1. Just odd....Epstein stuff: Ghislaine Maxwell had a German press card from the official German 'association'. How? Unknown. Why? You could waste a whole public forum discussion discussion on the topic.
2. German Bahn (railway) spent 7-M Euro to make a new commercial....just out in past two weeks....have decided to pull the commercial. Lot of criticism building up.
3. Police in Trier got called...shopping district....some nutcase walking around with a knife in full view. Got there in minutes....tasked the guy to drop it. Guy refuses...cops shoot him (wounded). Midst of shopping zone....around 4:15 PM.
4. WELT piece....talking over problems in state of NRW....public priorities: too many aggressive beggars in public, desires for drug-free zones, and more public toilets.

How's this playing among Germans and the press?:
Alice Weidel, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and their candidate for chancellor, has pledged that within 100 days of taking power, she will close German borders, eliminate subsidies for migrants, and carry out the largest deportation operation in the country's history.
Key Points of Weidel's 100-Day Plan:
Border Closures: Weidel has stated that borders should close "without any gaps," focusing on stopping all irregular migration.
Eliminate Subsidies: The AfD plans to eliminate state financial support for migrants and replace it with, in some cases, in-kind benefits (non-cash).
Mass Deportations ("Remigration"): Weidel has embraced the term "remigration" (or Remigration), which in the AfD context is widely understood to mean the mass removal of foreigners, asylum seekers, and even some naturalized citizens.
Asylum Shift: The AfD has indicated a goal to reclassify asylum as a strictly temporary stay, aimed at returning individuals to their countries of origin as soon as possible.
First, they don't have the manpower to close the borders (gave it up in the 90s). The only way that recent taskings worked on border-closure....they deployed police in large numbers for periods of 4 to 6 months....which the cops told them...for an emergency, this can work short-term. But they'd have to recruit/train around 10k to 15k border-control folks. As for upping deportation....lot of these countries won't accept bulk situations. EU court system would hinder this as well. As for the subsidie business....it's been discussed a good bit.....probably would work, but several German states have not been totally supportive.
Key issue....AfD is stuck...even if they carried 34-percent in vote (max I can see them getting)....no one will merge with them in a coalition. You'd just end up with the CDU...partnering with Linke, SPD and Greens....to give you a seriously weak gov't. As bad as the 1920s were for the federal gov't....this scenario would be even weaker.
