Osiem myśliwców wykona przelot nad Białym Domem, gdy w środę rano prezydent Polski Karol Nawrocki przybędzie do Białego Domu, informuje Fox News.

„Prezydent Trump z niecierpliwością oczekuje powitania prezydenta Nawrockiego w Białym Domu, który niedawno wygrał historyczne wybory w Polsce” – powiedziała rzeczniczka Białego Domu Anna Kelly we wtorkowym oświadczeniu dla Fox News Digital. „Spektakularny przelot będzie okazją do uczczenia pamięci dzielnego polskiego pilota myśliwca, którego życie zostało tragicznie odebrane zbyt wcześnie, i podkreślenia szczególnych relacji między naszymi krajami”.

Cztery myśliwce F-16 mają w środę wykonać formację "brakującego pilota" upamiętniającą zaginionego pilota F-16 Wojska Polskiego, który zginął w sierpniowym wypadku podczas próby pokazu lotniczego w Radomiu.

Dodatkowo, cztery myśliwce F-35 przelecą nad Białym Domem, aby podkreślić relacje między USA a Polską. 

Poland celebrates the 45th anniversary of the signing of the August Agreements

On August 31, 1980, the August Agreements were signed between the emerging Solidarity Trade Union and the Communist government of Poland.

The Strike Committee, representing approximately 800 shops and workplaces on the Gdańsk Coast, formulated 21 demands of a freedom, labor, and economic nature. Among the demands were the possibility of establishing independent trade unions, which later helped collapse communism in Eastern Europe.

Today, a ceremonial meeting of the Gdańsk Regional Board of the NSZZ "Solidarity" Trade Union took place in the historic BHP Hall of the Gdańsk Shipyard, with the participation of, among others, President Karol Nawrocki.

At the beginning of his speech marking the 45th anniversary of the signing of the August Agreements, the President thanked the heroes of Solidarity for enabling him to live in a free Poland. He emphasized that in August 1980, at the BHP Hall, "something exceptional happened, something that generations of Poles have been waiting for."

"Today, Poland thanks those hundreds of thousands and millions who stood on the right side of the August 1980 Revolution. We will continue to stand up for them," he declared.

"Solidarity refused to be confined to a museum. This isn't just about the anniversary and national memory. In contemporary Poland, we must continue to sear our homeland and the globe with our conscience, recalling the values ​​that brought Solidarity victory," he said.

"Unfortunately, even today in Poland, we live in times when those who fought for our freedom, who took risks, who were imprisoned and interned, often live worse lives than those who fought against (our) freedom."

Revenge for revealing the truth. Indictments in the "Vistula Line" case have been filed with the court

 The prosecutor's office, still headed by Adam Bodnar, has charged former Minister of National Defense Mariusz Błaszczak with exceeding his authority for declassifying, as Minister of National Defense, fragments of the Plan for the Use of the Polish Armed Forces (WARTA-00101) in July 2023 and publicly disclosing them in September 2023. This plan is a 2011 document concerning methods of defense against a potential Russian attack. Błaszczak then revealed that the Civic Platform party, during its rule, planned to defend the country along the Vistula River in the event of an invasion and surrender half of the country to the attacker.

Shocking facts were also revealed in the documentary series "Reset." The indictment included the series' co-creator, Sławomir Cenckiewicz, currently head of the National Security Bureau. 

Agnieszka Glapiak, the current chairwoman of the National Broadcasting Council, and Piotr Z. (formerly director of the Ministry of National Defense's Strategy and Planning Department) are also expected to be charged.

PN: The government's actions won't erase the fact that we now know what they were planning. To me, and there are others like me, they were about to commit treason.

Sąd apelacyjny w Nowym Jorku oddalił karę w wysokości 500 mln dolarów nałożoną na Trumpa

 Sąd apelacyjny odrzucił karę w wysokości 500 milionów dolarów nałożoną rok temu na byłego prezydenta Donalda Trumpa w związku z oszustwem cywilnym w głośnej sprawie wniesionej przez prokurator generalną Nowego Jorku Letitię James.

Sąd Apelacyjny Nowego Jorku uchylił karę, orzekając, że zwrot nienależnie uzyskanych korzyści był nadmierną grzywną, naruszającą Ósmą Poprawkę do Konstytucji. 

Panel podtrzymał ustalenia, że ​​Trump i jego firma ponoszą odpowiedzialność, potwierdzając, że James działała w ramach swoich uprawnień i że nakaz sądowy mający na celu ograniczenie praktyk Trump Organization był właściwy.

Orzeczenie nie narusza odpowiedzialności, ale eliminuje ogromną karę finansową.
