🇹🇷🇵🇰🚨 Pakistani Major General Abbas Ghumman admitted that Pakistani pilots filled the ranks of the Turkish Air Force after the failed 2016 coup attempt and proudly boasted of Pakistan's role in the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus and Turkey's support for Pakistan on Kashmir.

Recall that there were reports in the years after the failed coup against Erdogan that Pakistani pilots in Turkish aircraft were violating Greek airspace, a major catalyst for why Greece rapidly advanced defense and security ties with India.

"If I said what I really think, I'd harm Ferrari. We're risking the destruction of a myth, I'm very sorry about that. I hope they at least remove the Prancing Horse from that car"

If it's cool for the Turks to convert the Church of Hagia Sophia into a mosque then why is it wrong for Israelis to convert the Al Aqsa mosque into the Third Temple?

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

Turkey’s most recent provocation and its military presence in Cyprus threatens one of our closest allies and the stability of the Eastern Mediterranean.

For too long, Turkey has violated Cyprus’ sovereignty and territorial integrity with impunity. That must no longer be the case. The United States must stand with the people of Cyprus and make clear we will not tolerate Turkey’s aggression against our ally by demanding the removal of all Turkish F16s from Cyprus.

Epstein’s emails confirm what we already know. Greece was sacrificed to bail out German and French banks.

As many of you know I have been traveling in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. I plan to write an article on what I saw in general, but one thing has come through loud and clear, over and over and over. That is this:

The Ottoman Empire ravaged these nations and peoples in every possible respect: physically, economically, culturally, socially, you name it. Entire cities were razed to the ground with their inhabitants obliterated. The Ottomans bragged about enslaving Eastern European women, dragging them back to Turkey and forcing them to submit to Islam. I have heard at least ten times on this trip about how that is why there are blue-eyed Turks.

The Ottoman Empire only fell in 1922. That means that for many older Eastern Europeans this savagery was in the living memory of their grandparents.

We don’t learn about this history in the West, but it is an omnipresent specter for these nations I have visited.

So when leftist Americans or Western Europeans complain about Eastern Europe’s unwillingness to take in Muslim migrants, they must realize what Eastern Europe has endured historically and why they believe they have excellent reasons for keeping those barriers up.

This is unacceptable in 2025 when we think we are civilized. This cannot be condoned or even excused. There is no law of man that above the dignity of humanity. This is modern slavery masked as religious law.

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

It’s a cold rainy day today.
I have memories of warm loving days which make my heart ache for those days.

When a dream is so real and intense you wake up from emotional overload.
