The State of the Republican Party in the 21st Century

Between Performative Politics and “Partisan Terrorism”

As I heard surprisingly positive remarks about Biden's SOTU speech, I gave it a listen and must say that given the circumstances in which he now has to legislate in accompaniment of a crucially divided Congress, it was a solid speech and some solid proposals, although I agree with the Libertarians who are concerned about the protectionist measurements for foreign policy and trade policies¹. What one needs to understand, of course, are two things:

“Open your eyes, you fools!”

Jeffrey Epstein's ghost breaks into public impeachment hearing, exclaims that he didn't commit suicide but was murdered in a hidden Clinton operation

Stupefying everyone in the room, out of the sudden, the ghost of late financier and multiple sexual offender Jeffrey Epstein breaks into the open-door hearing during former ambassador to Ukraine Maria Yovanovitch's testimony on Trump's foreign interference with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate into Democratic contestant Joe Biden to explain that he in fact didn't commit suicide but was a victim of a top-secret Clinton contract assassination to not get them into any hot water.

“He's got no sense of shame”

Rudy Giuliani spoke to German chancellor Angela Merkel pressing Deutsche Bank to withhold crucial documents about Trump's tax evasion

Shortly after it has been revealed that Trump met with Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison to support his Attorney General William Barr with Special Counsel Robert Mueller III.'s inquiry, the bad news don't seem to stop: The New York Times, through sources close to German long-time chancellor Angela Merkel who would like to stay anonymous due to probable threats of retaliation, was able to report that Trump's personal lawyer and former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani demanded support from the German government to press the Deutsche Bank to withhold critical documents suspected to prove the President's tax evasion. The President is currently being investigated for foreign interference with Ukraine's recently elected president Volodymyr Zelensky to dig up dirt on Democratic presidential hopeful and former Vice President Joseph Biden.

During U. N. Climate Action Summit:

Trump suddenly alters own summit's topic from “Religious Freedom” to “Freedom to be Christian”

After having attended the main Climate Action Summit for ten minutes, hosted by the United Nations (UN), Trump departed to host his own summit concerning a similarly staggering subject of the 21st century: Religious freedom. Yet suddenly, as it was told to us from our pool reporters, Trump has altered his summit's main topic to “Freedom to be Christian.” So far, we couldn't reach out to the president for comment on his unexpected correction.

“America needs to be protected from these animous Socialists”

In stunning turn, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R - KY) declares to bar any Democrats-led House of Representatives from turning in bills

In a yet unprecedented turn, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R - KY) declared the House of Representatives, currently ruled by a majority of Democrats, to be “dangerously anti-American,” thus disqualified from handing in any bills until they changed their course from “full-bore Socialist” to moderately left-winged. This move comes in a row of bills having been interrupted from entering the Senate to be up for vote, having gained the Kentucky Republican the moniker “grim reaper,” rewarded to him by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D - CA). 

Die Mär von der Meinungsfreiheit

Warum das Recht auf freie Meinungsäußerung im 21 Jahrhundert ein Drahtseilakt ist

Der Kleinkünstler Marc-Uwe Kling schrieb in seinen Känguru-Chroniken die folgenden Worte: «Ihr habt da was falsch verstanden, zu meinem Verdruss: Meinungsfreiheit heißt, dass man seine Meinung kundtun darf. Nicht, dass man es muss.» Und Recht hatte er! In Zeiten des Internets hat nahezu jeder die Möglichkeit, seine Meinung zu nahezu allen Themen ungefiltert in die Welt hinauszuschicken. Besonders das jeder bereitet aber umso mehr Probleme, denen man sich nur mit Samthandschuhen annähern kann. 

Nur das Beste für das Kind

Warum härter gegen Impfgegner vorgegangen werden muss

Es ist ein Bericht, wie man ihn im 21. Jahrhundert nicht mehr erwartet hätte: Die Masern sind wieder im Aufbruch, in manchen Ländern nahmen die Fälle epidemisch zu, auf den Philippinen haben sie gar bis zu 70 Menschen dahingerafft. In Oregon, in den USA, muss ein Ehepaar nun mehr als 80.000 Dollar zahlen für eine Notbehandlung ihres Kindes, nachdem es fast an Masern verstorben ist. Geimpft war das Kind nicht, und so musste es mehrere Tage lang behandelt werden. Wie in Berichten hervorgehoben wurde, hätte eine Impfung nur knapp bis zu 30 Dollar gekostet. Warum lassen es Eltern also so weit kommen, dass ihre Kinder an verhinderbaren Erkrankungen sterben? Das ist wohl die große Preisfrage.
