The (Indian) author forgot to mention that no part of this “relocation” was voluntary and by choice. That it was bloody, traumatic and fractured an entire continent forever. That it tore families apart forever, including mine. @wsj.com has really set the bar for bigotry too low.

What a sad and comical picture. Sums up the state of America today.

And equally sad and comical curtains.

The redesigned White House website looks like a cross between a Terminator movie and the final season of the House of cards. Wild stuff!

Anyone who is still on X, you are feeding this insane beast. Your social media presence cannot be more important than letting this creature run loose.

This issue my 2024 LinkedIn roundup. In 2025, I intend to be the great disrupter. The world needs to be shaken, not stirred, out of its stupor.

Neely (from Pakistan) sensing (she is blind) her first ever snowfall in Canada and in her life. Hopefully the first of many more in our new life together (still hoping to bring my other babies back).

And snow -I’ve MISSED YOU!!!!!!!

Our book delves for the first time into the phenomena of white saviorism in the world of international development aid. About how archaic colonial mindsets have fed into creating a system of unequals. In the words of those who experienced it first hand. Buy at www.Darajapress.com
