Does imaginary scam peddler ex C&AG, VINOD RAI have an iota of shame over the billion dollar scams he cooked up ruining lives & reputations. Do @narendramodi @ArvindKejriwal & frauds like Anna Hazare & the scamming babas & gurus who rode in to power & billions have any shame as all the fake scams collapse?

At a time when #foxes, #wolves, #jackals and #hyenas are losing their habitat across the state as land is being converted into farmlands, two farmers from #Haveri and #Gadag have allowed the animals to use their farmlands to rear their young. #Karnataka deccanherald.com/india/karnatak…

Pastor Mojtaba Ahmadi (Iran/Turkey) Endured 170 days of brutal torture for his faith before he fled to Turkey, and now he faces deportation back to Iran. If sent back, Pastor Mojtaba Ahmadi will face another three years of severe abuse in an Iranian prison.

In a shocking development, the Gangotri Temple Committee in Uttarakhand recently proposed a ritual test requiring devotees to drink panchgavya—a mixture of cow urine, dung, milk, curd, and ghee—to prove they are “true Hindus.” The entry ban on non-Hindus is part of a series of moves to reinforce Hindutva-inspired governance in the state.

@PTI_News Corrupt politicians of the Grand old party in India. I bet the leadership is okay with it and they even have given it a go ahead. It shows their priorities.

Indians are buying less than what they did a year ago. I am talking about everyday consumer goods like rice, dal, atta, butter, milk, meat, softdrinks cooking oil, soaps, toothpaste, hair oil, detergents. In the first 11 months of 2025-26, the production of such goods has grown ZERO percent. Considering that our population would have grown by at least 1% in this period, our per capita consumption has DECLINED.

A poacher has illegally killed one of Yellowstone National Park's most prominent and beloved wolves, dealing a serious setback to conservation efforts and the scientific monitoring of the region's iconic wolf population. The victim was Wolf 1478F, a young female gray wolf born in 2022 into the renowned Junction Butte pack—widely regarded as the most viewed and photographed wolf pack in the world, thanks to its visibility from major park roads and long-term study since the 1995 reintroduction program. According to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP), the wolf was shot around 10 p.m. on Christmas Day 2025 (December 25) near the Jardine area in Montana's Wolf Management Unit 313, just outside the park's northern boundary. The unit had already met its quota of three wolves and closed to legal hunting on November 16, 2025, making the kill outright illegal. Investigators received a mortality signal from her tracking collar, but upon arrival, they discovered the collar had been deliberately cut off and tossed into a tree in an apparent effort to conceal the crime. The carcass itself was not recovered, complicating the case. Wolf 1478F was celebrated by wildlife trackers, photographers, visitors, and advocates as a "rising star" with exceptional hunting skills and a distinctive presence. She was seen as a potential future alpha female (matriarch) for the Junction Butte pack, whose stability and dynamics have been closely observed for decades. Her loss disrupts the pack's social structure—already strained by prior incidents—and represents a blow to ongoing research on wolf behavior, ecology, and the broader Rocky Mountain ecosystem. Wildlife groups, including Wolves of the Rockies, are mourning the incident and urging justice, with FWP offering an increased reward (up to $31,000 as of recent updates) for information leading to the poacher's arrest. This case highlights persistent tensions over wolf hunting near park borders and the vulnerability of collared study animals. The story has drawn widespread coverage from outlets like ABC News, USA Today, SFGATE, and People, underscoring the emotional and ecological impact on one of conservation's flagship success stories.

@throttleandtech Especially within the last one year.

The downfall of Team-BHP needs to be studied. 20 years of reading it, and I’ve never seen it this bad. Post CARS24 takeover—serious enthusiasts seem to have checked out, and the threads reflect it.

What a fragile always butt hurt religious figure they have in Pakistan... 😔

Pakistani Christian Faces Death Penalty Over Blasphemy Allegations Ishtiaq Saleem, a 34-year-old sanitation worker, is accused of downloading blasphemous material on social media. He has been imprisoned for three years during court proceedings. Pakistan's blasphemy laws mandate the death penalty for insulting Islam's prophet Muhammad, frequently targeting Christians and other minorities, often due to personal disputes. Although the text mentions life imprisonment, the Federal Sharia Court ruled in 1991 that only the death penalty is consistent with Islamic law, effectively mandating it.  Pakistani courts have handed down several death sentences to Christians and other citizens. Furthermore, many in the country face mob violence or prolonged imprisonment when accused of blasphemy. Some have been lynched before their case trials begin. According to Pakistan's constitution, the right to free speech is subject to the restrictions necessary to ensure “the glory of Islam.” My latest:

@AkyolinEnglish Yes they were simply killed.

Under Ottoman Islamic rule, for nearly 400 years until 1917, Christians were never barred from celebrating Palm Sunday Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Today they are:

Turkey continues to convert historic Byzantine sites from museums back into active mosques. Here’s the latest: 🕌 Hagia Sophia (Istanbul): Converted in 2020. Open for prayer; tourists now pay a fee for gallery access. 🎨 Chora Church (Kariye): Reopened as a mosque in May 2024. Its world-famous mosaics are screened during prayer. 📍 Other Sites: Hagia Sophias in Trabzon (2013) and Iznik (2011) have also made the switch. While praised locally as a return to Ottoman heritage, the moves face criticism from UNESCO over the preservation of Christian art.

True. Also true: under Ottoman Islamic rule Armenian and Assyrian Christians were genocided; the Patriarch of Serbia was murdered; the Greek patriarch of Istanbul was lynched; the Archbishop of Mardin was executed. The list is long and bloody. Do you want me to continue?

Singaporean authorities have already ruled the death of singer Zubeen as "accident". But for appeasement, BJP and Congress continue to probe "murder".
