Poland’s Globalist PM Says Reagan ‘Turning in His Grave’ Over Ukraine Funding.

The newly installed Polish Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, said Republicans in the United States Senate opposed to a new $60 billion round of funding for Ukraine should be ashamed of themselves. Tusk added the late U.S. President Ronald Reagan would be “turning in his grave.”

Senate Republicans — joined by several Democrats — successfully blocked a Ukraine/U.S. Border supplemental funding bill over several provisions that would have actually weakened U.S. border security. Responding to the supplemental bill’s defeat on X (formerly Twitter), Tusk said: “Dear Republican Senators of America. Ronald Reagan, who helped millions of us to win back our freedom and independence, must be turning in his grave today.”

Following parliamentary elections last October, Poland’s right-wing Law and Justice Party lost its outright majority in the legislative body. For nearly two months, Law and Justice attempted to form a governing majority. However, on December 11th, the party’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki lost a ‘no confidence’ vote — and power. Tusk was elected Prime Minister hours after his Civic Coalition — an alliance of globalist interests and left-wing parties — successfully formed a coalition government.

The Tusk government in Poland moved swiftly against anyone even seen as sympathetic to the Law and Justice Party. He fired the leadership of the country’s public radio and television stations and shut the entities down. Tusk also ordered Polish police to storm the Presidential Palace to arrest two former Law and Justice government ministers despite both having received pardons from President Andrzej Duda, who is aligned with Law and Justice. U.S. President Joe Biden approved of Tusk’s actions against Law and Justice, according to Poland’s Minister of Justice, Adam Bodnar.

Although Senate Republicans blocked the Ukraine/U.S. Border supplemental bill, a standalone bill providing aid for Ukraine and Israel advanced through the Senate on Thursday with significant Republican support.

DATA: ‘Elite One Percent’ in U.S. Hold Radical, Anti-American Values.

A new poll released this week suggests that the growth of radical left-wing authoritarianism in America is being driven solely by the country’s wealthiest citizens. Research by Scott Rasmussen has revealed a yawning gulf between regular Americans and “the elite one percent” — people living in densely populated urban centers with postgraduate degrees and a household income over $150,000.

Polling found that, relative to Americans at large, this group was much more Democrat, much more authoritarian, and much more willing to cheat to win elections.

Only 21 percent of elites told the pollster there is “not enough” individual freedom in America, while 47 percent said there is “too much.” This compares to 57 percent of voters overall who think there is “not enough” individual freedom, and just 16 percent who think there is “too much.”

Seventy-seven percent of elites said they would like to impose “restrictions and rationing” on private citizens’ access to gas, electricity, and even meat. In comparison, 63 percent of voters overall opposed such measures. Most elites also favored banning gas-powered vehicles, gas-burning stoves, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), “non-essential” air travel, and private air conditioning to fight “climate change.”

Rasmussen said his most “terrifying” finding was the proportion of elites who admitted they “would rather cheat than lose a close election.” Support for cheating stands at just seven percent among all voters but at 35 percent among elites — and an astonishing 69 percent among a subset of elites Rasmussen designated as “politically obsessed,” discussing politics daily.

The polling also found that Joe Biden has much stronger support among elites than the general population. Elites also have a much higher opinion of lawmakers, journalists, and professors, and more trust in government officials in general.

Their priorities are very different from the average American’s, with most voters listing border security and immigration among their top two or three issues. Not one elite respondent listed the border or immigration as a concern.

Biden Regime Signals Its Approval of Poland’s New Globalist Govt Jailing Its Opponents.

Poland’s Minister of Justice, Adam Bodnar, says Joe Biden’s White House “positively assesses” authoritarian measures taken by the country’s new, globalist government to restore what they euphemistically term “the rule of law.”

In the past few weeks, Poland’s new globalist Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, has shut down state television and radio, firing the conservatives appointed to it under the previous government. A judge has deemed this move unlawful, but Tusk is pressing on with the “reforms.”

Tusk has also had the former interior minister, Mariusz Kamiński, and his deputy Maciej Wąsik jailed and expelled from the Sejm – roughly equivalent to the U.S. House of Representatives. They were dragged to prison from the presidential palace, despite having been issued with pardons by President Andrzej Duda. The authoritarian move sparked mass protests in Warsaw this week.

“I am glad that Ambassador Mark Brzezinski positively assesses the ministry’s activities leading to the restoration of the rule of law in Poland,” Bodnar boasted in an official statement, after meeting with U.S. Ambassador Brzezinski.

Brzezinski is the brother of MSNBC morning host Mika Brzezinski and Bush-era appointee Ian Brzezinski. The three are the offspring of Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski.

Tusk’s regime, backed by the EU, is also attempting to disregard all the judicial appointments and reforms of the previous government, ignoring decisions by the Constitutional Tribunal and by Supreme Court judges it dislikes.

The U.S. Embassy has been actively funding globalist-left politics in Poland, providing grants to a nonprofit that brought illegal aliens to meet the Sejm’s new globalist speaker, for example.

GLOBALISM UNHINGED: Cops Storm Poland’s Presidential Palace to Arrest Conservative Politicians.

Police in Poland have stormed the nation’s presidential palace, still occupied by conservative Andrzej Duda. Cops took two ministers from the former Law and Justice (PiS) government to prison this week, despite the fact they had been awarded presidential pardons.

New globalist Prime Minister Donald Tusk, alongside the new Marshal (Speaker) of the Sejm (Legislature) Szymon Hołownia, have moved swiftly to persecute members of the former, right-wing government in moves similar to the Biden pursuit of Donald Trump.

Hołownia referred former interior minister and deputy interior minister Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik to a chamber of the Supreme Court friendly to the new government, which ruled the pardons they previously received for “abuse of power” were invalid.

The pair are accused of exceeding their powers in the 2000s, when Kamiński headed the Central Anticorruption Bureau. Their party, Law and Justice, are calling them “political prisoners” who are being punished for fighting corruption.

Another chamber of the Supreme Court, importantly, has ruled their pardons were valid, while the Constitutional Tribunal has ruled the Supreme Court had no authority to review presidential pardoning powers in the first place.

Nevertheless, law enforcement felt forced to cooperate with Tusk, and though Kamiński and Wąsik holed up in the presidential palace under President Duda’s protection, officers entered when the President left to attend a meeting and dragged the duo to jail. Kamiński is now believed to be on hunger strike.

Poland is now in a full-blown constitutional crisis. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Małgorzata Manowska, appointed by Law and Justice, is accusing Hołownia and the Supreme Court judge who ruled against the ministers of “illegal actions” that “constitute a significant violation of the legal order”.

So long as the European Union backs Tusk and the state authorities choose to enforce his agenda, Law and Justice and its supporters have little recourse beyond direct action, with protests already underway.
