A few weeks ago I had a conversation with an American who genuinely believed Europe and Canada would help the United States in its war with Iran. I asked him why he thought that, given that Trump had spent months threatening to annex Canada and seize Greenland. He went quiet. Then he said he had never heard of any of that. Not that he disagreed. Not that he thought it was exaggerated. He had simply never encountered the information. It had never arrived. This is worth pausing on. Because in every other functioning democracy on earth, that information would have been impossible to avoid. Not because Europeans are smarter or more curious. But because of how news works outside the United States. The BBC and The Daily Telegraph hate each other. Le Monde and Le Figaro disagree on everything. Aftenposten and Dagbladet have been arguing since before most of their readers were born. But they all cover the same events. A threat to annex Canada is not a left-wing story or a right-wing story. It is a story. It runs everywhere. You hear it on the radio driving to work. You see it on the newsstand. Your colleague mentions it at lunch. Facts are not a channel you choose. They are the weather. You step outside and they hit you. The only media ecosystems on earth that work differently are not political opposites of each other. They are North Korea and Russia. Not because the content resembles MAGA content. But because the architecture is the same. In all three cases, outside information does not get filtered or reinterpreted. It gets blocked at the door. A completely parallel reality is built inside, maintained by repetition, and sealed from correction. This is why the rest of the world does not just disagree with MAGA voters on foreign policy. It finds them genuinely disorienting to talk to. Not offensive. Disorienting. Like speaking to someone who is absolutely certain the building has two floors when you are standing on the third. Which brings us to today’s masterclass. And this screenshot says everything. A Trump supporter posted: “Absolute masterclass by Trump. He got the Strait open without any help from Europe and without any boots on the ground.” That post was written on the same day a refinery on Lavan Island burned for hours after the ceasefire was announced. On the same day Iran’s own official statement read “this does not signify the termination of the war.” On the same day Iran kept its toll system, its uranium program, its protocol over the strait, and walked away with sanctions relief and reconstruction aid. The post is not stupid. It is not written by a bad person. It is written by someone who received a completely different set of facts than the rest of the world did. And from inside that information environment, with only that data, the conclusion is perfectly logical. That is what makes it so unsettling. It is not ignorance. It is a sealed universe, doing exactly what sealed universes do. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Notice this memorial (smarak) for the Bengalis who died protesting to have Bangla recognised as an official language in Assam's Barak Valley You won't see a single Muslim name among the eleven martyrs listed here Kanglus aren't loyal to Bangla, it's merely an opportunistic association for them (At least 4-5 of the names listed here are SCs btw)

Her name is Durga Shakti Nagpal. She was 27 years old. IAS officer. Posted as SDM in Greater Noida in 2012. She discovered that sand was being illegally mined from the Yamuna and Hindon river banks every single night. Rs 500 crore worth of sand was being looted every year. She formed special squads. Led midnight raids herself. Seized 297 vehicles. Filed over 60 FIRs. The mafia stopped her car on the road and brandished weapons at her. She did not stop. Then the state government stepped in. On July 27 2013 she was suspended. The official reason: demolishing a mosque wall and disturbing communal harmony. The actual reason was widely known.She had hurt the sand mafia. And the sand mafia had friends in government. The entire IAS community revolted. Over 1000 officers filed a petition. Kiran Bedi protested. The National Green Tribunal ordered a pan-India crackdown on sand mining. After 57 days the suspension was revoked. She was transferred. In India the reward for honesty is a transfer. The punishment for corruption is a promotion.

Reality of so called expose of Bhuyan properties LTD: This so-called “Bhuyan Properties Ltd” is controlled by Mohammad Aminul Haque, a Bangladeshi national holding over 75% stake. And this is the kind of “evidence” Congress is parading? First Pakistan links magically appeared, and now a Bangladesh connection pops up. How many more foreign “scripts” are they going to manufacture just to target Himanta Biswa Sarma? This doesn’t look like coincidence anymore, it reeks of desperation, fabrication, and a shameless attempt to drag in dubious foreign links to push a political agenda.

Shocking video emerges from alleged racist attack on elderly Indian Australians in Melbourne’s west The Australia Today understands this footage is linked to an incident in which elderly Indian Australians were allegedly abused and harassed during their morning walk, before the confrontation turned violent. This is disturbing, unacceptable and must be taken seriously.

@GauravGogoiAsm This is exactly why nobody takes your party seriously anymore because you spend more time browsing luxury home brochures for fake propaganda than actually working for the people, gaurav Paaijaan 🤡

Grenade attack outside the BJP’s Chandigarh headquarters. Explosives near RSS HQ in Nagpur. Pakistan-linked spy racket in Uttar Pradesh. All within 2-3 weeks. Anyone still calling this a coincidence is either naive or dishonest. There is a clear attempt to destabilise a stable and rising India that has rattled the radically anti-India forces - both within and outside the country. They are trying to target the political, ideological and infrastructural nerve points of our country. What we are seeing is not always one spectacular strike. It is something more deliberate. Reconnaissance. Dry runs. Logistics. Local assets. Small-scale execution. Psychological signalling. That is how destabilisation attempt often begins. Look at them separately and you miss the point. Look at them together and the pressure pattern becomes unmistakable. The Chandigarh blast should have ended any temptation to dismiss this as paranoia. When a political office linked to the party in power is hit, the message is not merely physical. It is symbolic. It is meant to say: we can reach your political centres too. The Nagpur recovery adds another layer altogether. Explosives appearing in the orbit of the RSS headquarters are not just a technical matter for forensics. They strike at one of the most ideologically important nodes in the country. That carries meaning. Then comes Uttar Pradesh, where Pakistan-linked reconnaissance, encrypted coordination, local facilitation and infrastructure-focused plotting make the picture darker still. At that point, you are no longer dealing with isolated anger. You are dealing with method. And method means network. Network means handlers. Handlers mean money. That is the part too many people lazily ignore every single time. In a terror ecosystem, somebody pays for phones. Somebody pays for movement. Somebody pays for local coordination, safe passage, reconnaissance, small acts of sabotage and the maintenance of sleeper assets. The visible operative is only the last link in a much longer chain. That terror chain often survives through shadow finance. Hawala is not some abstract buzzword from old case files. It remains one of the most useful invisible arteries for covert movement of value, especially when formal banking trails are too risky or too visible. If foreign handlers are talking to local recruits, if QR-coded payments and covert transfers are entering the picture, if reconnaissance is being funded and directed, then the real investigation cannot stop with the explosive or the arrest. It has to reach the cash trail, the cut-outs, the facilitators and the settlement channels that kept the operation alive. That is the heart of the matter. Terror financing is not an accessory to destabilisation. It is its bloodstream. Break the financier, the courier, the hawala networks and the last-mile transfer chain, and you do more damage than arresting one expendable foot soldier. Follow the handlers. Follow the encrypted instructions. Follow the logistics. Follow the payments. Follow the hawala. Because one grenade or multiple explosives or spy rackets are only the symptom. The money is the disease.

Author, journalist and founder of the Shivaji Maharaj Museum of Indian History, Francois Gautier's Facebook account which had 200,000 followers was permanently disabled because he posted a video showing the lynching of Hindus in Bangladesh. His Instagram account was also deleted twice because of his support for Hindus. Gautier asks, "Are there Muslims in Meta censor board?" Check the second screenshot to see the answer. @fgautier26

Captain Pramod Kumar Bajaj served in the Indian Army. Was invalided out after sustaining a disability during military operations. He then cleared the UPSC and joined the Indian Revenue Service in 1990. He rose to Commissioner of Income Tax with an unblemished record. Graded Outstanding. Integrity rated Beyond Doubt. In 2014 he applied for appointment to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. He was ranked number one by the selection committee. The government blocked his appointment. Then fabricated charges against him. Then suspended him. Then forcibly retired him three months before his scheduled superannuation. The Supreme Court struck down the forced retirement in 2023. Called it punitive and arbitrary. The government still did not appoint him. They formed a fourth selection committee. And put on it the same officer who had already apologised to the Supreme Court in contempt proceedings against Bajaj. That committee rejected him again. The Supreme Court in January 2026 called it a sordid tale of targeted departmental vendetta. Fined the government Rs 5 lakh. Ordered a fresh process. The government has still not complied. The Supreme Court issued contempt notice last week. He has been fighting this since 2014. He is still fighting.

Have you ever wondered why??) 1.After the Congress government left, why has Mumbai not seen the rise of another Haji Mastan, Karim Lala, or Dawood Ibrahim? 2.After the BSP government ended, why was Mayawati not weighed with diamonds, crowns, and bundles of cash on her birthday anymore? 3.After Yogi Ji became CM of UP, why have mafia dons like Atiq Ahmed, Azam Khan, and Mukhtar Ansari stopped emerging? 4.After Modi came, why can’t P. Chidambaram grow cabbages worth ₹6 crores in the flowerpots of his bungalow anymore? 5.Why can’t Supriya Sule cultivate crops worth ₹670 crores on her 10-acre farmland these days? 6.After the Congress lost power in Haryana, why has Robert Vadra stopped buying land there? 7.After losing power in UP, why did Akhilesh Yadav stop organizing the Saifai Mahotsav? 8.After selling a painting to Yes Bank owner Rana Kapoor for ₹2.5 crores, why has Priyanka Gandhi never sold another painting again? 9.After A.K. Antony sold his wife’s painting to the government for ₹28 crores, why has his wife never painted again? 10.During the 10-year rule of the UPA (2004–14), Sonia Gandhi used to travel abroad every six months for treatment of her “unknown” illness. She lived in Delhi, yet her flights always departed from airports in Kerala, carrying 4–5 large trunks with her. There was never any question of security checks, since she was the “Super PM” of India at that time. But after the change of power in 2014, how did Sonia’s “mysterious illness” suddenly vanish into thin air?

🚨 HUGE! Supreme Court claims it has authority to decide whether a religious practice is "SUPERSTITIOUS" or not🤯 - Centre hits back bluntly: "Your Lordships are experts in law, NOT IN RELIGION"💥👌🏻 "Even if a practice appears superstitious, it is NOT for the judiciary to declare it so and INTERFERE." The court is hearing petitions on women’s entry into religious places, including Sabarimala. Our take: The Supreme Court must stop playing religious reformer. Judges are not priests, not pandits, and certainly not arbiters of Hindu faith🎯 Leave Sanatan traditions to the believers. Stop this judicial overreach into matters of faith!🙏🏻

Mohammed Akbar worked as a deliveryman for domestic gas cylinders. One day, while delivering a cylinder to a home, he found a woman alone inside; seizing the opportunity, he murdered her and looted the premises. Subsequently, the police arrested him. The court sentenced him to life imprisonment. After he had served 10 years in prison, various Muslim organisations cited his "good conduct" as grounds to petition the Supreme Court, through a prominent lawyer, for his early release. Thanks to the manoeuvring of a well-connected lawyer, Mohammed was released from prison, despite facing a heinous charge like murder, solely on the basis of his supposed "good behaviour" while incarcerated. Upon his release, it took him merely two months to begin roaming the neighbourhood once again, conducting reconnaissance for his next crime. He soon discovered that a woman named Ranjana Patekar was living alone; he approached her and asked for a glass of water. When Ranjana turned to go inside to fetch the water, Mohammed murdered her as well; he snatched the gold chain from her neck and the gold earrings from her ears, and looted all the valuables kept inside her home. The true murderer of Ranjana Patekar is not Mohammed Akbar alone; it is also the judge who ordered his release.

Sad state of Law & order in Uttarakhand. > Dumper kills the son while he was crossing road . > Mother told by police “Humare pass koi jaadu ki chadi nahi hai” , police denied to lodge an FIR against dumper owner. > Mother gets on mission to track her son’s killers and found the details of owner after one year - Dumper Owner is Ankit Chauhan and truck no UK07CB6929 > @uttarakhandcops sitting like ducks over the case for 1.5 years , even after mother produces video and details of dumper owner . > @uttarakhandcops & @pushkardhami sheltering the land mafias, everyone knows who owns the dumpers in Dehradun. Complacency of state and its machinery in sheltering culprit is worrying first Ankita Bhandari and now Khitiz. #uttarakhand @aajtak @IndiaToday @htTweets @ndtv @PMOIndia #dehradun

This pipeline laid by @PMCPune runs straight across the road to the MLA’s residence; and from there, tankers are filled and sent to supply water to Kharadi and nearby areas.

Received a frantic call from a client today. Delhi Police turned up with an NBW two days before hearing. Checked the order online: absolutely no NBW on the last date of hearing (where I was present). Joined via VC and of course, no response from the Judge. (1/4)

"Ganga Maa will bless me.." 🤣😡 Women were dumping clothes, polythene, and puja items into the river. When a man tried to stop, they argued with him unnecessary and dumped the trash anyway. Why are people in India so sick? They do not understand even after being told.

The Leak That Wouldn’t Stop: A City’s Thirst Drains Away At the bustling Reliance Mart intersection in Kharadi, a silent crisis has been unfolding—one that speaks volumes about neglect and lost priorities. What appears to be just another roadside inconvenience is, in reality, a relentless stream of precious drinking water slipping away, unnoticed and unchecked. Discovered by the Pune Times Mirror team, the leak sends a steady flow of potable water cascading down the road toward SP Square. The cause seems simple—a faulty valve or a damaged pipeline—but the consequences are anything but. For days, perhaps longer, the water has continued to gush, with locals watching helplessly as it travels hundreds of meters along the sloping road, wasting thousands of litres every single day. This is not just a leak; it is a glaring symbol of systemic inefficiency. In a city where water scarcity is a recurring concern, such losses are not just unfortunate—they are unacceptable. Ironically, while clean water drains into the streets, tanker operators thrive, forcing housing societies and commercial establishments to spend massive sums each year just to secure basic supply. Residents say authorities are aware, yet the flow continues unabated. Experts point to common technical faults—worn seals, corrosion, pressure damage, or debris—but these explanations do little to justify the inaction. What could have been a minor repair has now turned into a prolonged and costly failure. In the end, this isn’t merely about a broken pipeline. It is about how indifference can transform a fixable flaw into a daily loss of a resource that millions depend on. Here in Kharadi, every drop lost tells a larger story—of a city that cannot afford to let its lifeline run to waste.

It’s honestly unbelievable - Shehbaz Sharif had a rare chance to present himself as a global peacemaker, but in the rush, he ended up leaving the “Draft” tag in place. That just turned the whole thing into an embarrassing blunder instead of a serious moment. Absolute comedy 😂
