Each apparent victory for the enemies of freedom, no matter how temporary, reminds us of the difficult task ahead. For instance, after news broke on Thursday that former Republican Rep. of Florida had withdrawn his name from consideration as President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general, Trump supporters had good reason to feel dejected and outraged at the establishment politicians in the Senate who resisted Gaetz’s nomination in the first place. Thus, in the wake of Gaetz’s withdrawal, and in case you missed it over the weekend, UFC world heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones’s post-fight gesture toward Trump at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Saturday should serve as a salutary reminder that, in the grand scheme of things, political and cultural momentum remain with the president-elect. After defending his title, Jones left the ring — known as “The Octagon” — and presented his championship belt to Trump. Readers may watch that incredible moment in the clip below. Note, too, that Jones and did not merely shake hands like business associates. Instead, the president-elect grasped the champion’s hand and pulled it to his own heart, signifying deep affection. Jon Jones hands his UFC heavyweight championship belt to President Trump — Historic Vids (@historyinmemes) To anyone who watched the entire scene unfold, Jones’s respect for Trump could not have come as a surprise. After all, moments after winning the fight, Jones performed Trump’s trademark “YMCA” dance. Podcasting megastar and UFC announcer , who endorsed Trump shortly before the election, loved it. “Ahhhh, he did the Trump dance! Spinning back-kick to the body, followed by the Trump dance,” Rogan said. Jon Jones just won his UFC fight and did the Trump dance. — Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) Jones, of course, joined a of who have punctuated big plays by imitating the . Moreover, in case readers did not already admire the UFC champ, Jones’s post-fight interview should add to his legend. “While everybody’s cheering and so happy,” Jones told Rogan “I want to acknowledge Jesus Christ.” Then, after acknowledging that he owed his talents to Jesus, the fighter gave fans an important message. “And I know that there’s millions of people around the world watching right now. And I just want to let you guys know that Jesus loves you so much,” Jones added. God bless Jon Jones. “While everybody’s cheering and so happy, I want to acknowledge Jesus Christ.” — George (@BehizyTweets) Imagine: Millions of people watched a champion fighter honor the president-elect and then praise .

We need a leader of that stature By His grace, the Almighty bestowed us a beautiful and powerful country full of potential and with the vision to lead not only ourselves but the whole Muslim Ummah. But unfortunately we are losing our destiny by our negligence and the misbehaving of some of our institutions and there is absolutely nobody to stop them as we all are feeling helpless and hopeless. When Pakistan was in the making there were so many leaders and ulema who were discouraging, and opposing the rationale of Pakistan. However, the great leader, the Quaid-e-Azam, was very much clear in his mind to the follow the two-nation theory. The Quaid Azam made it possible which had seemed to be impossible, and the whole world recognised Pakistan including our diehard enemies and conspirators. Pakistan has everything and every right to grow and develop as an advanced country, but can’t move ahead due to some internal conspiracies of our esteemed institutions and some visible and invisible external friends who desire Pakistan to remain as a poor and dependent country. These countries claimed to be very sincere and are shown like brothers, but they included those who are continuously busy in hatching many killing conspiracies and carrying out diplomacy to ensure our failure. At the same time these countries grant some financial assistance to Pakistan so that they can’t be recognised and their real face couldn’t be disclosed. These countries used our political and departmental leaderships to destroy our way of prosperity by accepting and gaining some personal gifts and invisible benefits so our these leaders understood that they are doing a wonderful job for Pakistan. And this is not happening the first time, it happened so many times and every time Pakistan pulled back to 50 years, however our leaders including officers became billionaires and they left the country and settled in Europe after retirement, as did political leadership. At the same time Pakistan suffered a big financial and political crises or even collapse. The whole system of Pakistan, including the Supreme Court and High Courts and poor public, has to face unbearable price hike, inflation, joblessness, indiscipline, lawlessness, currency consistently devaluing and everywhere frustrations and disappointment. Hundreds of thousands of young boys migrated to Europe and other countries but neither political nor departmental officers (the establishment) had any regrets or felt the defeat of Pakistan. Rather all look busy for another similar episode as it is being repeated so many times and every time Pakistan loses and they, foreign friends and our leaders win to be billionaires. Interestingly, nobody is there to think about a poor man or the public. Pakistan lost many heroes and leaders for this and ready for next time, only faces may change but script and story is the same even the result is also the same and this friendly conspiracy of our foreign friends used to happen in so many other countries like Iraq, Egypt, Sudan and so on Now we are seeking a new Quaid-e-Azam for Pakistan to desire for visionary and principled leadership similar to that of the founder of the nation. The Quaid-e-Azam’s leadership was defined by his steadfast commitment to democracy, rule of law, and the betterment of all citizens, regardless of faith or background. We are in need of such leadership today and Pakistan would benefit from a leader who is transparent, stands against corruption, and builds trust through honest governance. A leader who works to bridge divisions, foster national unity, and create a society where diversity is respected. A forward-thinking leader who focuses on education, economic development, and technological advancement, and upholding the rule of law and reinforcing an independent judiciary to protect democracy and citizens’ rights. The challenge lies in finding or cultivating such a leader within the current political, social, and economic landscape. This requires civic engagement, reforms, and fostering a culture that rewards merit, innovation, and ethical conduct and an independent foreign policy and diplomacy of other friendly countries not to interfere in our internal matters, politics and specially in our establishments. The leader who identifies who is loyal to Pakistan and who is not loyal and at the same time makes laws to control our officers who joined hands with other countries and received highly valuable gifts and invisible benefits from these countries to destroy Pakistan. Although it seems impossible, I as a citizen of Pakistan am seeking and searching for the Quaid-e-Azam who can do it. Searching for the Quaid-e-Azam is a question of one billion dollars. Perhaps that leader is already present in Pakistan or he is behind the bar or we, everybody, is a successor of Quaid-e-Azam, just to realize ourselves by following Allama Iqbal’s ...” Khudi ko kar Buland itna “ To become a new Quaid-e-Azam for Pakistan to save it from all foreign and internal conspiracies and aggression by putting Pakistan on its real path of progress and prosperity.

Failing Joe Biden has brutally exposed the limits of American power and left the world in chaos. It's time for 'Trumpian realism' - and the return of diplomacy to Washington Game Changer: Trump Card - Erdogan &Turkey by Erbil Gunasti is available here By ERBIL GUNASTI Published: 17:25 EST, 2 December 2024 | Updated: 18:16 EST, 2 December 2024 e-mail View comments According to Secretary of State Antony Blinken , America is in a ‘much stronger geopolitical position today than it was four years ago’. Few outside Biden’s increasingly bizarre bubble will agree with that thought– or could possibly agree because this claim is, to use a technical term, a truck-load of tosh. Ever since he arrived in the Oval Office in January 2017, Biden and his advisers have assumed with the neocons that America is ruler of the world and that its president is king - which defies all logic, of course. From Afghanistan to Gaza , the Donbas to Damascus, the certainties that held the post-war world together are fast unraveling. And with Biden in the White House , the limits of American power have been brutally exposed. That’s why, for all the many contradictions about what his true position might be when he takes office in January, I’m confident that Donald Trump will change things for the better. According to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, America is in a ‘much stronger geopolitical position today than it was four years ago’ A car burns after an airstrike next to a hospital in Idlib, Syria. A push by Islamist rebels has brought fresh chaos to the region Whatever he says about ‘America First’ (and which president is not America First) the bigger point is this: Trumps knows there are limits to US power. Aside from Biden and Blinken, does anyone honestly believes that Washington can fight Putin, defend Taiwan, protect Europe, restrain China and settle the Middle East all at the same time? Trump understands that America must pick its battles wisely. Merely by accepting the harsh realities of power, he is ahead. There is more to Trump than that, of course. Like the predecessors he so much admires, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, he knows there is a place for personal diplomacy - threats if necessary. Last week, Trump raised the specter of an all-out trade war with the BRICS grouping of middle ranking powers – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – should they dare to establish an alternative global currency and threaten the primacy of the Dollar. Is he serious? Who knows – that’s part of the point. But the intervention acknowledges another key reality: the world has changed. The rise of China with its multi-billion dollar trade and investment programs means other nations no longer feel obliged to do whatever Washington says. Former ‘client states’ are restive, all too aware that past US promises of prosperity came to nothing. There will be no let-up in Iranian aggression so long as India and China buy Russian and Iranian oil – in the teeth of US sanctions. There is little America and Europe can do about Russia so long as China and the ‘global south’ refuse to condemn Putin’s bloodshed. It might seem a statement of the obvious but after the last four years, it needs saying: diplomacy matters. Whatever we think about Russia's Putin and Xi of China, it is surely better to meet them face-to-face and attempt to build some rapport, as Trump did last time he was in office. He had warm relations with India’s President Narendra Modi, too. It has even been suggested that his advisers at Mar-a-Lago have opened back-channel negotiations with the Iranians. Turkey is another power worth throwing into the mix – is already in the mix, in fact. While other currencies suffer under the threat of US trade sanctions, readers of the financial pages might have noticed that the Turkish Lira is gaining ground. That’s because Trump admires Recep Tayyip Erdogan, president of Turkey. It’s understood the two men have already held discussions via intermediaries – and about time. Under the Biden regime, Turkey, a key player in its region and a huge manufacturer of drones and other weaponry, has been allowed to grow closer to Russia. Given the sensitivity of Turkey's location between Europe, Russia and the Middle East, and bearing in mind its vast network of oil and pipelines, this counts as a mistake. The last few days have seen a fresh outbreak of Islamist inspired fighting in Syria – more sparks flying in a tinder-dry region. Yet there will be no peace deal without Turkey, which already controls much of northern Syria, including a 30-mile buffer zone on its border. It is likely that Turkey will have much to say about the future of Israel, as one of the few powers capable of bridging the gulf between Jerusalem and Gaza. Whatever we think about Russia's Putin and Xi of China, it is surely better to meet them face-to-face and attempt to build some rapport, as Trump did last time he was in office President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey has a good relationship with Donald Trump - and the Turkish Lira has strengthened since Trump's re-election How to re-establish influence in Africa, a continent fast spinning out of control thanks in part to Russian meddling? How to persuade the BRICS nations to take a more positive view of the West? Or to address the world migration crisis and much else besides? America needs help with all these things – from Turkey, from India, Mexico, China, Canada, Venezuela and the EU. It will have to learn to give a little in return and maybe even take a risk or two. There will certainly be losers – I would hate to be Ukrainian right now. But the alternative is pretending with Anthony Blinken and Pangloss that all has been for the best in the best of all possible worlds. And that the past four years have been a roaring success. They haven’t. It’s time to bring this fantasy to an end.
