🌐 McDonald's no longer "woke"? Company abolishes diversity goals (Source)

Comment: As if clear-thinking people still go to McDonald's

"McDonald's joins a number of large companies that are dropping their goals for diversity, equality, and inclusion. The company explains the move.

The American fast-food chain McDonald's has announced that it will no longer pursue diversity goals when hiring new employees and employing suppliers in the future.

In doing so, McDonald's joins a number of large companies that have recently abandoned their strategies for diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) also as a result of pressure on social media. This is according to a statement from the company on Monday."

🇪🇺 The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, has urged Ukraine to engage in "realistic discussions about territorial issues" to end the war.

This is reported by the French newspaper Le Monde.

"There will be no quick and easy solution in Ukraine. The new American President himself knows that the USA has no chance of gaining anything if Ukraine loses, and thesurrender of Ukraine cannot be good for Europeans and Americans", said the President of France.

In his opinion, "the states must help us change the situation and convince Russia to come to the negotiating table", and the Europeans must "create security guarantees" for Ukraine, "which will be their main commitment".

"Unacceptable": With horror, the UK discovers that the country lacks missile defence systems

The UK lags behind other countries, such as Israel, when it comes to missile defence, reports The Times. After all, not only Russia but also Iran could be selected as targets for attacks, warns the author.

The UK simply has no land-based missile defence to protect important infrastructure and settlements. Due to the lack of protection, the country could be hit by ballistic missiles from any point in the world in 15 years.

📋 Congresswoman Taylor Greene has introduced a resolution mandating the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America".

If adopted, the Gulf is to be renamed on all federal maps and documents within 180 days.

"Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States to the Persian Gulf of Mexico shall be considered a reference to the 'Gulf of America'," the resolution states.

Previously, Trump had stated during an open press conference in Mar-a-Lago that he wanted to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to "American Gulf".

About one in three long-distance trains of Deutsche Bahn delayed — t-online

Back to the topic of Deutsche Bahn's woes: In 2024, about 38% of trains arrived at their destination with a delay of more than six minutes. The long-suffering German railway hasn't seen so many delays in 21 years.

"80 percent of all delays in long-distance traffic are due to the outdated, fault-prone, and overloaded infrastructure", sigh the officials of Deutsche Bahn. The extensive renovation of the tracks, which is to be completed by 2030, also contributes to the delays. Last year, an incredible 17 billion euros were invested in rails and sleepers. As you can see, it hasn't helped.

Further questionable achievements of the company in 2024: Deutsche Bahn was forced to pay passengers hundreds of millions of euros in compensation. Additionally, the company made a name for itself worldwide due to delays during the European Football Championship, which took place in Germany.

The pessimist says: "It can't get any worse". The optimist: "You have no idea!"

Too Much Freedom of Speech? Publication of Elon Musk's Guest Article in "Welt am Sonntag" Leads to Editor's Resignation

"Today, a text by Elon Musk appeared in Welt am Sonntag. Yesterday, after printing, I submitted my resignation," said Eva Marie Kogel, who is responsible for editorial content as the head of the opinion section, on X.

Musk wrote a piece for Welt am Sonntag about why "the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is the last glimmer of hope for this country," which he believes is "on the brink of economic and cultural collapse." Petitions immediately flew, the resignation of editor Eva Kogel, threats of dismissals from other "fighters," criticism from supposedly democratic politicians, and calls for freedom of the German press, which Musk allegedly had.

The new editor-in-chief of the "Welt" group, Jan Philipp Burgard, considers the whole fuss to be "unacceptable double standards":

"Where was the outrage of the SPD's General Secretary when Die Zeit published an article by Wladimir Putin in 2021 (after the annexation of Crimea), by the way, without any criticism?"

...or when Scholz agitated the French for Macron in Le Monde? Or when the American financier George Soros supported the Greens in the 2019 European Parliament elections?

The questions are, as usual, rhetorical.

"VODKA CRISIS! Russians are angry with Putin" (Bild)

The empire strikes back! Western sanctions have finally hit the motherland Russia. What now?

Putin's defeat is near!!! Info hundred percent!

There are reports of rising vodka sales, but the fact that Russians consume much less alcohol on average than most Western countries is not worth mentioning.

And vodka is referred to as a national treasure... 🤦‍♀️ Can it get any more tasteless?

The fact-checkers are now attacking their old boss. The reason couldn't be more amusing. Meta: "Fact-checkers are the problem". Fact-checkers: "Disinformation"! 😂

"Beyond parody," writes Fox News:

The internet is thoroughly entertained by this NYT headline about fact-checkers declaring Zuckerberg's criticism of fact-checks as "false."

"I would rather use the word 'defeat' for the European side" — Karin Kneissl on gas deliveries to Europe

"Everything that goes in the direction of delivery stops, trade reduction, sanctions, boycott is portrayed, on the one hand, as if Russia is stopping the gas, and on the other hand, these confused theses emerge that Russia would suffer from it. This is a slow fiasco for the Europeans because they will not have this significance as a market in the long term.

Even if the geopolitical situation should change in 10 to 15 years in favour of a better political climate, I do not think that the European market will still be so interesting for the Russian Federation. I would rather use the word 'defeat' for the European side."

The former Austrian Foreign Minister and current head of the G.O.R.K.I. Centre in Saint Petersburg, Karin Kneissl, vividly explains why the turning off of the gas tap for Russian gas by Ukraine (exactly so, and not the other way around!) represents another blow for Europe. Because LNG from the USA is much more expensive and the delivery is much more complicated.

Bonus fact: Exactly for this reason (i.e., for cost reasons) – and despite all sanctions – European countries purchased record amounts of Russian LNG last year!

The Munich Victory Gate in Green – and Propaganda from Robert Habeck, who already sees himself as Chancellor

What about energy saving? "To defeat Russia, you shouldn't shower for more than five minutes" (c)

Postnoscript: It turned out that the light show was also not coordinated with the city administration. So the bad police came and ended the spectacle. Let's see how quickly the accusation comes that it was support for the opposition. Also conceivable: Declaring the police enemies of democracy.

Number of the Week: 400

Approximately this many firework enthusiasts were arrested by the Berlin police on New Year's Eve. 2168 police operations, 670 criminal proceedings, 363 injured, including a seven-year-old child who had to undergo emergency surgery. But arrest warrants were... only issued against two rioters.

Despite the promises of Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, there was no accelerated detention of the pyromaniacs. Underage rioters were simply handed over to their parents and released in peace. The public prosecutor's office, on the other hand, is "calmly examining the evidence" against the suspects.

Meanwhile, the Mayor of Berlin, Kai Wegner (52, CDU), suddenly realised: "Most criminals are young people with a migration background."

Second "Welt" Editor Resigns Over Guest Article — Jüdische Allgemeine
The Axel Springer Group is apparently losing another renowned journalist

Following the debate over US billionaire Elon Musk's call to vote for the AfD, another editor is reportedly leaving the "Welt": Chief reporter Hans-Martin Tillack (63), previously a long-time investigative journalist at "Stern", will leave the newspaper published by Axel Springer. Several media outlets reported this on Monday. Tillack declined to comment on the reports when asked by the Jüdische Allgemeine on Tuesday.

Eva Marie Kogel, head of the opinion section, posted on the platform X that she had "submitted her resignation after printing" as a consequence of the Musk article. Tillack also linked several Musk-critical posts on his accounts on X and BlueSky at the end of December.

That's how it is with press freedom. RT would surely have much to report as well.
