In the last couple of years, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become a meaningful player in the new multipolar reality of the world.
India became one of the few members of the space club when it landed, for the first time, a probe on the Moon’s south pole.
He flexed his geopolitical muscles both at the BRICS Summit in South Africa, and also as the G20 host.

Then, both Canada and, lately, the US have accused the Indian state of being behind assassination plots against Sikh separatists, that New Delhi considers ‘terrorists’.

As a result, the recent state-level elections were seen as a test of Modi’s leadership.
Elections in Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Chhattisgarh states have frequently been described as the ‘semi-finals’ to the grand finale, which is the 2024 national election.

Modi’s ruling party ended up tightening its grip over India’s populous northern belt.
The New York Times reported:
“The results of voting for the governments of four states, with a cumulative population of more than 240 million people, were another blow to the dwindling fortunes of the main opposition party, the Indian National Congress. The party, which ruled for a majority of India’s history as a republic, has struggled to claw its way back after Mr. Modi rose to national power in 2014.
The Congress party was hoping to use the state elections to build momentum for national elections next spring, but instead lost all three states in which it was pitted against Mr. Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party, or B.J.P.”

Modi’s B.J.P. party re-elected its government in Madhya Pradesh, with an even larger margin, and also toppled Congress Party candidates in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan.
“’When the Congress goes up against the formidable organizational and electoral machinery of the B.J.P., burnished by Prime Minister Modi’s charisma, it collapses’, Arati Jerath, a New Delhi-based political analyst, said about the opposition’s performance in the north. ‘This is the B.J.P.’s big advantage in 2024’.”
B.J.P. appears to be in a comfortable position ahead of the elections in the spring.
“Mr. Modi already has a big plan for further galvanizing his base of support: the inauguration in January of a massive Hindu temple in Ayodhya, in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, that is being constructed on the site of a destroyed mosque. Demands for the construction of the temple helped turn Hindu nationalism into a major political movement in the 1990s and make the B.J.P. a national power.”

Analysts say that ideological clarity and charismatic national leadership helped Modi’s party.
“The B.J.P. stands clearly for Hindu nationalism and its divisive vision for turning India into a Hindu-first state. Mr. Modi, projecting himself as an ambitious champion of development as well as Hindu interests, also has a strong pull with voters across the country. His government has used the resources of the top-heavy and unequal Indian economy for well-targeted welfare schemes, handed out often in his name. In states where local B.J.P. leaders were struggling in the elections, it was Mr. Modi’s face on the posters; the handouts for voters were presented as ‘Modi’s guarantee’.”

(Note: Thank you for supporting American businesses like the one presenting a sponsored message below and purchasing through the links which benefits Gateway Pundit. We appreciate your support!)
The fake news outlets and woke corporations that influence our government from the shadows don’t want you to hear about this “secret boycott”…
Unlike most boycotts which do little to secure victory for conservative American values…
This one is making a real impact.
You have no doubt seen the ripple effect caused by this tidal wave.
Woke companies like Target, Ben & Jerry’s and Kohl’s are down billions as patriots move their spending elsewhere.
One family-owned business is responsible for a lot of that shift.
They have given Americans the chance to put their money where their values are — and 2 million patriots have already shopped with them.
On top of being a family-owned business for the last 35 years, their products are:
Made with the highest quality
Affordable for even the tightest budgets
And they help support American jobs and families
This company has been shipping quality products to homes across the country without relying on any of the retail giants.
If you’ve never heard of them before, that’s no surprise.
The only way to shop with them is through a private invite.
Here’s what other American patriots who’ve made the switch had to say:
“I love that I can get the highest quality US made products at wholesale prices, and support American business and families. Because of this I am no longer funding the enemy!” – John
“When I found out the natural family owned brands I was using were bought out by these mega-corporations, I knew I had to make the switch.” – Jessie
“I reluctantly decided to test the store and was shocked to find out how much I loved the products and service. On top of that, the prices are great. They have gained a lifelong customer!” – Gene
Since everyone gets personal attention, they will take requests in the order in which they come in. So if you are ready, ask for your invite now or you might be far down on the list. They have a great team, but they can only do so much and they’ll work on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you’re ready to join the “secret boycott” through Patriot Switch, then click the link below and fight back.
Remember: you will get a personal call, text or email.

The cartels, smugglers and the Mexican Government know that there will be no consequences. TGP recently reported on a smuggler who was taunting Border Patrol agents while getting illegals across the border.

Over 10 million illegals have crossed the border since January of 2021 TGP had reported earlier.
US Border Patrol apprehended 3.2 million illegal aliens in fiscal year 2023 (Oct 1-Sept 30). Since Joe Biden was installed in January 2021, the number is estimated at 10 million illegal border crossers. That number equals about the population of 41 individual states. Let that one sink in.

Former Prince William County registrar Michele White courtesy of PrinceWilliamTimes.com
The former general registrar of Prince William County, Virginia, Michele White, was arrested in September 2022 on two felonies and a misdemeanor relating to the 2020 election: election officer neglect duty (24.2-10001), Election officer corrupt conduct (24.2-1001) and False statement on required form (24.2-1016).
In a “surprising twist”, however, both felony counts were dropped, leaving only the misdemeanor count of “neglect of duty by an election officer.”
On Friday, Assistant Attorney General James Herring filed the request for dismissal of the felony counts after a key witness, Sean Mulligan, changed his testimony.
PrinceWilliamTimes.com reports:
“In preparation for the scheduled jury trial, the Commonwealth interviewed Sean Mulligan, a key witness for the prosecution who had been previously interviewed by investigators of the Office of the Attorney General,” Herring wrote in the court motion. “During the interview … Mulligan conveniently and quite surprisingly provided a different version of events from that which he had previously provided to investigators.”
“Confronted with significant inconsistent statements made by a key Commonwealth’s witness,” prosecutors are “no longer able to proceed to trial on the two felony charges,” Herring wrote in the motion.
There are no further details provided in court records about what Mulligan was expected to testify to, though Mulligan was employed at the county office of elections during the 2020 election. Judge Carroll Weimer Jr. approved the motion to drop the charges.
Just the News recently obtained documents related to the case alleging that the former registrar “altered election results” during the 2020 election. The filing claimed that “one Commonwealth allegation is that Ms. White altered the election results within the state reporting system, VERIS, and that her alterations resulted in the false reporting of the election results in Prince William County.” The election records from 2020, according to the filing, are still held under seal by the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the county and have been requested to be released by the defense in the case.
The current registrar, Eric Olsen, was a witness for the Commonwealth after he discovered “anomalies” in the 2020 election paperwork. As part of the prosecution, he had been asked to perform an “audit of the election records for the purpose of performing a hand count.” Olsen estimated the audit would cost $103,000, or $0.45 per ballot. Initially, the defense had motioned that the Court cover the costs, but that motion was denied.
Also in question were three cell phones that the defense sought to access “in order to extract meta data from pictures that are material evidence in the Commonwealth’s prosecution of Ms. White.” An estimated $11,000 was also requested, and the defense was denied permission to copy and analyze that data.
The affidavit for subpoena references a “Mr. Short” (who is not party to this action) and states that he “has the following in his possession or under his control; electronic communications that were sent from or directed to the Defendant.”
According to the filing, three emails were also set to be introduced by the Commonwealth as evidence against Ms. White. Those emails are titled “call me please,” “RE CAP MASTER” and “EAC_Data_Summit_Philly,” although there is no reference to the contents of the emails.
It is unclear if the above-mentioned evidence will be used in the pursuance of a misdemeanor conviction.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on discrepancies in the 2022 election in Prince William County regarding mismatches between the number of physical paper ballots cast versus what was reported by the machine scanner’s tally of ballots.
The discrepancy resulted in a hand count, which was not able to reconcile any of the differences, but was able to determine that it was, of course, “not likely coming from machine malfunctions.”
Ms. White was not the registrar at the time in Prince William County, which houses the CIA’s Headquarters at Quantico within its borders.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday walked out of the press briefing room after a reporter asked questions about Hunter Biden’s payments to Joe Biden.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer on Monday released subpoenaed bank records revealing Joe Biden received direct monthly payments from Hunter Biden’s business entity, Owasco PC.
Hunter Biden’s investment vehicle Owasco made DIRECT payments (screenshots below) to Joe Biden, according to newly obtained bank records.
Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed he never took a dime from China and was never involved with his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings.
Real Clear reporter Philip Wegmann asked Karine Jean-Pierre about the new bank records released by Chairman Comer.
“The White House has said repeatedly that the President and his son were never in business together. They’ve said that repeatedly also in this room. According to bank records obtained by the House Oversight Committee, though, one of Hunter Biden’s businesses Owasco PC set up direct payments to the President. Did the President accept payment? And why would there be such an arrangement if they were never business together? Or, if there was a wall of separation, as the President has previously said?” Philip Wegmann asked KJP.
Karine Jean-Pierre dodged the question and walked out of the briefing room.
“So, I have to be clear with you. I have not seen that report, so I would have to refer you to my colleagues over at the White House counsel’s office on that particular question,” KJP said as she closed her binder.

“Did the president accept payment [from Hunter] and why would there be such an arrangement if they were never in business together?”
