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.

Jasmine Crockett Gets The Boot

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the loud-mouthed leftist from Texas, got turned out in her race to advance to the U.S. Senate. In Tuesday’s primary election, Crockett only gathered about 46 percent of the vote, while James Talarico took 53 percent to become the Democratic nominee.

The Republican race advanced to a runoff as the totals were too close to call between sitting U.S. Sen. John Cornyn and his opponent, Attorney General Ken Paxton. The runoff race will happen in May.

Also battling to a runoff in Texas’ primary: U.S. Rep. Al Green, the Texas Democrat who tried six different times to impeach President Donald Trump. Green was beat by a much younger Democrat – 38-year-iold Christian Menefee — but Menefee fell short of 50 percent of the vote, so the two contestants will square off once more in a May runoff. Here’s more from Benny Johnson.
