🚨🤣 Mediapart claims to have asked its "source" to extract from Facebook its old Messenger conversations with an account of an internet user by the name of Jordan Bardella, who made anti-Semitic remarks, but nothing authenticates that this account really belongs to Jordan Bardella. At that time, there was another account with which Jordan Bardella communicated officially. A tempest in a teapot. 🤣 In short, it's simple: tomorrow, I create an account in the name of Mélenchon and I write horrors, and I say that it's Mélenchon who said these horrors. The far-left rag completely ridicules itself.🤣 In short, since Mediapart declared war on the RN and started its fight against Jordan Bardella, whom it considers an enemy, Jordan Bardella has not budged an iota in opinion polls and remains the favorite political personality of the French. And that is the main point. The French are not fooled by the low calumnies and manipulations of the far-left. 🙃 (translated)

Life in Germany is getting more and more expensive. In September, inflation rose to over three percent. In terms of energy, the increase is even at 14.9 percent. The biggest price driver is fuel. Consumers had to pay almost 50 percent more for fuel in September compared to a year earlier. And what is the federal government doing? They are giving citizens a measly 17 cents, which doesn't even fully reach the consumer. The fuel discount, which comes into effect on October 1 after months of inaction by the Merz government, is a bad joke considering the enormous inflation! Not 17 cents, one euro would be appropriate! A price cap of 1.50 euros for fuel in Germany is urgently needed. This is possible if the CO2 price is abolished, the energy tax is halved, and the value-added tax on fuel and energy is reduced to 7 percent. (translated)

Two months ago, the left-wing lawyers' association RAV called for a ban on the AfD in an open letter. It referred to the poor AI-generated report from the equally left-leaning "Society for Freedom Rights." Some signatories work in Hessian courts or public prosecutor's offices. In my opinion, signing the call for a party ban procedure violates the "political moderation obligation" and the "duty of neutrality" of judges and prosecutors. The CDU-led Ministry of Justice in Hesse has therefore directed courts and the public prosecutor's office in Frankfurt to examine, in the respective named cases, whether there is a specific reason to consider "necessary action in terms of civil service law." The ministry wants to protect against possible bias in court proceedings related to the AfD. The outcry from the left-wing judges' association NRV is considerable. 😨 We have submitted a small inquiry on this matter (@GrobeDrFrank). We want to know not only how many signatories of the call currently work in the Hessian judiciary and at which courts or public prosecutor's offices they are active. The state government should also clarify how it assesses "regarding moderation obligation, judicial independence, and possible bias" when Hessian judges or prosecutors become active in this way. I am curious about the answers and the further course! (translated)

Did you know that more than 2 percent of the German core budget is planned for military aid to Ukraine in 2026? That's 11.5 billion euros! With this amount, for example, every kindergarten and school child in Germany could receive a warm lunch at state expense every day, and there would still be a larger sum remaining! (translated)

The Jewish community in Berlin-Mitte expresses great concern about the rise of antisemitism and the political ambitions of the new left-wing election winner Elif Eralp, after she assured at a secret meeting that she would tackle antisemitic incidents within her party. (translated)

In Sweden, the idea of green steel is imploding. Green steel manufacturer Stegra needs billions, and the CEO is leaving. #Stegra #GreenSteel #Sweden #Industry Billion demand: Stegra is building a large plant for green steel in Boden, northern Sweden, where hydrogen and renewable electricity are supposed to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. According to Affärsvärlden, the project now requires at least another 10 billion Swedish kronor, and Henrik Henriksson is stepping down as CEO. Financing: On January 9, 2025, Henriksson stated that Stegra was fully financed. On July 22, 2025, he said the company had the necessary liquidity. Affärsvärlden is now drawing clear parallels to the failed Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt. The additional billion demand shows the financial and operational pressure one of the largest European projects for green steel is currently facing. Thank you for this important note!

Carlos Alcaraz explained that he had difficulty adapting to the outdoor conditions in Tokyo after primarily training indoors lately. 🗣️ "The ball becomes bigger and the court is much slower than indoors. It was complicated to adapt and adjust my game. I was a bit frustrated not to be able to develop my tennis, my style of play, being aggressive, because the conditions did not allow me to do so. It was quite difficult, but I am very happy to have managed to accept it, to have understood how I had to play and, obviously, to have finally managed to secure the victory." (translated)

Just read at @CDU: "This week in the cabinet decided: Harsher penalties for attacks on doctors and paramedics!" Wow. Great. Who do we thank for this madness again? And what is this supposed to achieve with our justice system? Everything is just ridiculous now. (translated)
