Re: US Elections 2024 - the most consequential election again!

To me, a casual observer of American politics, Joe Biden is responsible for democrats defeat. If he had stayed out of 2024 race, democrat primary voters would have elected some folksy mid western white male as their nominee who the rural and sub urban white voters would have felt safe voting for.

Re: US Elections 2024 - the most consequential election again!

I saw a clip on CNN in which Tucker Carlson was saying (actually he was screaming) that US needs to go back to a time when dad used to come home and vigorously spank his teenage daughter for being a 'bad girl'.

Looks like the universe is conspiring to make Donald Trump president again! He missed death by a few millimeters and the gunman unwittingly changed the course of this election.

Re: R2I 2025 April

There is a slight twist in the plot. I spent couple of days thinking about how my daughter will cope up with Kannada as 3rd or 2nd language. I considered we should teach her Kannada or send her to international school etc. But then I said chuck it! What is the point of my daughter studying in CBSE ...

Re: India Elections 2024

Modi is in power for the last 20+ years, 3 terms as CM and 2 as PM. Most of those years, he has enjoyed almost absolute power, something which Putin or Xi Jing have been enjoying. No one to question him from within his party, no pesky and annoying press conferences where some random journalist could...

Re: India Elections 2024

Well, you can call him an idiot, you have every right to do so. I call those who are part of Godi media who believes Modi is some kind of messiah who was sent by god to save India as idiots. While most of the mainstream media have become propaganda machines of BJP/RSS, there are these few people lik...
