My wife Maryann and I want to wish all our India friends a very special Diwali 2022! For our non-India friends, Diwali is India's biggest and most important holiday of the year. (1/2)
As I sit at home this morning doing a little reflecting about our failed exit from Afghanistan that cost 13 brave service members their lives, I think about differently things could have gone, especially had we partnered up with India. (1/4)
For many decades, Pakistan has been the epicenter of terrorism, harboring the most UN designated terrorists in the world within its borders. Besides supporting Jihadi terror groups, Pakistan also leaked sensitive nuclear secrets at least to Iran and North Korea, (1/4)

Similar to the killings and persecution of Christian, Hindu, and Sikh religious minorities taking place in Pakistan even today, and similar to genocide in Bangladesh in 1971 and genocide in Kashmir in 1990, (1/3)
My wife Maryann and I want to wish all our India friends a very Happy Navratri today! To our non-India friends, Navratri is one of the most popular and sacred Hindu festivals celebrated all over the world. (1/2)
It was heartbreaking to watch The Kashmir Files which portrayed the 7th exodus & genocide of the helpless Hindu minority community from Kashmir Valley & I’m shocked to learn that the killings continue even today...

if the Gilgit-Baltistan region was under the control of India, the US troops in Afghanistan could have received supplies directly from India, a friendly democracy, rather than depending on unreliable and double game playing Pakistan. (3/4)
As Col. Ralph Peters pointed out in his Congressional testimony, that I previously shared, an independent Balochistan would have provided the US direct access to Afghanistan for supplying our troops without having to rely on Pakistan who was obviously playing a double game, (2/4)
A friend shared this link about the 1971 state sponsored genocide in Bangladesh. The scale of violence was comparable to the genocide in Rwanda. Shocked to learn that most of the perpetrators haven't been brought to justice yet.

Sorry Gov. Huckabee but you are wrong! Kevin McCarthy had an opportunity to win a House seat in Rhode Island for the first time in decades but refused to support me in 2020 or 2022. Instead he poured 5 million dollars into a two time Gubernatorial loser’s campaign. (1/2)
Tonight’s State of the Union Address was more than disappointing! Mr. Biden unveiled a so-called “Unity Agenda” after ramming a number of things through Congress not caring about Republican ideas or input during his first year in office. (1/3)
the other two sponsors of terrorism and oppression in the world. Pakistan has also been actively involved in sponsoring terrorist activities in India - not just Jihadi terrorism but also Khalistani terrorist activities, which are mostly based outside of India. (2/4)

June 28th is Vidovdan! It’s not only a Christian feast day in Serbia but also its National Day. On this day the Serbian Church remembers its holy martyrs, and the nation, the birth of the Serbian national identity due to the battle of Kosovo in 1389.

In fact, it looks like Pakistan supported Khalistan militants even may be active in Connecticut! A Khalistani terrorist group was responsible for the bombing of Air India Flight 182 on June 23, 1985. It was a Boeing 747 jumbo jet carrying 329 passengers & crew members, (3/4)
To all our India friends here in America, and around the world, my wife Maryann and I want to wish you all a very “Happy Holi”! For our non-India friends, Holi celebrates the arrival of Spring (season) in India, the end of winter, the blossoming of love and for many, (1/2)

Out of control spending, open borders, loss of energy independence, failing schools & inflation are issues he never addressed. Most upsetting to me was his not mentioning the 13 brave service members who needlessly died due to his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan! (2/3)

My wife Maryann and I concur with Prime Minister Modi! India did put in a superlative performance and enters the Final in remarkable style! Fantastic batting and good bowling also did seal the match for the India team. Congratulations to Team India and best wishes in the Final!
