By Chrissy Stroop

…t how “bad” things are, asserting several times that if Republicans lose in 2024 “there’s no coming back.” And interestingly enough, out of all four presidential candidates present at the summit, it was Trump who not only got the most enthusiastic reception, but also used the most explicit God talk.

By Peter Schwartz

…ld, in which the availability of sharp-edged nodes of resistance and reaction at local and regional levels have tilted the world dramatically toward a cycle of decline. They’re like the pebbles in a gathering landslide. None of this guarantees Trump and Republicans will reclaim power in 2024. The possibility is still best classified as a strong maybe.

By Paul Courtright

…energizes him. His devotion to Latika provides him a polestar that enables him to navigate through the turbulent waters of the postmodern city. As far as the complaint that the movie rehashes a negative image of India, I have to disagree. The slums and corruption are a part of India, even an India Shining.
