In June, the two most important heads of state in the Western Hemisphere met in San Salvador. Merco Press reported at the time, “On his way back from California, Argentine President Javier Milei stopped in El Salvador for Nayib Bukele's new inauguration ceremony, which was also attended by other heads of state and government, such as King Felipe VI of Spain with whom he exchanged a brief moment that caught the eye given the recent diplomatic crisis with the Socialist administration of Pedro Sánchez.”
The two men have emerged as reformers of sloppy governments in their country. They threw down the gauntlet this week and challenged the new world order of governments being in cahoots with corporations. They take on actual fascism nearly 80 years after Italians executed Mussolini and his mistress.
Oh, I could do the hokey thing and credit Donald Trump for inspiring them, but that is trite and worse, wrong. The situations these men faced in their home countries were so dire that they jumped into the fray to save their nations. They seem to be successful.
El Salvador was the murder capital of the world. Bukele took over and sent hundreds of thousands of gang bangers to prison. San Salvador is now the safest city in the Western Hemisphere.
Milei has reintroduced capitalism to the Argentinian economy and has begun weeding the government agencies with a chainsaw.
This week, they were among the world leaders who spoke at the annual opening of the United Nations, which had devolved into a wannabe world government.

Why write three sentences when one will confuse the reader enough?
“The two men have emerged as reformers of sloppy governments in their country.”
The two most important leaders in that part of the world since the guy that had commies taken for helicopter rides (I’ve been told that he was a “Leftist,” lol).
Oh, I forgot: are there two men but just the one country in that sentence? Editors, do your jobs!
Great post. Thanks for posting.
Great words from Don Surber. Thanks for posting.
And the man behind the helicopter 🚁 rides was Augusto Pinochet, in case you didn’t know his name.
Why look at what could be when we can be unburdened by what has been?
We can have the opportunity for our dreams, ambitions and aspirations.
Armando Bukele Kattán (16 December 1944 – 30 November 2015) was a Salvadoran businessman of Palestinian origin and Muslim religious leader and father of current Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele.

And he has Christian close family members as well. He keeps his core beliefs close to his vest, but he says all the right things publicly in his heavily Catholic/protestant country. There’s no reason to think he is crypto-Islamist and he is at the very least respectful of the Judeo-Christian worldview (Israel is very popular in El Salvador), unlike Western leaders.
Almost as great was his plan as implemented showing that social security systems could be privatized with astounding success. He didn't write the plan, but he knew who to call on to do it.
Between that one-two punch, Chile went from being just another Latin American banana republic to first world status in a single generation.

“I am unburdened by what has been,” every time I take a shit.
I do not need a lesson on taking a crap from Kamala Harris.
Neither do the vast majority of US citizens.
Milei’s speech to the UN was astounding.
Many suspect him of being a opportunist just saying what he thinks will get him elected, but even if true what he said was breathtaking for that gang of Orks: he trashed their collective collectivism and told them it was a failed ideology of the past, and made a full throated defense of life, liberty and property with an emphasis on economic liberty.
Imagine that the President of Argentina is three standard deviations smarter then the President of the United States. But it’s true.
True heroes *bump*
