TRUMP’S Surge: Why Hispanic Voters Are Embracing Him

06 November 2024 — CBS News Executive Director of Elections and Surveys, Anthony Salvanto, highlighted Donald Trump’s rising support among Hispanic neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Despite Trump’s past rhetoric, many Hispanics feel he isn’t targeting them negatively. This perception is shifting some Latino voters toward Trump.

A poll revealed that two-thirds of surveyed Latinos believe Trump wasn’t referring to them when discussing immigrants. Additionally, half of foreign-born Latinos shared this sentiment. These findings suggest a growing acceptance of Trump among Hispanic communities.

While Latinos predominantly lean Democrat, Trump’s messaging on the economy resonates with many in this demographic. His approach appears to offer a sense of belonging similar to that extended to white voters. This strategy could be pivotal for his future campaigns as he continues to engage with diverse voter groups.

VENEZUELAN GANG’S Chaos: US Communities Under Threat

17 October 2024 — In New York City, kids as young as 11 are reportedly involved in violent robberies linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua (TdA). Surveillance footage from Aurora, Colorado shows a brutal attack on a worker by men refusing to accept a bribe. In Texas, two foreign nationals were arrested for allegedly planning to transport firearms for criminal use.

These incidents highlight the growing influence of TdA across the United States. The gang has gained notoriety through violent crimes that have alarmed law enforcement and policymakers. Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas has been vocal about the threat posed by TdA, especially in border communities unprepared for such brutality.

Gonzales and other GOP lawmakers have urged President Biden to designate TdA as a Transnational Criminal Organization. They warn that if unchecked, the gang could unleash terror similar to its impact in Central and South America. The gang’s activities include drug trafficking and human trafficking, leaving devastation across multiple countries.

Authorities caution that Tren De Aragua’s criminal operations pose an increasing danger to American communities nationwide. With its roots in Venezuela’s prisons, this “thug-for-hire” organization is spreading chaos from major cities like New York City down to small towns along border states like Texas.

TEENS’ SHOCKING Plea Deal in Las Vegas Beating Death

04 September 2024 — Four Las Vegas teenagers pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the fatal beating of their high school classmate. The plea deal keeps them from being tried as adults. The attack on 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis Jr. was captured on video and widely shared on social media.

The teens were initially charged with second-degree murder and conspiracy but will now face time in a juvenile detention center for an undetermined period. In Clark County, minors are released after completing rehabilitation programs rather than serving traditional jail sentences, according to Brigid Duffy of the district attorney’s office.

Defense lawyer Robert Draskovich called the plea deal “a very fair resolution.” However, Lewis’ mother, Mellisa Ready, disagreed strongly with the outcome, stating that there is no true punishment for her son’s murder and calling it “disgusting.”

CUBAN ACTIVIST Slammed With 15-Year Sentence for Exposing Police Brutality

03 May 2024 — In a severe crackdown, Cuban activist Rodríguez Prado was sentenced to 15 years for recording and sharing footage of police brutality during the Nuevitas protests in August 2022. The protests erupted over continuous electrical blackouts and substandard living conditions under the Castro regime. Prado faced charges of “continued enemy propaganda” and “sedition.”

During the protest, Prado filmed police officers violently handling José Armando Torrente alongside three young girls, including her own daughter. This footage incited widespread anger as it highlighted the extreme measures police took to suppress demonstrators. Despite undeniable evidence, Cuban authorities refuted all allegations of misconduct by law enforcement in court.

While detained at Granja Cinco, a high-security female prison, Prado voiced out against her unfair trial and treatment. In a discussion with Martí Noticias, she exposed that prosecutors used fabricated evidence and disregarded video proof showing police mistreatment of minors. She confirmed that she had parental permission to film the children present during the incident.

Prado’s bold move to document and expose these brutal acts has drawn international attention to human rights abuses in Cuba, challenging both local authority denials and global perceptions of governmental conduct within the island nation.

OJ Simpson’s TWISTED Fate: From Freedom to Prison

13 April 2024 — More than two decades after O.J. Simpson walked free in a murder case that grabbed headlines worldwide, a Nevada jury found him guilty of armed robbery and kidnapping. The conviction was for trying to take back personal items in Las Vegas. Some say the tough 33-year sentence at 61 years old was because of his earlier trial and his fame.

The trial in Los Angeles, coming after the Rodney King incident, ended with Simpson not guilty. But many think this result made his punishment for the Las Vegas crimes harsher later on. “Celebrity justice swings both ways,” said media lawyer Royal Oakes, pointing out how Simpson’s star status affected his legal troubles.

Released on parole in 2017 after nine years behind bars, Simpson’s journey is much different from his first trial’s verdict. His cases have started talks about how fame can tilt the scales of justice and possible jury bias due to race. These events show the tricky mix of fame, societal issues, and law in America.

Simpson’s story continues to be a powerful example of how celebrity can impact legal outcomes differently over time, raising questions about fairness and justice in high-profile cases.

Haiti’s MAIN AIRPORT Under Siege: Armed Gangs Launch Shocking Takeover Attempt

05 March 2024 — In a startling rise in violence, armed gangs launched an audacious bid to seize control of Haiti’s primary international airport on Monday. The Toussaint Louverture International Airport was effectively shut down during the attack, with all operations suspended and no passengers in sight. An armored vehicle was spotted firing at the assailants in a desperate effort to keep them off airport property.

This assault is unprecedented in Haiti’s history concerning an airport. It remains uncertain whether the gangs were successful in their audacious takeover attempt. Just last week, stray bullets hit the airport during ongoing gang skirmishes.

This alarming incident unfolded merely hours after authorities imposed a nighttime curfew due to escalating violence. This surge saw armed gang members overrun two major prisons and liberate thousands of inmates.

U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric voiced grave concern about the rapidly deteriorating security situation in Port-au-Prince. He noted that attacks on critical infrastructure had escalated over the weekend.

HAITI NIGHTMARE: Gangs Unleashed as Prisons Breached and Thousands Set Free

04 March 2024 — Haiti is grappling with a violent crisis. In a shocking turn of events, armed gang members infiltrated the nation’s two biggest prisons over the weekend, setting free thousands of prisoners. To regain control, the government has enforced a nighttime curfew.

The gangs, believed to have dominance over approximately 80% of Port-au-Prince, have grown alarmingly bold and organized. They are now daringly attacking previously untouched sites such as the Central Bank — an unprecedented escalation in Haiti’s ongoing battle against violence.

Prime Minister Ariel Henry is pleading for international assistance in forming a UN-backed security force to stabilize Haiti. However, with only around 9,000 officers responsible for more than 11 million citizens, Haiti’s National Police force is frequently outmatched and outgunned.

The recent onslaught on state institutions has led to at least nine fatalities since Thursday — including four police officers. High-profile targets like the international airport and national soccer stadium were not spared from these coordinated attacks.

NYC Police UNLEASHED: Crackdown on Migrant Robbery Ring Reveals Shocking Details

06 February 2024 — New York City police have launched an aggressive campaign against property crime. This follows a successful raid on a migrant robbery ring with connections to Venezuela. The group had been using powered scooters as part of their criminal operations.

During a news briefing, NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban clarified that the recent surge in migrant crime does not reflect the majority of individuals migrating to New York for improved living conditions. He characterized the gang members as 'ghosts’ — undocumented immigrants with no traceable digital footprints or sometimes even known identities.

In connection with this robbery ring, the NYPD has named eight suspects at a news briefing: Victor Parra, alleged mastermind, and Cleyber Andrada, Juan Uzcatgui, Yan Jimenez, Anthony Ramos, Richard Saledo, Beike Jimenez and Maria Manaura. As per police reports, Parra would issue requests for specific phone models he desired and orchestrate robbers across New York who may not have known each other for burglary missions.

BUKELE’S TRIUMPH: El Salvador’s ‘Charming Tyrant’ Sweeps Re-Election

06 February 2024 — El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, who proudly wears the label of the “planet’s most charming tyrant,” celebrated a decisive re-election victory this Sunday. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was quick to extend his congratulations, praising the efforts of election monitors and expressing readiness to collaborate with the freshly elected officials after their June inauguration.

Blinken highlighted the enduring bond between the U.S and El Salvador, a relationship that has endured for over a century and a half. He asserted that occurrences in El Salvador have direct consequences on U.S interests at home and abroad. Furthermore, he affirmed that good governance, inclusive economic growth, assurance of fair trials, and human rights would remain at the forefront under their Root Causes Strategy.

Preliminary election results indicate Bukele clinching victory with an astounding 83% support rate, leaving his closest rival trailing far behind at just 7%. The confident president had already proclaimed himself as winner before official results were released, asserting he had garnered more than 85% of votes.

TEXAS BORDER Rally: Unleashing Patriotic Fervor & Standing Strong for Law Enforcement

04 February 2024 — The “Take Our Border Back Rally” was a vibrant scene of patriotism and support for law enforcement. Media from across the nation flocked to this small ranch, which was alive with food trucks, vendors selling patriotic merchandise, and a stage featuring Christian music.

Attendees, many donned in red, white, and blue or displaying Trump-supporting gear, reveled in the music and speeches. They traveled from various states including Texas, Arkansas, Maryland, Missouri, New Mexico and New York to voice their demand for a secure border under a sea of flags supporting former President Donald Trump.

Treniss Evans — one of the event’s organizers — told Breitbart Texas that this rally aimed to back all law enforcement officers working along the border — both federal and state officials alike. The rally is set to remain stationed in Quemado without crossing into Eagle Pass city limits.

Evans made it clear that their group had no plans to disrupt law enforcement operations in Eagle Pass or impede local commuters’ mobility within the city. This declaration comes amid recent media focus on a seized city border park.

President Noboa SNUBS Maduro’s Aid, COURAGEOUSLY Seeks US Assistance Instead

25 January 2024 — Ecuador’s leader, President Noboa, has decisively spurned an offer of support from Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro. Instead, he has chosen to seek aid from the United States. This decision follows Maduro’s suggestion that Noboa should accept his help rather than succumb to what he labels as U.S. Southern Command’s “interventionism” and “colonialism”.

During a recent interview on Tuesday, Noboa responded to Maduro’s proposition with a firm “Thank you, but no thank you.” He went on to clarify that his decision was not based on personal disagreement with Maduro but stemmed from the need to address pressing issues within his own nation.

Earlier this week, President Noboa engaged in talks with U.S. officials about potential security collaborations. He sought weapons, technology and training for Ecuador’s security forces from the U.S., while also exploring options for refinancing Ecuador’s external debt.

Despite warnings from Maduro about inviting the “devil” into Ecuador — referring indirectly to the United States — and despite criticism at home over his anti-gang policies, President Noboa remains unwavering in his pursuit of American assistance.

President MILEI’S BOLD Plan to Revive Argentina: Sweeping Reforms Unveiled

29 December 2023 — Argentina’s leader, President Javier Milei, has introduced a detailed 351-page bill named “Law of Bases and Starting Points for the Freedom of Argentines.” The President’s Office says this bill is designed to “restore the economic and social order,” as outlined by Argentina’s constitution. Its goal is to tackle obstacles that impede the functioning of a market economy and contribute to national poverty.

This extensive bill reportedly includes two-thirds of Milei’s reform ideas and calls for a public emergency in multiple sectors until December 31, 2025. This period can be extended by up to two years at the discretion of the executive branch. The proposal builds on last week’s Necessity and Urgency Decree (DNU) signed by Milei, which changed or removed over 350 socialist policies.

The DNU’s contents are formalized in this new bill through codification. It also addresses subjects an executive order cannot touch upon, such as criminal law, taxation, and electoral matters. If Congress rejects the DNU, Milei has announced plans for a national vote for its approval.

In terms of state reforms, the proposed legislation advocates privatizing all roughly 40 state-owned enterprises including oil company YPF and Aerolíneas Argentinas airline. Furthermore, it suggests that
