This is today's headline on Puerto Rico's leading newspaper. Today is also the traditional Spanish/Catholic Day of the Saintly Innocents.

Go to the bottom of the article: “Editor’s note: this story is not true. Happy April Fool’s Day!”

This is stunning news. Does this mean Spain will be responsible for electrical power restoration? What happens to all the pharmaceutical plants operating there? I can’t help but think that the current drug shortages in the US won’t be resolved anytime soon.

I think if you actually put this up for a vote within Puerto Rico....it’d likely pass with 60-percent of the vote.

Nota del editor: esta historia no es verídica. ¡Feliz Día de los Santos Inocentes!

Anyone know the Spanish word for "Onion"?

Is today the Spanish equivalent of April Fools Day?

That said, I hope this story is true. It would create some interesting dual citizenship issues.

Too bad this is fake news. The US would be better off without this supplier of electoral poison. Voters who have moved from PR are poised to inject their left wing influence into Florida politics.

It’s all your’s Spain. Take it back please!

An April fool in December. Way too good to be true.

Even though it is the end of December, it had to be an “April Fools” type of story. Spain is suffering from the Catalonia Crisis and to take on Puerto Rico (ironically ‘Rich Port’) on top of that would be the absolute height of madness!

In an even more stunning development, DJT, under pressure from his Russian buddies, is negotiating for the return of Alaska and Northern California, while Spain has made overtures for Southern California and Mexico. These deals remain secret behind closed doors - so move along.

Day of the Holy Innocents

In Spain and Latin America is usual to make jokes of all kinds on this date. The media makes jokes or misrepresents their content in such a way that the information seems real. It is a freedom given by media agents to give free rein to their sense of humor, an opportunity they only have once a year. It is tradition that the newspapers publish entire pages of comic news, with the warning that it is the day of the innocent, ranging from those that are an obvious mockery to any recent event, to those that seem serious and deceive the unsuspecting reader. The day of the innocents is lived throughout the Spanish-speaking world.

Even if true, why would Spain want it?

Spain can take California too if Mexico does not want it.
