On April 28th, 2019, Spain held an election. No party won a majority, but the incumbent PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party) won a plurality.
In fifth place was the right-wing traditionalist nationalist party Vox, which got 10.3 percent of the vote and broke into Spain’s lower house of parliament, seating 24 representatives.
Vox is an interesting party, and definitely a party worth keeping an eye on.

Chick-fil-A is a fast food chain that sells chicken sandwiches, and very good ones, in my opinion and that of many others.
Chick-fil-A is under fire from Homosexual activists. Why?
Well, back in 2012, they were also under fire, so Chick-fil-A chickened out and did most of what the activists wanted them to do.
But here it is 2019, and Chick-fil-A is under fire. Why is that?

It’s now been 500 years since Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes arrived to Veracruz, Mexico. On April 21st, 2019, Cortes and his ships arrived to the island of San Juan de Ulua, right off Veracruz. The next day, April 22nd, 2019, the Spaniards went ashore. Thus began their conquest of the Aztec Empire, which fell on August 13th, 1521.
Cortes is the true Founder of Mexico. Before Cortes, the territory now known as Mexico did not form a single entity nor did its disparate peoples have a common identity. Without the Spaniards, Mexico would not exist.
Cortes conquered the Aztec Empire. After that, the Spaniards and their Indian allies continued to conquer adjoining regions until all of present-day Mexico was part of the Spanish colony of Nueva España (New Spain). That colony became independent in 1821 and was called Mexico. Most Mexicans descend from both Indians and Spaniards, thus they wouldn’t exist either.
So the story of Hernan Cortes half a millenium ago is not only interesting, but relevant to the Mexico of today.

Central Americans travel through Mexico to get to the United States. So the fewer that get stopped in Mexico, the fewer would make it to the United States.
A recent Reuters article presents evidence that Mexico is now getting tougher on Central American migrants crossing through Mexico.

Google Translate has its uses, but it’s not good for beginning Spanish students.
It now appears that Democratic party presidential campaigns have been using Google Translate a lot to produce their Spanish-language websites. A Politico article discusses this.

The Puerto Rican question arises again.
In Congress, a proposal for rapid Puerto Rican statehood has been introduced.
A recent National Review piece called for Puerto Rican statehood, with a bizarre justification for it. In all fairness to National Review, they did allow a rebuttal to be published a few days later.
As for myself, I support Puerto Rican independence.
