The moment you agree to participate in elections controlled by fraudsters, you have already accepted the fraud as a legitimate outcome. 🤷🏻‍♂️

La dictadura judicial y la transparencia electoral. Acompañé en Brasil a Flávio Bolsonaro porque compartimos las mismas convicciones que trascienden fronteras: la defensa de la libertad, la familia, la propiedad privada y la democracia. Lo ocurrido durante la jornada electoral es aberrante en un país que es potencia mundial. La decisión ilegal de ampliar el horario de votación, adoptada por un juez que fue abogado personal de Lula en sus procesos penales, plantea interrogantes sobre la ruptura del hilo constitucional al dejar sin garantías el proceso electoral. La actuación de un juez que ni siquiera pertenece al Tribunal supremo electoral anula el resultado electoral. Bolsonaro ha anunciado que acudirá a la justicia para hacer esa solicitud. Ningún poder del Estado puede estar por encima de la Constitución. Ni el Ejecutivo, ni el Legislativo, ni los jueces. América Latina conoce demasiado bien las consecuencias de debilitar la separación de poderes. La democracia no es solo votar,, es ademas garantizar que cada voto sea respetado y que las controversias puedan resolverse con pruebas y conforme a la ley. Mi solidaridad con Flávio Bolsonaro y con los millones de brasileños que creen en su proyecto. La defensa de la libertad continúa. Dios bendiga a Brasil. 🇧🇷

How do we measure congressional performance? The @AfdesOrg Congressional Performance Observatory uses a nonpartisan, evidence-based methodology grounded in official congressional records. We track legislation from introduction through advancement and enactment, measuring the Legislative Conversion Rate: the percentage of eligible sponsored legislation that becomes law. Cosponsorship is reported separately. Political affiliation does not influence the calculation, and independently verified public outcomes are assessed separately. Our objective is simple: replace political rhetoric with measurable, verifiable evidence. Explore the Observatory and its methodology: afdes.org/congressional-perf…

The war in Ukraine became the justification for sanctions that helped displace Russia from a major share of Europe’s energy market. Sanctions like these do not simply appear out of nowhere—they require a political and geopolitical trigger, and the war provided one. Take a look at Europe’s new LNG suppliers and energy “partners,” and you may get a clearer picture of who has benefited economically from keeping this conflict going. Profit, not nationalism alone, may be one of the most powerful forces behind it. Profit is a major driver—not simply nationalism. Ask Warren Buffett… 😉
Is this what Putin (Russia) warned Ratcliffe (USA) about? “Kyiv and the Kyiv region have been under continuous air-raid alerts for the past three days. The Russians are sending increasing numbers of jet-powered drones, rather than propeller-powered ones, toward targets in Ukraine. Dozens of warehouses in Kyiv have been destroyed.” 1. What are U.S. objectives? 2. What does an end game look like? 3. What is our U.S. exit strategy? 4. Are there any peace talks ongoing? @realDonaldTrump

Personally, verifying identity at the ballot box is a logical safeguard and an important step toward rebuilding trust amid the legitimacy crisis and political polarization eroding confidence in our institutions. I guess the only real obstacle could be the precedent created by the majority needed to pass such a nationwide law, and how that power might be used by either party in the future. But I guess the question is: how much should that concern outweigh the need for election integrity and long-term political stability??

To prevent civil war, a Gov. must protect legitimate institutions, uphold the rule of law, guarantee fair and transparent elections (one of the bigger source of political legitimacy ), reduce political exclusion, address serious economic & regional grievances, protect minority rights, FIGHT CORRUPTION (this is a big one), prevent political violence, maintain professional and politically neutral security forces, and preserve peaceful channels for dialogue and opposition. The main goal is simple: citizens have to believe disputes can be resolved through institutions rather than violence.
