“This reverence of Godse and the glorification of violence is all tied to the ascendancy of the BJP,” said Audrey Truschke, assistant professor of South Asian history at Rutgers University in New Jersey. “It began emerging in the last decade and has been accelerating to the point where a greater percentage of people in India are now willing to accept this; and it is shaping, and reshaping, people’s views of Mahatma Gandhi in decidedly unhelpful ways.” Source: Mahatma Gandhi’s killer venerated as Hindu nationalism resurges in India | India | The Guardian
Sasse, in fiery op-ed, says QAnon is destroying GOP | TheHill
“Until last week, many party leaders and consultants thought they could preach the Constitution while winking at QAnon. They can’t,” Sasse wrote. “The GOP must reject conspiracy theories or be consumed by them. Now is the time to decide what this party is about.”
Sasse also criticized House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for not disavowing Taylor Greene’s campaign and called the freshman lawmaker “cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.”
“During her campaign, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy had a choice: disavow her campaign and potentially lose a Republican seat, or welcome her into his caucus and try to keep a lid on her ludicrous ideas. McCarthy failed the leadership test and sat on the sidelines,” Sasse opined.
Taylor Greene stated this month that she plans to bring articles of impeachment against Biden the day after his inauguration.
Sasse acknowledged her plan, hitting the Georgia Republican: “She’ll keep making fools out of herself, her constituents, and the Republican Party,” he said.
The Nebraska lawmaker concluded, stating that in order to play a “constructive part” in America’s future, the GOP must “repudiate the nonsense that has set our party on fire,” and “rebuild itself” by offering a “genuine answer to the frustrations of the past decade.”

The United Nations has been informed by Russia that this week they are planning to withdraw all 300 military instructors, and transport helicopters from the Central African Republic.

O homem esculpindo a si mesmo no futuro
O homem e a sua eterna construção. Linda imagem, não? Um homem guiado pelos instintos, medos, vontades e espírito […]. Um ser cercado de sensações, paixão, razão trabalhando seus propósitos. Nesse episódio, ele martela a busca pelo novo. O sentimento inquietante, faz com que se imagine a mudança, e ele acredita que consegue vencer, e assim age em busca de um novo momento, de uma nova circunstância.
A vida tem os seus propósitos, e nós vamos lapidando estes, na medida de nossas necessidades.
As pessoas não podem notar, mas a espessura dos nossos pensamentos, faz com que cada um, digo cada ser humano possa lapidar as suas preocupações, seus problemas, interesses… até encontrar a solução, na verdade, a palavra que busco qui, seria ‘ resposta ‘. Conhecendo as nossas razões, gradativamente, vamos vencendo as necessidades.
Cada vez que nos esculpimos, vamos deixando de lado, os abandonos, a solidão. Pois, somos…
