Vice President Kamala Harris debuted a Spanish accent on Thursday during a Univision town hall event, taking a break from the fake southern accent she sometimes uses. The accents raise concerns about Harris’s sincerity. Voters are often attuned to inauthentic politicians. “First of all, thank you for the question, and I hope your family is okay and your home is okay,” putting a Spanish drawl on the words “okay.” Critics on X immediately ripped Harris for the new accent, including Andy Ngo, Greg Price, and the MAGA War Room: It is not the first time Harris used a fake accent...

This followed the opening of a corruption case against his wife Begoña Gómez, who is facing claims of using her role as the unofficial but de-facto First Lady of Spain...

The absurdity of gender ideology leads to incredible claims from pockets of establishment media. Now, according to one left-wing professor, the entire Spanish-speaking world is to be condemned as “transphobic.” Writing for the San Francisco Chronicle, Sebastian Ferrada declared that the refusal by Latinos to use the activist creations “Latinx” or “Latine” in order to degender the word is "transphobic."

A liberal group linked to billionaire George Soros has been cleared by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to purchase Spanish-language radio stations throughout the country, rekindling concerns that a "radical political agenda" will influence information provided to Hispanic voters. Miami’s iconic, Spanish-language conservative talk radio station Radio Mambi is one of the 18 stations the Soros-backed Latino Media Network will purchase from Televisa Univision for a reported $60 million. Radio Mambi, which is historically linked to the Cuban exile community and offers an anti-communism view, will be controlled by liberals once the deal is finalized. Latino Media Network, which is...

VIDEODOCTOR Jill Biden took a quick trip to San Antonio, Texas in order to perform a deep pander for the "Latinx" community. Yes, that is what the official name of the event was, "Latinx IncluXion Luncheon." I guess they felt it was okay to butcher the Spanish language with "LatinX" if they also mangled the English language with "IncluXion." Perhaps we should be thankful that DOCTOR Jill did not attempt to pronounce "LatinX." As you can see this is not the first time that DOCTOR Jill attempted to speak cringe Spanish.

A popular conservative radio host has quit her high-profile Miami gig ahead of the anticipated purchase of her station by a George Soros-backed liberal group, according to a report. Cuban-American Lourdes Ubieta, who hosted a show on Miami’s Radio Mambi, said she rejected a lucrative deal to stay on at the station. “I would never cut a deal with these people,” she told Fox News. “Never, never, neve

In yet another blow to the radical left’s attempts to mangle the language of Cervantes, the capital of one of South America’s largest countries has said schools can no longer teach bastardized, woke Spanish. Buenos Aires City Hall recently announced it was banning the use of so-called inclusive Spanish in the city’s schools. According to the city’s mayor, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, using e, x, and @, in written Spanish will no longer be acceptable. “Teachers have to respect the rules of the Spanish language because children have to master the language as it is,” said Larreta, as reported by the...

A plane, two helicopters and four boats are combing the area for survivors. Canadian rescuers said they were optimistic, despite the bad weather.

Woke speech codes suffered a major setback when some Hispanic lawmakers and the country’s oldest Hispanic rights group put the kibosh on the use of the transgender-friendly term “Latinx.” The rejection of the Latinx label even extended to prominent Democratic lawmakers. “I’m Latina, you know. Latinx — that’s, bull——,” said Rep. Nydia M. Velazquez, a New York Democrat and the first Puerto Rican woman elected to the House. The League of United Latin American Citizens, the oldest Hispanic civil rights group in the U.S., also kicked Latinx to the curb. Domingo Garcia, the group’s president, told its communications team and...

Español spoken in different accents:

Monsters and ghosts may be Halloween icons, but true spirit chasers know most of them are mere child’s play compared to those told in Latino folklore. That’s because tales of the supernatural have intrigued and enriched Hispanic culture throughout history — especially on holidays like Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead), coming on the heels of Halloween on Nov. 1, and through the haunting legends that find their way into pop culture all year round. Thanks to depictions in films and shows ranging from Supernatural and Disney’s Coco to episodes of South Park and The X-Files, folks...

Nydia Velázquez, D-N.Y., slammed Christopher Columbus as a "genocidal maniac" on his holiday Monday as progressives continue their push for the federal holiday to be officially replaced with Indigenous Peoples Day. "Today should just be #IndigenousPeopleDay," Velázquez tweeted. "And yet this day is still shared with a genocidal maniac. "We need to take this time to reflect on the brutal history of violence against Indigenous peoples in America and recognize that there is still a lot of work to repair this harm." ...
