Shocking to hear that the US is planning to livestream an execution. How ironic that a convicted felon is okaying such a move. First ICE offences and now the beaming of an execution, looks like the POTUS is taking America back to the Stone Age or perhaps worse. Will the midterm results check him?

After 12 years of authoritarianism, a party of young people, born in the name of a slur, rises to take on the bullying Indian government. How long they will survive the atrocities inflicted on them, is unknown. But it is game on for Gen Z and the Cockroach Janta Party. Way to go people.

His threats are so extreme and totally unbecoming of a President. So many people are being killed whilst the world has to suffer in myriad ways because of these warmongers. Wish people in the US and Israel had the power to recall such leaders.

1200 Indian nationals evacuated from Iran. All credit to the Vishwaguru PM- where would we be without his diplomatic interventions!! Clearly his degree in Entire Political Science has stood him in good stead again. Time for him to be awarded a doctorate in the subject...and a few more, maybe.

You never know what he will do next. Sadly, the markets determine everything across the world.

Also, war tends to unite the people of a country- especially when you are raining bombs on them. Looks like DT has bitten off more than he can chew- thought it will be like Venezuela. World opinion is also turning against him, as everyone has been hit by the Hormuz blockade- the US never learns.

The uprising was bound to happen. Protestors in the UK too are raising placards against Trump and the war in Iran. They are in front of the US Embassy, with some insisting that Starmer not permit the refuelling of US stealth bombers on UK soil- it seems like a repeat of the invasion of Iraq.

How ironic and now the Middle East has to bear the brunt of allowing those US bases, in their respective countries.

There seems to be no value for the rule of law anymore, with people like DT and BN, at the helm. Their families should be sent and why not them, who started this dastardly war? Could Epstein revelations have pushed the envelope for DT? BN has diabolical plans- is being aided by the US and the EU.

Into the 3rd. month of 2026 and the world has turned topsy-turvy. International law paid lip service to by the US, has been completely shattered. First Venezuela and now Iran- agreed their rulers were dictators but can you just burst into a country and kill innocents, for regime change? Who next?

I'm not sure what disgusts me more, that the UK Government straight-up unlawfully imprisoned people in hellish conditions in the BIOT, that two administrations have continued to dispute and fight this finding, or how little attention the whole saga has received... www.leighday.co.uk/news/news/20...

This is the golden age of crime in America. There are virtually no limits. If you’d like to engage in the sadistic persecution of minorities and be paid for it, a career path at ICE beckons. If you’d like to commit random murder and get away with it, the FBI is too discombobulated to track you down.

"Let Hell break down," says the new POTUS. For all those who hoped for a no-war approach from Trump are wondering what approach he is really adopting. There seems no method to his madness and under his stewardship, it looks as if the US of A is descending into a state of anarchy. It's bizarre.

Absolutely so but Didi is looking at her vote bank, as is the UGI. In this matter, both parties are in sync. But let the US or the UN critique India for human rights violations on our minorities and up will pop Jack-in-the-box Jaishankar to refute and question foreign interference. Hypocrisy?

The move to BlueSky doesn’t feel like migration. It feels like divorce
I had no love lost for X. Like many others, I am happy to step out of this toxic relationship. But like sage dating advice, I am not going to swipe right and hook up with BlueSky on a rebound.

During our Galapagos trip, our naturalist guide Carlos "Let me tell you something about living on an island cos none of you live on an island.." Me & 2 Brits raise hands. He continues ".. New York England don't count. If a tunnel connects you to the mainland, you're not really an island! 😤" 😂😂

What is hard to accept though is why Indians are sticking up for this businessman. He has only helped himself to the country's resources and benefited the party and leader, who are helping him, so that they are helped in return, to buy the electorate and win bigtime.

The Adani indictment is like my birthday, pujo, and Christmas rolled together, I am dying 😂 Ages ago, I wrote a piece on how proto-fascists, from Modi to Bolsonaro to Trump, rode to power on anti-corruption sloganeering while globalizing crony capitalist looting. Modi's mask is finally coming off.
Authorities said Adani personally met with an Indian government official to advance the scheme, which took place between 2020 to 2024. The defendants frequently met and discussed the bribery scheme, including evidence on several phones.

Some of that documentation included a cell phone to extensively track specific details on the bribes, a photograph of a document summarizing various bribe amounts and PowerPoint and Excel analyses “that summarized various options for paying and concealing bribe payments,” the Department said in its statement.

We are well and truly into a banana republic. More than our leaders, one can really wonder about the electorate, which has become so compliant. In the last ten years, this UGI's achievement is to turn the country into an electorate of zombies😥.
