WARNING: Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show will turn you woke. This is very funny. 😄


This is Bob Boudelang level writing.


In my house, we speak American, and having to listen to and be entertained by one of the world’s most popular pop stars singing hits beloved by untold millions IN SPANISH could reveal that people different from me are good and worthy of respect.

There’s an AMERICAN word for that, and it’s WOKENESS, a debilitating and contagious condition President Donald Trump has worked hard to eradicate, along with other liberal failings like empathy, honesty and inclusion.

Wow. That kind of inflammatory, wokey McWokeWoke, love-wins-over-hate rhetoric should have forced the NFL to cancel the Super Bowl halftime show. But it didn’t, and now countless millions will be exposed to Bad Bunny’s music, which I’ve never listened to but assume is filled with anti-American sentiment because the news sources I rely on have told me to fear him. (The libs say Mr. Bunny is Puerto Rican and thus a U.S. citizen, but I won’t be tricked into learning something I don’t understand.)


Suffice it to say I and the small number of family members who still speak to me will be celebrating the Super Bowl halftime by tuning in to the Turning Point USA alternative halftime show, which features a veritable “who’s who” of who I’m able to listen to while remaining loyal to MAGA.

I’m not familiar with his music at all but I just watch for the show.

I wasn’t familiar with The Weekend who did the show a few years ago. My daughter got me up to speed on his album basically being about people altering themselves through plastic surgery. The show included dancers with bandages on their heards which the sports world took as diapers. Good show and really liked his sound.

I, for one, can’t wait to grab the kids and sing along to the classic Kid Rock tune “Cool, Daddy Cool,” with the lyrics: “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage/See some say that’s statutory …” OK, never mind that one ..."

The bottom line is this will be an America-first celebration, featuring country music artists Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert and Gabby Barrett, all of whom I’ve definitely heard of and listen to regularly.

My family and I will say no to radical left-wing indoctrination and instead do exactly what right-wing political pundits and leaders like Vice President JD Vance tell us we should do – consume a subpar product featuring castoffs and grifters who encourage us to live in a state of never-ending fear and grievance.


That’s called independence, buddy. And it’s as American as the Super Bowl.

For a well placed Nazi salute (or ten) and a "SIEG HEIL" for good measure. Don't make Real 'Murica sad, Toilet Paper USA.
