‘South Park' teaser shows Trump groping Satan's leg; episode delayed this week
The makers of South Park aren't backing down, even though Comedy Central won't be airing a new episode this week. Trey Parker and Matt Stone have a reputation for producing episodes that are fast-paced in order to keep up with ongoing events. They've even acknowledged that some of the scenes in the trailers are merely promotional and might not be featured in the finished product.This teaser continues the theme from the Season 27 premiere, which aired on July 27 and also featured scenes targeting Trump. That episode showed a cartoon Trump begging Satan for sex and included a fake public service announcement (PSA) made with deepfake. In the PSA, Trump appeared naked, and the show exaggerated his body features for comedic effect.The PSA ended with a message: "Trump. His p**** is teeny-tiny, but his love for us is large."Behind-the-scenes photos from that PSA were also shared online by the show's official social media account, adding to the buzz.TRUMP'S TEAM FIRES BACK AT 'SOUTH PARK'After the season premiere aired, Trump's team responded strongly. In a statement, his representatives said, "This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.""President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak."CENSORSHIP FIGHT BEHIND THE SCENESAt a recent Comic-Con event, Parker and Stone shared that they had disagreements with Comedy Central about what could be shown on TV — especially regarding the portrayal of Trump's private parts."It's always like, 'So we love the episode,' but that's what happened," Parker said."They're like, 'OK, but we're gonna blur the p****.' And I'm like, 'No, you're not gonna blur the penis' If we put eyes on the penis, we won't blur it. And then that was a whole conversation for about four fucking days. It's a character."advertisementThe South Park Season 27 premiere aired shortly after Parker and Stone signed a new five-year deal with Paramount. The deal includes 50 new episodes and will bring the entire South Park catalogue to Paramount+ for streaming.While there's no new episode this week, the next one is set to air on Wednesday, August 6 on Comedy Central and will stream on Paramount+ the next day.- Ends

Trump is sold on Pak oil. But where's the oil?
The only time oil makes news in Pakistan is because of an increase in already-high fuel prices, like earlier in July, or smuggling from Iran. After selling President Donald Trump a Nobel dream, Pakistan seems to have sold his oil dream. Oil it doesn't have. Otherwise, why would Pakistanis be paying 272 rupees for a litre of petrol?A day after declaring a 25% import duty and penalty on Indian products, Trump seemed to rub it in by announcing that the US had concluded a deal, whereby Islamabad and Washington would work together to develop Pakistan's "massive oil reserve".advertisement"Who knows, maybe they [Pakistan] will be selling oil to India some day," Trump posted on Truth Social. The hoax of the "massive oil reserve" owes its origins to former Pakistan PM, Imran March 2019, Imran Khan announced a "possible massive find" offshore. It was touted as "Asia's largest oil and gas reserve".Hours after Khan's announcement, the Petroleum Division denied it, saying the drill did not yield the desired results, according to a 2024 report in the Karachi-based Dawn report says that ExxonMobil, ENI, Pakistan Petroleum Limited, and Oil & Gas Development Company Limited drilled beyond 5,500 metres but didn't find oil or gas reserves."The drilling work has now been abandoned," an official then told the imaginary, unproven massive offshore find. Pakistan's proven oil reserves are estimated at approximately353.5 million barrels as of 2016, ranking it 52nd on the list of countries with petroleum in the is just 0.021% of the global oil in contrast, which is the world's third-largest crude oil consumer, India, has around 4.9 billion barrels of oil reserves, ranking among the top 25 is approximately 0.29% of the world's total oil Pakistan, at current consumption rate, its reserves would cover less than two years without make matters even more complicated for Pakistan, most of its oil reserves are in Balochistan, the resource-rich province that has risen in rebellion against the Islamabad-Rawalpindi was widespread anger in Pakistan in July when petrol prices were revised upwards by 5.36 Pakistani rupees a litre to 272.15 PKR a litre, reported news agency ANI. Pakistanis asked why the increase in fuel prices while crude prices in global markets had gives two hoots to facts and truths. Massage his ego, and sell him a dream, and Trump is all Trump family has also fallen for Pakistan's cryptocurrency pitch. That's the crypto dream of a country whose economy survives on the begging total goods trade with Pakistan was estimated at $7.3 billion in 2024, according to a Reuters bilateral trade stands at $129 billion, according to US Trade Representative America's need for its lapdog Pakistan is more strategic than for trade, the mention of "massive reserves" of oil in Trump's post only makes one wonder the nature of oil that Islamabad has used for Trump's tel maalish.- EndsTune InMust Watch

India runs a USD 45.7 billion goods trade surplus with the US, making Washington's tariff decision a major risk for exporters. New duties could disrupt billions in two-way trade and force India to adjust its US market strategy. advertisementIN NUMBERS$129.2B — Total India–US goods trade in 2024.$87.4B — US imports from India in 2024 (+4.5% from 2023).$45.7B — US goods trade deficit with India in 2024.35% — Russia's share of India's oil imports in Jan–Jun 2025.44.5% — Share of US diamond imports sourced from India.$13B — US imports of Indian pharmaceuticals in DEPTH The White House's tariff warning comes as part of a broader trade push targeting dozens of countries, with rates on some imports climbing as high as 50%.

The administration is applying new or higher rates on steel, aluminium, autos, copper parts, and more. Canada, Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand, and other nations are also under threat. For India, the stakes are strategic as well as economic. U.S. tariffs could weaken export competitiveness, while a refusal to curb Russian oil purchases could invite further penalties.
