Trump promised to get the US out of “stupid wars.” But now he and John Bolton are on the brink of launching us into a very stupid and costly war with Iran. Join me in sending a strong message to President Trump: The US must NOT go to war with Iran. #TULSI2020

Chand Baori is a stepwell built in 9th century in the Abhaneri village of Rajasthan. With 3,500 steps arranged in perfect symmetry, it is India’s largest and steepest stepwell and one of the most unusual staircases in the world. People would climb stairs with buckets of water.

I asked Kristi Noem about the Fourth Amendment – and her answer was stunning. If you can’t explain what the Fourth Amendment says, you shouldn’t be running a major executive agency with billions of dollars in funding.

Greetings on #HolikaDahan 🔥 Prahlada holika, Keshava temple, Somanathpur. Holika had a boon from Shiva that fire couldn't burn her. When she entered into fire with Prahlad, this boon contradicted with Dharma. Dharma won & Prahlad came out of fire unburnt.
