Der “Economist” empfiehlt der CDU (neben mehr Reformen), die Brandmauer zur AfD zu überdenken, um eine moderatere AfD zu fördern. Und wenn Merz nicht versteht, was er falsch macht, sollte er gehen. https://t.co/pTXTgTJRUZ #CDU #AfD #Politik

Very worthwhile, profound political-psychological analysis by Ralf Schuler: Why Merkel held office for 16 years and #Merz loses power in less than 16 months. The AfD only mentions Schuler once. (translated)

What a life situation and constant threat for Jews in the German capital. He only hints at the elephant in the room, from which the threat emanates, once briefly (when it comes to the football match against the club from Neukölln). (translated)

New York on September 11: When the World Trade Center fell. Impressive images and impressive history. (translated)

PISA study 2025: Students in Germany perform worse than ever before. (translated)

Concerns about migration are therefore not only consistently the strongest indicator of whether someone supports the AfD – the correlation is also becoming stronger. A lower level of education or a lower income proved to be insignificant factors in order to... (translated)

Historic success: Rocket from Isar Aerospace successfully launches. (translated)

Among the 18 to 29-year-olds in Germany, there are now 912 women for every 1000 men, a very noticeable imbalance, primarily due to asylum immigration (Syrians, Afghans, Iraqis, Africans, etc.) since 2015. The tensions this causes can be imagined by everyone. (translated)

One day after the serious allegations against former East German politician Sven Hüber were published by "Apollo News," he resigns as deputy head of the GdP with immediate effect. But of course, he still portrays himself as a victim. What a pathetic figure. (translated)

Castro was not a hero, but a brutal dictator who has thousands of victims on his conscience. (translated)

In a recent ZEIT article about the fraudster and impostor Jason Arday, who made a career in Cambridge as the youngest black professor on the "DEI ticket," there is a sentence that is so drastically simplified and exaggerated that it becomes misleading: "... the research (translated)

Stalinism in today's Russia: How Putin rehabilitates a mass murderer (translated)

Very sad! I always enjoyed his columns! Rod Liddle, journalist and broadcaster, has died aged 66, after a short illness https://t.co/lm7Sb8j1Ub #RodLiddle #journalism #RIP #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.Therefore #theresultis:
