Before Elon Musk accuses India of blocking Starlink, he owes Indians answers about its equipment found in various illegal activities, its network controls, and cooperation with authorities.

Nothing wrong with wanting a Christian education for your children, my friend. The question is who pays for that choice.
Taxes are what we pay to live in a society. People without children pay school taxes too, because an educated community benefits everyone. They don’t ask for a refund because they don’t use the schools.
I’m Hindu, and I send my kids to public schools. Texas has passed a law requiring Ten Commandments displays and Bible passages for kids reading. I’m okay with my children learning about Christianity, I don’t see any problem with it.
But you want Christian education from specific schools and expect public money to cover the tuition. Many of us pay for extra classes and after-school programs ourselves. You have every right to choose a religious school for your children. That doesn’t make the bill everyone else’s responsibility.
🇺🇸 SUPPORT CARL | JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED 🇺🇸
Iraq combat veteran Carl Wheless served his country with honor and sacrifice, only to be forced into medical retirement just two months short of completing 20 years of military service.
In 2020, a military board ruled in favor of his full retirement benefits. In 2026, a federal judge found the Army’s decision to override that ruling arbitrary. Yet Carl continues to fight for the benefits and justice he has sought for more than a decade.
12 YEARS AND COUNTING.
How much longer should a combat veteran have to fight the very government he served to receive the benefits he earned?
Carl's story deserves national attention, public accountability, and answers. No veteran should have to spend years battling bureaucracy after sacrificing so much in service to our country.
Calling on news organizations, journalists, veteran advocates, and influential podcasters to investigate Carl's case and help bring his story into spotlight.

Although I've been following @jamestalarico for a few months, I only heard about @GinaHinojosaTX in the last couple of days of the election. As a heavy X user, I'm surprised I didn't hear about this governor candidate earlier. Is X intentionally masking her reach? @grok, verify this.
A federal judge said the Army's reasoning was so empty it broke the law. The Army responded by doing it again.
For anyone who doesn't know my story: in 2014, the United States Army forced me into medical retirement against my will, two months short of twenty years.
I've spent twelve years fighting to get it back.
I went to the Army Board for Correction of Military Records. In April 2020, a unanimous 3-member board ruled in my favor: retroactive reinstatement, a 20-year length-of-service retirement with Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay, and a corrected DD Form 214.
The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Review Boards then overruled them.
I sued in the Court of Federal Claims.
In March 2026, Judge Matthew Solomson ruled that the official's decision was arbitrary and capricious, with a 6/30/2026 deadline to comply. They ignored it.
I filed a DoD Hotline complaint. DoD sent it to the Army to investigate itself. The Army said no wrongdoing. DoD closed the case. Today I received the final IG letter, signed by Janelle Allen, Chief of the Hotline Branch, dated 10/29/2026.
My attorney, Michael Silverman, just filed a new complaint in the Court of Federal Claims against the current DASA, Michael Lacey, arguing that the Army's defiance is itself arbitrary and capricious and asking the judge to resolve it.
The filing shows ARBA shipped my case to a brand-new board on 4/13/2026, over a month before Lacey signed his denial.
Then two fresh medical advisory opinions appeared on 6/1/2026, both claiming to have reviewed over 3,000 pages of my medical records in a single weekend.
Dr. Xie, the general medical advisor, quoted Judge Solomson's own ruling and then wrote that the court "misunderstands the basic requirements of military service."
Dr. Afandor, the behavioral health advisor, reviewed VA records running to 7/1/2025, nearly a decade after my discharge, which Judge Solomson had already ruled off-limits.
The original board that ruled for me has dissolved, so no one is left to "reconsider" anything.
I'm that combat vet.
Retired Army Staff Sergeant.
Tank gunner, tank commander, platoon sergeant, and anti-terrorism officer. Secure site surveys under fire against Al-Qaeda in Ramadi. 26 months downrange.
Every agency I approach sends it back to the Army, which gives the same answer, and everybody walks off.
If this matters to you, here's where you can help.

Update on Wheless v. United States.
As I continue to fight this battle and we seek other legal action against the Army, here is where things stand.
I filed a complaint with the DoD Hotline.
They referred it back to the Army.
The Army investigated and told DoD they did nothing wrong.
Instead of pushing back or asking further questions, DoD took the Army's word for it and closed the investigation.
This is how the Department of Defense and the Department of the Army treat a soldier and a Marine who served faithfully for just under twenty years, served twenty-six months in a combat zone, went on hundreds of combat missions, and engaged in direct and indirect combat on hundreds of occasions.
Even with a federal court order, they still refuse to do the right thing.
My representative, @chiproytx, is starting to push back hard, but nothing is happening.
I still need my followers' support as we continue this battle.

@carlwheless Congrats, brother. You earned this one.
When @bofrench went after the Indian community, you didn’t stay quiet—you put his own damn words right in front of voters. You pushed back hard on @SaraGonzalesTX, @KenPaxtonTX, and @Michellebbz, and you told people straight why you were backing @jamestalarico. You took on the flood of racists when they came after you personally, even threatened you, and you still held your ground. You handled it like the soldier you are.
For a lot of us Indian Americans, this hit different. We watched people try to score points by turning our families and neighbors into targets. You saw it and stood with us anyway. That mattered.
To the crew from @IAACouncil Siddarth, Rajeev, Vasanth, and everyone else who kept showing up, you all had each other’s backs and actually moved the needle. Enjoy this win. You earned it.
Proud to call you my friends.

@carlwheless They strike with blind and fearful rage,
Yet learn no truth from history's page;
For wisdom flees the hollow mind,
Where wit is brief and malice blind.
