Leadership without principles, on full display.

Public health can’t progress if expertise is dismissed as conspiracy. That erodes trust, weakens preparedness, and worsens outcomes for everyone.

Perhaps the very act of rewinding shows that there can never be a true ‘end,’ only recurring patterns.

Schutz ja, aber auch Begleitung. Kinder brauchen Medienkompetenz statt nur Verbote. Eltern sollten mitreden, erklären, Grenzen setzen und selbst Vorbild sein, statt ständig am Handy zu hängen.

If you reduce homelessness to ‘crazy people on the street,’ you erase the real causes: poverty, lack of housing, and inadequate care. Talking about ‘our streets’ isn’t a solution it’s just scapegoating instead of addressing the problem.

Maybe, but let’s make sure this left-wing jetliner doesn’t just fly like an eagle it better have a real flight plan. No more running off with the money or vanishing in a cloud of abracadabra. We need a Steve Miller with a policy manual.

Na klar, am besten in einem Rutsch, damit der Schock nicht nachlässt

No-the question isn’t whether he’s evil; it’s how cold and irresponsible his response is to legitimate concerns. Texas deserves answers, not gaslighting.

An interesting detail. If Iranian officials were internally surprised that the strikes caused less damage than expected, it suggests two things: the attacks were either limited or ineffective and the nuclear program is more resilient than many assumed. Strategically significant for all sides.

Trump calls the attack on Iran “tremendous victories” as if it were a golf tournament. Foreign policy isn’t reality TV, and war isn’t a PR stunt.

Trump provokes with identity attacks:
He undermines Jewish identity, demeans women and trans people, and deliberately divides society. His extreme rhetoric follows a populist strategy: attention through calculated outrage. Whether this is still “normal” is debatable but it’s troubling for democracy.

Hürmüz Boğazı jeopolitik bir silah! İran için stratejik bir koz.Dünya petrolünün %20’si buradan geçiyor.Bir kriz anında kapatılması, küresel enerji krizine ve savaşa neden olabilir.
İran-İsrail gerilimi artarsa, savaş sadece füze ve uçaklarla değil, tankerlerle ve fiyat grafiklerinde de yaşanır.

Sure, getting rid of human rights does save on paperwork. Why not use North Korea as a transit hub while we’re at it?

Exactly! Europe urgently needs the political courage to offer clear, bold solutions to its biggest challenges. Only then can we effectively counter right-wing extremism and build a truly united, fair future.

There are still some ‘calm heads’ in this administration like JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and RFK Jr. What could possibly go wrong?

Yes, exactly! That has a lot of meta-humor a seemingly harmless autocorrect that suddenly acts like a political gatekeeper: ‘No, you must mean Frodo, not Fordo – no criticism of real people allowed!’ 😄

Eine US-Beteiligung am Krieg zwischen Israel und dem Iran hätte enorme geopolitische Folgen Dass Trump eine Entscheidung binnen zwei Wochen in Aussicht stellt, zeigt,wie ernst die Lage ist aber auch, wie sehr innenpolitische Kalküle mitspielen. Eine Eskalation wäre für die gesamte Region verheerend.

To call it theater of the absurd would be generous. This is improvisation without a script and on an issue as serious as Iran. ‘In two weeks-ish’ is downright irresponsible.

So the Fed has two goals: tame inflation and keep that fade razor-sharp.

Man sollte Trump nicht entschuldigen, nur weil er gern überzieht. Wenn seine Aussagen wie Drohungen wirken, dann sind sie auch so zu bewerten. Wer so spricht, handelt nicht wie ein Staatsmann, sondern wie ein Brandstifter.

Fascism relies on abusing or ignoring truth as a tool. Asking “Is this true?” first fundamentally separates you from those who put power over facts. That’s what real political resistance looks like today.

The current Israel-Gaza war is going better than expected for Israel, but a larger conflict (e.g. with Hezbollah or Iran) would likely require U.S. military support. That support is politically sensitive, especially due to the upcoming U.S. elections and growing criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza

Trump’s Middle East strategy was heavily focused on Iran through sanctions, withdrawal from the nuclear deal, and strengthening Israel and the Gulf states. Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon were mainly tools to contain Iranian influence.

Zivile Opfer in Israel sind schrecklich und durch nichts zu rechtfertigen. Doch Symbolpolitik wie „Feuerbekämpfungsmaterial“ reicht nicht.Statt nur Sicherheit in Deutschland. braucht es echte Diplomatie auch im Interesse der iranischen Bevölkerung,die unter Repression und Kriegspolitik leidet.
