🚨 CHRISTIANS MASSACRED IN THE CONGO

Islamic militants just raided a Christian village in Ituri. Hundreds are dead. Thousands more injured.

It is the latest attack in a campaign by the ADF to annihilate the Christian population of the Congo.

And once again, the West is silent.

I’ve never read The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie. I’m changing that now.

The book was published in 1988 and sparked one of the biggest cultural and religious conflicts in modern times.

Freedom of speech apparently applies - until it comes to Islam and the Qur’an.

When the book came out, it triggered massive anger and protests around the world. Many Muslims saw it as blasphemous. There were demonstrations globally, the book was banned in several countries, and copies were publicly burned (apparently it’s acceptable to burn other people’s books).

In 1989, Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa - a religious death sentence against Salman Rushdie. He called for Rushdie to be killed, and a bounty was placed on his head.

This meant Rushdie had to live in hiding for years. Under constant police protection. Moving around. Concealing his identity. This wasn’t just a debate - it was a real threat to his life.

And it didn’t stop at threats. Translators and publishers were attacked. A Japanese translator was killed. Others were seriously injured.

Even many years later, the threat never fully disappeared. In 2022, Rushdie was stabbed during a lecture in the United States and seriously injured - he lost, among other things, the sight in one eye.

This was not just a “controversial book.”
It became a global confrontation over freedom of speech, religion, culture, and power.

And Rushdie paid the price - years in hiding, and a life under constant threat.

Let’s all read his book! ❤️‍🔥🪽

For 100 years, they have stood watch, for names we will never know.

In 1921, an unknown American soldier was laid to rest at Arlington, chosen to represent every service member lost without identification.

At first, the tomb wasn’t guarded. Visitors came and went freely, sometimes treating it more like a destination than a sacred place.

That changed on March 24, 1926.

Concerned by the lack of respect, Army leadership ordered a permanent military guard.

And for a century since, the soldiers of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment—The Old Guard—have carried that responsibility.

Through rain and snow. Day and night. 365 days a year.

Under strict conditions. They are precise, intentional, and unwavering.

Because this isn’t just a tomb.

It’s a promise: that those who gave everything, even without a name, will never be forgotten.

Happy Birthday to the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment. Thank you for your dedication for the last 100 years.

Dear Iranian people,

Please don't take this BS from a Pakistani seriously. Sadly, Pakistanis are notoriously the most confused nation on the face of this earth. They are extremely confused about their own culture, heritage, and identity.

The worst amongst them are the politically deluded and intellectually lazy Pakistanis that @Bushra1Shaikh represents.

Although we have Indian ancestry, these deluded Pakistanis are merely wannabe Arabs, and occasionally they frantically twerk for the Turkish and Iranian regimes in a desperate bid to be part of the "ummah," as Bushra has been doing for the past few days. Every word coming out of her mouth is plain BS and has no credibility whatsoever.

As a Pakistani, I can tell you that people like batsh*t crazy Bushra are a total and constant source of embarrassment to us decent Pakistanis who believe in human rights and human dignity.

Sad news. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa was an underrated actor. Often times he was Hollywood’s go-to player for Japanese and Asian parts.

He brought to life so many great roles even if he wasn’t a household name. I enjoyed his work very much. RIP.

From the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli…” For this Travel Tuesday, we are examining the first sentence of the Marines’ Hymn as we approach the 250th anniversary.

The Halls of Montezuma refers to the Battle of Chapultepec in September of 1847, during the Mexican-American War. U.S. Marines fought alongside Army forces as they stormed the fortress of Chapultepec, a castle situated high on a hill overlooking Mexico City.

Marines were among the first to breach the fortress walls, helping secure victory and opening the way to the Mexican capital.

The First Barbary War (1801–1805) is remembered for the shores of Tripoli, where Marines landed at Derna (modern-day Libya), marking the Corps’ first battle on foreign soil.

No one knows for sure who wrote the hymn, though it’s rumored to have been written by a Marine who was part of the Battle of Chapultepec. The hymn’s melody comes from an 1867 French comic opera by Jacques Offenbach. The hymn was officially adopted in 1929. The final line, “in the air, on land, and sea,” was added in 1942 to reflect the expanding reach of the Corps.

As a daughter of a Marine, I learned the hymn very early on!

Today we remember the Battle of Ball’s Bluff in Virginia, a devastating early clash of the American Civil War in 1861. Union forces under Col. Edward Baker found themselves perched precariously on a high bluff overlooking the Potomac River when Confederate troops struck. With their backs to a cliff and their escape boats swamped, many men plunged into the river, and fewer than half made it out alive.

Colonel Baker, a U.S. Senator and close friend of President Abraham Lincoln, didn’t survive the battle. In the aftermath, the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War was established by Congress to oversee how the war was being waged.

Today the battlefield is nestled among the suburbs of Northern Virginia, tucked away in Leesburg. It is easy to miss it but worth visiting!
