In Latin America, many detested that Bad Bunny performance

 The Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime performance, supposedly to cater to Latinos, not just in the states but beyond them into Latin America itself, drew lots of praise from those who didn't speak Spanish as being wholesome and all about family values. It can be viewed here.

But for those who understood the actual lyrics, meaning, Latin Americans who speak Spanish, and Latinos in the U.S., it was another story.

Here's a sampling of X responses from actual Latin Americans, and Latino Americans, for whom this nasty act supposedly catered, often using the typically blunt language of the region. Hit Grok Translate on the X site to see the English translation:

They didn't want their culture associated with it. They didn't even think it was authentic:

... and the language was indeed filthy, more Compton than Caguas:

Unlike non-Spanish-speaking north Americans, Spanish-speaking Latin Americans actually heard the lyrics loud and clear, experiencing the show very differently from the candy-puff-minded wokesters in the press who declared it wholesome stuff.

Most said it represented a Hollywood-valued approach that had nothing to do with their own cultures, which have not experienced this sort of globalist cultural corruption, and who want no part of it. They resented being lumped in with this insulting, obscene, gibberish under the header 'Latino' whose values sure as heck don't represent them.

In addition, many didn't appreciate the subliterate use of the Spanish language, or, for that matter, the foul language:

A third problem for many Latin Americans and Latino Americans is Bad Bunny's Venezuelan Chavista roots, something they pay closer attention to in Latin America than in the U.S., given the threat it poses and the damage it's caused. They know this guy is a Chavista shill:

So if the aim were to win over a Latino audience to the U.S. sport of football, which seems a stretch anyway given Latin America's love of soccer, it didn't work. Latin Americans heard it loud and clear and anecdotally, at least, declared it had no place in their culture.

This rubbish belongs to the commercialized global left.

No thanks -- and do check the voting patterns in the region for confirmation of the trend against these rotten values.

Ryan Routh sentenced to life in prison for attempted assassination of Donald Trump

 Ryan Routh, the man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump in 2024 while the Republican politician was running for president, has been sentenced to life in prison.

U.S. Judge Aileen Cannon sentenced Routh, 59, to life on Wednesday, with her denouncing Routh’s actions as those of an “evil” man, reported ABC News affiliate WPBF.

Cannon also praised the actions of law enforcement, as well as witnesses, in bringing Routh to justice, adding that “despite all the evil we see, there is a sliver of hope, a sliver of light.”

On Sept. 15, 2024, an armed Routh got as close as 300 yards from Trump while the then-Republican presidential candidate was at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida.

A Secret Service agent spotted Routh as he got closer and opened fire, with Routh fleeing the property. Routh was apprehended by authorities shortly after he fled the golf course.

According to court documents, Routh had written a letter before the attempted assassination, addressing "the world," and saying, "I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster."

"It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job," read the handwritten letter. "Everyone across the globe from the youngest to the oldest know that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less a U.S. president."

Last September, a jury found Routh guilty on the charges of attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, assaulting a federal officer, felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

2 more arrested for involvement in Cities Church protest: Bondi

 U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that two more individuals have been arrested for their alleged involvement in a protest against federal immigration enforcement that disrupted a Minnesota church service.

Ian Davis Austin and Jerome Deangelo Richardson were arrested for their alleged connection to the protest last month in which demonstrators stormed Cities Church in St. Paul on Jan. 18, where a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official serves as a pastor.

“If you riot in a place of worship, we WILL find you,” stated Bondi in an X post on Monday announcing the arrests, labeling the protest a “coordinated attack.”

Those arrested in connection with the protest are facing charges under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which includes a provision protecting houses of worship from physical intimidation.

‘Grassroots’ anti-ICE campaigns funded by left-wing billionaire donors: sources

 It’s the same dark money, with new signs.

Anti-ICE protests in Minnesota may appear to be “grassroots” efforts organized by concerned citizens, but they’re really funded with megadonor money — some coming from China.

A so-called “ICE Out” march drew an estimated 15,000 left-wing political activists to a frozen, snow-covered Minneapolis on Friday, with attendees chanting “ICE out now” and demanding an end to federal immigration enforcement in the city.

Although framed as a spontaneous uprising of concerned, everyday people, the demonstration — like countless that have regularly metastasized during President Trump’s terms — featured a familiar cast of politically obsessed activists and terminally online characters.

They organize on radical message boards and encrypted texting apps, but are backed by funds created by radical leftist billionaires.

“My team’s best judgement is that it’s the Neville Singham network that is most active [in Minnesota], partly because that’s the most crazy network. But they aren’t alone,” Scott Walter, president of Capital Research and an expert on dark money outfits, told The Post.

Walter was referring to the People’s Forum and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, both funded by China-based former software exec Singham.

Both groups promoted the “ICE Out” protests — which were organized by another group, called 50501 — through social media, and Walter said their members were in attendance, but he noted they have recently been getting their members to blend in more with the crowds.

First Amendment doesn’t protect protests that disrupt church services, civil liberties org. says

 In the aftermath of last Sunday's storming of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, a nonpartisan civil liberties group says that the First Amendment does not protect protesters who interrupt church services, refuting claims made by political commentator Don Lemon. 

In a post written by one of its board members, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, which specializes in First Amendment cases and represents clients from a wide range of backgrounds and political beliefs, stressed that houses of worship are not public forums and that entering a church to disrupt a service is not a protected form of protest.

Board member Samuel J. Abrams clarified that the First Amendment protects speech in traditional public areas such as parks and sidewalks but does not extend those protections to private property where the owners have not consented to expressive activity.

"There is no First Amendment right to enter a house of worship and engage in conduct that effectively shuts down a religious service, even as part of a protest. Nor does anybody have the right to remain on private property after being asked by its owner or authorized representatives to leave," Abrams wrote.

"The First Amendment offers its strongest protection to speech in traditional public forums — streets, sidewalks, and parks — while also protecting freedom of association, religious exercise, and freedom of conscience. A society committed to free expression depends not only on protecting speech, but on maintaining a clear delineation between protected speech, on the one hand, and unprotected civil or criminal conduct on the other."

Several demonstrators associated with left-wing groups like Racial Justice Network and Black Lives Matter stormed the worship service of the Southern Baptist congregation on Jan. 18 to demand that one of its pastors step down because he leads a local ICE field office. The Sunday service ended early after demonstrators screamed at churchgoers.

Syria: Al-Qaeda–Linked Regime Targets Kurds in Ethnic Cleansing

 Syria’s Islamist government, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa—also known as Abu Mohammad al-Julani—is currently waging attacks against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Since January 6, an estimated 150,000 people, including Kurds, Christians, and Yazidis, have been internally displaced by forces loyal to Julani.

Julani is the head of the terrorist group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). The SDF is a U.S. ally who fought against the Islamic State (ISIS) for over a decade. 

This is the third ethnic cleansing campaign that HTS, backed by Turkey, has conducted since taking over the country’s capital of Damascus in December 2024. The first two campaigns targeted the Alawites and the Druze. Thousands of members of the Alawite and Druze religious minorities in the country were murdered or abducted by Julani’s forces. 

HTS, due to its affiliation with al-Qaeda and ISIS, is blacklisted as a terrorist organization by the UN Security Council. The designation has been transposed to European Union law and is followed by all 27 EU member states.

The ongoing attacks conducted by Julani’s armed forces started on January 6 in the Kurdish-majority neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh (the northern part of Aleppo). 

Videos have since been posted on social media showing Julani’s terrorist forces kidnapping and abusing Kurdish women and beating Kurdish men whom they have abducted. One video shows jihadists throwing a Kurdish woman off a building. Another shows Julani’s terrorists abducting young Kurdish women, describing them as “a gift” [sexual slaves] to someone called “mujahid [jihadist].” Videos also show Kurdish fighters from the SDF, including female fighters, being massacred.

Boycott the Super Bowl

 Last year President Trump became the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl. This year he is skipping the game. You should too.

Trump told the New York Post in a January 23 interview that the blockbuster event, set for February 8 in California, is “just too far away.” Proximity isn’t an issue for the many millions who will be tuning in on TV and streaming (the global total is around 180–190 million; last year’s game boasted a record American audience of 127.7 million viewers), but they should boycott it altogether because the National Football League leadership is openly dismissive of the interests and desires of American football fans.

As if it weren’t enough that the NFL disrespected the game’s fans in years past by coddling America-hating radicals like Colin Kaepernick who politicized season after season by “taking a knee” during the playing of the national anthem, now the organization is hiring halftime performers who are further alienating fans: Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny and Green Day, one of the most overrated rock bands in history.

Trump himself expressed his distaste for the musical acts scheduled for the event (although noting that they weren’t a factor in his decision not to attend):  “I’m anti-them,” said the president. “I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible.”

Bad Bunny – real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio – is apparently one of the most popular musicians in the world. He was Spotify’s most listened-to artist globally last year for the fourth time – streamed more than 60 million times daily, according to USA TODAY.

For his latest world tour, he didn’t schedule any stops in the United States, he told I-D magazine, because “like, f***ing ICE could be outside [his concert].” That gives you an idea of what kind of audience he draws in the United States.

According to celebrity gossip site RadarOnline, the rapper, who refuses to speak or sing in English, “lives to push envelopes.” (I ask you, is there any artist more boring than one who thinks the point of art is to “push envelopes”?) He reportedly intends to make his Super Bowl halftime appearance “as queer as possible,” paying “tribute to generations of queer activists, drag performers, and cultural icons,” according to The Pink News. According to a stylist connected to Bad Bunny, “He is 100 percent going to wear a dress. A political thunderbolt disguised as couture.” Another source added, “He’s not playing it safe. The NFL has no idea what’s coming. Zero.”

Actually, the NFL, or at least its leadership, knows full well what they’re getting with Bad Bunny. That’s the reason they selected him and defend him in the face of nationwide outrage. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell insists that Bad Bunny’s performance will “unite” people: “It’s carefully thought through. I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist where we didn’t have some blowback or criticism. It’s pretty hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching…”

Really? I don’t recall any controversy or outrage over the choices of Michael Jackson, Shania Twain, Aerosmith, Prince, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, or Bruce Springsteen, to name just a few English-speaking American performers over the years (although admittedly, the five Up With People Super Bowl appearances in the ‘70s and ‘80s were cringy and ill-advised).

Goodell went on to say, “We’re confident it’s going to be a great show. [Bad Bunny] understands the platform that he’s on, and I think it’s going to be exciting and a united moment.”

Really? Goodell thinks Bad Bunny rubbing the noses of American football fans in his gender-bending perversity is going to be a uniting moment?

And then there’s Green Day, which will kick off the Super Bowl’s opening ceremony. Petite frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is predictably an outspoken critic of Trump and the President’s supporters. During a New Year’s Eve performance two years ago, Armstrong altered the lyrics of the group’s forgettable song “American Idiot” from “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda” to “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda.”

Armstrong, who pathetically still affects a punk hairstyle and attitude even though he is in his mid-50s, has also blasted America as a “miserable f***ing excuse for a country.” In the wake of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, he declared, “F*** America. I’m f***ing renouncing my citizenship.” As always with America-hating celebrities who virtue-signal similar contempt for the country and for the citizens who made them rich and famous, he has not followed through on this promise. He still lives in the country he openly despises.

These are the anti-Americans the NFL chose to entertain American football fans in the biggest game – the biggest cultural event – of the year. The NFL hates you.

Like baseball, football is a quintessentially American game. Elsewhere in the world, “football” refers to soccer, a game in which players hurl themselves to the ground in faux agony anytime a breeze blows; on our shores, football refers to gridiron combat waged by squads of modern gladiators. The NFL may be lusting after a bigger international audience – the 2024 game saw a 10% increase in non-U.S. viewership compared to prior years, reflecting expanding interest abroad – but their globalist greed threatens to undercut their American core audience. No true American football fan wants to see a halftime show featuring a non-English-speaking rapper flouncing around in a dress and celebrating LGBTQ “icons,” whoever they are. The only people who want to see that are gender ideologues who don’t know a first down from a touchdown, and who get a thrill up their leg at the idea of queering – subverting – an institution as American as apple pie (yes, I know apple pie originated in England, but it has flourished here ever since colonial times as an American staple and symbol). Like Bad Bunny himself, they are gloating over the idea of repelling ordinary Americans and conquering another territory in the culture war.

If the NFL wants to thumb its nose at real Americans in order to court a foreign audience, then they don’t deserve us. Boycott this upcoming Super Bowl, and continue to boycott the NFL until it proves its loyalty to America and abandons its globalist, politically progressive agenda.
