Pakistan is once again underwater.In the country's north—specifically the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa—torrential monsoon rains dropped 150 millimeters in under an hour. That's six inches of rain, fast enough to overwhelm any drainage system. But here, it didn't just flood streets—it destroyed entire communities. At least 700 people are dead. Over 100 are missing. And in Bishnoi village, 50% of all homes are gone—flattened or washed away.This isn't just bad weather. It's a lethal convergence of natural vulnerability and systemic fragility: hilly terrain, deforestation, poor infrastructure, and collapsing governance capacity. Add climate change, and Pakistan—already one of the world's most climate-vulnerable nations—is facing a catastrophe that's becoming alarmingly routine.On today's episode of The International Risk Podcast, we're not just discussing weather patterns. We're talking about how extreme climate events are redrawing the map of risk—impacting state stability, migration flows, food security, and the future of regional cooperation.Today, we are joined by Dr. Erum Sattar, LLB, LLM, SJD, a Pakistani legal scholar specialising in water law amidst global environmental and institutional challenges.

She has an upcoming chapter on International Water Law and its history, application and future in Pakistan and is also co-editor of the upcoming The Cambridge Handbook of Islam and Environmental Law. The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

Pavel Zarubin has access to President Putin that other journalists can only dream of. He interviews him regularly, and travels around the world covering huge geopolitical meetings, even posting to his vast social media audience from Putin's meetings with Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, and even from under the table of Putin's meeting with Kim Jong Un. BBC Russian's Elizaveta Fokht traces his career from truth seeking young reporter, to being the President's favoured journalist. Sana Mir is one of Pakistan's most famous cricket players. She played for her country in 226 matches, captaining the team in 137 of them. Being a woman in cricket in Pakistan was not always easy for her, but she has been very outspoken about the sexism and body shaming she faced as a professional athlete. She recently was the first Pakistani woman to be inducted into the International Cricket Council's hall of fame, and Nazish Fiaz of BBC Urdu went to interview her. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world.

Disco deewanay!AhaIf there is an anthem for the youth in Pakistan, it is disco deewanay, and today we celebrate the woman who sang it, Nazia Hasan.We had two choices in the 80s, Zia ka Pakistan or Nazia ka Pakistan, on one side we had guns, extremism, and violence, and on the other side we had love, music, and dance.We all know what Pakistan chose, and not only did we lose Nazia Hasan, we lost Nazia ka Pakistan.#78years78heroes
Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover the third day of the government shutdown, new polling on political violence, a Minnesota immigration bust, shocking revelations in the Epstein case, crackdowns on unsafe foreign truck drivers, the rising cost of AI power demands, European drone threats, the UK's immigration and crime crisis, a free speech case in Switzerland, a new defense pact in the Pacific, and the science of living to 117. Quick hits to set your radar for the weekend. Day Three of the Shutdown: Trump celebrated, “I can't believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity.” He is targeting Democrat-leaning agencies and clawing back billions from NYC's subway system and Biden's green energy projects to fund AI and mineral wars. Poll on Political Violence: NPR and PBS found 30 percent of Americans say violence may be necessary to “steer the country in the right direction,” up from 19 percent last year. Bryan warns that equals 60 million people. Immigration Fraud Bust in Minnesota: Operation Twin Shield uncovered 275 likely cases of sham marriages, fake jobs, and forged documents. Nationwide “neighborhood checks” are set to follow. Epstein Blackmail Claims: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, a former neighbor, said Epstein's massage room “was on video” and called him “the greatest blackmailer ever.” His account echoes Cindy McCain's 2020 remark that “we all knew” what Epstein was doing. Foreign Truck Driver Crackdown: DOT Secretary Sean Duffy imposed strict new visa, immigration, and English requirements after finding 25 percent of California CDLs are bogus. Trucking groups applauded the move. AI Sends Power Bills Higher: Bloomberg reports AI data centers pushed utility costs up $16.1 billion in the PJM grid, raising household bills. But Johns Hopkins found AI can predict surgical complications better than doctors, offering life-saving potential. Russia's Shadow Fleet and Drone Threats: France detained a Russian oil tanker tied to drones buzzing Denmark. Bryan warns adversaries could launch drones or missiles from disguised ships off U.S. shores. UK's Crisis of Immigration and Crime: A Syrian named Jihad al-Shamie attacked a synagogue, while a British blogger was arrested for posting “F- Hamas.” Seven Pakistani men were sentenced for grooming gangs, and the NHS briefly praised first-cousin marriage before pulling the report. Swiss Man Jailed for Free Speech: He refused to pay fines for calling gender ideology a “mental illness” and chose 10 days in jail. Bryan notes Trump and Vance are right to warn Europe is committing “national suicide.” Pacific Defense Pact: Papua New Guinea signed a deal with Australia, reversing a drift toward Beijing and securing vital waters for U.S. and allied navies. Life at 117: Spanish researchers studied a woman who lived to 117, crediting strong gut bacteria, olive oil, daily walks, and plain yogurt. Bryan quipped, “Unless you live in Portland, where Antifa will get you first.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump government shutdown day three, Trump cuts Democrat agencies, NYC subway green energy clawback, NPR PBS poll political violence, Minnesota Operation Twin Shield sham marriages, Epstein blackmail Howard Lutnick massage room, Cindy McCain Epstein hiding in plain sight, Sean Duffy DOT truck driver crackdown, AI data center power bills Bloomberg, Johns Hopkins AI surgical risk, France detains Russian tanker drones Denmark, UK Jihad al-Shamie synagogue attack, UK blogger arrested Hamas post, UK grooming gangs Pakistani men, NHS cousin marriage report, Switzerland man jailed free speech skeletons, Papua New Guinea Australia defense pact, Spain woman age 117 gut bacteria

The Asia Cup has never been straightforward. Scheduled every two years, it often slips away — undone by border tensions and government quarrels. This year, despite tensions between India and Pakistan, the tournament managed to be held.The young Indian team, missing the usual veterans, went unbeaten. Pakistan made the final a nail-biting contest: a reminder of why this rivalry endures and is eagerly awaited by people of two countries that were once one.Sadly, the clashes between these famed rivals were overshadowed by fighter-plane gestures and snubbed handshakes. India lifted nothing but an imaginary trophy. They had won every match but refused the silverware from the Pakistani head of the Asian Cricket Council. Why do the shadows of politics so often creep onto a field made for sport? To make sense of this, we turn to KC Vijaya Kumar, Sports Editor of The Hindu, who has spent decades tracing this much-cherished rivalry on the pitch and behind the scenes.

Story 1: The term “fascist” has become the go-to insult among politicians and political steamers as of late, but how many of them understand the definition behind it? Will breaks down what the true definition of fascism is and explains how its misuse can potentially embolden some to commit acts of violence. Story 2: Congressman Andy Barr (R-KY) joins Will to discuss the rise in support for socialism in Democrats across the country, and the ripple effect it has had amongst the Democratic Party's politics. Plus, Rep. Barr and Will react to a viral clip of Kentucky legend Colonel Sanders' great-great-great nephew denouncing KFC's risqué marketing, before proceeding to reveal what he claims are the secret 11 herbs and spices. Story 3: Host of ‘The Rubin Report,' Dave Rubin helps Will break down the bizarre support from the UK's National Health Service for first cousin marriage, which they now claim leads to stronger social support systems and economic advantages? Will and Dave examine how such a study could have been published despite overwhelming evidence suggesting that such marriages lead to birth defects, and what a sudden influx of Pakistani migrants has to do with it. Plus, in Final Takes, Will and The Crew share their thoughts on last night's tie between the Cowboys & the Packers, before discussing Bad Bunny being selected to headline the Super Bowl halftime show.

In this Week 39 edition of the GMS Weekly Podcast, we unpack the latest ship-recycling market trends, freight dynamics, currency and steel movements, and key regional updates from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Turkey. This week's theme: Disconnect. Global Market Overview Dry bulk freight turned volatile: Baltic Dry Index ended the week with a net 2.5 % gain, driven by Capesize strength of about 5.5 %, even as daily readings slipped late in the week. Oil softened: WTI crude fell 1 % to around USD 65 per barrel, pressured by Kurdistan resuming crude exports after 2.5 years. Currencies weakened: Indian rupee dropped to INR 88.62, Bangladesh taka to BDT 122.04, and Turkish lira to TRY 41.58; only the Pakistani rupee strengthened, to PKR 282.50. Steel plate prices mostly flatlined, except India slid USD 15 to USD 409.20 per ton, weighing on sentiment. Bangladesh Chattogram stayed the quietest sub-continent market. Recycled steel failed to move, and larger LDT tonnage kept diverting to competitors. The taka closed at BDT 122.04, while 18 yards are HKC-compliant with more approvals expected next month. India Alang faced a tough week. The rupee weakened to INR 88.62, briefly near 89, and steel prices dropped to USD 409.20 per ton. Some speculative deals, like the 4,810 LDT container Niigata Trader at USD 480/LT LDT, look stretched as fundamentals deteriorate. Ongoing U.S. tariffs and sanctions continue to cloud Q4 prospects. Pakistan Gadani brightened the regional picture. Several bulkers changed hands, including Rising Harrier at USD 445/LT LDT and Puteri Kirana at USD 390/LT LDT (“as is” Surabaya). Strong local steel prices and a PKR strengthening to 282.50 support momentum, even as HKC compliance work continues. Turkey Activity remained subdued. The lira slipped to TRY 41.58, and local steel prices edged lower, keeping sentiment soft. Beach Breakdown With freight rates mixed and steel prices uneven, regional ship-recycling markets show a clear disconnect between fundamentals and bidding.

This conversation may get British comedian and political commentator Katie Hopkins arrested when she returns home. She doesn't care. In a podcast episode that's both hilariously irreverent and deeply vulnerable, Katie chronicles her extraordinary life — from surviving a terrorist plot to behead her to sending a photo of her butt to Australia's deputy prime minister after her deportation for criticizing COVID lockdowns. Her exposés on the treatment of white farmers in South Africa led to her detention and her comedy nearly landed her in jail, but Katie remains unbowed, insisting that in an “age of madness,” we need those who are “unafraid.” For the first time, Katie reveals her response to threats of arrest for the “crime of telling jokes online,” stating, “If I'm arrested, I choose it.” She dives into her experience at the Unite the Kingdom rally, shedding light on the growing unrest in Britain, including what she describes as an Islamic “takeover” of the nation and the chilling reality of Pakistani “r*pe gangs.” Katie also gives her opinion on Tommy Robinson, praises Marco Rubio for “growing a significant pair,” and shares her admiration for the U.S. Second Amendment, including her desire to become a “buckle bunny” for a U.S. sheriff. The podcast takes a serious turn in the discussion of the U.K.'s response to Charlie Kirk's assassination, the survival of the monarchy, and Katie's perseverance when faced with the threat of losing her children and the award-winning musical that threatened her life. “I have sparkles on,” she says, gesturing to her glittering red pantsuit. “All is well.” GLENN'S SPONSORS Preborn: Together, we can end the tragedy of abortion, one mother and baby at a time.

Donald Trump verhängt Zölle gegen die Pharma. Elisabeth Baume-Schneider lockert den Ortsbildschutz, der Bundesrat will verletzte Kinder in die Schweiz holen und ihnen Asyl gewähren. Fabian Molina will das Lügen verbieten, aber nur im Bundesrat.
On today's podcast:1) The White House budget office is telling federal agencies to prepare plans for mass firings during a possible government shutdown. The move would represent a substantial escalation beyond normal shutdown protocols in recent years, under which government workers deemed nonessential in the case of a funding lapse were typically furloughed and eventually brought back when funding is restored — usually with back pay provided. 2) President Trump is scheduled to meet Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at the White House, the latest sign of improving ties between the two nations. The meeting will be the first time Trump has hosted Sharif at the White House since the Pakistani leader took his country’s top office last year. It comes as relations between the US and Pakistan have been easing in recent months following years of tensions. 3) Jimmy Kimmel’s return to late-night TV on Tuesday drew 6.26 million viewers, Walt Disney Co.’s ABC network said in an emailed statement, the most ever in the show’s regular time slot. The total is significantly higher than the 1.55 million viewers Jimmy Kimmel Live! has averaged this year, according to Nielsen data. ABC suspended the program on Sept. 17 following comments the host made two nights earlier about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What is it that fascinates us in art? What does a painting do to us? Why do artists do what they do?Art is such a vast and individuell yet universal field to explore. When and why does an artist become an artist?In my conversation with New York based, American-Pakistani artist, Tanya Minhas, we explore the invisible in art. Tanya shares her fascination for nature and the tiny moments, that inspire her thinking and her work.She shares the moment, that made it inevitable for her to commit fully to a life as an artist. It had to do with facing challenges, grief and searching for a language to be able to truly express herself and her emotions. ( As she quoted from a book she once read "Life is not all HiHi-HaHa"). Words would not suffice, and she strongly felt that the only true, freeing and authentic language for her was found in speaking through art. So she did and committed to fully be and live as an artist.Tanya's Pakistani heritage strongly influences her work, which particularly reflects in her current show. Tanya integrates and balances her artistic practice with family life - working when possible in a meditative state.Tanya Minhas has been showing her work successfully throughout the Eastcoast in various group shows and exhibitions. Her current solo show "A Tapestry of Dreams" is on view in New York City with her gallery Winston Wächter. Tanya holds a degree from Princeton University and an MBA from Columbia University. She started her career in management consulting, yet later joined the Arts Student League and studied portrait painting under MaryBeth McKenzie, to eventually move into abstract work.####On another note: I am so proud and excited to announce that SHIFT HAPPENS' Season 5 is supported by London based jewellery brand Tilly Sveaas.

In this Week 38 edition of the GMS Weekly Podcast, we cover the latest ship-recycling market trends, freight activity, steel prices, and key port updates from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Turkey. This week's theme: September Serene? Global Market Overview Freight activity stayed mixed as the Baltic Dry Index held steady: Capesize gained about 1 percent, while Panamax and Supramax fell nearly 2 percent and 3 percent. Oil prices moved only slightly higher, with WTI crude closing at USD 62.74 per barrel, still down 1.4 percent for the month and 10.8 percent year on year. Currency markets softened: Indian rupee firmed to INR 88.09, Pakistani rupee to PKR 283.44, Bangladeshi taka to BDT 121.74, while Turkish lira slipped to TRY 41.41. Steel plate prices were steady across major recycling hubs: India USD 448 per ton, Pakistan USD 619 per ton, Bangladesh USD 519 per ton. Bangladesh Activity remains sporadic. Recyclers focused on larger LDT and LNG units as smaller ships drew little interest. One fresh LDT tanker arrival broke the quiet. The taka eased to BDT 121.74 and steel plate prices held at USD 519 per ton. With February 2026 elections ahead and infrastructure demand weak, most recyclers stay cautious. India Alang stayed the busiest yard, recording about 84 K LDT of arrivals including several OFAC-listed or sanctioned units that other markets rejected. Prime Minister Modi's visit to Bhavnagar caused partial shutdowns, but demand held firm. The rupee strengthened to INR 88.09 and steel plate prices remained flat at USD 448 per ton. India continues to lead LNG recycling sales. Pakistan Gadani logged a third straight week of no arrivals. DASR certification and slow Hong Kong Convention yard upgrades continue to limit activity. Still, fundamentals are strong: PKR strengthened to 283.44 and steel plate prices remain near the industry high at USD 619 per ton. Progress on HKC compliance could allow a market rebound later this year. Turkey The market remained quiet. The lira weakened further to TRY 41.41, import steel prices fell for a second consecutive week, and recycling activity stayed minimal. Beach Breakdown Global freight markets steadied and steel prices were unchanged. India saw the most arrivals, Bangladesh stayed selective, Pakistan waited for yard approvals, and Turkey remained subdued.

A version of this essay has been published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/hindu-americans-political-vulnerability-violence-h1b-bias-13936122.htmlChandra Mouli Nagamalliah, a 50-year old motel manager in Dallas, Texas, was brutally hacked to death and beheaded by a Cuban criminal illegal alien, in front of his wife and son. The murderer kicked Chandra's head around in the parking lot, before picking it up and dropping it in a garbage bin. All this because of an argument about a washing machine.This extraordinary incident got no airplay in the US, partly because it coincided with the murder of a conservative broadcaster, Charlie Kirk. There have been other acts of extreme brutality in the US: Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was stabbed to death by a psychotic killer in a train. In December, Debrina Kawam was burned alive in a New York subway.Violence is not unusual, but it hits home when a ‘model minority' Hindu is killed in such a dramatic manner. There was also the unexplained death of Suchir Balaji, a whistleblower who used to work for OpenAI, who may have been silenced. 633 Indian students have died abroad in 5 years, including 172 in Canada and 108 in the US, according to India Today.I worry about what all this means for the 2-3 million Hindu-Americans. I specifically speak of Hindu-Americans for good reason. Non-Hindus from India have other networks: Muslims and Christians join existing mosque and church groups; some Sikhs project Khalistani memes, falsely alleging religious discrimination in India, seek asylum, and shun Indian connections. Zohran Mamdani, a PIO, has strong Islamist support in his run for NYC Mayor.Second, anti-Hindu noise in the US has gone up substantially, especially the allegation that Hindus practise caste-based discrimination. There was the California Bill SB 403, sponsored by Afghan-American State Senator Aisha Wahab, which the Governor vetoed. Now there is a new Bill SB 509 that also targets Hindus, and which has also passed the California Senate and Assembly. It was co-authored by State Assembly Member Jasmeet Bains.Then there are the lawsuits. There was the infamous suit against Cisco Systems alleging caste bias by two Hindu ‘upper-caste' managers against a ‘lower-caste' employee. After years of acrimonious hearings, the Federal Court penalized the California Civil Rights Department for faulty prosecution; CRD withdrew the case against the two managers; the case against Cisco continues in arbitration. But this has led to copy-cat suits and a malign narrative against Hindus.Another major lawsuit was against the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Temple in Robbinsville, NJ, the largest Hindu temple in the Western Hemisphere, again with accusations of caste-based discrimination. After years of wrangling, and accusations that an immigration lawyer had coerced some complainants, the DOJ and the US Attorney's Office for New Jersey closed the criminal case on September 19th, finding no violations of federal law or worker exploitation. The civil case continues; the narrative against Hindus has been strengthenedThere are leftists with Hindu names aplenty who are actively campaigning against Hindus and supporting people like the academic Audrey Truschke, a known anti-Hindu activist. This is true even among some people in India: for instance, Annapurna Roy won Best Director at the Venice Film Festival, and dedicated her win to women and “the children of Gaza”, never mind the Hindu women, children and men being severely oppressed in Bangladesh right next door.There has been a massive spike in the anti-Hindu narrative online in the recent past; paradoxically because of their ‘model-minority' nature: they work hard, obey the law, pay taxes, and get ahead in life. Hindu-Americans likely have the highest per-capita income of any ethno-religious group in the US (Indian-Americans at large do). This leads to envy, especially as the economy struggles and you need scapegoats.That is reflected in attacks on the H1-B visa program, of which Indians are the biggest beneficiaries. There is the sudden imposition of a $100,000 “tax” on H1-B visas by President Trump. The net result of this is going to be an exodus to India and third countries, an echo of Idi Amin expelling Indians from Uganda.On the one hand, a good bit of America's competency in technology is supported by Indian engineers on H1-B visas (of course, there are Indian doctors and nurses and so on also on H1-B). On the other hand, US engineers don't have much bargaining power (compared to, say, US doctors), so they have been complaining about foreign-born engineers for decades.In addition to being part of the Trump Administration's pressure tactics on trade, the H1-B noise harks back to early 20th century anti-Hindu and anti-Indian prejudice, when racism and religious bigotry combined to oppress immigrants. A century later, same wine, different bottle. I wrote in January about the compelling cases of Bhagat Singh Thind and Vaishno Das Bagai. They were, like Chandra Nagamalliah, real human beings, not just some statistics. The murdered Charlie Kirk himself had explicitly called for reducing visas for “people from India”.But there is a bigger, more general problem: Hindus generally seek wealth, not political power, ie the old Guns vs. Butter debate. The problem is that if you don't have guns, the folks with the guns will take your butter. Hindus focused historically on wealth creation, and then were left flabbergasted when wave after wave of invaders came over the Khyber Pass or across the oceans, and just took the wealth.It is the same in the US now: Hindus seek material advancement, not political power. Even the Hindu elected representatives said very little about Chandra's tragic death. Vivek Ramaswamy, who had earlier emphasized his Hindu roots, was silent until prodded by online critics. Other prominent politicians were also quiet.But other immigrant groups have made substantial progress in capturing political power. As an example, the entire city council in Hamtramck, Michigan, is Muslim. In the UK, Pakistani-origin people are in positions of power. In Dearborn, Michigan, the Muslim mayor, on September 9th, told a Christian priest that he was an Islamophobe and effectively urged him to leave the city.Without political power, Hindus will be vulnerable. There will be sorry exoduses from various countries, and India should become the “nation of last resort” for PIOs. India should treat this as a version of the ‘1000 Talents' program that China used to attract its diaspora, and create ways to utilize their skills to support economic growth. That needs a lot of planning and can be a win for the country, however traumatic it is for individuals.Here is the AI-generated Malayalam version of this podcast, from notebookLM.google.com:1000 words, 20 Sept 2025, updated 23 Sept 2025 This is a public episode.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded his much-anticipated visit to China. Mr. Modi attended the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit and also held talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the summit. The two leaders decided to restart bilateral trade and air connectivity, and underlined the importance of peace and tranquility along the border. These decisions were significant as they were made five years after the deadly border clashes between the two neighbours in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh; and months after India launched Operation Sindoor against Pakistan (at the time, China supported the Pakistani military forces). Both leaders reaffirmed that the two countries were “development partners and not rivals, and their differences should not turn to disputes,” the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement after the meeting. Should India overlook boundary issues while normalising ties with China? Here we discuss the question. Tune in!

It's Tuesday, September 16th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Pakistani flood claims 900 lives Floods in Pakistan have taken the lives of 900 people. Plus, over two million people have been displaced and 1,600 villages destroyed. The British Christian Asian Association is on the ground helping Christian communities in Pakistan now. Make a donation through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Indicate in the box at the bottom of the linked page that your donation is to help the Pakistani flood victims. Trump compared Brazilian witch hunt of Bolsonaro to his trials As The Worldview reported on September 12th, Brazil's previous president, Jair Bolsonaro, was convicted of trying to overturn the 2022 election, and sentenced to 27 years in prison for it. U.S. President Donald Trump responded by comparing the ordeal with his own in 2020. He said, “I thought he was a good president of Brazil, and it's very surprising that could happen very much like they tried to do with me, but they didn't get away with it at all.” The Wall Street Journal featured a column by Mary O'Grady declaring that Brazil's courts have been turned to Lawfare — the use of the judicial system to achieve political ends. Nepal's revolution leaves 51 dead and with new Prime Minister The nation of Nepal has been caught in a maelstrom of revolution for the past week, leaving 51 people dead, government buildings destroyed, and supermarkets and politician's homes burned to the ground, reports the BBC. The revolution was largely instigated by Gen Z, 18 to 24-year-old college-aged youth, after a social media ban. Nepal's prime minister resigned, and another was appointed — the first woman leader of the Himalayan country. The nation is relying upon Sushila Karki to restore stability. She has promised $11,330 for each family where a protester was killed in the melee. Similar youth-driven revolutions occurred in Sri Lanka in 2022 and Bangladesh in 2024, overturning these national governments as well. Isaiah 3:12 speaks of the instability of nations in similar terms. It says, “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” The nations of the world which have appointed or elected the most female leaders since 1946 are Finland, India, New Zealand, and England. The average number of nations led by female heads hovered around 6 in the 1990s and early 2000s. Today, the average has increased to 15 female leaders. Utah Gov.: Kirk's murderer was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology” Utah Republican Governor Spencer Cox has announced on CNN's State of the Union that official charges will be filed today against Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson. The governor also said, “The FBI has confirmed that [Robinson's] roommate was a romantic partner, a male transitioning to female.” Cox added that evidence from family and friends is pointing to the fact that the alleged murderer had been “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology.” Romans 1:28 and 29 speaks of the progression of evil: “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder.” Tyler Robinson's trans roommate “hates conservatives and Christians” Fox News has also reported that Robinson's 22-year-old “trans roommate” "hates conservatives and Christians.” That according to an interview with a relative on Fox. The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, told Fox News Digital her relative began to act differently when he turned 18 and said that he developed a hatred of Christians and conservatives. She explained that “He hated us. He was not raised that way, but he, over the years, has become really detached [and] been radicalized. … He has obviously gotten progressively worse the last year or two.” Transgenderism on the rise Transgenderism has increased across the United States — with 1.6% of American adults claiming to be such. That's four million Americans! Pew Research estimates that 44% of Americans know somebody who is attempting to appear to change their own gender. The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland attempted the first gender mutilations back in 1966. The program was shut down in 1979. Then again, in 1997, the practice was reinstated by a Dr. Stanley Biber in Trinidad, Colorado. Biber's clinic became the gender mutilation capital of the country until the surgeon's retirement in 2003. These are the roots of the movement in America. Gold and stocks hit new highs Gold is reaching for new highs — scraping $3,670 per ounce on Monday. Silver reached $42.60 per ounce. That's up 41% and 38% respectively over the previous year. Stocks are up similarly. The NASDAQ reached 22,340 points yesterday, a 27% increase over last year. Meanwhile, the median house selling price has dropped a total of 7% since late 2022. Teen reels in 177-pound Halibut And finally, 13-year-old Jackson Denio of New Hampshire reeled in a 177-pound Atlantic Halibut off the New England coast last week. That could be a world record for a youth catch. After wrestling with the fish for a half an hour on the line, it took three men to get the monster in the boat. DENIO: “It took the three deckhands and the captain to get it in the boat, and then, once it was in the boat, everybody was just yelling and cheering. FRIEND: “Jackson! Whoo!” The largest halibut on record weighed 515 pounds, caught in Alaska in 1996. Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, September 16th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Episode 383: On June 18, 2023, five people boarded the experimental Titan submersible for what was meant to be a once-in-a-lifetime voyage to the wreck of the Titanic, resting nearly four kilometres beneath the North Atlantic. Less than two hours into the descent, all contact with the surface vessel was lost. Over the following days, searchers scoured the area, but hopes for a rescue faded quickly. When remotely operated vehicles finally reached the seabed, they found the Titan reduced to scattered fragments, the result of a catastrophic implosion. Aboard were Oceangate CEO and pilot Stockton Rush, 61; British businessman Hamish Harding, 58; French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77; and Pakistani father and son Shahzada Dawood, 48, and Suleman Dawood, 19; all were killed instantly.

JB White returns with a fiery Monday edition of the RattlerGator Report, mixing college football passion with hard-hitting cultural and political commentary. He opens by defending Florida's coach Billy Napier after a tough loss, blasting fans who don't know how to lose gracefully, and reflecting on how NIL money and high school training have changed the game. From there, JB pivots to international issues, taking aim at Britain's decades-long cover-up of Pakistani grooming gangs and the cowardice of white men who looked away. He ties this into a broader discussion of propaganda, free speech, and how Elon Musk's X is exposing truths the BBC and elites try to bury. The episode crescendos with JB's “Back at Ya” battle plan theory, framing Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Michael Saylor as disruptors in government, business, and finance. With Trump renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War, JB argues America is in a new phase of fifth-generation warfare, with Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and Michael Saylor as the Delta Force of economic disruption. Equal parts rant, revelation, and rallying cry, this episode captures JB's trademark Southern fire.
Family Matters with Jim Minnery - The Faith & Politics Show !
Going from fighting with Muslims in the Bosnian civil war along with a Pakistani militant group that ultimately had him being convicted and imprisoned for nearly 14 years on weapons charges for violating U.S. neutrality laws is not a background you'd expect for a recently appointed member of President Trump's White House's Religious Liberty Commission.But that is the story of Ismail Royer.While in prison, Royer abandoned Islamist radicalism and now works with nonprofits to promote peace and combat religious extremism. As the Director of the Islam and Religious Freedom Action Team for the Religious Freedom Institute, Royer was instrumental in galvanizing Muslims and people of other faiths to stand up to the Montgomery County School District in Maryland that had refused to let parents opt their children out of LGBTQ indoctrination.Ultimately, the case (Mahmoud v Taylor) went to the U.S. Supreme Court where they ruled in favor of the parents. Great precedent. Fascinating story.Hope you can join us for my discussion with Ismail.Support the show
Spoilers Warning! If you haven't finished reading the 900 pages of The Hallmarked Man and don't want to hear details from the novel, you will not enjoy this conversation about Strike8.John read the latest Strike-Ellacott novel by Thursday morning using the pre-publication head start, the Robert Glenister audiobook dropped early Tuesday morning, a bootleg epub version on his wife's iPad, and the codex hardcover that arrived at 5:00 on the day of release. Nick didn't finish until early Saturday but was already half-way through his second reading via audiobook by Sunday night.John didn't especially enjoy reading the book as fast as he did; Nick was frustrated that he could not read it faster than he did. Both were delighted by Rowling's work and are looking forward to the coming weeks of re-reading and ‘Tools, Springs, and Threads' analysis of its artistry and meaning.In this week's conversation, they touch on fandom disappointment with the new book before discussing how three predictions they'd made about Hallmarked Man played out, the three Real World targets of Rowling's wrath in her current work, John's preliminary work on the novel's epigraphs (and the Aurora Leigh-esque forgotten tome of epic poetry that may be Strike8's Rosmersholm or Faerie Queene), and what's next in their reading of Cormoran Strike.As is their wont, Nick and John refer to ideas and to people that Serious Readers will want to check up on or learn more about. Here are a selection of links to many of these subjects with their apology for those they've missed and their invitation to share counter-sources or requests for other links.They thank everyone who listens to these Lake and Shed conversations, those who join in the discussions in the comment thread below (how was your first reading of Hallmarked Man?), and especially for our paid subscribers who were polled for their questions and concerns last week for our consideration before we put our notes together.Hogwarts Professor is a reader-supported publication.

Anteros is the subject of the Shaftesbury Memorial in Piccadilly Circus, London, where he symbolizes the selfless philanthropic love of the Earl of Shaftesbury for the poor. The memorial is sometimes given the name The Angel of Christian Charity and is popularly mistaken for Eros, cf., Lloyd & Mitchinson (2006) The Book of General Ignorance “Because of the bow and the nudity… everybody assumed it was Eros, the Greek god of love.”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anteroshttps://www.theoi.com/Ouranios/ErosAnteros.htmlEros is the brother of Anteros and also pretty much the opposite of Eros.Reading Rowling at Four Levels (John Granger, 2021)Robin and Cormoran, even if you want to include Sam Barclay, are not a soul exteriorization akin to Harry, Hermione, and Ron. The psychomachia of the Strike novels is built on the Shakespearean soul-Spirit romantic model rather than the Platonic-Patristic body-mind-spirit soul triptych of ancient, Medieval, and contemporary film and written fiction. In this model, the man and woman lede players take the part of soul and spirit, Coomaraswamy's duo sunt in homine human and divine aspects, either as fixed roles as in Othello and The Tempest or in relation to the other, each being soul and embracing the other as supra-natural as in Romeo and Juliet and Antony and Cleopatra (see Lings and Pogson for that). Rowling's embedded models for this exteriorized drama of human sanctification are the myths of ‘Leda and the Swan‘ and ‘Psyche and Cupid‘ and the psychomachia spiritual allegories of Eros and Anteros, true and false Cupid, within Spenser's Faerie Queen, the Redcrosse Knight and Una as well as Britomart and Artegell.On Valentine Longcaster as the Erotic Cupid (Strike being the Anterotic Cupid)Valentine Longcaster is a hilarious cryptonym for Cupid, for whom Valentine is a second name (see the post on Valentine's Day in the Psyche and Eros post) and ‘Longcaster' is a reference to his weapon of choice, the bow and arrow of the god of love. He pricks Strike at the direction of Venus-Charlotte, in some myths his mother, in others a lover and cousin or brother (murky waters!), and sets in motion the long-range plan of the envious ex to destroy Robin and Cormoran's budding relationship.Add ‘Valentine Longcaster' to the pile of evidence for this particular backdrop and let's continue to look for parallels and links Rowling has playfully embedded in the psycho-spiritual, neo-mythological allegory of the soul's journey to perfection, and specifically the souls of women.For much more on this Eros-Anteros distinction and its importance in grasping the allegorical meaning of the Strike-Ellacott relationship, see Ink Black Heart: Strike as Zeus to Robin's Leda and Cupid to Mads' Psyche (John Granger, 2022)Fandom Response to Hallmarked Man:From the Reddit r/Cormoran Strike page:Hogwarts Professor Predictions for Hallmarked Man:* Charlotte was Murdered (Nick Jeffery), Really, It Wasn't a Suicide (John Granger)‘Charlotte' mentioned twice as often in Strike 8 as ‘Cormoran' and Valentine Longcaster's interview with Robin Ellacott has a major ‘tell' at its finish (cf. p 451, ch 62).* Robin Ellacott is Sterile (John Granger), Rowling Studies podcastEctopic Pregnancy consequent to PID and Murphy Pregnancy Trap leading to de facto sterility prediction appears as story-line in Chapter 3 of Hallmarked Man* The Baby in the LakeHallmarked Man is Rowling's ‘Baby Novel.'Rowling's Three Targets in Hallmarked Man's Surface Story* The Ideologically Captured Police and Media and the ‘False Religion' of Freemasonry's Control of the Police in Hallmarked ManRowling's Week of publication tweets and retweets about UK police taking the side of Trans Activists and against Gender Critical feminists: * https://x.com/iain_masterton/status/1963545948711219320 (JKR retweet)* https://x.com/joannaccherry/status/1963547738722668666 (ditto)* https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1963528602164555894* https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1963297139905167722* https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1962847107343139014* https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1963465628053848363* https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1963299236365140305* https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1963298726417457300* https://x.com/soniasodha/status/1963185964630647295 (JKR retweet; nota bene)* https://x.com/Jebadoo2/status/1962959405160239135 (JKR retweet)* https://x.com/joannaccherry/status/1962930361035374703 (retweet)* https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1962932333025067268* https://x.com/JohannLamont/status/1963658557007749364 (retweet)Boris Johnson and Lord BranfootBoris Johnson hosting the show. 2003 (YouTube)Boris Johnson's Personal Image or Brand (Wikipedia)Max Hastings referred to Johnson's public image as a "façade resembling that of P. G. Wodehouse's Gussie Fink-Nottle, allied to wit, charm, brilliance and startling flashes of instability",[4] while political scientist Andrew Crines stated Johnson displayed "the character of a likable and trustworthy individual with strong intellectual capital".[5] Private Eye editor Ian Hislop has defined him as "Beano Boris" due to his perceived comical nature, saying: "He's our Berlusconi ... He's the only feel-good politician we have, everyone else is too busy being responsible."[6] To the journalist Dave Hill, Johnson was "a unique figure in British politics, an unprecedented blend of comedian, conman, faux subversive showman and populist media confection".* “Mentally Ill Islamophobes”2021-22 Census ~ Islam in the UK Demographics: 6% UK, 6.7% England, 15% LondonUK 'Grooming Gangs': Deriving Per-Capita Offence Rates by EthnicityInstitute for Social Policy Research (UK) An independent, data-driven social-policy research institute focusing on UK political affairs.We therefore conclude that consistent with widespread public perceptions, whilst available evidence is not exhaustive, the mean rate derived from four of the most comprehensive studies available to date on share of CSEGG crimes by ethnicity does affirm the picture that Asians and Blacks are overrepresented in such crimes. Curiously, with much of the attention devoted to “Asians” (predominantly Pakistani gangs), it is notable that Blacks are similarly overrepresented, with our weighted rate providing limited evidence of even greater over-representation than Asians.Please note, however —For the CEOP study that ISPR use, footnote 1 shows the selection criteria, excluding all abuse initiated in a familial or fraternal (house based) relationship:"Where “localised-grooming” is defined as: “a form of sexual exploitation – previously referred to as ‘on street grooming' in the media - where children have been groomed and sexually exploited by an offender, having initially met in a location outside their home. this location is usually in public, such as a park, cinema, on the street or at a friend's house. Offenders often act together, establishing a relationship with a child or children before sexually exploiting them. some victims of ‘street grooming' may believe that the offender is in fact an older ‘boyfriend'; these victims introduce their peers to the offender group who might then go on to be sexually exploited as well. abuse may occur at a number of locations within a region and on several occasions. ‘Localised grooming' was the term used by CEOP in the intelligence requests issued to police forces and other service agencies in order to define the data we wished to receive.” (footnote 1, p. 7)"They also exclude the 39% of cases where race was not included in the data. It would be sensible to assume that ethnicity was not recorded when the ethnicity of both perpetrators and the victim were the UK default.Removing the selection criteria shows that people of Asian ethnicity are under-represented in child sex abuse cases compared to White British: https://www.csacentre.org.uk/app/uploads/2024/02/Trends-in-Offical-Data-2022-23-FINAL.pdfJulie Blindel pushes back on the ‘Grooming Gang as Muslim problem' narrative:To say that the only reason the police were complacent when it came to the grooming gangs of Rochdale, Rotherham, Telford, and elsewhere was because (some of) these men were Pakistani Muslim, is madness. The ethnicity and religion of these men is relevant, but not in the way the racists would have us believe. It is relevant because it was seen as a phenomena perpetrated because of ethnicity as opposed to male violence towards females. Look at it any other way betrays the vast majority of girls that fall prey to these men.The Epigraph Authors — and a hidden Book Behind the Book?* Albert Pike, Confederate States of America General* Louise Freeman Davis on John Oxenham's Maid of the Silver Sea* Aurora Leigh (Elizabeth Barret Browning) and Ink Black Heart* The Ring and the Book (Robert Browning)* Pompilia: A Feminist Reading of 'The Ring and the Book'Hogwarts Professor is a reader-supported publication.

Britain has seen an influx of illegal immigrants from the Islamic Middle East, often without proper background checks. Scandals involving Pakistani immigrants grooming young girls went largely ignored by authorities due to fears of political backlash. Ordinary citizens face harassment for expressing patriotism, even as immigrant communities display cultural or political symbols freely. Victor Davis Hanson explains that this crisis is part of a larger European problem, and how the social, demographic, and political pressures facing Britain and Europe threaten the stability of their nations on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “They've had a series of controversies and incidents and scandals in which Pakistani illegal immigrants have been grooming young British girls in the sex trades. And this was apparently known to authorities. But they felt that it was politically correct, in the age of DEI and woke, to seriously pursue any legal ramifications, until the public was outraged. “And this is in addition to the beginning of massive demonstrations, on the part of the British, Scottish, Irish, Welsh public, to perceived indifference from the United Kingdom Labour Party to the plight of their own citizens. In other words, they're censoring thought, dissent of British citizens, but not in the same manner they are of illegal aliens. And this translates into some very Orwellian and absurd incidents.”
President Donald Trump said on Monday that India has offered to reduce its tariffs on U.S. goods to zero. Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: "They have now offered to cut their Tariffs to nothing, but it's getting late. They should have done so years ago."Authorities confirmed that more than 800 people were killed and thousands more injured as a magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck southeastern Afghanistan late on Sunday. Rescuers are battling to reach remote, mountainous areas cut off from mobile networks along the Pakistani border, where many mud-brick homes collapsed in the quake.A European Union spokesperson said on Monday that the Global Positioning System of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's aircraft was jammed while en route to Bulgaria on Sunday, though it ultimately landed safely. Bulgarian authorities said they suspect Russia's involvement in the incident. The incident occurred while von der Leyen was on a four-day tour to EU member states in Eastern Europe.
