Trump Endorsed Her. Now She Wants to Use State Power to ‘Crush’ the Left and Impose ‘God’s Moral Order’
Jacky Eubanks is running for the Michigan legislature with a “wholehearted” endorsement from Donald Trump who calls her “an America First Patriot.” Her agenda? Banning contraception, gay marriage and imposing the “Christian moral order” on the nation. Eubanks, a Gen Z conservative who falsely claims Trump won the 2020 election in Michigan, disclosed her extreme views in an interview on “Church Militant,” a digital media service that has been designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an “anti-LGBTQ hate group.” Church Militant is run by Michael Voris , an ex-TV news reporter and formerly gay man who has been criticized as a leader of the “Catholic alt-right.” (Church Militant has strained relations with actual church leaders; it was originally known as RealCatholicTV until the Archdiocese of Detroit told Voris he was not “authorized” to use the word Catholic in his branding.) In the interview, posted to Eubank’s campaign Facebook page on Thursday, she … [Read more...] about Trump Endorsed Her.

‘Un Día Normal’ Turns 20: Juanes Remembers
Twenty years ago today, Juanes released his breakthrough album, Un Día Normal. Juanes had previously released Fíjate Bien, his debut LP, which had success locally in Colombia . However, with its mix of catchy pop, cutting rock, and traditional Latin sounds, Un Día Normal took him to an entirely new level. It spent 92 weeks on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart, setting a record at the time, and it spun off gigantic back-to-back hits such as “A Dios Le Pido,” “Mala Gente,” and “Es Por Ti,” all songs that helped define pop-rock in Spanish for that era. The album won six Latin Grammy, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year — and it made Juanes a star. Below, he remembers putting together the album during a hectic, emotional time, filled with highs and lows that inspired the sound of the record. He talks about the changes he was going through at the time, how he drew from his past, and how Un Día Normal changed the game for him and Latin … [Read more...] about ‘Un Día Normal’ Turns 20: Juanes Remembers

It appears that someone inadvertently hit the ‘like’ button and when we discovered the post… we pulled it down,'” O’Keefe tweeted, quoting Cruz. “‘We’re dealing with it internally but it was a mistake, it was not malicious conduct.'” Continued O’Keefe: “Cruz wouldn’t name the staffer; nor what discipline they might face; it is ‘still being discussed’ whether person will access the account. Cruz quips: If he’d known it would trend so quickly, ‘perhaps we should have … [Read more...] about Ted Cruz: ‘Staffing Issue,’ ‘Mistake’ Led to Porn Tweet Liked by Account
Trump’s Bigotry Is a Drug to Texas Republicans
When Donald Trump ’s stumbling campaign blew into Texas for a three-city tour last week, its literature described its second and last rally in the state as an event in Houston, one of the most diverse cities in the United States. But it wasn’t. Trump’s rally was held in The Woodlands, a too-clean and vaguely menacing compound of glass, steel and well-manicured lawns some 35 miles north of Houston’s downtown. Instead of a city council, The Woodlands, founded by George Mitchell, the pioneer of shale fracking, has an executive board. Residents of The Woodlands are more than 92 percent white. It’s easy to see why Trump went there: The few protesters who drove in from out-of-town were easily kept in check by the horse cops providing picket defense for oil company headquarters and chain restaurants. Trump’s rallies and fundraisers in the state were chock-a-block with the color we’ve come to expect. He didn’t make a lot of sense . He said some provocative things . He swore, and … [Read more...] about Trump’s Bigotry Is a Drug to Texas Republicans

Cannes can be a place of reinvention, after all.

Navjot Singh Sidhu Seeks Time From SC To Surrender In 1988 Road Rage Case
Stating that he wanted to "organise his medical affairs", Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Friday approached the Supreme Court seeking a few weeks' time to surrender and undergo the one-year rigorous imprisonment imposed on him in a 1988 road rage case. The apex court had on Thursday imposed a sentence of one-year rigorous imprisonment on Sidhu in the case, saying any "undue sympathy" to impose an inadequate sentence would do more harm to the justice system and undermine the public confidence in the efficacy of law. Senior advocate A M Singhvi, appearing for Sidhu, mentioned the matter before a bench headed by Justice A M Khanwilkar and said, "He will, of course, surrender shortly." "We want a few weeks to surrender. It is after 34 years. He wants to organise his medical affairs," Singhvi added. The bench, also comprising Justice J B Pardiwala, told Singhvi that the judgment in the matter was passed by a special bench. "You can file that application and … [Read more...] about Navjot Singh Sidhu Seeks Time From SC To Surrender In 1988 Road Rage Case
