German Chancellor Admits That Welfare
State Is Running Out of Other People's Money
Posted By: Mercedes44, 8/27/2025 6:29:41 AM
The biggest, boldest lie of every welfare state is that the goods and services it is providing to its citizens are "free." Those of us with brain cells and an aversion to lying know that this is not only untrue, but also impossible. Politicians are fond of throwing taxpayer dollars around like drunk Kennedy cousins on summer break in Monte Carlo in order to make voters love them. Despite being full-throated advocates for "sustainability" when it comes to almost anything else, socialist welfare state types are committed to an economic system that simply cannot go on forever. In the immortal words of the late, great Margaret Thatcher:

Before I make my case, can we all agree that Jews are smart? Yes, we have our share of dumb, dense dolts, but when it comes to objective, empirical, irrefutable evidence of intellectual accomplishments, there is really no arguing with the smart — and often brilliant — label.
Jews number only 16 million in a world population of eight billion. Just limiting the adjectives “smart” and “brilliant” to words — as opposed to science, technology, biotechnology, medicine, et al. — consider how many Jews have won the Nobel Prize in literature, the astounding number of Jews in the fields of advertising and public relations,
President Donald Trump received an award from the U.S. Marshals Service during an Oval Office meeting on Monday.
"You continue through your policies and your efforts, with your staff, to uncuff law enforcement officers all over this nation. And I can tell you personally, that they thank you for that," US Marshals Service Director Gady Serralta said while presenting the honor. FBI Director Kash Patel is also applauding Trump for letting "good cops be cops."On August 11, President Trump declared a crime emergency in the District of Columbia and re-established federal control in the jurisdiction.

A senior administration official confirmed to Breitbart News that the alleged shooter at a Minneapolis Catholic school changed from a male name to a female name at 17 years of age and identified as a female. A document posted on social media was confirmed as authentic by the official. The document describes the name change as occurring in 2020 when the alleged shooter was a minor, and required parental sign-off on the change.
FOX News correspondent Brook Taylor reported that his mother signed off on the name change from “Robert” to “Robin.”
Russia is reportedly prepared to use its position as a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council (UNSC) to protect Iran from “snapback” sanctions, which European leaders are threatening to invoke because Iran has failed to comply with its obligations under former president Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal. Russia’s First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Dmitry Polyanski, confirmed at a press conference on Tuesday that Russia is circulating a draft proposal at the U.N. to block sanctions against Iran.
The MAGA movement has its sights set on expanding into governors’ mansions around the country.
A handful of prominent allies of President Trump are pursuing gubernatorial bids, viewing it as a way to expand the MAGA agenda beyond Washington and set themselves up for potential future bids for higher office. That means looking beyond 2028, when Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are viewed as the heavy favorites to lead the GOP presidential ticket.
That’s left some on the up-and-coming GOP bench going local.
Rep. Byron Donalds (Fla.) is running for governor in Florida, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.) is running in Tennessee, Vivek Ramaswamy is campaigning in Ohio,
President Trump has threatened to send National Guard troops into more American cities after deploying soldiers in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles this year He’s highlighted Baltimore and Chicago as cities in particular need of help fighting crime, though Monday he appeared to back off his threat to unilaterally deploy the National Guard into cities uninvited.
Baltimore has the third-highest rate of violent crime, while Chicago ranks 29th among cities with at least 500,000 residents, according to the latest FBI data.
Trump’s focus on cities in blue states — those led by Democratic governors — with Black mayors has drawn criticism from Democrats,
After more than six months in office and two weeks after ordering the National Guard into Washington D.C. to aid local police in fighting the Democrat-run city’s epidemic of violent crime, Trump’s job approval rating jumped five points, from 40 percent in July to 45 percent today. In this particular poll, that 45 percent is a record high, reaching back to when the AP first started tracking the president’s job approval in 2016. The poll also shows that a vast majority of the public agrees with Trump on a number of issues Democrats oppose him on.
The mother of the lone transgender gunman who killed two students and injured 17 others at the Annunciation Church and Catholic School on Wednesday morning was an employee at the school, police said.
While the motives of Robin Westman, 23, remain unclear, police identified the suspect’s mother as Mary Grace Westman, who spent five years working as a secretary at the Annunciation school in Minneapolis until she retired in 2021, according to a Facebook post and a blog on the church’s website.
A Democratic candidate has defeated an extremist Republican in a state senate election in Iowa, claiming that voters are “waking up” to realise Donald Trump’s party “sold the working class a bill of goods”.
Catelin Drey flipped Iowa state senate district 1, beating Christopher Prosch in a special election held on Tuesday to fill the seat of the late senator Rocky De Witt.
Prosch had aligned himself with Trump’s Maga movement, floating conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election and climate crisis. He also compared abortion access to the Holocaust.

As RedState previously reported, California Democrats are steamrolling ahead on plans to enact new redistricting maps, starting with passing a package of bills pushed for and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) this month on grounds that they were doing it For the People™. The bills greenlight a November special election, where voters will decide on whether to "temporarily" suspend the voter-approved independent redistricting commission process and allow the state to enact maps drawn by Democrat "leaders" in the state legislature, including two who reportedly are considering running in those districts, to counter mid-decade redistricting moves made by the Texas state legislature.

Trump’s Crime Crackdown After Brutal
D.C. Assault 6 replies
White House Correspondent Iris Tao publicly thanked President Donald Trump after revealing she had been robbed and pistol-whipped outside her apartment in Washington, D.C. “Mr. President, thank you so much for what you’re doing right now,” Tao said. “Thank you for now making D.C. safer for us, our families, and my baby on the way.”
Her comments come as Trump’s federal crime crackdown continues to show results. As of this month, violent crime in the nation's capital has dropped significantly following Trump’s deployment of federal resources and direct coordination with law enforcement. Repeat offenders are being prosecuted, gang activity is being dismantled, and high-crime areas are seeing a return to order.
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his administration will seek the death penalty as punishment for murders committed in the nation’s capital. Trump revealed the plans to pursue the death penalty in D.C. homicide cases during the White House Cabinet Meeting on Tuesday. If somebody kills somebody in the capital, Washington, DC, we’re going to be seeking the death penalty. And that’s a very strong preventative, and everybody that’s heard it agrees with it,” he said. “I don’t know if we’re ready for it in this country, but we… have no choice.”
Trump added that states will have to make their own decisions on the matter.

The deranged gunman who slaughtered two children and injured at least 17 others who were attending morning mass at a Catholic school in Minneapolis has been identified — as a disturbing video believed to have been posted by the shooter shows “kill Donald Trump” and “for the children” scrawled on gun magazines.
Robin Westman, who is in his early 20s, opened fire through the stained glass windows of Annunciation Catholic Church during a celebratory back-to-school Mass filled with children, around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Police are investigating whether a series of sick YouTube videos shared on an account hours before the shooting was connected to Westman, law enforcement sources told The Post.
President Donald Trump called for leftist billionaire and mega-donor George Soros and his son, Alex Soros, to be prosecuted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act due to their financial support of violent protesters in the United States. In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused Soros and “his group of psychopaths” of causing “great damage” to the United States. Trump added that his administration would not “allow these lunatics to rip apart America” any longer.
Florida’s immigration jail known as “Alligator Alcatraz” will probably be empty of detainees within days, a state official has said, indicating compliance with a judge’s order last week that the facility must close.
The Republican governor Ron DeSantis’s administration appealed the order by federal court judge Kathleen Williams that the tented detention camp in the Florida Everglades, which attracted criticism for its harsh conditions, must be dismantled within 60 days.
But in an email reported Wednesday by the Associated Press, Kevin Guthrie, executive director of the Florida department of emergency management, which operates the jail on behalf of the federal government, appeared to confirm it would be shuttered.

The Minneapolis Police Department confirmed an active shooter allegedly opened fire at a church on the south side of Minneapolis Wednesday.
Details are scarce but an army of police and paramedics arrived at Annunciation Church, 509 W. 54th Street. Sources confirmed for KARE 11's Lou Raguse that there is an active shooter situation unfolding at the church. KARE 11 has multiple crews headed to the scene and will have the latest on the situation and victims.
Britain's Royal Air Force scrambled spy planes as it joined NATO in a huge hunt for a Russian submarine suspected of threatening a US aircraft carrier off Norway.
In what defence sources are calling a 'highly unusual surge' of activity, NATO allies have deployed at least 27 specialist submarine-hunting sorties since Sunday in an urgent bid to track the vessel.
The operation, which insiders insist is not a drill, comes as the USS Gerald R. Ford - the most advanced and expensive aircraft carrier in the world, worth around £11 billion, carries out exercises with the Norwegian Navy in Arctic waters.

We need to mark this one freeze frame, this digital data point in time, as that moment leftist lunacy was fully exposed in its utter moral collapse.
We think we've seen it before in the election losses, the USAID money laundering scandal, the cheating vote counters, the Beria school of malpractice at the Justice Department, and cheering for criminals. However, this moment, this snapshot, says it all.Like a controlled demolition of an old relic of a building, the scene in a Mexican restaurant captured on video showed a piece-by-piece, trope-by-trope implosion of the leftist superstructure built on the foundation of bigotry, lunacy, and hearsay.
Fox News anchor John Roberts revealed he will be away from the news desk as he battles a severe case of malaria.
Roberts, 68, announced his diagnosis on Tuesday after viewers noticed he was not on the airwaves during his 1pm America Reports time slot.

MSNBC’s Jen Psaki wasted no time at all trying to capitalize on the horrific school shooting at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Wednesday. Police responded to the ghastly scene at the school shortly before 8:27 a.m. local time. After the dust settled, authorities revealed that two children died and 17 people were injured during the attack. Less than three hours later, Psaki, the Democratic flack-turned-de facto-Democratic flack, was doing the only thing she knows how to. “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings. prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids
One reason that many Republican voters took a shine to Donald Trump in 2016 was the way he showed no respect to the national chattering classes of the Democrat-media complex. George W. Bush was a kinder, gentler Republican -- and they compared him to Hitler. No matter which flavor of Republican was elected, the "objective" media savaged him.
We've reached the 20th anniversary of deadly Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico, which killed an estimated 1,836 Americans. But misinformation landed first. NBC and MSNBC tremendously hyped Democrat Mayor Ray Nagin's "Today" show estimate of 10,000 dead in New Orleans.
The $250 million ‘Feeding Our Future’ free food fraud in which Somali groups stole a quarter of a billion dollars while claiming to feed hundreds of thousands of children who never existed seemed like the biggest case of welfare fraud in Minnesota, but it may be just the beginning.
Somali autism fraud, partly linked to the ‘Feeding Our Future’ scam, may be even bigger and after the FBI raids of autism clinics last December, the scale of it is still being put together.
