Jair Bolsonaro is a threat to left and its values, including the left’s alliance with Islam. So it comes as no surprise that Bolsonaro is also a friend of the only democracy in the Middle East, Israel. He is popular among evangelicals, and has been denounced among leftists as a leader who is supposedly causing “Islamophobia” to grow since the Gaza war.
As he remains under house arrest, Bolsonaro is accused of violating “precautionary measures imposed on him by spreading content through his three lawmaker sons.” However, Bolsonaro’s lawyers argued “that the words he used did not reference the court or violate standing conditions.” The State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs backed Bolsonaro:
Justice Moraes, now a U.S.-sanctioned human rights abuser, continues to use Brazil’s institutions to silence opposition and threaten democracy. Putting even more restrictions on Jair Bolsonaro’s ability to defend himself in public is not a public service. Let Bolsonaro speak!…

Last week, Trump imposed a 50 percent tariff on Brazil and sanctioned Moraes; Trump also called the trial of Bolsonaro a “witch hunt.”
The globalist left long ago began a war on free societies; that battle has never been waged more fiercely, especially since open-door immigration has allowed Western societies to be fully infiltrated by many who harbor hatred of the West.
“Brazil’s Supreme Court orders house arrest for former President Bolsonaro, a Trump ally,” by Maurico Savarese, Associated Press, August 5, 2025:
SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s Supreme Court on Monday ordered the house arrest for former President Jair Bolsonaro, on trial for allegedly masterminding a coup plot to remain in office despite his defeat in the 2022 election — a case that has gripped the South American country as it faces a trade war with the Trump administration.
Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who oversees the case against Bolsonaro before the top court, said in his decision that the 70-year-old former president had violated precautionary measures imposed on him by spreading content through his three lawmaker sons.
Bolsonaro’s lawyers said in a statement that he will appeal the decision. They said his words “good afternoon, Copacabana, good afternoon my Brazil, a hug to everyone, this is for our freedom” — broadcast from a cell phone of one of his sons during a Sunday protest in Rio de Janeiro — cannot “be regarded as ignoring precautionary measures or as a criminal act.”
The trial of the far-right leader is receiving renewed attention after U.S. President Donald Trump directly tied a 50% tariff on imported Brazilian goods to his ally’s judicial situation. Trump has called the proceedings a ” witch hunt,” triggering nationalist reactions from leaders of all branches of power in Brazil, including President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Hours after the decision, the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs said on X that the Trump administration “condemns (de) Moraes’ order imposing house arrest on Bolsonaro and will hold accountable all those aiding and abetting sanctioned conduct.”
“Putting even more restrictions on Jair Bolsonaro’s ability to defend himself in public is not a public service. Let Bolsonaro speak!” the U.S. State Department body said.
Brazil’s government has not commented on the case.

I’m conflicted b/w whether we should let other countries, including in Latin America, chart their own course, vs preventing more countries in the hemisphere going the way of Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia. Brazil seems to be next
All Latin Americans can’t just move here, or to Argentina

Lilac is a flaming Communist! Brazil was one of the remaining Bastion of Freedom in South and Latin America. I have Brazilian friends and also spent Two months living there with them several years ago when Brazil was Free and not under Communism like it is today.
What Communism does when it gains power, it then comes after its opponents. They will eventually try Bassaro for whatever they want, then either permanently imprison him or execute him.
Keep in mind, the Communist in this country will also do this to Trump so we need to make sure that we win the 2028 election with Vance as President. Once we lose, we lose our Freedom as well.

The Blaze is reporting that a dem from Illinois has pledged loyalty to Guatemala.
from The Tampa Free Press
“Border Czar Tom Homan Rips Illinois Rep. Ramirez For Declaring Allegiance To Guatemala”
“Border Czar Tom Homan ridiculed Democrat Illinois Rep. Delia Ramirez on Wednesday for declaring her allegiance to Guatemala over the U.S. during an anti-American summit abroad.
Ramirez proudly stated in Spanish that she is a “proud Guatemalan before [she is] an American” during the summit located in Mexico City that several far-left lawmakers attended. Homan told reporters outside of the White House that her remarks are “disgusting” and a betrayal to her constituents who elected her to represent them.”
“……“What she needs to know is ICE is deporting thousands of nationals of Guatemala every week and we’re going to continue that until every illegal alien from Guatemala is removed in this country. That’s what the people voted for and that’s what we’re going to do. It’s unfortunate that she said that. It’s ridiculous,” Homan continued.”

“Ramirez and other left-wing lawmakers, such as Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, attended the second annual Pan-American Congress to challenge U.S. global dominance. The Illinois congresswoman, whose parents illegally entered the U.S. from Guatemala, accused the U.S. of being “addicted to war” and of prioritizing “imperialism, militarization, conquest, control, competition in its attempt at domination.”
Ramirez’s husband is also an illegal immigrant, prompting her website to tout that she is the only congresswoman in a “mixed-status marriage.””
