Mumbai: All-rounder Mitchell Santner has been ruled out of New Zealand's Test series against India. But when the awards were announced at the end of the series, the prize of Rs 1 lakh was in Santoner's name.
In the second Test in Mumbai, Santouner was awarded Rs 1 lakh for his outstanding performance on the field as a substitute.
India won the toss and elected to bat in the first innings. The player was fielded as a replacement. 46th over of Indian innings. Shreyas Iyer hit the first ball of the over over William Somerville over the midwicket. But Santner had other plans for that shot, which confirmed everyone was sixes.
Santiner tried to catch the ball with incredible May flexibility from near the boundary line. But he was sure the ball would fall outside the boundary and he was throwing the ball out. The rescue of the star was received with applause from the audience. It also helped the Santouner to save five runs.
After the match, Sant'Ner won the Save of the Match award.

We're coming into the age now the place we are able to see the have an impact on of Social Media on an entire generation. There's no precedent for it, no longitudinal learn that has watched the prolonged-time period have an impact on of our brilliant objects and digital interconnectedness — and apart from the traditional risk-piece about distraction and the dumbing down of the USA, it's nonetheless elaborate to foresee how our collective closeness will make us higher, or worse, or each.
1) We're united through common foibles, trends, and epiphanies.
Socially Awkward Penguins, detrimental luck Brians, and Philosoraptors can all gather in a room and nod. Correct right here now, eventually, is a role where which you can be comfortable in conjunction with your horribly embarrassing self.
Ordinarily the most more childish stuff like Scumbag dad and mom or Unhelpful teacher are with no trouble lame claims on entitlement from spoiled children. However then surfaces a just right-articulated insecurity you most mighty inspiration you had. And which you could breathe out.
2) We need to be more nuanced in procedure and point of view.
Virtually my favourite meme wishes to be First World issues, considering the fact that it's an immediate punch-to-the-face to so many ridiculous Westerners. Amidst the pile of trivial memes that come and go, numerous them righteously tackle those difficult realities like hidden racism, double requisites, shallow materialism, and even higher social problems. In the occasion you've been racist this whole time in any other case you're Foul Bachelor Frog or fool Nerd lady or Friendzone Fiona (or the dude who whines about Friendzoning) — which you wouldn't outrun yourself anymore.
Memes are like mirrors for our inside-insanity. Which you could deny your pal's coronary heart-to-heart about your issues, however when some foolish photograph with a biting caption rolls up to your show, the gig is up. You're caught; the quilt is long past and your excuses shrivel. When in fact made humorous, it's easier to digest but no much less official. Let it burn.
Social psychology talks about intellectual shortcuts referred to as "heuristics" that allow us to make the quickest assumption. We are naturally inclined to make use of the least number of cognitive faculties to examine any given crisis, which is why when a driver cuts you off, you mechanically presume "he's beneath the have an impact on of alcohol" or "he's a waste of human life." that may additionally lead to prejudice and bias, even with newly presented evidence: for the reason that men and women are rough-pressed to believe extra complicated.
3) we're competent to share the dumbest quirky recollections with individuals who get it.
A few of those nostalgic Nineteen Eighties kids memes simply elevate me once more to the "good historic days" before Jersey Shore and the Kardashians, after we drew these S-shaped diamonds on our Trapper Keepers and waited on Saturdays for "Are You fearful of the dark?" What's better than nostalgia is shared nostalgia, and it's fun to understand we're not the one ones who sang the Rugrats theme monitor inside the shower.
4) They're just dang humorous to snort at, and laughter is first-rate.
The main time I ever saw Karate Kyle, I practically misplaced my breakfast.
A number of those memes have me laughing complex enough to be ashamed of myself. It will be best if even 1/2 of us took ourselves less severely. I'm not partial to the speedy-shaggy dog story culture where we drown the whole factor in sarcasm and mock, however I'm undoubtedly interested by a bit self-deprecation. An ego is in consistent danger of swelling: we wish pruning.
If a meme is simply about attending to understand one a different, then the sector wants this form of affection: the kind that loves you anyway.

How Do I Talk to My Kid About Porn?
Answers from four of the most distinguished sexperts working today
In 2018, the talk that precedes the talk is seemingly about porn. It is, after all, more or less everywhere. Which makes it almost impossible not to stumble upon — no matter the vigilance parents practice to prevent their children from consuming it.
And so, what do you say to a kid who's laid their eyes on a porn scene for the first time?
That conversation — like the conversation around sexting — is essentially brand new, a 21st century parenting problem that those who came before us didn't have to deal with. Or at least didn't have to deal with on such a scale. (Once upon a time, porn required either a VHS tape and VCR or a DVD and DVD player, not exactly the kind of electronics you could readily sneak into your bedroom or bathroom like a smartphone.)
None of this, however, is to say that there's nothing out there on the topic. You just need to know where to look — and who to ask. Hence, the mini-roundtable of sexperts below, each of whom have made explaining porn to tweens and teens a big part of what they teach these days.
David Ley, clinical psychologist, sex therapist and author of Ethical Porn for Dicks: A Man's Guide to Responsible Viewing Pleasure: Parents need to vaccinate their kids against the potential dangers of pornography. How do they do that? Talk to them. Explain that porn is fantasy, it's not real life. It makes sex look easy and meaningless. It doesn't show all the communication, negotiation, planning, integrity and self-awareness that's required for good sex. Then, it's their job to explain to their kids what they think good, healthy sex is. If they neglect this job, then they're abdicating responsibility.
Obviously they don't have to demonstrate anything or get graphic with their own personal details. What's important is sharing their sexual values — how they want to treat others and how they want to be treated. That way their kid has a sexual role model.
Above all, don't shame kids for their sexual feelings or reactions to porn. If that happens, it becomes a secret that the kid is left all alone with. Instead, normalize porn, sexual arousal, curiosity and even the complicated feelings of interest, arousal, fear and disgust. The more children are allowed to have these feelings, the more they'll be able to ask for help. That should be the ultimate goal. Kids are too young to be able to navigate porn in a healthy way and can only do so if they can talk to a parent about it.
Celina Criss, certified sex coach and dean of students at Sex Coach U: It's our responsibility as parents to raise aware, empowered youth who have the capacity to be conscious consumers of any media (porn, TV, anything). Being anti-porn doesn't achieve this. We serve children and youth better by focusing on comprehensive sex education that includes anatomy, physiology, reproduction, contraception, STI prevention, consent and pleasure.
Buck Angel, porn performer, motivational speaker and sex and wellness entrepreneur: Most porn was never intended to be educational, but there's no stopping youth from watching, so it's the way many young people learn about sex now. And while it's important to teach your kids that most porn is fantasy, more and more porn is being made that does use its platform to educate. I, for example, made a series called Sexing The Transman for this reason. It shows trans men engaging in masturbation and having sex with one another. These videos exhibit transmasculine bodies in sexual ways in the hopes that other trans men can feel more comfortable. Especially for young queers, a new movement is beginning that uses porn platforms for this exact reason — education.
Anne Hodder, a sex educator who, among other things, teaches porn literacy and healthy sexuality to teens and adults: There are many directors who are intentionally making ethical- and education-focused porn in order to serve that need, but the porn that kids are most likely to come across online is what's found on tube sites, Tumblr, Reddit and other social hubs — the majority of which feature traditional entertainment-centric porn. It's essential that kids understand that this kind of porn is fiction and what they see on screen is there to entertain and get a rise out of the audience (pun intended, I suppose). Also: That the people engaging with one another are paid professional performers who communicate consent and set boundaries with one another off-camera, practice self-care including getting regular STI screenings and spend time preparing before the scene begins — all things that we don't see once the cameras are rolling and all important parts of a healthy non-professional sexual relationship.
We don't watch Jackie Chan movies to learn martial arts, right? We don't enjoy the Fast & Furious because they teach us how to drive. And we don't treat action movies as though they're true-crime documentaries. Remind kids to treat porn like they would any other fictional movie then — it's fun to watch and inspires an emotional/physical response, but what they see on screen (unless it's specifically education-focused!) isn't an accurate depiction of how sexual relationships exist in real life.
Porn literacy is an essential part of sexuality education, and there are plenty of resources available for parents who aren't sure where to start. Scarleteen.com is a great site made for teen viewers; programs like Start Strong offer support groups in different cities in the country; and Planned Parenthood has a strong network of educators and counselors available to provide unbiased, accurate sexual health information.
In other words, if this is something you don't feel comfortable talking to your kids about, there are definitely other resources out there for you.

Glen M. Jorgensen
by Colleen Chilson | Feb 17, 2021 | Obituaries | 9 comments
Glen Magnus Jorgensen of Waverly, MN, passed away peacefully on Tuesday morning, February 16, 2021, at the age of 93.
Glen was born in Oster, Woodland Township, Wright County on October 22, 1927 to Magnus and Alice (Lindgren) Jorgensen. He was baptized and confirmed at Nylunda Lutheran Church, Lake Mary.
As a first generation American, born to a Danish immigrant father, Glen took great pride in his Scandinavian heritage and passed on endless family history and stories from his childhood. He often shared with people that he was born and raised in the house in which he lived for his entire life and "never moved off the spot".
Glen began his career at Millerbernd Manufacturing Company in 1947 as one of six employees and retired in 1990. He was proud of his 43 years with the company and continued to follow their ongoing success and accomplishments throughout his retirement.
At the age of 18, Glen drove his Model A Ford across the country to California and back. He became a licensed private pilot at the age of 18 and enjoyed flying as a pastime for decades. At the age of 19, Glen piloted a Taylorcraft BC-12-D, a single engine plane, to California for a west coast adventure with a friend. As an avid outdoorsman and conservationist, he passed his worldly knowledge and love of the great outdoors to his sons-in-law and grandsons, who were his pride and joy.
Glen enjoyed fishing, deer hunting in northern Minnesota, goose hunting in Canada and elk hunting in Montana. Additional hobbies included gun collecting, restoring antique John Deere tractors, planting thousands of trees, maintaining his beautiful five-acre property and re-engineering anything he could get his hands on.
During their retirement, Glen and Diane enjoyed their remote little cabin near Canada, snowmobiling trips, airshows, ice fishing and a few winter getaways on Sanibel Island, FL. Glen was a brilliant man who will be greatly missed by all who knew him!
Survived by his loving wife of 65 years: Diane (Hecksel) Jorgensen; daughters and sons-in law: Carla and David Sipprell of Orono, MN and Becky Jorgensen and Robert Jones of Minnetrista, MN; grandsons: Carter Jones and wife Elizabete Romanovska, Colton Jones, Kyle Sipprell and Charles Sipprell; many nieces, nephews and dear friends.
Preceded in death by his parents, Magnus and Alice Jorgensen, his siblings Dolores Domjahn, Myles Jorgensen, Elaine Pawelk, John Ordean Jorgensen, DeVern Jorgensen, and Orlyn Knott and by a special nephew Ron Jorgensen.
Funeral Services for Glen Jorgensen will be held on Sunday, February 21, 2021 at 2:00 P.M. at The Chilson Funeral Home in Winsted. Pastor Jeffrey M. Engholm will officiate. Interment will follow at Nylunda Swedish Lutheran Cemetery.
A visitation will be held on Sunday, February 21st from 12 Noon until time of services at the funeral home.
Honorary Pallbearers; Ed Claessen, Harlan Hecksel, Gary Jorgensen and David Millerbernd.
Pallbearers; his four grandsons, Carter, Colton, Kyle and Charlie, nephews Troy Hecksel and Terry Jorgensen, and nephew-in-law Jerry Schultz.

So sorry Diane, Becky, and Carla. He sounds like a very talented man. Treasure those memories. Find peace in the promises of our Lord.
Tracey and Paul Lambrecht on February 18, 2021 at 11:59 pm
Sorry for your loss!
Ed & Sue Claessen on February 19, 2021 at 2:10 pm
Godspeed, Glen. You are missed.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds,-and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of-wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air….
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor ever eagle flew-
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God
DEbbie Sipprell on February 20, 2021 at 3:28 pm
Diane, Becky & Carla;
I'm sorry you lost your husband, Dad.
It sounds like he had a wonderful life And that I know he meant the world to you.
My Sincere condolences to you all and your children may God bless you all.
Michelle L Saccoman on February 20, 2021 at 8:36 pm
Thinking of you all! Hold on to the many great memories! You have all been very blessed to have such a beautiful person in your lives! Hugs and kisses to all!
Love, Tony, Michelle and family

My father, Alfred (Fred) Edner Wolfe 1920-2019, lived near Glen and his family in Oster 1932-1944. My brothers and I drifted off to dreamland many a night after being told tales of those years on the farm.
Ingenuity seems to be in Oster's drinking water. Along with the Jorgensen influence at Millerbernd, Fred liked to tell the story of Glen flying out to CA and visiting him and his wife Mary when they lived in Oakland.
I visited Oster and Nylanda during summer 2018. Rest in peace Jorgensens.

An Indonesian flavoring paste is not demure. It will announce its presence in your kitchen as soon as you chop the garlic, shallots, ginger, galangal and turmeric, and blitz them with candlenuts, black peppercorns, cumin and coriander. The aroma then balloons as it fries in hot peanut oil, perfuming any available pocket of air with the vague familiarity of Thai and Indian cooking.
But this intermingling of spices has its own identity. It is Indonesian. In particular, this flavoring paste imbues chicken stock scented with lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves to create soto, or a spiced chicken soup from Java that is finished with fried shallots, celery leaves and glass noodles. After eating a bowl of soto, you will wonder how such complexity can come from a relatively simple soup.
Exoticism exists so rarely in food these days. Travel, culinary obsession and technology have trussed the continents of cuisines together. Somehow, Indonesian food remains a mystery.
James Oseland has remedied that with the publication of his book "Cradle of Flavor: Home Cooking From the Spice Islands of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore" (W.W. Norton, 384 pages, $35), which is the culmination of two decades of traveling throughout the region, exploring the cultures and collecting recipes from home cooks.
"So much of the food is like a great big hug," said Oseland, who is the new executive editor of Saveur magazine. "There are certain kinds of Southeast Asian foods that can be a bit jangly or uncomfortable to a Western palate. But there's not a great learning curve when you encounter these foods (featured in the book) for the first time because they're so homely and resonant."
Oseland, originally from the Bay Area, first traveled to Indonesia in 1982 after a classmate at the San Francisco Art Institute, where he was studying film, invited him to visit for the summer. He was hooked from his initial sip of stroop, a lime-syrup cordial served as a welcome beverage.
During the time he spent in Jakarta with the family of his classmate, Tanya Alwi, he slowly absorbed the local culture bite by bite. Breakfasts consisted of chile fried rice topped with a fried egg and paired with any leftover curries from the night before.
At a party hosted by the Alwi family, there were no fewer than 30 dishes awaiting guests, including tuna braised with tomatoes and spices, a dish from Banda; rendang, a beef dish topped with shredded lime leaves, which came from Padang in West Sumatra; a Javanese chicken curry infused with cinnamon sticks and coriander. There were dishes from Singapore and Malaysia, too.
Oseland quickly discovered that the diverse foods on the table represented a "culinary map" of cuisines that were "deeply connected in spite of the miles separating them."
At the end of the summer, Oseland decided to put his studies on hold and remain in Indonesia. He stayed long enough to need to renew his visa five times. Each time he was required to leave the country, so he ended up in Singapore or Malaysia.
"Truly, I feel a gratitude to this part of the world and the people I met," Oseland said. "I felt a moral need to write this book; it was my quiet attempt at illuminating this part of the world that has given so much."
It is easy to lump together all of Southeast Asia as one or a couple of cuisines, because of the common threads: spices such as nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and coriander, and aromatics such as lemongrass, galangal, turmeric and ginger. But because the Spice Islands served as a cultural crossroads, the culinary influences are distinctive.
"I had come from a neutral tone of palate," Oseland explained about his choice of title. "For the most part, I grew up with meat and potatoes."
Indonesia became his cradle of flavor.
Landing in this foreign place jolted his senses. The food was the ideal conduit of the intricacies of the culture. The ingredients, he said, offered a "vivid, passionate palette of colors that reflected the warm people (he) met and still meets" when he visits.
Throughout the book, Oseland recounts serendipitous encounters with locals who eventually share a meal with him. While he had to learn how to trust in that way of traveling and being, he did open himself up to the possibilities.
"It doesn't happen here because we're so caught up in a cerebral way of living; we're so paranoid. In Indonesia, I literally met people in the markets and followed them home."
As we read these stories, we travel with Oseland, taking in the adventure and contemplating our own journey there someday. The recipes are compelling in their promise to deliver bold flavors. Their preparation can be challenging in how the ingredient lists require you to shop in a new language.
"It can seem kind of daunting from the length of the recipes," Oseland said, "but once you get into process you will see there's a rhythm. Once you understand the fundamentals, the rest is a piece of cake."
Or a delicious bowl of soup.
Prepare the fried shallots and set aside.
Combine the chicken, 2 quarts of water, lemongrass, lime leaves and salt in a 4-quart saucepan, Dutch oven or soup pot. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a roiling boil. Using a large spoon, skim off the foam that rises to the top. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let the liquid cook at a lively simmer until the chicken is tender, about 45 minutes. Continue to skim off the foam every 10 minutes or so to yield a clear broth.
Meanwhile, make the flavoring paste. Place the peppercorns, coriander and cumin in a small food processor. Pulse until the spices are ground to a dusty powder, about 2 minutes.
Add the shallots, garlic, candlenuts, turmeric, galangal and ginger to the ground spices. Pulse until you have a smooth paste the consistency of creamy mashed potatoes. If the paste won't puree properly and repeatedly creeps up the side of the processor instead of grinding, add up to 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon at a time, periodically turning the processor off and scraping the unground portions down toward the blade.
Heat the oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Test to see if the oil is the right temperature by adding a pinch of the ground paste. The paste should sizzle slightly around the edges, not fry aggressively or sit motionless. When the oil is ready, add all the paste and saute, stirring as needed to prevent scorching, until the paste begins to separate from the oil and the aroma of coriander and cumin takes over, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the flavoring paste and the chicken pieces to the stock and stir well to combine. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow to simmer until the essence of the flavoring paste begins to bind with the stock, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the glass noodles in a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let the noodles soak until they soften, 10 to 15 minutes. Once they're soft, hold the noodles in a tight bunch and, with a pair of kitchen shears or a knife, snip or cut them into pieces 4 to 5 inches long (longer pieces can be tricky to eat, as the noodles are quite slippery). Drain the softened noodles into a colander and set aside.
Taste the simmering soup for salt, and add a pinch more if needed. Remove the pan from the heat, add the lime juice and stir to combine. Taste once more for salt.
To serve the soup, you can divide the glass noodles among shallow, wide soup bowls, ladle the soup over them and sprinkle the fried shallots and celery greens on top just before serving. Or, add the noodles to the soup while it's still in the pot, and then transfer the soup to a tureen and garnish with shallots and celery just before serving. In both cases, put the lime quarters at the center of the table for guests to squeeze into the soup as desired. Serve the soto warm, not piping hot, which will allow guests to discern its layered flavors more clearly. It will taste even more delicious reheated the next day.
Note: You can buy fried shallots in bags or plastic containers at Asian markets. To make your own: Cut 7 shallots (about 6 ounces) into paper-thin slices. Pour peanut oil to a depth of 1 inch into a 1 1/2 quart saucepan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. Add as many shallot slices as will comfortably fit in the pan. Using a slotted spoon, move the shallots around until they turn a uniform light-gold color, about 2 to 3 minutes. When ready, remove from oil and drain on paper towels. They will crisp up after a minute or two.
Place the peppercorns in a small food processor and pulse until coarsely ground, about 30 seconds. Add the garlic, turmeric, salt and ginger and pulse until you have a relatively smooth paste. Don't worry if each peppercorn isn't fully ground; bits and pieces of pepper are fine. If the paste doesn't puree properly and repeatedly creeps up the side of the food processor instead of grinding, add up to 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon at a time, periodically turning the processor off and scraping the unground portions down toward the blade as you go.
Heat the oil in a wok, Dutch oven or 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Test to see if the oil is the right temperature by adding a pinch of the ground paste. The paste should sizzle slightly around the edges, not fry aggressively or sit motionless. When the oil is ready, add all the paste and saute, stirring as needed to prevent scorching, until the garlic no longer smells raw and the paste begins to separate from the oil, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the water and crab pieces and raise the heat to medium-high. Stir-fry the crab pieces, stirring them constantly with the spatula to combine them with the flavoring paste and to prevent scorching, until the crab pieces are hot and their surface is evenly coated with the flavoring paste, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the crab pieces to a large serving platter and serve immediately. Eat this delightfully messy dish with small hammers or crab crackers and shellfish forks to remove the meat from the shells.

Homage to the USA

Patriotism is supporting your country all of the time, and your government when it deserves it. Mark Twain
I was born in Oregon and spent most of my childhood there. We fished for crawdads in mountain creeks during the summer, took inner-tubes down small rapids, climbed the trestles for the Great Western Pacific trains, biked everywhere through the fields and pastoral lands, with the gentle mountains in the distance. We 'drag raced' down Main Street on the weekends, saved money for the state fair and Turkey Rama, picked magic mushrooms in the forests, and went to Friday night football at the high school – not necessarily because of interest in the game, but because it was a community social event. My family regularly camped and hiked at Neskowin, Canon Beach, and Newport City, and ate clam chowder at "Mo's." I remember that my bright red feet from the cold of the Pacific Ocean would not deter me from playing in it. We grew up skiing on Mount Hood, and dining at a pizza barn near Government Camp, as well as hiking at Multnomah Falls and through the Cascades. Family holidays involved traveling in our VW van with a styrofoam mattress laid out in the back for we children, staying in Motel 6's or KOA campsites. I remember that hanging our washing out to dry made it smell even lovelier after a rain, and lying on my back in order to look up at the leaves of the many ancient oak and maple trees on my family's property (though raking them in the autumn was an onerous task). Badminton and croquet over a bumpy, rooty lawn. Trading candy with my siblings after the Halloween haul on the floor of our den. Thanksgiving as the only time my father would cook things simply.
Typical to a small town girl, I moved away as soon as I graduated from high school: first to Portland, then Seattle, then London, then New York, then Los Angeles, then Berlin, then back to London, then to France. I've now lived in Europe for a third of my life, and half of my adult life. I'm formally naturalizing as a French citizen on Thanksgiving this year (not through my own design, but because that's what the Minister of Interior set as the date). I've always maintained that one place is not "better" than another place – they simply represent our different needs and desires at a given time in our life. The inherent values in Europe, of a safety net for the public, even as there are capitalistic markets, align with my personal values: healthcare for all, housing subsidies for those in need, mandatory WEEKS off of holiday, paid, per year, plus personal days, and free (or almost free) university education. Additionally, the pace of life is slower in Europe, and I appreciate this because I believe the frenetic pace of American life is debilitating and anxiety provoking for the populace.
Visiting the USA each year, keeping in close touch with my family, and assiduously reading the global news each day, means I have watched all the negative elements of my native society become exaggerated: workers not taking the minimal days off they have 'cause they can't afford to, or they're afraid they'll lose their jobs; the employment figures being misrepresented, as many people have to work two or three jobs to make ends meet; there is no time for most Americans to simply rest, 'cause they are always working, and stores and restaurants are always open, implicitly encouraging the people to consume more than they need; the cost of an emergency or a long term illness fells a person or a family who does not have adequate healthcare coverage; even as the USA has the most highly trained teachers in the world, they are paid the least and the public school system receives substantially less each year in federal funds than the penal system does; diets for most Americans are evidence of a cultural polarity – there are those that are hyper 'healthy' with diet and exercise, and those that are obese. Suffice to say, that the milieu that I want to live in is one in which there is a social safety net for those that pay their taxes (however nominal), and people are encouraged to have time to eat, think, and spend time with their families and friends.
That is NOT to say that I am not also in love with my native land, the USA. I love it and it hurts me personally when people criticize it, even as I may agree with them intellectually. For me, I think of my interesting, liberal childhood, the gorgeous and diverse nature of the land itself, its film, its music, its ingenuity in all things, and my heart fills with nostalgia, pride, and gratefulness. Even as I have lived abroad in tough times – the Reagan/Thatcher reign, the GATT Talks 1994, Bush Jr's reign, to name a few – I have always been proud to be American 'cause I believe there's a certain 'energy' to us, both good and bad. But now, to see my beloved country so divided within itself, and so alienated from the rest of the world, truly breaks my heart and makes me feel ashamed of what it happening there.
The intolerance and loathing from both sides of the aisle – the fact that there ARE just two choices in American politics – is shockingly fierce and illiberal. To observe cynical, self-serving politicians capitalize on the American people's personal fears and anxieties, encouraging tribalism, so that the people will be too busy infighting and creating scapegoats, that they will not notice what is happening to their land and their laws, is starkly shocking and sad. It's as though all the goodness of the USA – its receptivity to new ideas, its consequent ingenuity, its warmth, its diverse and gorgeous cities, natural landscapes and wildlife – are succumbing entirely to its underside – blind ambition, greed, racism, anger, violence, and ignorance. My defense of my native land in conversation here usually goes along the lines of explaining the context for the current situation (the electoral college, the Southern Strategy, Super PACs, Fox News, and an effective smear campaign against Socialism as "commie" interests, the vast swaths of land effecting perspectives), but this falls deaf on European ears. Ironically, they seem to believe MORE in the idea of personal responsibility for one's destiny socially and politically than Americans generally do, even as we are professed individualists. Even so, they will politely listen to my contextual explanations if the wine keeps flowing, then they predict that it's simply a repetition of historical dominance of given countries, the fall of the Roman Empire, so to speak, and if there is any fear here, it's that it will effect the world order 'cause there will be no one to lead in global policies that monitor corruption, extortion, human rights infringements, and the need for clean energy. Lamentably, the USA and its leaders cannot be quarantined.
For the first time in history, Europeans know what a midterm election in the USA is and are paying attention. I'm pensive and worried today 'cause I really don't know what tomorrow's vote will bring. I'm skeptical that despite all the noise, voters will NOT turn out in the droves that they need to in order to offset the gerrymandering and voter repression. I worry Trump, enabled by sociopathic ideologues like Pence, McConnell, and Ryan, will declare the results – IF they indicate congress will have a Democratic majority – as false and refuse to adhere to the vote of the citizens. My Danish husband says, "That's impossible! That would be breaking the law, no?" I don't know what to say to that. A president who has been accused of sexual harassment repeatedly, found fraudulent in his financial declarations and business endeavors, who has never revealed his tax returns publicly, who has been 'caught' telling as many as 200 lies in a single week publicly, whose administration has altered law and protocol to put two justices on the Supreme Court and push through over 50 more judges on the lower courts, and who has turned back clean air and clean water protections, food protections, and undermined national parks borders, caged children in privately profiting detention centers that refuse elected officials entry into them, and now has used the US military as an election gimmick to capitalize on his bases' fears and racism (ostensibly declaring martial law)…well, it's not inconceivable that he and the sitting GOP's will just refuse to budge, no? What will the world do then? Perhaps it will be just the excuse to invade and topple this regime. But who could do it? China, Russia and Saudi Arabia have, together, the military might to take on the USA, but why would they do that when they have so much invested in the country? Alas…
Despite my worry and misgivings, I will try to believe that America will re assert itself as a land of hope for all. As the Marquis de Lafayette wrote about the USA after the French helped the Americans to overthrow the tyranny of the English: "Humanity has won its battle. Liberty now has a country."
