मजबूरियां / Compulsions  – Kaushal Kishore

 

सबकी मजबूरियां हैं अपनी-अपनी,

और अपने-अपने कारण भी…

कुछ लोग याद नहीं रख पाते, 

और कुछ चाहकर भी भूल नहीं पाते…

🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️

Everyone’s got their own compulsions,

With reasons that they can’t confess…

Some can’t recall without digressions,

While others can’t forget, feeling less…

Trump revisits escalator with more trademark lies – and foreboding threats | Donald Trump trials | The Guardian

Behind the former US president, now a felon, stood the same escalator he used in 2016 to announce his presidential bid and trigger eight years of political chaos.

In a long-winded address in front of five American flags, golden walls and no teleprompters, Trump spoke for more than half an hour kicking off his first public event following his guilty verdict in his hush-money criminal trial.

It was a rambling, incoherent speech laden with falsehoods and conspiracy theories – trademark Trump, in fact. But it also carried a foreboding threat, aimed at riling his already furious base and reinforcing his own deep sense of victimhood.

Biden urges Gaza cease-fire, says Hamas vastly diminished – Los Angeles Times

President Biden said Friday that the militant group Hamas is “no longer capable” of carrying out another large-scale attack on Israel as he urged Israelis and Hamas to come to a deal to release remaining hostages for an extended cease-fire.

Biden addressed the nearly eight-month-old Israel-Hamas war as the Israeli military confirmed on Friday that its forces are now operating in central parts of Rafah in its expanding offensive in the southern Gaza city.

“This is truly a decisive moment,” Biden said as he spoke of a three-phase deal that Israeli officials have offered Hamas. “Israel has made their proposal. Hamas says it wants a cease-fire. This deal is an opportunity to prove whether they really mean it.”
