No, money for both countries is tied to US border security. Israel has gotten nothing in quite a while now.

News / How will Poland be affected by WW3 which has now started [559]

This could very well be the beginning of WW3. If things escalate in the middle east, or if one of those idiots from Iran or under their control sinks a US ship, Tehran will be lit up like never before. If Israel doesnt stop killing civilians it could easily get way out of control. Thankfully though, no money for Ukraine means no money for Israel too. WW1 started with an assasination, and a month later bombs were being dropped. WW2 started with some people not paying attention to little Adolf, and then millions died. If we dont pay attention to the little things going on in the world, WW3 could break out tomorrow.

USA, Canada / Staying in the USA - do I need work visa to apply? [95]

First and foremost, any "checks" or "cheques" cashed become property of the bank or are retrned to the business that wrote them. It would be impossible to keep a "check" written on another person or company account. A pay stub would be possible which would provide tax information, gorss pay and net pay information.

Work permits cannot be applied for once in the United States, they must be applied for prior to arrival. This kind of visa would be an H2B most likely due to the temporary nature of the work. Anything long term over a year would require a different visa. I know because I do visa applications for clients all the time in the US and throught Europe.

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]

@Poloniusz
But it is the women, who after all their battles for equal rights, want to allow men (trans freaks) to compete in womens sport, be regonized as women in the workplace and every other idiotic pretend rights. It is these same WOKE women who want to absolutely destroy the special place women have in society. The world has a mental disease called WOKEISM and I am afraid it has infected women to the point where they do not break the infection until they realise they are tool old to have the kids they just now realize they want to have. And then you have declining birth rates and depressed women.

Law / Staying In Poland Waiting For Karta Pobytu and Consequences [8]

@Maximus2023
This is incorrect. As long as you have proof you have filed for Temporary Residency, EU and Polish law allows for travel between Poland and your home country. Any other European or UK passport control unit will know this law. That said, if you are traveling outside of the two countries your residency application defines, there are no protections, and it is at the discretion of the transit country.

@Korvinus
The coalition parties not going as one block was absolutely stupid. They left the door open for PiS to keep this $hit show going for potentially three months. Duda should have some balls for a change and do whats right for the country and nominate Tusk. Duda cant run again, and he has an opportunity to become his own man and not a JK puppet. CMS is right, if PiS messes around too much, an early election would likely be even worse for PiS. Stalling is bad for Poland, and would just be more proof that PiS didnt GAF about anyone but themselves. Their financial policies are a disaster for Poland and it will take decades to undo the damage.

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

@pawian
While I appreciate you remembering those words, this new government is not settled yet and that concerns me. Already too many discussions on who should control what, and no real statements on what they will be doing. This is immature politics and more battling for control, which is no better than PiS in my opinion. If this return to the entrepreneur test returns it is bad for the country. If something is not done about ZUS it is bad for the country.

This group of parties should have had all of their appointments and positions already discussed and agreed to before the election. There should have been no window for Duda to make the statement that there are two groups claiming a majority. Pressure on Duda could have been leveraged, and he would have looked terrible for not leting this new government organize prior to the next session of the sejm.

That said, I also fear, when the new government gets into the real records of spending and graft, that Poland is in much deeper $hit financially than we could imagine.

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

That really is a striking map of results. Showing how divided the country is on the PiS platform. I think this really shows who, as in groups of people, benefit the most from PiS policies. The new government has a short period of time to get things right. Spring local elections are already being talked about.

News / Time to clean the swamp - dePiSification of Poland [324]

PiS appointee's are in deep $hit. The head of Orlen probably needs to leave the country. This guy is simply criminal. PiS is also now said to be looking to sell off the media companies Orlen purchased before the new government controls them. I hope the new government keeps its promises and does not mess with the social welfare programs, but finds a way to pay for them. The PiS system of placing party loyalists in power and paying them incredible sums of money really looks like the Putin style of government and oligarchism. Poland is in real trouble financially, and this new government needs to figure out something pretty quickly. ZUS is going to be a problem.

And now we know that all those efforts and limitations illegally placed on people did nothing. Sweden proved every idiot scientist on the planet wrong. Florida proved them wrong. And now all the former conspiracy theorists are proven right about MNRA. Even the guy who first developed MNRA is now saying it should not be used for COVID. All the heart damage to young people, and no one can sue because it was experimental vaccine. Yet this experimental vaccine, if you didnt take it, coould have cost you your job, limited your movement or any other list of issues. I got vaccinated, and booster one. Got COVID three times after. Anyone supporting people who support this kind of behavior should be shipped to another planet.

And of course, when someone posts a link the response is [crickets chirping]. Nothing more funny to me when traveling than to see idiots double masking in airports and on planes. Usually the wife is all masked up and the husband has his pulled down below the nose so he can actually breath.

News / Coronavirus in Poland - part 2 [599]

@Alien
The problem is that there are now peer reviewed studies that show the masks did nothing. The lockdowns did nothing. The economies of the world were ruined because people made up science as they went along and nothing was based on facts. The facts now prove, with Pfizer admission, that the vacines are not safe and produce heart confitions, particularly in young men. The facts are that people were manipulated by fascists who wanted control and they gave in to the propaganda even more quickly than Germans did to Hitler.

PiS needs slave labor because ZUS at 42% is killing small business. Poles won't accept lower paying jobs, and they wont work multiple jobs in most cases. I have not heard of anything like this 6000 immigrants arriving in Poland though.

@Cargo pants
PiS has a referendum vote on the immigration issue on this ballot. No way that the immigration the EU wants will take place in Poland. And if Tusk gets in and try's it, he will have a very short term in power. Gay marriage? Not a chance. Civil contracts? Maybe someday.

And you just showed how little you know about the US. The US is a business. Every State is incorporated. The laws are based on the commecial code. The USA and every State in the USA has its own credit rating. If you think this is not about business, big pharma, and special interests around the world, then I pity you.

The left in the US is essentially PiS in sheeps clothing. Government give aways on every street corner. I am a realist, not some idealist. I have kids and grandkids that these issues effect. Tell us all again how many kids and grandkids you have in this? Whats your agenda? And if this is not about the US, and its impact on policy in Poland and the EU, then why is it being discussed? Because in the EU and Poland, no one GAF about this, other than the special interests who need some kind of mission in life.

I dont buy into the election fraud. It didnt happen. I do buy into manipulation of the election. This wont be a republican statement, it will be a statement of the people. The far left is a minority. Take the centrists and the right and you have a big win. It wont be Trump that gets the nomination. I am liking this Indian guy more and more to win.

Isnt it the left that is in power and creating the cultural war while supporting a real war. Not that Ukraine shouldnt be supported, but you need to take off these rose colored hillary glasses you are wearing. Sociopaths? The left is full of them. Term limits. When that happens, the whol game changes. 100K of debt per every living person in the USA with a SSN. How does a business with that amount of debt, and the largest economy operate? They distract with these kind of BS devisive measures and hope to god that idiots buy into supporting them.

Drag show readings in schools are not voluntary if parents do not know in advance and do not have to opportunity to stop them. The placing of pornographic books in 3rd grade libararies without parental knowledge is not voluntary.

Yes, forever Trumpers are also mentally unstable. His message though is now converting those in the middle and slightly left. The conditions in the US are ripe for civil uprising. This is a hot button issue, and when it comes to families, traditional values will always win. It is those traditional values that democracy was built on. Just a little food for thought....

What happens in the worst case scenario, that the US goes into a civil war? What happens to Europe and Ukraine then? Anyone thinking Russia is not drooling over this prospect is not really paying attention. Anyone minimizing this issue, hasn't spent a day in a rural US town lately.

@jon357
I dont see any rants at all. You though, are extreme in your opinions and expersion of them. I look at both sides of the discussion. The vast majority, both left and right, do not think this information should be in schools. It is a minority that wants to oppress the majority of people to further its agenda. You obviously support that oppression.

There is a difference between teaching and indoctrination. Teaching is done through approved curriculum that is made public before implementation. Not through drag show reading, and not through publication and access of graphic books to children.

As usual you avoid addressing the following of mentally ill people. You try to twist the facts to another political agenda and making a statement. When my point is simple. Following a cult like group with obviously mentally ill people, is not exactly smart political or human activism.

@Luke1410
While I agree with some of what you said, your views are just as extreme as the other sides. Fortunately, people and families who do pay taxes, will have a lot to say in the next elections. Those elections will be critical in the US moving forward. A failure to return to the foundations of what America was will likely result in a civil war.

Travel / Being Transgender and visiting Wroclaw [467]

@jon357
Forcing it on people is through forcing children to be indoctrinated in public schools. My tax dollars pay for schools. They pay for education, and not for the transference of opinions on sex, or any of the other created movements. Saying a prayer in a public school is called indoctrination and it is illegal. But giving borderline pronographic books to 8 year olds is somehow ok? Again, no one GAF about what you or anyone else does in their lives. Your hoices are your own. You have no right to force this on people in any place, public or private. Just as much as I have no right to force heterosexual education on 8 yr olds, or to groups of lgbtq people. I have every right to stand up for where my money is spent, and how my children are educated.

You always want to go extreme Karen on these issues. Like all the leftist cult followers in the US. Screaming at people who simply voice their opinion. Putting on a big show, when no one is interested in watching. "Hey look at me" or "hey pay attention to my opinion" or any other combination of words along those lines are what every wokest follower uses. So when those of us say we dont want to look, we dont have to look, and neither do our children you get even more loud and crazy. Again, its all about inclusion until that inclusion brings people with different opinions.

While the United States is not the center of the earth, it is the epicenter of this movement. It is the country that will shape where this movement goes. It is also the only country having this debate on this large of a scale. And it is the country with more mental health emergencies than all the other coutries combined. So, if you want to get behind a movement, make sure its one that is based on science and rational discussion. Not drag shows in schools, or the mutilation of children for profit.

Travel / Being Transgender and visiting Wroclaw [467]

The "trans rise". And that ladies and gentlemen is the label of a movement. A movement not based on discussion, or science. It is a movement based on extremem emotion and wanting to force people to accept things that they by right do not have to accept. Just as much as the "trans rise" people do not have to accept that straight or traditional values people want to raise their families the way they want. Again, all of these people pushing the agenda are crying for inclusion, until that inclusion has people with different opinions. The only opinion they want to hear is their own. Fortunately that is not how the world works.

The problem is the "trans rise" movement forcing it on people. There is an easy solution. Be what you want, where you want, when you want. Dont ask anyone else to accept or pay for what you chose to do because no one has to. Pretty Fing simple.

Now, if the "trans rise" thinks January 6th was extreme, I shutter to think what the United states is coming to if Biden and this whole mess is not swept out in the next election. This "trans rise" is not a global issue. It is an American one for the most part, and the difference in opinions of people in NYC last week and those in Northern and Western NY are completely different. At some point, the craziness has gone to far, and the far left agenda push will get pushed back.

Travel / Being Transgender and visiting Wroclaw [467]

@amiga500
The Trans or more aptly named "identity" movement since anyone can identify as anything today is a mental problem for the vast majority of people it encompasses. I would agree there is a minute segment of people that probably do suffer from some sexual or gender identity crisis. A small portion of people. Most though have psychological problems. Children should never be subjected to this. Parents have an absolute right to what children are taught and what books are in schools.

Why is it this LGBTQ movement gets a month, and Veterans get a day? Why do we have to have this mental disease forced down our throats? Be what you want to be, do what you want to do, in your own home like everyone else. We never cared until you forced it in our faces. All this movement has done is divide people.

But for you jon357, I call you out on your personal messgae to me. Particularly when you messaged me about civility. Then blocked me to message back. You are exactly what is wrong with America. You want diversity, except when that diversity has a different opinion than you do. Then you stoop to being a Karen and lashing out. Should be expected though.

You really have no idea what you are talking about. The woke agenda is being torn down. Keeping children safe from this anti family mental disease gripping weak minded people is excatly what is happening. Are you American jon357? If not when was your last trip to the US? To NY? Having just been there, and going there for a few days each month, in many different cities, my point of view is not colored by rose colored glasses or a ned to be a part of a movement.

I have no hatred at all. I feel sad for all these mentally damaged people, and for those that are buying into this bull$hit. There is no science behind any of it. If your little feelings are hurt because people object to the miltilation and indoctrination of children, then get ready for a lot more hurt feelings. The woke agenda is going to get a wakeup call next November. Kennedy, Trump, DeSantis, Christie or anyone other than the disaster Joe Biden will tear this woke BS down. If this Indian guy gets elected, then you will see some real $hit go down.

Weak minded people are those that follow these weak minded far left leaders. Who ever that is, if the label hurts your feelings, I recommend you take an IQ test, because obviously you think you are smarter than you actually are.

Travel / Being Transgender and visiting Wroclaw [467]

Trans this trans that, pronouns and all the other wokeism in nothing more than a mass mental disease. A minority of mentally confused people, and absolutely disturbed adults trying to spread an ajenda down peoples throats who refuse to buy this bull$hit. Just returning from NY last week, I can say the US in in deep $hit, and this leftist agenda is a cancer. If genetalia has nothing to do with gender, then how can the removal of genetalia "affirm" gender? Unreal that such cult like behavior can grip a segment of society so easily today. Thank god, this has not reached Europe like it has in the US.
