It’s (not) the economy, dummkopf!
The far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), an anti-immigrant party deemed “extremist” by Germany’s own intelligence services, is currently polling at around 42% – nearly double the share of the second-place Christian Democrats (CDU), and putting the AfD on the brink of an outright parliamentary majority. The vote is potentially historic. An AfD victory would not only breach the Brandmauer, or firewall, that Germany’s other parties have erected to keep it from power since its creation in 2013.

Exposing A Culture That Has Renamed Evil As ‘Mercy’
What we discuss today should make you very upset. The Lindsay Clancy trial is not about whether or not a murderer is on trial. It’s a trial on “mental health,” something entirely different and completely divorced from reality. Let’s begin with an important fact: There aren’t versions of the truth—”your truth” vs “my truth”—there is just the truth. Videos across Social media are showing women holding plastic baby dolls, making light of casually harming their own children—moms tossing their fake babies over banisters, bashing their heads into doorposts, and putting them in dryers and dishwashers. The caption of one of the videos depicting the harming of infants reads: “postpartum depression got me like…” I have never experienced postpartum, and I won’t pretend to understand it. But one thing I know for sure is that no man would celebrate, make light of, or make excuses for another man murdering his own children. And yet hundreds of women lined the streets, cheering and wearing pink, as Clancy came into court for the trial
