This is the kind of hard data needed in all situations. Facts!
🚨Breaking: Diwali “suppressed” Southlake voters so badly they’re voting at nearly 30% turnout which is #2 in all of DFW, ahead of Collin, Denton, Dallas, and Tarrant counties combined.
Meanwhile cities with zero Indian festivals are at 15–17%.
Propaganda called. Data answered.

🚨India’s Nuclear Deterrent Goes Underwater: 12 Warheads at Sea and Pakistan Goes in Panic
According to SIPRI’s assessment, India has deployed around 12 nuclear warheads on ballistic-missile submarines, adding a survivable sea-based component to its nuclear arsenal. The significance is not simply the number. It is where those weapons are, underwater, mobile and difficult to detect.
For Pakistan, this changes the strategic calculation.
A nuclear-armed submarine is designed primarily to guarantee a second strike. Even if an adversary attempted to destroy nuclear forces on land, a submarine hidden at sea could potentially survive and preserve the ability to retaliate.
Pakistan has openly expressed concern over India’s expanding strategic capabilities, warning about what it describes as a growing strategic imbalance in South Asia.
India is simultaneously developing more sophisticated missile technologies, strengthening its nuclear triad and improving the survivability of its strategic forces. The result is a deterrent that is becoming increasingly difficult to neutralise.
The strategic message from India is therefore less about threatening a first strike and more about making one thing absolutely clear:
A first strike against India cannot guarantee the destruction of India’s nuclear response.
For Pakistan, that creates a new dilemma.
Land-based missiles can be monitored. Aircraft can potentially be targeted. Fixed installations can be mapped.
But a submarine operating silently somewhere beneath the Indian Ocean is a different problem altogether.
And that is why India’s nuclear deterrent going underwater matters far beyond the reported figure of 12 warheads.
Good points. Thanks for clarifying. @AmyMek
***Diwalifest and Voting in the Town Hall***
There was a lot of online discussion yesterday about Diwalifest in the Town Square, specifically regarding some of the parking and roads that were shut down for the festival.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that Diwalifest organizers canceled the fireworks show and opened up parking in response to complaints, some folks still accused the organizers and the city of “voter suppression” due to the fact that it was (slightly) harder to access the polling location from the south.
But was there in fact voter suppression? I pulled the actual numbers from Tarrant County‘s website.
Here are early vote totals through six days of voting for the last decade of major elections in our Town hall. I also included the percentage of Saturday vote totals as compared to the votes cast through six days of early voting.
[Election, Saturday, Sat votes, Cumulative thru Saturday, Sat share]
2026 midterm (in progress), Oct 24, 1444 daily votes, 10196 total, 14.2%
2022 midterm, Oct 29, 1021 daily votes, 6583 total, 15.5%
2018 midterm, Oct 27, 1295 daily votes, 8872 total, 14.6%
2025 special, Oct 25, 490 daily votes, 2829 total, 17.3%
2024 presidential, Oct 26, 1586 daily votes, 11789 total, 13.5%
2020 presidential, Oct 17, 1253 daily votes, 6451 total , 19.4%
2016 presidential, Oct 29, 1418 daily votes, 9057 total, 15.7%
Note: 2020's Saturday was day 5, not day 6, since that year's early voting started on a Tuesday.
As you can see, yesterday‘s share of total early voting is on track with prior years in Town hall and in fact is a higher percentage of votes cast to date than we had in 2024.
I’m not going to speculate on why some folks jumped on this issue and tried to blow it up into a national story. But facts are facts. The polling location never shut its doors, not once, and over 1400 voters still turned out to vote. 
(By the way, I do wonder why certain parties were so intent on turning this into a controversy instead of, oh I don’t know, showing up to the festival and trying to persuade the South Asians in attendance to go inside and vote for their candidates. Just saying.)

🚨MASSIVE: India to Bring a New Satellite Internet Security Layer Through Hardware Monitoring to Track Starlink
India is preparing to add a new layer of security to satellite internet services, with a proposed hardware-based monitoring system that could give authorities greater visibility and control over satellite internet traffic operating within the country.
The move is particularly significant for Starlink, whose satellite network relies heavily on low-Earth-orbit satellites and inter-satellite links to move data across its constellation.
The proposed hardware monitor is intended to become a physical security checkpoint between satellite-internet users and foreign satellite operators. It could potentially be deployed at subscriber equipment or at satellite ground stations, creating an enforceable point through which India's security requirements can be implemented.
The system could help enforce domestic traffic routing, lawful interception, geographic restrictions, geofencing and emergency security directions. In sensitive or prohibited areas, authorities could potentially restrict satellite connectivity.
The underlying concern is simple: India does not want critical communications infrastructure operating over its territory while remaining beyond effective Indian control.
India is therefore moving toward a model in which foreign satellite operators can enter the Indian market, but only after accepting Indian security and sovereignty requirements.
The framework is expected to apply broadly to satellite communications providers, including Starlink and other global operators. However, given Starlink's scale and technological architecture, it naturally becomes the most prominent company affected by the proposed system.

V important to read this investigative report for understanding the social unrest in India.
Fox News (@foxnews) just published a detailed “Who’s Who” of the France protests- mapping the same communist/union network, Breakthrough News, CodePink, and Vijay Prashad’s role, while explicitly linking the unrest to India.
We documented the exact same pattern: how Singham-linked outlets and left student groups amplify as “youth uprisings” from France to India’s streets.

Benson plagiarized Transcendental Meditation in the 1970s from one of Maharishi’s earliest researchers. He replicated studies on TM practitioners and renamed it Relaxation Response. Towards his final years when in his 90s, I interviewed him at Harvard. I have a video of that. He acknowledges his debt to Maharishi - but too late and too little.
1. The study was run out of Harvard Medical School under Dr. Herbert Benson.
For three decades, Benson tracked monks who could lower their metabolism by 64% at will. Hands and feet would reach temperatures low enough to kill most people.
Heart rate dropped near zero.
And then they walked out of the room normally. The Pentagon didn't fund it for spirituality.
They funded it because what the monks
were doing shouldn't have been biologically possible.
2. The mechanism was named Relaxation Response. Benson documented that the monks weren't suppressing stress, they were triggering a specific nervous system state that civilians lose access to by age 30.
In this state, cellular inflammation plummets. Cortisol halves. Immune cells multiply. The body enters its own repair mode without any outside input.
3. What the Pentagon ultimately classified
was this: humans aren't wired for the chronic sympathetic activation of modern life demands.
The nervous system was designed to spend most of its hours in parasympathetic recovery.
We flipped the ratio. The monks were simply running the original factory settings.
4. Modern research has now confirmed what Benson first measured: 94% of adults in industrialized countries have lost the ability to enter deep parasympathetic states on their own.
Not because they can't.
Because they were never taught the specific nervous system switch that triggers it.
5. The woman who feels "wired but tired" at 3 PM isn't broken. The mother who can't fall asleep despite exhaustion isn't failing at rest.
Their systems have forgotten the switch.
The monks didn't have more willpower.
They had the method.
Here's what no one explains: this switch is physical, not mental. You can't think your way into it.
A superficial comparison
Marco Rubio on Pakistan:
In the case of Pakistan, it's a country that we have to have a relationship with. It's a country that possesses nuclear weapons.
It's a country that, from a geographic standpoint, we need to be able to interact with them, in much the same way as the government of India has to have and has a relationship and meets with leaders from Iran.
So these are difficult things to balance, but they have to be as part of our foreign policy.

In his scholarly article, @IbnKhaldunIndic shreds each and every argument of Sharjeel Imam to pieces. He counters each and every idea of his and not once does personalize it. The hallmark of a true intellectual.
Sharjeel, the Secessionist, the anti-Indian, anti-National, the Muslim supremacist, the Hindu hater, is laid thin bare.
Now that supporters of Sharjeel have not been able to write a counter to this article, they instead ask why is the Author using a pen name and coming out with his real identity.
Well, shows how much freedom the dissenters and Non-Conformists within India's 2nd largest community have in Secular Hindu Majority India, that they might as well keep their actual names hidden, lest they face octrazisation from the Leftists and Islamists of India.
I saw even Leftist academic @irfhabib ask who the Author is, in a very condescending manner. Well Mr Habib, days of you being the gatekeeper of the Muslim voice are over, the flood is coming.

1/5 Sharjeel Imam has given an interview detailing his Islamist manifesto. Surprisingly, no storm has been kicked up over pronouncements that are so unapologetically anti-liberal, anti-secular, anti-democracy, anti-Constitution—in a word, anti-national.
2/5 He openly calls the Constitution fascist, labels secularism a trap, and denounces democracy as a contrivance to deny Muslims their political rights.
3/5 The piece is a litany of indictments against the liberal class. Imam rejects any difference between liberals and Hindutvadis. In his essentialist worldview, all Hindus are the same, unanimous in denying Muslims political power they claim as a divine right.
4/5 Inadvertently, Sharjeel has recognised something that liberals have been fighting shy of acknowledging: that Hindutva’s idea of India is anchored in the same “overarching nationalist framework”— that Muslims are Indians above all else.
5/5 For more, read this Opinion article by Ibn Khaldun Bharati, who looks at Islam from an Indian perspective:
Sharjeel Imam’s Islamist manifesto will be forgotten. The silence of liberals will not

Have you noticed the not-so-subtle difference?
This is a Reuters image of protests in France. Most of the western media reportage on French protests focus exclusively and overwhelmingly on brutality, destruction and anarchy of the protestors, portraying them as out of control monsters.
In contrast, most of the visual reportage of protests in India focus exclusively on police action on violent protestors. Rarely would you find images of destruction, though these were widely noted.
This isn't a coincidence. The lens is revealing. The visual imagery creates two narratives. One, protests in West are "evil". Protests in India are "against evil".
