Happy Independence Day!
There’s a story from the end of the Revolutionary War I want to tell as we celebrate America’s 250th Birthday, and it’s one everyone in the world can learn from.
George Washington, at that moment, after commanding the American forces to victory, was the most powerful man in the new country. Many people talked about making him King of America.
Across the ocean, King George was sitting with an American painter, and asked what he thought Washington would do now that the war was ending. The painter said he believed he would go back to his farm.
The King said, “If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world.”
As the war officially ended, Washington came to speak to Congress and said, “Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theater of Action.” He returned his commission they’d given him in 1775 - after more than 8 years of leading the Americans to victory without pay, and he was home at Mount Vernon for Christmas.
Of course, he was elected as our first President a few years later, and after two terms, showed the same selflessness again when he willingly gave up his power and went back to Mount Vernon again.
That’s true greatness. He had all the power in the world. But power, alone, does not make you great.
Washington’s greatness came from being a true servant - to a cause much bigger than himself. His greatness was his complete lack of selfishness.
The whole story of American Independence is a story of selflessness. It’s a story of people who set their self-interest aside and worked for each other.
We’ve all heard the line about “We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”
Apparently, Ben Franklin might have actually never said that.
But that’s fine, because the same mentality is right there in the last line of the Declaration of Independence, published on this day 250 years ago:
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
We mutually pledge to each other.
No one was in this alone. No one was in it for themselves. This was a group of people with different backgrounds who were in it for each other.
Today is a reminder: greatness comes from what we do for each other, never what we do for ourselves.
That’s a lesson that applies no matter what country you call home.
It’s a lesson that doesn’t require any law passed by a politician, because, let’s be honest, if you’re waiting for selfless politicians, I really hope you are not holding your breath.
All of us have the power to be there for the people around us. For our families and friends. For our neighbors. For everyone.
All of us can reach for greatness.
It’s as simple as looking beyond yourself, seeing past the mirror, picking your eyes up from your phone, and pledging to be there for each other.
Happy Fourth. May you all find your own version of greatness today by lifting each other up.
Lift up your neighborhood. Lift up America. Lift up the World.
Your cases might progress, if the Dems win!
My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.
Stolen or appropriated?

Choices we make matter
Akbar’s clerks measured the fields of most of northern India, bigha by bigha, and wrote down what each owed. In 1600, Lahore Subah was assessed almost as high as Delhi. The lands that are now Pakistan held 8 percent of the empire’s people and paid more than 10 percent of its revenue. Under the Raj the pattern held: in 1941 these lands held under 10 percent of the people and paid 11 percent. For three and a half centuries this land raised more per head than the rest of the empire: $39 under Akbar, $53 in 1900 and $126 in 1941, in today’s dollars.
Then we made our choices. Since 1941 our population has grown more than ninefold, against less than fivefold in India’s Mughal lands and about fourfold in Bangladesh’s. Today we hold 18 percent of the old empire’s people and raise less than 12 percent of its revenue. Pakistan now raises $211 a head, while the same Mughal soil across the border raises $390.
Bangladesh made different choices. In 1941 its lands held 12 million more people than ours; today we hold 92 million more. It taxes even less per head than we do, yet one in four of its children is stunted against four in ten of ours, and nearly eight in ten Bangladeshis can read against six in ten Pakistanis. It did not find a bigger purse. It chose fewer children per family, and it sent its daughters to school.
When children multiply faster than the means to raise them, nothing breaks at once. Everything thins: a smaller share of the river, a more crowded classroom, a body that never reaches its full height.
Same rivers, same soil, same inheritance. Geography did not decide our fate, and neither did history. Choices did, and choices can still be made.
Someone teach this guy that a warrior is a state of mind!

THE CEASEFIRE HAS COMMENCED
The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4:00am Moscow time on October 27, 2026.
Timing was accelerated two days ahead of schedule to protect the safety of civilians and to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid. The ceasefire’s geographic area has expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson Region, to provide safe passage for the humanitarian convoys.
General Valery Gerasimov, Joint Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has confirmed.

A sitdown with @Jehad_Zafar at @TheWideSide I continue to explore the untold history of the United States, focusing on the pivotal era following the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

The argument that I made is that the American system was heavily influenced by three 17th-century thinkers, all named John: John Locke (natural rights), John Calvin (theology and decentralization), and John Milton (freedom of expression and resistance against tyranny).
The concept of Liberty is explained as a "refined" or "responsible" version of freedom, governed by rules to prevent chaos.
The structure of the American government, including the creation of the three branches (Legislative, Executive, and Judicial), was designed as a check against both tyranny and the potential excesses of a pure democracy.
The discussion traces the early military struggles, including the Revolutionary War, the surrender of Lord Cornwallis in 1781, and the subsequent transition toward a more centralized government with the writing of the Constitution in 1787.
I note the division between the "Federalist" and "Republican-Democratic" factions, which influenced early foreign (relative to Britain) and economic policies.
Discussed how George Washington's presidency set a precedent for future presidents and drew a historical parallel with the first plebeian secession in the Roman Republic.
The discussion emphasizes that while many view American independence as a singular event, it is framed here as a long, complex journey of establishing true sovereignty, arguing that the real test for the nation began after the formal independence declaration and lasted until the War of 1812.

Migration is an old economic reality!!
The guy has mistaken colonialism for migration.
1. Pakistan has not lost 1.8 million educated professionals.
2. Labour migration is not synonymous with brain drain.
3. Migration is an old economic reality
4. Pakistan must distinguish between losing scarce talent and creating opportunities for its workforce.
Brain drain — or a statistical exaggeration?
KARACHI: Of the 1.87 million Pakistanis reported to have gone abroad for employment during 2024–2026, approximately 1.24 million went to Saudi Arabia.
In 2024, just 6.7 percent of registered emigrants were classified as highly skilled or highly qualified.
Parliamentary reporting identifies 90,406 emigrants in selected professional categories over the three-year period. That is just 4.83 percent of the reported 1.87 million.
Attention: The numbers tell a different story. Pakistan has not lost 1.8 million educated professionals. Most of those who left were not highly educated professionals. Labour migration is not synonymous with brain drain.
Now, look at history: Migration is an old economic reality – every migrant cannot be labelled as a lost brain. Pakistan has been exporting labour for more than half a century. Since 1971, more than 15 million Pakistanis have registered for overseas employment.
In 2015 alone, 946,571 went abroad. In 2022, the number was 832,339. In 2023, it was 862,625. Compare these with 727,381 in 2024 and 762,499 in 2025.
The 2015 figure was 30 percent higher than in 2024 and 24 percent higher than in 2025.
Where, then, is the evidence of an unprecedented exodus? In 2015, only 25,337 emigrants were classified as highly qualified or highly skilled — 2.7 percent of the total. In 2022, the corresponding number was 38,841, or 4.7 percent. In 2023, it rose to 68,447, or 7.9 percent. In 2024, it stood at 49,021, or 6.7 percent.
What do these numbers tell us? Pakistan’s overseas employment story has overwhelmingly been one of labour migration, not exclusively of highly educated professionals abandoning their country. Yes, the proportion of highly skilled emigrants has risen compared with 2015.
That deserves attention. But a rising proportion of skilled workers does not turn 1.87 million emigrants into 1.87 million highly educated professionals.
A construction worker seeking employment in Riyadh is not evidence of brain drain. A driver earning more in Dubai is not necessarily a lost intellectual resource. A technician acquiring international experience may eventually become an asset to Pakistan. But a specialist doctor leaving an understaffed hospital represents a different economic loss.
Pakistan must distinguish between losing scarce talent and creating opportunities for its workforce. A doctor leaving an understaffed hospital is a loss. An unemployed worker finding a job abroad is a gain. Both are migration. But they are not the same thing.
Identify need and then create value
Jordan Belfort finally explained what “Sell me this pen” really tests, and most salespeople fail it in 1 sentence.
The moment they hear the line, they start pitching. The pen is great, it writes upside down, it’s the best value for the money. To Belfort, that’s the clearest sign someone doesn’t understand selling.
The right answer doesn’t mention the pen at all, at least not at first.
A fan in the audience asks Belfort to sell the pen. He jokes that no one has ever asked him that before, then explains what the test is really for: before you pitch anything, you ask questions. How long have you been in the market for a pen? What have you used before? Is it for business or personal? How much do you usually spend?
Pitching without asking, Belfort says, tells the buyer you don’t give a shit about them. You’re just ramming the product down their throat.
The questions also tell Belfort who to walk away from. If someone says they’re not looking for a pen, he says “Great, have a nice day” and moves on. To him, the biggest rookie mistake is trying to sell to everybody.
Only then does Belfort pitch: “Based on what you said to me, this pen is perfect. Let me tell you why.” And the pen, he says, is just a stand-in for any product.
Rookies sell the pen. Pros sell what you just told them.
Be honest: would you have pitched the pen, or asked the first question?
Selling snake oil!
Everyone calls it brain drain.
$42 billion came home.
People leave. Money returns. Skills grow. Networks expand.
The challenge is not to stop migration. The challenge is to turn it into national development.
