IN DEPTH: Luis Pozzolo wants to flip Arizona's border district

By Tatiana Prophet

When Luis Pozzolo was 6 years old, his father, a Uruguayan senator, fled the country after a military coup d’etat that suspended the constitution and installed the military to rule from 1973 to 1985. Upon his return, the elder Luis Pozzolo was imprisoned for speaking out against the regime.

On Tuesday, the younger Luis Pozzolo, an American citizen since 2012, won the Republican primary in Arizona’s main border district, stretching from Yuma to Nogales. Now called District 7, the border area that comprises a lot of it has been a Democrat stronghold since at least 1960. Even in 1984, when Ronald Reagan swept most of the nation, the Arizona border area was the only district that went to a Democrat — and heavily, with Mo Udall winning 87 percent of the vote.

Pfizer's Original Vaccine Trial Is a Total Scam

You’ll be floored by the small amount of data that was used to say that the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine is 95 percent effective; and when you take into account those who were vaccinated and tested positive before seven days after the second jab, it’s not effective at all; in fact, the placebo group had fewer casese.

Trump-loving rap songs dominate charts

Rapper Loza Alexander has blown up the owner’s manual for how to hit the music charts — if there actually was one. In its upcoming Oct. 30 issue, Billboard magazine noted that his rap single “Let’s Go Brandon” debuted on its Emerging Artist chart at No. 1. But that’s not all; he reigned at No. 1 in all categories, having knocked Adele’s “Easy On Me” off the pinnacle.

Election myths: Unnecessarily complex

The myths of the left and the right. The myth of voter fraud and voter suppression, voter intimidation and voter IDs. Light on data, heavy on logic and experience. Next installment: the data. Note: I never did publish the second installment. Believe it or not, there’s more data on voter fraud than you think. Yet the perception by the public is that there is no evidence.

All About the Caravans: A holistic view

In this video, from 2018, I discuss the roots of asylum seeking in the United States — how it’s different from refugees, and what are any loopholes or weaknesses in the system that leave room for the exploitation of innocent people and the compromising of a sovereign nation’s right to have a say about who enters and lives within its borders.Stats and facts about the flow of Central Americans fleeing their countries.

Mass Shooting Coverage is Designed to Divide

The very first mass murder was in Michigan in the 1920s. For some reason, coverage today frames mass murder in very narrow ways. One might even argue that this coverage — with its low-budget aglomeration by publicly traded companies — is omitting some important patterns, whether on purpose or engineered without the reporters knowing. Watch to find out what these omissions are.

Echo Chambers are Producing Violence

Remember the guy who sent crudely made pipe bombs to Trump’s “enemies” in Washington, D.C.? He had a van plastered with all kinds of kooky stickers and conspiracy theories and a CNN logo with a line through it. It turned out, as I recall, that the pipe bombs were so poorly constructed, they fizzled out without hurting anyone. But the whole event generated a lot of attention.
