It does not seem like she was the first lady for two terms, Kelly said adding, "Michelle Obama is once again out there again whinning what a victim she is."During a recent conversation about race and fear with Jay Shetty on his On Purpose podcast, Michelle said her most “recent test of fear” has been the crackdown on illegal immigration and what she believes is its disparate impact on people of color. “In this current climate, for me, it’s… what is happening to immigrants,” she said. “It’s not the fear for […]

[ad_1] There’s a maxim that goes: Once you go woke, you go broke. The opposite is also true — go unwoke, go unbroke. And while the main story of the last Canadian election was that the Liberals managed to win after dropping Justin Trudeau like a stale waffle, the tangent that matters most for New Delhi is the amputation of the Khalistani gangrene that had infected Canadian politics.Not so long ago, Canadian politicians embraced Khalistanis with the enthusiasm of uncles hugging the bartender at a wedding reception. But if the 2025 result is any indication, the times are a-changin’.From left to right, Liberal leader Mark Carney, Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre before French-language federal leaders' debate earlier this weekLet’s rewind.The Khalistan movement was born in blood and delusion.

[ad_1] Learning to drive in Germany these days requires more than just patience. It also takes a lot of money. According to Germany's largest automobile club, the ADAC, obtaining a driver's license can cost anywhere between €2,500 ($2,839) and €3,500 –– in some cases, even more. For young people, still in education, it is becoming a luxury.Although a driver's license obtained in one EU country is valid across the bloc, how you get there is still regulated nationally. Each country has its own driving school concept, which in turn determines the price.In Germany, driving education is extensive and strictly regulated by law. Learners must complete a minimum of 14 theory sessions and 12 practical driving lessons. By contrast, Poland offers a more compact and less tightly regulated program, where a license can cost as little as €600.Calls for reform are […]

[ad_1] File photo of US President Donald Trump (Pic credit: AP) President Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Office this January has felt more like a seismic event than a simple transition of power.

From emergency proclamations that rewrote the rules of global commerce to calling on Elon Musk himself to overhaul the federal workforce, this administration has moved with a speed and boldness rarely seen in modern Washington.Rather than seeking gradual change, Trump has employed executive orders as his primary instrument, tearing down environmental safeguards, restoring the federal death penalty, and challenging the very definition of citizenship in bold, far-reaching strokes. His border strategy has shifted from political promise to […]
