Dial Wassim Al M. for Murder

Or attempted murder, at least.

Why won’t he tell us the rest of the letters in his name?

Syrian man charged with attempted murder in Berlin Holocaust Memorial stabbing – Germany’s top prosecutor has filed charges against a Syrian man in connection with a stabbing attack at Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial in February that seriously wounded a Spanish tourist.

The suspect sought to use the alleged crime to join the militant Islamic State group, the federal prosecutor said. The charges were filed July 18 and announced Tuesday.

The man, who was only identified as Wassim Al M. in line with German privacy rules, allegedly sent a photo of himself to members of the group before the stabbing to give the militants the opportunity to claim responsibility for the crime, authorities said.

German of the day: Klima-Disinformation

That means climate disinformation.

The consequences of green climate disinformation – Whether it’s heat, drought or global warming, the loudest warnings about climate change are preventing effective solutions…

The EU had proposed being able to buy three percent of its CO₂ reduction outside the continent from 2036, for example by planting forests in Africa… Green lobbyists, on the other hand, want all of this money to be spent on climate protection in this country (Germany). The case is exemplary: those who are particularly vehement in their warnings about climate change are opposed to pragmatic solutions.

How Germans handle the weather?

Just like everybody else does.

They moan about it being too hot, too cold, too wet or too dry for the season and blame it on the “Climate Crisis.”

How Germany manages extreme heat and climate change – The next heat wave has been forecast in Germany. How is a country known for its lack of air conditioning preparing?

This summer has seen some hot days in Germany. Very hot. In early July, temperatures in Hamburg and Cologne soared to 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 F). Some areas recorded temperatures close to 40 C.

In earlier years, such temperatures were not typically recorded until early August — a development that experts attribute to climate change. On radio, television and social media, people were urged to stay at home, especially during the middle of the day.

By the end of the year?

By the end of which year?

They’ve already had over ten years to do it (thanks again, Angie).

Germany to tighten people-smuggling law as chancellor visits UK – Germany is set to tighten its laws to crack down on gangs smuggling migrants to the UK by the end of the year, Downing Street has said.

The announcement comes alongside a new agreement between the UK and Germany covering areas including migration, business and defence, which will be signed during Friedrich Merz’s first official visit to the UK as German chancellor on Thursday.

Bringing in the harvest?

German kids? Today?

They won’t even take out the garbage.

Germany’s 16 states locked in row over dates of school summer holidays – Two southern states cling to past ruling that children are needed for harvest and claim the latest, most favoured slot.

Germany’s 16 states are locked in a fierce row over when they are able to take their summer school holidays, with the southernmost two accused of permanently hogging the best slots on the grounds that their children are required to help bring in the harvest.

Germans still pretending they don’t need nuclear power…

But it’s not as convincing as it used to be.

German government shows cracks over nuclear energy – The economy minister attended a meeting of EU states using nuclear energy, even though Germany shut down its last reactor in 2023. The environment minister was quick to insist Germany will stick to its nuclear phaseout.

“There are no further commitments [to the nuclear industry], nor will there be any.”

And how do the majority of Israelis feel about Germany?

Something tells me it will be a negative too.

Majority of Germans now hold negative view of Israel : Survey – Israel’s military actions in Gaza and regional aggression have dramatically shifted public opinion: 57% now hold a negative view of the country, while 37% consider Israel a major threat to world peace.

Rewarded for failure(s)

If you were catastrophically inept at your last job, it’s time for you to get a promotion.

Everybody’s doing it. See Ursula von der Leyen who got promoted to President of the European Union after bungling her job as German Defense Minister – and two or three other jobs before that.

Germany’s Baerbock elected as UN General Assembly head – Former Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was voted in as president of the UN General Assembly. Meanwhile, Germany’s tough migration policy has been dealt a setback in court.

And in two months it will be a rained out summer

It’s the never-ending cycle of “climate crisis” hysteria.

Not enough rain: How can Germany cope with drought?

This spring was one of the driest on record in Germany. Agriculture, groundwater, and even retail prices are suffering. Plants and ecosystems are already in drought stress. What can be done?
