Was wird nicht alles über „ausländische Jugendbanden“ usw berichtet, jede Zeitung ist voll.

Jetzt stellt sich also heraus: es handelt sich um 3 (!) Kinder und Jugendliche, die für das Gros der Taten verantwortlich sind. Dafür werden alle anderen in einen Topf geworfen. Bizarr.

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

Ich glaube, „Reporterin“ ist hier keine ganz zutreffende Berufsbeschreibung.
Es wird täglich nordkoreanischer.

10. Consumers Decide, Not Governments
Even if tariffs are adjusted, consumers worldwide will still choose products based on quality, price, and brand—not political pressure. For example, people prefer German cars not because of tariffs but because of trust and performance.(10/10)

9. The “Impossible Trinity”
The U.S. government wants to:
• Bring back manufacturing
• Fight inflation
• Cut government spending
But trying to do all three at once is practically impossible without major trade-offs.(9/10)

8. Global Supply Chains Can’t Be Ignored
For example, producing a microchip involves more than 9,000 companies worldwide. Simply relocating factories to the U.S. doesn’t solve anything—it increases costs, delays production, and raises prices.(8/10)

7. Manufacturing and Labor Challenges
Bringing factories back to the U.S. is easier said than done. Labor costs in the U.S. are 6–10 times higher than in countries like China or Mexico. Also, the U.S. labor force lacks the specialized skills needed for high-tech manufacturing.(7/10)

6. Targeting All Sectors Blindly
Instead of protecting key sectors (like car manufacturing), the plan imposes tariffs on nearly everything—even raw materials the U.S. doesn’t produce, like cocoa or vanilla. That doesn’t help local industries—it just raises prices for American consumers.(6/10)

5. Unrealistic Trade Expectations
Trump’s idea of “fair trade” means each country must buy as much from the U.S. as the U.S. buys from them. But this is economically impossible, especially for smaller economies.(5/10)

4. Impact on Inflation
The U.S. Federal Reserve has spent 3.5 years tackling inflation, reducing it to around 2.8%. But Trump’s tariffs are likely to reverse this progress and push inflation up again, as warned by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.(4/10)

3. Global Reactions
• China responded with a 34% tariff.
• Canada and Mexico either retaliated or threatened to.
• Europe and Japan are planning their own measures if negotiations fail.(3/10)

2. Severe and Widespread Tariffs
Analysts expected limited tariffs with negotiation periods. Instead, Trump announced far more aggressive measures, applying broad tariffs without allowing time for deals. That spooked the markets, triggering massive stock declines. (2/10)

What’s wrong with Trump’s plan?
1. Lack of Strategy
The current administration seems to have no clear political or economic strategy. It has failed to handle international conflicts or solve domestic issues like national debt.

Trump thinks out loud about third term - and MAGA fans like this: ‘If the Messiah says it, it must be in the Constitution somewhere... maybe in the secret annex that only true patriots know!

21 DOGE staffers resign, saying they won't help 'dismantle' public services Twenty-one members of the United States DOGE Service have resigned, they said in an anonymous letter, citing DOGE's ongoing work dramatically reshaping the federal government.

Even the people working at DOGE say it is a lawless nightmare for America. In fact, they know it better than anyone.

Thanks to these true public servants who won’t stand for such a dangerous betrayal of the American people.

Der offizielle X-Account des Weißen Hauses heute Abend.
Es wird praktisch stündlich irrer.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

No words left to say

Elon Musk ridiculed a blind person on X. Then a mob went to work. Musk’s unparalleled online reach on X has given him a powerful tool to attack individuals who criticize DOGE.

Es ist mir echt unbegreiflich, wie man auf X noch etwas posten kann:

Believe it or not, this is the President of the United States.

The age-old principle of every aspiring dictator: “Laws don’t apply if you claim to save the country.”

Highlighting a criminal’s homeland might drive engagement, but it solves nothing. If we care about safety, we'd address real issues—poverty, corruption, lack of education, the unchecked power of the wealthy, extremism, and hate speech. But those don’t make for easy fear-bait headlines, do they?

Some media love to highlight the nationality of foreign criminals—because, of course, that’s the real issue, not the crime itself. Then, when far-right parties rise on that same fearmongering and start controlling the media and free speech, suddenly it’s a tragedy. Who could have seen that coming?

ÖVP bietet FPÖ im Gegenzug für das Finanzministerium ein Asyl- und Migrationsministerium an Die FPÖ hatte der ÖVP ein "finales Angebot" unterbreitet und ein Ultimatum bis elf Uhr gestellt. Jetzt hat die Volkspartei einen Vorschlag gemacht, das Innenministerium aufzuteilen

Eine neue Entwicklung eine Stunde vor Ablauf des Ultimatums: Die ÖVP bietet der FPÖ im Gegenzug für das Finanzministerium ein Asyl- und Migrationsministerium an. Wir berichten live: www.derstandard.at/jetzt/livebe...

Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico taught U.S. allies a lesson: relying too much on America can backfire. Now, they’re turning to new partners, leaving the U.S. more isolated. This isn’t greatness—it’s decline

Auch bis weit in die rechte Mitte ist es eigentlich ein Konsens: Integration belohnen, Delinquenz bestrafen.

Dass Kickl und Stocker gerade die Bestintegrierten bestrafen wollen ("Staatsbürgerschaft erst ab 15 Jahren") ist das Vertrotteltste überhaupt.

Sie wollen einfach Menschen quälen.
