Socialist Returns In Brazil

Brazil’s Socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva apparently held off a tough challenge from conservative challenger Flávio Bolsonaro in Sunday’s re-election showdown between the two powerhouse candidates.  Going into Sunday’s vote, polls had given Bolsonaro a slight edge, so Lula’s tenacity comes as a surprise.

The vote sets Brazil apart from most of Latin America, including Peru Chile, Costa Rico and Colombia,  all of which elected new conservative presidents over the past year. American President Donald Trump clearly favored Bolsonaro, who received about 49 percent of the vote, trailing Lula’s 51 percent.

The New York Times says a two-hour election extension, granted by a Lula-aligned judge, might lead to an “annulment” of the election. “This is an extremely serious, critical situation,” said electoral lawyer Priscilla Sodré Pereira to the New York Times. Here’s more from the New York Post.

Bolsonaro Kicks Lula To Curb

The Liberal Party — the name of the conservative party in Brazil — took the majority of seats in both the House and Senate in Sunday’s elections, and now stands poised to return a Bolsonaro to the Presidency. Flavio Bolsonaro, the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, won the most votes in the election as well but did not receive a 50 percent majority.

So Bolsonaro’s election will have to wait until a run-off election on Oct. 25, when he won’t have to face 8 or more contestants. He’ll only have one opponent  — the reigning Socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Let’s hope Bolsonaro sends Lula to hell, where he can commiserate with the rest of the Socialist losers.

The world at large is turning against these hypocrites. Now it’s time to follow suit in the United States! Here’s more from Steve Turley.

Brazilian Run-Off Looms

Flavio Bolsonaro has an edge in the 2026 presidential election in Brazil, leading 48 percent to 44 percent over current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. But neither has secured the 50 percent majority to win election, so unless the remaining votes provide one of these two the needed margin, we could see a runoff between them.

Bolsonaro is the son of the former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, leading an effort to restore the center-right presidency the senior Bolsonaro established. The father was defeated by the corrupt Da Silva, who took office in 2023. Let’s hope Da Silva doesn’t cheat again, although having done so already, he is most certainly capable of further criminality.

Earlier polls gave Lula the edge over Bolsonaro, but the conservative pulled ahead in election day voting, reflecting a trend throughout Latin America. There are less than 10 percent of the votes remaining to count. If neither candidate clears a majority, the runoff takes place Oct. 25. Here’s more from the New York Post.

Bolsonaro Refuses To Concede

Conservative candidate Flavio Bolsonaro is refusing to concede as charges fly that Brazil’s Socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva rigged his re-election vote.  There most certainly were irregularities on this election, after a judge handpicked by Lula extended the voting for an extra two hours on Sunday.

And immediately after being declared the winner, Lula railed against the United States. What a typical cheap-shot, two-bit socialist!  May he rest in Hell! Here’s more from Steve Tuley.
