Changing The Channel

On Sunday, The Daily Wire posted an article about the TPUSA All-American Halftime Show.

The article reports:

The TPUSA All-American Halftime Show outperformed all expectations, with an incredible 6.1 million people tuning in to watch on the YouTube livestream, another 1 million watching on Charlie Kirk’s YouTube, and “monster” numbers on other partner sites streaming it including Rumble and DailyWire+.

Social media lit up with fans celebrating the Super Bowl halftime show alternative, and later with viewers proud of how many people turned up and tuned in.

“All in English, all talented, beautifully done,” one social media response said.

“It was truly awesome. Felt so good. And so proud,” another commenter agreed.

“I was proud of my country. Felt blessed for my family. This is what it should be!” a third person agreed, echoing what so many others were saying.

Secretary of War Pete Hegeth posted on X, saying the War Department was “proud to support” the show. “GOD BLESS THIS GREAT COUNTRY,” he wrote in the caption.

I will admit. I am totally NOT a country music fan. However, I tuned to the show because of what it represented. I may not like country music, but I like a lot of what it stands for–love of country, working for a living, etc. I am thrilled that so many people chose to change the channel. I don’t have anything against Bad Bunny–I know very little about his music, but a Super Bowl halftime show should be in English and salute what America stands for.

The article concludes:

The success of TPUSA’s alternative, pro-America halftime entertainment proves that the battle of David versus Goliath continues, with the possibility of the underdog winning in the end.

The Left still thinks it owns the culture. They preached to us at the Grammys. They preached at the Super Bowl. But we are fighting back. Join DailyWire+ for entertainment that has your values at its core.

Bad Bunny. Bad Money?

A Substack Blog called Eko Loves You posted an article on Sunday about the money behind Bad Bunny. The money behind Bad Bunny is in no way associated with people who love America.

The article reports:

The man who built Bad Bunny’s empire is Rafael Ricardo Jiménez Dan. Captain in the Venezuelan army. Official in Hugo Chávez’s government. Third in his class at the military academy, 1987. In 2014, he gave $2 million to a broke 24-year-old named Noah Assad in Puerto Rico. That money became Rimas Entertainment. Bad Bunny’s label. Dan owned 60%. He approved the signing. Rimas is an acronym for his children’s names. Ricardo, Marianna, Sophya.

…In 2023, Sony helped buy Dan out.

His name disappeared from the ownership papers.

…Dan says he served in government from 2006 to 2007. One year. Minor role.

Venezuelan Official Gazette archives show him in a senior judicial position in October 2003. Three years before he admits to starting. His 2006 appointment as Vice Minister of Legal Security was signed by his own classmate, Jesse Chacón.

After government, Dan registered companies across Venezuela, Panama, and Florida. At least a dozen. The registered agent on the Florida filings is Carlos A. Souffront.

Souffront is the president of Rimas Publishing.

Souffront also represents Dominican Senator Felix Ramon Bautista Rosario. Bautista was sanctioned by the US Treasury for fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering tied to Haiti earthquake reconstruction. He took over $10 million for work that was never finished.

Your church probably raised money for Haiti after that earthquake. Some of it ended up with a man whose lawyer runs Bad Bunny’s publishing company.

Dan says every dollar he invested came from entrepreneurship.

He was an official in a regime now under federal indictment for narco-terrorism. He retired to Florida. Millions appeared. A corporate network spread across three countries. Within a few years he had launched the most successful Latin music label in history.

Bad Bunny canceled his 2025 US tour. Said ICE might target his fans at concerts. At the Grammys he told America “ICE out.” The man whose career was funded by a Chávez regime insider, whose classmates trafficked cocaine with terrorists, armed militants, and carry combined federal bounties north of $50 million, wants you to believe immigration enforcement is the danger.

The NFL vetted this.

The article concludes:

I know this is a lot to take in. I wanted to amplify it before kickoff.

That’s what the NFL gave us at Super Bowl halftime!
