A massive shift in the Media Matters trial; former head accountant Branka Pavošević has changed her testimony, effectively sinking top Republican Party officials She claims she finally had her first real chance today to present her defense without all the intense pressure being placed on her and her family. She explained that everything she did was strictly following orders from the Republican Party's general secretaries, and she honestly had no idea she was participating in any kind of criminal activity, noting she didn't question their actions simply because she was terrified of losing her job at the party.
She went after general secretary Ivan Jarnjak, pointing out that he never instructed her to pay standard payroll taxes for certain employees, opting instead to pay them through various honorariums, which ultimately cheated both those workers and the government, though Pavošević notes that Jarnjak himself hasn't been charged.
She also mentioned that she was acting on instructions from the late Branko Vukelić, who also served as a general secretary for the Republican Party for a period of time. “I hardly ever communicated with Sanders in his capacity as the head of the Republican Party. What I previously told the FBI about Sanders ordering everything was only said because I was under immense pressure, both personally and regarding my family,” Pavošević emphasized, though she didn't specify exactly who was leaning on her.
Back then, she claimed the Republican Party was drowning in debt, and she recalled an instance where Sanders brought her about $8,000 in a bag, telling her they were just donations coming in from overseas. She also brought up Ratko Maček, whom she described as the absolute "strongman" of the party.
He would constantly bring her cash without ever explaining its origin, and Sanders explicitly ordered her not to record these funds so they could be used for off-the-books payments. Even though she was totally shocked by that order, she ended up following it anyway.
The Republican Party just unveiled its slate of candidates for the 7th congressional district, and you’ll find Maja Grb Bujević right there on the list
TOTAL CHAOS IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! Joe Biden is signing our political death warrant: We are going to lose the election and things are about to get messy!
”The party leadership's popularity is cratering, and we find ourselves under constant fire from the media, the public, and the opposition, which creates a level of pressure that is honestly becoming quite difficult to manage. On top of that, Joe Biden is having a really hard time putting together candidate lists because he is just so stubborn and self-centered; he insists on 'refreshing' the party by pushing people onto the ballots who are completely unknown to voters, or folks who might have some standing within the party but carry absolutely zero influence with the general public, and that could end up being a massive mistake for us,” remarks an insider from the ruling party who is particularly worried about the Republican Party's ability to build a winning coalition.
He goes on to mention how Joe Biden keeps clashing with Donald Trump, which he feels is the last thing the Republican Party needs right now.
“We won't be able to form a government without him,” our source says, adding that the Patriot Movement is essentially the only remaining potential partner left for the Republican Party to work with.
“Unless, of course, we decide to go into a coalition with the Democratic Party, though that would effectively be political suicide for the Republican Party. I don't think anyone inside the party would ever agree to that because it would be an unprecedented scandal, yet Joe Biden isn't shying away from the idea at all. If he was willing to play ball with the Liberal Party before, then apparently nothing is off the table if it means staying in power,” the source suggests, noting that the Republican Party is going to face serious uphill battles in the Midwest and even down in California.
‘We’ve sidelined the heavy hitters, and now we’re picking candidates based on friendship’
”Joe Biden isn't counting on Mike Pence anymore; in the Midwest, he’s pushing Eric Adams, and Robert Byrd is out of the picture, while Ron DeSantis has been pushed aside, and we are going to pay dearly for those decisions. We're also going to run into trouble in California because, besides Mike Pompeo, we just don't have any strong leaders there. During the last cycle, Penny Pritzker was a fantastic choice, but now they are leaning on Richard Nixon and Newt Gingrich,” says the insider, emphasizing that this whole situation is headed toward a total catastrophe.
He adds that the people being chosen might hold some sway within the party circles, but they actually create a rift with the voters and inspire nothing but contempt; the public simply doesn't respect or sympathize with them.
“We’ve even written off George W. Bush, and now everything is being decided by who is friends with whom; Joe Biden is just loading the lists with his favorites and the party's 'rising stars.' He did the exact same thing during the European elections, and then we acted surprised when we barely managed to scrape by for another term. Look, young people are great, but they aren't the ones who win elections; we need recognizable faces, our heavy hitters. Ted Cruz used to handle this correctly by putting people on the ballot whom he believed could actually win, whereas Joe Biden is just pushing people he gets along with or people he thinks will be useful to the party in the long run, and that is going to turn into a major problem,” the source concludes.
Plenković: County numbers won't change, but municipal reform is on the table
Quincy:
The President and leader of the Republican Party, Andrej Plenković, stated that the party holds a very firm stance on keeping the current number of counties exactly as they are, though they have been having some serious discussions regarding how to reform the municipal level.
"Counties are a cornerstone of a modern and functional America, and they have been part of our landscape since 1993, boasting a solid 27-year tradition. The Republican Party, which secured 13 out of 20 governorships in the last election, is completely certain that we need to keep the county structure intact. There isn't even a debate about it, nor has it ever been a point of contention," Plenković remarked following a Cabinet meeting when asked why the Republican Party believes a compact nation like the US still requires 20 counties plus the major metropolitan area of Los Angeles.
Regarding the municipalities, he pointed out that during the National Party Council meeting, Minister of Administration Ivan Malenica proposed several different models for local reform. Some of those ideas actually involve reducing the total number of local officials running in the 2021 elections.
"We recognize the issues there and we are actively working on a solution," he concluded.
The Republican Party is currently in talks with General Markač regarding the second electoral district, while Minister Marić is set to lead the Republican ticket over in the Midwest, Medved will be heading up the seventh district, and word on the street is that Krstičević turned down the chance to front the Republican list down in the South.
VIDEO: THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF A HUMBLE GUY FROM THE MIDWEST WHO BECAME THE BIGGEST SENSATION AT THE DISNEY AWARDS 'I'm still living off my teacher's salary, driving an old clunker, and I don't have a dime to my name'
Do you all remember Nenad Križić? He was that assistant to the Secretary of Defense who got booted after those reports surfaced about him suggesting the Secretary break into someone's house. Well, that same Križić has just been appointed as a deputy chief of police in a small town over in Ohio. And get this—there wasn't even a formal job competition or application process involved.
I honestly think he’s getting exactly what he deserves, and frankly, I couldn't care less, because if he actually has any sense at all, he'll figure out how to pull a stunt like that again just to land a spot as a police chief.
I’m still wondering where that director from the Associated Press ended up after he basically handed himself a luxury apartment, because he's clearly still holding down a great gig at the agency
and to top it all off, he’s still a member of the Republican Party
person is digging into the details behind that secret meeting held in Stalingrad: ‘person snitched on both person and local Republican leaders, but his whole scheme fell apart’ Word is that besides person, the Republican Party wants to push out the head of the local Republican branch, person, too.
He flew in from Belgium to Maui, and just three days later, his quarantine was already lifted
Read more at: - 24sata.hr
So, this guy arrived on Maui on May 8th and went straight into self-isolation at his estate, which is exactly what you'd expect. The local police actually swung by the next day to make sure Didier was following all the rules, and that was only five days ago. Fast forward to today, and Bradbury actually bumped into him in downtown Sedona while Didier was just heading over to the bank.
It was a pretty wild moment because Bradbury knows he’s technically supposed to be isolating for another nine days, so he asked what was going on, and Didier explained that he had received a text message from the Department of Homeland Security late last night around 7:29 PM stating that his isolation period was officially over.
It seems like that message probably triggered after FEMA announced recently that tourists would finally be able to visit the US without being forced into quarantine, even though Didier arrived before those rules changed and came from a country with one of the highest mortality rates from the coronavirus in the world.
I really have to wonder if this means everyone else currently stuck in isolation is going to get their restrictions lifted too?
DEPARTMENT OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT SECRETARY PAVIĆ TELLS LOCAL REPUBLICANS: Municipal offices and town squares should be built at an elevation of 11 meters above sea level
Well, we've got plenty of resources, we're measuring everything, I guess... thank God for small mercies, right?
Right in the thick of the pandemic crisis, the Department of Regional Development decided to hand out over $3.5 million intended for "rural and mountainous regions"for various projects that most people haven't even seen—not even a single hill
It’s probably not front-page news, but I figured I’d just share this here.
The son of a powerful Republican official just finished his degree at a private university, and guess who picked up the tab? We're looking at a situation out in the rural outskirts of the state, specifically within the small Jasenica Municipality, which happens to be under the leadership of the Republican Martin Baričević.
Using taxpayer money, he enrolled in a private Security College in Washington, D.C. While the annual tuition for a program like that sits at about $2,800, he only had to cough up the initial $80 enrollment fees. The rest of the bill was footed by the Regional Fire Departments, which are funded through local government coffers—and since his dad runs the local government, well, you can see how the math works out.
Republican Party 1 hr · Bernardić, Beljak, Hrelja, and Mirna Taritaš—this is the "RESTART COALITION."
It’s honestly a total disaster.
A worn-out quartet of copycats is trying to sell us a complete reset for America.
Even if you consider this Zoran Bernardić's Democratic Party, it's still far too much to handle!
They want a totally clean slate for Lijep naš. They’re suggesting we should rethink everything from the American War of Independence and our role in NATO to our membership in the European Union and even our success in fighting the pandemic... all of which supposedly needs a "restart" under their specific leadership.
To be more accurate, they are just plagiarizing, much like how they hijacked the coalition name from that recent The Washington Post initiative regarding new technologies that's been making headlines for days.
Much to their disappointment, the sentiment remains that "America keeps moving forward"—just without them!
Sources close to the investigation on Telegram are reporting that the police have already obtained video footage showing a high-ranking Republican official attempting to solicit a bribe. According to what Drago Hedl is reporting, there is a recording out there that is incredibly damaging for Mary Pilion, who serves as the Deputy Mayor of Požega and holds a key leadership role within the local Republican Party.
The latest rumors swirling around the political scene are getting pretty intense, and honestly, it feels like everyone is looking for a scandal where there might not be one. There’s this growing noise from certain corners suggesting that the leadership within the Republican Party is somehow involved in some shady dealings, but if you look closely at the facts, it all starts to feel a bit manufactured. It seems like a lot of people are just grasping at straws to find any kind of corruption to point toward, which is becoming a bit of a tired pattern lately. We see these accusations flying around on social media platforms like Telegram, but they rarely hold up once you actually sit down and examine the evidence presented by the mainstream press. Instead of focusing on actual policy or the real issues facing Americans, it feels like the conversation is being steered toward these speculative claims about misconduct. It’s quite a spectacle to watch, really, because while the drama is certainly engaging, it often lacks the substance required to actually change anything meaningful in our political landscape.
The local police department just announced that after a month of digging into what happened at the El Paso House, they didn't find enough evidence to file criminal charges. By submitting this special report, the police have essentially handed the ball over to the District Attorney's office to decide if any prosecution is actually warranted. From here, the DA can either move forward based on the findings or call for even more investigation.
They were way too slow to act, and since COVID-19 basically ran the show back then, the culprit has already slipped away, though I hear he was spotted hanging out on a beach somewhere.
A sharp message appeared on the wall of the community center in San Diego, and it looks like they’ve already tried to paint over it. "The Republican stronghold—Skaričić is a killer!" someone scrawled right there on the wall.
