Opet maloumne sektaške laži. Maloumne jer nema čak ni minimuma truda da se ispoštuje stvarnost, prosto nasumično ispaljene riječi. Ramifications of USAID Termination Global Impacts The termination of USAID and the halt on foreign assistance have already begun to have negative global outcomes. In regards to medical care, the lack of funding for the PEPFAR program has triggered a suspension of medicine distribution and the closure of clinics throughout Africa, with the United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS estimating that almost 3,000 preventable HIV infections have since occurred. Similarly, the lack of adequate funding has left many clinics defunct, with officials in the Democratic Republic of Congo unable to afford air conditioning to keep necessary medicines cold. Furthermore, Syria has seen the firing of over 150 medical officials along with the cessation of 10 crucial clinics in one of the country’s most dire regions. Similar risks are faced with numerous diseases, such as tuberculosis. Without adequate funding, clinics and NGOs can no longer afford to test for or treat TB patients, nor can they maintain the staff necessary to carry out these actions. Since TB is an airborne illness, its spread is not confined to one particular area, meaning it can quickly become a much larger issue, thus making its impact even greater. This halt in assistance will also likely contribute to greater global inequality, where organizations that promote education, women’s and LGBTQ+ rights, and refugee assistance will likely face large funding gaps and be unable to achieve their goals. Geopolitical Impacts Though many argue that USAID projects are often antithetical to the country’s national interests, the reality is that the agency allows the United States to create long-lasting, positive relations with partnering countries while preventing the extension of influence from its adversaries. Ceasing funds abruptly means that affected communities and US relations are both at risk. By turning away from foreign aid, other countries will step in to fill these funding gaps. However, by doing so, these countries can exert soft power, challenging the US hegemony. Efforts are already being made by China, which has begun to fund projects in former USAID recipient regions. Funding issues aside, this rapid change to foreign aid distribution may also reduce global trust in the US as countries question the nation’s ability to follow through on projects. This distrust could further weaken America’s diplomatic relations with both former USAID recipient countries and with new countries in the future. In short, by cutting funding, diplomatic relations are strained, and a space for competing hegemonic powers is opened. Domestic Impact While cutting USAID primarily impacts countries abroad, this termination of funding also carries domestic ramifications. As the agency is the leading provider of global humanitarian food aid, cutting USAID has also meant ending government contracts with farmers. In 2020, the federal government bought $2 billion worth of food aid from American farmers, and while this number is a small portion of the entire agriculture market, it does provide stability for those contract employees and fills a demand gap for specific grains. Even food aid received prior to the funding freeze has yet to be delivered and it is not being sent to its planned destination. The abrupt termination of USAID also raises questions regarding democracy and legality in the United States, as the actions taken by the current administration undermine Congress’s authority over agency creation and budgetary power. Agency creation and elimination requires Congressional approval; however, nothing has been brought to the legislative branch that requests to dissolve USAID. Similarly, these decisions are guided by the Department of Government Efficiency, a temporary contract organization. The dismantling of the agency has triggered a flurry of lawsuits, with one of them expecting a final hearing on February 21st. Since terminating USAID in this fashion is illegal, the result of the lawsuit and subsequent actions demand close attention.

Kad majmun vozi tenk: Trump marks 100 days in office on Wednesday, and he may be greeted with a contraction in first quarter U.S. gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the country's economic health. As of Tuesday morning, GDP was expected to come in at a weak 0.3%, according to a Reuters poll, but after another round of lackluster economic figures, prominent economists including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan lowered their expectations for the quarter to -0.8%, -1.4%, and -1.75%, respectively. Job openings dropped sharply in March, while the Conference Board's measure of consumer confidence in April fell to its lowest level since COVID-era readings as inflation expectations surged. The trade deficit spiked to a new record on another rise in imports as people bought goods to get ahead of tariffs. "The world has not been faced with such enormous potential impacts to trade in more than 100 years," UPS CEO Carol Tome said on the company's earnings call. UPS je najavio otpuštanje 20.000 ljudi...

dobar naslov teme 🙂 neka je sasrećom

Matematički, Liberali (168 poslanika) i NDP (7) imaju većinu, s tim da ja očekujem da će Carney po pitanju Trumpa i ekonomskih mjera za umanjivanje posledica njegovog divljanja imati bez problema i podršku dijela opozicije, uključujući tu i dio poslanika Konzervativne stranke.

Nikola Jović pravo iz povrede izjednačio lični rekord u poenima (24). Jutros mi je izašao video njegovog nedavnog gostovanja kod Gorana Dragića, na početku kad se zagrle Jović djeluje kao da ima 30cm više od Dragića i u visinu i u širinu:

Ja sam se baš debelo zajebao prošle godine očekujući nešto od njega, ono je katastrofa, ne bih mu se obradovao da sam kojim slučaj navijač Mornara iz Bara. Više smo ove godine dobili od Lakića, nego od njega, i dobili bismo bar isto toliko koliko od njega od bilo kog domaćeg able bodied klinca naloženog da pogine u odbrani. U ostalim vijestima: Karlick Jones nije igrač koji zaslužuje ključeve vrhunske ekipe, a nije ni igrač sistema koji može da se skloni u stranu i bude razigravač u vrhunskoj ekipi. Divljanje po EC je njegova mjera, na tom nivou bi bio zlo.

Dubai bi mogao da zapne za ove NBA povratnike (da ne kažem otpatke) sa naših prostora, Vasilije, Šarić, Čančar... Inače, ovaj naš koji im je đeneral minađer je rekao da će budžeKt biti 11-12 miliona uz nekoliko izuzetaka, tako da tu postoji prostor za divljanje. Zvuči mi kao da još nije siguran da li će mu se neko u Emiratima otvoriti za velike pare, ali da ako se to desi može da bude i uriniranja po finansijski defavorizovanoj populaciji.

JAAAAOOOOOOOO, po FB MAGArci komentarišu vijest o pobjedi Liberala u Kanadi kao dio Trumpovog master plana da liberali sad failuju i ogade liberalnu politiku Kanađanima do te mjere da svi tamo požele da se priključe trampistanu 😂 Ovo je bukvalno na jedan stepenik od priče kako je putler žrtvovao brod moskva da bi zapriječio prolaz NATO podmornicama* 😂😂😂 Cirkus je svakog dana sve zabavniji *u međuvremenu, jedan F/A 18 je poslat da lovi hutijevsko-iranske podmornice: Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group F/A-18 Super Hornet Lost at Sea, ko zna kakvo 9D planiranje ovo predstavlja u glavama MAGAradi P.S.: braćala 'ladno na nosaču odvukao avion (i traktor sa njim) u more: The F/A-18E was actively under tow in the hangar bay when the move crew lost control of the aircraft. The aircraft and tow tractor were lost overboard. 😥

Lik je stvarno bolestan: China rejects Trump’s claim that Xi has called him by phone Chinese leader Xi Jinping has not spoken to US President Donald Trump on the phone recently, Beijing said Monday, reiterating that no talks are taking place between the two countries to resolve their tariff war. The statement from a Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson is an outright rejection of Trump’s claim in an interview with Time magazine last week that Xi had called him, as the world’s two largest economies remain locked in a dispute over sky-high trade levies. “As far as I know, there has been no recent phone call between the two heads of state,” Guo Jiakun told a regular news conference. “I want to reiterate that China and the United States are not engaged in consultations or negotiations on the tariff issue.”

Nema milosti za manjine: President Donald Trump made clear Sunday that he would not follow his predecessor’s practice of recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day alongside Columbus Day in October, accusing Democrats of denigrating the explorer’s legacy as he pressed his campaign to restore what he argues are traditional American icons. Democrat Joe Biden was the first president to mark Indigenous Peoples Day, issuing a proclamation in 2021 that celebrated “the invaluable contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples” and recognize “their inherent sovereignty.” The proclamation noted that America “was conceived on a promise of equality and opportunity for all people” but that promise “we have never fully lived up to. That is especially true when it comes to upholding the rights and dignity of the Indigenous people who were here long before colonization of the Americas began.” Trump on Sunday used a social media post to declare, “I’m bringing Columbus Day back from the ashes.” He said on his Truth Social site that “the Democrats did everything possible to destroy Christopher Columbus, his reputation, and all of the Italians that love him so much.” Demokrata oj dubije SVAKOG Italijana, bajomoj 😥 BOKTEJEBO, KOME STE DALI JOYSTICK OD NAJVEĆE SILE NA SVIJETU 🤦♂️ 🤦♀️

Mislim da ne može jasnije da se kaže da neko laže, a da se to ne izgovori. Ovo je baš ozbiljan nož u leđa (ja nikad ne bih ovako javno prodao svog šefa, svašta sam kroz karijeru govorio mojim šefovima u 4 oka, ali pred ostalima je ili šef u pravu ili ja više nisam u toj ekipi), vrlo moguće i indikacija Bessentovog nezadovoljstva: Bessent does not back up Trump on China tariff discussions WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday did not back President Donald Trump's assertion that tariff talks with China were under way and said he did not know if the U.S. president had talked to Chinese President Xi Jinping. The Trump administration signaled openness last week to de-escalating a trade war between the world's two largest economies that has raised fears of recession. Trump himself has said talks on tariffs were taking place with China and that he and Xi have spoken. Yet Beijing has denied that any trade talks are occurring. Bessent, a key player in U.S. trade talks with multiple countries, said that he had interactions with his Chinese counterparts last week during International Monetary Fund meetings in Washington, but did not mention tariffs. "I had interaction with my Chinese counterpart, but it was more on the traditional things like financial stability, global economic early warnings," he said on ABC's "This Week." "I don't know if President Trump has spoken with President Xi," Bessent added. "I know they have a very good relationship and a lot of respect for each other."

Dosta tužna konstatacija, isti fenomen kao u Americi, zabrinjavajuće veliki broj mladih muškaraca u Kanadi ima ozbiljnu političku retardaciju. Još ovi u Americi zbog Bidenovog stanja imaju neki izgovor za to što su na izborima izasrali, ovdje stvarno ko između Carneya i klasičnog populističkog uhljeba (lik je aleksandar vučić iz srećnije zemlje zahvaljujući čemu mu ruke nisu krvave, upao je u poslanički mandat pravo sa fakulteta, iskustvo i učinak van politike = krompir) izabere uhljeba, taj je kriminalno nesvjestan svijeta oko sebe. Young Canadians favor Conservatives in election despite Trump threat The opposition Conservatives, who a few months ago had a 20-point lead in polls, are expected to lose Monday's election to Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberals thanks largely to Carney's tough words for U.S. president Donald Trump. But Poilievre's focus on cost of living is resonating with one set of voters: the young, and young men especially. A poll by Nanos on April 24 found 49.3% of voters aged 18-34 support the Conservatives, compared to 30% support for the Liberals. When all age groups were considered, the Liberals led 42.9% to 39.3%. Filtered for men of all ages, 45.5% prefer the Conservatives compared to 36.7% for the Liberals, the poll found.

Pričuvaj taj populizam za svoje kolege MAGAše, stvarno je ispod svakog nivoa, čak i onog koji si ti uspjela da prokopaš. Bureaucracy is a system of organization where laws or regulatory authority are implemented by civil servants, non-elected officials. Historically, a bureaucracy was a government administration managed by departments staffed with non-elected officials. EDIT da bude jasnije u MAGAlandu: birokratija je menadžer države, ne vladar. Ona upravlja u skladu sa zakonima koje donose izabrani predstavnici naroda. Izabrani predstavnici naroda vladaju donošenjem zakona.

Sve što si navela je proporcionalno nekoj osnovici, u pravu si da ne mora da bude prihod, može da bude i promet, imovina, nasleđe, kapitalna dobit, i tako dalje. Na srpskom jeziku porez se definiše kao: Порез је недобровољно плаћање држави које није праћено противуслугом коју би од ње примио платилац пореза. Dok se taksa definiše kao: Taksa je propisan iznos koji se plaća prilikom obavljanja administrativnog posla. Takse su jedan od najstarijih fiskalnih oblika. Poznate su već u starom veku. Osnovna karakteristika je da je to onaj iznos novca koji se plaća kao ekvivalent za učinjenu uslugu. Usluge čini državna administracija ili druga tela fizičkim ili pravnim licima. Dakle, još jednom, nemam apsolutno nikakav problem ukoliko želiš da pišeš na engleskom, a ukoliko insitiraš da pišeš na srpskom, bilo bi korektno da koristiš ispravne termine. Uostalom, ovo je sve u cilju održavanja tvog srpskog jezika, kao što si i sama rekla.

Ovo što Trump i Musk rade nisu popravke, ovo je sistematsko uništavanje kapaciteta birokratije da upravlja državom. Sedam ili osam ljudi su izmijenjali na čelu IRS-a za tri mjeseca, na kraju niko nije ni htio taj posao (pri čemu je direktor poreske uprave jedna od najprestižnijih pozicija u birokratiji bilo koje države na svijetu, ljudi se u normalnim okolnostima biju da dođu do toga u Zimbabveu, a kamo li u SAD), pa je Bessent morao da imenuje nekog svog miniona na tu poziciju.

Sve se suzdržavam da te pitam, jer če zvučati kao podjebavanje, ali ne mogu da izdržim, nije podjebavanje, nego me stvarno zanima šta sad nakon ovih 100 dana kaže tvoj prijatelj koji je smatrao da ima nečega u Trumpovij priči. Da li i dalje misli isto?
