Then came the 442nd, a unit of Japanese American soldiers who had been fighting racism at home while serving their country abroad. Against impossible odds, they fought through six brutal days to save men who might not have welcomed them in peacetime. Here’s the story of that rescue, and where to find the Nisei Soldier Experience. General Dahlquist Sent Texans Into a Trap The next day, Major General John Dahlquist ordered the 1st Battalion of the 141st Texas Regiment to advance four miles beyond friendly forces. 

The 275 Texans warned they would get cut off, but Dahlquist ignored his advisors and pushed them forward anyway. Germans let the battalion pass through their lines, then attacked from behind and sealed every escape route. Within hours, 6,000 fresh German troops moved into the area with Hitler’s personal orders to hold at any cost.

Appreciate your neutral take and full breakdown of this. The yelling is shameful, love the accountability tracker…and dead ass they’re all terrible!! Ilhan Omar claims that 2 of her American constituents were killed by ICE. 2 people that by the way were blocking law enforcement.

The sooner Omar, Walz, Tlaib , Harris and all the rest are arrested the better. What the hold up is it’s beyond me. How on Earth do these people get elected to office. Just ask how she accumulated 30 million dollars. 

This woman needs a 30 year vacation to Gitmo. She's despicable. SOME PEOPLE DID SOMETHING!!! Her lips are moving, therefore Ilhan Omar is lying. She fails to address the issue and then deflects with irrelevant lies.

Today's Democrats can no longer hide the fact that they have an agenda that DOES NOT include helping American citizens and their constituents. Let's hope and pray more and more Democrats and liberals will wake up and finally see who those they have supported do not care about them at all. 

Let's hope and pray that they finally see they have been and are still, indeed, useful idiots for the left. That woman is spot on all the way!! Especially regarding Ilhan Omar, whom I cannot stand!!! She’s right up there with Hillary Clinton, Rashida Talib, and AOC! At the SOTU Dems CHOSE to dishonor Americans in order to prioritize 'sending a message' to Trump.

Barbary Pirates

Well done, Ezra. For far too many, this is probably the first they have ever heard of this. The kids will never get this at school. Islam has been given an exceedingly long time to repent and never has. We must bring justice to bear on both Islam and our own corrupt establishments. 

Approximately 17 million slaves were taken to the east, approximately 11 million to the west. The slaves sent to the east have no descendants because they were castrated….historical fact. The word Slave comes from Slavs, who were massively enslaved by the Islamic people. Where are our reparations...500+ years of slavery.

However, 21-year-old S Vikneswaran pleaded not guilty to both charges before judge Harmi Thamri Mohamad and claimed trial. According to the charge sheet, the man allegedly desecrated the Quran to offend Islam at Jalan Gambang, Taman Seri Mahkota, around 1.30pm on Feb 22.

The charge was framed under Section 295 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of two years, a fine, or both. For the second charge, he allegedly used the “ryandaselva” account on Threads to knowingly post offensive communication intended to offend others, which was brought under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, with penalties under Section 233(2) of the same Act.

Under the said law, he faces up to RM500,000 in fine, two years’ imprisonment, or both, and an additional RM5,000 for each day the offence continues. Pahang prosecution director Sharizat Ismail and deputy prosecutor Siti Aisyah Abdul Wahab prosecuted, while lawyers Amirull Afiqq Lokman and Rusnizam Abdullah represented the accused.

Sharizat proposed bail of RM50,000 for both charges, citing the seriousness of the offences and public concern. However, Amirull sought a lower bail, saying the final-year Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah student is financially dependent on his father, a fish farmer earning RM5,000 a month.

He also mentioned that the accused had been referred to a clinic during his school years for psychological issues. The court set bail at RM10,000 for both charges, ordering the student to report to the police monthly, with the case scheduled for mention on April 8.

WhiteLlama4337 : So no mercy for a 21-year old? No compassion? Wow! Anwar Ibrahim, the hero of minorities overseas and the bully in Malaysia. I wonder how this man and his family live their lives?

Open minded 2281 : It is ok to insult Hindus who carrying Kavadi so we need to know what is the official policy on this matter because Vinod has not been charged.

Dr Suresh Kumar : If this Muslim convert had desecrated a temple, he would have been immediately labelled as of unsound mind. Height of glaring hypocrisy of Madani.

apanama is back : If this kind of double standard and selective prosecution is being carried out, do not talk about the rule of law, because it is currently merely the rule of a man.

They’re going to have to take to social media and cry ‘Oh no, Iranians might die’, despite having said nothing when Iranians did die in their thousands at the hands of the theocratic tyrants who rule over them. 

They’re going to be forced, by events, to make a spectacle of their own depthless hypocrisy, to expose to the world the cant and outright inhumanity that too often fuels what passes for ‘anti-imperialism’ these days. Read it all here....

Thank you, President Trump.

Nobody ever accused Donald Trump of racism until he became a threat to the communist movement in America. MSM will NEVER show this. He’s never been racist. Before he ran for President everyone loved him he appeared in many movies and shows and nobody ever accused him of racism. Donald Trump was never a Racist! I am from New York and growing up as a teenager in Bedfor Styversen remember everyone wanted to be Trump!

Been saying it. Air superiority yesterday. Seas today. Surrender coming soon. That whole area has been sick of Iran's shit for years. Operation "You Sank My Battle Ships" is a Huge Success! So... they got ignored, staged an attack on their own boat to make a threat, and threw a fit when they had to find out. 

The U.S. Military has proven time and again they are the most dangerous when allowed to actually fight. Not as a mob in the street swinging wildly, randomly, nor relying on brute force but more like a skilled surgeon striking decisively and cutting the cancer out directly, efficiently. 

China and Russia have been shitting their pants since Maduro, imagine how they feel after they sold Iran their "Most Capable" equipment and technology only to realize how absolutely worthless and ineffective it truly is as both U.S. and Israel struck in broad daylight and they launched countless missiles against everyone nearby because they only know how to kill and terrorize innocents, not how to fight a war.

A father figure to his players, Joseph De Silva delivers a team talk, guiding and shaping young talents who would go on to represent Malaysia. (Philip Andrew pic)

KLANG: At the launch of the National Junior Hockey League in 1995, a senior Malaysian Hockey Federation official publicly said some teams were making a mockery of the tournament by fielding 14-year-olds.

He was referring to the Old Lasallians Association of Klang (Olak). Olak manager Joseph De Silva heard the remark as criticism. He chose to see something else, proof he was doing something different, and ahead of its time.

Among those boys were Amin Rahim, Roslan Jamaluddin, Madzli Ikmar, Redzuan Ponirin and Saiful Azhar — names that would go on to shape Malaysian hockey.

The boys finished mid-table that first season. They grew into national players and coaches, turning what looked like a risk into a clear and lasting vision. That dream fashioned De Silva’s life.

He died on Saturday at 71 after an illness that led to the amputation of his right leg, leaving a legacy built on personal sacrifice and belief in players others overlooked.

A club built on belief, not means

When Olak formed in 1995, it lacked the advantages that often mould success. There was no strong funding base, no formal pathway, no system to lean on. What it had was De Silva’s drive.

A property agent by profession, he followed his father, L Andrew De Silva, whom his brother Philip described as Klang’s first property agent. Hockey, however, became his life’s work. De Silva identified schoolboys with promise, many younger than their peers, and pushed them into higher competition early.

– Former Klang MP Charles Santiago

COMMENT | Political analysts Wong Chin Huat and James Chin are two capable hands when it comes to Malaysia watching. However, the former’s latest piece is sticking in my craw for some reason.

Perhaps it is the description of Madani as a centrist coalition when it is not. Or maybe it is because of the description of the opposition, meaning Perikatan Nasional or whatever it consists of, as playing up racial and religious issues because it is bankrupt of issues, which it is, as the destabilising force of political stability of Madani.

Here is the thing: Madani is not a centrist; it is a right-wing coalition made up of a few centrists leaning political operatives who offer no real opposition to hegemonic policies predicated on race and religion.

Just Common Sense : "not a theocratic state where you can impose Islamic laws on everybody, including non-Muslims" But islamic laws are already imposed on non-muslims including blasphemy laws while muslims are allowed to freely denigrate other religions. 

Anwar in the end is just another islamist and islamists have only one objective which is to impose islam on everyone. He is very buddy-buddy with the iran clerics but kept quiet when they were killing peaceful protestors because to criticise them would make islam look bad.

Outlier : Voting BN is better than voting PH. At least you know what you are getting…a racist party supported by two NM compliant lackeys. 

There’s honesty in this at least Many voted for PH on the promises of reform, clean governance and religious and racial moderation. We got none of these. 

It is clear now that what we voted for was a rebadged BN, but with all the dishonesty, deceit, lies, back pedalling, an UMNO + PAS religious imposition, all camouflaged and marketed as a better option than the previous lot

Naming a successor is now a death sentence. Starmer will be waving his white flag in support..coward.

After months of brutal repression from the Islamic regime, many Iranians view the strikes as an opportunity for regime change and freedom from 47 years of authoritarian rule. GB News speaks to anti-regime protesters in London where Iranians express relief at the strikes targeting the military infrastructure of the government they despise, while remaining fearful of the regime's violent crackdown on dissent.

From petty politicians to ministers, and from bootlickers to sycophants, the theory was crafted to absolve Najib of culpability.

Yet, instead of resolution, it unravelled into a maze of twists, with the machinery of government enlisted to stage what became the nation’s most audacious hoax.

Providing theories and analytics to these characters were spin doctors and strategic consultants whose primary concern was ensuring Najib and the BN government retained power, and for the whiff of the 1MDB scandal to go away.

More than 200,000 Iranians live in California, many of whom fled the regime that ruled there for 47 years. L.A. is home to the largest Iranian population outside of Iran. "We all want to say thank you to President Trump," said Saghar Fanisalek, owner and chef of Taste of Tehran in L.A. "This is the only person who supports us in the last 50 years. 

Every single person in Iran knew that the only way that this regime was going to go away is to attack them." Mohamed Ghafarian of Shater Abbass Bakery & Market, left Iran more than 50 years ago and told CBS News that he expects regime change and is hopeful about it. "United States and Israel; they are there to change the regime," said George Geoula, owner of Stansbury Dry Cleaners.

He was a player who could see danger before it arrived, the mind that shaped a game without ever demanding the spotlight. Rama’s death marks more than the passing of a player; it closes a chapter in Malaysia’s sporting history, a reminder that brilliance is not always loud, and that the most decisive interventions often come unseen.

He was not a spectacle, he was a strategist; not a voice, but a conscience. And in that quiet genius, he became something far larger than himself. The youngest member — the “baby” — of the celebrated 1975 World Cup team, died at 72 after a heart attack yesterday.

The blow was compounded within hours: Joseph De Silva, founder and coach of the Old La Sallians Association of Klang (OLAK) hockey team, and 1970s Negeri Sembilan star See Mun Peng also passed away. Three lives, bound to the game in different ways, gone on the same day, leaving a community drawn even closer in grief. For Malaysian hockey, it is a loss that cuts deep, echoing the silence of a generation that once lifted Malaysia’s hockey.

The thinking player 

Rama played as a right-half, but the position only partly explains him. His real strength lay in reading the game before it unfolded, sensing danger early and closing off options before they could take shape. Former coach R Yogeswaran described him as a player always one step ahead, not through pace or power, but through anticipation.

“He had a sense of impending danger,” Yogeswaran said. “Rama did not chase the ball; he removed its options. He read patterns early and forced opponents into mistakes.” Where others reacted, Rama anticipated; where others tackled, he intercepted; where others imposed themselves, he dismantled plans.

In doing so, he became a crucial part of a Malaysian team that, in 1975, came within reach of a world title on home soil.

The day he stopped India 

If his career can be distilled into a single performance, it is the World Cup semi-final against India at Merdeka Stadium on March 13, 1975 — a match that revealed both his discipline and understanding of the game. India’s strength lay in a fluid triangular system built around centre-half Ajit Pal Singh, right-inside Ashok Kumar and left-inside BP Govinda.

Ajit Pal orchestrated play through a staggering volume of passes. Malaysia’s response was simple: disrupt the source. Rama was given a free role and a single instruction — cut off Ajit Pal and deny him control.

What followed was controlled suffocation. Rama stayed tight, read movement, anticipated passing lanes, and denied Ajit Pal the time and space that defined his influence.

Yogeswaran later described it as “total stalking,” an effort that forced India out of rhythm and broke the continuity that made their attack dangerous. Without that flow, the famed triangle faltered. Years later, Ajit Pal called the Malaysia match India’s toughest of the tournament, an acknowledgment of Rama’s quiet dominance.

Rama himself reduced it to a single line: “I was told not to let him play. So I didn’t let him play.” ramakrishnan

The ‘baby’ of 1975 

At 21, Rama was the youngest member of the 1975 squad, yet his role was anything but peripheral. He played every match of the tournament, shouldering responsibilities that demanded maturity and composure. His journey began in Teluk Intan, where he picked up hockey at St Anthony’s school. The son of a driver and one of six siblings, he progressed through school and state ranks, guided by hometown Olympian A Francis, whose sessions he joined as a teenager.

By 19, the then research assistant with the rubber research institute, was in the national set-up, representing Malaysia at the 1972 Munich Olympics. He went on to play in three World Cups — 1973, 1975 and 1978 — and in the 1976 Montreal Olympics. In Buenos Aires in 1978, he captained Malaysia, completing a swift rise from youngster to leader.

That rise was not without doubt. In the opening match of the 1975 World Cup against New Zealand, Rama missed a penalty stroke, an error that weighed on him until senior teammates steadied him. It was a reminder of both his vulnerability and the collective strength of the team.

Beyond one match 

To define Rama solely by that semi-final is to overlook the breadth of his contribution. He was a constant presence in midfield, capable of adapting to different roles, including the demanding task of man-marking some of the world’s best playmakers.

Before facing Ajit Pal, he had already taken on Pakistan’s Akhtar Rasool and the Netherlands’ Ties Kruize, experiences that sharpened his awareness and discipline. By the semi-final, he had been tested against elite opposition and developed the composure required for such a specialised role.

He was not a player who drew attention to himself, and for that reason his influence was not always immediately recognised. Within the team, however, his value was clear. He provided structure, balance, and clarity, allowing others to express themselves, and in doing so became one of the pillars of that generation. 

The man they love. 

If his career speaks to his intelligence, the tributes following his passing speak to his character. Former national captain Ow Soon Kooi remembered “a perfect gentleman, soft-spoken, humble and very private, and one of the most brilliant and skilful players ever to don the national colours,” adding, “I will miss him dearly. Rest in peace, my brother.”

1975 World Cup captain N Sri Shanmuganathan recalled a player who “played above expectations and became a key member of the team, whose positioning was beyond imagination, seeing moves before they unfolded and ending them before they began.

“This news has sent shockwaves through the team, and we shall miss him deeply.”

Franco D’Cruz, who shared that era, remembered “years of sweat, sacrifice and the honour of representing our country together,” describing Rama as “a constant source of light and humour, always softly spoken and supportive.” He added that while the sport has lost a champion, “we have lost a true friend who will always be remembered with affection.”

The closing circle 

After retiring from international hockey, Rama remained connected to the game while building a career beyond it. He worked as a health inspector, contributed to coaching, and later qualified in law in the UK before returning as a legal adviser and company secretary.

He retired a decade ago but remained close to former teammates, attending reunions and commemorations, including last year’s 50th anniversary of the 1975 World Cup. Time has been steadily gathering that team. With each loss, the memory of that era has grown more precious and more fragile.

Rama’s passing feels part of that same long goodbye as the generation that once lifted a nation recedes into history. He did not play for applause, and he did not build his reputation on spectacle. His game was rooted in understanding, knowing where to stand, when to move, and how to shape what others could not see. 

He grew into a player who understood the game before it unfolded and gave it shape without demanding attention. That was his gift, and his place in Malaysia’s finest hockey chapter endures because of it.

Postal votes are even more liable to coercion and fraud. The polling station staff who allowed this should be prosecuted. Sounds like electoral fraud. This ballot should be made void, and a new vote called with the correct supervision.

Decapitation Strike

Now is the time for all good Persians to come to the aid of their country. This should have happened decades ago. It’s about damn time. Iran was offered the carrot - give up nuclear ambition in exchange for peace. They refused. Now they are getting the stick. May the rest of the world take note. Fcuk Around Find Out! Now this my friends is the definition of a special military operation.

Only this week more than 22 Ethiopian orthodox Christians were horribly executed and killed by extremist Islamist still no one said anything about it# pls voice for the voiceless this innocent souls. Raymond, thanks so much for pointing all these things out. 

The next time one of my friends or family members tries to tell me that I'm a bigot for trying to point out that Islam is unlike other religions I will cite this video. I recently posted a video about Saladin thinking he was unstoppable until King Richard the Lionheart burst on the scene. 

Got a lot of support but the comment section was littered with jihadies from one saying threatening me calling me an inferior race to others denying the sources I stated all my sources where from Mr Ibrahim’s book defenders of the west.

Iran is like the practice stage of a War video game. This really worries me. Sending prayers for our troops. I knew once the Gerald R Ford had cleared the Suez canal it would be go time. Unfortunately nothing, but a ground invasion would topple the Government of Iran. 

They built those sites back that were destroyed last June quicker than a ant bed. This interesting with Afghanistan and Pakistan declaring war against each other. I once heard they have small cells embeded all across the U.S. Ready to activate but only as a last measure.

Dr. Augustinos Samaan, 37, is a Coptic researcher arrested by masked special-forces officers on Oct. 1, 2025, for “derision of Islam” under Egypt’s “contempt of religion” laws. Samaan holds a Ph.D. in comparative religion and is engaged in Christian apologetics.

Through scholarly work and online educational content, Samaan peacefully discussed religious issues and responded to anti-Christian sentiment. These are all activities protected under international human rights law. Yet on January 3, Samaan was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment with hard labor. He was also assaulted by other detainees. 

The Organization Coptic Solidarity (CS) is campaigning for Dr. Samaan's release.

During his detention, the officers confiscated his laptop, phone, books, and personal papers. Following national security investigations — an ordeal that reportedly included torture — he was initially charged with terrorism-related offenses. Prosecutors eventually amended the case to “contempt of religion” under Article 98(f) of the Penal Code.

The sentence was issued in a secret criminal trial without notification to his legal counsel or family, without public proceedings, and without granting the defense access to the case file or a meaningful opportunity to represent him.

Dr. Samaan was twice taken before the court without the knowledge of his lawyers or family, culminating in a secret conviction. On Jan. 6, 2026, his family and legal team expected a detention-renewal hearing. Instead, upon arriving at court, they learned that the case had already been tried and decided in their absence. Court officials later confirmed that the case was heard on Dec. 27, 2025. It was further adjourned and adjudicated on Jan. 3, 2026 — without notice to the defense and without public scrutiny.   

To date, Dr. Samaan’s lawyers have not received access to the case file, undermining the most basic elements of due process and the right to defense. 

“This is not a legitimate judicial proceeding—it is punishment by procedure,” Coptic Solidarity noted. “Secret trials and denial of defense rights place Egypt in clear violation of its constitutional and international commitments.”

"There is also growing concern for Dr. Samaan’s physical and mental well-being, following reports of torture and mistreatment in detention. The Egyptian government bears full responsibility to ensure his safety, humane treatment, and access to necessary medical care, in accordance with its domestic and international obligations."

The latest hearing took place on February 23. An Egyptian Misdemeanor Appeals Court upheld the five-year prison sentence with hard labor against Dr. Samaan, according to a statement by his legal counsel, Saeed Fayez.

Sheltering the Taliban during the U.S. intervention didn’t turn out to be such a good idea, eh Pakistan? I hope both teams have fun. …sorry for to the normal not-fanatic civilians who will be caught in the crossfire. Never thought I'd hear the Taliban being referred to as "puppet of India" but here we are. Pakistan calling another country "puppet" is truly taking irony to supernova level. India please pass around the popcorn.

The labour party will just carry on with their self serving hypocritical deceit. They have proved time and time again they don't care about us British citizens. What them left dont understand is, they are useing the foreigners to get power. But the foreigners are using them. 

And once they get the power, they are buggered without lubricants. The Green Party is just a cover for the Muslim Brotherhood. Labour thought they had the 'Immigrant vote'. They never thought the immigrants would take over a fringe party and make it a 'Coloniser Party'. 

Every native will miss the party that wanted trees and animals to be protected, when that party is pushing reparations and sharia law. The time to make holding public office require being born in this Country has passed.

Most Malaysians are not merely annoyed by online chatter or political theatrics. They are angry because real systemic failures affect their daily lives, and more often than not, many government officials respond with dismissive phrases rather than meaningful action.

Perhaps the reason there appear to be so few angry voices is not that the majority are content, but because they are afraid to speak out.

GrayParrot9290 : Pmx has proven to be a weak leader - rationalisation of issue, illogical decision making and simply refuse to read what is happening and critical for our country development. 

Impartial and not racist very fine line with all his actions and words, All said, Rakyat will judge him and likely kick him out in GE16 !

Fair Player : PMX is surrounded by YES men who are clinging on to their high profile positions which come with all luxuries perks. He cannot see outside of these YES men who are surrounding him. We, the voters will show him the power of "angry few" in GE16

MalayaPhD : It is already way too obvious that PMx and his line of cabinet comprising of questionable individuals are not suited to govern a multiracial country. 

They have proven time and again that they can’t be impartial, applying the law evenly, in governing the country. When we have a premier who is not blinded by 2/3R in his appointments and when there is a check and balance where all races are well represented in the cabinet, then and only then will Malaysia be on the road to recovery. 

It has suffered and continues to suffer in the hands of the unscrupulous for way too long to a point where the elites and those in power know that they can commit a crime with impunity.

Robbie98 : Yes , you are right . The support for Madani is hanging by a small tenuous thread and might vanish by GE 16 . Increasingly you hear the view why not someone else , what is there to loose !?. The position of Madani is our safest choice does not hold water

Steven Ong : It seem that Anwar and his loyal supporters like DAP can not understand the facts that Malaysians are complainng or doesn't care as he thinks that he is invincible as the voters has no choice other than him and loyal followers or that he thinks voters are all stupid or fearful of change. 

History of Malaysia had shown us that the voters are easily deceived and convinced by promisses or lies. They kept voting BN again and again until a dumb PM made a mistake and PH came in as the new government. But after two years , the incompetencies, corruption, abuses and discrimination remain the same . 

Why are these politicians still behaving wicked , corrupt and discriminative ? There must be a reason as man are shaped by what is fed into them and the belief that they are praising and following what is considered the best on earth. But the actual facts and destruction are always there in the news around the world. 

The west are awakening and fighting back but maybe too late now. And Malaysia is falling step by step into that trap , as this article by a reasoning person is showing us all.

Zaheed : Now we know why many learned people kept warning Malaysians that this guy was a useless leader. He plays to the gallery. He does not know what is good for the country. 

He does nothing about radicals who are tearing down a multiracial Malaysia which in itself brings bad image to the country. Such a disgrace.
