Killing of Senior Iranian Figure Ali Larijani Intensifies Leadership Turmoil

webfact · 1 hour ago1 hr

The death of senior Iranian official Ali Larijani in an Israeli airstrike has deepened uncertainty within Iran’s leadership, removing a key strategist at a pivotal moment for the country. Larijani, who served as secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, played a central role in shaping decisions on defence, diplomacy and national security. Though not a military commander, he was widely regarded as one of the Islamic Republic’s most influential policymakers, particularly in managing

Federal Judge Blocks Arkansas Law Requiring Ten Commandments in Classrooms

webfact · 1 hour ago1 hr

A federal judge has struck down an Arkansas law mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms, marking a significant development in an ongoing legal battle over religion in U.S. education. In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Timothy L. Brooks concluded that the requirement violated constitutional principles, stating there was no valid justification for placing religious texts in a wide range of academic settings.

Samson Option: Will Arab countries take retribution on Israel?

GammaGlobulin · yesterday at 07:09 AM1 day

Dear Folks, People who know me have always considered me to be quite a Casssandra. I like to think of myself as the modern-day Kassandra of the unbiased kind. I have no need to read tea leaves or oracle bones because, in fact, it is within my own bones that I feel the future. Some believe that women have this SIXTH SENSE of intuition and premonition about future events which men are unable to comprehend. I have found that the feminine side of me, though I be, indeed, merely a man, also reta

Will Trump back down?
Will Trump back down?

GammaGlobulin · 16 hours ago16 hr

Dear Folks, I have absolutely no idea how to create a “poll”, on TV. However, be that as it may be, what is your opinion? Will Trump back down? Deep in his big heart, Trump knows that the right move, given the reality of his situation, is to finally step down from his high-horse, and just….BACK DOWN. Do you think he is capable for doing so? Yes? No? IMHO, the answer is a definite YES. Trump is easily capable of pragmatically backing down, and getting out of Iran, while the getting is goo

GammaGlobulin · 19 hours ago19 hr

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

Fuel Shortage

pj123 · Monday at 12:21 PM1 day

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?

Price of sleeping tablets
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

Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution
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

Did you know - How your walk can signal your mood

CharlieH · 8 hours ago8 hr

The way people walk may reveal more about their emotions than previously understood, according to new research that highlights how subtle changes in movement can signal how someone is feeling. 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
