4 Jan 2025: Five German News Storie

1.  CDU candidate for Chancellor (Merz) said in an interview yesterday.....if you were a migrant who'd gotten German citizenship, and did some 'bad-boy' stuff of such-and-such degree....then Germany should  be able to take away your German citizenship (thus sending you 'home').  

How this would work or the severity of your 'stupidity'?  Unknown.  I also doubt that your home-country would take you back.

2.  WELT article: One in 3 Europeans will suffer in an average year....from depression.

3.  There will be a Twitter/X 'talk' between Elon Musk and Alice Weidel (of the AfD Party) on the 9th of January.

If you were asking me how many Germans will view it?  Fewer than 1-million (I'd guess)....how many Americans?  Probably double that number.  

I hate to say it....but all that hype from ZDF/ARD (the public TV folks) from back 3 months prior to the Harris-Trump election....is coming back around to engage on the German election.    

4.  Why is Baerbock (the FM of Germany) in Damascus?

Mostly to re-kindle relations (sour with Assad for over a decade).

5  Some 'nut-case' at the Frankfurt Hauptwache subway station....pushed a mid-30s woman onto the track (minor injuries) on Thursday.  No motive given.
