 Once again the world has been plunged into tragedy due the plane crash of another Boeing  aircraft.  How many times must this continue to happen with these aircrafts and loss of life? An Air India Flight 171, Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed onto a medical college  hostel in the Meghaningar neighborhood of Ahmedabad  just as it took off on a flight to London. All  12 crew members and 230 passengers died. 28 people on the ground died also. By God's grace there was 1 survivor. A 40 year old  British national of Indian heritage. I believe God has special  assignment on this earth and I hope he recognizes it as the merciful hand of God. From all reports I heard his seat was re- assigned to a lady. If that  wasn't the hand of God, I don't know what is. The black box was located and we await to hear what went wrong.  Meanwhile our thoughts and prayers go out to the affected families at this difficult time. DNA samples are being submitted to he...

Black and Brown people seemed to be the principal targets of the ICE  raids, which as a woman of color deeply disturbs me. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of the USA. I have family liv...

   Immigration raids trigger widespread protests in Los Angeles.  What started out as peaceful protests due to the arrest of undocumented immigrants, escalated into chaos when President Trump ordered ICE  agents and later on the Marines on the scene, which fueled tensions even further resulting in total anarchy.  In a dictatorial  move, Trump had deployed these armed forces  to quell the riots was like setting a torch on fire. It has gotten totally out of hand. In my humble opinion, the President abused his authority by going over the head of Governor  Newsom by not informing him of his intention to send out these enforcers.Total disrespect.
