On a bus, a Christian priest from Kerala sat next to a drunk who was struggling to read the newspaper.

Suddenly, in a slurred voice, the drunk asked the priest: "Do you know what arthritis is?"

The priest thought of taking the opportunity to lecture the drunk and replied:

"It's a disease caused by sinful and unruly life: excess, consumption of alcohol, drugs, marijuana, crack, and certainly lost women, prostitutes, promiscuity, sex, binges and other things I dare not say."

The drunk widened his eyes, shut up and continued reading the newspaper.

A little later, the priest asked the drunk: "How long have you had arthritis?"

The drunk replied: "I don't have arthritis! It says here in the paper that the Pope has it."

Trump was all in from the very beginning. Remember, it was Trump who sabotaged a functioning nuclear deal in 2018. Iran was fully compliant with the terms of the agreement, which Israel loathed. It was Trump who assassinated Gen. Qassem Soleimani-- the beginning of the roll-back of the axis began with Soleimani's killing. Trump knew the Israelis would bomb Iran. When it comes to Iran and Israel, Donald Trump is both the establishment and the Deep State of America.

He won't call for a ceasefire. Rather, he has given Israel a free hand to continue the bombing. America and Israel see a great chance to reshape West Asia by destroying Iran. This is more than the nuclear programme. If Israel finds it unable to meet is goals alone, Trump won't hesitate to join in.

@dhanyarajendran Kudos 👌🏽

Super happy to tell you all that the Global Investigative Journalism network has chosen Project Electoral Bond as its top pick of investigations from India this year.

GIJN says: *When the Supreme Court ordered the Election Commission of India to divulge the records of the Electoral Bonds scheme, it unlocked a treasure trove of reporting on potentially unethical and illegal acts by the ruling government. In just a matter of days, three leading digital news organizations — Newslaundry, Scroll, and The News Minute — joined with independent journalists to create Project Electoral Bond, the first reporting consortium of its kind in India. This collaboration produced dozens of investigative stories exposing the unholy alliance between the government, the Election Commission, and big business houses of India.

This puzzle of electoral donations and underlying corruption could not have been exposed in such a short time without the round-the-clock work of some 31 reporters. Each of the investigative stories, which were jointly published on each of the three main sites, exposed the powerful reach of some of the biggest businesses on political parties in India.*

And for those who haven’t become a subscriber yet, I give you one more chance to do it now 😇.

In the near total focus on Maharashtra and the BJP-led alliance’s remarkable win in Mumbai, let’s not forget the JMM-led India alliance big win in Jharkhand. India’s ‘diversity dividend’ still endures. What worked in Maharashtra may not work in Jharkhand and vice-versa. Old jungle saying: one size never fits all! That’s why we remain the most complex democracy in the world! #ResultsOnIndiaToday

Campaign for Judicial Accountability Statement on the unconscionable delays by the courts in dealing with bail applications of several activists accused by the Delhi Police in the 2020 Delhi riots cases. This is a gross violation of their rights to liberty

Illustration of #GeneralElections2024 from @mathrubhumi . The “non biological” ( who almost lost his own Varanasi seat) collapses into a gorge only to be pulled up by Shivraj Singh Chouhan ( who gifted him
MP’s 29 ) and allies N2 and N3. Shah flails helplessly.

Kudos to the SC for staying a govt notification of establishing PIB’s Fact Checking Unit to act as a “deterrent” against the creation and dissemination of fake news or misinformation regarding the “business” of the Centre.
