Vehicular Jihad in Germany, and Germans Vow to Combat ‘Islamophobia’

This could be a almost a headline of the day! 

The sometimes split personality of the German mind after 1945! Just kidding!

Yes, too many Germans are tree huggers and wrong headed, unrealistic do gooders!

Caution: This is a satire!

Caveat: I did not read the article. It appears to be too politicized and tendentious. Also, I am familiar with some of the the author's other works.

Melania Trump partners with Putin the Terrible to lead humanitarian effort in war-torn region

What! Maybe the First Lady from Slovenia can scratch out the eyes of Putin the Terrible (not literally, purely metaphorically speaking)! 😊

Trump receives grandfather’s 1869 German birth certificate from Merz in Oval Office meeting

That was a nice gift! "[Merz], I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship" (Casablanca movie with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman) Caution: satire!

'Dark patterns': Shein accused of manipulating shoppers in Eurpope

No wonder! Schein in German means appearance or trickery! Or the German expression "Mehr Schein als sein!" (More show than substance). Just kidding!

A Conspiracy theory: Did the US Vice President kill the Pope?

I don't think it happens very often that a U.S. Vice President visits the Pope in the Vatican. Maybe I am wrong.

J. D. Vance visited the first Jesuit and first Latin American Pope (age 88) on Easter Sunday! Within hours after the visit the Pope died! What kind of Easter egg did Vance present?

Or was it just rare and unfortunate timing/coincidence?

Caution: Satire!

English for trippers: Rape at any rate is a sour grape

Don't try to ape it! Caution: Satire!

White supremacists assassinated Malcom X and attempted to assassinate Martin Luther King Jr.

Probably few people know that a black American woman attempted to stab Martin Luther King Jr. to death.

Malcolm X was assassinated by black American members of the Nation of Islam.

Caution: Satire

The goal of the foreign policy of the 46th President of the U.S.

Many enemies of the United States of America will die laughing watching the demented and senile 78 years old lifetime career politician and longtime habitual liar, the 46th President of the U.S. 

Should the 46th President succeed thus reducing the enemies of the U.S. he will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents of all times. His memories will live on in perpetuity. Mount Rushmore will see another monumental sculpture to be added in the aftermath.

Rome: Bread and circuses

My phrase of the day! Food for thought! 

To be politically correct in these times we live in, I almost feel obligated to warn that the author (Decimus Junius Juvenalis better known as Juvenal) was a white middle aged man, who may or may not have owned slaves, although he himself was reportedly the son or adopted son of a rich freedman. Please be aware this could be considered to be classical humanist education, which is almost condemned by some narrow minded witch hunting contemporaries!

(Caution: satire, irony)!

The interesting part about this famous phrase is its dual or ambiguous meaning (as so often in human life, the truth is a mix of both): 

1) People are easily content and do not seem to aspire to much or 

2) Government governs by exploiting and distracting the population 

"... In a political context, the phrase means to generate public approval, not by excellence in public service or public policy, but by diversion, distraction or by satisfying the most immediate or base requirements of a populace - by offering a palliative: for example food (bread) or entertainment (circuses). ..."
