[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

Incentives explain outcomes.

Milton Friedman observed that you cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state.

America’s earlier waves of immigration succeeded so well because, prior to 1914, the country maintained open borders without a welfare system.

Immigrants arrived to work, support themselves and their families, and build new lives.
Those who couldn’t succeed typically returned home.

This environment naturally selected for self-reliant individuals and fueled tremendous economic growth.

In contrast, today’s expansive welfare state, offering healthcare, education, housing assistance, and cash transfers, fundamentally alters the incentives.

When immigrants, whether legal or illegal, can immediately access these benefits, it becomes possible for some to arrive and function as net fiscal drains rather than contributors.

Friedman therefore opposed the unsustainable pairing of open borders with generous entitlements.

So it’s not paradoxical why one would support pre-1914 immigration but oppose its later version.
They are very different phenomena.

Either can work on its own, but together they generate higher taxes, social friction, and long-term strain.

[Taya Bass @travelingflying]

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.

Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.

Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

Democrats unanimously blocked a Senate investigation into Tim Walz over the fraud.

Democrats unanimously blocked a Senate investigation into Keith Ellison over the fraud.

Democrats unanimously blocked a subpoena into Ilhan Omar over the fraud.

Do you see the trend yet?

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

Tim Walz and the Democrat trifecta spent an $18 billion surplus, raised taxes by $10 billion and enabled a culture of fraud that stole billions more. Amy Klobuchar endorsed Walz for vice president and then she endorsed him again for a third term as governor. Minnesotans are ready for real change. Klobuchar is just more of the same.

[Republican Party of Minnesota @mngop]

ST. PAUL, MN — Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Alex Plechash released the following statement in response to Senator Amy Klobuchar’s government reform and fraud proposal:

“Amy Klobuchar’s plan is not innovation. It is an admission of failure.

“For years, Minnesota Democrats controlled state government while fraud exploded, costs went up, agencies failed, permits got delayed, IT systems aged, small businesses got buried in red tape, and taxpayers were told to keep paying more for less.

“Now Senator Klobuchar wants to show up with a glossy plan promising mobile apps, real-time tracking, better technology, fraud prevention, permitting reform, broadband, housing reform, business portals, audits, deadlines, and accountability.

“The obvious question is: where has she been?
“This plan reads like an indictment of Democrat governance in Minnesota. If state government is too slow, too outdated, too expensive, too vulnerable to fraud, too hostile to small businesses, too difficult to navigate, and too broken to serve taxpayers, then Amy Klobuchar should say who broke it.

“The answer is simple: Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, Amy Klobuchar’s DFL allies, and the one-party Democrat machine that ran Minnesota into the ground.

“For years, Republicans have called for stronger anti-fraud enforcement, front-end verification, agency accountability, repayment of stolen taxpayer dollars, tougher penalties, inspector general authority, permitting reform, lower costs, and a government that works for taxpayers instead of insiders.

“Democrats resisted, delayed, watered down, or ignored those reforms.

“Now that fraud and incompetence have become politically toxic, Senator Klobuchar is trying to repackage Republican ideas as her own campaign platform. That is not leadership. That is damage control.

“Even worse, her plan pretends fraud happened because Minnesota lacked buzzwords. It did not. Fraud happened because Democrats built a culture of no accountability. Fraudsters got rich. Bureaucrats kept their jobs. Political leaders made excuses. Taxpayers got stuck with the bill.
“Klobuchar says she wants to modernize government. Fine. But Minnesota does not need another listening tour, another innovation initiative, another portal, another network, another working group, or another campaign-tested slogan.

“Minnesota needs people fired.
“Minnesota needs stolen money recovered.
“Minnesota needs fraudsters banned from taxpayer-funded programs.
“Minnesota needs bureaucrats held accountable when they fail to protect public dollars.
“Minnesota needs agencies that stop suspicious payments before the money disappears.
“Minnesota needs permits approved on time.
“Minnesota needs tab fees lowered.
“Minnesota needs small businesses freed from Democrat red tape.
“Minnesota needs parents empowered, girls’ sports protected, and taxpayers respected.

“And Minnesota needs leaders who were willing to fight for those things before it became politically convenient.

“Amy Klobuchar had a United States Senate seat, a national platform, and years to speak up while federal taxpayer dollars were being stolen through Minnesota programs. She said little to nothing when it mattered. Now that she wants a new political job, she suddenly has a fraud plan.

“That is the story of Amy Klobuchar’s career: scripted outrage after the damage is done, carefully worded plans when the cameras are on, and no real accountability for the Democrats who caused the problem.

“If Senator Klobuchar is serious, she should start with three simple admissions:
“First, Tim Walz and Minnesota Democrats failed taxpayers.

“Second, Republican anti-fraud reforms should have been passed years ago.

“Third, no one who oversaw these failures should be promoted, protected, or recycled into the next Democrat administration.

“Until she says that, this is not a reform plan. It is a political cover-up dressed up as innovation.

“Minnesotans do not need Amy Klobuchar to track government failure on a phone. They need Republicans to end it.”

Having been called a liar by Anthony Fauci for saying that "not one of the 72 vaccines mandated for children has ever been safety tested", RFK Jr. sued Fauci.

After a year of stonewalling, Fauci's lawyers admitted that RFK Jr. had been right all along.

"There's no downstream liability, there's no front-end safety testing... and there's no marketing and advertising costs, because the federal government is ordering 78 million school kids to take that vaccine every year."

"What better product could you have? And so there was a gold rush to add all these new vaccines to the schedule... because if you get onto that schedule, it's a billion dollars a year for your company."

"So we got all of these new vaccines, 72 shots, 16 vaccines... And that year, 1989, we saw an explosion in chronic disease in American children... ADHD, sleep disorders, language delays, ASD, autism, Tourette's syndrome, ticks, narcolepsy."

"Autism went from one in 10,000 in my generation... to one in every 34 kids today."

WOAH 🚨 The taxpayer money laundering must be INSANE

“The Federal Reserve has revealed that US NGOs have more in assets than the combined 2025 GDP estimates for Japan, Germany and India combined — The combined assets held by US NGOs equals $14.2 trillion of your tax money”

“India and Japan's GDP each just over $4 trillion, Germany $5 trillion, about $13.5 trillion together. Guess what? The combined assets held by US NGOs equals $14.2 trillion of your tax money and that of your children and grandchildren and great-great-great-great-great grandchildren.

Ever wonder why everything is so absolutely unaffordable today? It's not actually rocket science. Government has forgotten the fundamental reasons for which it was formed to serve and protect our civil liberties.

It has inverted the entire formula and decided that we are the ones here to serve, to work, and through our individual labors to support their desires and the behemoth of a bureaucracy that has emanated from those desires.”

As of 2025, United States nonprofits held about $13.4–14.1 trillion in total assets. Including cash, investments, real estate, etc

It has grown from $7 trillion a decade ago

This is based on Federal Reserve data
