I'm originally from Puerto Rico. I was born in Santurce and raised in Rio Piedras. Have lived in Florida since 1999.
I have a doctorate degree in Medicine; completed in 1976. My Internal Medicine specialty was completed in 1979. Worked for Puerto Rico's health system until 1985.
At this time, I'm happily retired after working for the federal government for almost 28yrs.
I want to offer any knowledge that I have to anyone "out there" who is interested. My views are liberal in almost every sense. My knowledge is "eclectic" - a bit of everything. Music and reading are my passion. Blogging has also become a very interesting endeavor. Metaphysical topics attract me. I'm interested in news reporting human issues like injustice, discrimination and abuse - the "wrongly" affected.
My intention is to bring this knowledge to an understandable level and to help anyone in need. I'm open to questions and will answer them to the best of my ability.
Currently working on an enterprise whose main mission will be to bring peoples of all walks of life together. To be one .... since we ALL are ONE!!
The future looks bright and promising!!!
On August 21, 2018, jury members in the recent federal court trial being held in Alexandria, VA., on behalf of the republican President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort, based on 18 counts of tax evasion and bank fraud criminal charges, advised the presiding Judge T.S. Ellis III that they had reached a conviction on 8 of the charges but not all. For example, they determined that he was guilty of 5 counts of tax fraud for the years of 2010 -2016; two counts of bank fraud; and one count of failing to report on monies in a foreign bank account.
Judge T.S. Ellis III polled the jurists to determine if it was feasible that they could come to an agreement on the remaining charges before he declared a mistrial on those remaining counts.
It is safe to predict that Mr. Manafort is facing several years of jail time.
In his latest hysterical video, Randy Rainbow is weighing the pros and cons of the Omarosa tapes and book with a familiar Rodgers and Hammerstein ditty, watch below!

Janet needs no introduction. She’s known worldwide of the Jacksons’ family fame.
Daddy Yankee needs no intro in the world of reggaeton.
Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez (born February 3, 1977), known by his stage name Daddy Yankee, is a Puerto Rican singer, songwriter, rapper, actor, and record producer. Ayala was born in Río Piedras, Puerto Rico, and was raised in the neighborhood of Villa Kennedy Housing Projects.
Daddy Yankee is the artist who coined the word Reggaeton in 1994 to describe the new music genre that was emerging from Puerto Rico.
Janet Jackson and Daddy Yankee performed “Made for Now,” their new collaboration, for the very first time on television Friday night (Aug. 18). The pair took their own advice and moved their bodies with the upbeat song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Never in a million years could we have dreamed up a collab between Janet Jackson and Daddy Yankee, but alas, it’s 2018 and anything is possible in a post-Despacito universe. After they were spotted filming the video last month in New York, the reggaeton icon and pop titan have finally unleashed “Made for Now,” which finds the pair floating through the streets of Brooklyn with a troupe of international dancers from Ghana, Nigeria, Grenada, and Trinidad.
As we previously reported, the production of “Made for Now” harnesses Afrobeats’ global pop explosion, and dancers are dressed in bold, colorful prints. The Big Boss hops in towards the end of the track to drop off some posi vibes and underscore the song’s message of celebrating the present moment.
Jackson and Yankee worked on the music video with famed director Dave Meyers, who has collaborated with Missy Elliott, Britney Spears, Kendrick Lamar, and more. The two legends are set to perform the new song together on The Tonight Show on Friday.

As far as I’m concerned, a day with Aretha Franklin is the best antidote to all things having to do with hearing the news on the latest outrage delivered to us by our republican Reality TV Show President Donald Trump.
She has the distinction of having sung at the funeral for the Reverend Martin Luther King and at President Barack Obama’s inauguration.
The self-proclaimed diva passed away on the 16th of August 2018, at the age of 76 due to pancreatic cancer.
Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post penned a wonderfully moving tribute to the undisputed Queen of soul with a link to his favorite songs by Aretha Franklin. Below I’ve footnoted a link.

When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, And the dimpling stream runs laughing by; When the air does laugh with our merry wit, And the green hill laughs with the noise of it.
