Trump Loyalists Dig In Heels in Louisiana Parish
ST. BERNARD PARISH, LOUISIANA – While national polls show Donald Trump’s support slipping during the prolonged pandemic and amid racial unrest, the president’s most ardent supporters in bedrock Republican-backing states like Louisiana remain doggedly in his corner. “I have no doubt I’m voting to reelect Donald Trump this year,” says Robert Caretto, a retired firefighter who moved to Louisiana to help rebuild homes after Hurricane Katrina.

(Photo courtesy Robert Caretto)Caretto lives in St. Bernard Parish, a collection of small communities sandwiched between swamps, the Mississippi River and lakes that lead to the Gulf of Mexico. Its towns are quieter, less diverse and significantly more conservative than the nearby city of New Orleans.
Nearly 60% of New Orleans’ residents are Black, compared to about 20% in St. Bernard Parish. And while 15% of New Orleans voters cast their ballot for Donald Trump in 2016, a whopping 65% in St. Bernard Parish voted for him.
“You don’t have to be the most likeable to be a great president,” says local Trump supporter Melody Riley. “It’s not a personality contest. He has shown great strength and leadership at every rally, debate and press conference. He has called out the fake news and has revealed their deceptions to the American people.”
“There’s no changing people’s minds about him here,” laughs Bridget Bitely, an independent voter in St. Bernard parish who says she did not vote for the president in 2016 and will not be voting for him in 2020, “This is definitely Trump country.”
Cracks in the base According to Gallup polling, the percentage of Americans who approve of the job Trump has done as President dropped from 49% on April 28 to 38% on June 30. The RealClearPolitics average of polls shows presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden leading Trump in six states Trump won in 2016: Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Most troubling for the President is that support appears to be waning from key constituencies that propelled him to victory four years ago, including evangelical Christians, Catholics and white voters lacking a college degree.
These pro-Trump demographic groups weigh heavily in Louisiana’s electorate, but Robert Collins, professor of Urban Studies and Public Policy at Dillard University in New Orleans, says local factors keep Louisiana Republicans loyal to Trump, even as his base erodes elsewhere.
“Even though they might be unhappy with aspects of his COVID response, or with his handling of the economy in recent months,” Collins says, “they’re not going to jump ship because they’re scared to death of electing a Democrat. Biden is pro-gun [control] and he’s pro-choice. In a state of hunters and Roman Catholics, those issues are deal breakers.”
President Donald Trump greets supporters on arriving at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, in Kenner, La.Two-tiered support Louisiana State University political scientist James Garand sees two main categories of Trump supporters.
“You have his most ardent supporters who will support the President under almost all circumstances, and then you have his lukewarm supporters,” Garand says. Those lukewarm supporters, he explains, might have voted for Trump in 2016 because they despised Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton or out of concern over a specific issue, like control of the Supreme Court.
“But Louisiana is more conservative than many other places in the country,” he adds. “My sense is that we have a higher percentage of those ardent supporters here than elsewhere.”
Additionally, voters who have soured on Trump may be hesitant to speak out. “Peer pressure from the ardent Trump supporters in their communities might push them back toward supporting the President, or at least force them to keep their support of another candidate private,” Garand says. Megan Chriss says she voted for the billionaire New York real estate businessman in 2016 but will not vote for him in 2020. (Photo courtesy Megan Chriss)Not so for Megan Chriss. She says she voted for the billionaire New York real estate businessman in 2016 because she didn’t see Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state, as authentic. She adds that her family and many in her community work in the oil industry, and that Trump’s policies were more oil-friendly.
After watching him for nearly four years in office, however, the St. Bernard parish resident says she won’t be voting for him again.
“But I don’t know of a single person other than myself who has changed their mind on him,” she says. “After his lack of leadership with the COVID pandemic, and the way he throws fuel on the fire with the police brutality protests and riots, I guess I’m surprised I don’t know of at least a few more people who switched away from him.”
Caretto acknowledges Trump has made mistakes but believes the president is being held to an unfair standard by his detractors.
“Do I think he’s perfect?” asks Caretto. “Of course, I don’t. But what President doesn’t make mistakes? Who could stop a global pandemic? And now Democrats are blaming him for that somehow.” Supporters hold up signs as President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally in Bossier City, La., Nov. 14, 2019.Trump Country Caretto’s argument is often heard among Trump supporters. While they may take issue with Trump’s brashness, they also feel the results he gets benefit them and the country.
“I think he’s full of himself and I wish he’d tweet less,” says commercial fisherman George Barisich, “but America needed someone like this. We were pushovers after the Obama years, and maybe we needed a tough guy like Trump to stand up for us.” Commercial fisherman George Barisich says America needs someone like President Trump. (Photo courtesy George Barisich)Melody Riley says she admires Trump’s tenacity and believes he is mistreated by Democrats and the news media.
“I feel he handled COVID-19 as good as any president could have,” she says. “There’s nothing he could do that isn’t criticized. He could cure cancer and he’d still be ripped apart for it.”
At 70-years-old, Caretto is not quite as glowing with his evaluation of Trump’s COVID response. He says he’s been forced to stay inside for most of the last four months and wishes the President had pushed harder for people to wear masks.
But such criticism isn’t likely to cost Trump a substantial number of votes in Louisiana, according political observers in the state, where for many people pulling the lever for a Democrat is unthinkable.
Riley and other like-minded Louisiana Republicans are adamant that there’s no viable alternative to Trump.
“The American people aren’t stupid,” she says, “You’d have to be crazy to vote for a Democrat.”

Борг «Суспільного» перед «Євроньюз» повністю закритий – Аласанія
Борг Національної суспільної телерадіокомпанії України перед компанією «Євроньюз» повністю закритий, повідомив голова правління НСТУ Зураб Аласанія у Facebook.
«Одна з найкритичніших проблем «Суспільного», котру, як і проблему «Ери-Деркача», дуже не хотілося б залишати в спадок наступним управлінцям (хоч ті проблеми спадком «Суспільному» і дістались) – борг АТ «Євроньюз». 10,5 мільйонів євро. Так ось: не залишимо; борг повністю закрито», – написав Аласанія.
Він зазначив, що весь бюджет НСТУ на 29 каналів у 2020 році становить 40,3 мільйона євро.
«АТ «Євроньюз» негайно розпочало процедуру відкликання свого позову і розблокування в банку Швейцарії заарештованої у 2017 році суми розміром у 15 млн євро («страхова» гарантія для проведення «Євробачення-2017», що мала по завершенню «Євробачення» одразу повернутися в Україну, але була заморожена АТ «Євроньюз» в забезпечення свого позову)», – заявив Аласанія.
Він сподівається, що після отримання цих грошей уряд «зможе і захоче» компенсувати «Суспільному» хоч частину витрат на погашення боргу перед «Євроньюз».
18 лютого відділ примусового виконання рішень Департаменту державної виконавчої служби Міністерства юстиції України наклав арешти задля примусового стягнення з ПАТ «НСТУ» на користь АТ «Євроньюз» боргу в розмірі 10,5 млн євро. Рахунки розблокували 3 червня. Після цього НСТУ зобов’язалася погасити борг, який отримала в спадок від Національної телекомпанії України.

Dozens of US Universities Support Challenge to Trump’s Order on Foreign Students
About 60 U.S. universities on Sunday filed a brief supporting a lawsuit by two others, seeking to block a Trump administration rule barring foreign students from remaining in the country if educational institutions don’t hold in-person classes this fall.The lawsuit was filed by Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on Wednesday in a federal court in Boston.The so-called amicus brief — a supporting document submitted by interested parties — was filed by 59 U.S. universities on Sunday, including seven other Ivy League schools.The universities said they relied on federal guidance, which was to remain “in effect for the duration of the emergency,” allowing international students to attend all-online courses during the pandemic, according to the amicus brief.”The emergency persists, yet the government’s policy has suddenly and drastically changed, throwing amici’s preparations into disarray and causing significant harm and turmoil,” they added.About 1.1 million foreign students attended U.S. higher education institutions in the 2018-19 school year, according to a report by the State Department and the Institute of International Education (IIE), and they made up 5.5 percent of the entire U.S. higher education enrollment.The Trump administration announcement blindsided academic institutions grappling with the challenges of safely resuming classes as the coronavirus pandemic continues unabated around the world and surges in the United States.The U.S government has been trying to get schools and universities to reopen by autumn. Harvard has already announced it would hold all classes online that term.

US Education Chief Presses for Reopening of Schools
U.S. education chief Betsy DeVos on Sunday pressed local communities throughout the country to reopen schools with five-day-a-week, in-person instruction in the coming weeks, saying it was entirely safe even as the number of coronavirus cases surges to new highs. DeVos, in appearances on talk shows on Fox News and CNN, disputed advice from health experts and state and local government officials against full resumption of in-school classes that have mostly been shut down since March as the coronavirus pandemic swept across the country. The U.S. is now recording 60,000 or more cases a day, often new daily highs over the last week. “Getting back to learning is really imperative,” DeVos told the “Fox News Sunday” show. “Nothing in the data suggests that’s it’s in any way dangerous,” noting that scientists do not believe children transmit the virus anywhere near as often as adults do. “Kids don’t get this virus the same way,” she said. DeVos told CNN, “The go-to needs to be kids in schools. Schools need to get open.” She allowed, however, that in communities where there are virus flareups, virtual online learning could be employed “for a few days.” She told Fox News, “Where there are hot spots, we’ll have to deal with that.” FILE – A classroom sits empty ahead of the statewide school closures in Ohio in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus, inside Milton-Union Exempted Village School District in West Milton, Ohio, March 13, 2020.The Kaiser Family Foundation, a health care research group, is warning, however, that reopening classroom instruction could be dangerous for teachers. It said that about 1.5 million teachers, about a quarter of all teachers in the U.S., are “at greater risk of serious illness if infected with coronavirus” because of their age or personal health conditions. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has posted recommended guidelines for reopening schools that call for students to wear face masks and socially distance themselves from others by at least two meters, a virtual impossibility in most U.S. school classrooms. President Donald Trump listens during a “National Dialogue on Safely Reopening America’s Schools” event in the East Room of the White House, July 7, 2020.President Donald Trump, in calling for five-day-a-week instruction rather than virtual learning, last week said the CDC suggestions too tough, too expensive and impractical. The CDC says this week that it will provide further explanation this week on how schools could possibly reopen, but its director, Dr. Robert Redfield, said the agency would not back off the basic guidelines. White House coronavirus testing czar Admiral Brett Giroir told ABC News’s “This Week” show, “I think the CDC guidelines are really right on target. It’s really important to get kids physically back in schools but you do have to do that safely.” “And the first thing we need to do is get the virus under control,” Giroir said. “When we get the virus more under control, then we can really think about how we put children back in the classroom, but it’s got to be done carefully.” Most schooling decisions in the U.S. are set by local officials, not the federal government. Numerous school officials across the country are already balking at Trump’s and DeVos’s call for five-day-a-week, in-school instruction. Many, like the biggest school system in the country in New York City, have unveiled plans for a mix of in-school and virtual learning, not the full in-school instruction Trump and DeVos want. “It’s all going to be guided by science,” whether to fully reopen schools, said Mayor Carlos Gimenez in Miami-Dade County, Florida, in the southeastern part of the country, where the number of coronavirus cases is soaring. “It all depends on the state of the virus” when the school year is scheduled to start in six weeks. School superintendent Scott Brabrand in Fairfax County, Virginia, a large suburban jurisdiction outside Washington, has offered parents a choice: five days a week of virtual classroom instruction for their children or three days online and two inside schools. He told CNN that the size of Fairfax schools simply is not big enough to hold in-class instruction and have students socially distance themselves. He said that for Fairfax to do that would require construction of the equivalent of five more Pentagons, the massive U.S. Defense Department just outside Washington.

Top Democrats Blast Trump’s Commutation of Roger Stone Sentence
Two leading U.S. Democrats on Sunday condemned President Donald Trump’s clemency for his long-time friend Roger Stone, wiping out his 40-month prison sentence for political wrongdoing, saying it was a perversion of American legal standards.“It’s staggering corruption,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said of Trump’s commutation of Stone’s sentence during an interview on CNN.“People should know this isn’t just about lying to Congress, that means lying to the American people, and witness tampering and the rest,” Pelosi said of the seven convictions a jury handed down against the 67-year-old Stone. “It’s about our national security.”U.S. presidential power for overseeing pardons and commutations is virtually unlimited, but Pelosi said legislation will be introduced that would in the future limit a president from commuting, pardoning or offering clemency to anyone who is convicted of a crime that affects the president’s behavior and culpability.FILE – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff speak during a press conference at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Oct. 2, 2019.House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff, who oversaw impeachment proceedings against Trump last year, was a guest Sunday on ABC News’s “This Week” show.“Anyone who cares about the rule of law in this country is nauseated by the fact that the president has commuted the sentence of someone who willfully lied to Congress, covered up for the president, intimidated witnesses, obstructed the investigation,” he said. “It shouldn’t matter whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, this should be offensive to you if you care about the rule of law and you care about justice.” Schiff, a longtime Trump critic, said Stone “lied to cover up and protect the president.”Schiff said that Trump, with his Friday night action to keep Stone from heading to prison, “is basically saying through this commutation, ‘If you lie for me, if you cover up for me, if you have my back, then I will make sure that you get a get-out-of-jail-free card.’ “Other Americans? Different standard,” Schiff said. “Friends of the president, accomplices of the president, they get off scot-free.”FILE – Republican Senator Mitt Romney speaks with members of the media on Capitol Hill in Washington, March 16, 2020.Some Republicans join freyTwo Republican senators, Mitt Romney and Pat Toomey, on Saturday also attacked Trump’s action.Romney, who lost the 2012 presidential election to former President Barack Obama, called Trump’s commutation of Stone’s sentence “unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president.”Toomey, from the eastern state of Pennsylvania, said Trump “clearly has the legal and constitutional authority to grant clemency for federal crimes,” but called his action a “mistake.” Toomey said Stone “was duly convicted of lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstruction of a congressional investigation conducted by a Republican-led committee.”Trump, in a tweet Saturday night, called Romney and Toomey “RINO’S,” an acronym that stands for “Republicans in Name Only.”“Stone was treated very unfairly,” Trump said Saturday night about his commutation of Stone’s prison sentence. The president blamed the jury forewoman and the judge and said Stone “should have had another trial.”FILE – Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is surrounded by reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington, Feb. 25, 2020.One Republican lawmaker, Senator Lindsey Graham, said in advance of Trump’s action, “In my view it would be justified. Mr. Stone is in his 70s (Stone is 67 – ed.) and this was a nonviolent, first-time offense.” A jury convicted Stone of seven offenses, including witness tampering and lying to federal authorities, and a judge sentenced him to 40 months in prison. He was to report to prison this week before Trump commuted the sentence, but did not pardon him, which left his convictions in place.The clemency for Stone was only the 36th Trump has granted, with 180 denied. Many of those granted by Trump have been to political supporters of his or suggested by people he knows, rather than being processed through normal pardon procedures overseen by the U.S. Justice Department. At the same points in their presidencies, 3½ years after taking office, Trump’s six predecessors had acted on hundreds or thousands of petitions for clemency.One juror in Stone’s trial, Seth Cousins, told the Washington Post, that it was a “shocking act of corruption for the president to commute the sentence of a person convicted of lying to protect him. The fact remains that Roger Stone is a convicted felon, that he was found guilty of seven counts of lying to Congress and intimidating a witness and of impeding an investigation. Nothing that Trump or anyone has done or can do changes that fact.”Special counsel Robert Mueller, who led the investigation into whether Russia colluded with the Trump campaign in 2016 to help him win, wrote in a Post opinion article that the probe was of “paramount importance” and asserted Stone “remains a convicted felon, and rightly so.”After a lengthy probe, Mueller’s investigation did not find clear evidence that Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the 2016 election and did not reach a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice. In any event, long-standing Justice Department policy says sitting U.S. presidents cannot be charged with criminal offenses.Late Friday, Trump spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said that Trump granted Stone clemency “in light of the egregious facts and circumstances surrounding his unfair prosecution, arrest and trial.“Roger Stone is a victim of the Russia hoax that the Left and its allies in the media perpetuated for years in an attempt to undermine the Trump presidency,” she said. “There was never any collusion between the Trump campaign, or the Trump administration, with Russia. Such collusion was never anything other than a fantasy of partisans unable to accept the result of the 2016 election.“The collusion delusion spawned endless and farcical investigations, conducted at great taxpayer expense, looking for evidence that did not exist,” McEnany concluded.

Кремінь: показ фільмів українською мовою з російськими субтитрами у Москві – одне з наших завдань
Уповноважений із захисту державної мови Тарас Кремінь в інтерв’ю Радіо Свобода заявив, що одним зі завдань влади є показ фільмів українською мовою у Москві з російськими субтитрами.
«Я думаю, що це одне з наших завдань (показ фільму українською мовою у Москві – ред.). І хочу сказати, що нашу класику дуже добре знають і в Росії, і у світі. Довженка і «Тіні забутих предків», я думаю, знають по всьому світі», – заявив мовний омбудсмен.
Однак, за словами Кремня, спочатку слід розібратися з українським медіаконтентом.
«Я думаю, що нам спочатку треба розібратися зі своїм медіаконтентом. Але думаю, що у нас величезні перспективи по відродженню українського кінематографу, який ми спостерігаємо останніми роками разом із квотуванням, з виділенням досить непоганих коштів для Державної агенції з кінематографії, разом з тими можливостями, які ми відкрили для української естради, українських виконавців. Дуже приємно, що у нас з’являються нові творчі колективи, нові гурти, які збирають стадіони за великим рахунком», – заявив Кремень.
8 липня урядовим рішенням Тарас Кремінь був обраний уповноваженим із захисту державної мови. На цій посаді він змінив Тетяну Монахову, яка менш ніж через пів року після призначення звільнилася у квітні. Вона пояснила це тим, що секретаріат відомства, який їй доручили очолювати, так і не почав роботу та не отримав фінансування.
Посада мовного омбудсмена передбачена законом «Про забезпечення функціонування української мови як державної».

У путляндії пройшли масові акції на підтримку затриманого мера Хабаровська
У місті Хабаровськ на російському Далекому Сході 11 липня відбулася демонстранція на підтримку заарештованого губернатора Хабаровського краю Сергія Фургала. У ній, за різними оцінками, взяли участь до 35 тисяч людей. Одночасно акції пройшли в Комсомольську-на-Амурі, Ельбані, Сонячному та інших містах краю. Заходи стали наймасовішими акціями протесту на Далекому Сході за кілька років. Учасники акції скандували «Свободу Фургалу», «путіна у відставку», «геть царя», «москва, йди», «москві ганьба» та інші гасла. Демонстранти підписали петицію на підтримку губернатора. Поліція не втручалася в те, що відбувається, акція відбулася без затримань.
Фургал був затриманий 9 липня біля свого будинку в Хабаровську і на наступний день арештований Басманним судом москви. Чиновник підозрюється в організації двох вбивств і замаху на вбивство в середині двохтисячних років. За висунутими звинуваченнями йому загрожує ув’язнення аж до довічного терміну. Політик є одним із кількох російських керівників регіонів, які не є єдиноросами, він є членом ЛДПР

3 Key Takeaways from US Supreme Court Rulings on Trump’s Tax Returns
In the wake of a pair of U.S. Supreme Court rulings on President Donald Trump’s refusal to release his financial records, a debate is raging about whether the landmark decisions represent a win or a loss for Trump.The rulings on Thursday all but ensure that Trump’s tax returns and other closely guarded records won’t be released — and potentially used by his political rivals — before the contentious November 3 presidential election.But the high court’s decisions also amount to a repudiation of Trump’s long-standing claim of immunity from subpoenas for his personal information and his expansive views of presidential authority.Here are three things you need to know about the court’s 7-2 decisions:No one is above the lawIn the first case, known as Trump v. Vance, the Supreme Court essentially reaffirmed a long-standing principle that no one — the president included — is immune from the criminal process.The case concerned a subpoena issued by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance for eight years of financial records of Trump, a multibillionaire former New York real estate developer. Vance is supervising a grand jury investigation of Trump’s business dealings and whether the Trump Organization falsified business records to conceal the payment of hush money to two women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump years ago — assertions the president has denied.Vance’s subpoena marked the first time a local prosecutor has issued a request for a sitting president’s personal papers.Trump’s lawyers went to court to block the subpoena. Claiming that Trump enjoyed “absolute immunity” from criminal investigations by a local prosecutor, they argued that enforcing the subpoena would harass and distract him from his duties and tarnish his reputation.But Chief Justice John Roberts, citing more than 200 years of precedent, rejected the assertion.“In our judicial system, the public has a right to every man’s evidence,” Roberts wrote on behalf of the court, citing an old maxim.Roberts also rejected the claim that a higher standard is needed when a president is subpoenaed. But he said that the president, like every other citizen, has the right to challenge the subpoena in court.Paul J. Larkin, a former Justice Department official who is now a senior legal research fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said the ruling amounts to a “reaffirmation of presidential accountability.”“What they said was this has always been the rule with respect to federal cases, and we don’t see a reason for a different rule to apply just because it’s a state case,” Larkin said.Congressional subpoena power is not unboundedIn the second case, known as Trump v. Mazars, the court struck a middle ground, ruling that while Congress has the power to subpoena the president, that authority is not “limitless.”At issue in this case were four subpoenas issued last year by three House of Representatives committees for Trump’s financial records. The committees claimed the information was needed as part of their investigations of Trump and efforts to craft new legislation.The high court has long recognized Congress’ constitutional authority to issue subpoenas. However, it had never before waded into a dispute between Congress and the executive branch over a subpoena for the president’s personal tax returns and records.Here the justices threaded a needle between Congress’ need to investigate and the executive branch’s interests. While reaffirming Congress’ investigative power, they held that the four House subpoenas placed “separation of powers principles at stake, including both the significant legislative interests of Congress and the ‘unique position’ of the President.”To resolve these issues, the high court asked that lower courts consider at least four factors in weighing the validity of a subpoena, including ensuring that a request for documents is “no broader than reasonably necessary” and that it does not impose undue “burdens” on the president.“The way I think about it is, Congress just can’t say, ‘We’re passing legislation’ or ‘We’re thinking of legislation.’ They’ve got to say more,” said Sai Prakash, a law professor at the University of Virginia.Where do we go from here?The disputes head back to the lower courts in New York and Washington, D.C. The outcome is uncertain, and a final verdict could come down either way. Trump may prevail in both cases if his lawyers mount a successful challenge to the Vance subpoena and ward off House efforts in the congressional case. On the other hand, lawyers for House Democrats may get one or more of their subpoenas approved after recrafting them to meet the criteria laid out by the high court.Alternatively, the two parties could engage in negotiations to reach a compromise. That would be the court’s preference, given the justices’ aversion to getting drawn into political disputes between Congress and the president.

Кремінь назвав умови, які має врахувати держава, під час прийому до вишів абітурієнтів з ОРДЛО і Криму
Уповноважений із захисту державної мови Тарас Кремінь в інтерв’ю Радіо Свобода висловив думку щодо законодавчих змін, якими випускникам шкіл з окупованих територій дозволено не складати ЗНО для вступу до українських вишів. За його словами, держава має врахувати низку умов, пов’язаних із вступом цих абітурієнтів.
«Очевидно, що тут треба говорити і про збільшення відповідних квот на державне замовлення і про створення необхідних умов для подальшого перебування в Україні. Бо що таке дитина з окупованих територій? Вона однозначно повинна бути забезпечена гуртожитком. Однозначно, вона повинна бути забезпечена в тому числі ще й, можливо, соціальною стипендією. Зрозуміло, що вона повинна бути свідома того, що вона в Україні і повинна наздогнати ту, можливо, освітню прірву, яку вона зазнала на окупованих територіях. Зрозуміло, що це питання і реінтеграції, можливо, членів родини. Не забуваймо і про дітей з інвалідністю. І такі діти у нас можуть бути. Звісно, я хотів би, щоб і наші спецслужби в тому допомагали. Бо у ЗМІ траплялися випадки, що громадяни, які брали участь у бойових діях на стороні терористичних організацій, можуть потрапляти у списки здобувачів освіти, претендентів», – заявив Тарас Кремінь.
Він наголосив, що ті діти, які опинилися на тимчасово окупованих територіях Донецької і Луганської областей та у Криму, – «вони наші діти».
«Звісно, ми як представники української держави повинні забезпечити їм доступ до здобуття освіти. Але в той же ж час треба розуміти, що треба створити для того відповідні умови», – додав Кермінь.
Він визнав, що це «надзвичайно непроста робота, бо ми не володіємо інформацією, яка це кількість дітей, скільки дітей по-справжньому зможе приїхати».
3 липня Верховна Рада ухвалила законодавчі зміни, що, зокрема, передбачають можливість вступу до всіх українських вишів за вступними іспитами (або на основі ЗНО – за власним вибором) в межах встановлених квот для абітурієнтів, місцем проживання яких є тимчасово окупована територія і територія на лінії зіткнення. Раніше вступ за квотою передбачався лише для жителів тимчасово окупованого Криму та Севастополя, і тільки до обмеженого переліку закладів вищої освіти.

Biden Forges Brand of Liberal Populism to Use Against Trump
Joe Biden stood in a Pennsylvania metal works shop, just miles from his boyhood home, and pledged to define his presidency by a sweeping economic agenda beyond anything Americans have seen since the Great Depression and the industrial mobilization for World War II.The prospective Democratic presidential nominee promised the effort would not just answer a pandemic-induced recession, but address centuries of racism and systemic inequalities with “a new American economy” that “finally and fully (lives) up to the words and the values enshrined in the founding documents of this nation — that we’re all created equal.” It was a striking call coming from Biden, a 77-year-old establishment figure known more as a back-slapping deal-maker than visionary reformer. But it made plain his intention to test the reach of liberal populism as he tries to create a coalition that can defeat President Donald Trump in November. Presidential Polls Give Biden Wide Lead on Trump Even with the US presidential election still four months away, polls can tell us a lot about the direction of a campaign and what it needs to do to win more votesTrump and his Republican allies argue that Biden’s positioning, especially his ongoing work with progressives, proves he’s captive to a “radical” left wing. Conversely, activists who backed Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren in the Democratic primary were encouraged, yet cautious, about Biden’s ability to follow through while conceding that his plans on issues including climate action and criminal justice still fall short of their ideals. Biden’s inner circle insists his approach in 2020 is the same it’s been since he was elected to the Senate in 1972: Meet the moment.”He’s always evolved,” said Ted Kaufman, Biden’s longest-serving adviser. “The thing that’s been consistent for his entire career, almost 50 years, is he never promises things that he doesn’t think he can do.”Kaufman, who succeeded Biden in the Senate when he ascended to the vice presidency, said Biden’s core identity hasn’t changed: “progressive Democrat,” friendly to labor and business, consistent supporter of civil rights, believer in government and the private sector. What’s different in 2020, he said, are the country’s circumstances — a public health crisis, near-Depression level unemployment, a national reckoning on racism — and the office Biden now seeks. “If you want to get something done, encourage it,” Kaufman said. “What he learned over history watching campaigns is that you put forth a program, and then you come into office, and everybody involved knows that’s the program you’re offering.”Biden’s evolution has been on display from the start of his campaign as he’s tacked left both in substance and style while trying to preserve his pragmatist brand. At the start of the Democratic primary, Biden was positioned as offering a moderate alternative to Sanders’ call for a “political revolution” and Warren’s push for “big structural change.” The former vice president countered their proposed universal government-funded health insurance with a government insurance plan that would compete alongside private insurance. Progressives wanted tuition-free public higher education; Biden offered tuition subsidies for two-year schools. Biden called the climate crisis an “existential threat” and offered a clean energy plan with a trillion-dollar price tag, but resisted the full version of progressives’ Green New Deal. He promised hefty tax hikes for corporations and the investor class but opposed a “wealth tax” on individuals’ net worth. Biden noted that his health care platform put him to the left of 2016 nominee Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama, who had jettisoned a “public option” from his 2010 health care law, angering liberal Democrats. And on race, even before the recent national uprising against police violence, Biden spoke often of the nation’s systemic failure “to live up to” the Declaration of Independence. “Thomas Jefferson didn’t,” he said often in early speeches, alluding to the fact that the Declaration’s author and the third U.S. president owned slaves. Still, Biden isn’t immune from the kind of internal party tensions that cost Clinton progressive support in 2016, and he’s spent the last three months shoring up his left flank. Biden and Sanders created policy groups to write recommendations for Democrats’ 2020 platform. Those committees unveiled 110 pages of policy plans Wednesday, ahead of Biden’s speech in Pennsylvania. They left Biden short of endorsing single-payer health insurance and the most aggressive timelines to achieve a carbon-neutral economy, but ratified his claims of a more progressive slate than his predecessors’.Further, Biden already had moved toward Sanders’ tuition position, endorsing four years of full subsidies for most middle-class households. He adopted Warren’s proposed bankruptcy law overhaul and her ideas for a government procurement campaign to benefit U.S. companies. Progressives promise continued pressure. “I think our job is really to sometimes push him,” Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal said. Jayapal, who helped lead the Biden-Sanders health care task force, said that means being “alongside him, of course, and then sometimes be out in front.”Likewise, Varshini Prakash of the Sunrise Movement, a leading environmental advocacy group, said her group won’t abandon the Green New Deal. But she credited Biden for embracing a level of public investment that would remake the energy economy during the pandemic recession. Biden has managed party unity that wasn’t present four years ago.”I don’t consider Biden’s proposals a political hat tip to progressives as much as rising to the moment we’re living in,” said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and a Warren ally. The former vice president also has amassed an impressive slate of endorsements and built a stable of regular campaign surrogates, including all his major primary rivals. Many of them held events in the hours and days following his speech Thursday in a show of force that Trump, even with his intense online presence and fervent base, would be hard-pressed to match.For his part, Trump accused Biden of “plagiarizing” his economic populism but also tarred Biden as a leftist who can’t win.”It’s a plan that is very radical left, but he said the right things because he’s copying what I’ve done,” Trump said Friday before departing the White House for Florida. Kaufman said Biden will continue campaigning as a nominee unconcerned about such labels. “What’s allowed him to survive all these years,” Kaufman said, “is that he’s not into any of those characterizations.”

Наша мета: фільми українською мовою з російськими субтитрами у москві
Він легко цитує Єшкілєва і апелює до оповідань Григора Тютюнника, каже, що, мабуть доля так розпорядилася, що захищати українську мову повинні люди з півдня і сходу. Депутат Верховної Ради восьмого скликання, Тарас Кремінь був одним із співавторів закону про забезпечення функціонування української мови як державної. Каже, «гайки», ані щось інше ніхто закручувати не збирається, але одним із пріоритетів своєї діяльності бачить неухильне дотримання громадянами мовного законодавства. Що для цього робитиме? Про це і більше новопризначений уповноважений із захисту державної мови Тарас Кремінь
