Last month, while stuck in Delhi’s traffic during a magnificent tour of India’s Golden Triangle — composed of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur — I witnessed a troubling scene. Through the smog that occurs when the air quality index is 484 (“more than 30 times the maximum level deemed healthy”), I watched from our vehicle’s window as a half dozen trans-identifying adults surrounded and harassed a family in their car next to us, forbidding them to move forward as traffic crept along. In the back seat, a woman held a toddler close to her and desperately pleaded with the people surrounding their

Thirty years ago I took a bus tour to the Taj Mahal. We arrived to an actual sea of peddlers hawking every imaginable (and unimaginable) trinket and souvenir. Our tour guide warned us not to even look at them, let alone buy something because he couldn't guarantee our safety. After an interesting visit (it should be on everyones' list), and waiding back through the sea of peddlers, about 10 feet from the bus, one of our party bought a bauble. For five minutes we played "human tug-of-war" with our companion and the mob. What the article's author describes is normal life in India.

First it was just tolerance and recognition. Then it was gay marriage. Next, it was Gay Pride Parades and Gay Pride Month. Then it became more and more and more. Now if the LGBTQ+/Trans mafia is not granted special recognition at every turn, you are homophobic. And don't dare to disagree with them or you get the entire liberal leftist will swarm you like a bunch of locusts.

The author is spot on. But how low have we sunk to fear rendering a simple smile, a nod of shared humanity, or a gift of compassion? Mother Teresa, pray for us.

It's not just trans gender. In India it is a good idea for white tourists (esp female) to avoid eye contact. My two daughters-in-law are white Midwestern women. On their first visit to India that was my advice. They asked if that wouldn't make people think they are typical aloof, arrogant white foreigners. My response was - that is exactly what I want them to think!

Exposure to lead in gasoline during childhood resulted in many millions of excess cases of psychiatric disorders over the last 75 years, a new study estimates.

According to the findings, the national population experienced an estimated 151 million excess mental health disorders attributable to exposure to lead from car exhaust during children’s early development.

Christopher Donahue, who has been nominated to receive a fourth star and take command of U.S. Army forces in Europe, was noticeably absent from a batch of military promotions the Senate approved Thursday evening before leaving for its weeklong Thanksgiving break. The aide confirmed Donahue's promotion was left out because Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., placed what's known as a "hold" on the nomination.

You know, and I think that’s a problem, and we’ll pay for it unless we get over it, but that’s a problem for the Democrats too. We have to learn to talk to people in ways that they can relate to that explains that,” Clinton said in an interview airing this weekend on MSNBC’s “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he won’t make a clemency decision on the murder convictions of Erik and Lyle Menendez until newly elected Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman reviews the nearly 35-year-old case. In October, prosecutors submitted a recommendation for the brothers’ resentencing on the murder conviction in the 1989 killings of their parents in their Beverly Hills home. George Gascón, the current district attorney, asked a judge to impose a new sentence 50 years to life, which could make them eligible for parole immediately.

Catholics and Biblical scholars alike have been calling foul on recent attempts by supporters of Hamas to portray Jesus Christ as a "Palestinian." The historically incorrect narrative has been pushed by Muslims and other anti-Israel voices, who have sought to claim Jesus as their own in order to bolster support for the "from the river to the sea" destruction of the state of Israel. Sadly, it seems that the pro-Hamas cabal has found a kindred spirit in the leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis.
