Trump Lawyer Jenna Ellis Mocked For Calling Simone Biles, Megan Rapinoe ‘Lo…
Ellis was apparently miffed at two of President Joe Biden’s choices to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Thursday: Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and World Cup-winning soccer star Megan Rapinoe. However, in her breathless effort to score culture war points, Ellis made a serious factual error by referring to Biles and Rapinoe as “losers.”Twitter users quickly noted that Biles and Rapinoe each have a boatload of achievements while Ellis has a series of election suit losses, not to mention accusations of ethics violations. Oh, and many couldn’t help but bring up Ellis’ unfortunate experience of being next to Rudy Giuliani during his infamous court fart. But one tweet may have summed up the reaction to Ellis’ attack on Biles and Rapinoe. This article originally appeared on HuffPost and has been updated.

Letting our heroes be
It is needless to state that the country is experiencing the worst ever economic and political crisis owing to the shenanigans of our rulers. No serious effort was made to reform the political system that triggered political upheavals and history continues to repeat itself. However, nothing compares to the political instability and the resultant economic melt-down that has gripped the country since the 2013 general elections. Elections are not the solution to the permeating political instability and the economic crisis. The political parties have to adopt a realistic discourse and stop fooling the public with false promises and things that are not doable.

Jammu and Kashmir under siege
Nowhere has the state oppression against religious minorities seen greater belligerence than in the Muslim-majority Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK). Fearing strong public resistance against such draconian measures, the state authorities have imposed a military siege to clamp down on dissent. Since August 2019, Indian state forces have carried out extrajudicial executions with brazen impunity, targeting civilians, journalists, academics and students. The consistent use of pellet guns by Indian security forces to disperse crowds raised serious alarm among rights activists and humanitarian agencies. Kashmiri women are vulnerable to gender-based violence and rapidly increasing instances of rape by security forces.

Pakistan’s economic woes since 2008
The story is a classic parallel of Pakistan’s economic woes since 2008. Skipping details of the causes of infamously recurring balance of payments crisis, the subsequent economic (mis)managers have overlooked the perennial “cancerous” issues plaguing the economy. Real statesmen – even when not in power – wouldn’t detach themselves from the economic reality. At each economic dip – 2008, 2013, 2018 and 2022 – our situation has worsened.

He claimed that Farah got an industrial plot spanning 10 acres valued at Rs600 million registered to her name by paying Rs83 million. “Imran Khan, can this corruption be against your will?” he questioned. A red warrant allows the government to request International Criminal Police Organisation’s (Interpol) help in arresting and repatriating individuals living in another country.

Peace talks with the TTP
If Pakistan prefers military operation over dialogue, the TTP fighters will infiltrate Afghanistan into their covers and carry out unrestrained cross-border attacks against the country. Second, TTP enjoys massive support from the Afghan Taliban owing to close ideological affiliations. So, Pakistan should never expect the Afghan Taliban to support it against the TTP in the event of a military operation against the terrorist organisation. The country can not afford a massive military operation that incurs an enormous cost to the national exchequer. In sum, the ground realities point to the fact that another military operation against the TTP is expected to do more harm than bear any fruitful result.
