MIS PENSAMIENTOS with ALFREDO SANTOS 06.13.25

June 13, 2025 by wpengine

The deployment of government troops into American cities is beginning to shake the whole country.

Bienvenidos a La Voz Newspaper. As you know, there are so many things going on all around us today. The Trump administration is moving quickly to remake America into a vision that he believes will take us into the future, but the real question is who is “us”? The Make America Great Again movement doesn’t seem to include everyone. In fact, the slogan really refers to a previous
time when things were. . . ?

The deployment of government troops into American cities, discussions about invoking the Insurrection Act and the many attempts by Donal Trump to bend the Constitution are beginning to shake the whole country. If you thought you were immune to his plans, it might be time
to start paying attention because you are going to have to decide what you are going to do to save yourself and your family. Times are going to get tough. And I am not talking about the price of tomatoes.

As for this newspaper, we will continue to move forward for as long as we can, but I know there will come a time when will have consider our own future. As I look around, I see there are empty parking lots at the major fl ea markets. The men who use to hang out at Home Depot looking
for work are gone. People are indeed becoming more and more afraid.

For those who eligible to vote, it is time to consider just how important this right has become. Remember, Donald Trump won the White House for the second time with only 31.5% of the popular vote. Kamala Harris received 30.84% of the vote. But 36.32% of the eligible voters did
not bother to turn out to vote in November of 2024. Think about that as you watch television coverage of the protestors in the streets.
