Senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan Lambasts Americans
January 11, 2026 – Fiery Pakistani leader spoke against the suffering of Palestinians. He blamed America for the genocide in Palestine. He claimed that America funds weapons and policies which are responsible for the terrible suffering of Palestinians. He called for permanent protests at the US embassy in Islamabad until Pakistan deports the US ambassador.0
Mushtaq wondered why Pakistan army is well armed but cannot do anything to defend the Palestinians. He urged all factions in Pakistan to unite one by one against American support for the ongoing genocide in occupied Palestine.
Nationwide Protests Erupt Against ICE Violence
Anti ICE protests continued in Minneapolis after ICE agents allegedly killed a mother who seemed to be want to drive away after being challenged by ICE. ICE is treating protestors, including women, with brutality. Television reports showed heavily armed security forces beating down women into the snow, face down, and sitting on them.
Top government officials are coming on national television to defend police brutality and the murder of the woman. Crowds of protestors increased in Minneapolis, with protests in at least 80 cities, including Baltimore, held in solidarity.
Two Groups Supported by USA
The new Syria led by Ahmed al-Sharaa and SDF Kurds, armed and supported by the US, were locked in battle for three days. They inflicted heavy casualties and forced large scale dislocation of civilians. The battles have concluded with victory for Sharaa, who met Trump last month.

Mamdani Associate Resigns Amid Accusations of "Anti-Semitism"
Almost immediately after New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani selected Catherine Almonte Da Costa as his new director of appointments, she resigned.
As director of appointments, she would have been responsible for recruiting top talent for the Mamdani administration. The reason for Da Costa's immediate resignation?
Apparently, some old social media texts were discovered with her allegedly making anti-Jewish and anti-police comments, such as:
"Far Rockaway train is the Jew train" (Jun 27, 2012)
"There is a super Orthodox Jew out here in his giant fur hat and everything protesting with the Palestinians...much respect to him." (Jul 25, 2014)
There was another post supporting defunding the police by $1B, in 2020 during the George Floyd protests and referring to them as "piggies" in other posts.
There were more posts, and in some of them, the word Jew was bolded, which indicates that it was used in a word search. The ADL broke the story on its X (formerly Twitter) account. I suspect that there will be many other Zionist watchdogs closely examining every Mamdani selection for his administration, especially their social media posts.
The ADL wanted to know if Mamdani's camp knew about the posts before the account was deleted. Da Costa's account was deleted only last Thursday.
Mamdani's camp condemned Da Costa's statements, saying they "absolutely do not represent him or the values of his administration."
Catherine Da Costa expressed regret over her comments, saying, "As the mother of Jewish children, I feel a profound sense of sadness and remorse at the harm these words have caused."
Da Costa resigned so as not to be a distraction to Mamdani's efforts. Previously, she worked under Mayor Bill de Blasio's term before leaving for a private organization.
The Lesson: When you post on social media or anywhere online, consider yourself a published author.
In other areas of the country, a mere apology would have sufficed, but this is New York City. I've heard Jews refer to it as Jew York. It is not just that there is a lot of Zionist influence here.
The main realization is that Mamdani is playing the kuffar's game, and the rules were designed to help them, not him, no matter how well he plays by their rules. For adhering to the rules of such an unjust game where the outcome is decided in the kuffar's favor before it is ever played, you get a nice pat on the head for complying.

Texas Man Arrested for Defending Family
The Right to Defend in America Has Been Eroded
On January 9, 2026, Joel Adrian Florez, 43 years old, was arrested and charged with murder in the death of Joel Samuel Lozano Jr., 39 years old, who trespassed and unlawfully entered Florez's home with a weapon. This incident occurred in Big Spring, Texas, where Florez is currently being detained in a Howard County detention center.
Despite Lozano's unlawful entry into Florez's home, local police view Lozano as the "victim," not Joel Florez.
There is an astronomical number of cases where a person defending himself or herself and a loved one has been charged with a crime!
In the public school system, two children fighting are suspended, even if one of the children was a victim of bullying by the other. The school system no longer considers self-defense when investigating fights. In fact, suspending both students is a lazy way for the educational system to avoid any investigation or accountability in allowing the bullying to occur unchecked.
The professional sports leagues have long adopted an anti-self-defense stance by punishing players who fight. The NBA has been so extreme in its punishments for men who throw punches that fighting among men has been reduced to a slap-fest.
America does not like self-defense. If America truly valued its freedom fighters, it would extend its praise of fighting for freedom to those who fought against human bondage in America, rather than limiting its praise to the hypocritical, genocidal, slave-owning Founding Fathers!
Realizing America's disdain for those who fight against oppression of any kind has helped me to understand why it is so in love with its serial killers. Yet another movie depicting serial rapist and murderer, John Wayne Gacy is on television again. And how many television reality shows about serial killers like the beloved Ted Bundy are there? Too many to count! There are numerous documentary series about spouses killing spouses, neighbors killing neighbors, friends killing friends, etc. There is even a show about people who nearly committed the perfect crime but got caught!
American society has a fascination and admiration for the oppressor: the bully, the crime boss, the serial rapist and murderer. The Associated Press has demonstrated its concern for the aggressor instead of the victim of a crime. Rather than focus on the heinous wrong committed against the victim of a crime, the media paints the crime victim as weak and uninteresting.
The prosecutors are the true culprits because they are the ones who go forward with criminalizing self-defense. It is not just up to activism to protect our rights, but also to these runaway juries who decide against convictions based on their own God-conscious common sense and moral logic.

Retired FDNY Lieutenant Killed by NYPD
New York State Attorney General Letitia James has pledged to investigate the shooting death of 62-year-old retired Fire Department Lieutenant Michael Lynch, who was also a former New York City police officer and bus driver. Lynch was shot to death by police in a Columbia Presbyterian hospital room.
At a press conference with Lynch's family and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams present, Jonathan Logan, president of the FDNY Vulcan Society, a fraternity of Black FDNY firefighters, "respectfully" demanded an investigation into the death of his fraternity brother.
On January 8, 2026, Michael Lynch was brought to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in Brooklyn for stroke-like symptoms. According to Assistant NYPD Chief Charlie Minch, reports are that Lynch barricaded himself in a hospital room with another elderly patient and a security guard. According to the NYPD, Lynch had a makeshift weapon and threatened to harm himself and others. When the police arrived, they claimed there was blood on the exterior of the hospital room door and on the walls and floor inside the room. The NYPD claims that officers told Lynch, who appeared at the opening of the room, to drop his weapon. According to police, he was tasered, but when he lunged at police officers, this is when they shot him multiple times, and he was killed.
Notice the dramatic descriptions of the environment and how it is meant to paint Michael Lynch as a wild savage whose shooting was justified. Although Assistant NYPD Chief Charlie Minch was speaking at a press conference held immediately after the shooting, he was not speaking to all New Yorkers. He was speaking to those pro-law enforcement New Yorkers who blindly support whatever actions the NYPD take, justified or not.
These types of shootings have been carried out by a militarized police force for decades now. Activists have been consistent in their efforts to warn Americans about the militarization of the police force and the prison-industrial complex. I assume Lynch's makeshift weapon was not a gun. There is a long-held belief that bringing a knife to a gunfight always puts the knife-wielder at a disadvantage! Was Michael Lynch a serious threat to the lives of the people around him? There was a time when police officers would join in and bumrush the suspect and wrestle his weapon from his person. But, not anymore.
Retired FDNY Lieutenant Michael Lynch also participated in the recovery efforts at Ground Zero after the events of 9/11/2001. But, after witnessing America's disregard shown for its homeless, mentally-disturbed military veterans, I can see how ungrateful the American government is towards those who risk their lives serving it.
NY1 recently concluded a report on the NYPD's use of tasers and how its usage, not only resulted in some deaths, but in one instance, they did not report taser usage in one of these deaths.

*FLAVOR OF THE HEART*~SWEET~BITTER~FRESH~SALTY~? {Ibnul-Qayyim (R)}~+
~Imam Ibnul-Qayyim [Rahimahullah] said...
If you would like to draw a conclusion
of what is contained in someone's
Heart ('Qalb') then use as a Proof
the movements of his Tongue !
for surely, he will show you what is
contained in his Heart, regardless of
whether he wants to or not... {!}
Yahya Ibn Mu'adh (Allah be pleased with him)said...
The Hearts are like Pots {!}
They boil with that which they contain
and their Tongues are their Ladles ... {!}
[i.e. scooping spoons]
So look at a man when he speaks... {!}
his Tongue will scoop out for you that which
is contained in his Heart...{!}
whether it is....{?}
Sweet or Bitter... ???
Fresh or Salty ... ???
and other than that...{!}
And the Flavor of his Heart will become
clear to you from that which his Tongue scoops out...{!}
This means that just as you can taste the flavor
of foods being cooked with your tongue and you
realize the true flavor of them...
similarly, you can taste what is in a man's
heart by way of his tongue...{!}
( in the same manner that you can taste what
is in the pot with your tongue...! )

he will be making the other one difficult

The Blessings of Friday {Al- Jumu`ah}
Ibn Kathir reported that Friday is called Al-Jumu`ah
because it is derived from Al-Jam~ literally, 'gathering'.
The people of Islam gather weekly...
on every Friday in the major places of worship.
It was during Friday when ALLAH [SWT]
finished the creation, the sixth day,
during which Allah created the heavens and earth.
During Friday, Allah created Adam,
and he was placed in Paradise, and ironically,
it was a Friday when he was taken out of Paradise.
It will be on a Friday when the Last Hour
will commence.
There is an hour during Friday,
wherein no faithful servant asks
Allah for something good, but Allah
will give him what he asked for.
[All of this is based upon Hadiths in the authentic collections.]
In the ancient language Friday was called, 'Arubah'.
It is a fact that previous nations
were informed about Friday,
but they were led astray from it.
The Jews chose Saturday for their day of worship
and the Christians chose Sunday,
which is the day the creation was initiated.
Allah chose Friday for this 'Ummah',
because it is the day the creation was finished.
It has been authentically reported from the
Prophet (Peace be upon him) that he said...
"Allah diverted those who were before us
from Friday;
for the Jews (the day set aside for prayer)
was Saturday,
and for the Christians it was Sunday.
And Allah turned towards us and guided
Muslims to Friday (as the day of prayer).
In fact, He (Allah) made Friday Saturday and Sunday (as days of prayer).
In this order would they (Jews and Christians)
come after us on the Day of Resurrection.
We are the last among the people in this world and we will be the first among the created beings to be judged on the Day of Resurrection."
(Source~ Narrated by Muslim, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah.)
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) also said:
"The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday;
on it, Adam was created and on it he was sent down (to earth),
on it, his repentance was accepted (by Allah),
on it, he died and on it, the Hour will be established.
And every moving creature is listening on Friday, from the time
it awakes in the morning, until the sun rises, due to fear of the Hour,
except the jinn and mankind, and on this day, there is a time when,
if a Muslim slave prays to Allah and asks Him,
He will give him what he asked for."
(Source~ Narrated (by Malik) in 'Al-Muwatta" and also authenticated by At-Tirmidhi
as stated in Zaad Al-Maad.)
Allah tells us in the 'Quran' about the day of Friday:
'O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Salat (prayer) on Friday (Jumu'ah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allah [Jumu'ah religious talk ('Khutbah')
and 'Salat' (prayer)] and leave off business (and every other thing).
That is better for you if you did but know!"
