I received an invite from the Biden administration for a Diwali event being held by the VP on nov 8. I decline any invitation from an institution that supports the collective punishment of a trapped civilian population—50% of whom are children.

During his rule, Genghis Khan adopted a policy of strategic marriages. He would marry off a daughter to the king of an allied nation.
Then, he would assign his new son-in-law to military duty in the Mongol wars while the daughter took over the rule of the kingdom. Many of his sons-in-law died in combat, and his daughters inherited rule.
This way, Genghis Khan built a shield around the Mongol homelands while expanding beyond them.
In his marital instructions to his daughter Alaqai, “He left no doubt that this was a major military assignment. She was not there merely to administer, but to rule -- thereby beginning the expansion of the Mongols from a tribal nation into a global empire.”
By Genghis Khan’s death, his daughters ruled from the Yellow Sea to the Caspian. Probably never before, or since, have women held so much power over so vast a region.
The sons began whittling away at that power as soon as Genghis Khan was dead. Each had received an inheritance of territory, and the easiest way to expand it was to take it from his sisters.
As the daughters aged and died, the sons (and grandsons) seized their kingdoms. A new generation of women gained power: the daughters-in-law of Genghis Khan, who took power while their husbands drank themselves to death.
