A study conducted by Cuban economist and demographer Juan Carlos Albizu-Campos revealed that Cuba is experiencing a “demographic emptying,” resulting in 24 percent of its population leaving the country in the past four years, the Spanish news agency EFE reported on Tuesday. Cuba has been pushed to the brink of complete ruin by more than six decades of communism under the Castro dynasty, leading to a severe humanitarian crisis that has dramatically worsened since 2021. The collapse of Cuba’s infrastructure, rampant hunger, extreme poverty, and other inhumane conditions have pushed a growing number of Cubans to flee in recent years in what is now widely described as the worst migrant crisis in the country’s history, larger than the 1980 Mariel exodus and 1994’s rafter crisis. https://www.breitbart.com/latin-america/2025/03/27/study-cubas-population-plummets-24-in-4-years/ Texas has some of the strictest laws in the country designed to prevent foreign legal systems from taking root, prohibit public money from entangling with religious entities, and restrict financial secrecy in large-scale developments. Yet despite these safeguards, an alarming trend is unfolding—the rise of self-governing Islamic enclaves, operating outside of traditional municipal oversight and expanding at an unprecedented rate. At the center of this movement is the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC), a powerful Islamic mega-mosque that has acquired vast land holdings to construct an autonomous Sharia-adherent Islamic community. EPIC-affiliated entities have acquired 402 acres of land just 30 minutes from downtown Dallas as part of their latest expansion project, EPIC City. On this site, they are developing a large-scale Islamic community that will include more than 1,000 homes. But this is far more than just another housing project—it is a deliberate blueprint for an Islamic enclave, structured to bypass city zoning laws, evade government oversight, and operate as a self-contained, religiously governed settlement. EPIC City plans to feature: Unlike religious communities that assimilate into the broader American society, EPIC City is designed as an autonomous Islamic stronghold where religious leadership governs education, commerce, and daily life. (EPIC City Project FAQs) EPIC City is not just a real estate project—this is a deliberate effort to carve out an Islamic-controlled district, one that functions outside traditional municipal oversight and legal structures. Unlike religious communities that integrate into American society, EPIC City and EPIC 2.0 (EPIC Ranches) are designed to create a separate, self-governing Islamic district—where Sharia dictates. Sharia is categorically different. Even more disturbing is the coercive enforcement that often accompanies Sharia-based family law—particularly for women and girls. In cases of divorce, child custody, marriage refusal, or seeking independence from arranged unions, women who defy Sharia structures may be subjected to extreme retaliation—not just social ostracization, but physical violence and murder. ... And when developments like EPIC City propose building self-governing communities explicitly guided by Sharia principles, they are not simply practicing faith. They are challenging the sovereignty of the American legal system and creating a two-tiered society—one where dissent from within is met not with dialogue, but with fear, coercion, and, far too often, deadly consequences.

The drop in prices comes as the nation has been grappling with a bird flu outbreak that has affected egg prices and farmers, per Breitbart News. When asked on March 21 what she would say to Americans struggling to afford eggs, Rollins [Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins] said prices have been trending downward for approximately three weeks, per News Nation. “We released a pretty massive, bold plan about three and a half weeks ago including biosecurity measures, repopulating the chickens much more quickly, deregulating, getting government off the back of our poultry producers, importing eggs. We’ve been bringing in eggs from Turkey and South Korea, we’ve got another couple of countries we talked to yesterday to try to get supplies back up while we repopulate the chickens that were affected by avian bird flu,” she explained. When a tiny band of self-proclaimed satanists announced they would hold a “black mass” in front of the Kansas State Capitol, they wanted to inflame Christians. And they did, but it was not with the type of fire they intended. They managed to galvanize thousands of Christians with the fire of the Holy Spirit. Across the state, Catholics and their fellow Christians spent more time praying on Friday than they would have normally. Special masses and holy hours were held in Catholic churches in every corner of Kansas in reparation for the sacrilege planned at the Capitol. Thousands gathered on the Capitol grounds to pray peacefully, outnumbering the handful of satanists by many orders of magnitude. So, when the satanists were screaming expletives at peaceful Christians, they didn’t look powerful or edgy. They looked rather pathetic. The so-called black mass ended in a whimper, when a single disturbed and hateful satanist entered the Capitol and got only a sentence out before punching a Christian and getting himself arrested. It’s a classic example of how God makes beautiful things out of our ugliness and chaos, answering the darkness by flooding us with light.

Alert Texas: EPIC City’s Sharia Compound Can Be Stopped—Here’s the Blueprint to Shut It Down:
In its classical and authoritative form, Sharia is not merely a religious code—it is a total system of governance. It prescribes rules for every aspect of life, from prayer and diet to banking, warfare, legal contracts, family relations, punishments for crime, and political authority. Under Sharia, the distinction between religion and state does not exist—the law of God is the law of the land. That makes it incompatible with the foundational principles of Western democracy, which are built on individual rights, due process, freedom of conscience, and separation of church and state.
