TWO YEARS AGO TODAY
Tragedy struck in the early hours of the night
It was a night of fun and celebration at a Latin even at Pulse, a local LGBTQ night club in Orlando.
Most victims were Latino and Hispanic.
It was Pulse’s Latin Night.
It was a horrible situation.
It was a huge hit for the Latino and Hispanic communities.
It was reported that 90% of the victims were Latino/Hispanic with 23 of the victims from Puerto Rico.

~Steve Irwin’s family returns to Animal Planet 11 years after his Death~
No question: Animals are the Irwin family business.
That’s why we’re so excited to learn that Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin are returning to create shows and projects for Animal Planet, 11 years after the tragic death of family patriarch Steve.
According to a press release, the Irwins will be global ambassadors for Discovery Communications, which owns Animal Planet. On the channel, they will develop and produce television projects.
The youngest Irwins (Robert is 13, Bindi, 19) basically have their interest in animals and most especially crocodiles in the blood. Their parents, Steve and Terri, made footage of themselves trapping crocodiles on their honeymoon for a special that aired in Australia in 1996. “The Crocodile Hunter” became an international sensation for Animal Planet, which aired the series from 1996-2007.

More than 20 years since the premiere of “The Crocodile Hunter” on Animal Planet, his family is honoring the late Steve Irwin in a new series.
His wife Terri and children Bindi and Robert join TODAY to talk about it: “I hope he’d be proud,” Terri Irwin says.
And they’ve brought along some animal friends: a sloth, an alligator and a prehensile-tailed porcupine.

THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW 9/25/17
WORDS FROM THE MAYOR OF SAN JUAN
Again, this is very close to my heart.
San Juan is a city where I practically grew up.
Everyone knows where San Juan is.
I have family living there.
Who will you believe?
The people who are far away claiming that an amazing job is underway or the people on the ground who are living through this unending, dangerous nightmare?

THE PIANO GUYS AND ME
Those who have followed this blog must be aware that I have always been an ardent fan of The Piano Guys and their awesome music.
I have blogged plenty about them.
I have all their CDs. I have their sheet music.
I have some of their merchandise.
‘We haven’t changed who we are, what we stand for, or what our music means and why we write it.’
Yes, you have changed!
You have normalized something that is totally and completely wrong!
I’ve read your full statement. I respect your reasons and your decision. However, I can no longer follow you. I’ve enjoyed your music! I’ve been thrilled by your videos. I have shared all knowledge I posses about you. I’ve been on of your most ardent fans. In spite of your reasons, I’m very disappointed that you have decided to participate. It’s a real sad decision for me to ‘disconnect’ from you and your music.
Your music, your beliefs … are so elevated.I really am very saddened by your decision.
“It brought tears to my eyes.”
Therefore, we part ways today!

The Piano Guys
Last night as I was kissing my daughter good night she asked me in an innocent, but tentative tone, “Daddy, why are people mad at you?”
It brought tears to my eyes.
I told her that I wish I could gather up everyone angry with the Piano Guys one by one and talk with them face to face. Hear their story. Empathize with their concerns, and mourn together so we could comfort each other. We, too, are distraught and despondent over how divisive this chapter in our nation’s politics has been. We, too, want what’s best for everyone in this country. Those of you who know us, know we grew up as “nerdy” musicians and we experienced bullying firsthand.
We abhor and decry bullying.
You know that we honor our relationships with our spouses more than anything else. You know we believe women are Divinely appointed to not only equality, but also respect and chivalrous deference. You know that in our history our ancestors were refugees, driven from their homes in fear for their lives. We emphatically embrace those now in the same situation. You know we believe in loving all people, regardless of gender, race, political affiliation, country of origin, or religious background.
You know we believe that differences are meant to be celebrated, not calculated.
If you know our music, you know that we painstakingly, prayerfully write and perform it with the intention to give it the greatest potential to lift others and break down barriers, not build them.
Many have asked why we are performing at the Inauguration.
To our friends who have felt disturbed by our involvement, we want you to know that this doesn’t lessen our gratitude for what you have done for us. Not one bit. We still feel indebted to you. We love you. You give our music wings! We sincerely hope and pray for your understanding. We don’t feel right limiting our positive message only to people that believe or act the same way we do. We haven’t changed our message. We haven’t changed who we are, what we stand for, or what our music means and why we write it. We’re still doing what we’ve always done – playing for anyone who will hear our musical message with the hope that it persuades its listeners to love others.
