El presidente Donald Trump quiere reducir los debates públicos sobre su salud.

El presidente de mayor edad en asumir el cargo ha sido acosado por preguntas sobre visitas recientes al médico, moretones en sus manos y si se ha quedado dormido durante eventos públicos.

Trump desestimó estas preocupaciones en una entrevista aparentemente improvisada con The Wall Street Journal esta semana, en la que atribuyó los moretones visibles a una alta dosis diaria de aspirina —más de lo que recomiendan sus médicos— y dijo que tiene mucha energía.

El presidente, quien durante años criticó la edad y la salud cognitiva del expresidente Joe Biden, publicó el viernes en Truth Social que había superado con éxito su “tercera prueba cognitiva consecutiva”.

Pero estas revelaciones han hecho poco para calmar el renovado escrutinio sobre su salud.

De hecho, aquí hay cinco preguntas que han surgido a raíz de sus más recientes revelaciones sobre su salud.

El médico encargado del cuidado de Trump y quien recientemente declaró que goza de una salud excepcional es el Dr. Sean Barbabella, un capitán de la Marina nombrado para el cargo en marzo. Barbabella se especializó en trauma de combate y atención de emergencias durante su tiempo en las fuerzas armadas. Ha defendido las recientes imágenes médicas avanzadas y el examen físico semestral de Trump este año como parte de exámenes y cuidados de rutina.

Es el más reciente de una serie de médicos personales que han elogiado la salud física y cognitiva de Trump.

Cuando Trump asumió su primer mandato, mantuvo al Dr. Ronny Jackson, quien había sido médico personal del presidente Barack Obama y llegó a ser uno de los asesores personales más cercanos de Trump después de una conferencia de prensa en la que elogió los “genes increíbles” del entonces presidente número 45.

Jackson dejó su cargo en la Casa Blanca en marzo de 2018 cuando Trump lo propuso para dirigir el Departamento de Asuntos de Veteranos. Pero retiró su postulación un mes después en medio de acusaciones sobre su conducta profesional en la Casa Blanca. Actualmente es representante republicano por Texas.

A Jackson le siguió el Dr. Sean Conley, un médico de emergencias de la Marina que en 2019 dijo que Trump estaba “en muy buena salud” y que esperaba que el presidente “siguiera así durante el resto de su presidencia y más allá”.

Durante la pandemia de covid-19, Conley recetó hidroxicloroquina, un medicamento antipalúdico que ganó popularidad entre los conservadores como una terapia alternativa —aunque no comprobada— para prevenir la infección por el virus, como medida preventiva para Trump. En octubre de 2020, cuando Trump contrajo covid-19, Conley supervisó su tratamiento.

Los médicos de la Casa Blanca fueron precedidos por el Dr. Harold Bornstein, médico personal de Trump durante mucho tiempo en la ciudad de Nueva York. Durante su primera campaña presidencial, Bornstein proclamó en una efusiva carta que Trump “será el individuo más saludable jamás elegido” presidente.

Más tarde, Bornstein dijo que Trump le dictó esa carta por teléfono. Después de la elección, dijo que funcionarios de Trump allanaron su consultorio para obtener los registros médicos personales del presidente, una versión que fue disputada por funcionarios de la administración, quienes dijeron que se trató de una entrega ru

(CNN) — Over three decades ago, the US government executed the shocking arrest of the leader of a foreign country: Panama’s Manuel Noriega. The dictator’s case may prove to be a guide for the prosecutors, defense attorneys and judges now involved in the case against Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro.

Like Maduro, Noriega was accused of participating in a large-scale operation to smuggle drugs into the United States. And Noriega was also captured in a military operation in his home country.

Noriega’s attorneys quickly launched an aggressive defense of the military leader, accusing President George H.W. Bush’s Justice Department of violating both international law and due process protections by invading Panama and arresting him abroad.

They also claimed that Noriega had immunity as a foreign head of state.

Maduro, who prosecutors say ran “state sponsored gangs” and facilitated drug trafficking in the Venezuela, will “likely raise a series of significant objections to the prosecution” like those Noriega attempted, Steve Vladeck, CNN legal analyst and professor at Georgetown University Law Center, said in his “One First” newsletter.

The case will likely involve “novel constitutional and international law arguments” that may attract some high-profile top criminal defense attorneys, CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig said Saturday. “We’ve really seen very little like this.”

Noriega’s arguments were ultimately unsuccessful — he was tried and convicted in 1991 and given a 40-year prison sentence. (Following his sentence in 1992, a federal judge ruled the former dictator was a Read more

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) Some people woke up to the sound of rushing water and pounding rain drops.  

The latest storm tested the De La Vina Bridge Project in Santa Barbara

It crosses Mission Creek.

The bridge widening project is intended to make sure it can withstand rainfall .

The creek and the construction zone held up well during the latest storm.

While most people hunkered down indoors, others did what they could to protect their neighborhoods.

  Jim Daley grabbed his shovel and went to work in Samarkand where storm drain can get clogged.

"It'll back up to where the road is pretty flooded, it'll cross over the street but it will also back iup over the sidewalk and into my backyard," said Daley.

Downstream near Oak Park, the creek looked high but not overflowing all that can chance in no time depending on the rain totals.

Portions of local highways and streets are impacted by mud and flooding and boulders coming down.

If drivers get caught in a downpour they should make sure their wipers work, their lights are turned on, and avoid sudden breaking.

If possible stay home.
