Maybe we will see a 'mom' ad in Brazil

It's getting nasty down in Brazil in front of Sunday's election. As you probably know, President Lula is behind in polls against Flavio Bolsonaro, the former president's son. Did I tell you that the former president is under house arrest for challenging the election results?

We have not seen a son going after his father's critics since George W. Bush took out Governor Ann Richards in Texas. Remember "Poor George, he can't help it -- he was born with a silver foot in his mouth." That was sweet back in 1994, and I hope that Flavio can share the stage with father Jair on Sunday night when he wins, as expected.

Well, let's check this out from Beege Welborn:

Now Lula has a serious problem. What was supposed to be one more cakewalk to another duly regime-engineered term as the country's ersatz democratically elected president has turned into a dogfight that has the eyes of the world on it. And worse -- Lula under the harsh scrutiny of the United States and its president.

He is reacting badly.

The run-off election is three days from now, on Sunday the 25th.

This past Sunday's debate between the two contenders was a fiery, raucous affair, during which Lula threw threats around like Carnival confetti.

Yes, Lula is getting desperate. I guess that he doesn't want to join the long list of Latin American leaders thrown out by voters. Lula looks around, and he sees Chile, Argentina, Colombia, and it's a different planet than it was a few years ago.

Many fear that President Lula will play the legal card and cancel Bolsonaro's victory. Many fear this, but Brazilians won't stand for it. It will throw the country in total chaos, and the streets will have more people than their famous carnivals.

I hope that Brazil can clean up their own mess.

When you vote your way into socialism, you must fight to get out…

Things may change with no USAID putting their thumb on the scales.
