1. Friday....The European Central Bank announced that a digital Euro could make a formal rollout in 2029. I'm not saying it's a positive thing or negative thing....just that something Euro-wise will exist in the digital world.
2. Took over a year, but Frankfurt prosecutors have a case finally....over the fatal shooting of a 27-year-old man at Frankfurt's main train station back in August 2024.
Eight folks brought in and charged. Seven men, aged between 22 and 55, are accused of jointly planning and carrying out the murder.
Motive? Turkish pay-back....the victim and the accused folks.
Curious thing....this WAS inside the train station...on one of platforms.
3. Putin (of Russia) said something to the effect....'phase O' is in effect now....that the invasion of Europe is on the planning board.
It's hard to take it serious, but I would imagine a dozen officers sit in some headquarters....now working on some plan to take Europe in a 30-day operation (like that Ukraine-plan), and tanks will be key to the invasion. Where will the troop come from? Unknown.
BS? On my BS-meter....1-to-10....it's pinging a '8'. You would have to conclude the Ukraine war, and give Russia at least 25 years to rebuild.
Whether Germany is built enough to defend such an attack? Unknown.
4. Wagenknecht (boss of the BSW Party, currently at 3-percent on polls) got a invite to the Markus Lanz Show Thursday night (on ZDF). She made it apparent that she was peeved that none of the public TV folks have invited her to talk for several months.
I'll be blunt....BSW probably will never get five points or more in a national election.
5. Some hints yesterday....electrical grid costs will drop a bit in 2026.....but by the talk....I would guess they mean 3-percent at best.
6. 149 soccer ref's in Turkey dismissed....betting scandal. Going to be a problem to fill their 'shoes'.
7. If you were ever in the Army and stationed around Mannheim....you'd know the beer "Karamalz."
The company collapsed this week.....no more production.
300 folks laid-off.
Karamalz was a malt-beer.....zero-percent alcohol. From the one I've sipped....seemed more of a beer-taste for a health drink.

Never tried Karamalz
But i've seen it in german grocery stores in Indiana and Wisconsin.
Karamalz probably can be considered healthy as a non-alcoholic malt drink....has low calories and beneficial nutrients like B vitamins and minerals.
However, it contains sugar, so it is best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. It provides energy and can support physical performance (as good as water).
