Iran vs. Israel: Rarely was a Friday so 13 – the situation in the morning

Love Reader, dear reader,

I don’t know how they are doing. But I really have enough of this vocabulary of horror. Today the next “escalation”, tomorrow the next but one “unprecedented”, oh what, “historical event”. But they are putting their handles in their hands these days – and nobody can complete.

If you read these lines, has Israel The case of cases has long since heralded, the “surgery of emerging lion”. What has been feared and apparently prepared for weeks has actually happened: Israel attacked Iran. Dozens of air strikes claim to have flown against Iranian nuclear and military facilities. In Tehran, they say, the overpowering commander of the revolutionary guard, Hussein Salami, died.

Now Israel is preparing for retribution. And that will come. Certainly.

We keep you up to date with the current developments in our live blog:

After all, I have good news for you. Well, I thought. First it said: Donald Trump’s commitment of the National Guard in Los Angeles was illegal. Surprise! The responsible judge had instructed the US President to “immediately” return control of the militia to the state of California and thus to his governor. The satisfaction in the newsom did not last long: A little later, an appellate court tipped the verdict and gave Trump back in control. ‘Murica …

Nevertheless, there is quite a mood killer for the White House. Who knows how long the verdict will last this time. Trump, who celebrates his 79th birthday tomorrow (which is conveniently falling on a military parade), had probably imagined the fate of his democratic adversary:

Ok, the scene requires an explanation. The gentleman, who is made so professional here, is called Alex Padilla. He actually wanted to ask Trump’s Minister of Homeland Protection Minister Kristi Noem only a few very honest, i.e. uncomfortable questions about her boss’s deportation policy. Only she did not know (supposedly) that Padilla is not just any brazen Mexican, but California Senator and direct replacement for a certain Kamala Harris. Unpleasant.

The penalty, which presented himself there, then brilliantly transformed Padilla: “If this is the way this government deals with the question of a senator […] You can only imagine what they do to the agricultural workers, the chefs, the day laborers in the entire La community, all over California and all over the country “.

Also at the risk that this will become private to you: What foot did you get up with? Hopefully with the right first? Have you at least knocked on wood? And hopefully no black cat has taken away your right of way?

Even if: I’m afraid, today it doesn’t help anything. Even if you have probably already guessed it: Look at the calendar, it is Friday, the 13th that he has such a lousy reputation, he owes his predecessor, among other things, the 12th in Christianity. However, this is not the only crude reason:

Now don’t tell me that they are but loyal. Well, most of them believe that. But: According to one, in 2021 almost a third of all Germans admitted to being superstitious every now and then. By the way, women are much more often than men.

I’m not better there. Although I think I’m a very rational type, it itches in the back of my head when someone crosses cutlery, is too safe for his luck or that happiness drains out of a horseshoe.

Of course, all of the accident is nonsense. Statistically speaking, on a Friday, the 13th no more accidents than usual. Knock. Tapping. Tapping.

In Berlin you probably also go to the summer hole. But instead of rolling the television car in the last few meters before the start of the holiday, they also make working life difficult up there.

CDU general secretary Carsten Linnemann urges a fundamental reform of the citizens’ benefit, SPD Minister of Labor Bärbel BAS is therefore under pressure. After all, she has to deliver, is in the coalition agreement. As if the Social Democrats were not already busy with themselves.

So due to lack of time, is it more about corrections than reforms? My colleagues are discussing this in the new “5-minute talk”:

I think it’s just fair that you finally have to sweat the same way as I do. However, I find it unfair that the Koreans are solar shear than a nasty Dracula. You already know, ideal of beauty.

For me, this means: while afterwards you forget the rather modest world situation in the beer garden you trust, I will probably still hike in search of a not too sunny place through the wet-hot, concrete-dressed Seoul. Outdoor guestro, this is something for self -forgotten.

But it doesn’t help anything today. Then I just prosper in the shade.

Despite everything, I wish you a great day and a great weekend. In this sense: Geonbae!
