemania y Rusia”, escribió Spicer en Twitter.
Getting the most out of the 1st full week- tomorrow @potus will speak by phone with leaders of France, Germany and Russia
El mandatario ruso Vladimir Putin había felicitado a Trump por su victoria poco después de las elecciones del 8 de noviembre, pero el Kremlin señaló que ambos líderes no han hablado desde entonces, a pesar de las acusaciones de espionaje que involucraban a ambos líderes.
Trump y Peña Nieto dialogaron por teléfono sobre el muro fronterizo
El presidente de Estados Unidos Donald Trump y su par mexicano Enrique Peña Nieto dialogaron telefónicamente por casi una hora este viernes. Así lo confirmó un funcionario de la Casa Blanca, según informó la cadena CNN.
Luego de que el presidente mexicano Enrique Peña Nietocancelara la reunión con su par estadounidense Donald Trump, cuando este anunció la construcción de un muro en la frontera entre los dos países, diferentes analistas vaticinan un futuro incierto y no exento de conflictos en la relación bilateral. Sin embargo, quizás esta llamada telefónica apacigüe un poco las aguas entre ambas naciones.
Donald Trump, volvió a usar su cuenta de Twitter personal este jueves para expresar su posición sobre el país vecino:
“México se ha aprovechado por mucho tiempo de EE.UU… Grandes déficits comerciales y muy poca ayuda en la débil frontera deben cambiar, AHORA!”, tuiteó el mandatario.
Mexico has taken advantage of the U.S. for long enough. Massive trade deficits & little help on the very weak border must change, NOW!
Venezuela: la escasez de medicamentos alcanza el 85 por ciento
“Mantenemos un nivel de falla de un 85 por ciento… No hay una verdadera planificación de la producción porque, lamentablemente, las empresas ya no pueden dedicarse a programar y planificar su producción por la cantidad de problemas que tenemos”, indicó el presidente de la Federación Farmacéutica Venezolana (Fefarven), Freddy Ceballos, en entrevista con el canal Venevisión.
Aunque señaló que el desabastecimiento de medicinas es ocasionado por varios factores, subrayó que en 2016 se recibieron “menos de la mitad” de las remesas que fueron entregadas el año anterior, y pidió a las autoridades que “se den cuenta” de que el problema es de producción y no de distribución.
“Lamentablemente, todas las políticas que ha implementado el Estado han sido hacia la distribución… no, señores, acepten que es un problema de abastecimiento, que es un problema de producción”, agregó Ceballos, de acuerdo a lo reseñado por El Comercio.
Festejos del Año Nuevo chino 4715: curiosidades y costumbres
El Año Nuevo es la celebración más importante para el pueblo chino, porque es el momento que la familia se une para esperar un nuevo año con renovadas esperanzas. Es una fiesta cargada de significados que augura paz, prosperidad y buena fortuna.
El Año Nuevo Lunar comienza con el principio de la primavera y, según el calendario lunar, comienza con la segunda luna nueva después del solsticio de invierno. Este año cae el 28 de enero y corresponde al Año del Gallo número 4715.
La víspera de Año Nuevo es considerada el día más importante del año. Debido a que China está muy ligada a la agricultura, los quehaceres del campo como arar en primavera, deshierbar en verano y cosechar en otoño, no dejan mucho tiempo para el reposo, por eso cuando llega el invierno queda más tiempo libre, y la gente aprovecha para celebrar diversas ceremonias como venerar al cielo, ofrendar a los antepasados, agradecer a los dioses del cielo y de la tierra por su protección y abundante cosecha, orar por la paz, buena salud y fortuna para la familia en el año entrante.
El 2017 es el Año del Gallo en el calendario chino.
Supernova camaleón desafía a los científicos
De acuerdo con estudios de la NASA, la supernova SN 2014C, también conocida como la Supernova Camaleón, está desafiando los modelos de los astrónomos sobre cómo las estrellas que explotan distribuyen sus elementos, ya que cambió drásticamente de apariencia a lo largo de un año debido a que, al parecer, expulsó gran cantidad de material al final de su vida, informó la agencia en su sitio web.
Cuando las estrellas mueren ocurre una violenta explosión estelar llamada supernova, cuyos elementos recién formados escapan y se esparcen en el universo.
La NASA explica que los astrónomos clasifican las estrellas explosivas en base a la presencia de hidrógeno en el evento. Las supernovas Tipo I son aquellas en las que hay muy poco hidrógeno y las que lo tienen en abundancia son muy raras y se les denomina Tipo II.

COLUMBIA — University of South of Carolina President Bob Caslen resigned May 12 amid a plagiarism scandal that capped two rocky years as leader of the state’s largest college.
Former USC President Harris Pastides has been named the interim president and will take over May 14.
Trustees Miles Loadholt and Eddie Floyd said the board took a vote via phone to discuss appointing Pastides, who retired in 2019 after 11 years in office, if Caslen left. Board chairman Dorn Smith said he sent an email to trustees announcing Caslen’s departure and Pastides’ return.
That means USC violated state open records laws requiring public notice of meetings ahead of time, another sign of problems for a board scrutinized after the presidential search that ended with Caslen’s controversial hiring.
Caslen, a retired three-star general and West Point superintendent, admitted to plagiarizing lines from the Navy SEAL who was in charge of the mission to take out terrorist leader Osama bin Laden during commencement addresses last weekend. He also called the school “the University of California.”
The missteps were met with calls for his removal online and in messages to trustees.
It was the latest in a series of stumbles for a leader who had trouble with the social nuisances of a job that requires wooing donors, lawmakers and students. Caslen’s end was a far cry from 2019 when he was seen as a president who could help tighten the school’s checkbook and win work with his military contacts.
“Turns out he was probably not the right fit to run USC,” said Floyd, the longest-serving trustee on the USC board.
Caslen, 67, offered to resign over the weekend, but it was rejected by Smith. Despite that assurance and a call of support from Gov. Henry McMaster, backing for the president continued to erode over the past days. Word began to spread that trustees were preparing to start exit talks.
Smith said Caslen called unexpectedly at 5:30 p.m. May 12 to say he was resigning.
“He just thought it was time to go, and I think that he was concerned about the support of the faculty and the students and everybody else,” Smith said. “We’re disappointed with the way things worked out.
“I think Bob Caslen did a great job at a lot of things that he won’t get credit for,” Smith added. “I think he handled the COVID crisis fabulously. And it’s just unfortunate that there were some missteps that were well publicized.”
Caslen said in a statement that he knew he had lost trust among the university community.
“Trust is the most important ingredient of effective leadership, and when it is lost, it is nearly impossible to lead,” Caslen said in an email to students and staff. “I believe that is the case right now between the University of South Carolina and its president. Therefore, I have submitted my resignation to the Board of Trustees this evening, May 12, and they have accepted it. This resignation is effective May 13, 2021.
“I am sorry to those I have let down. I understand the responsibilities and higher standards of senior level leadership. When those are not met, trust is lost. And when trust is lost, one is unable to lead.”
Smith said USC’s next president will be more like Pastides, a former public health school dean and research vice president who was known for connecting well with the campus community and politicians.
“I want a academician that is charismatic, that will lead a capital campaign and that also has a business sense,” Smith said.
Lou Kennedy, one of USC’s major donors, said she hopes the school can find a president who reflects the state’s diversity: “Now is the time for the Carolina community, and that includes the board, to stand up and be counted.”
USC did not have a woman among the finalists when the president’s job was last open.
USC Provost Bill Tate, who was a finalist to become school’s president in 2019 and was considered a successor to Caslen, will become the first Black president at Louisiana State University in July.
Caslen was never able to shake how he got the $650,000-a-year job in 2019.
He was a favored candidate by key leaders on the board and the search committee. His name was added to the list of presidential semifinalists by the search committee chairman, trustee Hugh Mobley, according to Marco Valtorta, a USC computer science professor who served on the search panel. Mobley said at the time the he did nothing wrong and declined further comment.
Calsen’s ascension scared away potential successors to Pastides, leaving him as the only finalist to have led a college. But groups of students, faculty and alumni were upset Caslen lacked the research background and doctorate of other major university leaders. He also put off some by rambling during forums, leading to misunderstandings about what he was saying.
The board did not pick any of the four presidential finalists at first, but McMaster lobbied trustees to hire Caslen and a new vote was taken. Caslen won the job with an 11-9 vote after a contentious board meeting as protesters chanted outside.
The governor’s involvement caught the attention of USC’s accreditors who investigated the political meddling but did not sanction the school. The board was asked to makeover its rules to avoid potential conflicts and operate more professionally.
Caslen started off well by boosting pay for faculty for the first time in more than a decade and freezing tuition. He hired the school’s first Black provost, Tate, and brought in his chief of staff from West Point, Mark Bieger, who helped improve relationships on and off campus.
Caslen got USC through the pandemic, first closing campus last spring and reopening in the fall.
But he had some missteps, notably in revealing USC spoke to Florida State about buying out the contract of its football coach as the Gamecocks coach struggled and he was unable to make big changes after several high-profile sexual harassment complaints.
Then USC mega-donor Darla Moore said she was cutting ties with the school this year after her alma mater neglected to note the passing of her mother this year. Caslen also had a reputation of not engaging smoothly with university community.
The plagiarism incident was too much to rescue his tenure.
The USC chapter of the American Association of University Professors wrote in a letter to the board May 12 that Caslen’s commencement speech violated the school’s code of ethics that emphasizes practicing personal and academic integrity, and his earlier resignation offer was “an appropriate acknowledgement of the transgression.”
“Unfortunately he had enemies out there that continued to attack him savagely him from day one,” Smith said. “And I think it just wore down on him and his wife as it would wear down on anybody.”
The brouhaha over Caslen’s plagiarism has angered some lawmakers, who question the board’s direction.
“I think it was the honorable thing to do,” state Sen. Dick Harpootlian, D-Columbia, said of Caslen’s resignation. “But it doesn’t resolve the questions surrounding the Board of Trustees.”
Harpootlian introduced a bill May 12 to reduce the size of the board from 20 trustees to 11, which would giving the state’s largest college the state’s smallest college board. The bill also would remove all the current trustees.
A similar bill was introduced after the problematic search that led to Caslen’s hiring in 2019.
La revista peruana “Somos” informó, en su reciente edición, que decidió no contar más como columnista de la publicación sabatina a Tomás Borda Noriega, conocido como el Dr. TV.
Como se recuerda, una investigación de Utero.pe dio cuenta que Borda copió información de diversas páginas webs, para dar sus respuestas en la columna “Consultorio médico”, de la mencionada revista, donde atendía preguntas de sus seguidores sobre salud.
“Ante la denuncia que daba cuenta de que algunas de las respuestas dadas por el Dr. Tomás Borda (personaje de América TV) en la página del consultorio médico que tenía en la revista Somos eran extractos idénticos a los contenidos en diversas páginas web, se procedió a pedir su versión”, inicia el comunicado de Somos.
El médico aseguró que su error fue no corroborar la información que le hicieron llegar sus colaboradores. “Borda afirmó que había encargado la investigación a personal que trabaja para él, y que cometió el error de no verificar la procedencia del material que este le entregaba para su posterior publicación”, es la versión del especialista.
“No podemos justificar ningún tipo de plagio de los colaboradores (…) Somos se disculpa con sus lectores”, finaliza el comunicado.
Cabe recordar que recientemente se descubrió que el cardenal Juan Luis Cipriani también copiaba textos e ideas de autoridades de la igleasia católica para elaborar sus columnas que publicaba en El Comercio.
The Mississippi State Department of Health issued an alert Friday warning against using an anti-parasite drug to treat or prevent COVID-19. The alert came as calls to the state poison control center have increased, with at least 70% being related to ingesting ivermectin – a drug commonly used for livestock.
“I certainly would strongly recommend people not take any medicine from a feed store or a veterinary source,” Mississippi Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs said Wednesday at a COVID-19 briefing. “It can be dangerous.”
Ivermectin is approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat humans with intestinal complications caused by parasitic worms and for topical use to treat conditions like head lice and rosacea. The drug is also commonly used to prevent heartworm disease and other parasites in animals. Ivermectin is not approved or recommended by the FDA to treat or prevent COVID-19 in humans.
Back in March, the FDA published an advisory warning against using the drug for COVID-19 treatment.
“Never use medications intended for animals on yourself,” the advisory said. “Ivermectin preparations for animals are very different from those approved for humans.”
Side effects associated with taking ivermectin include skin rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, facial or limb swelling, dizziness, seizures, sudden drop in blood pressure, coma and even death, the FDA reports.
Of the callers to Mississippi’s poison control center, 85% had mild symptoms, and no hospitalizations have been associated with ingesting the drug, according to the health department’s alert. One resident was instructed to seek further evaluation due to the amount of ivermectin they ingested.

“You wouldn’t get your medical treatment, you wouldn’t get your chemotherapy at a feed store,” Dobbs said. “I mean, you wouldn’t treat your pneumonia with your animal’s medication. It can be dangerous to get the wrong doses of medication, especially for something that’s meant for a horse or a cow.”
The health officer urged individuals to work with their primary care physicians and recommended eligible residents get vaccinated with one of the three vaccines authorized for emergency use by the FDA: Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and Moderna.
Mississippi, which has the second-lowest vaccination rate in the country, is in the midst of a record-breaking fourth wave as the Delta variant spreads across the state. As of Thursday afternoon, 5,048 new COVID-19 cases had been reported in the state, according to data from its department of health, and only 8.25% of intensive care unit beds are available statewide. Of those ICU beds, 59.87% are being used to treat patients with COVID-19.
“We are clearly at the worst part of the pandemic that we’ve seen throughout, and it’s continuing to worsen,” Dobbs said.
He issued an order Friday which threatened fines and/or jail time for residents diagnosed with the virus who do not isolate at home.
Brandon Elliot, the man who is suspected of assaulting an Asian-American woman in New York City on Monday, was on parole at the time of his arrest for a murder he committed in 2002.
Elliot was charged with two counts of assault as a hate crime, and one count each of attempted assault as a hate crime, assault and attempted assault. He was allegedly seen in a viral video kicking a 65-year-old Asian-American woman in the stomach and then repeatedly kicking her once she fell to the ground.
The New York City Police Department arrested Elliot early Wednesday, within 48 hours of the attack.
He was convicted of fatally stabbing his mother in 2002, police told NBC News, and was released from prison in November 2019. He’s on lifetime parole, according to NBC News.
Elliot was also arrested in 2000 for robbery, the New York Police Department told Newsweek.
Brandon Elliot was arrested early Wednesday morning for assaulting an Asian American woman. He was on parole since being released from prison in 2019 after being convicted of fatally stabbing his mother. New York Police Department
Police attributed his quick apprehension to the multiple tips the NYPD Crime Stoppers Unit received and the work of New York’s detectives. Elliot was arrested at his home.
The assault that led to Elliot’s arrest occurred on Monday in broad daylight. Surveillance video from the attack showed a man kicking a woman forcefully in the stomach as she was walking down the sidewalk. The man kicks her at least three times after she falls to the ground and then walks off. He allegedly also made anti-Asian statements.
At least three people witnessed the assault, and people were quick to point out that the bystanders did nothing to help the victim. A man inside the building lobby appeared to be watching the assault. Later in the video, two men walk into the frame and one closes the building door while the woman is on the ground.
The Brodsky Organization, which owns the building outside where the attack took place, posted on Instagram that the staff members involved were suspended pending an investigation in conjunction with their union. The company was also working to identify a third-party delivery vendor who was present during the attack so the “appropriate action” can be taken.
“We are extremely distraught by the horrific attack that occurred outside our building, and our hearts go out to the victim,” the Brodsky Organization said in its post. “We have been working closely with the NYPD, elected officials and civic leaders to provide any information and to seek justice.”
Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger called for President Donald Trump to resign on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday, while in a separate interview Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that impeachment should “absolutely” be scheduled and that it should go as far to bar Trump from being able to run for office again.
“I think the best thing would for the country to heal would be for him to resign, the next best thing is the 25th Amendment,” Kinzinger told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos.
“That’s why I call on Vice President Pence to do it,” he added. “This is the thing that just gets us out of the debate in Congress, it doesn’t victimize Donald Trump, it makes him look as bad as he has been here.”
Kinzinger also said that he doesn’t think impeachment is “the smart move” right now.
“I think it victimizes Donald Trump again and I think there’s a moment that we’re in right now where Donald Trump, he’s looking really, really bad,” Kinzinger said. “I’ll vote the right way you know if I’m presented with that I just think it’s probably not the smartest move right now but I think that’s going to be out of my hands.”
Kinzinger did add that he felt impeachment would be the right move if “we had more than basically 10 days left of the administration.”
“Yeah he’ll be impeached a second time but also exonerated in theory a second time, depends on how that trial goes, if they can do it when he’s out of office, Kinzinger said. “I think there’s a lot of ideas with censure — with preventing him from being able to run again. You know the reality is we just don’t have a lot of time in this administration left which right now is a good thing.”
Ocasio-Cortez said she backs impeachment.
“Our main priority is to ensure the removal of Donald Trump as president of the United States,” Ocasio-Cortez told Stephanopoulos on Sunday. “Every minute and every hour that he is in office represents a clear and present danger, not just to the United States Congress but frankly to the country.”
“We’re also talking about complete barring of the president — or rather of Donald Trump — from running for office ever again,” she added. “And in addition to that the potential ability to prevent pardoning himself from those charges that he was impeached for.”
Stephanopoulos pressed Ocasio-Cortez, bringing up a letter from House Republicans saying it would further divide the country.
“What happened on Wednesday, was insurrection against the United States. That is what Donald J. Trump engaged in and that is what those who stormed the Capitol engaged in,” she said. “And so when we talk about healing, the process of healing is separate and, in fact, requires accountability. And so if we allow insurrection against the United States with impunity, with no accountability, we are inviting it to happen again.”
She then criticized her colleagues for downplaying the severity of what happened at the Capitol.
“Perhaps my colleagues were not fully present for the events on Wednesday, but half of — we came close to half of the House nearly dying on Wednesday,” she said.
Kinzinger said that he agreed that the lives of members of Congress were at risk Wednesday.
“I think we were very close to actually having members of Congress killed,” he said. “We were blessed on the one hand to not lose any members of Congress, but we lost five people and it’s disgusting.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has asked members to be prepared to return to Washington this week in a letter, a signal that the House could take up and pass the impeachment article to the Senate after it is formally introduced on Monday. A draft article of impeachment circulating among House Democrats Friday would charge Trump with “incitement of insurrection.”
Stephanopoulos on Sunday pressed Ocasio-Cortez on the timing of impeachment, bringing up concerns that it could hold up legislation and confirmations at the beginning of President-elect Joe Biden’s administration. She said that addressing what happened takes precedence over the Senate acting on Biden’s nominees.
“I think we need to review what actually happened on Wednesday,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “The National Guard was requested by the D.C. Council, and was rejected. We are talking about and we are hearing about a complete and utter lack of preparation. The chief of the D.C. Capitol Police lied to House administration Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren about the preparations of what happened.”
“If we do not take corrective action right now, we are talking about those same potentially compromised element elements, being in charge of the president’s security, during the inauguration,” she added. “With profound respect, I believe that the president’s safety and the safety of the United States Congress and in the security of our country.”
“It takes precedent over the timing of nominations and the timing of potential confirmations,” she said. “This is an immediate danger right now.”
Ocasio-Cortez also said she did not think impeachment is the only remedy.
“We are looking towards multiple avenues. And I don’t — I do not believe that those avenues are mutually exclusive,” she said referencing the 25th and 14th Amendments.
“I don’t believe any of these avenues are competitive with one another. They all — they all frankly provide their own form of relief and their own forms of accountability and so I do not believe that this is a question of deciding or debating between which of these avenues we should pursue. I believe we should take an all-of-the-above approach,” she added.
On Sunday, Stephanopoulos pressed Kinzinger on why so few Republicans had spoken out against the president.
“I think a lot of it is fear,” he said. “You know there’s fear that infects so many sides of the debate right now.”
“We got Vice President Pence, one of the most faithful guys to Donald Trump, is now public enemy number one in Trump world,” he added. “I think that’s what it comes down to, but if you’re going to be fearful — just my humble opinion — if you’re going to be fearful in this job. It may not be the right job for you at this moment in time.”
Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Pat Toomey told Fox News on Saturday that he thought the president had “committed impeachable offenses.”
And later on “This Week,” Trump ally and former Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he thought the president committed impeachable offenses.
“If inciting to insurrection isn’t, then I don’t really know what is,” the ABC News contributor said.
