On Monday, Townhall posted an article about the recent election in Brazil.

The article reports:

Following his electoral “loss” in the Brazilian presidential election, conservative Flavio Bolsonaro has announced that authorities have seized his passport.

The order to surrender the passport was reportedly issued by Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. This decision followed a motion from Federal Deputy Duda Salabert, a prominent leftist. Salabert is further demanding Bolsonaro’s arrest.

The Brazilian election has been heavily scrutinized following the South American state’s Supreme Court decision to extend voting hours in a fashion that allowed heavily incumbent President Lula da Silva-favored areas to remain open, but required Bolsonaro areas to remain closed. The result was so suspect that the New York Times reported that the result could be annulled and another run-off election may be required.

There is more than one way to steal an election. Choosing which polls remained open and which remained closed may have changed the outcome of the election. Under current Brazilian President Lula da Silva, the country seems to be run as a police state. If you are on the right side of the President, you are fine. If you are on the wrong side of the President, you can be charged with any crime and arrested. President da Silva is evidently planning to send Bolsonaro to prison. President da Silva is also planning to regulate social media. It doesn’t sound as if Brazil is going to be a free country.

UPDATE: I am hearing reports that Bolsonaro has arrived in America through Argentina. Obviously, Argentinian President Javier Milei would not be aligned with Lula de Silva, so it is very possible that he would aid Bolsonaro. I am hoping that Bolsonaro and his family are safely in America.
