President Trump promised good jobs and a return to greatness on the world stage during his inaugural address in 2017.

Four years on, none of these visions have been realized. Here are some key quotes from his address, and why they haven't aged well.

 👉 Trump said Americans 'want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves.'

But he has done little to make sure people got this, instead installing controversial education secretary Betsy Devos. https://t.co/qW1Wqv5H1X
As for safe neighborhoods, crime has already been declining since the 1990s. But since Trump took office, cities have seen worrying spikes in homicides, especially since the pandemic.

@CouncilonCJ found a 42% increase last summer from 2019 in 29 cities. https://t.co/4DKQhEqLvk
The quality of American jobs don't appear to be getting any better either. @BrookingsInst in 2019 estimated that 44% of people were working low-wage jobs with median annual earnings of around $18K. This was before the pandemic forced millions out of work. https://t.co/4DKQhEqLvk
👉 'We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth.'

While the economy grew steadily during most of Trump's time in office, the COVID-19 pandemic wiped away pretty much all of those gains. https://t.co/4DKQhEqLvk
As for borders, Trump promised to build a US-Mexico border, but only completed 453 out of 1,000 miles. Work on half-finished sections of the wall in some places made border security worse.

@JoeBiden has promised to end the project when he is sworn in. https://t.co/jJWftj62qp
👉 'We will seek friendship and goodwill with nations of the world ... We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones'

Trump's "America First" ideology has made the US more isolationist during his four years in office. https://t.co/4DKQhEqLvk
During his term, Trump:

🔴 Pulled the US out of international agreements like the Paris Agreement and the Iran nuclear deal

🔴 Threatened to cut funding to NATO

🔴 Ramped up tensions with China through a trade war.

https://t.co/6fNjTyXQEJ
He started and attempted to foster a diplomatic relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in a bid to get it to denuclearize.

But that relationship has ultimately gone nowhere, with Kim plowing on with his nuclear ambitions. https://t.co/2QmzCrIKY7
The US also lost control of the pandemic under Trump, who ignored science and his own advisors as the virus struck.

As most of the world locked down to control the spread of COVID-19, Trump pushed for businesses to reopen and restrictions to lift. https://t.co/MaPGINouLd
The January 6 Capitol breach also made headlines across the world, eliciting shock from allies and glee from adversaries.

UK Prime Minister @BorisJohnson, who had previously been a staunch supporter of Trump, said the riot was "disgraceful."

https://t.co/pKmAO4o1fF
Trump promised to 'unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.'

Assassinating ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2019 is seen as one of his biggest accomplishments in office. https://t.co/IumARTI9UL
However, the president's repeated claims that ISIS has been totally defeated are false.

In August, a @UN report estimated that there were more than 10,000 fighters left, moving freely between small cells in Iraq and Syria.

https://t.co/pXYAUSJ5jl
👉 ‘Through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.'

Trump's time in office has seen the US become even more divided. @pewresearch wrote in late 2020 that Americans ‘have rarely been as polarized as they are today.’ https://t.co/4DKQhEqLvk
👉 'Whether we are Black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots.'

Trump said this in 2017 but during his presidency has exhibited a stronger allegiance to white Americans — who make up his base — over Americans of color. https://t.co/4DKQhEqLvk
One of Trump's first actions in office was also to institute the so-called ‘Muslim travel ban’ in the US.

While many criticized the executive order as racist and Islamaphobic, the administration maintained it was necessary for national security reasons. https://t.co/S4rBaPA7SL
Race relations between Black and white Americans also hit a new low last summer with the police killing of George Floyd.

Activists painted a large Black Lives Matter mural in front of Trump's building in New York City, he called it a ‘symbol of hate.’ https://t.co/yMEjykfazQ
.@JoeBiden is set to take the reins from Trump today, and give his own inaugural address.

According to @CNN, it's a speech the former vice president has been crafting since he gave his victory address in November.

Savanna’s Act & The Not Invisible Act become law today. These laws start to address the epidemic of missing & murdered Indigenous women. Trump is taking credit for it but their passage is the result of the tireless work of Native women & their allies, including women in Congress.

There is little data available regarding #MMIW & a problem that these laws will help fix. The data we do have is astonishing. Native women are murdered at 10X the national average & it’s the 3rd leading cause of death for Native women age 10-24. Experts say these figures are low.

The Trump administration uses #MMIW as a prop & shield while they plunder Native lands, desecrate sacred sites, forgo Tribal consultation, threaten us, disestablish Tribes & target Tribal sovereignty by attempting to give control of our homelands to states (see EPA letter to OK).

Every Native family on the Reservation knows a Native girl, woman or transperson who has gone missing or was murdered. This has gone on for decades & action on it is a long time coming but give credit where its due—with the Tribes, Native women & Congresswomen who made it happen.

Reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act with provisions to help protect Native women! #VAWA4All #SavannasAct #NotInvisibleAct #MMIW

1/ In a Trump Tower press conference, held nine days before he took office, Donald Trump described his plan to separate his business from his presidency. Over the last few years, the key pillars of that plan have crumbled. Let’s go through them one-by-one.

2/ Promise 1 of Trump’s ethics plan: “No new foreign deals will be made whatsoever during the duration of President Trump’s presidency,” his attorney said. Trump did at least one new foreign deal anyway.

(See the promise at 31:57 of the video

3/ We know that the president did new a new foreign deal in office because he himself admitted it—on a financial disclosure report filed with federal ethics officials. You can see here that he sold $3.2M of land in the Dominican Republic on Jan. 29, 2018. https://t.co/U7r3VCiJPM


4/ Promise 2 of Trump’s ethics plan: He said he wasn’t going to talk about the business with his sons, Eric and Don Jr., who he put in charge of day-to-day operations. Doesn’t look like he kept that promise either.

(See promise 25:00 into the

5/ Contradicting his father, Eric Trump later told me that he did in fact plan to update his dad on the business. “Yeah, on the bottom line, profitability reports and stuff like that. But you know, that’s about it.”

President Trump has pardoned four Blackwater contractors who killed 17 Iraqi citizens including a 9 year old Ali,19 year old Ahmed and 11 year old Qasim in one of the worst acts of terrorism.

In this thread I'm sharing the heart wrenching accounts from that day in 2007.


On Sept 16 2007, at approximately 12:08 p.m. in Nisour Square Baghdad, a heavily armed Blackwater convoy consisting of four “Mamba” armored vehicles with 7.62-millimeter machine guns mounted on top made a surprise U turn as they entered the square.

[1]

While the blackwater convoy entered, a young Iraqi medical student named Ahmed Hathem al-Rubaie was driving his mother, Mahasin, in Opal sedan after dropping his father Jawad at a hospital where he worked as a pathologist. Ahmed was in the third year of medical school.

[2]

It was the month of Ramadan so they were fasting. Ahmed’s mother, was also a doctor--an allergist. They could've left Iraq but Jawad believed they were needed in the country. “I feel pain when I see doctors leaving Iraq,” he said.

[3]

Ali Khalaf Salman, an Iraqi traffic cop, was on duty in Nisour Square on that day. As Khalaf watched, the blackwater convoy came to an abrupt halt and a large white man with a mustache, positioned atop the third vehicle in the Blackwater convoy, began to fire randomly.

I thought often during the latter Trump years about the contrast with Barack Obama's "stray voltage" strategy, which involved saying provocative and often flatly untrue things to prompt discussion of Obama's preferred topics for political gain.

NEWS: Trump Campaign Paid Organizers of Pre-Riot Rally $2.7 Million

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign paid more than $2.7 million to individuals and firms that organized the Jan. 6 rally that led to violent rioters storming the U.S. Capitol, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

The payments, which span Trump’s re-election campaign, show an ongoing financial relationship between the rally’s organizers and Trump’s political operation.

The payments were all made through Nov. 23, the most recent date covered by Federal Election Commission filings, which is before the rally was publicly announced.

Eight paid Trump campaign officials were named on the permit issued on by the National Park Service for the rally, including Maggie Mulvaney, the niece of Mick Mulvaney,

THE NOTICEABLE SIGNS OBSERVED ON IMPENDING DEATH(मृत्यु के संकेत या चिन्ह)

As per Skanda Puran, Kartikeya had narrated to Muni Agastya about the signs of the coming death. This is as per this ancient scripture.


If one experiences the air coming out of right nostril continuously then it is observed that the person dies within three years. If the breathing is continuous towards upper side from both the nostrils, then the person can die within two three days.

If the breathing is through the mouth instead of the nostrils then the person may live only for two days. The person should take into coignance these signs of the occurance of any sudden death.

As per astrology when the Surya is in the 7th house and Chandrama is in its own house and the breathing is only through the right nostril then the danger exists. If you see a yellow black coloured figure who becomes invisible immediately then the life span is limited to 2 years.

If any person sneezes, passes urine, stool and semen all together he has only a year more to live. If a person sees blue coloured snakes flying in the sky then he has only six more months to live. If a person sees any thing opposite to its real self like colours

Ameda Temple
Ernakulam, Kerala 🚩
#keralatemples

Ameda Ksetram is located in the banks of Vembanad Lake. Temple is very unique and Powerful Sarpa Kavu.
Parashurama did Prathishta here. Vilakku which was lighted by Parasurama is still seen inside the temple.


The oil from this lamp is given to bhakthas for recovering from illness.

Sthala puranam says that, Once, when Parashurama was travelling through Kerala, he reached this place. As it was evening, he stepped into the Lake for Sandhya Vandanam
At that Sapthamathrukkal 👇


(Brahmini, maheshwari, kowmari, vaishnavi, varahi, indirani and chamundi) were travelling there on a tortoise through the water. The tortoise was unable to move, because the Water had made its way for Parashurama. The place where the tortoise became Still came to be known as 👇


Aama Ni Nidayam' ( Aama means tortoise) and later become ‘Ameda’. Parashurama came to know about the journey of Sapthamathrukkal. Thus, he did Prathishta for the Sapthamathrukkal here.
7 forms of Aadi Parashakthi are Sapthamathrukkal. Veerabhadra and Ganesha have Sannidhi here.


The main Garbhagriham in the temple is the Sapthamathrukkal. There are Sannidhi to Nagas, Nagayakshi and Vishnu too. Sarparadhana or snake worship is done here. Naga Panchami is famous here. Those who have Naga Dosham come here and get relieved of their Doshas.

Santkumaras-The four adorable kids of the Universe.

The Kumaras r the four sages who roam the Universe as children from the Puranic texts of Hinduism named,Sanaka, Sanatana,Sanandana& Sanatkumara.They r described as the first mind-born creations &sons of the creator God Brahma.


Brahma,who had received the knowledge of Puranas from the Universal being(God Himself), imbibed this to his 4 Kumaras.
Sanat Kumaras then taught the Puranas to Narada.Narada transmitted it to Krishna Dwaipayana who in turn scripted them in monumental epic documents of 18 Puranas.

The Vishnu Purana is recorded in two parts,the Vishnu Purana & Naradiya Purana.The teachings of Sanaka of the Kumara brothers r contained in the Naradiya Purana which is also divided in two parts, the first part containing the teachings of Sanaka &second part,teachings of others.


Born from Brahma's mind,4 Kumars took lifelong vows of celibacy against their father's wishes.They r said to wander throughout materialistic &spiritualistic universe without any desire but with the aim to teach.All 4 brothers studied Vedas from their Childhood&travelled together.


The Bhagwata Purana lists the Kumaras among the 12 Mahajanas(great devotees or bhaktas) who although being eternally liberated souls from birth, still became attracted to the devotional service of Vishnu from their already enlightened state.
