Trump banned from Illinois State Ballot​

An Illinois judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump can not appear on the state’s Republican primary ballots, ordering local election officials to strike his name from the running. Trump’s legal team was given just two days to appeal.

The order will take effect on March 1, allowing Trump’s legal team only a brief window to appeal the decision, according to the Hill. Illinois’ primary race kicks off on March 19.

Cook County Judge Tracie Porter handed down the decision on Wednesday, claiming that Trump’s actions surrounding the January 6, 2021 riot at the US Capitol disqualified him from seeking reelection in Illinois. She cited the 14th Amendment’s Insurrection Clause, which bars former US officials from returning to military or civilian office if they have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion.”

The ruling comes after a group of Illinois voters filed a formal objection to Trump’s candidacy with the state elections board, also pointing to his alleged “participation in the Jan. 6, 2021 events.” While officials later voted unanimously to retain his name on the GOP ballot, the move prompted a legal challenge from the voters’ lawyers, who presented the same argument to the court.

The case marks the third attempt in as many states to prevent Trump’s nomination, after litigants in Colorado and Maine also sought to disqualify the former president on the basis of the Insurrection Clause. However, rulings in those cases have been paused pending an appeal at the US Supreme Court, which has signaled skepticism toward the plaintiffs.

During a hearing earlier this month, a majority of justices questioned whether state officials had the authority to apply the Insurrection Clause to presidential candidates, with liberal Justice Elena Kagan questioning “why a single state should decide who gets to be president of the United States.”Conservative-leaning Justice Amy Coney Barret similarly said “it just doesn't seem like a state call.”

Despite the legal hurdles, Trump has swept every GOP primary contest so far, taking easy wins in Michigan, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. The ex-president still faces criminal cases in multiple states, however, including for his alleged interference in the 2020 election, a hush-money scheme with porn actress Stormy Daniels, as well as charges linked to the improper handling of classified material. Trump has denied any wrongdoing in each case, rejecting the allegations as politically motivated.

Kerala is based as always.
Only post feudal society in India thanks to land reforms and education initiative done by communists back in 50s, Not surprisingly the Upper caste lobby pressured Nehru Government to dissolve it, In many social parameters it's comparable to Europe unfortunately they couldn't follow it up with industrialization and Infrastructure due to dissolvment, Fun fact CIA actually funded an early form of colour revolution against the government there due to it being the only the second communist party in the world to get democratically elected after San Marino

France labels Russia a ‘direct threat’​

Russia has become a menace to France in view of its actions since the onset of the Ukraine conflict, French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal told the Senate on Wednesday, defending President Emmanuel Macron’s earlier suggestion of potentially sending Western troops to Ukraine.

Macron’s words came after a meeting of Ukraine’s sponsors in Paris on Monday. No consensus was reached on the prospect of sending ground troops to aid Kiev, he told the press. However, the French president promised to stop at nothing to make sure Russia does not win in Ukraine.

Responding to questions in the French Senate about the remarks, Attal insisted that Russia has hardened its stance towards France over the course of the conflict. He accused Moscow of “spreading false information,”while engaging in attempts at destabilization and “cyber attacks.”

“The reality is that Russia is a direct and immediate threat to France on all levels.”

He insisted that the French leader’s statements were “responsible,” and echoed Macron’s view on the need to ramp up military aid to Ukraine, explaining that he may have been speaking of troops being sent to train Kiev’s army, rather than to fight. Attal suggested that such a deployment may include training Ukrainian troops in ground-to-air defense, or protecting “certain borders.”

Earlier in February, Paris and Kiev signed a bilateral security pact, similar to Ukraine's agreements with Germany and the UK. While the deal offered no ironclad military obligations, Macron promised Kiev another €3 billion ($3.25 billion) in aid over the course of 2024 as well as “cooperation” in artillery production.

The month prior, Macron announced that France would provide Ukraine with 40 additional SCALP-EG long-range cruise missiles and “hundreds of bombs.” The missiles – a combined British-French endeavor, called “Storm Shadow” by the British – have been used to target and kill Russian civilians in long-range strikes on the Donbass, according to Moscow.

Russia maintains that the flow of Western military aid to Ukraine will not alter the course of the conflict, simply putting off the end while causing unnecessary deaths.
“The reality is that Russia is a direct and immediate threat to France on all levels.”

Why is the French so openly hostile compared to all the other European stooges and the US. I wonder which important Frenchmen got turned into dust when those Russian missiles blew up that military hotel to make them this angry.

In other words, a declaration of war.

Firstly, French establishment doesn’t equal the French people.

As to answer your question, whose farmers’ protesting are causing chaos right now and bringing out protest coffins for their liege? Creating and hyping up non-existent external ‘threats’ to distract from actual internal threats from the peasants is the oldest trick in the European elite’s book.

I have got to disagree with this notion, i often see this notion from people here that western public aint responsible for history of their previous colonization. This is the exact reason why West keep beating doldrums of democracy, now public are in charge who have got nothing to do with history. Let's move on.

First, that aint my problem. When i ask for payment, i dont care who is private or public, i ask from the nation. Its like saying a grampa takes loan from bank, he dies, then he doesnt have to pay the loan anymore.Because his childs didnt take the loan.

Second, their public never renounced the wealth they got rich from.

I have no doubt that their heart wrenches (yeah, i believe that from bottom of my azz) from all the colonization their granmpa generation did, but as long as they move over quietly when i colonize their land & wealth, there is no problem at all.

Good points, but my point is that there isn’t much grassroots support for France to be more openly hostile against Russia.

The Tamil Nadu government was left red-faced after an advertisement for a new Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) spaceport in the southern state featured a rocket with the flag of China.

In the state government's defense, DMK MP Kanimozhi said that she didn't know where the picture was taken from and downplayed the presence of the Chinese flag by reasoning that India has not declared China as an "enemy country".

The ruling DMK leader told news agency ANI, "I don't know from where the person who did the artwork, found this picture from. I don't think India has declared China as an enemy country. I have seen that the Prime Minister has invited the Chinese PM and they have gone to Mahabalipuram. Just because you do not want to accept the truth, you are finding reasons to divert the issue."

The advertisement, reportedly issued by State Fisheries Minister Anita Radhakrishnan, was intended to celebrate the

for the Isro spaceport in Kulasekarapattinam and highlight the efforts of former Chief Minister Karunanidhi and his son and current Chief Minister MK Stalin in bringing the project to fruition.

But it inadvertently showcased a computer-generated rocket emblazoned with the Chinese national flag, prompting the BJP to go after the ruling DMK all guns blazing.

China: ???
