Donald Trump Blames Joe Biden

The latest Los Angeles wildfires have resulted in the destruction of monumental proportions and loss of life, property damage, and degradation of the environment. Former President Donald Trump had also claimed that the fires were plotted by President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party in an attempt to defame him and requested that an investigation should be done for the same to come true. No evidence was found to support this claim. Experts linked the wildfires to natural causes, such as severe drought conditions, strong Santa Ana winds, and impacts of climate change.

Ram Charan’s Game Changer Struggling to Get Audiences Due to Weak Plot and Direction

Ram Charan's Game Changer

Game Changer is a complete dud and deserves 3 out of 10. Shankar-directed, it lacks cohesion and originality in its predictable storyline and does not keep the viewer glued to the seat.
