German government seeks to ease rules for naturalization

“Germany needs better rules for the naturalization of all these great women and men,” Scholz said. The overhaul of citizenship rules is one of a series of modernizing reforms that the three-party coalition of Scholz’s center-left Social Democrats, the environmentalist Greens and the pro-business Free Democrats agreed to tackle when it took office last December. In principle, most people from countries other than European Union members and Switzerland currently have to give up their previous nationality when they gain German citizenship, though there are some exemptions. “Selling off German citizenship cheap doesn’t encourage integration — it aims for exactly the opposite and will trigger additional ‘pull effects’ for illegal migration,” senior conservative lawmaker Alexander Dobrindt told Saturday’s edition of the Bild daily. “Five years is a very, very short time” for people to be eligible for citizenship, Union chief whip Thorsten Frei told ZDF television.

Depleted Bills produce a dud in playoff loss to Bengals

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Adversity finally caught up to the Buffalo Bills, who were left depleted and defeated while closing an emotionally draining season two wins short of their Super Bowl aspirations. Unable to draw on the motivational inspiration of injured teammate Von Miller displaying the Super Bowl trophy he won last year in the locker room this week or injured safety Damar Hamlin’s surprise appearance at the stadium Sunday, the Bills delivered a dud in a 27-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in a divisional playoff game. “Regardless of the struggles or not, we wanted to see this through the end,” left tackle Dion Dawkins said. Despite matching a single-season record with 13 wins, the Bills’ playoff run ended in the divisional round for a second straight year. “We put it all on the line out there and tonight it wasn’t good enough.”___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFLCopyright © 2023 .

Werfel as IRS commish: What to expect

Now that the Senate will remain in Democratic control, President Joe Biden’s nominee for IRS Commissioner will likely receive confirmation.
