I cannot recall any Super Bowl halftime show ever needing a next-day explainer, but CBS News apparently thinks you need one after the Bad Bunny spectacle during Super Bowl LX. And, as fate would have it, CBS’s self-styled “Bad Bunny correspondent”, Lilia Luciano, handled the segment which quickly descended into outright propaganda.

Watch as Luciano regurgitates Bad Bunny’s fake ICE raids story, and confirms our suspicions regarding Bad Bunny’s “God Bless América:”

The Department of Homeland Security lashed out at an “absurd” report claiming that a majority of the illegal aliens being deported by the administration were nonviolent cases.

The CBS News report cites an internal DHS document it obtained that showed only 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested in the first year of the Trump administration had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses.

‘Anti-gay prejudice’ increasing among young people, Northwestern professors say– www.thecollegefix.com

Younger generations are less likely to support homosexuality and more likely to exhibit “anti-gay prejudice,” according to Northwestern University scholars.

Professor Tessa Charlesworth released a preprint study which purports to find lower levels of acceptance of homosexuality in younger generations, even among liberals. She also commented on the results in a recent New York Times essay.

Although, in the past, there seems to have been a significant increase in support for the gay population, the support for this movement actually reached its peak in 2020 and has been subsequently declining.

Stacey Plaskett Further Implicated in the Epstein Files, and Things Just Got Awkward for Ro Khanna – RedState– redstate.com

Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) has positioned himself as a firebrand when it comes to exposing the Epstein files, and he now has a chance to prove it’s not just partisan grandstanding.

Following the release of more information on Monday, his fellow party member, Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI), has been further implicated in the scandal. According to multiple emails, she used a pseudonym to solicit funding from Epstein for a “new voter file” that would help her win elections in the Virgin Islands.

Democratic congresswoman Stacey Plaskett (V.I.) beseeched Jeffrey Epstein for help funding a new “voter file” that would allow her to “completely outperform anyone in any race.”

Using the email handle “LeRoy Daughter,” Plaskett pitched Epstein on the idea in an email on May 5, 2017, according to documents released by the Department of Justice. In the pitch, Plaskett asked Epstein to fund a one-year project to “create a new voter file” of Virgin Islands voters.

The goal, according to Plaskett, was to compile data on Virgin Islanders who had voted in recent elections and update their phone numbers, email addresses, and home addresses to help Plaskett’s campaign and those of her allies in other races.

“This is the most important group to poll for messaging and later phone banking for support and get to the polls,” wrote Plaskett, adding that the list would help candidates decide what political positions to take and assist “messaging and campaign work.”

Oregon legislators introduced a broad bill on Monday that would increase unique legal protections for abortion providers. Presented with little public notice, limiting opponents’ time to react, HB 4088 would further entrench Oregon’s position as an abortion tourism destination, placing women and girls at risk and undermining state laws designed to protect children and unborn babies. Oregon Right to Life strongly opposes HB 4088.

As written, HB 4088 would expand protected interstate actions under Oregon’s existing 2023 shield law (HB 2002) to include “any person who provides or attempts to provide aid, assistance, resources, encouragement or support to a person in providing or receiving or attempting to provide or receive reproductive health care or gender-affirming treatment.”

In the runup to his election, Mamdani vowed to discontinue the sweeps of homeless encampments (City).

the grim toll of homeless deaths, now 16 and counting, has already shattered any illusion of a honeymoon. This is Mamdani’s baptism by tragedy, the 34-year-old nepo baby’s abrupt introduction to reality. The mirror tells the story: the crisis exposes his arrogance.

For forty years, every mayor understood the same hard truth — when temperatures drop, the city must act. Following Ed Koch’s lead, administrations required the homeless to take shelter or moved them indoors when they could not decide for themselves. As former mayor Rudy Giuliani put it: “The policy of NYC before, during, and after I was Mayor was to remove homeless from the streets when it approached freezing. The incumbent Mayor has changed that policy.”

Former Vice President Mike Pence really wants you to think he is a principled man.

His foundation, Advancing American Freedom, even boasts “The Conservative Movement Lives Here.”

He’s a constitutional conservative to his core. Until he isn’t.

The SAVE Act, the main provision of which is so overwhelmingly popular with normal Americans that it’s only natural that the denizens of the Washington swamp oppose it with near-religious fervor, has stalled in the Senate. The bill would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in U.S. elections.

EDMONTON, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) — Alberta Conservative Premier Danielle Smith said she has had enough of woke federal judge appointments, warning Prime Minister Mark Carney that unless he allows provincial input into new judge selections, her province will withhold funding.

“The appointment of justices to our Alberta courts should be non-partisan and reflect our province’s legal traditions and values,” Smith wrote Tuesday on X along with an attached two-page letter to Carney.

“I am urging Prime Minister Mark Carney @MarkJCarney to give Alberta a formal and meaningful role in the judicial appointment process that would boost public confidence in the administration of justice, support national unity within Alberta, and ensure judicial decision-making reflects the expectations of Albertans.”

In the two-page letter to Carney, Smith made clear her intentions to allow Alberta to have a say in judge appointments, saying her province needs to be consulted on all future judicial appointments to the Alberta Court of King’s Bench, the Alberta Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court of Canada.

“Alberta’s government will not agree to provide the necessary funding to support any new judicial positions in the province until such engagement and collaboration are provided,” she wrote.

The ending of Russian oil imports would be particularly significant; yes, even huge. Trump on his phone meeting with India Prime Minister Modi: We spoke about many things, including Trade, and ending the War with Russia and Ukraine. He agreed to stop buying Russian Oil, and to buy much more from the United States and, potentially, Venezuela. This will help END THE WAR in Ukraine, which is taking place right now, with thousands of people dying each and every week! Out of friendship and respect for Prime Minister Modi and, as per his request, effective immediately, we agreed to a Trade Deal between the United States and India, whereby the United States will charge a reduced Reciprocal Tariff, lowering it from 25% to 18% (Truth)

India and China reportedly began edging away from Russian energy after President Trump imposed a 25% punitive tariff on countries doing business with Moscow — a move that signaled consequences.Trump has been pressing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Russian oil since last summer, and two weeks ago he raised the stakes dramatically, threatening tariffs as high as 500%.

Modi rushed to X to celebrate the new trade agreement at an 18% reciprocal tariff rate.

“We just want to make sure that you are who you say you are. That’s it,” Crowder said. “I either encounter people who claim racism, because they are die-hard leftists, or the second group of people go, ‘what? We don’t have any ID requirements?’”

“Everyone supports it except the Senate Democrats, who threatened a filibuster,” Crowder said. “They are willing to die on this hill to ensure that no one needs to present an ID to vote.”

According to the left, voter ID is racist.

“Here’s the truth, of course, not. The SAVE Act is popular among all racial groups, increasing year after year,” Crowder said.

“The Department does not believe taxpayer dollars should support sex-rejecting procedures, directly or indirectly for individuals of any age,” the policy states. “A person’s body (including its organs, organ systems, and processes natural to human development like puberty) either healthy or unhealthy based on whether they are operating according to their biological functions.”
