-- "YOU CAN HAVE A GLASS OF WATER." TUSK ON THE NEED FOR MATURE PARTNERS - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/live/2024/11/07 -- TRUMP UNDERSTANDS THAT POLAND IS THE NEW LEADER IN EUROPE AND WILL SHOW POLAND THE RESPECT AND ATTENTION IT DESERVES AND HAS EARNED - GEORGETTE MOSBACHER IN CONVERSATION WITH PAP - VIA ONET: “The former US ambassador to Poland emphasized that 'Donald Trump knows that Poland is now our most important NATO ally.' - Donald Trump understands that Poland is the new leader in Europe and will show Poland the respect and attention it deserves and has earned - she said.” -- REGARDLESS OF THE ROLE I WILL PLAY, I LOVE POLAND, I HAVE IT IN MY BLOOD NOW - MOSBACHER FURTHER TO PAP - VIA ONET: “Regardless of the role I will play, I love Poland, I have it in my blood now, and whoever becomes the next president of Poland, I will do everything I can to support the relations between Poland and the United States - she said.” https://www.onet.pl/informacje/onetwiadomosci/byla-ambasador-usa-donald-trump-rozumie-ze-polska-jest-nowym-liderem/wn21f6e,79cfc278 -- DONALD TRUMP'S ADMINISTRATION WILL REDEFINE US FOREIGN POLICY, AND THIS CAN BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US, NOT A THREAT. WE SHOULD INVITE PRESIDENT TRUMP TO VISIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - SŁAWOMIR DĘBSKI IN CONVERSATION WITH PATRYCJA BUKALSKA IN TYGODNIK POWSZECHNY: “In late April, we will have the Three Seas Summit in Warsaw, and it would be natural and understandable for me if President Andrzej Duda immediately invited President Trump to participate in this summit. Especially since in 2017, President Trump was in Warsaw, participating in the inauguration of American involvement at the presidential level in the Three Seas policy. We need to build on this, utilize it. We also need to consider what we expect from the USA. Our policy must be active. Let's look for opportunities and think outside the box, as Americans say, because the new US policy is still being shaped, and what it will be may depend, to some extent, on us as well.” -- BIDEN'S ADMINISTRATION MAINTAINED A FORMULA OF INFORMAL CONSULTATIONS IN NATO WITH ONLY GERMANY, FRANCE, AND GREAT BRITAIN PARTICIPATING. POLAND WAS NOT INVITED - SAYS DĘBSKI TO BRUKALSKA IN TYGODNIK: “We are determined in this regard, we take security seriously. Yet, the Biden administration maintained a formula of informal consultations in NATO with only Germany, France, and Great Britain participating. Poland was not invited to this, as was evident recently in Berlin, for example. In my opinion, one of Poland's demands to the Trump administration should be either to expand this format to include Warsaw or to throw it in the bin. Because if there are no representatives from the eastern flank of NATO at all, then it is unrepresentative.” https://www.tygodnikpowszechny.pl/czy-prezydentura-trumpa-moze-byc-szansa-dla-polski-188901 -- FOR FOUR YEARS, THE DEMOCRATS WORKED HARD TO SHOW THE HORRORS OF TRUMP TO THE "DARK PEOPLE," WHICH APPARENTLY DIDN'T QUITE WORK ON THE "DARK PEOPLE." OUR "DEMOCRATS" ARE MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE - WRITES GRZEGORZ SROCZYŃSKI IN GAZETA.PL. -- STOP THREATENING DUDA WITH THE TRIBUNAL, STOP BADGERING HIM, ESTABLISH A COMMON TACTIC AND UTILIZE HIS GOOD RELATIONS WITH TRUMP - SROCZYŃSKI FURTHER IN GAZETA.PL: “The government should use Duda here, who has been celebrating Trump and kissing his ring (and even lower) for a long time. So, stop threatening Duda with impeachment, stop arguing with him about ambassadors, stop badgering him, establish a common tactic and use his good relations with Trump for the next few months. Given the challenge that Trump undoubtedly represents for Poland, you should at least take this one matter out of the polarizing vortex.” -- SROCZYŃSKI ON THE STORIES ABOUT TRUMPIZM: “We find the same in the book written by the new Trump vice president, J.D. Vance (published in Poland under the title 'Hillbilly Elegy'). To understand Trumpism, it is also worth reading the novels of Jonathan Franzen, the book by sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild, 'Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right,' and to this, it is worth adding Matt Taibbi's amusing booklet, 'Hate, Inc.,' published by Czarne, which shows how media (primarily liberal ones) benefit from fueling polarization. And of course, 'Nomadland: Surviving America in the New Economy' by Jessica Bruder (I recommend the book, not the film, which is as flat as a pancake).” https://wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/wiadomosci/7,114884,31445060,calujmy-trumpa-w-pierscien-piec-lekcji-z-amerykanskich-wyborow.html -- THE BLINDED WESTERN LIBERAL WORLD STILL FAILS TO SEE THAT IT HAS LARGELY LED TO THE TRIUMPH OF THIS AND OTHER "JOKERS" OF CONTEMPORARY POLITICS - PRZEMYSŁAW SZUBARTOWICZ IN INTERIA: “The Western world did not heed the warnings of its great critic, as especially in his early books was the outstanding French writer Michel Houellebecq, and did not address in time the illusion of greenhouse freedom, immigration, the decay of social relations, the climate, or even the imbalance between the dictates of science falling into sterile disciplines and the dictatorship of triumphant quackery.” -- INSTEAD, WOKE WAS PROPOSED - SZUBARTOWICZ FURTHER: “Instead, a prosthesis of political correctness, woke culture, cancel culture, a new artificial morality, the destruction of gender difference, disastrously prepared and politicized electrification of motoring, or uncritical openness, which resulted in its opposite, i.e., burgeoning xenophobia, were proposed.” https://wydarzenia.interia.pl/felietony/news-beczka-prochu,nId,7848786 -- DONALD TRUMP'S VICTORY IS A SYMBOLIC END TO THE WORST YEAR IN PIS HISTORY - ASSESSES ONE OF JAROSŁAW KACZYŃSKI'S ADVISORS IN AGATA KONDZIŃSKA'S ARTICLE IN GW: ”In his opinion - Actually, nothing. It's the Americans' choice. But it is, in a way, a symbolic end to the worst year in PiS's history. It's not enough to realistically return to power, but it shows that a return is possible. And a change in attitude within the party, a change in mentality, always has great significance - he replies. And he recalls the time when Jarosław Kaczyński's party lost power after eight years in government, and then fell into the turbulence of settling into opposition.” -- I BELIEVE THIS CAMPAIGN IS WINNABLE, WE JUST NEED TO BET ON A GOOD CANDIDATE - FURTHER A PIS POLITICIAN TO KONDZIŃSKA: “- I believe this campaign is winnable, we just need to bet on a good candidate, for whom the whole party will work - I hear from a PiS politician. That's why PiS is looking for someone who will unite all factions and will also listen to campaign managers.” https://wyborcza.pl/7,75398,31445296,pis-swietuje-po-zwyciestwie-trumpa-i-mysli-jak-to-wykorzystac.html -- DISCIPLINARY STEPS NEEDED FOR MINISTER GAWKOWSKI - ERNEST SKALSKI IN GW: “He can think whatever he wants about this. He could also express himself as he wishes if he were a private individual. However, he is a Deputy Prime Minister and a minister of the government of the Republic of Poland. The government and its important member cannot hold divergent positions on the same issue.” https://wyborcza.pl/7,75968,31443911,potrzebne-kroki-dyscyplinujace-ministra-gawkowskiego.html -- BIRTHDAYS: Krzysztof Kilian turns 66, Robert Kwiatkowski, Marcin Zaborski, Anna Gembicka, Anita Błochowiak.
