Emanuel Boeminghaus criticized the bureaucratic effort surrounding a wine vending machine of a 26-year-old Mosel winemaker, Max Ambrosius. Referring to a report from SWR Aktuell dated October 26, 2026, he wrote that Ambrosius had invested around 10,000 euros and applied for a permit. This was followed by over three years of new requirements, including a demand for an architectural assessment. According to Boeminghaus, Ambrosius was informed after three years that no building permit was needed. However, the sale of wine was then prohibited for reasons of youth protection, even though the machine had a technical age verification system and was located on private property. The winemaker is now selling cola, lemonade, and energy drinks from it. Boeminghaus also stated that there are already other wine vending machines along the Mosel and that some municipalities claimed to waive building applications. In his view, this demonstrates significant differences in administrative handling in Rhineland-Palatinate. He called for less bureaucracy and criticized that entrepreneurial initiative is hindered by lengthy procedures. #Bürokratie #Deutschland #Wein (translated)

How can it be that the international law created after the Holocaust today prevents the Jewish state from defending itself? The other person is Benjamin Netanyahu: He is speaking on television and mentioning the Holocaust in response to the arrest warrants issued against him by the International Criminal Court. #Naza #Gaza #Menschenrechte (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that neither the Greens nor the SPD would be deterred in Berlin from coming to power with the Left – not even by militant antisemitism or close ties to violent criminal clans. Behind this lies a master plan of the federal parties: The SPD wants to go into new elections with Manuela Schwesig as the top candidate and form a majority at the federal level together with the Left and the Greens. Therefore, the intended coalition in Berlin must not fail, Hartmann explained. At the same time, he accused the CDU of clinging to the firewall at the Deutschlandtag of the Young Union. He wrote that the party should prepare for its political end after the state elections in the spring. #Politik #Bundestagswahl #Koalition (translated)

Was it Musk or Trump? Who intervened to hinder Ukraine's satellite internet access, protecting Russian targets from Ukrainian launches? Can stop debating, it looks like the answer is both. Both are Putin sympathizers who have acted to help Russia before, and it'd probably take both to work.
