US Counterterrorism Chief Joe Kent Resigns Over Iran War, Citing Disagreement with Policy

webfact · 6 minutes ago6 min

Joe Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, has resigned from his post in protest over the ongoing conflict with Iran, arguing the country did not pose an immediate threat to the United States. In a resignation letter published on social media, Kent said he could not support the war, claiming it had been driven by external pressure rather than clear national security concerns. “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran,” he wrote, adding that he believed the thr

Which country's passport is most beautiful? And, why?

GammaGlobulin · 3 hours ago3 hr

Dear Folks, I have, for many years, been so envious of the beauty of the British Passport. It is far more lovely than my own. For example: If you could buy one, which one would you buy? Alternatively, out of all countries on Planet Earth, which country has... \The most beautiful passport.... Aesthetically speaking, of course. How much would you pay for one of these, by the way? Best regards, Gamma

Dear Folks, Ever since the Iran War came into full view, and since the time Hagseth, too, began flexing his muscles, in his too-tight-little suit-jackets, I have been wracking my brain trying to recall the image he most evokes, just based on my many decades of living. Then, wouldn’t you know it? Just about 5-minutes ago, it finally hit me. I know, I know, I shouted. Hagseth is the SPITTING IMAGE of the Dandy song, "Follower of Fashion", first sung by the glorious and very incisive KINKS. Thi

I was in Hat Yai on Saturday and I had difficulty filling up my hire car. Queues or just nothing available. Ended up having to purchase Premium 95. Now back in Nakhon Nayok and majority of stations have no diesel today. Those that have diesel are limiting customers to 500 or 600 THB. 95 also very scarce and also rationed. Is this the same everywhere?

Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution

ronnie50 · Monday at 03:42 AM2 days

By and large medical care at Thailand's private hospitals is pretty good. But one thing I've observed through the years of visiting doctors in big private hospitals here is that many/most are not very thorough in asking questions about the patient's medical history. They are often quick to arrive at a current diagnosis, write a prescription, and a return appointment again in 2 weeks. When I say 'not very thorough' - I mean they don't ask you (enough) about your medical past or any other medica

Scientists found that the swing of a person’s arms and legs plays a key role in how others interpret their emotional state, with observers able to detect feelings such as anger, sadness and fear from walking patterns alone. Movement as emotional expression The study suggests that walking — a routine and la

Price of sleeping tablets

CallumWK · yesterday at 06:03 AM1 day

For a long time already I suffer from sleeping disorders, as in I wake up many times a night, and actually never have a solid sleep. I have tried natural sleeping aids like 12mg Melatonin, but they don't have any effect. Sleeping tablets like Diazepam work perfect, and I sleep until the alarm goes off, as intended. I have no side effects from them. I had 8 tablets of them left, which actually were expired for 15 YEARS already, and I have taken them with good results in the last 6 months. So now
