George W. Bush: US should be tough on Russia — ‘not belligerent, but forceful’
“He’s a very smart tactician,” Bush said in an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. “The problem is, his whole attitude on most issues is, ’I’m going to win and U.S. is going to lose.”“He is a very aggressive person who wants to reinstate Soviet influence,” Bush continued. “And therefore I always felt it was very important for the United States to be very forceful in dealing with Putin — not belligerent, but forceful.”Bush’s comments come as President Trump is reportedly weighing new sanctions on Russia to respond to Moscow’s ongoing support of Syrian President Bashar Assad and his regime’s chemical weapons attacks against the Syrian people.

Although he was a law graduate and ran law classes as well, the taste of law applied on him by the British regime was quite sour. Tilak wrote in the weeklies Kesari in Marathi and Mahratta in English. He had launched both from Poona (now Pune) in 1881 alongwith Vishushashi Chiplunkar and GG Agarkar. Tilak edited Mahratta and Agarkar edited the Kesari. On 17 July 1882, almost within a year from publication, both were sentenced to four-month imprisonment in a defamation case filed by the Diwan of Kolhapur. In 1887, Agarkar and Tilak fell out and Tilak singlehandedly started running Kesari. Tilak faced two sedition trials. One in 1897 and the other in 1908. He was convicted in both. Tilak also sued Sir Valentine Chirol for libel in an English court in 1919 but lost. The two sedition trials Tilak … [Read more...] about A Look Back At Tilak’s Sedition Trials
Barbara Bush viewed Donald Trump as a ‘symbol of greed’
WASHINGTON (AP) — Barbara Bush didn't bite her tongue in recent years when it came to Donald Trump: She just didn't like him. But a new biography of the former first lady finds that her disdain for the Republican president, who transformed the party her own family had embodied for generations into his likeness, dates as least as far back as a 1990s diary entry.She referred to Trump in the entry as "the real symbol of greed in the 80s."Mrs. Bush, who was 92 when she died last April, gave Susan Page, author of "The Matriarch: Barbara Bush and the Making of an American Dynasty," access to volumes of her diaries, which she began keeping in 1948.The former first lady recounts in a January 1990 entry about reading a news article on Trump speaking at a Los Angeles charity awards dinner for Merv Griffin. Former President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, attended the gala, and Trump needled the former president over pricey speeches he had given in Japan.Mrs. Bush later showed a friend … [Read more...] about Barbara Bush viewed Donald Trump as a ‘symbol of greed’
