Republican disobedience to the president

The Awakening of America

For the first time since Donald Trump's re-election, a majority of the party opposed him, feeling that his priorities - like the ballroom or the Anti-Abuse Fund - called into question what is at the core of the president's political project

Uncertain negotiations between the US and Iran

A new America

The epic rage against the theocratic, authoritarian regime in Tehran spills over to NATO allies, Democrats, the Pope and MAGA influencers, who are largely responsible for the rise of Donald Trump. It is spreading to anyone who disagrees with the president on the war with Iran, the consequences of which are beginning to be felt by the American people.

How American citizens see the conflict with Iran

War without allies

Preoccupied with the beauty and concerns of everyday life, American citizens do not delve too deeply into the complex, historical explanations of the nature of the conflicts in which their country is involved. All this clearly shows how distant the war is from the lives of ordinary people, which will remain unchanged until it begins to directly affect them. And that point is not so far away

Dealing with illegal immigrants in the US

Between humanity and the law

While the state administration makes a sharp turn and softens the rhetoric surrounding the murders of two citizens in Minnesota, in American society there is a silent struggle between the principles of humanity and the enforcement of immigration laws, because behind every arrest of those who do not have permission to stay, there are broken families, broken communities and fragments of the American dream.

Balkan food in America's largest city

Hats from Manhattan

Although there are more Serbian restaurants than Madagascar, Trinidad and Laos combined, prunes stuffed with walnuts, combined with chicken liver wrapped in bacon, surpass the usual culinary offer of New York, which has more restaurants than the inhabitants of Loznica or Sombor

A democratic socialist at the head of capitalist New York

Spring is in November.

Although it is difficult to find two more opposing political concepts, Trump's and Mamdani's vision of America are partially compatible. Where the president's mantra about treacherous elites ends, the mayor's concern for ordinary people begins; what the president calls Mamdani's "communism" begins exactly where, according to the mayor, Trump's project of "racial domination" wrapped in "economic populism" ends

Interview: Siniša Vuković, professor at "Johns Hopkins" University

Political violence is changing its nature

"Divisions in the USA are no longer primarily based on disagreement over policies, but on deep animosity and mistrust towards the other party, which is dehumanized and seen as the main problem and not as a social factor with which to seek solutions to common problems. Supporters of one party not only disagree with the other party, but perceive it as immoral, unintelligent and fundamentally evil. When the political opponent is not seen as a legitimate competitor, but as an existential one threat, the existing rules of the democratic game not only lose their importance, but are replaced by radical measures"

America

Cancellation of cancellations

The murder of Charlie Kirk is a turning point in the history of the country, considering that a large part of the Republican establishment wants to go a step further than what they themselves were exposed to in previous years: in dealing with dissidents, state institutions are used

America: Media silence about the protests in Serbia

Serbian role model for America

Until CNN sends its team to Belgrade, there are no signs of political change in Serbia. Despite the fact that at times the country seems to be on the brink of civil strife, this media house is rarely late

The "Epstein" case shook the Republican rule

Trump's deep state

At a time when there is no serious response from the opposition in America, the White House is under attack from those who brought the current president to power and are demanding the publication of the entire file of Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced billionaire.

A deceptive victory for the Trump administration

Justice for the rich

Since money has more value in America than in other parts of the world, budget allocation is not only a matter of the functioning of the state, but a matter of the priorities of those in power. The rich will have more, the poor even less, and all together will be more in debt than before

America and Trump 2.0

Holiday silences

Neither those who wear t-shirts with the inscription "God, Guns and Trump" have anything to say to those who turn their heads away from them, nor do they want to talk to people whom they consider not only to have a problem with their political beliefs, but also with their basic moral values.

The Trump Administration vs. the Judiciary

Pain after suffering

It is clear why political opponents are calling for resistance, but it does not seem that those who brought the current president to power are too happy about everything that is happening in the country, because the choice is extremely simple: either the president will respect the laws, or the laws cease to apply. There is no third

Life in Trump's America

Time for a big reset

The citizens only wanted a lower cost of living, respect for their needs, and not to bump into groups of immigrants on the streets who were thrown off a bus with license plates from faraway Texas. Instead, they got a social, economic and political upheaval that no one knows where it will lead to

United States

How Donald Trump devotes himself to democracy

The new administration is going full steam ahead with massive layoffs, dismantling federal agencies and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs, arguing that ability must be the sole criterion for hiring. However, for management positions, loyalty is favored as the main criterion for the selection of new staff, while their qualifications are completely ignored.

Trump is back at the helm of the USA

Nothing will ever be the same again.

Not only the country got a new head of the White House, but the most powerful country in the world has a president in front of whom there are no longer any institutional obstacles to achieve what he set out to do. If he implements only part of what he announces, radical changes await America and the world, Trump's wars are not only political, but cultural and historical.

Preparations for the replacement at the head of the White House

A rebellion against corporate America

Political violence has become part of everyday life. The social media celebration of the killing of the CEO of a leading health insurance company, as well as the support for Trump's takeover team, come from the same source where the right questions are given the wrong answers.

America after the presidential election

Fear of ourselves

Trump is not an anomaly or a passing phenomenon, as it seemed when he left the White House at the end of his first term. He is the majority of America. Now that all the levers of power are in Trump's hands, the people of America are left to wonder what this choice says about themselves. If he is the best political leader, what a country it is

America in the election

"Communist" against "fascist"

While Donald Trump is following the well-trodden path of inciting popular discontent, using more and more profanity and profanity in recent days, Kamala Harris turned on his personality, given that he revealed his unbalanced nature, narcissistic urges and penchant for bizarre conspiracy theories even during the presidential debate. , which is exactly what the Democrats have always said about him

The overheated language of the US presidential campaign

Rattling hard words

Donald Trump believes that only theft or his death can prevent victory in the elections. The Democrats stand much more firmly on the ground. The party will recognize the results of the election, but that does not mean that those who see the Republican leader as an existential threat to the country will accept it.

Investigation into the new assassination of Trump

The man someone wants to kill

Although the names of two candidates are on the ballot, this is the declaration of the American citizens about Donald Trump. Not only the prices at "Walmart", where the majority of the population gets their supplies, will depend on the November vote, but also what their country will look like.

Kamala Harris, the new hope of the Democrats

In the footsteps of Joe Biden

While the globalist structure of the world is collapsing, the geopolitical scene is rapidly changing and the basic tenets of neoliberalism are being called into question, the presidential candidate does not hint in a single word about the path America will take, except for repeating her unreserved support for Ukraine in protection from Russian aggression, Israel's right to defend itself, while supporting the Palestinians to decide their own fate. There is a clear insistence on continuing along the current path, regardless of the fact that all surveys show that American citizens are extremely dissatisfied with the direction their country is taking

The assassination of Trump and the consequences

Regardless of party affiliation, the citizens of America were faced with a very simple, but not so pleasant question: if one lone young man was on the verge of carrying out his intention and killing the presidential candidate, what could the others expect? The answer will certainly affect who will be the new president of the country.

Calls for Biden to withdraw from the campaign

Personal limitations as a social, state and global problem

America's problem is not only the autocratic ideas of Donald Trump and his MAGA movement, which has become more radical than its creator, but also the authoritarianism in the circles of those who are loyal to the current president Joe Biden and reject any possibility of discussing another presidential candidate.

Historic judgment against Donald Trump

Revenge on the avenger

Whether they are among those who love, hate, or ignore Donald Trump, the American people have found themselves faced with an unanswered question: how did their country get to the point where the candidate for the new head of the White House is a man who has been convicted of a crime for secret payments to a porn actress

Protests by American students

The announcement of a new world

As in Gaza, miles away, where the war that has sparked the largest student protests in America since 1968 is raging, it is currently unclear where whose territory is. Although the authorities of academic institutions have regained control of the universities, luck is extremely elusive in these circumstances, academics have been attacked by various uniformed figures around the world, but students have not lost a single battle so far, especially not in democratic states based on freedom of speech and assembly.
