It’s well known that Vice President Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. But what few Americans know is that President Harry Truman also took out Hamilton. Hamilton wasn’t laid low in a duel. But congressional officials recently moved Hamilton’s statue out of the Capitol rotunda in exchange for a statue of the 33rd president. Hamilton’s statue is now exiled to the Capitol’s "Hall of Columns," a lengthy, ornate corridor on the first floor of the House wing.

China’s state-run Global Times propaganda newspaper lamented the results of the Brazilian presidential election on Monday, warning that conservative President Jair Bolsonaro significantly overperforming compared to national polls could lead to a “January 6”-style riot in Brasilia. Bolsonaro came in second place in Sunday’s election, just five points behind frontrunner and former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Years of polling had indicated that Lula enjoyed outsized popularity nationwide; as recently as this weekend , a national poll showed Lula trouncing Bolsonaro by 14 points and crossing the 50-percent support threshold necessary to win the presidency. In Brazil, a candidate must receive over 50 percent of votes to win the presidency in the first round. If no candidate hits the 50-percent mark, the top two vote-getters move on to second election in which they must court supporters of less popular candidates. Lula received about 48 percent of the national vote on … [Read more...] about China Predicts a ‘January 6’ in Brazil over Jair Bolsonaro Outperforming Polls

National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Chairman Rick Scott (R-FL) said in a statement Tuesday that Democrats will lie, cheat, and smear because Georgia Senate Republican candidate Herschel Walker is winning.
