Brazilian Woman in the US Delivers Powerful Takedown of America’s Nanny State (Video)

*** begin quote ***

A Brazilian woman now in the US took to social media to deliver a powerful and accurate takedown of America’s nanny state that has become even more visible during the Schumer shutdown.

“The left is so funny,” she began. “Workers who don’t work, students who don’t study, educators who don’t educate, and politicians who cannot lead, so they buy votes instead. But somehow they figured it out.”

“They create dependence and call it compassion.”

“They create victims and call it justice, create laziness and call it equality.”

*** and ***

“Now, I’m going to say something that is controversial, but shouldn’t be. I don’t think these people should vote, honestly. How can you vote freely when you’re being bought?”

“Welfare was supposed to be temporary help, but it’s become a lifestyle.”

“Worse than that, it’s become a political strategy.”

*** end quote ***

I’m impressed that this unnamed “Brazilian woman” can so aptly describe our “welfare” problem.

I’d be more impressed if she was identified.  Perhaps she’s an illegal and on the dole she complains about.  How would we know she’s not.

Part of being a “cynical skeptic” is to doubt EVERYTHING.  Even if it’s taking “your side”.  Perhaps, then is when we should be the strictist when exmining the “evidence” we like..

Argh!

But, regardless, the USA has a problem with the “Welfare / Warfare” state that we can’t afford.

WHOA! DOGE Makes Three Major Findings Regarding Unemployment Benefits Fraud, Including One Discovery That Left Elon Musk Shocked: “So Crazy I Had to Read It Several Times”

by Cullen Linebarger Apr. 10, 2025 9:30 am

*** begin quote ***

An initial survey of Unemployment Insurance claims since 2020 revealed the following:

– 24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in benefits

– 28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254M in benefits

– 9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69M in benefits

In one case, someone with a birthday in 2154 claimed $41k.

*** end quote ***

Time to end that program.

Or at least reduce eligibility.  Why should “everyone” be eligible?  Maybe a “poor” person with a low paying job should get some “help”.  But that’s NOT what’s happening.

If someone filed a tax return in the past year, then they should be planning on their own.

EPIC! President Trump Releases POWERFUL Ad in Support of Secret Service Prior to Super Bowl LIX – Can You See What’s Missing?

*** begin quote ***

President Donald Trump released a powerful new ad on X Social and Truth Social in support of the US Secret Service prior to the kick off to Super Bowl LIX.

*** end quote ***

Made sense to appeal to American pride.  So far, the Secret Service has not been involved in any scandal.  Although their (DEI influenced) performance in Butler PA was not up to snuff.

All physical standards should be reviewed in every aspect of the Federal Gooferment.  No more “accommodations”.  And, I include fat old out-of-shape men; not just slightly built short women as bodyguards.

One standard for EVERYONE in a meritocracy!
