ISLAMABAD: To overcome Pakistan's ailing economy, Prime Minister Imran Khan is considering mortgaging Islamabad's biggest park to get a loan of around Rs 500 billion.According to a report by Dawn, the proposal to mortgage the F-9 park to get a loan of around Rs 500 billion will be included in the agenda of the next meeting of the federal cabinet, scheduled to be held on Tuesday.The meeting will be held via video conference arranged at the Prime Minister's House and a committee room of the Cabinet Division.The F-9 park, named after Madar-i-Millat Fatima Jinnah. is stretched over 759 acres of land.

It continues to astonish. Left-wingers running major American companies are targeting their own customers in a fascist-style anti-Trump crusade. The objective: to intimidate and silence conservatives. The other day it was Loews hotels. Run by the Democratic/leftist Tisch family, the company ostentatiously announced it would cancel a fundraiser for Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley at its Orlando hotel. This because the Tisches were incensed that Hawley had the nerve to stand on the Senate floor and defend election integrity and the Constitution. Now it is, of all places, Bed Bath & Beyond that has launched an attack on its pro-Trump customers. The company has ostentatiously decided to stop carrying MyPillow products because they have it in for MyPillow founder and quite visible Trump supporter Mike Lindell. And unsurprisingly, cross-match the corporate governing officers of Bed Bath & Beyond with Federal Election Commission (FEC) records and, lo and behold, one finds … yes indeed … a far-left Trump-hater in a senior position at the company.

The so-called Q-drops began appearing on fringe messaging board 4chan in October 2017 and later moved to 8kun, promoting a vast conspiracy theory claiming President Donald Trump is waging a secret war against a global liberal cult of Satan-worshipping paedophiles. There has been speculation about Q's identity and whether one person is really behind thousands of these Q-drops but Mr Roten said it was now clear "two people are behind them". 'Two styles' The 60-year-old asked AFP not to divulge the location of the house, which serves as a meeting
