FRENCH ANNOYINGLY RETAIN RIGHT TO CLAIM INTELLECTUAL SUPERIORITY OVER AMERICANS

Macron wins French presidency by decisive margin over Le Pen

As the news started coming in through social media, I felt an immense sense of relief.

It was a worldwide sigh which created a ripple effect as the French rejected fear, xenophobia, racism, populism, nationalism, isolation and the politics of the far right in a landslide.

Emmanuel Macron will be France’s next president!

His victory was hailed by his supporters as holding back a tide of populism after the Brexit vote and Donald Trump’s victory in the US election.

On Sunday, May 7, the people of France annoyingly retained their traditional right to claim intellectual superiority over Americans, as millions of French citizens paused to enjoy just how much smarter they were than their allies across the Atlantic.

In bars and cafés across France, voters breathed a sigh of relief in the knowledge that arrogantly comparing themselves to the U.S. population, a longtime favorite pastime of the French people, would remain viable for the foreseeable future.

LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA

Lin-Manuel Miranda, joins Congressional Democrats at a news conference to announce a new push to address the humanitarian and economic crisis in Puerto Rico

I have found a new hero, I have found a new man to admire.

I first heard about Lin-Manuel when he appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s late night show.

His ability with words and music immediately grabbed me.

Then I learned more about his Broadway his show “Hamilton”.

He’s a source of pride for the Puerto Rican people.

However, why is he my hero now?

Many of you may know that Puerto Rico is going through and experience very tough times.

You may have heard that Puerto Rico isn’t able to pay its billionaire debt.

However, there’s so much more to the situation than that.

Those who have followed this blog may know that the situation is partly because of the political limbo in which Puerto Rico has been since becoming a territory/colony of the USA.

The only Puerto Rican “celebrity voice” who has come out, loud and clear, making a case to help Puerto Rico get back on its feet has been Lin-Manuel.

This past week he visited John Oliver and did an awesome job in spreading this message.

It’s gone viral!!

A Facebook page has posted his intervention with Spanish subtitles as a public service for Puerto Ricans to better understand his message.

“Ante lo viral que se ha tornado la intervención de Lin-Manuel Miranda en el programa de John Oliver, hemos subtitulado su contenido en español para el consumo de todos los puertorriqueños como un servicio público.”

I’m including a short video where Lin-Manuel explains.

Please, take a look!
