A Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuit alleges that Hazleton, Pennsylvania’s city council elections violate federal law because not enough “Hispanic-preferred candidates” are winning – without defining what a Hispanic-preferred candidate is. The DOJ sued the majority-Hispanic town Tuesday over its at-large election system in which voters across Hazelton vote to elect each district’s city council member, alleging it does not give Hispanics a fair chance at participation and violates a section of the Voting Rights Act that bans restricting voters based on race. The complaint fails to prove illegal discrimination and appears “meritless” on its face, legal experts told the...

A New York man was arrested this month after allegedly causing a car crash last year that killed his niece and three nephews when he slowed down to take photos of the “Welcome to Florida” sign at the state border. Marvin Redondo-Funes, 25, is facing four counts of aggravated manslaughter of a child and driving with a license suspended or revoked causing great bodily injury, the Florida Highway Patrol said in an X post on Wednesday.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, accused many Hispanic voters of having a “slave mentality” for supporting President-elect Donald Trump. “That is my distilled summary of what happens within the Latino community,” Crockett told Vanity Fair on Friday. “I’ve not run into that with the Asian community. I’ve not run into that with the African community. I’ve not run into that with the Caribbean community. I’ve only run into it with Hispanics. When they think of ‘illegals,’ they think of, you know, maybe people that came out of the cartels and that kind of, like, the criminal-type book or whatever. It’s insane.”...

Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Rep. Nanette Diaz Barragán (D-Calif.) said mass deportations could cause a spike in costs for American families, including at the grocery store. President-elect Trump has repeatedly pledged large-scale deportations of illegal immigrants, which could greatly impact the workforce. “What we also see, I think, under mass deportations, as you’re going to see further cost for American families going up if you start deporting the agricultural workforce and people in the essential jobs that are putting food on the table, grocery costs are only going to go up,” Barragán said during a Wednesday afternoon MSNBC appearance. She...

An elderly white woman was charged with a hate crime in Washington state for allegedly assaulting two Donald Trump-supporting Hispanic women. The unnamed 82-year-old was arrested Monday on suspicion of committing a hate crime, though formal charges had not yet been filed, the Edmonds Police Department told KOMO News. Bodycam footage shows the octogenarian telling police, “I approached her, and I said, ‘I want to know why you’re voting for Trump.’ That’s the only thing. And I said, ‘Because you’re brown-skinned.'” Trump supporter Gina Powell said the elderly woman got in her face, questioning her race and beliefs, as she...

An author of an infamous revisionist historic work that paints the United States as racist has blamed 'anti-blackness' for Donald Trump's electoral success with Latinos. Nikole Hannah-Jones, creator of The 1619 Project, made the remarks Wednesday in response to Trump's win. The president-elect emphatically beat Kamala Harris after being backed by 46 percent of all Latino voters - the most by any Republican in modern history.

SNIP That was why, of all the big shocks during Election Night, the hard shift of Latino voters to Donald Trump did not surprise me in the least. The speed at which it came to pass may have surprised me, but the fact it happened did not. Ever since Trump did better with Latino voters in 2020 — after he called Mexicans drug dealers, rapists and criminals in 2016 — I’ve been cognizant of this shift. And I’ve spent a lot of time trying to work out what’s behind it, particularly when it comes to Latino men. The warning signs...

The headline says it all, and it's one of those questions where "If you have to ask the question, you won't understand the answers." But that doesn't stop The Times! They come up with five possible explanations, and to nobody's surprise, they get it wrong. Let's take a look! In 2016, Donald J. Trump became the Republican nominee and ultimately won the presidency after calling many Mexican immigrants rapists and falsely claiming that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. Eight years later, the polls suggest that he might well return to the White House by faring better...

Former President Donald Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris by double digits in Florida — once a considered a battleground state — according to a University of North Florida Public Opinion Research Lab (PORL) survey released Monday. The survey, taken among 977 likely Florida voters, showed 53 percent expressing support of Trump this election cycle. Harris came in ten points behind, garnering just 43 percent support. Two percent said they would vote for another candidate, and two percent remain unsure. The survey noted they included “blurters” in the final results:

During a town hall set to air on Univision, the vice president emphasized a “humane pathway to earned citizenship for hardworking people.”Kamala Harris has vowed to strengthen President Joe Biden’s asylum crackdown at the border. But she hasn’t committed to using that same unilateral authority to offer a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, known as Dreamers. In a town hall hosted by the Spanish-language television giant Univision set to air Thursday evening, Harris spoke forcefully about establishing an “orderly and humane pathway to earned citizenship for hardworking people.” And asked by...

FAIL: Harris-Walz Event for Latinos in Pennsylvania Gets a Whopping 50 Attendees by Warner Todd Huston | Sep 27, 2024 | Politics Will this presidential election be the most important in American history? Yes No Enter your email address... Submit Vote What a hilarious failure Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz had in Pennsylvania, folks. The Harris-Walz campaign had a well-publicized event for Latino voters in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania last week in an area that is at least 1/3 Latino, and the turnout wasn’t just laughable… it was disastrous. Fifty Latinos showed up. FIFTY!

Political organizations supporting Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are touting both campaigns' messages of “freedom” as they woo Latinas, a key voting bloc. Hispanic women is the female racial or ethnic group that grew the most in the 12 years from 2010 to 2022, according to the Pew Research Center, growing by 5.6 million and numbering about 22.2 million as of last May. They make up about 17% of the nation's adult female population. They also turn out to vote in larger numbers than Latino men. While Latinas have seen gains in education and employment, they...

...The convoys are known as “Trump Trains”, and though they have appeared in other states they have taken off in the Rio Grande valley. They symbolize the political drama that is unfolding in this overwhelmingly Hispanic community that has for generations been umbilically tied to the Democratic party: the seemingly unassailable rise of Trump.... An opinion poll from April conducted by the Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation (TxHPF) found that Trump was leading his then presumptive rival Biden in South Texas by 44% to 36%. That was an astounding statistic given the region’s previously lock-tight Democratic record... Religion is another critical...

Coming to you from Austin, TX, a statement was made to an Hispanic with an anglo wife that Trump supporters did not riot, block traffic and burn buildings across the nation after Trump was shot. The man expl6oded in rage and yelled the shooter was a hero. When trying to ask him if Democrats would respond likewise were there an attempt on a Democrat candidate, he went into a fit of rage, claiming that Trump thought America belonged to him, he would be dictator for life if elected, that the. Jan. 6 people were the rebels, that it would have...

In my research on the abortion issue, I have come across many statements from abortionists and clinic workers. Some of the most disturbing were about minorities. In a future article, I will give examples of pro-choice activists using racism to gain support for abortion. In this article, I would like to present three disturbing quotes by abortion providers. Dr. Edward Allred owns a chain of abortion clinics called “Family Planning Associates Medical Group.” Their website can be found here. His clinics have such a poor safety record that they have numerous lawsuits against them. At least ten women have died...

It’s November 2023, and, following the October 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists that killed some 1,400 Israelis and at least 31 Americans, thousands of demonstrators march through New York City, calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. Chants of “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” echo through the streets, along with “there is only one solution: intifada revolution.” Among the crowd is the infamous Palestinian American activist Linda Sarsour, who warns through a megaphone that a cabal of wily Jews has conspired to place “their little posters” (of kidnapped Israeli civilians) across the city, seeking...

The Lakewood Church shooter was a tr*nsg*nder and has just been identified as Genesse Moreno, who went by the name ‘Jeffrey’. She was born a biological female but transitioned to a tr*ns man. Additionally, they have her listed as ‘White’ under race. Odd, considering she is hispanic. DEI strikes again.

SAN LUIS, Arizona (Reuters) - When Michele Pena ran as a Republican candidate for the Arizona state legislature in a heavily Hispanic and Democratic-leaning district on the Mexican border, few believed she could win. Pena, the daughter of a Mexican immigrant, was a school volunteer and single mother with no political experience. She began with a campaign budget of just $1,600. She nonetheless scored an upset victory last year in the district, which is separated from Mexico by miles of border wall built under former President Donald Trump to keep out "bad hombres". "Hispanics go hard Democrat there all the...

Hispanic residents of Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood gathered at a town hall meeting Tuesday to protest the opening of a new shelter for illegal immigrants. During the October 3 meeting, residents blasted city officials for raising property taxes while offering free housing, healthcare, and meals to illegals and even fast-tracking work permits for border crossers, as Hispanics who have been in America for years have had to struggle on their own, the Chicago Tribune reported. The meeting was called after city officials quietly opened a new shelter in an empty warehouse near Cermak Road and Halsted Street. The shelter was opened...

Joe Biden’s appalling legacy of straight-up racism continued this week when he linked “African Americans and Hispanic workers” to those “without high school diplomas” in a speech Thursday. Naturally, the White House is covering this up. The text published by the White House after the event—and we know it’s after because His Fraudulency spoke off the cuff, and those words are part of the transcript—changes what Biden said. This is what Biden said: We’ve seen record lows in unemployment particularly — and I’ve focused on this my whole career — particularly for African Americans and Hispanic workers and veterans, you...
