President Donald Trump and Nayib Bukele, President of El Salvador, the man who broke gang rule in his country by locking up gang members in the terrorism detention center. Photo courtesy of the Trump White House. It has been a turbulent year for Latin America, and what is emerging is a clear ideological realignment. A conservative “blue tide,” the right-leaning counterpart to the earlier leftist “pink tide,” is sweeping across the region, driven by voter frustration over rising crime, mass migration, and stagnant or declining economies. Public patience with socialism has eroded as security conditions worsen and economic promises fail…

Illustration by Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism. Source: Getty Images Black holes are born from the explosive deaths of stars. But can black holes themselves explode? Nobody knows for sure — but if they can, a team of scientists argue they may have spotted evidence of such a catastrophe taking place. Their study, published in Physical Review Letters, suggests that the impossibly powerful collision of a subatomic particle called a neutrino into the Earth detected in 2023 could be explained by the explosion of a special kind of cosmic object called a primordial black hole. Black holes have expiration dates. It’s…

And the award goes to Democracy Docket… The Democracy Docket is passing off voter security as voter suppression. Democrats, in general, are talented at using words in a cleverly cagey way.

That would likely be the people they brought in illegally. Think about it. Who else will be disenfranchised? Black people all have photo IDs. We have always known that.

CBS News reports: In a 2-1 decision, a panel of federal judges at the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals said the Trump administration had properly reinterpreted an immigration law last year to disqualify many unauthorized immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement from being able to ask an immigration judge to be released on bond.

A grand jury indicted actor Timothy Busfield Friday on four counts of criminal sexual contact of a child.  Busfield pleaded not guilty on all counts, The Daily Wire reported. His lawyer, Stanton “Larry” Stein, said even though the indictment was expected, it was still disappointing. “As the saying goes, a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich,” Stein said in a statement. “What is deeply concerning is that the District Attorney is choosing to proceed on a case that is fundamentally unsound and cannot be proven at trial.

Abigail Spanberger signed legislation sending a radical congressional redistricting referendum to Virginia voters that would upend the commonwealth’s electoral landscape and hand Democrats a 10-1 advantage in the U.S. House delegation, expanding a 6D–5R delegation into a potential 10 Democrats, 1 Republican dominance.
