‘Chega’ (‘Enough’) is Portugal’s answer to the Globalist policies that are destroying their country.

Six years after it was founded, a rightwing party is poised to rise to power in today’s presidential election in Portugal.

No less than 11 candidates are involved in the election, making it likely that the two top candidates will have to compete to compete in a runoff ballot next month in the likely event that no one gets over 50% of the vote.

Associated Press reported:

“Almost 11 million people are eligible to vote in the election, with most results expected late in the day. The winner will replace President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, who has served the limit of two five-year terms.

Among the front-runners, according to recent opinion polls, are André Ventura, the leader of the populist Chega (Enough) party. Chega’s surge in public support made it the second-largest party in Portugal’s parliament last year.”

Unsurprisingly, one of Ventura’s main targets has been unchecked mass immigration.

‘Portugal is ours’, he says.

“During the election campaign, Ventura put up billboards across the country saying, ‘This isn’t Bangladesh’ and ‘Immigrants shouldn’t be allowed to live on welfare’.”

UPDATE: While the Socialist candidate did get the first place, Ventura is still favorite. See the results:

Seguro (Socialist Party | Center-Left) – 30%

Ventura (Chega | Right) – 26.75%

Marques Mendes (PSD | Center-right): 14.26%

Cotrim (Liberal Initiative | Center-right): 12.36%

As we can see, Ventura came less than four points behind Seguro, but there are other two rightwing candidates with a combined vote total of almost 27% – and it’s widely expected that Chega will inherit most of these.

Four suspected MS-13 gang members are facing murder charges in Maryland after killing a 14-year-old boy from Washington, DC.

The corpse of Jefferson Amaya-Ayala was discovered with multiple injuries in what the medical examiner ruled as a homicide on November 3, 2025, at Indian Creek Stream Valley Park in College Park, Maryland, months after he was last seen in Washington, DC, on August 2, 2025.

The Prince George’s County Police Department said in a press release on Saturday that they believe Ayala was lured to the park and murdered on August 2.

Per ABC 7, “Investigators disclosed that Amaya-Ayala knew at least one of the suspects, and 7News confirmed through a source that the crime is linked to the MS-13 gang.”

Police identified the suspects as 18-year-old Jose Merlos-Majano, 21-year-old Alan Josai Garcia-Padilla, and 19-year-old William Cuellar Gutierrez.

A fourth suspect from Hyattsville, Maryland, remains unidentified due to his age.

“All four suspects are in custody and charged with the murder of 14-year-old Jefferson Amaya-Ayala of Washington, DC,” the release states.

Merlos-Majano is in custody in the District, awaiting extradition to Prince George’s County, and Garcia-Padilla is in Alexandria, Virginia, also pending extradition, police say. The other two are in Prince George’s County custody.

It is unclear whether or not the suspects are in the United States legally.

Meanwhile, Maryland Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen, who also ignored the death of Rachel Morin, a Maryland mother, who was horrifically raped and murdered in 2023 by a Salvadoran illegal alien, claimed this morning on ABC’s This Week that most of the illegal aliens ICE has arrested “posed no public threat whatsoever.”

Senator Ted Cruz was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to talk about the Iranian people’s fight for freedom against the Islamic regime that has ruled their country since 1979.

“Let’s start with Iran, where dissent right now is being punished. I want to get your take on what President Trump should do regarding Iran?” Bartiromo asked.

“I have to say, we are living in extraordinary times. The change that is occurring across the globe exceeds anything we have seen in decades,” Cruz said.

Senator Cruz was optimistic that in the coming months that there would be a possibility that the regimes in Iran, Venezuela and Cuba would crumble.

“There is a very real possibility, that in the next six months the regimes in Iran, in Venezuela, and Cuba will all fall,” Cruz said.

“There is a real chance in the next six months that the people of those three countries will elect leaders who embrace freedom, and free enterprise, and that want to stand with America,” Cruz continued.

“You have to go back to the fall of the Berlin wall and to America winning the Cold War without firing a shot, to find a time as pivotal as where we are right now,” Cruz explained.

Senator Cruz explained that Iran was responsible for the majority of funding when it came to global terrorism which included Hamas and Hezbollah.

“Iran for 50 years has been the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism. They have paid for and funded 90 percent of the funding of Hamas comes from Iran. 90 percent of the funding for Hezbollah comes from Iran,” Cruz warned.

“Iran funds terrorists all across the globe including sending terrorists to among other places, Venezuela, and targeting Americans,” Cruz continued.

“Right now, there are over a million Iranians that are showing unbelievable courage, standing up against this tyrannical regime, and I got to say President Trump I think has been very strong in telling the regime number one, we stand with the people, do not target, do not murder the protesters, telling the protesters, America stands with you,” Cruz said.

“A really important step occurred where President Trump came out unequivocally and said it is time for new leadership in Iran,” Cruz continued.

“Would you endorse that? That the US goes in and takes action?” Bartiromo asked.

“I think the US should be taking every step possible to end this regime. The Ayatollah Khamenei hates America. He regularly leads massive mobs chanting ‘death to America,’” Cruz explained.

A group of US Senators traveled to Denmark in a CODEL to stand with our European partners over President Trump in his goal to purchase Greenland.

President Trump has said since early in his second historic term as US President that he wants to purchase the strategic land mass of Greenland from Denmark.

The Europeans are very upset about this proposal even though they have done nothing to develop Greenland.

Is it true that Tillis and Murkowski are in Denmark shilling with Dems on a CODEL there to say they stand with Denmark not our President?

So this weekend several US Senators and members of Congress traveled to Denmark to show their support. They made this public display to embarrass the US President and his goals to secure America.

Two Republicans decided to join the Democrats in their public opposition to President Trump. Sen. Thom Tillis, the weasel from North Carolina who is retiring after this year, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski who is at heart a Democrat so that is no surprise.

Just two weeks ago Thom Tillis said he would block Fed nominations after President Trump’s administration launched an investigation into FED Chair Jerome Powell for his excess spending project restoring the FED building in DC.

Thom Tillis is letting the REAL Thom Tillis out of its cage now that he is retiring from the Senate.

Lisa Murkowski is just vile.

Don Lemon live streamed as anti-ICE protestors stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday.

The former CNN host on Saturday announced he was going to Minnesota to report on the ICE operations.

“I’ve seen enough. I’m heading to Minnesota to report on ICE and bring you the truth,” Don Lemon said in an Instagram post on Saturday.

“I’ll be live on YouTube tomorrow, tune in!” Lemon said.

On Sunday, Don Lemon livestreamed as anti-ICE protestors stormed a church in St. Paul because the pastor supposedly worked for ICE.

“This is the beginning of what’s going to happen here,” Lemon said as anti-ICE protestors shouted down the pastor and harassed parishioners.

“They’ve stopped the service — a lot of people, a number of people have left,” Lemon said.

Don Lemon actually claimed that the protestors who interrupted a church service to harass Christians in a place of worship if protected by the First Amendment.

“This is what the First Amendment is about, the freedom to protest,” Don Lemon said. “I’m sure people here don’t like it, but protests are not comfortable.”

WATCH:

The Justice Department disagrees with Don Lemon’s absurd claims.

Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for the DOJ’s Civil Rights division, said the Justice Department is investigating the anti-ICE protestors.

“The Civil Rights division is investigating the potential violations of the federal FACE Act by these people desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshippers,” Harmeet Dhillon said in response to the video.
