Bad Bunny is closing out the week as the most dominant touring artist on the planet, and Latin music's biggest headline is that he has now officially crossed the one‑billion‑dollar mark in career tour revenue. Billboard Boxscore and Pollstar report that he is not only the first Latin artist to hit that milestone, he's also the fastest artist in history, in any language or genre, to reach a billion dollars on the road, doing it in under a decade of major touring. According to Billboard and outlets like Hypebeast, the current Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour is the engine behind this record. The all‑stadium run has already brought in around three hundred sixty million dollars across just over forty shows, with about 2.4 million tickets sold, and that total doesn't even include any U.S. dates because this tour is intentionally skipping the United States. Pollstar notes that this puts him in a tiny club of fewer than twenty‑five artists ever to gross a billion dollars from concerts, standing alongside legacy rock giants and global pop superstars. On social media, the celebration has been loud. Billboard's own Instagram page has been posting graphics crowning him the first Latin artist past the billion line, with fans in Spanish and English flooding the comments calling him “el jefe del tour” and “el nuevo rey global.” Fan pages on X and Instagram are sharing clips from recent Debí Tirar Más Fotos shows, pointing out how he's been switching up setlists from city to city, performing deeper cuts alongside massive streaming hits like Tití Me Preguntó, Dákiti, and tracks from Un Verano Sin Ti that still dominate Spotify's global album charts years after release, according to chart‑tracking sites like Kworb and ChartMasters. There is also a parallel conversation happening online about what this touring dominance means for Puerto Rico. A recent viral reel shared by fan accounts references local coverage that a Bad Bunny residency or extended live run on the island can bring hundreds of millions in economic impact and hundreds of thousands of visitors, with fans reminding each other not to be “the kind of tourists he sings about,” echoing his long‑standing criticism of exploitation and gentrification in his lyrics and interviews. In music‑industry circles, outlets like Blast The Radio and The Washington Times are framing this as the moment Latin music fully completes its shift from “crossover” to core of the global mainstream, pointing back to the way Un Verano Sin Ti was the first all‑Spanish‑language album to become the year's most‑streamed set worldwide. Commentators are now saying that if that album conquered streaming, Debí Tirar Más Fotos is the project that is conquering stadiums, with early‑year previews from sites like Dork noting that the album was built for big‑room performance. Bad Bunny himself has been keeping the mystique alive in recent interviews and clip reels, repeating a line that's gotten a lot of circulation on TikTok and Instagram this week: “Nadie sabe mañana” – “nobody knows tomorrow” – when asked whether he will randomly drop more new music during the tour. That quote, pulled from a widely shared short‑form interview segment, has fans speculating about surprise singles or an EP tied to the tour, even though nothing official has been announced. Meanwhile, fan discourse on X is split between pure celebration of the billion‑dollar stat and criticism that ticket prices and resale markets are making it harder than ever to see him live. Some listeners are pointing out that this is part of a wider touring bubble, while others say the numbers prove that, at least for now, demand for Bad Bunny is nowhere near slowing down. So for listeners keeping track, the current Bad Bunny story is simple and massive: a historic one‑billion‑dollar touring milestone, a globe‑spanning stadium tour skipping the U.S. yet still dominating headlines, endless social media clips from Debí Tirar Más Fotos shows, and a cloud of speculation that at any moment he could flip the script again with surprise new music.

It has been a bit more than six years since then Commandant of the Marine Corps, General David Berger, USMC, initiated what became known as Force Design 2030 (now just known as Force Design). What followed was a controversial change to the structure of the United States Marine Corps intended to address the challenge posed by the People's Republic of China in the western Pacific.Now more than halfway to the original 2030 target, and informed by events from Ukraine and Southwest Asia since 2020, both long-standing critics of the design and other voices are readdressing the changes—and the critique—to see if it remains the right path.Joining the Midrats Podcast is General Anthony Zinni, USMC (Ret.).SummaryIn this episode, retired General Anthony Zinny discusses the evolution of Marine Corps force design, its strategic implications, and the importance of a flexible, well-analyzed approach to military modernization.Show LinksGeneral Anthony Zinni, USMC (Ret.) full bioForce Design 2030Marine leaders drop ‘2030' from name of ambitious overhaul planUSMC Force Design Update from 2023The Marines Must Think Bigger Than Small Units, Real Clear Defense, December 09, 2025, Anthony Zinni & Jerry McAbee , Timothy WellsMore funding for the wrong programs won't fix the Marine Corps, Washington Times, July 10, 2025, by Gen.

Silicon Bites Ep351 | 2026-06-14 | OUT OF GAS: Russia Day 2026 Arrived with Empty Pumps, a 230-Drone Raid That Destroyed Samara's Kuibyshev Refinery, the Worst Crimean Fuel Crisis Since the 2014 Annexation, and a War That Has Stopped Being Something Russians Could Ignore. Happy Russia Day, swamp empire. Your days are numbered, as are those of the killer Putin. Breaking: 11–13 June 2026 — The Crimea fuel crisis hits its tourist-season inflection point on Russia Day; Ukraine's Russia Day raid lands 230 drones on Samara, Tatarstan, and Tolyatti and destroys AVT-4 and AVT-5 at the Kuibyshev refinery; the 13 June Kotovo and Tamanneftegas strikes extend the campaign into the Volgograd pumping network and the southern LPG export terminals; the Institute for the Study of War describes the dual-strike doctrine — and Russia's army runs out of momentum at the same moment its fuel system runs dry.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

2026-06-14 | UPDATES #214 | The Institute for the Study of War has formalised the analytical framework that explains why the campaign is achieving its current operational tempo. ISW's June 2026 analysis, as cited by the AP wire reporting: the long-range strike campaign is therefore reducing Russia's production capacity, while the midrange strike campaign is hurting Russia's ability to transport the gasoline Russia is still able to produce.This is what that doctrine means operationally. Long-range strikes — like the 1,500-kilometre reach to Salavat in Bashkortostan, the 1,700-km reach demonstrated against southern Russian targets, the Kotovo and Saratov-region pumping nodes — destroy production capacity. The refinery cannot be quickly rebuilt. The AVT units take months to replace. The destroyed production is gone from the market for the duration of the rebuild.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

I can't not talk about how Elon Musk is the world's first trillionaire. He's a trillionaire, but in the U.S., 47.9 million people lived in food-insecure households in 2024, the highest since 2014, according to the Washington Times. He's a trillionaire, but 181 million children will only eat one meal today, according to a UNICEF report. You and I are much closer to being homeless than we are to being a trillionaire. For context, someone earning $50,000 per year would need to work for 20 million years to become a trillionaire, and that's assuming they don't spend any of the money they earn.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, host Chuck Warren is joined by guest host Tim Mooney for a packed episode covering Arizona politics, campus protests, election integrity, the 2026 midterms, and the latest true crime case making national headlines. The show begins with Chuck Warren sitting down one-on-one with Elijah Norton, candidate for Arizona State Treasurer.

The conversation covers the role of the state treasurer, Arizona's $32 billion in assets, investment performance, the Permanent Land Endowment Trust Fund, Prop 123, and Norton's call for a comprehensive review of the treasurer's office and a "Doge-style audit" of Arizona's education system. Follow Elijah Norton on X: @NortonforAZ Website: https://nortonforaz.com/ Next, Chuck Warren and guest host Tim Mooney speak with Jessica Schwalb, staff writer at the Washington Free Beacon and a Columbia University graduate.

What do the following cities have in common? Fort Myers, FL, Tampa, FL, Arlington, TX, Tucson, AZ, Long Beach, CA, and Ashtabula, OH? Each of these are cities where so-called "LGBTQ" Pride Events were cancelled. Most of these are due to lack of corporate support. Meanwhile this past Saturday, Homosexual Pride events had to be cancelled in Houston due to the weather. Phoenix Pride just recently announced bankruptcy, but according to reports are still planning events for October. Indeed, a number of businesses and corporations have pulled back from their massive support of so-called LGBTQ+ pride. Other groups are digging in their heels with the free flow of cash. Despite the massive pushback on this movement, the sexual deviancy events and their support continues to flourish. Joining us to discuss it all is Peter LaBarbera. Peter is the Founder and President of Center for Morality Americans for Truth. He's a former reporter for the Washington Times, LifeSiteNews.com, WND.com and a former contributing editor for Human Events

Is the recent corporate retreat from "Pride Month" just a shallow cultural wave that will crash back once the tides change? Without biblical grounding, it seems unlikely this slight move away from worshipping lust and debauchery will be sustained. And while Ohio's school choice expansion has public schools crying foul, The Narrative hosts think the worst-performing, hyper-funded schools should face real accountability.

Persuasion seems conspicuously absent from our politics.  Not shouting, denouncing, or trying to convince the "other side" that they're wrong, evil, or both.  But the good faithed attempt to reach the hearts, minds, and emotions of others and persuade them to our point of view.  Why?  Why is persuasion so hard?  And is it even possible to persuade in an era of political polarization?   Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis welcomes fellow "Josh"—Josh Bandoch—on the show to discuss his latest book, How to Get What You Want: Mastering the Art and Science of Persuasion, and to explore how persuasion can engage with how the human brain is actually wired.   About Josh Bandoch Bio from Illinois Policy   Josh Bandoch is the Head of Policy at the Illinois Policy Institute.   His research focuses on empowering people to rise out of poverty, increasing social mobility, improving housing affordability, and removing barriers to opportunity (e.g. burdensome regulations).

It's Thursday, May 14th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chinese communists arrest 6 Christians for teaching Sunday School Communist authorities in southwest China recently arrested six Christians for conducting Sunday school classes. The Christians face charges of “organizing minors to engage in activities undermining public order.” Dr. Bob Fu, founder and president of ChinaAid, said, “This case — both the charges and the process — mark a shocking new phase in China's persecution of religious minorities. … Criminalizing Sunday School and the peaceful sharing of faith with children is an outrageous abuse of law and a direct assault on the fundamental rights of parents and churches.” In Matthew 19:14, Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” Trump to talk to Chinese president about imprisoned Christians U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing, China yesterday.  He plans to discuss Taiwan, trade, and the Iran war with Chinese President Xi Jinping. President Trump said he would also discuss recent and high profile cases of Christians being imprisoned in China. Listen to his comments first about pro-democracy publisher Jimmy Lai followed by comments about Pastor Ezra Jin. TRUMP: “Jimmy Lai, he caused lots of turmoil for China. He tried to do the right thing. He wasn't successful, went to jail, and people would like him out. And I'd like to see him get out too. I'll bring him up again. I have brought him up. “And there's another gentleman, a pastor, as you know, with a beautiful daughter and son-in-law, that would like to see him get out. I'm going to bring his name up.” California mayor resigns after spying for China In the United States, a California mayor resigned on Monday, May 11th, after acting as an agent for the Chinese government.  The Justice Department recently charged Eileen Wang, the mayor of Arcadia, with acting as an illegal agent for China. Arcadia is located 13 miles from downtown Los Angeles. Wang agreed to plead guilty to the charges. She worked on behalf of Chinese officials by promoting their propaganda in the United States. FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X, “FBI and our federal partners continue to move aggressively to root out this kind of influence in American institutions all over the country.” Businesses abandoning California over high taxes and regulation More businesses are exiting California for states with lower taxes and less regulations.  The latest example is KB Home, reports The Washington Times. The American homebuilding company is moving its headquarters from Los Angeles to Tempe, Arizona.  Other major companies that have relocated their headquarters out of California include Oracle, Tesla, Chevron, Charles Schwab, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The most popular destination states include Texas, Tennessee, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida.  Proverbs 29:2 reminds us, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom is on the wrong side of that equation. Texas town is 97th American city to ban abortion Life News reports a Texas town became the 97th city in America to ban abortion. The City of Muleshoe, Texas voted 4-1 on Monday, May 11th, to adopt the Sanctuary City for the Unborn ordinance.  Mark Lee Dickson, founder of Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn, said, “This vote would not have been possible without the residents who gathered signatures and stood for the protection of pregnant mothers and unborn children. Muleshoe has now joined dozens of Texas communities taking a stand against abortion trafficking and the exploitation of vulnerable women and children.” U.S. overdose drug deaths fell last year The number of reported drug overdose deaths fell in the United States last year. The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention found there were over 68,000 drug overdose deaths in 2025. That number is down 14 percent compared to the previous year. However, overdose deaths are up 30 percent from a decade ago.  The states with the biggest drop in overdose deaths last year included New York, Virginia, and Oregon. But a few states saw a significant uptick in such overdose deaths, including New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado.   White House hosts 9-hour prayer event on National Mall And finally, the White House is hosting a nine-hour prayer event at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on Sunday.  The event is called Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving. It's one of many events this year to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. Top U.S. officials speaking at the prayer event include Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and House Speaker Mike Johnson. The event's website describes the jubilee as a “historic gathering to give thanks for God's providence, reflect on our nation's story, and rededicate America as One Nation under God.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, May 14th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

2026-05-11 | UPDATES #199 | While Zelenskyy was signing satirical decrees, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova were performing the other half of the regime's choreography: the threat.The Russian Foreign Ministry, captured by Pravda EN, RFE/RL, the Washington Times, and TASS, issued what RFE/RL called "a belligerent warning to Kyiv, and diplomatic missions there" — threatening to "attack the Ukrainian capital if Ukraine did in fact disrupt the May 9 events." The Foreign Ministry advised foreign embassies and international organisations located in Kyiv to evacuate their offices in case of such a strike. The Defence Ministry urged civilians to evacuate as well. Moscow is a thug and a bully, and these threats are completely in character. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Robert Knight is a former Los Angeles Times news editor and columnist for the Washington Times as well as other publications. Robert has had senior positions in a number of pro-family organizations. On Monday, Ken Cuccinelli, the national chairman of the Election Transparency Initiative, was the guest on Crosstalk. He warned about the Virginia vote that was to take place on Tuesday pertaining to a mass gerrymandering of the state. He noted that the state is near a 50-50 split with 6 blue (Democrat) congressional districts and 5 red (Republican) districts. He also communicated that there's a push from the left to make it ten blue districts and one red district. Less than 48 hours ago, votes were tallied, with unofficial results indicating that the gerrymandered maps narrowly won. Since then a judge has halted the results from being certified. According to Robert, more than 80 million dollars was spent on this campaign, with most of it coming from Democrats. They raised virtually all of it from out-of-state sources including a group run by Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader in the House of Representatives, and another led by George Soros. This has resulted in a new redistricting map that Robert said looks like, "...a lobster with a long tail." Does the law really give the Virginia legislature the ability to redraw districts for the mid-term elections with a later return to what the law says? Was the vote in Virginia basically an anti-Trump vote as well as a response to what took place in Texas? These are all good questions and Robert deals with them and more.

Tonight, he returns to Strange Planet to ask the question no one in power wants answered. GUEST: Nick Bryant is an investigative journalist and author best known for exposing elite sexual abuse networks and the power structures that protect them.
