Firing off personal attacks, Brazil‘s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and right-wing senator Flavio Bolsonaro held an acrimonious first debate Sunday, a week before a tight presidential election runoff.

A chaotic exchange between the two men, who called each other liars on multiple occasions, accusing each other of corruption and dragging up various scandals, encapsulated the tone of a bitter election campaign in the deeply polarised nation.

Bolsonaro, 45, son of the far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro, secured a shock first-round lead over Lula earlier this month and polls predict a close battle for the runoff on October 25.

The two men sparred over the economy, public security, healthcare, corruption, and Brazil’s ties to the United States.

Congress Passed Tough Russia Sanctions, So Trump Found Section 115 – PJ Media– pjmedia.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

On September 18, President Donald Trump signed a law designed to punish Russia for continuing its war against Ukraine. The Senate had approved it 86-11. On October 16, as its major new penalties approached, Trump issued an executive order that waived much of what Congress had just enacted.

Lawmakers gave him authority in a provision they included in the statute: Section 115.

The Graham Act was meant to increase economic pressure on Moscow and its trading partners. It authorized duties as high as 500% on Russian imports and up to 100% on goods from certain countries buying Russian oil and gas. It also targeted Russian officials, banks, energy interests, and efforts to evade existing sanctions.

Section 115 permits the president to waive sanctions, restrictions, or duties under the act. Before doing so, he must send Congress a written certification, accompanied by an explanation, that the waiver serves America’s national interests. The text doesn’t require Russia to make concessions before a waiver can be issued. Congress expressly gave the president discretion.

Trump used it. Section 4 of his October 16 order waives new tariffs under Sections 112 and 113 and includes a long list of sanctions provisions. Anyone looking only at the announced diesel arrangement would miss the decision’s breadth. The order also directs trade officials to monitor Russian energy purchases and sanctions evasion, preserving the possibility of future penalties if the administration changes course.

TOLEDO, Ohio — House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday the election climate is holding firm for Democrats as he campaigned for Rep. Marcy Kaptur in a heavily contested Ohio congressional district that is crucial for majority control of the House.

Jeffries also slapped back at President Donald Trump’s abrupt decision to waive sanctions on Russia and said there will be a bipartisan effort in the House to pursue a new sanctions package that the president would not have the ability to waive.

“It’s shocking, but not surprising, that an American president would do so much to undermine the cause of democracy, freedom and dignity for the Ukrainian people,” Jeffries told The Associated Press after visiting church services in Toledo.

Jeffries, who is in line to become House speaker if Democrats win back the majority, has traveled to some 50 cities campaigning for Democratic candidates. He said the House Republicans are “divorced from reality” in thinking — as Speaker Mike Johnson recently suggested — that the Nov. 3 election will be a repeat of the 2024 sweep that put Trump in the White House and Republicans in Congress.

Border czar Tom Homan said Representative Ilhan Omar could lose her US citizenship and face deportation if federal investigators determine that she committed immigration fraud. The comments come days after federal agents searched the congresswoman’s Washington, DC, home and seized her cellphone as part of an ongoing investigation.

Speaking to Fox News, Homan said authorities could pursue denaturalization if evidence shows that Omar provided false information during the naturalization process.

“Of course, if you lie during the naturalization process, there is a process to denaturalize somebody. We’ve done it before… And certainly, if the evidence points that way, that could happen,” Homan said.

Former President Barack Obama once again inserted himself into the wrong side of a legal discussion after chiming in to defend Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Obama — who was sharply criticized during his presidency for meddling in cases such as the Trayvon Martin murder trial and the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates — was brutally ratioed on X with Community Notes pointing out the many errors in his screed.

“Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically,” Obama claimed.

However, notes citing the New York Post and Washington Post both noted that there was no documentation showing that Omar’s father ever was naturalized.

Down the homestretch of the campaign, Republican Mike Rogers is laser-focused on hammering home the point that DSA-backed Democrat Abdul El-Sayed is unfit to represent Michigan in the United States Senate because his loyalties are with America’s enemies.

It’s something the GOP Senate nominee has done on the campaign trail, at debates, on social media, and in interviews as part of a comprehensive effort to outline the stark differences between himself and El-Sayed so Michigan voters can be better informed before they head to the polls.

On Sunday, Rogers did an interview with CNN State of the Union co-anchor Dana Bash, where they talked about the Senate race, foreign policy, and the economy. But along the way, Bash let her TDS shine through when she kept pressing Rogers on whether he agreed with President Trump’s assessment that El-Sayed was a “terrorist.” Rogers smartly did not take the bait, and instead pointed to why people might feel that way about the Democrat nominee:

Listen, I have never called him a terrorist. I wore the uniform in the United States of America, so people can pray any way they want. That is not the issue here.

French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday voiced the public’s “anger” and “shame” over rioting and looting during nationwide protests against rising living costs and poor conditions in schools. At least 2,400 people were arrested.

Macron echoed other government officials in blaming much of the violence on far-left activists, accusing them of attacking police and public buildings to foment chaos.

“Those who looted will have to pay for the damage, and those who sought to bring down the Republic will be held accountable,” Macron said in a televised address to the nation.

He denounced “unrestrained violence” by “insurrectionist elements from radical far-left groups, joined by numerous criminals.”

Macron earlier held an emergency meeting with senior government officials, a day after masked groups set fires and attacked city halls in several cities. He said he had instructed prefects to work with mayors to protect public buildings and businesses in the coming weeks, including by banning protests when necessary.

JACKSON, Mississippi — Raphael Warnock is racing to get Democrat Scott Colom elected in deep-red Mississippi. It’s part of his bigger bet on the South.

Colom, a charismatic local prosecutor, is within striking distance in the polls of unseating Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. And in the absence of more dedicated resources, Warnock himself is trying to fill the gap by directing money and donors to the race.

He has raised over $500,000 directly into Colom’s campaign committee, according to a person with direct knowledge of his efforts, granted anonymity to share private details. And, over the course of four separate fundraisers, has tried to steer Senate Democrats’ top donors to the race.

In April, he told attendees at a Democratic donor breakfast that he thinks the party is “sleeping on” the Mississippi contest, prompting surprised laughter from the crowd, according to a recording of the event obtained by POLITICO.

“I’m going to ask you to resist the Democratic tendency to ignore the South,” he told the assembled donors. “And for our own sake, for the sake of us having a possibility of winning over time, I think we can win in Mississippi if the conditions are just right.”

In our essay last month, we proposed that presumed incoming Alabama governor Tommy Tuberville (R) pursue an aggressive and innovative political strategy to stem the growth of Islam in his state. His challenge, however, is no longer confined to the spread of the so-called religion of peace.

Since the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, what had largely been an implicit alliance between Islamist activists and two predominant elements of American progressivism — gender anarchists and racial idolators — has increasingly declared itself in public.

Muslim scriptural and legal traditions often escape the scrutiny applied to Christian texts in progressive circles.

Consider the coalition behind Columbia University’s Gaza encampment in April 2024. Columbia University Apartheid Divest brought together 116 student organizations, including the Muslim Students Association, Columbia Queer Alliance, Genderev, the Black Student Organization, and White Coats 4 Black Lives. Its members made common cause under the banner of fighting interconnected systems of oppression. That January, the American Muslim Task Force for Palestine, representing organizations including CAIR and the Muslim American Society, partnered with the left-wing ANSWER Coalition to organize a massive demonstration in Washington.

When General Dynamics pulled out and the fuel companies came calling, Fred Smith did something his board never would have approved. What he did next with the company’s last dollars either saved FedEx or simply bought it one more week…

Federal Express was down to its last $5,000, according to Roger Frock’s account. The money belonged to the company. It was the company’s last cash, and none of it was Fred Smith‘s personal money. Smith took it to Las Vegas anyway.

The trip paid for one week of jet fuel. For the rest of his life, Smith refused to call that week the moment that counted.

Smith served in the Marine Corps from 1966 to 1969 as a platoon leader and forward air controller in South Vietnam. He served two combat tours, was honorably discharged as a captain and was decorated with a Silver Star, a Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts.

He founded Federal Express on June 18, 1971, using a $4 million inheritance. Operations began on April 17, 1973, with 14 Dassault Falcon jets and 389 employees. On the first day, the company delivered 186 packages across 25 US cities. Over its first two years, it lost $30 million.

According to Memphis magazine, paychecks during this stretch were sometimes postdated, and pilots occasionally paid for fuel with their personal credit cards.

Tiny, my eye!

On Saturday’s edition of MS NOW’s The Weekend, Miles ‘Anonymous’ Taylor—dressed as ever in pleather—a disgruntled former Trump 1.0 administration member, discussing the Trump administration’s investigation of Ilhan Omar’s naturalization status, said that “a tiny paperwork error” would not be grounds for stripping her of her naturalization.

Tapping the usual partisan MS NOW line, co-host Jackie Alemany had already framed the Omar probe as “unprecedented and insane.” And Kimberly Atkins-Stohr of the Boston Globe played the race-religion card, casting the case as President Trump going after “the black Muslim woman.” 

Although Taylor didn’t specify the “tiny error” he was referring to, it was almost certainly that, long after she was naturalized, Omar had her congressional staff change her birth year on official records from 1981 to 1982.

That’s anything but tiny. If indeed, as has long been on the record, she was born in 1981, she would not have been a minor at the time her father was naturalized, and thus would not have been naturalized along with him. Moreover, falsely changing her DOB to preserve her naturalization could be a crime in itself.

She called it “an economic development bill” and a public safety measure. The proposals she introduced as a legislator did not become law, according to the Heartland Post.

Major protests have been reported from many countries in recent days, with some of them continuing to simmer and spread. From France to Argentina, many of these protests seemed to be over issues that have been commonly seen in nearly every nation, issues such as economic strain linked to housing costs, inflation, public-service funding and anti-incumbency.

France and Albania at the moment face the most serious challenges to their policies from wave after wave of protesters, leading to situations that could spread like wildfire. We look at some of these protests.

Massive protests have broken out in France due to two reasons concerning government policies linked to anger over high prices ahead of the presidential election, and a massive student and teacher movement protesting school conditions as well as education funding cuts. The election will put the curtains down on President Emmanuel Macron since the country’s laws make him ineligible to contest any more.

The France student crisis began last month as a small, localised protest to demand education funding by both teachers and students in Paris before it spread to a larger area. Violent clashes have been reported ever since the protest began, with classes disrupted in many areas.

A combination of predominantly African Muslim and leftist rioters destroyed a historic French landmark amid month-long nationwide riots that are supposedly about “education.”

In Limoges, the 1883 Hôtel de Ville, a listed neo-Renaissance building inspired by Paris City Hall and standing approximately 141 feet at its central clock tower, was set alight by masked individuals after a march. The roof collapsed onto lower floors except the west wing, two-thirds of the exterior was destroyed, and the hand-crafted clock tower ultimately collapsed into the blaze.

Local prefect Maurice Barate described the result as a “heritage catastrophe.” The structure, which had survived two world wars, was assessed as largely lost.

In Lyon, a branch of the city tourism office occupying an 1852 pavilion on Place Bellecour was looted and burned. Hooded individuals dressed in black first accessed the roof, removed signage letters, then entered the building and ignited a fire. Fire crews were delayed by hostile groups throwing projectiles and fireworks.

Mayor Grégory Doucet called the loss a tragedy for an iconic, well-known historic structure. The building had served as a visitor facility after interior renovation in 2015.

The day after waiving sanctions and tariffs related to Russian exports, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday he has yet to announce a final decision on the matter as Secretary of State Marco Rubio said officials want more time to evaluate the situation.

“A lot of you don’t know what my decision is yet, but we’ll figure it out, and you’ll figure it out,” Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.

The waiver comes just weeks before November’s midterm elections, with Trump under pressure over high energy prices as war with Iran disrupts global oil supplies.

Trump signed an executive order on Friday waiving key sanctions and tariffs under the law known as the Graham Act, which he signed last month at the urging of lawmakers who want to pressure Moscow over its war in Ukraine.

Physicists have uncovered a strange new form of quantum behavior in which particles organize themselves in ways that challenge established theories. Even more surprising, the particles maintain a remarkable hidden order despite being driven into an extremely energetic state.

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, researchers from the group led by Hanns-Christoph Nägerl, working with theoretical physicist Alvise Bastianello of the CNRS and Université Paris-Dauphine, describe how to engineer an exotic quantum state known as a “fractional Fermi sea.”

The breakthrough involves pushing ultracold cesium atoms far beyond their normal conditions by repeatedly changing how strongly they attract or repel one another. Rather than simply becoming disordered, the particles rearrange themselves into an unusual configuration that behaves differently from the quantum systems scientists have traditionally studied.

The theoretical findings provide the foundation for recent experimental research conducted by Nägerl’s team at the Department of Experimental Physics.

With just over two weeks left until election day, Democrats can barely contain their glee.

Control of the House seems about to fall into their eager laps. Senate races in states that are normally cardinal red — Alaska, Iowa, Kansas and Texas among them — have grown fiercely competitive.
