    Proposal to put a Lion statue in Sosua beach

    You know things are bad when satire can be so easily mistaken for fact. And yes, I thought it was real also.

    President Abinader to host US Secretary of State at Presidential Palace

    The article states that there are rare earth element lands in Pedernales, but not what they are or how they know. I don't recall ever hearing or reading anything about that. Maybe China knows.

    President Abinader to host US Secretary of State at Presidential Palace

    Me neither. Aside from gold, which isn't a rare earth mineral, what else do they have? Maybe the band is making a comeback.

    Bernardo Vega: What to say to Marco Rubio

    I disagree with your appraisal of Trump for a lot of reasons which have nothing to do with D.R. Considering the D.R.'s proximity to the U.S., the fact that it's a major hub for drug distribution, and the growing Chinese influence in D.R. and Latin America at large, I think Rubio's visit will be...

    Bernardo Vega: What to say to Marco Rubio

    Up until a few days ago I would have agreed with you, but since Rubio's trip to Panama - where he explained the new and improved facts of life to their president - it seems Trump is seriously concerned about China's influence in Latin America. Unlike previous administrations, I don't think he's...

    New Dominican ambassador to China will work to expand market access

    My mistake, it was in Plaza Internacional. No matter, it's gone. Thanks for the tip on Super Rico.

    New Dominican ambassador to China will work to expand market access

    Do you remember the "Kingdom Restaurant" in Bella Terra mall? They were gone after the pandemic. First Chinese I ever met there.

    I mentioned that, but she hates spandex. 🤣

    The dream faces reality, and woman returns to the DR voluntarily

    “The American dream is not like they painted it. Here you have to work hard….” were her final words. Sounds like she bought the wrong painting. Getting ahead by working hard is EXACTLY what the American dream is, as long as you do it legally. An old Dominican friend who is currently in the...

    2 Dominican teens die in wheel well of Jetblue aircraft

    Perhaps there should be signs in the wheel housing: "If you are reading this, you will die". For the illiterates, a pictogram of a giant wheel and a corpse. RIP kids. So sad that you weren't raised right.

    Dominicans in favor of Trump’s increase of raids and deportations

    From a Dominican facebook page talking about deportations (translated): Hopefully they don't deport my friend, who lives in Chicago, Brentwood, 18th ave, house #12 and arrives at 11pm from work.

    Are there any bars or restaurants still open on the beach?

    Dominicans in favor of Trump’s increase of raids and deportations

    She cleans houses and works part time in a local restaurant. She worked in accounting for a tobacco company in D.R. I know I'm biased, but she'd make a great American.

    Dominicans in favor of Trump’s increase of raids and deportations

    Against my advice, an old Dominican friend entered the U.S. on a tourist visa with her daughter 2 years ago and never left. She believed the lie that the previous administration told the world and figured she'd be okay. After Trump was elected, she joked that she was afraid I'd turn her in...

    Teen's Skull Smashed At Resort

    It might not be so far-fetched to consider, even without documented proof. A small fragment fractured beyond repair or use would likely not be saved, although in a possible criminal case I think everything should be saved.
