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.

Those of us close to geopolitical realities know the war in Ukraine didn’t happen in a vacuum. There are enormous financial interests tied to global energy markets, particularly LNG exports to Europe, which raises a simple question: who benefits? When billions of dollars are changing hands andd entire industries stand to gain, it’s reasonable to ask whether the public is being told the whole story. While Ukrainians and Russians continue to die, defense contractors, energy companies, and political insiders are making billions. Taxpayer money keeps flowing, the war keeps going, and the profits keep growing. Did you know that Warren Buffett has invested in LNG-related businesses and shook @ZelenskyyUa hand right after? If not, look it up and draw your own conclusions. Ordinary citizens are told to pay more, sacrifice more, and fund more. Meanwhile, the children of the political and corporate elite rarely seem to bear the same risks or make the same sacrifices. As for @TuckerCarlson and @mcuban , their public exchanges have highlighted just how divided and politically driven this debate has become. Critics argue that many influential figures selectively champion principles when it suits their political agenda. The real qestion isn’t whether someone supports Ukraine or Russia. The real question is: who is profiting from a war that has already cost hundreds of thousands of lives, and why are taxpayers expected to keep footing the bill?

‼️ 𝐔́𝐋𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐀 𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐀‼️ Acabo de mostrar este video de @MariaCorinaYA a miembros del gabinete del Gob. de los Estados Unidos, muchos están de acuerdo que la poca credibilidad y seriedad de esta señora es un riesgo político enorme. Su entorno, repleto de los delincuentes del interinato que están siendo activamente investigados por malversación de fondos públicos, y su tono altanero está siendo visto como un desafío abierto a la administración Trump. Este video lo van a llevar a @realDonaldTrump HOY! Palabras que escuché hoy “Nunca he visto a alguien que mienta a la cara de las personas que han sacrificado libertad y vida por el negocio electoral en Venezuela”. Es triste en verdad!

The mere inaction on this matter should be considered high treason. Maybe asking politely is not an option anymore …
