Saturday, during an appearance on MSNBC, Vanity Fair special correspondent Molly Jong-Fast touted recently announced Super Bowl halftime act Bad Bunny as a “great messenger.” According to Jong-Fast, Bad Bunny represented the values of the Democratic Party. “[W] hat’s important about the op ed I wrote in The New York Times and Bad Bunny,” she said. “Bad Bunny represents a lot of the values that right now the Democratic Party should. I mean, you know, the idea that Puerto Rico is part of America, that we shouldn’t be racist against people who come from, I mean, like, these are easy ideas.”

With leftists, the more freakish the better. Never heard of Bad/Mad/Sad Bunny prior to this. It could be Plaid Bunny for all I care.

For me the NFL died years ago when they took a knee. USAA remained a NFL sponsor and they died too.

Poor Jefff, still can’t get the info straight. They are the DEMOCRAT PARTY! We do not have a democratic political party. But if that funny bunny represents the democrat party, then it explains a lot.

At first I was irate over Goodell's and the NFL's choice of a Bad Bunny, or whatever this creature is. I believe their choice is a gigantic middle finger to Trump and all of his voters. But now, that this Molly critter from Vanity Fair says Mr. BB is a "great messenger" for the democrat party, I say bring the Bunny on. Just months before the 2026 election and let America see exactly who the democrat's great messenger is. Remind us all exactly where the democrats will take this country once again should they get back into power. Voters! Charlie Kirk or Bad Bunny, make your choice America!

Puerto Ricans are a mixed culture just like State-siders. They are Black, White, Native Islanders and Asian. Making a negative comment about them is no different that making one about New Yorkers.

Bad Bunny was very funny in Happy Gilmore 2. I don't know why he doesn't do more like that. He can be a good comic actor. As it is, I will not watch him.

The Washington Post, even after owner Jeff Bezos's shakeups, is anything but a publication friendly to Republicans or the Trump administration. But even members of the legacy media sometimes have to admit the obvious. One of those is Washington Post Marc A. Thiessen, who on Thursday penned a piece making the case for President Trump being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. This isn't a new notion; the idea's been kicked around before. But the calls seem to be getting louder. Not only does Donald Trump deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, but there has arguably never been an American president who deserved it more.

MELBOURNE, Florida — The Florida man accused of sparking the flames that burned swaths of Los Angeles to the ground in the Palisades Fire posted on social media about how global warming causes wildfires. Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, regularly took to Facebook to share posts about eco-apocalypses, mocking President Trump and his supporters, and pushing people to become vegans. One article he shared – “Climate Change Will Force a New American Migration,” from ProPublica – even included a thumbnail showing wildfires raging across a California hillside neighborhood. That 2020 story opened by discussing blazing West Coast temperatures. It’s eerily – and ironically – similar to the situation Rinderknecht is accused

During Trump's cabinet meeting at the White House on Thursday, Hegseth revealed that recruitment and reenlistment were at record levels, exceeding goals they had set for the year.

Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger refused, several times in a row, to withdraw her endorsement of Democratic candidate for state attorney general Jay Jones during the gubernatorial debate Thursday, saying the decision is “up to the voters.” Her opponent, Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, used her allotted time for the first question — on the Virginia car tax — to ask Spanberger if she would not only denounce the texts, but also withdraw her endorsement of Jones. Spanberger did not speak on the subject until the second question, when she was explicitly asked if she would not only withdraw her endorsement but also

Hamas has agreed to a peace deal pushed by President Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza and return the hostages, two years after the terrorist network attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, sparking not only the bloodiest day for Jews since the Holocaust, but a deadly war and a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday to make the announcement: "I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan.

A Florida firebug has been arrested for allegedly “maliciously” sparking the Palisades Fire — the most destructive wildfire in Los Angeles history — that left 12 dead and caused about $150 billion in damages earlier this year, the feds revealed Wednesday. Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, is accused of sparking January’s raging inferno that devastated more than 6,000 homes and buildings in the wealthy coastal enclave. “Rinderknecht started a fire in Pacific Palisades on New Year’s Day — a blaze that eventually turned into one of the most destructive fires in Los Angeles history, causing death and widespread destruction,” Acting US Attorney Bill Essayli said.

On Monday, during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) said that the Trump administration was normalizing the presence of the military in cities, allowing them to use these forces to confiscate ballot boxes and recount votes to alter unfavorable results of the 2026 midterm elections. Pritzker said, “The broader goal, I believe, is the militarization of major American cities before the 2026 elections. Let me be clear about what’s going on on the streets of Chicago. They have dressed ICE and CBP in fatigues, put them in military gear, including with automatic weapons, and had them marching up

Twenty years ago, when Dan Rather was pushed out from CBS News following a controversial 2004 report on former President George W. Bush’s National Guard service, it was a massive scandal. While many remember it for being predicated upon shaky documents, it was also incredibly prophetic about the future media landscape: One that’s rapidly consumed by corporate interests, political pressure and the erosion of editorial independence. After a 24-year tenure in the anchor chair of the “CBS Evening News,” Rather did not depart quietly. “They sacrificed support for independent journalism for corporate financial gain, and in so doing, I think they undermined a lot at CBS News,”

China is actively preparing for war against the United States. The signs are obvious and ominous. During the Biden regime, we saw the first signs of it. The Chinese began a campaign of "elite capture" in the Western Pacific, quietly buying legislators until they controlled the parliaments of at least eight nations and then negotiating defense agreements, that, in the case of the Solomon Islands, gives China the right to deploy troops there to put down civil unrest; see China Seeks to Buy Eight Pacific Island Nations While Joe Biden and His State Department Are Comatose – RedState.

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller didn’t mince words this weekend: “There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country,” he declared on X. “It is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle . . . terror networks.” Progressives like Stephen King shrieked “extremist!” in response, but example after example backs Miller’s point.

Several high-profile antifa leaders have fled the country or are actively making plans to abscond overseas. News of their escape comes after President Donald Trump designated antifa as a domestic terrorist threat and directed federal authorities to dismantle terrorism networks operating within the United States. Mark Bray, a financier of transnational antifa operations and antifa’s foremost thought leader in America, announced he is fleeing to Europe, settling in Spain specifically, under the pretext of safety concerns following negative media attention. Before his departure, Bray issued an apparent call-to-action, urging widespread militancy. “Only mass antifascism, legal or not, can save us,” Bray declared on Bluesky, a popular platform on the political Left.

A federal appeals court on Wednesday lifted a judge’s order blocking President Trump from federalizing Oregon National Guard Troops. On Saturday, Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, blocked President Trump’s National Guard deployment to Portland. Judge Immergut issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and blasted President Trump’s decision to deploy troops. The TRO will expire on October 18. The judge warned that Trump’s justification to deploy troops to Portland may send the country into a constitutional crisis. On Sunday, President Trump called up hundreds of California National Guard Troops to Portland to circumvent the judge’s order blocking Oregon National Guard Troop deployment.

There is a fundamental misconception about what is happening politically in this country, and it may be helpful to reconsider a particular assumption that is creating cognitive dissonance throughout American culture. That assumption is that Democrats are a political party. Consequently, every measure of their behavior seems unexplainable. The assumption is incorrect. They have accelerated their devolution as a political entity over the last decade and have now arrived at a stable, if not entirely American, end state. The leaders, elected officeholders, and members have now been completely subsumed into a Communist Death Cult. The recent past is only a prologue for what is to come.
