The idea that we shouldn’t be able to consider who is most likely to be culturally compatible and economically productive in making immigration decisions is insane.

This is a 90/10 political issue and the 10% who are on the losing side are complete lunatics. https://t.co/qU7QGqtlcr

LIGHTNING DEAL: Electric Compressed Air Duster. #CommissionEarned

KAPUT: ‘Almost every German city is now on the verge of bankruptcy.’

Mayor Kufen stressed that the crisis is universal, affecting municipalities regardless of their location: “What’s new is that all cities have their backs against the wall,” he told Bild newspaper.

He warned that “budget freezes would now have to be imposed everywhere,” including in many cities previously considered wealthy.

Kufen emphasized the need for a national discussion on affordability: “We have to talk about what we can do so that our welfare state itself does not become a social case. This means: What do we want to afford and what else can we afford?”

However, he noted that cities cannot make these crucial decisions themselves; only the federal government can

Kufen illustrated the crisis with figures from his own city, Essen, which has a population of nearly 600,000. The city had planned a balanced budget for 2025. “But instead of a slight increase of €1.7 million, we currently have a deficit of €123 million,” he calculated.

Once again, refugee accommodation and integration are near the top of the list for reasons why the city is seeing a budget shortfall. Far from being a solution to Germany’s budget and pension crisis, they have become a massive financial burden for the country, costing at least €50 billion a year in social integration, housing, and benefits.

Send them home.

I REMEMBER WHEN MINNESOTA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A MODEL OF GOOD, HONEST GOVERNMENT.

Reminder Keith Ellison met with the culprits behind the $240 million Feeding our Future MN fraud scheme before they were charged and then he and his son took donations from them amid promises to deter the investigation.

MASS MIGRATION IS IN FACT A WEAPON DEPLOYED BY THE REMAINING MARXISTS AGAINST THE WEST:  It was announced today that the United States has a general policy to discourage mass migration to the West from the Third World. Secretary Rubio released this policy, and Jim Ferguson in the UK has some excellent analysis. Finally!

They can’t face the west in the field of war. Not even Europe, much less the US. So they deploy mass movements of  people with promises of spoils. That and disinformation is all they have left. Wickedly effective while the West chose to deafen itself to reason. But I think the times they are achanging.
