What’s In A Name? Trump wants his Non Disclosure Agreement violation by Stormy Daniels to go to Arbitration where proceedings are private, instead of to Court. Daniels’ lawyer is fighting that, saying the American public must know everything. The oddity in this is that Trump did not sign the NDA under his name, using the pseudonym David Dennison. Perhaps he was inspired by Stormy Daniels herself whose actual name is Stephanie Clifford.
Rape Or Not? India is one of those countries that don’t require consent of the wife for sex within marriage, making force seem permissible. That is being tested by a Parsi doctor’s wife, herself a doctor who took her husband to court for rape resulting from forcing her to perform oral sex. The judge kinda half-agreed. He censured the husband saying it was wrong, but didn’t punish him since it is not against the law. Will Indian lawmakers rectify the anomaly? Not Like Biscuits. V K Singh a retired General and now Minister of State is reported to have called heartless, shameless and reprehensible, a request for compensation by the kin of 38 Indians found killed and buried for a year by IS in Iraq. So incensed was he that he likened their plea to asking for biscuits. Actually heartless, shameless and reprehensible are the terms that should be applied to the Indian Govt who knew that the 38 victims (one wore a burqa and escaped, in the manner of Shivaji from Aurangzeb in the mid-17th century) were long dead but kept the relatives hopes alive by treating them like mushrooms; in the dark and fed with shit.
