🚨 HOLY CRAP! A defiant Flavio Bolsonaro just walked out and declared THE RESULTS ARE INVALID after Lula STOLE it from him — BOLSONARO IS MOVING TO ANUL THE RESULTS.
"It is impossible—it is IMPOSSIBLE—to recognize the election results in the context of how these things happened. We are going to use our legal team; we are going to ask for the annulment of these elections!"
"I will never know, in a state where the polling stations were not reopened, how many votes I could have received."
"A Supreme Court justice, for the first time in history—Lula's former lawyer—issued a unilateral decree at the request of a former law partner of his, and changed the rules of the game in the middle of the game!"
"At 5:01 PM, Justice Zanin—who is not part of the Superior Electoral Court—trampling over the specialized electoral court, made a decision extending voting by two hours. This had never happened in the history of Brazil!"
Good.
This needs to happen.
America is with you, FLAVIO! We all saw the last-minute cheat.

Socialists in Brazil are now trying to throw Flávio Bolsonaro in prison and take his passport.
First they weaponize the courts, then they silence political opponents. Pure tyranny!
Pray for Brazil. We cannot ever let this happen in America! 🇧🇷🇺🇸

JUST IN: 🇧🇷 Over $200,000,000,000 wiped out from the Brazil stock market at open after Lula da Silva wins Brazil's presidential election, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro.

Brazilian journalist Malu Gaspar says all Superior Electoral Court ministers were against the idea of extending the voting in Brazil by 2 hours.
Zanin, Lula’s former personal lawyer, appointed by Lula to Supreme Court Justice made that decision anyway

This illegal alien’s fear of persecution in his home country, according to 60 Minutes, revolved around his conversion to Christianity, with Mali being a Muslim-majority nation.
Percival, however, states that he pulled Diawara's file and discovered that he had claimed not to want to be sent to Mali because he was "gay."
Yet, Diawara has a US Wife. Two kids.
Immigration fraud
This illegal alien is @60Minutes poster child for what it claims are wrongful deportations. I pulled his file. His claimed reason for fearing Mali was that he is “gay,” just in case you’re wondering how bad the immigration fraud problem is.

We are constantly told that universal mail-in balloting is totally secure…
I’ve always said that is inherently absurd, especially in nursing homes.
But we just ran into a new issue here in Southern California…
3 ballots were placed in my in-laws locked mailbox by a post office mistake!
This kind of thing must happen fairly regularly. There is effectively/virtually nothing to stop us from casting these ballots.
How can anyone take this system of voting remotely seriously?!
🤔😱🤦♂️🤷♂️
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
