Mike Waltz stood at the UN and did exactly what President Reagan warned about decades ago, he showed how Cuban leaders have lined their own pockets while the people live with shortages and blackouts. When the Cuban delegation tried to interrupt and shut him down, he held his ground and kept laying out the evidence. That kind of directness is rare in that building. President Reagan called the outcome years ago; Waltz is the one who put the proof on the record and didn’t back down when they pushed back.

Dictatorships don’t stop at rigging the vote. They go after the real winner. On Sunday, Flávio Bolsonaro was denied the presidency in an election that President Trump and millions of Brazilians immediately called rigged. Voting hours were extended, turnout figures looked off, and the final result appeared engineered to keep Lula in power, stealing the victory that rightfully belonged to Flávio. Within hours of that outcome, Supreme Court Justice evil Alexandre de Moraes ordered Federal Police to seize Flávio’s Brazilian passport, his diplomatic passport, and his Italian passport. Moraes also imposed an immediate travel ban and placed a migration alert on his name. The move was linked to ongoing investigations that many see as political persecution rather than ordinary justice. He was given 24 hours to turn the documents over. The deadline expired Tuesday morning. Federal Police then canceled the passports, shutting down normal exit routes. With his documents invalidated, a travel ban in place, and the same court that already has his father under house arrest now targeting him, Flávio left Brazil with his wife and two daughters. According to reports and allied accounts, he has since arrived safely in the United States, Florida as the expected destination, where the Trump administration was informed of the departure in advance and is prepared to grant political asylum to Flávio and his family. From there, he is expected to continue leading the opposition against Lula.

Walking out to check the mail when this butterfly landed right in my path. Totally different spot from the ones I have filmed on the patio. Love seeing them around here! But watch closely… something pops its head out of that little hole for a split second and disappears. Did you catch it? What do y'all think it is? 👀
