  • Bolsonaro Puts His Foot in His Mouth with Statements about Bruno Pereira and Dom Phillips

    Jair Bolsonaro declared the other day that he was not cut out to be president. He must know what he's talking about. He is averse to work, ignores republican principles, disrespects the separation of powers, does not know the liturgy of office, and has no idea what empathy is.

  • Inflation!

    Inflation!! The word irritates voters worldwide, and tempts them into populism. France this Sunday chooses between Macron and Le Pen, between a democrat and an authoritarian. France?! With an inflation rate of a little under 4%?! While Ukrainians are dying by the hundreds every day to defend democracy, French voters, irritated by paying a little more for bread and petrol, look into the abyss, tempted to give it a try. In my own country, the Republican Party has been taken over by Trump-Bolsonaro-Putin authoritarians. Biden?s Democrats, who at least are democrats, face a wipeout in next November?s elections, because of an inflation rate of 8% Watch out: in Brazil it?s about 10%.
