As someone whose country was taken over by the left and is becoming a Banana Republic, I'd like to tell my American friends to #VoteRedToSaveAmerica .
Don't make the same mistakes we made in here. Once leftists have taken power, they'll ruin the country and won't be voted out.

Seven minutes after the election results came in, federal police, dispatched by Supreme Court Justice Moraes, moved to seize Bolsonaro's passport. Shame on global leaders and the media for defending Lula and Moraes turning Brazil into a banana Republic.

12th-century monastery cathedral returned to Russian Church
orthochristian.com/181141.ht…
A cathedral whose frescoes were painted by unknown Greek masters in the 1130s and 1140s is going back to the Russian Orthodox Church.
Brazilian here. I'd like to say to all my American friends: the current Democratic party is no longer JFK's party. It's been taken over by radical Marxists and commies. Do not hand your country to them in these midterms. You're doomed if you do.
Let me break down the Flavio Bolsonaro situation and why he is in the United States just hours after the election…
First, they imprisoned his father. They sentenced Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years and placed him under house arrest after he challenged the 2022 results and was accused of plotting to overturn the election.
In this recent election, Bolsonaro was ahead. Lula and his thugs, including his former corruption lawyer, who now sits on Brazil’s Supreme Court, requested a two-hour extension that miraculously produced enough votes for Lula to win. That extension added only about 35,000 votes, roughly 0.03 percent of the total, which is nowhere near enough to explain Lula’s final margin of roughly 4.4 million votes.
Bolsonaro immediately challenged the election because anyone who is not a communist and has a brain could see that the election was stolen from him if they actually paid attention to what was happening. President Trump called the outcome a rigged election and said it looked very bad.
Hours later, they accused him of trying to overturn the election, EXACTLY as they did to his father, and accused him of inciting “violence” in the streets. Then they prohibited him from leaving the country, even though he had committed no crime, and canceled his passport to make sure he could not leave.
Fortunately, Bolsonaro had been working with the United States. They extracted him in an undisclosed operation before the authorities could throw him in prison just like his father.
Meanwhile, while ALL of this is unfolding, Lula’s little tranny lover, Erika Hilton, who is a “Congresswoman,” is publicly calling for the Brazilian government to seize Bolsonaro’s and his wife’s assets and freeze ALL their bank accounts.
DOES THAT SOUND NORMAL TO YOU? A man challenges an election, and suddenly the Brazilian government is coming after him for doing exactly that.
THIS IS COMMUNISM.
So while you see Democrats across our country congratulating Lula on his victory, including Alex Soros, the biggest demon of them all, understand exactly what you are looking at. These are the people cheering on a government that is targeting its political opposition. They are the enemy, and they will attempt the SAME thing against a Republican here in America, just as they did to Trump.
This is EXACTLY why it is essential to vote RED and make absolutely sure our country NEVER becomes what Brazil has become.
ONCE YOU GO COMMUNIST, YOU CAN NEVER GET OUT OF IT.
Thank God.
I can confirm that @FlavioBolsonaro is no longer in Brazil and is on his way to the United States.
A US protective operation is underway to ensure his safety.

Governo legitimamente eleito não persegue oposição, não faz censura e não reprime quem não o escolheu. Quem faz isso é ditador inseguro, sem sustentação que quer provar que é o dono da casa que não lhe pertence.

Yesterday, Brazil showed the world that the will of the people is stronger than the authoritarians who try to suppress it. Congratulations President @LulaOficial and congratulations Brazil.

I warned yesterday that the decisive test for Brazil would come AFTER the election. Would Brazil return to normal democratic competition or follow Venezuela’s path after December 2015?
That test applies regardless of who ultimately wins or loses the contested election.
Last night, Lula used his victory speech to promise greater regulation of social media platforms he accused of interfering against him. Today, his opponent—who is challenging the result—says Alexandre de Moraes has ordered him to surrender his passports and forbidden him from leaving Brazil.
Venezuela’s warning is precisely this. After the opposition won parliament in December 2015, courts became instruments of Maduro for stripping that victory of its practical meaning. Democratic institutions retained their names while entirely losing their independence. Maduro never left until he was removed by force.
Lawfare becomes a means of consolidating power when opponents can participate in elections but cannot safely challenge those who govern.
This is what the U.S. and other governments should examine as it weighs recognition. The question extends beyond the tally to whether Brazil will preserve meaningful political competition afterward.
If Brazil is returning to normal, demonstrate it Lula and Moraes. Protect lawful dissent, permit election challenges and justify every restriction through evidence and due process.
Winning an election, if Lula even won it, would confer authority to govern. It confers no authority to extinguish the opposition.
Folks, if you can, please include me and family in your daily prayers.
Never thought I'd see my country becoming a left-wing dictatorship in my life, but Brazil's on the path to become a new Cuba or Venezuela.
May God grant them rest among the Saints, and may their memory be eternal. Amen. ☦️

On the grounds of St George’s Greek Orthodox Church in Hammoud, innocent blood was shed, yet the faith and legacy of those who sacrificed their lives remain engraved in the conscience of all Orthodox Christians.
We commemorate our martyrs in our prayers and ask our God, who is risen from the dead, to grant rest to their souls among the Saints, to comfort us all, and to preserve Christianity in Jordan and in the whole world.
Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!
It's great to see how Indians cherish and value their own myths and stories. Their epic mythological films are spectacular.
Meanwhile, in the West, we "adapt" our cultural heritage to "modern audiences" and ruin it with woke crap, like Nolan's Odyssey.

BioWare is not, like, a guy. BioWare closing is not like Steven Spielberg or Quentin Tarantino getting fired or cancelled.
BioWare is a business entity that existed for 30 years. During that time people — including lead creatives who were responsible for the great games — came and went.
Some video game studios manage to maintain a culture and a sensibility around excellence and the key creatives either stick around for a long time or pass the reins to handpicked successors who share their values and preserve the culture and standards of the studios.
What has happened in the game industry over the last 15 years is that there came to be a widespread belief that the cultures that incubated excellent games were exclusionary racist, sexist, homophobic boys clubs that needed to change in order to welcome in different kinds of people.
Instead of hiring people who shared their values and sensibilities, the people at these game studios were pressured to push their workforces toward being 50% female while achieving racial equity. The staff of the studios changed dramatically, the cultures of the workplaces changed dramatically and the games changed dramatically.
The pandemic sent a lot of people into their homes to play video games, which seemed like it was going to drive an era of growth for the industry. At the same time, the new generation of gaming hardware required more detailed assets, more animation, and therefore more people to make these massive games.
So there was a huge hiring boom at the precise moment that there was an overarching focus of the demographics of the industry, which means that nearly every Western game studio’s workforce was completely transformed. Over 40% of games industry workers under the age of 25 identified as LGBT or nonbinary on recent surveys.
Additionally, some studios have had unique pressures that have driven a lot of turnover. At Rocksteady Games, for example, a lot of the people who made the Batman: Arkham trilogy were not interested in building the live service game Warner wanted, so most of the principals on those games left the studio during the production of “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.”
The studio cannot pivot back to what used to be its strength at making single player titles after that failure because all the people who are responsible for the classic games are gone. They no longer have that strength. They no longer have the institutional capacity to make great games because great games are made by great people and the great people are gone. A similar thing happened to BioWare during “Anthem.”
They couldn’t just pivot back to making great “Dragon Age” or “Mass Effect” games after the failure of “Anthem” because too many people were gone and the culture had changed. They weren’t the same studio and they weren’t a great studio anymore.
The BioWare that was shuttered today is not the studio that made “Mass Effect 2” or “Knights of the Old Republic.” That studio hasn’t existed for many years. It was just the “Dragon Age: The Veilguard” studio.
