Shock and Fury: NRA Defends Gun Rights After Minneapolis Shooting
A legit question for LE to ask him: why do you have so many guns, sir? On the street/road: "Why are you carrying a gun, sir?" "I'm exercising my 2nd Amendment rights." "And why are you doing so on this particular day?" "ummmmm . . . ." On the lighter side, in the movie "Richard Jewel" a guy was asked why he owned so many guns, he said "I'm from Georgia." (US)

American Tourist Knocked Unconscious in Pattaya Street Fight
Well, they are! It takes a real man to kick a guy in the face when he's knocked down. But really, we don't know what happened beforehand, maybe the bashed-up guy was going full Mel Gibson on him. Alcohol doesn't always make people happy.

Trump and Cruz Clash Over Election 'Bloodbath' Warning
Ted's been quiet for a while, and he's suddenly become visible again in the past few weeks. Think of it this way: the 2028 campaign is only 16 months away.

Jack Smith Claims Trump’s Criminal Links to Capitol Riot!
Wouldn't it be ironic if the International Criminal Court nabbed DT and his droogs and the prosecutor is Jack Smith? It is always a laugh when a lunatic is running around denouncing everyone else as deranged. "No puppet, no puppet, YOU are the puppet!" That was her chance to go in for the kill, and she blew it.

Thailand to Redefine ‘Normal Sweetness’ in Drinks
Ban high-fructose corn syrup. Everywhere. In Mexico the Coca-Cola does not have the stuff, still uses sugar.

Trump's Bold Bid for Global Peace! Is the UN Being Sidelined?
"I whine until I win" he explained during the 2016 campaign. He lies like a rug, and gets mad when people don't believe him. After all these years he's still not good at it. Unfortunately plenty of people on this planet are like that, like my landlord.

Police Bust “King Power Gold” Investment Fraud Ring
I didn't pay much attention to it so can't provide details, but a few years back there was some off stuff to do with the King Power's airport business, and it supposedly had something to do with the then former-PM in exile at the time.

Dolly Parton - World On Fire
That gal on F Troop with the real tight jeans, man, seeing her getting on and off that horse was very influential on my adolescence. I couldn't help but noticing it was always shot from a good angle, so I guess I'm not the only one to notice. Mom & Dad had no idea. A reporter once asked Dolly's sister, who had just released her first record, if she hoped to fill her sister's shoes. "It's not her shoes I want to fill" she said.

Trump's Bold Bid for Global Peace! Is the UN Being Sidelined?
So is this Board of Peace supposed to be the new Axis? Look up who he has invited so far, we're back to the "all the best people" con. What's the goal, what's in it for him? Oh wait, I found it: "It is not known whether any have agreed to donate $1 billion for permanent membership." https://www.nbcnews.com/world/europe/trump-board-of-peace-countries-davos-cost-nato-what-know-rcna255433

Trump Takes Jabs at World Leaders in Fiery Davos Speech!
IMO his whole thing about Greenland is borne of Putin. In the Cold War novel "Hunt for Red October" the author does a good job of explaining how important the North Pole waterways are (strategically) for Russia/USSR. (It's a good suspenseful read as well.) I recall reading an article (maybe 20 years ago?) that Russia had built a fleet of ice-breaking ships for maintaining the strategic routes. Something that stuck out in that speech/screed is that he did not stumble on referring to the USSR as Russia. I suspect a certain former KGB operative schooled him on that.

Trump Takes Jabs at World Leaders in Fiery Davos Speech!
He's afraid to go north of 125th Street in NYC because that is Blackland. I know somebody who was in the US military during the Cold War years, stationed in Greenland. He said "the thing to remember is that Greenland is ice, and Iceland is green. US$700 for sunglasses. Elite? Who? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-23/macron-s-davos-shades-crash-italian-maker-s-site-boost-shares

Ladyboy Suspect Steals From Korean Tourist on Pattaya Songthaew
Looking for a man dressed as a woman. In Pattaya. How difficult can that be? I'm sure there are plenty of AN members eager to volunteer as genital inspectors.

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2026)
I agree with the wooden thing, suspected all along that him and his buddy Matt's real talent is on the casting couch. I saw "Pearl Harbor" when it came out, better off with "From Here to Eternity" (the movie that sold billions of tubes of friction ointment ). Couldn't help noticing that they tried to make Ben look like the lead actress, and vice versa. I suspected the director was going for some kind of Freudian thing about narcissism, or was it gender-bending.

Chinese National Arrested in Pattaya E-Cigarette Sting
In the US it used to be that there was a US$100 tax on an ounce of cannabis (probably established in the 1930s, when $100 was a lot of money), and at the same time possession of the stuff was illegal. A high-profile individual in the late 1960s rose to the challenge and sent the US gov't $100 for such. Of course they then busted him and sent him to prison. The guy was Timothy Leary.

NASA Gears Up for Epic Moon Mission!
Can someone keep a tally of how many threads DO NOT get diverted into something regarding gender transitioning? What's with you guys? When you go to sleep do you worry that you'll wake up with a different set of genitals? This is an obsession.

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2026)
He brings his A-game for Spike. It is a real NYC movie. But a real cop would have fenced the gem ;^) There seems to be a problem these days where sometimes (that's sometimes) the movie is lousy but the performance is good. I liked Roman Israel Esq, his modern-day character is trying to come off like a late 1960s activist, and I remember those days; rest of it unimpressive IMO. Two other blah movies with impressive performances are Meryl Streep in "Ricky and the Flash" and Sandra Bullock in "All About Steve" -- both of these movies seem to run out steam about 2/3 of the way through.

NASA Gears Up for Epic Moon Mission!
Where are the cost-obsessed Republicans on this? Absolutely no mention of the waste of taxpayer dollars, which would be their primary focus on this announcement if the Dems were behind it. The US is a poor country that cannot provide health care to it's citizens, and the danger is that it's wealthiest people (and the foreigners who buy their American privilege (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-gold-card-creates-interest-decisions-for-foreign-nationals/ar-AA1TBFN6) ) may become slightly less wealthy. Big win for the SpaceX guy who is smart enough to not ride one of his own rockets. MAGA, baby!
