More human remains have been found during an excavation in the property of the church built in colonial times Iglesia Nuestra Señora del Carmen. How far back in time these go? Who were they? Direct ancestors of today’s Dominicans or foreigners that were for a short time in Santo Domingo when...

Now the second time the same pilot flies the same airplane to the DR. This time from Panama to La Romana.

The new OMSA buses (that are electric) arrived in Santiago.

Btw, a Chinese store owner around there has been arrested and will be prosecuted by hiring illegal immigrants from Haiti only.

Migración moved in the area of avenida Duarte, París, Martí, etc. I don’t know if it went as far south as Parque Enriquillo. https://x.com/rafaelgil251051/status/1928464148028850543

I bet Nuria will be quiet about this one. She wasn’t here: And here:

The issue is that some Dominicans don’t have a clue what becoming like Haitians is truly about (it also goes that given enough of them in a single place, that place will function more like Haiti than anywhere else.) These are the types tht think uniting the DR and Haiti = the DR for the entire...

José Peguero made a report concerning the arrest of Martínez in Puerto Plata. According to Peguero, the guy made a video while he was in the cruiseship off the coast of Puerto Plata asking Dominican authorities to arrest him. Obviously, he made an error of judgment thinking Dominican authorities...

I think some people are allergic to thinking ahead, of the possibilities and reducing the risks. Then the worst happens and they are in shock that it happened and then wonder how could that be. Well, if at first you were clear what the actual situation was and the risks involved we could had...

At least the Dominican government is opening its eyes. For many years the decisions the Dominican made (and said) about the issue of Haiti would had been appropriate if the DR doesn’t border a failed state that will not be going anywhere in the immediate future. Nothing the Haitian government...

They weren’t aware of the DR in general. Some of the things were: - Never heard of it. - Saw a map of the DR and noticed Haiti is next door, the automatic assumption was “it must be the same.” Haiti’s image had already been tarnished and back then it was a semi-functioning country with no gang...

Most of the north coast of the DR wasn’t covered with a doppler radar until now. I think this covers the Santiago area too, in fact much of the Cibao. 5:40

They want to make it seem as if the DR wants Haiti to be in the mess they put it in (worse than every developing country in Latin America.) If Haiti was more like Jamaica it would be better not just for them, Dominicans too. More money to be made with that type of Haiti that doesn’t exist right...

Representatives of the Haitian government in Washington DC blame the DR and Colombia for its gangs. Jump to 3:05 where the Haiti issue is touched. Before that the topic is the 5% tax on remittances which is a policy of Trump and whatever he says he will do he does it regardless of all the...

Was he bored or the last girlfriend dumped him and he took it out on every woman on the road?

The issue isn’t foreign labor per se, rather illegal foreign labor. That’s where the widespread theft of money that is supposed to go in favor of the worker is pocketed (I would say stolen) by the employer. Paying them the added costs which is pocketed by the employer and has to pay with every...

Except this is a case of an illegal immigrant from Haiti stealing from the hand that fed him. I don’t see why some people are bothered by that. When stories about Dominicans stealing from their employers is posted, none of them react with “the title is misleading, it should “general” rather than...

First, leave Yale out of that. Then, even the Haitians say: “All Haitians speak Haitian Creole. But only 5% speak French fluently, with only another 5-10% able to understand some French.”...

A Cuban guy that has been living in the DR for 10 months clear up stereotypes about Dominicans that he believed prior to living in the country. He touches several such as all Dominicans are dumb, the only Dominican music is Dembow, DR tourism is only Punta Cana and others including all...

The Dominican artist Tokischa, who became well known with her very liberal type of music, is getting the realization the DR is actually a very conservative country. Every residential building she has applied to either rent or buy an apartment has rejected her (either the management or residents...
