The recent India-Pakistan head-to-head may look one-sided but saying Pakistan have not competed is unfair. Melbourne, New York and the Asia Cup final were thrillers. And this is against an India side that has lost just 1 of their last 27 ICC matches.
Shout out to Nasser Hussain, Michael Atherton and Mark Butcher for speaking up about the inequality of the Indian cricket regime and their role in world cricket on their respective platforms.
We’re a smaller podcast, these guys have higher stakes. I appreciate the effort.
As a Bangaleshi citizen, I thank Pakistani government for standing with us in our fight against evil, Thank you Mohsin Naqvi and Asim Munir, India and Jay shah can no longer bully Bangladesh with Pakistan by our side.

Elon, you may recall we have met before.
I am Jemima Goldsmith (Khan), former wife of Imran Khan — Pakistan’s democratically elected Prime Minister, removed in 2022 and now held 22 months in brutal solitary confinement as a political prisoner.
Our two sons have not seen him in all that time, have not spoken to him in months, and are not even allowed to send him letters. His name is banned from every Pakistani TV and radio station. X was therefore our only independent platform to highlight this injustice. However acc to Grok- your own AI- “Every time you post anything about Imran’s jail conditions, solitary confinement or your son’s access to their father, the algorithm limits the post…. The Pakistani authorities have made criticism from Imran Khan’s immediate circle one of their top online enforcement priorities, and X is quietly complying just enough to keep the platform alive in the country.”
You have repeatedly pledged that X will protect free speech and will not silence lawful political expression.
Yet Grok has examined my X analytics (3.56 million followers) and concluded my account is subjected to what Grok calls “secret throttling” (the algorithm deliberately hides my posts from almost everyone even though the account is not suspended).
The damning evidence Grok found is as follows :
• In 2023–early 2024, I averaged 400–900 million impressions per month (normal reach for my follower count).
• But in the entire 2025, impressions dropped to only 28.6 million total — a 97% crash to <3% of expected reach.
• The turning point was May 2025: one post spiked to 4 million impressions the day Pakistan’s X ban ended (proving my audience was still engaged), thereafter impressions were instantly crushed to near zero and stayed there. These numbers & assessments are all verbatim from Grok.
I am asking you to honour the free-speech promises you have made for this platform.
Please remove the “secret throttling” Grok identified on @Jemima_Khan
Thank you.
Every year, the United States Government gives $40 billion to insurance companies.
And that’s just the start.
The Official Story:
When you buy health insurance on the Obamacare marketplace, the government helps in two ways:
1. They lower your monthly payment (premium subsidy)
2. They’re supposed to lower what you pay at the doctor (cost-sharing reduction)
That $40 billion is for #2, to make your deductibles and co-pays smaller.
The Real Dutch Story:
The insurance companies get that $40 billion automatically.
Every year.
No matter what.
Congress doesn’t vote on it.
Nobody can stop it.
It just flows.
Here’s the scam:
Insurance companies take that money, but your deductible is still $8,000.
Your co-pays still suck.
You still can’t afford to actually USE your insurance.
But Wait, There’s More Money Leaving Your Pocket:
While insurance companies are collecting their $40 billion, the big “nonprofit” hospitals are getting even MORE:
$125+ billion in tax breaks every year.
They don’t pay property taxes, income taxes, or sales taxes
$28 billion in direct Medicare overpayments.
They get paid 60-80% more than independent doctors for the exact same service
Billions more in state and local subsidies: Free land, tax-exempt bonds, utility discounts
Here’s What “Nonprofit” Really Means:
These hospitals call themselves “nonprofit” but:
Their CEOs make $6 milly a year
They spend billions on marketing and lobbying, especially professional sports.
They buy up doctor practices to remove competition
They sue poor patients who can’t pay their inflated bills and take their homes.
They have billions in investment portfolios
The only difference between them and regular corporations?
They don’t pay taxes.
You do, to cover what they don’t pay.
In Plain English:
Your taxes give $40 billion to insurance companies AND $150+ billion to “nonprofit” hospital systems.
Then you ALSO pay $2,000 a month for insurance that doesn’t cover anything until you’ve spent $8,000 out of your own pocket.
Then when you finally DO go to the hospital, they charge you $200 for a Band-Aid and $800 for an IV bag that costs $1.
So you’re paying THREE times:
1. Through taxes (subsidizing insurers and hospitals)
2. Through premiums (to insurance companies)
3. Through bills (to hospitals with massive markups)
Who Wins?
Lawmakers.
Insurance company CEOs and shareholders
Hospital system executives
Who Loses?
You.
Your family.
Every American who actually needs healthcare.
The Dutch Line:
We’re sending nearly $200 billion a year in subsidies to insurance companies and “nonprofit” hospitals, while they charge us a fortune on top of that and we still can’t afford basic medical care.
پاکستان ہمیشہ اپنے افغان بھائیوں کے ساتھ کھڑا رہا افغانوں کی مشکلات کو اپنی مشکل سمجھا ۔ اپنی سرحدیں اپنے بھائیوں کے لیے کھول دیں ۔ چالیس لاکھ مہاجرین کو اپنی سر زمین پر بسایا ۔ میں ذاتی طور پر اپنے وسائل کے مطابق 350 افغان گھرانوں کی دیکھ بھال کرتا ہوں لیکن انتہای افسوس سے کہنا پڑتا ہے کہ گزشتہ دنوں افغانستان نے ان تمام احسانات کو فراموش کرتے ہوئے سرحدوں پر کھلی جارحیت کی جسکا ہماری افواج نے بھرپور جواب دیا۔
Astaghfirullah for when I've felt superior to others.
Astaghfirullah for when I struggle to forgive someone for the wrongs they've done to me.
Astaghfirullah for the sins I've committed, both those I remember and those I've forgotten to seek repentance for.
