Nuyorican music icon, activist, and retired law enforcement officer Willie Colón passed away in his native New York on Saturday at the age of 75, leaving an unfillable and quintessentially American void in Spanish-language music.

Colón was a pioneer of the tropical dance music genre known as “salsa” and inspired decades of Hispanic dance music around the world. In addition to singing and playing instruments, he was an accomplished producer, prominent civil rights activist, and entered the police academy when he was 64, fulfilling a lifelong dream to be a law enforcement officer. He developed a popular “gangster” image – including album covers depicting him as a killer on multiple occasions – about two decades before rap artists such as Tupac and NWA. He made the trombone look cool.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Racist) basically told a group of black voters in Georgia, Vote for me. I’m stupid just like you!

While out promoting his autobiography and his likely 2028 presidential campaign, Newsom started out with the usual-usual pandering Democrats employ with black voters. Then it quickly devolved into the kind of racist condescension we’ve seen from modern-day Democrats, reaching back to when they created the Jim Crow South.

A large section of the northeastern U.S. was pummeled by huge amounts of snowfall combined with strong winds Monday morning forcing residents to remain stuck at home under road travel bans and blizzard warnings.

Team USA hockey star Quinn Hughes thanked the troops after winning gold at the Winter Olympics.

Team USA secured the gold medal with a 2-1 victory over Canada at the Winter Olympics – the first gold for hockey since the “Miracle on Ice” victory against the Soviet Union in 1980. Speaking with reporters after Jack Hughes, Quinn’s brother, scored the winning goal during overtime, Quinn thanked the troops for giving them the opportunity to play.

FBI Director Kash Patel responded to criticism after video footage surfaced of him celebrating with the Team USA Men’s Hockey team after their win against Canada.

In a post on X, Patel expressed that he “was extremely humbled” when Team USA’s Men’s Hockey team invited him “into the locker room” to celebrate their Gold Medal win.

President Donald Trump called the U.S. men’s hockey team, and FBI Director Kash Patel joined them in the locker room to celebrate their win over Canada on Sunday.

About an hour after the team won their first Olympic gold medal since 1980, Coach Mike Sullivan announced that Trump spoke via FaceTime with the athletes.

Controversy exploded online Sunday after a man with Tourette Syndrome shouted the N-word while actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented during the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs).

Scottish activist John Davidson, a prominent face of Tourette Syndrome in the United Kingdom going back to the late-1980s, inspired the recently acclaimed film I Swear, which received five nominations at the BAFTAs, ultimately taking home the award for Best Leading Actor (Robert Aramayo) and Best Casting. Throughout the night, Davidson, who was in attendance, could be heard shouting various obscenities, including “shut the fuck up” and “fuck you,” but it was when actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented that things got wildly uncomfortable, per Variety:
