A ruling by a leftist judge that kept polls open in more leftist areas so that they could get more votes for Lula is the height of leftist corruption.
BREAKING: Brazil's election could be annulled, according to the New York Times.
Electoral lawyers say Brazil's current situation is "extremely serious" and a "critical situation."
The NYT reports that confusion over a last-minute voting extension by Justice Cristiano Zanin, who was appointed by Lula, could lead to the election being annulled.
"This is an extremely serious, critical situation," said electoral lawyer Priscilla Sodré Pereira to the New York Times.
When Zanin made the last-minute decision to extend voting hours, some polling stations had already closed and shut down their voting machines. They could not reopen.
"Fernando Neisser, an electoral law professor at Fundação Getulio Vargas, a Brazilian research institute, said the election could be annulled if the margin is very narrow and it is shown that polling stations stayed open longer in areas that strongly favor one candidate," the NYT reported.
Wow.
“Democrats in battleground districts are holding Republicans’ feet to the fire over the Medicaid cuts”
How horrible! Republicans are requiring able bodied adults with no children <14 to spend 18.5 hours/week working, going to school, or public service

IN THIS CASE, STATISTICS BEAT MEDIA LIES!

I’m sick of hearing lies about the heroic actions of the father last week who saved lives when a 16-year-old madman attacked students and teachers at his former elementary school in Bend.
I keep hearing lines like this one: “Few mass shootings in the U.S. end like the deadly attack on an Oregon elementary school: with an armed civilian opening fire on the gunman.”
Actually, that’s categorically untrue. The studies done by the DOJ and FBI show that criminals who present a threat are stopped by armed Americans more than one and a half million times every year.
Where do I get those numbers? Not from the legacy media, that’s for sure.
Dr John Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center is my favorite source on the subject.
Lott pointed to CPRC research covering active shootings from 2014 through 2024. It shows legally armed civilians stopped more active attacks than police did during that time.
But if you use the actual statistics, it puts the lie to the arguments of anti-gun groups in America.
They claim more laws written on paper would stop tragedies like last week.
I’ll stick with my theory that the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, just like last week at Silver Rail Elementary School
The media is so completely biased. CNN should be embarrassed for being so obviously deceptive, but the Blanche nails it.
🚨 JUST IN: AG Todd Blanche catches Dana Bash RED-HANDED misleading viewers on Alaska cheating and he FORCES her to correct on-air
"CONVENIENTLY, you put the Constitution on your screen, but you highlighted only the first clause! Why don't you show the NEXT CLAUSE to your viewers which says that Congress is allowed to pass laws to make sure that that happens? PUT THAT BACK UP THERE."
BASH: We have it up, go ahead 🤣
BLANCHE: "The second clause says, but the Congress made at any time by law — and we have a law and that's the law that we're relying on when we filed suit earlier this week."
Doing anything to make it seem like Trump is violating the Constitution.
He then expertly dismantles any attempt to justify Alaska letting the fake Dan Sullivan on the ballot — FEDERAL LAW is supreme to protect voters
President Trump says he directed the DOJ lawsuit and it only will have an impact if the fraud Sullivan SIPHONS ENOUGH VOTES to unseat incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan.
MASTERCLASS BY BLANCHE

Yes, Armed Civilians Can — and Do — Stop Mass Shootings: Data ignored by the FBI show the importance of defensive gun use in bringing down active shooters
Two days after last week’s attack on an Oregon elementary school, the @AP opened a news story with a familiar claim: “Few mass shootings in the U.S. end like the deadly attack on an Oregon elementary school: with an armed civilian opening fire on the gunman.”

Democrats still cling to DEI policies
Democrat Senator Ed Markey advertises for an intern position, "BIPOC, LGBTQ+, working class, veterans, and other underrepresented candidates with Massachusetts ties are encouraged to apply."

Boy, this 15 year old boy certainly deserves a criminal record! Hopefully they will charge him as an adult and permanently lock him away in prison! Horrible that he would actually mock a politician! Not.
Gunmen murdered 7, and 34 injured, at Christian church in Jordan in what king calls act of terrorism
These mass public shooters do attacks all over the world, though they rarely get media attention.

The “real” name of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has been revealed in a federal court filing with an identical surname to that of her ex-husband — and rumored brother
Usually women have the same name as their husband after they get married, not beforehand.

A 2011 piece by @AbdulElSayed in the Huffington Post saying the US should support the Muslim Brotherhood’s revolution in Egypt. Read it and judge for yourself.
“Why the U.S. Should Support the Protesters in Egypt
America has little to lose by supporting this movement; and what to gain? The trust and allegiance of a generation of young Arabs who will, ultimately, be free.”

“Sydney Sweeney” makes the case for Voter ID.
Prop 39 released a new ad today highlighting what politicians don’t want you to know: California is one of a handful of states that don’t require a photo ID to vote.
Prop 39 is a battle of politicians versus people.
Politicians want you to vote no.
The People are voting yes.
This ad is a parody, but the problem is not.
The politicians want to protect their power and money. We want to give it back to you.
Vote Yes on Prop 39.
