... written on Nov 19 2023As expected, they came, they talked, they condemned, they had nice coffee, they had a photo op, and they went home without any meaningful solution in the Palestinian crisis, which saw the destruction of Gaza Strip thanks to Hamas terrorism on Oct 7 that butchered 1,200 Israelis, which in turn triggered Israel’s fierce military retaliations […]
... written on Nov 13 2023Hamas and Palestinians are two different things altogether. Hamas, the Islamic Resistance Movement, is essentially the Palestinian militant group which has been designated by the U.S. as a terrorist organization in October 1997. While it governed the Gaza Strip, Hamas’ entire existence is “eradication of Israel” and “Jewish people” – meaning to wipe them out of […]
... written on Nov 07 2023In June, Tehran unveiled its so-called “hypersonic” missile which allegedly can hit Israel in 400 seconds. Of course, it was merely propaganda. If Iran indeed possessed such weapon, Israel would have been wiped out today. Its sponsored terrorist arm – Hamas – would not need to slaughter 1,400 Jews people on Oct 7, which triggers […]

... written on Oct 21 2023Afghani, the currency of a pariah nation called Afghanistan, is trading at 77 Afghani to a U.S. dollar. In comparison, Russian Ruble has depreciated to 99 to the greenback. This means the Afghani are more valuable than Ruble. Not bad for the ruling Taliban, who seized power about two years ago after the United States […]
... written on Oct 04 2023Khairy Jamaluddin, supposedly the top brain of UMNO before he was sacked, has finally admitted that the brain drain in Malaysia is a serious problem. It’s both entertaining and flabbergasting that the Oxford educated genius suddenly realizes that a mother is actually female (who can produce offspring). He talked as if the issue of brain […]
