Gamescom is the world’s largest event for computer and video games, held in Cologne.

Kakistocracy is a form of government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens, often leading to incompetence, corruption, and mismanagement.

The world is on fire.

After watching our chancellor at the NATO summit and during the last session in parliament, we can conclude that he has completely lost contact with reality.

It’s unbelievable and stunning at the same time how utterly inept and incompetent our government and the administration in the US are.

During the night from Easter Saturday to Sunday, a young man was shot by the German police.

Easter symbolizes renewal and rebirth, representing hope and new beginnings for members of the faith.

Authoratism is on the rise on both sides of the Atlantic.

First came the results of our national election.
