Fun fact: Pakistan is the most inbred nation on Earth, with almost TWO THIRDS of the population married to their cousins:

The Texas House chose to honor the "Arkansas of Asia" (which harbored Osama Bin Laden btw) instead of a notable Texan.

Was honored to stand in memory of patriot, Jill Glover. A disgrace to the Texas House. The Senate attempts to fix all indecency of House actions.

Great article. With the surprise bonus of that picture at the end. 😂

I misspent the prime of my life in Pakistan and Afghanistan, seven years back in the '80s and '90s. Great places to live and travel, if you've got a taste for adventure. I found both Afghans and Pakistanis in general to be nice hospitable folks. They don't always get along among themselves, though, so keep yer head on a swivel and try not to get caught in any crossfires.

Mind you, there IS the whole head-chopping suicide-vest proliferation these days. Those were little in evidence 30 years ago. I guess I'd just point out that 'radical Islam' wasn't really a thing til westerners started stuffing Zionism and 'democracy' down their throats.

Fun fact: After years of lawfare even more specious than that targeting Trump, the rightful Pakistani prime minister, Imran Khan, remains imprisoned, essentially for life, under orders from 'Joe Biden.'
