Sultan Muhammad was exiled, and on his way out of Granada, he stopped at a mountain pass to look back at Granada and began to cry. His mother was unimpressed with his sudden remorse and scolded him, “Do not cry like a woman for that which you could not defend as a man.” 2-1-1492

Khan Sir’s Epic Downfall

This try-hard, Faisal Khan, spent years bashing Islam, Pakistan, and fellow Muslims just to win over Indians. In the end, he still ended up in jail.

Jinnah was right all along Indian Muslims can keep proving their loyalty, yet they’ll still be reminded of their place.

🚨🇵🇰🇮🇷 Pakistan's Interior Minister arrives in Tehran carrying a special message addressed directly to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei:

"I am here to deliver a special message from the Field Marshal and the Prime Minister of Pakistan regarding the current situation.

I think the message is very important. I hope everything comes to an end."

Skip the diplomats. Skip the negotiating teams.

Asim Munir and PM Sharif are now communicating directly with the one man in Iran whose signature actually matters.

The pragmatists negotiated the framework. The IRGC has its objections.

But the Supreme Leader decides, and Pakistan just put a letter in his hands on the exact weekend Trump circled for the deal.

Alongside the letter: a $10 billion Iran-Pakistan trade agreement, Pakistan showing Tehran what the post-war economy looks like if they sign.

Every previous breakthrough in this war ran through Islamabad.

If the war ends this weekend, it will be because of what's written in that letter.

“I took my rocket launcher and ordered the soldiers to bombard a building in Gaza where a Palestinian family lived…It was very fun to hear them scream while they burned alive.”

This is Zionism, and it’s mainstream in Israel.

🇺🇸🇮🇳 The H-1B program is facing allegations that fake degrees have been slipping through the system for years.

A former official said that up to 90% of H-1B applications from India contained fraudulent documents or involved unqualified applicants.

More than 70% of H-1B visas issued since 2015 have gone to Indian nationals.

Theo Von looked genuinely shaken hearing this on his podcast.

A journalist. Shot in the face by Israeli forces. Clearly marked as press.

Then Israeli soldiers showed up to her funeral and beat the pallbearers with batons and stun grenades.

Multiple human rights organizations concluded she was likely targeted.

Her name was Shireen Abu Akleh.

This was 2022, and most people still don't know the full story.

Love it. My fond regards to the Admiral. He couldn't be more right on it. Our peoples are already half-literate in war-related jargon. To overdose them with slang that essentially is regurgitation is both intellectually imbecile and misleading.

In 80s; GM Khar, than based in London, planned a coup against Zia.
The group assigned was having a mtg in Samanabad Lhr when men in civ clothes and police raided. A few were killed, few arrested.
Next morning newspapers reported a "failed decoity".

You said that Pakistan is a country that is fully under the control of China.

I don't think so. Pakistan is a large country...

Rumors are swirling that Ithe Indian Army Chief, General Upendra Dwivedi refused to salute CDS General N.S. Raja Subramani, saying he still considers him as his junior. The new CDS had served under the current COAS but was superseded due to his junior's closeness to NSA Ajit Doval and BJP-RSS circles!

Gen Dwivedi who was commissioned a year before Gen Subramani, and now gets a taste of Supersession!

Gen Subramani was his Vice Chief for nearly a year but is now the CDS and senior to him. So he becomes the First Superseded COAS.

Reportedly, General Dwivedi has even warned to Resign from the Indian Army, after a Heated Argument with CDS General Raja Subramani on this Matter.

This Incident is enough to Expose the Internal Rift and Hierarchy issues the Indian Armed Forces.

It's a while since I was on here. But always got time to discuss #Chengdu J-10CEs! I'm being reliably informed by Indonesian #TNIAU sources that the number of J-10CEs on order has increased from 12 to 24, and not surprisingly the very long range PL-15E is being acquired too.

India moved her armies on Pakistani border in 1951 without any provocation and Nehru rejected Liaqet Ali Khan’s peace proposal.

This is direct result on emphasis of the Indian society to be “street smart”.

Cutting corners, gaming the system to make petty gains.

This all stands against the values of honesty, uprightness or moral and ethics.

Peak Indian Izzat at Costco
Watch this full tutorial on how to scam the free sample lady.

They pretend to carefully inspect the ingredients, load up as many as they can, then strut off like they just pulled off a heist.

This is Izzat culture in action…doesn’t matter how low or shady it is, as long as you’re getting one over on someone else.

I was in Phuket at a resort having the dinner buffet at the beach side restaurant some years back when a big family of tourists came in

They sat down with menus and asked for the free meal for their toddler while they were deciding

The father walked around the buffet spread and I literally saw him use his hands to taste the various Thai curries they had laid out. Literally just stuck his fingers in there and put them in his mouth!!!!

I was so horrified that I pointed it out to a waitress but the poor staff at the buffet area had already noticed and they were panicking trying to stop him and take care of the contaminated dishes

All the staff were whispering to themselves in Thai and staring. Meanwhile they were feeding their toddler the free kid meal and the kid even broke a glass which was really the icing on the cake

They then all left without ordering anything or paying for the buffet after some frantic discussions took place with the poor manager
