Get it!

Howdy from Texas, dear readers,
The only good thing about the chaotic overall situation in my adopted home is that through it I will probably never assume the fabric for this column. Every morning I study the news headlines: were Germans traveling to America again arrested? Are US critical journalists already arrested? Are mothers of cheeky daughters in custody? No? Then I’m still safe.
I switch to social media. On Tikkok, only crazy strangers are, such as the well-known personal trainer Ashton Hall, who documents his repulsive morning routine: get up at 3.55 a.m., make pushups on the balcony and then be very loud, then the visa in a hard time in Saratoga water (3 dollars per bottle) with ice cubes (unclear whether also from Saratoga water) Van-Clleef-Alhambra-Armband ($ 4600 exclusive VAT) and dior belt bags ($ 2100, also exclusive VAT, unless he has it from Europe, then cheaper).
On the other hand, there are only crazy acquaintances on Instagram: every pseudo -intellectual privileged American in my radius, which is somewhat in itself, compares the current situation in her country with the Nazi Germany, which is completely unknown until yesterday, and herself with Anne Frank, which is still unknown to this day. I think this is called history of history and cultural appropriation in wokes. But probably not if it affects yourself.
Talke talks
News from Fernwest: Jana Talke lives in Texas and writes about American and Americanized way of life.
So over to Facebook, the vacation paradise of the Boomer generation, which combines both crazy acquaintances and crazy strangers. They meet in Facebook groups, which Dante, if he knew them (Hoho!), Would declare their tenth hell circle of his inferno. I am in some members – whether from Masochism or Mania, it is difficult to say. There are the “Germans in Texas”, which, despite old age, exemplary behavior and all necessary papers, would panic daily because of the changing train and entry information and show the worst grammar that the German language has ever seen, which should actually be banned from entering Germany.
The “Russians in Texas” had just made a lot of election advertising for the current President, but are now crying around that they could be deported – because they obviously do not have the necessary papers.
The Facebook group “Mothers from Frisco” (this is a fairly ugly but very popular, because expensive suburb here in the region) is always a point of contact for diet pills, information where you can get dubious ozempic recipes from, homeschooling tips for “talented” children and advertising for mobile “IV hydration services”. Recently, these mommys have also been a contact point for opponents of vaccination. So recently posted a trulla, she was freshly drawn and searched (I translate freely): “A botox and filler specialist”, “A hormone doctor for my husband” (say Viagra), “Christian marriage-Counseling” (if Viagra does not work) and, drum spa, “a pediatrician who doesn’t annoy me because of vaccinations”!
You now think that the post has received a lot of negative response. Nevertheless. She received approval and many recommendations. The trulla replied to those who asked how nerve poison and vaccination tendency could be reconciled that they wanted to protect their children, but also stop the aging process.
Nowadays, shooters are called the refusal to participate in the vital vaccination process for society. This so -called protection also led to the outbreak of a measles epidemic in Texas: 422 cases in this state and year alone, by an illness that had long been defeated. And where there is a work of vaccination, the Rohe milk faction is not far, the second dangerous love affair of the suburban mom. Due to the vaccination and pasteurization, life expectancy once shot up worldwide, now this development threatens to be reversed by uneducated, privileged trullas. But if consecrated to the downfall, then at least raised in ice and flaked with fillers.
