Before the duet started, Jennifer Lopez introduced Emme, 14, one of the twins she and her ex-husband Marc Anthony have.

It all happened during the sixth annual Blue Diamond Gala of the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation. Her fans seem to love what she did.

18 Hispanic radio stations across 10 different markets are set to be purchased by a group partially bankrolled by liberal billionaire George Soros, but conservatives are fighting back, calling it a move that “reeks of desperation” to control Latino voters who have been ditching the Democratic Party. Soros’ latest move is a clear sign liberals “rightly fret about the incredible gains among Hispanics for the America First movement” that has caused many of them to ditch the Democratic Party, Steve Cortes believes, who was a member of former-President Trump campaign’s Hispanic Advisory Council. “The radicalism of the Democrats today has…
