‼️ Israel released footage of its invading forces demolishing... villages in southern Lebanon, as part of it objective, to expand the 8 km “buffer zone.” Netanyahu already admitted the plan: clear out & destroy Lebanese civilian towns.

Israel is striking multiple towns in Lebanon, just hours... after the Mechanism meeting, the first to include civilian representatives. The timing is not incidental. It reflects a clear Israeli message: no matter what concessions Beirut makes, the strikes will continue. Each time Lebanon accommodates an Israeli or American demand, the bar is raised further. Israel is not looking for de-escalation; it is pursuing a broader objective, one that extends deep into Lebanon’s political and strategic landscape. With each passing day, the reality becomes harder to ignore. Only the Resistance has the capacity to confront Israel, despite the heavy sacrifices that path demands. In contrast, a strategy based on concessions and gradual retreat is proving far more costly for Lebanon, politically, militarily, and in terms of deterrence.show more

I have been reporting that local cadres are systematically... filling voter registration cards using the names of individuals who never appeared to register, and, in some cases, people who do not even exist. According to multiple reports, officials have been instructed to register 1,500 voters per polling station regardless of whether eligible voters actually show up. The plan is then to cast ballots in those names on the eve of the election or on election day itself. The objective is clear: to manufacture the appearance of a massive voter turnout and counter opposition claims that large numbers of citizens have been unable to register because of the ongoing conflicts in Amhara and Oromia. Over the past weeks, I have posted evidence showing cadres filling out registration cards inside their offices. Here is further evidence: stacks of completed registration cards prepared in advance.show more

BREAKING:⚠️ MAJOR U.S. SPECIAL FORCES OPERATION NOW UNDERWAY IN... SOMALIA Confirmed reports indicate that American special forces have launched a major ground assault against Islamic State – Somalia Province (ISSP) in the Baalade Valley of Puntland. What we know so far: • Intense fighting across the Cal Miskaad mountain range • Approx. 100 U.S. special operators deployed deep into Puntland • Direct strikes on ISSP mountain strongholds • Heavy engagement reported between U.S. forces and ISIS-Somalia fighters This is not a drone strike or advisory role. This is direct U.S. ground combat deep inside one of ISIS’s most entrenched African hideouts. The operational objective appears clear: Break ISSP’s foothold in Puntland and dismantle their mountain sanctuaries. A development to watch closely — because if the U.S. is committing this level of force, something significant is unfolding in the Horn of Africa. Defense Intelligenceshow more

🚨 Omar Berrada responds to Michael Carrick’s call for... more Manchester United signings. 🎙️ Interviewer: “Omar, Michael Carrick has made it clear that he still wants to strengthen one or two areas before the window closes. Should supporters expect Manchester United to make more moves?” 🗣️ Omar Berrada: “Yes, we understand exactly where Michael is coming from. We know the squad has to keep improving. We don't want to stand still simply because we've already made some good additions. But our approach has to remain disciplined. We're assessing the options available to us and looking for players who genuinely improve the team, not players we bring in just to increase the numbers. Manchester United is a club that has to compete for trophies, so the standard has to be very high. If we find the right player, in the right position, who fits the football we're building, we'll make the move. The objective isn't to make more signings. It's to make the right signings.”show more

Enemies in Keralam. Best friends in all other states.... The BJP/NDA has always said Congress and CPM are not two, but one. Randalla Onnanu. In the Keralam Assembly, they accuse each other of having a "secret deal" with the BJP. Yet in rest of the country, they sit comfortably together in the same INDI Alliance. How long do the Congress and CPI (M) think they can insult the intelligence of Malayalees with their fake rivalry? Their objective is not delivering development and welfare for all, but preserving the political status quo that has benefited them for decades in Keralam. Malayalees can now see through this hypocrisy. The historic performance of the BJP/NDA in the Assembly elections marked the beginning of a new political chapter. As I have said before, the next elections in Keralam will be a clear fight between two alliances: the BJP/NDA vs Congress/CPM’s INDI Alliance. #VikasitaKeralam #IthanuMattam #PoliticsOfPerformanceshow more

❗️❗️🇺🇦 #BREAKING Volodymyr Zelenskyy: 📌 “Ukraine has clear ‘red... lines’ — first and foremost, these concern its territories and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Under no circumstances will Ukraine legally recognize the occupation of its lands.” ➡️ “Any potential decisions on sensitive issues will be made only after consultations with society — through public discussion, a referendum, or legislative changes.” ➡️ “Security guarantees remain the key issue — without them, any compromise is impossible.” ➡️ “Under the current conditions of ongoing attacks and war, it is impossible to hold elections or referendums. Moscow will raise the issue of voting by Ukrainians currently in Russia in order to cast doubt on the legitimacy of elections in Ukraine.” 📌 “Russia has already set itself the task of doing everything possible to ensure that Ukrainians located on Russian territory, as well as in temporarily occupied territories, are able to vote. Why are they doing this? The objective is to ensure that the argument is raised that a large number of people live there and have voting rights, so that Russia can later claim it does not recognize these elections or any referendum.” See the latest updates with us: NSTRIKEshow more

This issue transcends politics. Imran Khan’s health cannot be... reduced to a single medical report, an isolated reading, or competing claims from different sides. A credible assessment requires his complete medical history, established baseline, medications, ongoing readings, and independent specialist evaluation. It is time to move beyond speculation, secrecy, excuses, and internal disagreements. Denying him immediate, unrestricted, and independent access to his personal physicians and family while serious concerns persist is indefensible. He must be examined thoroughly by doctors he knows and trusts. If those doctors determine that further investigation or treatment is necessary, he should be transferred without delay to a fully equipped, internationally accredited hospital for comprehensive multidisciplinary care. His health must neither be politicized nor turned into a battleground among his own supporters. The objective should remain absolutely clear: unrestricted access, independent medical assessment, transparency, and proper medical care. Nothing should distract from these priorities. The international community cannot continue to look away as Pakistan’s political and institutional crisis deepens. When fundamental rights, human dignity, and potentially a human life are at stake, silence is not neutrality, it is a failure to act. #EnoughIsEnoughFreeKhan #قوم_کا_خیرخواہ_قید_میں_ہےshow more

With regard to the alleged drunken brawl and uncouth... behaviour of an Army Officer and his fiancée in Bhubaneswar, Gen (Retd) V K Singh, former COAS and ex-Union Minister, in his post used highly inappropriate language castigating Police in general and Odisha Police in particular. When I called him out, several retired Army Officers responded with uncivilized and irrelevant comments. Later, I wrote to Defence Minister suggesting to court-martial and punish the Army Officer involved and Lt. Gen. PS Shekhawat for conduct unbecoming of soldiers and committing grave offences under sections 21(c), 45, 48 and other relevant provisions of the Army Act, 1950. It is eliciting a lot uncouth and loutish online behaviour which only the scum of the society, not the “disciplined” Army Officers indulge in. They are calling the Indian Police all sorts of names. They are also personally attacking me by sharing ad nauseum some trash of old pieces of yellow journalism with false and motivated allegations against me which I had countered by issuing a signed rejoinder way back in 2018, that is two years before I retired on superannuation in 2020. As my conscience is crystal clear, I care a foot for all that yellow journalism trash. The old adage, “when the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser” is so apt for the conduct of these philistines. Even in my first post I had made it amply clear that my response is not to make it Army vs Police but to put facts of the case which none was discussing. It was about seeking truth as there are innocent lives at stake. Everyone including the 5 police officers suspended even before conducting enquiry, deserves justice in a nation whose motto is "satyamev jayate". I respect our Army not necessarily because it is the best, but because it is the last line of defence against our external enemies. While the Army Officers are generally disciplined and well-behaved when they are in their units, a few of them become unruly when freed on leave or otherwise and sometimes they even try to overawe and boss over the local police officials. Police officers generally ignore it by being indulgent to them. But things get stormy when their behaviour become outrightly criminal. But why do they behave like that? Pakistan Army has been ruling Pakistan for much of its existence. Therefore, our Army Officers seem to suffer from a syndrome that is best captured by the Onida TV tagline, “neighbour's envy, owner's pride”, leading to a combination of false sense of entitlement, deprivation and victimhood. As a result, they nurture utter contempt for civil authority, and a few of them indulge in boorishness. While propagandizing themselves as holier-than-thou, they invent all sorts of false victimhood stories to rally against the civil authority. Their false propaganda feeds to👇this kind of caricaturing of all except Army. Since they have been calling the Indian Police all sorts of names, I too can retort back with facts about Army and loss of Indian territory to China, Kargil, etc. But once again, my objective is not to show our Army in poor light or to make it Army Vs Police. Therefore, in spite of extreme provocation I won't venture into those thorny trails. I also, exhort all Army Officers, both serving and retired, to reflect on their performance rather than indulging in bashing of civil authority especially the Police, and work to protect every inch of our territory, and save Hindus who have been facing genocidal attacks in Jammu & Kashmir, in Manipur and elsewhere. Finally, I also appeal to them that we must have mutual respect individually and for our organisations as we are all one with different functions and our work should always complement and promote our national interest. If there are any aberrations let us resolve them amicably by avoiding public spats, acrimony and rancour.show more

🚨PREPARE FOR A -20% MARKET DROP: Everyone thinks the... Iran conflict is an oil story. It’s not. Let me explain what this is really about. The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for 8 days. Markets are focused on crude prices. That’s the wrong variable. The real cascade nobody’s mapping: 92% of the world’s sulfur comes from refining oil and gas. Close Hormuz, you don’t just lose 20 million barrels of crude per day. You lose the feedstock for sulfuric acid m, the single most produced chemical on Earth. Sulfuric acid is how we extract copper. How we extract cobalt. Without it, you can’t make transformers, EV batteries, or the substrates inside every data center on the planet. One chemical. One feedstock. One 21-nautical-mile chokepoint. It gets worse. Qatar ships 30% of Taiwan’s LNG through Hormuz. Taiwan has 11 days of reserves. $TSMC, the company making 90% of the world’s advanced chips, draws 8.9% of Taiwan’s entire electricity grid. No gas → no power → no chips. Then food. 33% of global nitrogen fertilizer feedstock moves through that same strait. Half of all humans alive exist because of synthetic nitrogen. Sulfur. Semiconductors. Food. Three supply chains. One chokepoint. Zero domestic alternatives at scale. The economic math from here: Oil holds $80-100+ per barrel if closure persists beyond weeks. Inflation climbs 0.5-1% above baseline. Fed delays rate cuts, 1-2 reductions instead of 3. GDP growth slows to 1.5-2%. Stagflation risk over the next 3-6 months is real. S&P/Nasdaq: 5-10% correction base case. Tech/growth down 10-15% on higher yields and risk-off. Energy and defensives up 5-10%. Market is currently pricing a 4-week conflict duration. If this extends? 15-20% drawdown. What I’m watching: The US objective isn’t just degrading Iran’s military. It’s economic strangulation, destroy the refinery infrastructure, induce blackouts, impair logistics, accelerate regime instability without a full ground invasion. The short-term pain is intentional and accepted. The strategic calculus: weaken Iran’s ability to project power, sever proxy support, and neutralize a nuclear threat permanently. China feels this differently. Iran was supplying 1M+ barrels daily of discounted sanctioned crude. That’s gone. Now Beijing is forced into costlier alternatives while already under U.S. economic pressure. This isn’t about oil. Oil is just the vector. The real targets are the supply chains that run through it. How I’m positioning into this: If this escalates and markets reprice, here’s my expected drawdown map on BETA stocks: > $ASTS, -15 to -35% (beta amplification, rate sensitivity in space telecom) > $IREN, -20 to -30% (rising energy costs crushing margins) > $CIFR, 15-20% (rising energy costs crushing margins) > $AMPX, -15 to -30% (cobalt + sulfur supply chain disruption hits batteries hard) > $RKLB, -10% to 25% (higher yields compressing aerospace valuations) > $ONDS, -10% to 25% (industrial wireless demand slowdown in tight credit) > $NBIS, -5% to 20% (AI cloud risk-off but lower beta buffers the downside) > $KRKNF, -5% to 15% (low beta, robotics holds relatively well) > $OSS, -5% to 15% (hardware stability, limited tech sector contagion) I still hold cash. That cash exists for exactly this scenario. My plan: I don’t hold enough cash as of now, which is why my strategy will be to buy the hardest-hit names on the way down, DCA monthly through the pressure, and let the timeline work. If this plays out as I expect, escalation through summer, then resolution, the relief rally sets up Oct/Nov. That’s 7-8 months of accumulation before the market re-rates. The biggest mistakes in geopolitical dislocations are panic selling and waiting for the all-clear. By the time the all-clear comes, the move is already over.

Hold up, here is the prompt: works with almost... any model. enjoy :) Role & Objective: Act as an Elite UI/UX Front-End Engineer specializing in Apple-tier micro-interactions and advanced CSS. Your task is to program a perfectly centered navigation bar in a strictly SINGLE HTML file containing all HTML, vanilla CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. No external libraries or frameworks (No Tailwind, React, etc.). Design Concept - "True Liquid Glass": CRITICAL INSTRUCTION: Do NOT generate standard, flat "glassmorphism" or basic frosted glass. I require a physically accurate "Liquid Glass" aesthetic. It must look like wet, poured clear resin, combining the high-gloss specular highlights of classic macOS Aqua with the volumetric spatial depth of modern Apple VisionOS. 1. The Liquid Glass Material & Lighting (CSS): - Deep Refraction: Use `backdrop-filter` with extreme blur (e.g., 50px) and over-saturation (200%). - Specular Highlight: Create a curved, semi-transparent white gradient on the top half using a pseudo-element (`::before`) to simulate a hard light reflection on a wet, rounded 3D surface. - Caustics & Volume: Use multi-layered inner and outer `box-shadow` properties to simulate light refracting at the bottom edge and casting a realistic ambient drop shadow. - Interactive Glare: Implement a soft radial-gradient spotlight inside the glass that dynamically tracks the user's mouse cursor (X/Y coordinates) using JavaScript and CSS variables (`mix-blend-mode: overlay`). 2. Navigation Layout & Elements: - Center the pill-shaped navigation bar perfectly in the middle of the viewport. - Include 3 main navigation items with minimalist, inline SVG stroke icons and text labels: "Home", "Call", and "List". - Add a subtle vertical divider line after the main buttons. - Next to the divider, add a Dark/Light Mode toggle button containing inline SVG Sun and Moon icons. 3. Animations & "Apple Magic": - Sliding Active Pill: Create a solid background "pill" that sits *behind* the active navigation item's text/icon. When a different item is clicked, this pill must dynamically recalculate its width and slide to the new position. - Spring Physics: The sliding transition MUST use an exact Apple-style bouncy spring easing curve (e.g., `transition: all 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.2, 0.64, 1)`). - Tactile Feedback: Buttons and icons must physically press down slightly (`transform: scale(0.92)`) when clicked (`:active`). - Theme Switch: The Sun and Moon icons must smoothly rotate, scale, and cross-fade during the transition. 4. Background Environment (Crucial): - Glass needs light and color to refract! Create a full-viewport, smoothly animated mesh gradient background using 3 large, heavily blurred, floating color blobs. - Implement full Dark/Light mode logic using CSS variables (`:root` and `[data-theme="dark"]`). Toggling the theme must seamlessly transition the background blob colors, glass opacity, shadow intensity, and text colors. Output ONLY the pristine, production-ready code. Prioritize maximum visual fidelity and silky-smooth 60fps animations.show more

Elon Musk just told you exactly how America loses.... Not to a better algorithm. Not to a smarter engineer. To itself. Elon Musk: “When you’re dealing with the government, common sense doesn’t make sense. It’s like arguing with the DMV. It’s impossible.” America split the atom, put men on the moon, and built the internet. It is now losing a civilization-defining race because it cannot get out of its own way. Not because the talent is gone. Not because the capital dried up. Because we built a machine that processes instead of builds. Every decision climbs ten levels. Every level costs a meeting. Every meeting births a committee. Every committee buries the idea in a report. And somewhere in that report, the urgency dies. This is not bureaucracy as inefficiency. This is bureaucracy as a national security threat. China does not debate internally. Beijing does not convene committee reviews. They identify the objective. They resource it. They execute. While America is still scheduling the kickoff call, China is pouring concrete. Look at what Musk built. SpaceX landed an orbital rocket booster in eleven years. NASA has five times the budget and cannot get astronauts home. Tesla scaled a global manufacturing operation while legacy automakers were forming task forces to study the transition. xAI stood up one of the most powerful supercomputers on earth in 122 days. Not years. Not after the third approval cycle. 122 days. The difference is not money. The difference is not genius. The difference is that Musk runs his companies the way civilizations used to run themselves when they still believed impossible things were worth attempting. Flat. Fast. Ruthless about what matters. No ten layers of sign-off. No thirty-person approval chain for a decision one person should make. No process worship dressed up as due diligence. A small group of exceptional people. A clear mission. The authority to execute without asking permission. That model built the moon landing. It built the transcontinental railroad. It built every institution America now holds up as proof of what this country can do. Then we forgot how to run it. We replaced builders with administrators. We replaced decisions with processes. We replaced urgency with compliance theater. And now we are asking that bloated machine to win the most consequential technological race in human history. The AI war is not being fought in the code. It is being fought in the gap between when a builder decides to move and when the institution permits it. That gap is where civilizations end. America does not have a talent problem. America does not have a capital problem. America has a bureaucracy problem. And nobody inside that bureaucracy has a single incentive to fix it. Musk is not fighting China. He is fighting the version of America that forgot how to move. The country that pours the concrete first does not just win the race. It writes the rules everyone else spends the next century living under.show more

Prompt ➕ image 「一人称」視点、「ARPGタイプ」、「西部劇系」ゲームに着想を得た実機風スクリーンショットを生成。NPCは参考画像1を使用。 セリフ： “It’s time to set out, adventurer.” 選択肢： Alright, let’s go. Not right now. Why not? 💡お好みの画風やゲームジャンルに置き換え Step 2：Seedance 2.0で静止画を動画化 テキストでUI操作、セリフ、キャラクターの動きなどを補足。 Prompt Share 120 First-person perspective, immersive ARPG dialogue scene, single continuous shot. A small white rabbit adventurer stands directly in front of the camera. Its fur is soft and finely detailed, and its right eye is a glowing red mechanical eye. It reaches out toward the camera in an inviting gesture, with a calm and confident demeanor. The environment is a vast fantasy world: rolling green grasslands, ruined ancient stone structures, distant mountain ranges, and a lightly smoking volcano. The morning light is soft, the air is clear, and a gentle breeze moves the grass and leaves, creating a strong cinematic atmosphere with depth. The camera is in first-person view, with slight handheld motion and natural breathing sway. Shallow depth of field, cinematic realism. The rabbit looks directly into the camera and says: “Good morning, adventurer. It’s time to set out.” A semi-transparent game UI (modern ARPG style) appears on the right side: Alright, let’s go. Not right now. Why not? The cursor moves smoothly twice, pauses for 0.3 seconds, then selects “Why not?” The rabbit smiles slightly, tilts its head, and responds in a relaxed tone: “Sure.” In the next moment, all UI elements (dialogue box, options, health bar, minimap) fade out smoothly, returning the scene to a clean, UI-free world. The rabbit turns around, its cloak and backpack swaying naturally with physics, and begins walking forward along a stone path. The camera maintains a first-person follow, with subtle handheld motion, synchronized with the character’s walking rhythm. While walking, the rabbit raises its hand and points toward the distant horizon (mountains and a faint city silhouette), saying: “Look, that’s our destination.” A brief pause of about 0.5 seconds. The wind intensifies slightly, causing more noticeable movement in the grass and clothing, enhancing the epic atmosphere. The rabbit continues walking and says: “We have to get there before 8:08 PM.” The camera slowly pushes forward, focusing toward the distance. The far view transitions from slightly blurred to clear, with a subtle lens flare appearing, reinforcing the sense of a journey beginning and a clear objective. No subtitles, no background music. Only natural ambient sounds: wind, footsteps, and distant birds.

The strongest case for the claim that Islam’s core... goal is to dominate the West, subjugate non-Muslims, and eventually convert or control everyone under Islamic rule rests on foundational texts, historical precedent, and modern Islamist strategies. At the heart of this argument are explicit scriptural commands in the Quran calling for Islam to prevail over all other religions. Verses such as 9:33, 48:28, and 61:9 state that God sent His Messenger with the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion. Other passages instruct believers to fight until there is no fitnah and religion is entirely for Allah alone (2:193, 8:39), which classical scholars like Ibn Kathir have long interpreted as a mandate to continue struggle until Islam reigns supreme and non-Muslims either convert, submit as dhimmis, or face defeat in battle. Quran 9:29 commands fighting those who do not believe until they pay the jizyah tax willingly while humbled. The Hadith literature reinforces this vision: the Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said he was ordered to fight people until they declare there is no god but Allah (Sahih Bukhari 1:8:387), with paradise promised to those who die spreading Islam through jihad. History provides a clear pattern of conquest that aligns with these texts. Within a century of Muhammad’s death, Islamic armies had swept out of Arabia to conquer the Byzantine Middle East, North Africa, Persia, and Spain. This rapid expansion relied not solely on peaceful invitation but on military campaigns that offered populations the choice of Islam, tribute, or the sword. The caliphate system itself functioned as an engine of perpetual expansion, dividing the world into dar al-Islam (the house of Islam) and dar al-harb (the house of war), with the ultimate objective of bringing the entire world under Islamic governance. In the modern era, influential Islamist thinkers and movements continue to pursue this vision through both violent and non-violent means. Sayyid Qutb, a leading ideologue of the Muslim Brotherhood, described the contemporary world, including the West, as jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance) that must be overthrown to establish Allah’s sovereignty over man-made laws. The Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 strategic memorandum for North America openly outlined a “civilization-jihadist process” aimed at eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within through settlement, propagation of Islam, and gradual institutional takeover. Migration (hijra) is strategically employed in the same way Muhammad used his move to Medina: large-scale Muslim immigration to Western countries, combined with higher birth rates, creates growing parallel societies that first demand accommodations under sharia, then assert dominance. Organizations like Hizb ut-Tahrir openly advocate for a restored global caliphate and organize in Western nations to recruit and spread this goal, often facing bans in Muslim-majority countries for their radicalism yet operating with relative freedom in places like the United Kingdom until recently. Billions in funding from Saudi Arabia and Qatar have supported the construction of mosques, universities, and cultural centers in the West, frequently promoting Wahhabi or Salafi interpretations that emphasize Islamic supremacy over non-Muslim societies. Demographic trends further this strategy. Muslim populations in many Western European cities already form significant minorities, often 25 to 40 percent in certain districts, with even higher proportions among younger generations. Native European birth rates remain below replacement level while many Muslim communities sustain rates two to three times higher. Projections from sources like Pew Research and national statistics offices suggest several European countries could reach 20 to 30 percent Muslim population by 2050 under continued migration.show more
