Ol' Blue Eyes was wrong

They may got a lotta coffee in Brasil, but there's a lot more than that

I said to keep an eye on Brazil, and things are eye-popping down there. For a brief rundown, here's a piece from Gateway  If you look, it does seem to be a combination of us and Canuckistan, with protesters and truckers making life Hell for the latest thrall of the Davos crowd. But this time, the Army is on the side of the good guys. Important point.

In the immortal words of Stephen Stills, there's something happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear. This is the third major country (I know) to have its freedoms and institutions usurped, but to have the people fight back. Like J6, Fake News is calling it a riot, and we could call it that, but it would turn every Democrat/Leftist protest of the last 50+ years into a riot.

What's happening is that the people have gone to the capital to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. In a disorderly way, granted, but so was the Boston Tea Party (Philadelphia just told them to drop dead). So the ante is being upped by the people. The Left is getting all huffy about it with Brandon decrying the "assault on democracy and on the peaceful transfer of power". Democracy, of course, is Democrat for we steal elections and rule, not govern.

Another point to be pondered closer to home is that the rules changes to which McCarthy agreed have actually passed. The doomsters were sure it wouldn't happen, but here we are; which makes the reason more Rs didn't jump on the rejectionist bandwagon a bit puzzling.

I have a feeling we have turned, or are turning, a corner here, but where it leads, truly,  ain't exactly clear.

This may be the winter when more than the streets of San Fiasco get washed clean.

We shall see.
