Germany badly needs its own Trump on immigration. Illegal alien migrants now account for 63% of all German welfare spending because most of them don't work. Crime from illegal aliens is through the roof. 14% of people living in Germany are now illegal aliens.

The Christian Democrats are now led by Merkel's longtime rival, Friedrich Merz, who wants to crack down on illegal immigration but not as hard at the AfD wants to crack down. The ideal result for Germany would be a coalition of these two parties, both of which are running strong. Merkel has come out against Merz' immigration policies but she carries little weight in the party any more.

What is really telling, if these poll numbers hold is that each of the parties of the right will individually by iteelf win more seats than all three parties of the failed coalition combined. Immigration seems to be as big an issue in Germany's 2025 eleciton as it was in our 2024 election, and it should be.

CT: And so it seems that may be what opened the bag of worms.

It is great to see J. D. Vance standing strong for democracy and against censorship. It is disgustinig that the Biden USAID spend hundreds of millions or more of our taxpayer dollars pushing censorship.

I spoke before the commissioners years, and later months ago, and I warned them, when advocating that Beaufort County take a stand against the Democratic Socialists' Invited and Welcomed Invasion of our Southern Border, that one day the United States would be at war with Mexican Cartels, and Mexico, the nation, if they get in the way.

My knowledge of right and wrong, such as this situation begs perfect clarity, reminds me of another correct concept that I have: The Democratic Socialist Party NO LONGER has a reason or need to exist; not if one cares for the survival of this Republic, and the fates of their children.

Non Patriot Leftists, and their RINO (Republicans In Name Only) associates, will destroy this Constitutional Republic; it is proven. Accordingly, the patriotic public should never again vote for another Democratic Socialist or another proven RINO.

"Brown people flee the violence"??? Wrong. The Mexican crime cartels most profitable business in recent years has been human smuggling of illegal aliens into the US. Illegal aliens are a more profitable product for these Mexican crime cartels than drugs. A tiny percentage of illegal aliens actually come from the very northern regions of Mexico where the crime cartels dominate. Most go through there but come from other places and pay a huge toll to the crime cartels for their help. Biden's border policies have made the Mexican crime cartels rich.

Trump has declared the crime cartels as foreign terrorist organizations which frees us to use the military including Reeper drones and special forces to put them out of business. Secretary Hegseth has said he is ready to go on that when he gets the word.

The one thing we could always count on within the Biden White House of Stupid was his/their abject air of executive dishonesty.

Nothing Ly'n' Joe Bid'n' promised over his entire 4 year administration was true.

Any chance we stop supplying the drug cartels with guns? We love the drugs, but we could cut off the guns. That would slow the flow of migrants fleeing their home land.

Or is it better to profit from the drug and gun trade and express outrage at the brown people who flee the violence?

White, male, right wing nuts telling you everyone is corrupt but them speaks to an appalling lack of self awareness.

Your lack of self awareness is stunning.

Locally, our city and county govts are run with a Mafia style heavy hand.
"It would be a pity if you lost your job & then your kids werent able to attend that elite private school." The intended message is heard.

IN the City of Washington, the City Manager does all the hiring and firing...and likely knows where all the bodies are buried within the Council. Its pay to play. Paying with your personal honor is the price. Even the "good" people look the other way.

People who threw away our tax money like that ought to be prosecuted, Country Girl. But to the hard left like Little Bobbie, grift is a feature, not a glitch, in progressive "governmance".
