El julio lo escribimos, en octubre lo nombraron.
¿Podría ser el próximo canciller del régimen?
Oliver Blanco gana cada vez más protagonismo dentro de la Cancillería del régimen, consolidándose como una de las figuras de mayor influencia en la política exterior y en la coordinación con países como Estados Unidos.
Su ascenso coincide con el intento de Delcy Rodríguez de proyectar una nueva imagen en medio del giro político que busca impulsar el oficialismo.
Mientras tanto, figuras como Iván Gil permanecen identificadas con la vieja línea diplomática del chavismo, marcada por una política exterior alineada con la izquierda latinoamericana y sus aliados que ahora son molestos en su nueva relación con Estados Unidos.

BREAKING: The U.S. economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.4% in the third quarter, beating economists' expectations of 3.2%.
The stronger-than-expected GDP report comes as President Trump makes his final push on the campaign trail, with the midterm elections just days away.

#ATENCIÓN | Miren esto! Un motociclista que pasaba por Caraballeda, La Guaira, grabó la concentración de María Corina Machado y lo que había era solo tres pelagatos. Una prueba más de que se les acabó el respaldo y la gente ya no les cree. #volvimosconmascafe

At least 64 dead, over 100 injured, many seriously after two high speed trains collided with appx 544 passengers aboard in Spain.
The Iryo was stopped after a signaling system failure; the following AVE struck it, derailing carriages down an embankment.
Cause under investigation. This is the second major fatal crash on the line this year. Services suspended.
Thoughts with the victims and families.

Armed guards at the door. Opioids offered on repeat. Apple Pay at my bedside. Welcome to the American Emergency Room.
The French think it bankrupts you. Americans think France does it for free. I’ve been to the ER in both. Both are wrong.
Mountain bike crash, dislocated and fractured shoulder. I’m French, I live in San Francisco, and I take slightly too many risks. Let’s compare.
Security
🇺🇸 Kaiser in Marin. Three armed guards and a metal detector. My phone set it off, so with my shoulder out of its socket I walked through again. And again. Then a pat-down.
🇫🇷 A couple of unarmed guys with walkie-talkies. Still not sure what they’re for.
Wait
🇺🇸 Three people in the waiting room. Seen in 15 to 30 minutes.
🇫🇷 Broken hand: packed room, 4 hours before anyone touched me.
Records
🇺🇸 Kaiser is vertically integrated. Insurer, hospital, doctors: one system. They had my file before I sat down.
🇫🇷 Every new doctor is a fresh context window. Zero history, maybe a printout from last time.
Infrastructure
🇺🇸 Small hospital, serious kit. Straight to the trauma bay: real bed, IV, vitals monitoring, ready for surgery if needed. All imaging on the spot.
🇫🇷 Broken hand: a plastic chair and a Doliprane.
Drugs
🇺🇸 Strong opioids were the default offer. I said no. They insisted. The doctor came in personally, confused why someone in that much pain would refuse. I stuck to Tylenol, an anti-inflammatory, to put the shoulder back in.
Yes, it hurt. No, I didn’t tap out. My mom is proud of me.
🇫🇷 Broken hand: Doliprane, opioids never mentioned. I have friends who got their shoulder popped back in with nothing at all.
US default: opioids. French default: Doliprane.
Bill
🇺🇸 Every nurse warned me: “You’re French, this bill is going to traumatize you.”
Before discharge, someone came to my bed to collect payment. Apple Pay, from the hospital bed. $300. For everything. On a ~$500/month Kaiser plan.
🇫🇷 A flat ~€20 ER fee, usually reimbursed by your mutuelle. The real bill shows up later, on your payslip (see below)
followup
🇺🇸 Kaiser called me right after to set up follow-up and physio, all in their system. So far, so good.
🇫🇷 Broken hand: discharged, figure it out yourself. A friend dislocated her finger. They put it back in wrong, sent her home with bad instructions, it locked up, and she needed surgery months later. Still not fixed.
“Free healthcare” in France
It’s not free when your marginal tax rate nears 70% with social charges. And if you want quality care fast, more and more people pay for private clinics anyway.
Verdict
One person, one data point. But the care was 10x better than anything I’ve had in France, for a price that’s completely fine.
France has a lot to learn.
And yes, I refused the narcotics to stay sharp enough to launch a NanoCorp from my hospital bed. Launch your first company run by an AI agent: nanocorp .so

Y gracias a Trump más de 1700 desde el 03 de enero han sido liberados.
Se está llevando a cabo el primer encuentro de @MariaCorinaYA con los familiares de los presos políticos venezolanos. Son 324 héroes que siguen detenidos injustamente por la dictadura de Delcy Rodríguez y hoy nos estamos solidarizando con todos para pedir por su libertad.

COLOMBIA Y ESTADOS UNIDOS INICIAN EJERCICIO MILITAR CONJUNTO CON MÁS DE 300 SOLDADOS ESTADOUNIDENSES
Colombia recibirá a más de 300 militares de Estados Unidos para participar en Vanguardia del Sur 2026, un ejercicio multinacional que se realizará del 27 de octubre al 11 de noviembre en el Fuerte Militar de Tolemaida, Cundinamarca.
El entrenamiento busca fortalecer la interoperabilidad entre ambos ejércitos con prácticas enfocadas en la lucha contra el narcotráfico, la explotación ilícita de yacimientos mineros, las amenazas con drones y las evacuaciones médicas.
La actividad refuerza la cooperación militar entre Bogotá y Washington en operaciones de seguridad y respuesta a amenazas.

En Venezuela cambiaron los rostros, los discursos y las promesas, pero nunca rompieron con el modelo socialista. Algunos siguen llamándolo oposición. La ceguera ideológica impide ver lo evidente: despertar duele, pero seguir engañado cuesta un país..
Subnormal DESPIERTA
