Adapting to the US can take decades for emigres, especially with beliefs intimately tied to religious upbringing. Within many religions, there are written and unwritten philosophies about relationships between different strata of a given religion. Few are as explicit as the Hindu-based socio-political stratification among Indians

As the US campaign express entered its final year ahead of the presidential election in November 2024, voters are offered a first generation American of Indian origin whose energized performance befits a high-tech entrepreneur who claims he has all the answers despite lacking political experience

He’s a wealthy Indian-American businessman with no name recognition and no political experience, but his bid to become president of the United States of America in the 2024 election is gaining lots of attention. Vivek Ramaswamy is testing his dream scenario as one more step in a lifetime of over-achievement

The Georgia indictment against the former president uses a state law against racketeering—(RICO)—naming him and 18 others in a case potentially more devastating than multiple federal charges already filed. No legal situation can keep Trump from running for the president except a conviction for conspiracy to overthrow the US Constitution. Even if elected, he cannot pardon himself for a state-level crime

An oversight subcommittee in the US Congress confirmed that the federal government has spent nearly 75 years hiding evidence that extraterrestrials have visited Earth. Star witness at the hearing was David Grusch, a former intelligence official, who said credible people told him that “non-human biologics” were found at alleged crash sites

The former president Donald Trump appeared in a Washington court after he was indicted for the third time for using illegal means to stay in power. The four-count federal indictment contains a massive amount of evidence against Trump and his lawyers. The Justice Department team led by prosecutor Jack smith has painstakingly reconstructed Trump’s every day and every conversation from mid-October 2020 through January 2021 when Joe Biden was certified as president

Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, walked into a federal court in Delaware last week expecting to accept a guilty plea-bargain over a gun possession charge and failure to pay proper income tax on earnings. As long as ex-president Donald Trump remains under indictments in multiple state and federal cases, there will be pressure on Hunter Biden.

Vivek Ramaswamy is a 37-year-old biotech entrepreneur spending his own fortune campaigning to be the Republican candidate for president in the 2024 election. This Libertarian-style Republican is focused on being an attractive choice for pro-Trump Americans, who are concerned that mounting legal indictments and trials will sideline the former president

America celebrates 247 years of Independence against a backdrop of a nation at war with itself over what democracy means. The conservative-dominated Supreme Court has become the major player in changing the regulatory power of the federal and state governments. There are two reasons—because they can and because the US Congress is gridlocked by performative politicians, accomplishing very little.

The US Supreme Court has rejected the so-called “independent state legislature doctrine” that would have let politically dominated state legislatures override any popular vote in national elections they did not like. Additionally, two recent Supreme Court decisions have upheld the Voting Rights Act, which governs how state and federal elections are managed. And the latest landmark ruling has struck down race-based admissions in universities. However, it may stir up a controversy, considering that the verdict is against the liberal policies set in law
