In South America this week, we are seeing how bad it could have been. Late yesterday, Brazil's manic, freakish, version of Judge James Boasberg, Justice Alexandre de Moraes, ordered Brazil's equivalent of President Trump, former President Jair Bolsonaro arrested for questioning the 2022 Brazilian presidential electoral result, that, as with President Trump, he was mysteriously defeated in by a narrow margin after showing significant strength on the campaign...

The Texas House passed a motion on Monday to issue arrest warrants for more than 50 Democratic lawmakers after they failed to appear at the chamber to vote on a Republican-led effort to redistrict the state’s congressional maps. Democratic lawmakers broke quorum by fleeing to blue states like Illinois and New York and by not returning when the chamber gaveled at 3 p.m. Their absence led state House Speaker Dustin Burrows to say he would immediately sign civil warrants to permit the chamber’s sergeant-at-arms and state troopers to arrest them and return them to the state Capitol. “The sergeant-at-arms and...

What’s another starving BS artist? Cynthia Nixon’s daughter Seph Mozes, who identifies as a man, is going on a hunger strike for Gaza — but really for attention. “He and five of his compatriots are doing a hunger strike in Chicago … ,” a proud Nixon told Newsweek, adding that her 28-year-old child has no “illusions that he’s going to end the war, but I think he wants to do everything he can.” To earn a merit badge in the art of self-congratulations, apparently. Maybe Nixon’s offspring had the misfortune of seeing the actress in bed with Rosie O”Donnell in...

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” he was suing New Jersey’s acting Attorney General Alina Habba and a Department of Homeland Security special agent on allegations of false arrest at an ICE detention facility in Newark because it was “egregious” and “authoritarian.

He also issued a restraining order against Woeltz, so if he does get out of...

The main military committee said Friday that those responsible would be held accountable for their “unpardonable criminal act.” Satellite imagery on the site showed the vessel lying on its side and draped in blue covers, with...
