Shrey spelling 32 words in 90 seconds to win the Spelling Bee is the new greatest athletic accomplishment of 2026. I don’t even know how he said the letters that fast. Got a “Holy Mackerel” out of

Wow. @derspiegel has made millions of Nazi party membership cards searchable so Germans can look up their ancestors and get a glimpse of what they were doing under Hitler

Footage of solders walking towards the Rajouri encounter site, you can find the entire Small Arms Portfolio of the army in this clip. From 9MM to 84mm from older INSAS 1B1 rifle to latest drones & sniper rifles. The Quarter Master and Kote Havildar must be working overtime

Interestingly Indian airforce reconnaissance and maritime patrol P-8I Neptunes have been flying around the Pakistani coast for the last couple days likely submarine hunting and a show of force.

A DHS memo deeming green cards applications within the US an "extraordinary" benefit, rather than a routine process, ignores decades of immigration law and legal precedent.

Litigation over the memo is virtually certain. It's a matter of when and which plaintiffs sue.

A new video surfaced after the internet re-opened in Iran which shows the bombing of the Iranian Supreme Leader's office by the Israeli fighters on Feb 28, 2026.
The bombs look like Spice-2000.

So Islamists’ mouthpiece Al Jazeera is at it again. This time it is targeting India for cracking down on illegal migrants. This when it itself is noting they are “undocumented”. More than 7k legal migrants had died in Qatar during World Cup. @AlJazeera was silent then.

BREAKING: PRESIDENT PUTIN SAYS WESTERN MEDIA ARE OPENLY DECEIVING THEIR CITIZENS:

“I watch foreign TV channels from time to time... It's a disgrace!

They are openly deceiving their citizens.”

Russia and Afghanistan signed a military cooperation agreement yesterday, just one year after the Kremlin removed the Taliban from a list of banned terrorist groups.

Lee Kuan Yew abolished trial by jury in Singapore after determining that it was too easy for defence lawyers to appeal to racial and religious biases of juries in multicultural Singapore.

He writes in his memoirs how as a young lawyer he was able to get three clients acquitted who he was sure did commit murder. LKY writes that he "worked on the weaknesses of the jury -- their biases, their prejudices, their reluctance really to find four Muslims guilty of killing in cold blood or in a heat of great passion, religious passion, an RAF officer, his wife and child."

He writes "The judge was thoroughly disgusted. I went home feeling quite sick because I knew I'd discharged my duty as required of me, but I knew I had done wrong.”

Study after study shows that in multi ethnic societies, there is significant in-group bias on juries.

The Israel-India partnership is vital. Democracies with shared values, interests, and goals. Great to see broadening relationships in defense, technology, agriculture, science, and much more.

Afghanistan will receive MANPADs and aerial defense systems as part of the security pact that was signed earlier between the Taliban govt and Russia.

India's PHWR fleet runs on natural uranium, eliminating the enrichment step entirely. Heavy water moderator chemistry is well-established at scale in India. Zirconium alloy cladding produced domestically at NFC Hyderabad. The $3.2B per GW partly reflects a fuel cycle architecturally cheaper than the LWR chain Vogtle had to build.

Anti-Indian racism is just proof positive that racists are idiots. Oh no, these hard working people who prize education and have great cuisines are participating in the community. The horror! What kind of immigrant do you want, beyond paleness?
