N
ews from Germany: The far-right political party AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) was put under surveillance by the German government’s domestic-intelligence service as a possible threat to the state. The party’s legally independent youth wing already was under such surveillance. AfD has challenged the matter in court and the surveillance has been delayed, but the government intends to pursue its case, which ultimately could result in the party’s being disbanded under German law.

This may strike Americans as heavy-handed. We do not ban political parties here. In much of Europe, they do.

    However, if you’re doing well, the Golf course still open and the mall still operating then the only worry you MIGHT consider is how about the mental health of kids locked out of school for a year, or the shut-ins in Nursing homes or Extended care who can’t even see Family are doing? meanwhile, the Dims are passing TRILLIONS of $$$ of PORK to guarantee they will be the only party to ever get a vote again. As of today, our National debt is 28, TRILLION; Interest on that debt is 395 Billion. Real Un-Employment is 17 Million. My Grand Children’s share of this debt is 64,125.00 and the youngest has not yet received her first Doll House!
