The Re-Emergence Of Trump – What does it signify? What does it portend?

-

Former President Donald Trump is acontender to be the next American president. Trump has been recently indicatedon three additional charges. The most recent charges involve the illegal possession of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

What am I missing? How can such a person be in the running to be the next President of the United States.

Donald Trump is the front-runner among Republican hopefuls seeking to defeat Joe Biden. Why aren’t there better Republican candidates who can appeal to ordinary Americans who support the Republican party?

At a very recent Iowa campaign event for the Republican party's annual Lincoln Dinner fundraiser, Trump told attendees that he was the only candidate who can win next year's election and suggested this was the only reason he faces a raft of criminal and civil charges.

Polls have shown that Mr Trump leads over his rivals even as his legal woes mount.

Donald Trump’s chief rival Ron DeSantis is so far behind Trump that it is most likely that Trump will be the Republican nominee for the next Presidential election in 2024.

What’s Trump’s secret? How is he getting away with all this?

As someone who started following the US Presidential Elections a few months ago, I am looking for answers.

Bicycle Stories From Montpellier

  I’m in Montpellier, Southern France, for a month, to attend an intensive French language immersion course at the Accent Francais . I have classes five days a week, 3:15 hours a day on Mondays and Fridays and 4:45 hours on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I stay with a landlady who speaks only French. Weekends are mine and yesterday, I rented a bicycle for the day (paying € 15 for the pleasure) and cycled in and around Montpellier for around five hours. I found it very easy to cycle in Montpellier. Though I am used to cycling on the left and out here I have to cycle on the right, I found the going very smooth. There are cycling lanes everywhere and even if there isn’t a cycling path, bicycles are treated like any other vehicle on the road. I followed the traffic signals like every other driver on the road and felt very safe.  I had lunch at an open air restaurant, with my bicycle propped up against a nearby railing. I returned my cycle at 6:30 pm and walked back to my flat. A co

Cycling to La Grande Motte From Montpellier

Last Saturday, I once again rented a bicycle for the day and cycled to La Grande Motte, approximately around 22 kilometres from Montpellier.  The cycling track from Montpellier to La Grande-Motte has two tracks, one asphalt/tar and the other mud, except in certain sections where it is only mud.  I largely stuck with the asphalt path. La Grande-Motte is a smallish town by the sea. It’s a port as well and I read somewhere on the internet that it was built in the 1960s and 1970s.  La Grande-Motte is known for its architecture with a number of prominent buildings shaped like pyramids.  However, I didn’t spend much time admiring the architecture, instead, I relaxed on the beach. Here are a few more snaps from  La Grande-Motte.

Fixing the Floorboards (Fiction)

-
  I live in a rather old house. Vines have crept up its blackened, decayed sides and twisted themselves into an intricate maze. Blood red roses grow on large sprawling bushes in a wild, maundering fashion. At night, the moon throws an ethereal, almost ghoulish glow over the landscape, casting parts of it into soft, muted shadow. The dead trees outside sway melancholically in the gentle breeze. My friends called me crazy for buying this dilapidated mansion. It is far from town, and completely isolated. The neighborhood is practically deserted. The truth is, it was offered to me for almost nothing. The original owners left in quite a hurry. They seemed frightened, speaking of “strange happenings” and “mysterious voices”. People really do get into a tizzy over nothing. Frankly, I’m not the crazy one for accepting a deal as good as this.  I’ll admit, when laid stark and bare in the cold light of day, my residence appears unseemly. The cracked, peeling paint is the only sign of its former g
