Three years ago, I arrived in Serbia. The idea was to see what living in my native city for about six months would be like after spending half a century in America. Well, the best laid plans of mice and men… Three months after my arrival, a temporary living arrangement became a permanent wedlock. I married my landlady. I grew a beard. I still wear it. I lost some weight. Healthier food and lifestyle, I suppose. Those were some of the good things. The rest… well, it was a culture shock. So much rudeness. So much senseless bureaucracy. So much unnecessary regulation. So much intolerance. Now we have been back in Belgrade for a fourth summer/fall in a row. I’ve already shared with you a number of stories which document the progression of Serbia into a police state and an economy driven by washed up drug and human trafficking money. And slowed down by nonsensical regulation. Now I want to share with you some of the good sides of the Serbian capital – Belgrade. Such as its beautiful location at the confluence of two big European rivers – the Danube and Sava.
of the highest vaccinated countries in the world. Now Covid is raging in Serbia while vaccinations seem to have slowed. As a result, Serbia is now the worst country in terms of the anti-vaxxer index. What makes Serbia the worst country? First and foremost, recklessness and ignorance of the anti-vaxxers. But there's also a possibility that the Chinese vaccines, which are the most prevalent in Serbia, may not be as effective as the American Pfizer or Moderna ISRAEL PUZZLE: A HIGHLY VACCINATED COUNTRY WITH HIGH COVID INFECTIONS

MISERABLE FAILURE AND TERRIBLE COSTS OF "WAR ON TERROR" The US "war on terror" has cost the taxpayers some $5.8 trillion, not counting the cost of hundreds of thousands of lost lives. What else could have the US government achieved had it spent it on peaceful purposes.

66% of Republicans in southern US & nearly half of West Coast Democrats want to secede from country as division grows. The Left's Orwellian chameleons: Erstwhile "Liberals" have morphed into "Progressives" but their Fascist/Commie tactics and goals remain the same - destroy the American Republic and the values upon which it was founded Over a quarter century ago, this writer predicted that America would break up along demographic lines. Check out this Nov 1995 Truth in Media editorial, also published as a Bob Djurdjevic OpEd piece in Washington Times in Aug 1996:
It has been 41 years since my last summer holiday in Greece. It was a disaster (see Greek Vacation Nightmare). What a difference four decades make! Because our 2021 vacation in Ormos Panagios in Halkidiki was wonderful.Of course, there were some glitches, too.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? (Who will guard the guards?) When an individual violates the "social distancing" rules, he/she can be arrested and prosecute it. And when a major airline does it, who will arrest them?

CORONA TO PUT FINAL NAIL IN INDUSTRIAL ERA’S COFFIN WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM HISTORY? As we speak, the coronavirus has infected less than 3.5 million people globally and killed 246,000. The deadliest pandemic in history – the Spanish Flu of 1918 – killed over 50 million people – more than the World War I (17 million victims). While it is prudent to take precautions – such as practice social distancing, wear masks and gloves – we must not surrender ourselves to fear and panic. Because the mass media and the “liberal” (pink-socialist) politicians want to use this crisis to achieve something they never could in a free society – autocracy.
Long before the COVID-19 hit New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Illinois - the four hardest hit American states, all "blue" (Democratic) - an exodus from these urban jungles had begun. After the Coronavirus, the flight from these polluted and crowded places where crime, disease and drugs fester, is certain to intensify.

The latest coronavirus data from all over the world and across the US suggest that we may have reached the apex of the crisis. But a huge spikes of new cases and death rates in Britain and Netherlands, and a big jump in New York death count, imply we must stay the course in "social distancing" a while longer.

"March madness" normally refers to one of our national pastimes - the playoffs of the best college basketball teams. This year, however, with "social distancing" shutting down sporting and cultural events across the U.S. and around the globe, the expression seems to apply to the state of mind of the Arizona state governor.
74% of all U.S. coronavirus cases are in just 8 predominantly Catholic states; 73% of all European cases are in just 5 predominantly Catholic countries
Some people are blaming China for the coronavirus crisis, claiming they are using it because they want to "rule the world." Certain American politicians, Donald Trump among them, are helping incite hatred against the Chinese calling by calling COVID-19 the "China Virus." Instead, there is much to be admired about how bravely and wisely the Chinese confronted this invisible enemy which attacked them first. And now, while the rest of the world is gripped in fear, the Chinese are sending planeloads of medical materiel and lending their own expertise to countries like Italy, France, Belgium, USA and others.

Buying a car in Serbia: NIGHTMARE ON FOUR WHEELS About one year ago, I arrived in Serbia. The idea was to see what living in my native city for about six months would be like after spending nearly half a century in America. Well, best laid plans of mice and men... Three months after my arrival, I married my landlady. A temporary living arrangement became a permanent wedlock. I grew a beard. I still wear it. I lost some weight. Healthier food and lifestyle, I suppose. Those were some of the good things. The rest... well, it was a culture shock. So much rudeness. So much intolerance. So much senseless bureaucracy. So much paper. So many loose cats and dogs. After seven months in Belgrade, my wife and I went back to Arizona. We spent four months at our Scottsdale home. This time, it was my wife's turn to experience a reverse culture shock - that of kindness with which everyone treated her. And how neat and clean everything was. Now we are back in Belgrade for the summer. And the culture shock continues for me.
