Three Stories

 1.  There's a politicized rumor going on....that Sahra Wagenknecht....currently a big-name within the Linke Party (far-left) will be departing politics at the end of the current 4-year period.  The rumor also suggests that she's about to create a new political party out of thin air, and that this idea worries not only the Linke Party, but the other parties as well.

BS factor?  Within the Linke Party....Wagenknecht has peaked, but one has to admit the party itself....nationally....has peaked as well.  Presently, as one looks at 2025's election....I would have doubts the party gets the minimum required (5-percent) to remain in the Bundestag.  The only locations where they seem to get votes?  Mostly eastern Germany.

The rumor goes to suggest that she's mounting a anti-NATO angle, and a forced-peace deal on Ukraine.  

I would agree....some votes from the Linke Party, AfD, and even the Greens....might exist, and this fresh new party might get a minimum of five-percent in a national election.

2.  There's now a suggestion of putting body-cameras on Bahn (railway) employees because of attacks over the past year or two.  

3.  As this battle action around Bakhut, Ukraine continues....there's hype that around 500 Russian soldiers die on a daily basis.  If you did the numbers (figuring 3 weeks of action so far)....it'd be well over 10,000 Russians dead.  Course, it's a number that you can't really trust.  Would Putin even be briefed on the numbers?  I doubt it.
