For those that are soccer fans (like me), there is an interesting documentary on NETFLIX about the awarding of the World Cop of 2022 to QATAR. Indeed it was an odd and curious choice. Much ado of fraud and kickbacks started the investigations into FIFA. Now other groups are investigating the safety involved in the…
I’m sorry if I have to laugh at someone else’s misfortune,,,,,,but for the love of God, this tactic of trying to be famous for nothing needs to end. With Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and now Tik Tok, an entire billion dollar enterprise that produces literally NOTHING has been born. They are called “influencers”, and essentially they…
I have covered many times in the past and through the years, what I like to call the “PANAMA WAY”. As a very young republic, and one that truly did not have independence until the canal was fully handed over, PANAMA has developed it’s own way of going along. With the rhetoric of politics starting…
There is something amiss is Bocas del Toro. I call them my “Bocas Brigade”. Being run by in my opinion opportunistic fraudsters that move the goalposts, rife with crime, a dirty shithole, and an airport that is embarrassing. But wrapped around all this shit is some of the most beautiful land on the planet. Loaded…
Some years ago, I had a section called “Asshole of the Week” . My feedback was that I was too hard, so I ceased. But “La Estrella” then started “Crybaby of the Week” Watered down for sure, but I like what they do. I still say it is my idea though. Given with pride. …
OP ED: “JB” As Panama is my “HOME”, and has been for quite some time, I encourage those “tweeners” of Ex-Pats to take the same stance that if you are RETIRED and spend the majority of their time here should become more involved in the political process. With all of the aspects that one can…
The tentacles of ODEBRECHT are wrapped around the entire Republic of Panama, and yet solely created by the ingoing and outgoing administrations, they all want to place it on RICARDO MARTINELLI. I am an OPEN- RM Supporter- in that ONE can’t be blamed for the cookie jar that a MILIION hands were in. Out of…

It is “Labor Day” back in the US, and like many of the Ex-Pats that are now calling Panama home I encourage you to take this day to do something different and enjoy the day. All of us worked hard to get to be in a tropical paradise, and why the hell not take today…

I have an idea. MIRROR Executive Decree No. 215, which creates the Citizen Commission Against Corruption, under the coordination of the National Authority for Transparency and Access to Information, was promulgated in the Official Gazette.
