German Crowd Boos Ivanka Trump for Calling Her Father a ‘Champion’ for Families


THE WASHINGTON POST: A German crowd booed Ivanka Trump on Tuesday after she called her father a “a tremendous champion of supporting families.”

Trump was taking her first crack at diplomacy abroad in her new role as assistant to the president, vowing at an economic conference in Berlin to create “positive change” for women in the United States.

“He encouraged me and enabled me to thrive,” she said on a panel with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. “I grew up in a house where there was no barrier to what I could accomplish beyond my own perseverance and my own tenacity.”

Miriam Meckel, editor of the German magazine Wirtschaftswoche, noted the audience’s response of groaning and hissing and asked Ivanka Trump whether her father is actually an “empowerer” of women. » | Danielle Paquestte | Tuesday, April 25, 2017

Relief in Berlin as Macron Wins First Round


HANDELSBLATT – GLOBAL: Pro-EU candidate Emmanuel Macron’s success in France’s first-round presidential election has raised hopes in neighboring Germany that the French will reject far-right candidate Marine Le Pen and break the populist fever that has swept Europe.

Berlin can breathe a sigh of relief – for now. Centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron has taken the lead in the first round of France’s presidential election, raising hopes in neighboring Germany that its most important European partner will hold the line against a populist wave that threatens to upend the European Union.

The contest, however, is far from over and the final outcome is anything but certain. Far-right candidate Marine Le Pen was nipping at Mr. Macron’s heels in Sunday’s poll, trailing him by just 2 percentage points in the first round according to preliminary results. » | Spencer Kimball | Sunday, April 23, 2017

Brigitte Gabriel: Chancellor Merkel 'Reaping What She's Sown'


Author and activist Brigitte Gabriel criticized German Chancellor Angela Merkel over her perceptibly lax immigration policies prior to Monday's truck attack at a Berlin Christmas market.

Police are still searching for a suspect who drove a large vehicle into an outdoor 'Weihnachtsmarkt' in a fashionable section of the capital.

"She obviously is reaping the results of what she has sown," Gabriel said, adding that Merkel previously tried to "underplay" whether refugees were behind a series of rapes on New Years Eve 2015 in Köln.

Der stetig zunehmende Terrorismus ist eine Begleiterscheinung der Flüchtlingspolitik. Mit der Entscheidung, alle Menschen ungefiltert ins Land zu lassen nehmen westliche Demokratien auch die hiermit einhergehenden Gefahren in Kauf. Daher sind vor allem die Menschen, die sich dem bewusst und entschlossen entgegenstellen, wahre Helden.
