13 Sep 2026: Germany: 3 Stories

 1.  I dragged the portable AC unit back to the basement....for storage.  I counted up the days of use....18 total....most of any year since buying it five years ago.  

2.  BILD did a survey....only 14-percent of Germans believe Merz is the right-guy for the Chancellor's job.

I would add....they didn't ask 'who' should be replacing him.  

3.  Some talk going on....Labor Minister and SPD leader Bärbel Bas is rumored to be pushed-out, and some talk revolves around the SPD refusing this idea that the CDU is supporting....meaning they would exit the coalition.  The CDU-CSU would survive in this scenario....as a minority gov't (pretty rare thing).  

This leads folks to think that some collapse will occur, and a 'new' federal election might be in the works (without Merz)....in the next six months.  Crazy talk.....if you ask me.
