Dresden police arrested a 29-year-old man on Tuesday morning who is said to have threatened two women aged 32 and 35. The man kicked in the doors of two flats in an apartment building on Leipziger Street in the Dresden district of Trachau at around 10.20 a.m. and threatened the two women with a knife.

Police officers were alerted and were able to arrest the suspect in the courtyard of the house.

The 29-year-old had allegedly taken drugs. A test was positive for amphetamines. Blood was then taken from the Tunisian.

It really is a thing to behold the Left’s active effort to send all the riots, unrest, and fires of the past several years down the memory hole. When Ferguson, Missouri, was set on fire by Black Lives Matter and Lisa Fithian-trained shock troops, no one called for Barack Obama to be taken off Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media.

However, his wife, Michelle Obama, this week called for the permanent removal of President Trump from all social media platforms because of Wednesday’s siege at the Capitol Building.

The next day he was.

Mrs. Obama took to Twitter, from which Trump is now banned from two accounts, to complain about how her heart was hurting that people laid siege to the Capitol Building. Mind you, a woman who only became proud of her country for the first time only because millions of Americans voted for her husband had a sudden pang of civic concern over Wednesday’s riot. We share your disgust, but were just wondering where she’s been for the last ten years.

She attempted to draw distinctions between the antifa and Black Lives Matter riots over the summer with what took place on Wednesday.

Seeing the gulf between the responses to yesterday’s riot and this summer’s peaceful protests and the larger movement for racial justice is so painful. It hurts.

There were some moments of peaceful protest during the riots of last spring, summer, and fall, but they were usually followed up by riots, a fact which she oddly never pointed out.

Kenosha.

Portland.

Seattle.

There were other cities laid waste by BLM and antifa, but these examples will suffice.

But Mrs. Obama went on to blame President Trump for the riot Wednesday because she said it was racist. 

The day was a fulfillment of the wishes of an infantile and unpatriotic president who can’t handle the truth of his own failures. And the wreckage lays at the feet of a party and media apparatus that gleefully cheered him on, knowing full well the possibility of consequences like these.

What if these rioters had looked like the folks who go to Ebenezer Baptist Church every Sunday? What would have been different?

Well, there was a black antifa member inciting rioting inside the Capitol if that will make you feel better, Mrs. Obama.

She said this riot was racist to demand Silicon Valley shut up the president.

Now is the time for Silicon Valley companies to stop enabling this monstrous behavior—and go even further than they have already by permanently banning this man from their platforms and putting in place policies to prevent their technology from being used by the nation’s leaders to fuel insurrection. And if we have any hope of improving this nation, now is the time for swift and serious consequences for the failure of leadership that led to yesterday’s shame.

Her solution to stopping such riots is to shut up the president and anyone else who agrees with him, just like other people we’ve seen through history.

On Friday, Facebook throttled Rush Limbaugh because he was purveying opinion which they called fake news. Limbaugh also left Twitter. Apple and Google attacked Parler for not censoring speech that the companies claimed without proof incited the riot at the Capitol Building on Wednesday.

Big Tech’s got the green light to lay waste to conservative thought because, after all, what pushback can they expect from a Biden administration – especially since so many of his staffersare expected to come from their cushy tech jobs in Silicon Valley?

Was banning President Trump good for Twitter, given its pious partisan reasons? Trump, after all, had tens of millions of followers, and getting rid of him means less traffic to the site. Did banning Trump enhance Twitter’s shareholder value? Or did it put Twitter a few steps closer to going the way of MySpace?

It’s too soon to say at this point, but there’s oodles of evidence that the picture isn’t pretty.

Take the company’s stock price. Which way did it go after they banned Trump? Down.

Here’s a thumbnail from a Google search of how its stock performed:

It went down 1.61% at the close of business yesterday, shortly after the news of its ban came out, and then went down nearly three times as much, losing 3.77% in the overseas and after-hours markets. This, on a day when most social media companies were neither in a down day or a downtrend. Facebook, which also banned Trump also lost some share value. Snapchat, which also banned Trump, but I believe in afterhours, ended up. Nearly all other social media and tech sites such as Ali Baba, were actually up. And while we are talking about tech, Tesla soared 7.84%. You can see this stuff easily with a Google Finance search like this one here.

A tiny stock drop is nothing without context, without studying the company’s fundamentals and technicals, without weighing flukes and unrelated motives from buyers and sellers, but if you look at that, you’ll see some definitely cautionary flags.

Investor’s Business Daily, where I worked for 14 years until 2016 as an editorial writer, has some expert financial analysis on Twitter as a stock dated Dec. 28, 2020, in a neutrally reported story targeted at investors. 

One of IBD’s portfolio managers (an ace trader named Scott Lehtonen I don’t actually know) investigated the state of the stock, and neutrally reported both the positive and negative signals.

The Dec. 28 analysis, which can be read without a subscription here, points to flat earnings growth and a company that is failing to attract new users. I boldfaced the interesting parts:

In the most recent quarter — reported on Oct. 29 — the company reported better-than-expected Q3 results, but weak user growth. Twitter ended the quarter with 187 million daily active users, well below estimates of 195 million. It added just 1 million new users, vs. 20 million in the previous quarter and 6 million in the year-ago period.

Driven by a rebound in advertising demand, revenue climbed 14% to $936 million, above consensus of $777 million. Adjusted earnings of 19 cents per share topped views of 14 cents.

(We can draw our own conclusions as to why.)

Lehtonen finished his Dec. 28 report with this:

In conclusion, Twitter stock is trading in the 5% buy zone above a new buy point during the current stock market rally. But weak earnings growth could deter growth investors.

So Twitter isn’t attracting new users, and undoubtedly lost some with the banning of President Trump, who had 80.46 million followers. Banning Trump means at least some may have, and probably have, moved to other platforms, such as Parler, or else just grown bored and departed. 

Two other trouble points were noted in a couple of IBD proprietary ratings — in Twitter’s earnings per share (EPS), which looks at quarterly and annual earnings growth (it rated 26 out of a possible 99, which is really wretched), and in its relative strength rating, which is how it stacks up to comparable companies (85 out of a possible 99, not the star in the bunch).  

I’m not a stock trader, but based on the figures cited, this doesn’t look like an auspicious picture for the Twitter stock. Multiple factors included, it might still be a star performer, but it clearly has some weakness.

And amazingly, it was a self-inflicted wound, given that Twitter banned Trump on its own volition, chasing more users out. Smart companies don’t alienate and lose customers. Memo to Twitter: Remember MySpace.

In mid-November 2020, an eleven-year-old Muslim pupil at the Christian Morgenstern primary school in the Berlin district of Spandau threatened his teacher with beheading, immediately after which the boy was on sick leave and has not shown up at school since (see the tweet above). Nor will he again.According to information from the daily Tagesspiegel, the eleven-year-old has been deregistered from the Morgenstern School by his parents and enrolled at a Turkish public school in Spandau. Karina Jehniche, the head of the Morgenstern primary school, did not respond to an enquiry by the Tagesspiegel on this matter.

It is now unclear whether and how the boy will receive psychological care. A psychologist at the Morgenstern primary school had been dealing with the boy and the question of whether he had only parroted the sentence and from whom he had heard it or whether he had picked up the mindset of Islamist violence to some extent.

The threat referred to the murder of the French teacher Samuel Paty, who had been beheaded by an 18-year-old Chechen because the teacher had shown Mohammed cartoons in class.At the Morgenstern School, it was agreed that a weekly meeting would take place between the school psychologist, the class teacher and the boy’s mother. If necessary, the eleven-year-old should also attend. In any case, the pupil was to have a compulsory one-to-one talk with the psychologist and a social worker from the school.

The mother now no longer has a compulsory connection to the school. The boy’s siblings were also at the Morgenstern School, but have left the school earlier.

In a telephone conversation immediately after the incident, the mother had explained to the headmistress that it must be the school’s fault if her son said such things. She and her husband did not think so.

The boy had already been making violent comments a week before his threat.

It is now also unclear in what way the Youth Welfare Office will continue to look after the family. Karina Jehniche, the school headmaster, had reported the incident to the Youth Welfare Office, among others.

“The family receives every support from this office as well as from the School Psychological and Inclusion Pedagogical Counselling and Support Centre in Spandau,” Jehniche had said following the incident.The news of the death threat had caused a stir all over Germany. The boy had made the threat after his teacher had demanded that the parents of the eleven-year-old come to a parents’ meeting.

Because of the virus mutations that have occurred in Great Britain and South Africa, the rules for entering Germany from “Corona risk countries” have been tightened.

As the German daily Handelsblatt reported, the future regulation provides for the introduction of a test requirement in addition to the ten-day quarantine requirement. The test must be carried out either within 48 hours prior to arrival or immediately after arrival.

Although the German federal government has so far rejected possible vaccination privileges, the new model quarantine ordinance clearly prefer those who have already been vaccinated. For those who can present vaccination documentation for a fully completed vaccination against the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus at least 14 days prior to entry, both the mandatory Corona test and the quarantine are lifted.

But the study in the Lancet noted that “There were no peer-reviewed publications available on efficacy of any severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines…” So while you put the cotton swab into the nostril of the “unvaccinated” and then condemn them to ten days of house arrest, the vaccinated go straight back to their usual routine, just like in the good old days. But apart from passing the test, what exactly have they been vaccinated against?

This also applies to those who have already been infected with “Corona”. They too are privileged – no compulsory test and quarantine required. The model quarantine ordinance also provides that “persons who have a medical certificate for an infection with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 which was confirmed by nucleic acid detection at the time of entry at least 21 days and no more than six months”.

According to the Handelsblatt, the model ordinance has resulted in critical inquiries. One was “irritated and annoyed” with a view to the unequal treatment of vaccinated and non-vaccinated, said a country representative.

However, this “annoyance” will not change anything when entering the Corona two-tier society. Numerous “vaccination privileges” will gradually be introduced. Contrary to previous assurances, the privileges for vaccinated people will increase, because how else can one get the predominantly vaccine-skeptical populations to expose their deltoid muscle for the needle.

The South African strain may be impervious to the available vaccines, especially those of Pfizer and Moderna, UK broadcaster ITV reported, citing unnamed advisers to the UK government.

Matt Hancock, the UK minister for health, has said that he was “incredibly worried” about the new South African variant, calling it a “very significant problem”.

The absolute risk of developing Covid-19 symptoms without the vaccine is supposedly 0,88 percent and with the vaccine 0,044 percent. In absolute terms, the effectiveness of the vaccine is insignificant, possibly a reason why it is not working in South Africa.

A prominent member of the notorious Miri clan can probably stay in Germany for the time being. Ahmad A., who has been convicted many times, received at the end of last year a renewed permit to remain in Germany, which is now his 27th. According to confidential documents of the Berlin Foreigners’ Registration Office, the certificate of suspended deportation is valid for one and a half years.The alleged 39-year-old man arrived in the country from Lebanon with his parents in 1989. His asylum application was rejected in 1992. Due to the lack of passports, the family could not be deported. Already as a youth, A. was known to the police for robbery, extortion, theft and bodily harm. In the meantime, 22 criminal records have been added to the Federal Central Register. A. is said to have close contacts to the Berlin gangsta rap scene. Only in September did a judgement against A. become final. The local court in Berlin sentenced him to two years and three months in prison for dangerous bodily harm and violation of the weapons law.The offender, who calls himself Ahmad “Patron” Miri in public, has claimed to be from Syria for several years. A second asylum application was rejected. The ban on deportations to Syria, which had been in place since 2012, expired at the end of December. However, transfers to the country are still hardly possible. Ahmad A.’s lawyer did not answer a request by the weekly SPIEGEL about his client’s asylum status.

According to the federal government, Turkish right-wing extremists are trying to influence public and political opinion in Germany.

This is stated in the response to a parliamentary question of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), quoted by the newspaper “Die Welt”. Particularly in local politics, parts of the Turkish right-wing extremist scene are trying to occupy established intercultural dialogue formats, it says. According to the report, the federal government has knowledge about the candidacy of such persons in local and integration council elections.In November, the Bundestag had called for a ban on ” Grey Wolves” to be considered. However, according to media reports, experts currently consider the legal hurdles to be too high.Furthermore, according to the newspaper “Die Welt”, the German government classifies the Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research ( SETA ) as part of the Turkish ruling party AKP. SETA has run an agency in Berlin since 2017. The Milli Görüs movement also tries to function as a contact for politics and society. Via the “Islamrat für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland” (Islam Council for the Federal Republic of Germany), which it dominates, it is indirectly represented in the German Islam Conference.
