[Just The News] A single national language remains the "glue" that holds a country and her citizens together. In a multicultural society, it’s imperative to maintain a single language in order for citizens to understand each other, to work together to solve problems, and finally, to enjoy fellowship. Someone from Maine can speak and share ideas or stories from another person living in Michigan, North Dakota, Washington State or Texas. That’s the beauty of a single language.
Another reality about different languages stems from the fact that every language from different countries forces people into different mindsets. Someone from Saudi Arabia speaking Arabic cannot and does not think like an American. On the hand, if an American tried to live in Saudi Arabia, they would not enjoy any reference points or similarities to Muslims or their way of thinking. When you cannot understand another person’s language, it leads to unrest, even conflict.
Today in America, with 25 million illegal aliens, and another 1.2 million legal immigrants imported into the United States annually, we are importing strangers from strange lands that lack any affinity to America or our national identity.
For instance, Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan teach their kids in Arabic and Sharia Law from the Quran. There is NO identification with America or American culture. Same thing grows in Minneapolis, Minnesota with 84,000 Somalians who think on a totally different plain and conflicting reference points than Americans. Additionally, 90 percent of them subsist on welfare, with no intention of working or contributing to America’s workforce—which pays for their welfare.
By 2026, demographers reported 50.6 million foreign-born in America. They brought over 100 different languages to America. They cost you, the American taxpayer, billions to educate their children with ESL courses, which, in reality, millions of them don’t adopt. Thus, that’s 50 million people with different mindsets and thinking counter to American thinking. When you add the other 25 million illegals during Biden’s term, you’re looking at 75 million foreign-born.
Examples abound: Anchor baby Hassan Piker in Michigan, from Turkey, stated that, "America deserved 9/11." He hates our Constitution even when it allows him to berate our country. If he said the same thing in China or Russia—he would vanish into a prison or be poisoned to death or shot.

[KhaamaPress] On 1 October 2026, Pakistain again carried out Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s inside Afghanistan, this time targeting areas in Kunar and Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... provinces. The United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) confirmed that at least 10 non-combatants were killed, most of them children, and nine others were maimed. Afghan authorities said three civilian homes were struck. Pakistain, however, said the attacks were based on credible intelligence and targeted hideouts belonging to the Tehrik-e-Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... Pakistain (TTP) and the Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... Liberation Army (BLA), claiming that 22 gunnies were killed.
The latest attacks came only a week after Pakistain’s air force struck ten locations in Kandahar, Paktia and Khost on 24 September, killing four civilians according to Afghan authorities, and just days after earlier strikes in Kunar and Paktika ...which coincidentally borders North Wazoo and Kurram Agency... in which the UN confirmed three civilian deaths.
Islamabad has repeatedly described its attacks as deliberate, precise and proportionate, presenting them as necessary responses to bully boy attacks and threats allegedly originating from Afghan territory. Yet the growing civilian toll and continuing deterioration of Pakistain’s own security situation raise serious questions about that justification. These strikes appear to serve two additional political goals for Islamabad that go beyond its stated counterterrorism strategy against the TTP: avoiding the difficult commitments Pakistain faces under the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement and diverting attention from Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir’s failure to contain the worsening security situation inside Pakistain.
The record of the past year provides enough evidence to judge Pakistain’s air campaign by its results rather than its stated intentions. Between October 2025 and September 2026, Pakistain carried out repeated air and dronezaps inside Afghanistan, targeting Kabul and the provinces of Kandahar, Kunar, Khost, Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. , Paktia and Paktika. The October strikes have now extended that campaign into Helmand as well.
The civilian cost has been severe. Between 26 January and 31 March alone, the United Nations recorded 764 civilian casualties from hostilities between Afghanistan and Pakistain: 372 people killed and 392 injured. By late September, UNAMA said cross-border armed violence had caused more than 1,100 civilian deaths and injuries in Afghanistan during 2026. The October 1 strikes provided another grim reminder of that toll, with the UN once again confirming civilian deaths, most of them children.
The deadliest incident occurred on 16 March, when Pak airstrikes hit the Omid Drug Rehabilitation and Treatment Centre in Kabul. UNAMA later verified that at least 269 non-combatants were killed and 122 injured, most of them patients. Amnesty International found no evidence supporting Pakistain’s assertion that the centre was being used to store weapons, ammunition or for other military purposes and called for the strike to be investigated as a possible war crime. That finding seriously undermined Islamabad’s justification for one of the deadliest attacks of the conflict.
Pakistain’s counterterrorism strategy also appears to be failing by its own stated objective: reducing bully boy violence at home.
On 18 September, a suicide vehicle bombing and subsequent armed assault struck the Old Police Lines complex in Kohat, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, during Friday prayers. The reported corpse count later rose to at least 31, while more than 100 people were maimed. It was the deadliest attack on a police facility in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa since the 2023 Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire... Police Lines bombing. Just before the Kohat attack, an improvised bomb struck a security forces convoy in Hangu, killing six Pak soldiers.
The broader statistics are equally troubling for Islamabad. The Islamabad-based Center for Research and Security Studies recorded 774 violence-linked deaths across Pakistain during the second quarter of 2026. Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa alone accounted for 475 deaths—a 53 percent increase from the previous quarter—while Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan together accounted for almost 96 percent of all violence-linked fatalities in the country.
These figures show little evidence that repeated strikes inside Afghanistan have deterred bully boy violence in Pakistain’s border provinces. The October 1 attacks reinforce that contradiction: Pakistain said it had once again destroyed bully boy hideouts, yet its previous rounds of cross-border military action have not prevented increasingly deadly attacks inside Pakistain.
What the air campaign has produced instead is a growing civilian toll and deeper hostility among Afghans. Civilian homes, religious institutions and a major medical facility have been among the sites reported hit during the conflict, while Kabul has repeatedly disputed Pakistain’s claims about the targets it says it is attacking.
The air campaign has also unfolded alongside other punitive measures. Pakistain has repeatedly shut border crossings and disrupted trade with Afghanistan, severely restricting the movement of essential goods. It has continued large-scale deportations of Afghan refugees and migrants colonists, while the Durand Line remains a source of deep political disagreement. To many Afghans, these policies are increasingly viewed not as attempts to solve bilateral disputes but as instruments of coercion.
Pakistain’s approach to outside mediation raises further questions about its intentions.
Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... and Turkiye brokered a ceasefire between Afghanistan and Pakistain in Doha in October 2025. Subsequent talks in Istanbul produced agreement on a monitoring and verification mechanism, but the process failed to produce a durable political settlement. By February 2026, fighting had resumed on a scale that rendered the ceasefire largely meaningless. China has also attempted to reduce tensions between Kabul and Islamabad without producing a lasting breakthrough.
More recently, Turkiye’s intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin and a senior Qatari security official travelled to Afghanistan and met senior Taliban officials, including the acting defence and interior ministers and intelligence chief. Their discussions included tensions between Kabul and Islamabad. Within days of those diplomatic efforts, Pakistain launched further rounds of airstrikes inside Afghanistan.
That sequence matters. If mediation succeeds, Pakistain and Afghanistan would both have to accept clearer and more reciprocal commitments. Continued military escalation, by contrast, allows Islamabad to act unilaterally while placing responsibility for failed diplomacy on Kabul. This makes the timing of Pakistain’s latest escalation particularly significant.
The wider regional context provides another possible explanation.
In August, Pakistain, Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start... and Turkiye signed the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, establishing a collective-defence arrangement under which an attack against one member is to be treated as an attack against all three. The agreement quickly faced its first serious test.
On 8 September, Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... forces launched a major series of missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia, targeting energy facilities and military sites. The following day, Pak Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said that aggression against Saudi Arabia could make the Mecca agreement operational and stressed that Pakistain was bound by its terms.
Pakistain’s rhetoric became even stronger in the following days. Senior Pak military officials pledged to stand with Saudi Arabia against aggression, while Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif told the United Nations General Assembly on 25 September that any threat to Mecca or Medina represented a "red line." The three countries also moved toward consultations among their military chiefs on how to respond to the growing Houthi threat.
Yet strong rhetoric is not the same as committing troops or entering another Middle Eastern war.
That distinction matters because Pakistain has been here before. In 2015, despite intense pressure from Saudi Arabia, Pakistain’s parliament voted to remain neutral in the Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... war. A decade later, Islamabad again faces the difficult task of balancing its strategic dependence on Saudi Arabia against the enormous political and military risks of becoming directly involved in Yemen.
Afghan officials have drawn their own conclusion from this timing. Taliban front man Zabihullah Mujahid has accused Pakistain of attacking Afghanistan partly to evade responsibilities under the Mecca pact and to divert attention from its domestic political, economic and security failures. Kabul obviously has its own interests in advancing this argument, and the allegation cannot by itself establish Islamabad’s motives. But it cannot simply be dismissed either.
The sequence is striking. As pressure increased on members of the Mecca pact to translate collective-defence promises into action, Pakistain simultaneously intensified military operations on its western frontier. By presenting itself as already engaged in a serious conflict with Afghanistan, Pakistain’s military leadership gains a politically convenient argument against deeper involvement elsewhere while preserving its strategic relationship with Riyadh.
The second motive is domestic and centres on Field Marshal Munir’s repeated inability to reverse Pakistain’s deteriorating security situation.
Military action across the Afghan border offers something that a difficult domestic political settlement does not: immediate images of retaliation, strength and national resolve. Airstrikes can dominate headlines after bully boy attacks and allow the military to demonstrate that it is "responding." But retaliation is not the same as strategy.
Pakistain’s security crisis has deep political, social and historical roots, particularly in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and the former tribal areas. Bombing targets across an international border cannot substitute for addressing those grievances, strengthening civilian institutions or pursuing the political compromises required for long-term stability.
Nor can repeated airstrikes conceal the basic contradiction in Islamabad’s approach. If nearly a year of military pressure inside Afghanistan has failed to reduce bully boy attacks in Pakistain—and violence in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa is instead increasing—then more of the same cannot credibly be presented as a successful counterterrorism policy.
The events of October 1 show that the cycle described here is no longer merely a prediction. Less than a week after the previous round of Pak strikes, Afghan civilians were again killed in cross-border air attacks, even as Islamabad once more declared that bully boy targets had been successfully eliminated.
The likely pattern is therefore grim but increasingly familiar: bully boy attacks inside Pakistain, followed by Pak strikes inside Afghanistan, followed by civilian casualties, public anger and another round of escalation.
That cycle may provide short-term political cover for Pakistain’s military leadership. It does not provide security for Pakistain, peace for Afghanistan or a path toward resolving the disputes between the two countries.

[BB] Wednesday marked the third time President Milei will have spoken before the U.N. General Assembly after taking office in 2023, as well as the third time he has condemned the organization after intensely torching it in 2024 and 2025.
Milei organized his new condemnation of the United Nations into three separate categories: what the U.N. “should have done but did not,” what “should not have done, but did anyway,” and comments on the United Nations’ stance on the advance of artificial intelligence. President Milei also condemned the Islamic regime of Iran over its attacks against Israel, emphasizing that Argentina is still demanding justice over the two terrorists attacks the country suffered in the 1990s from Iran through its proxy terror group, Hezbollah.
The Argentine president expanded on the first area of his criticism of the U.N. by stating that the organization was originally established under the declaration that all human beings are born free and equal, in dignity and with rights. Milei affirmed that those are “noble words, whose spirit I fully share.” However, he stated, “It is time to recognize that this sacred covenant has been broken.” This, Milei denounced, has turned the United Nations into a “useless organization that serves only to feed a caste of fatally arrogant parasites disguised as well-meaning bureaucrats.”
“Those who were supposed to guarantee collective security and human rights failed in their duty. and instead, they allowed chaos, violence, and international terrorism to prevail,” Milei said. “The so-called defenders of human rights supported bloodthirsty dictatorships and regimes that stone women to death in the streets.”
