Because the party that needs it as life insurance (the SPD) has fallen into the abyss.
You don’t need life insurance anymore when you’re already dead.
Germany’s so-called “firewall” was designed to prevent the resurgence of antidemocratic ideology and has shaped German politics for decades. Now, mounting voter support for the far-right AfD is exposing cracks.
But it’s just a consideration for now.
Germany considers ramping up coal power to avert energy crisis – Increasing use of the dirtiest fossil fuel would likely increase the country’s CO2 emissions.
That means speed limit.
And that ain’t never gonna happen in Germany. Think banning guns in the USA.
‘Tempolimit? Nein, danke!’: why German petrolheads won’t slow down – despite the energy crisis – Driving fast is in ‘the German DNA’, say lovers of the speed-limit free Autobahn, but support in the country for a restriction is growing.
And won big time!
Fed up with train delays, Germans are betting on how late they’ll be – Deutsche Bahn’s record low punctuality has inspired jokes, T-shirts and now a mock gambling platform.
For membership in a foreign terrorist organization and related offenses?
Better than nothing.
Berlin court jails 4 men over Hamas weapon stockpiles – A court in Berlin has ruled that four men gathered and stored weapons for use in terror attacks as members of a Hamas-linked cell. Prosecutors listed potential targets in Germany, including US and Israeli sites…
Possible targets included the Israeli embassy in Berlin, the US Ramstein airbase and the area around Berlin’s disused Tempelhof airport.
Coming from a German? In Germany?
I’ve never yet heard a German say anything about Donald Trump that wasn’t a rebuke.
German president calls Iran war a disastrous mistake, in rare rebuke of Trump.
This is, by the way, the same German president who went out of his way to celebrate the Iranian revolution – “For a long time, Germany stood firmly by the Iranian regime.”
That means some are like this, some are like that.
Refugees in Germany, I mean.
Ukrainian Refugee Brutally Murdered by Syrian Boyfriend in Germany – A 19-year-old Ukrainian refugee has been brutally murdered by her 17-year-old Syrian boyfriend in Mannheim, Germany. According to media reports, the case is investigated by German authorities as a murder, with the suspect in custody.
No way. Who would have thought that?
And I thought I was a slow learner.
German Antisemitism Commissioner Leaves the Left Party Over Anti-Israel Stance, Lack of Support Amid Death Threats – Andreas Büttner, the commissioner for antisemitism in the state of Brandenburg in northeastern Germany, has resigned from the Left Party, citing a rise in antisemitism within the ranks, relentless personal attacks, and a party climate that has become intolerable.
“I struggled with this decision for a long time, as I have felt a deep connection to the party over many years,” Büttner wrote in a letter to the party leadership, as reported by German media.
“But I have reached a point where I must acknowledge that I can no longer remain a member of this party without betraying my own convictions,” he continued.
And we danced the Mississippi at an Alpha Kappa dance.
U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers Earn German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge in Poland.
And they will cherish it forever.
Because their industries are dying, or already dead.
And this is primarily due to its climate emissions targets.
Germany misses climate targets as emissions barely fall in 2025 – Greenhouse gases dropped just 0.1% last year as environment minister criticises lack of improvement.
Greenhouse gas emissions in Germany have again missed targets set by the Climate Protection Act and barely fell at all in 2025.
