Germany reaches the highest state quota since 1960 under Schwarz-Rot and is still above the level during the Corona period. According to BMF, the tax quota is at 39.4% at record level. So higher than under the traffic light or red-green. Those who want socialist policies don't need to. (translated)

An internal audit report from the Federal Employment Agency reveals significant deficiencies in several job centers, where social fraudsters often went unpunished and cases of suspicion were partially processed with considerable delays. (translated)

Stable majority for black-green-red. If anyone here hoped that something would change for the better in Germany in the near future. It will not. It has to get much worse first. And even then, there is a high probability that the country will completely drift into socialism and we will have an ultra-left government. The Greens-SPD-Left come together to 40%. (translated)

You can put Bob 13 in the president's chair and nothing will change if the STF continues to be corrupt; one politician alone cannot do anything regardless of their position, and while we fight among ourselves, the pigs of the Supreme laugh in our faces. That said, I would never vote for Flávio Bolsonaro because I think he doesn't even know what he's doing there. ⭐️ (translated)

According to the ARD Germany Trend, three quarters of Germans feel mainly confronted with stresses, while satisfaction with the federal government and its performance has fallen to historically low levels. (translated)

Flávio Bolsonaro sued me because of a question. At ICL, I asked: "Would Flávio Bolsonaro leave his daughters alone with his vice-candidate?", referring to the accusations against Alfredo Gaspar. Now, both have taken legal action against me and ICL. (translated)

My brother, I will make a confession to everyone to register this gift I receive. I remember stamping my foot at home and that the "fight" for you to get an education before entering politics was respected. It was already enough that I gave up following my academic education in a linear way. Through ups and downs, I graduated in Aeronautical Sciences, while you exemplary completed your law degree. During this period, you went to fry hamburgers in the United States, worked as a coordinator of a travel agency focused on young people going abroad, did an exchange at the Law School of the University of Coimbra, became a lawyer, a police federal clerk, and the most voted federal deputy in Brazil's history. Later, you set aside any vanity and worked to elect more parliamentarians at the expense of your own votes, even being betrayed by many of those you gave your sweat and lived through so many other experiences that helped shape who you are. Look where you've arrived and all that you have done for our country. Practically alone, with the few contacts you built throughout your education and journey, you reached places that many never imagined and caused profound changes in the Brazilian political and institutional landscape. You are the giant they want to bury alive, but they will never succeed. Back home, even exiled and far from all of us, you are and will always be a reference. The truth needs to be reaffirmed. As always, I am here for whatever you need. Count on me, Warrior. Thank you very much for everything. I miss you all! With @BolsonaroSP (translated)

During raids on Frankfurt hookah bars, barber shops, and gaming halls, 1.5 million euros in cash and eight luxury cars were seized on the night of Thursday. Investigators had previously acted against social crime in Rödermark. (translated)

The union has recognized a central point: its policies are not perceived as fair by many. Johannes Winkel expresses seemingly banalities here, which, however, have become less and less guiding for decisions in the past. There is no need for a programmatic overhaul, but rather a focus on common sense and obviousness. - Open borders and an open welfare state do not work - Hard work and effort must pay off - Transfer payments must never provide more than in the low-income bracket - Restriction to those truly in need; no scattergun approach - Fight against abuse: welfare/subsidy fraud or tax evasion (translated)

Whether parental allowance, health insurance, long-term care insurance, or income tax. All so-called "reforms" of the government have the following characteristics: > For people who work, benefits are reduced or contributions increased > For people who do not work, nothing changes This cannot go on for long. (translated)

Everyone knows that the pension at 63 was an SPD gift to well-paid industrial workers. That’s why the unions are also up in arms against the planned abolition. It concerns their core clientele. No roofer can last until 65. No academic can complete the 45 contribution years. The abolition is, when viewed in isolation, substantively correct, but it also shows the political clumsiness of the Union. You can't spend 60 billion euros every year on non-working individuals (50% of whom are foreigners) and then cut back on those who work and keep our social system running. No one understands that. It is the opposite of fair. (translated)

@CDU Greens and Left followed the expertise of ifo, DIW, and the Advisory Council, which warned against such blanket fuel discounts: expensive, not very targeted socially, and with incorrect incentives. Thank you for the election recommendation. (translated)

Good morning everyone, on September 13, there was an alleged rape of a minor in the community accommodation in Kölleda (Thuringia). Yesterday, on September 30, the Erfurt police informed about this. So no, they actually didn't inform but merely clarified that there are speculations and false claims regarding the case in social media, which one should not participate in. For over two weeks, they did not consider it necessary to inform the public about the alleged sexual offense in a community accommodation involving a minor victim. Only after it was spread online did they feel compelled to say something while also stating that no information would be released about what happened. Therefore, one should not be surprised about rumors, speculations, and subsequent false claims. This handling is typical, as looking at the press releases after entering the relevant search terms in the police reports from 2025, just over 100 reports appear. However, according to the PKS, there were actually 14,454 cases of rapes, sexual coercions, and sexual assaults in particularly serious cases last year. The public is thus informed only about a fraction of the crimes. I inquired why the public is only being informed now, after rumors have spread. I also asked whether the suspect and victim are residents of the accommodation, how old the suspect and the victim are, what nationalities they have, and if the suspect has had previous police records for similar offenses or violent crimes. If I receive a response, I will report back. Most likely, as the police report reads, they will often refer to personal rights and want to deny the answer. (translated)

Say "Thank you Lars" once. And then throw these socialists out of the parliaments in the next elections! Enough. Once and for all!👆 (translated)

madness! More than half of the citizens' money we pay to foreigners, but JU leader Johannes Winkel reveals on #Maischberger that in the future, Germans, "if they have not contributed to the social system," will also receive less than basic security. What an incredible betrayal by a party that opened the borders, enabled millions of immigrants into our social systems, and now wants to tighten the screws on the locals. Shame! (translated)

I WILL NEVER BE ALONE AGAIN! (translated)

„Unter dem Strich ist die ‚Rente mit 63‘ eine Umverteilung von unten nach oben und deswegen auch nicht sozial gerecht“, sagt Johannes Winkel (@JohWinkel, @CDU). Sie werde vor allem von „mittleren und hohen Einkommensgruppen in Anspruch genommen“. #maischberger https://t.co/pl6bN1W8F9 #Rente #SozialeGerechtigkeit #Umverteilung
