Kutil then said that he was not surprised that the USA could become another supporter of Russian killing in Ukraine, and he referred to Donald Trump as the worst president in US history. He stated that Trump seemed to him to be paying off old debts from his youth. He labeled as absurd the possibility that Trump would provide Moscow with economic and political relief due to hypothetical supplies of Russian oil or diesel, which he claimed represented only a tiny share of the American market. He questioned whether the supplies would even arrive and associated their timing with the November elections. According to him, it might have been enough for Trump if voters believed that oil or diesel were already headed to the USA, while Putin could receive actual money. #Ukrajina #Trump #Rusko (translated)

Vláďa Foltán shared a statement from the mayor of New York, Mamdani, who stated that in his opinion there was no justification for federal agents to fire so many shots into a car with a five-year-old child. He pointed out that the incident occurred in a residential neighborhood near a subway station. Mamdani also questioned how ICE agents can ensure safety when, according to him, armed people in masks and reflective vests are roaming the streets that residents may not recognize as attackers. He reiterated that there was no explanation for such an approach in his opinion. https://t.co/vdpkyMMmzs #ICE #bezpečnost #střelba (translated)

The author of the contribution stated that that day in the Chamber of Deputies, there was talk about heroism, patriotism, historical revisionism, and collaboration. After the speeches by Tomio Okamura and Miloš Zeman, he pointed out a more serious question: when does history stop being commemorated? He called the proceedings an attack on the president, not a debate about history. https://t.co/59hpacmCUr #historie #politika #vlastenectví #CZ (translated)

P – Paukner Media claimed that the media paid more attention to the accident of Filip Turek than to the testimony of Hana Marvanová in the Dozimetr case. According to him, Marvanová spoke in court about practices that she had warned Vítem Rakušan about back in 2022. The author also recalled her concerns about Stanislav Polčák and the connections between Polčák and Petr Gazdík with the Redl family, including consultations and the selection of people for state enterprises. The post stated that Polčák went on vacation with Redl and that Redl's father is currently facing trial for embezzlement in Prague. The author also wrote that investigative files had not been provided to the parliamentary committee, so according to him, it was unclear to what extent the STAN movement collaborated with individuals referred to by Marvanová as "the boys from Zlín." Regarding Turek, the author noted that the police dismissed his accident because, according to their conclusion, no crime occurred, and the prosecutor did not appeal against it. He criticized Seznam Zprávy for repeatedly changing the headlines about whether Turek met the criteria for a crime, asserting that all its elements had to be fulfilled according to valid law. According to the author, the case was also reported by Czech Television, Forum24, Novinky, and Deník N, while apart from iRozhlas and ČTK, other media did not focus on Marvanová's testimony. The author suggested that the attention given to Turek was intended to overshadow the Dozimetr case and linked the media events to Jan Dobrovský, whom he called the largest sponsor of STAN. He also announced that he wanted to publish materials from the so-called "Paukner archive." #mafie #Praha #politika (translated)

The investigation into the death of three-year-old Viktorka has entered another phase, as the supervising state prosecutor's office is demanding the completion of an expert report that will change the legal classification from murder to the crime of intoxication, and the question of the consistency of the conclusion about acute psychosis with the proven preparation for the act remains in the spotlight. #Vražda #Psychóza #Vyšetřování (translated)

Jiří Vítek stated that Sparta can expect more from Vojtěch Hradec than he is currently capable of offering. Although Patrik Augusta knows him well from the junior national team, Vítek pointed out that two years have passed since then, which is a long time at this age. Vítek reminded that the club expects contributions from Hradec in defense, on face-offs, and during penalty kills. According to him, in the extra league, he has a success rate below 50 percent on face-offs, and Vítek was uncertain whether his movement corresponds to the active style of penalty killing that Ladislav Šmíd is trying to instill in the team. In offense, he believes Hradec mainly offers work in front of the opponent's goal; in Mladá Boleslav, he was rarely involved in the transition phase and preparing chances for his teammates. Vítek also wrote that Mladá Boleslav conceded a high number of goals against Hradec on the ice during five-on-five play in the last two seasons. While observing the player, Hradec came across more as a blocking type than as someone who excels in defensive zone awareness, especially against the best opposing formations. According to Vítek, Sparta has strengthened itself with a talent for the future rather than a player who would immediately solve problems in the third or fourth line. Hradec will need time and the right care, which, according to Vítek, may not align with the environment of Sparta, which wants to succeed right away. Ambitious teams, in his view, should have players with a broader skill set even in the fourth line if they wish to succeed in the later stages of the playoffs. He described Hradec as a younger alternative to Kryštof Hrabík, on whom there will still be a need to work. He also expressed concern that Sparta was attracted by his fistfight with Witkowski in the game against Kometa. #hokej #Sparta #extraliga (translated)
