Thief Steals Motorbike and Belongings Worth Over a Million Baht from a New Zealander in Patong, Suspect Arrested
If it wasn't framed he would have rolled up his Van Gogh and stashed it under the seat too.

'A fallen hero': Rudy Giuliani faces the music
Recall DT's recurring claim that on 9/11 there were people of a certain religion having tailgate parties across the river in New Jersey celebrating the attack. This was one of those orange porkies with NOTHING to back it up. Then Rudy pipes up with something about an incident at a candy store in one of the boroughs that morphed a little bit more every time it was told and eventually was made to fit the lie. So you see it was Rudy who made the overtures for a role in the orange regime. Neighborhood boys in the NYC area are protective of their "turf" and to suggest that this happened without somebody doing something about it, the Jersey boys would take it as an insult. If true, the way things would have played out would have us referring to "the night of the Louisville Slugger." No firearms necessary.

US House votes to authorise Biden impeachment inquiry
They should make a "Dumb and Dumber" sequel starring Don Jr and Hunter. Consider the possibilities. I think they are making fools of themselves, the only way they succeed is via the excrement machinery of right-wing media. "Yes! They indicted him to protect him! Classic rubric!" https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2023/12/08/james-comer-hunter-biden-indictment-reaction-sot-lead-vpx.cnn

Supreme Court asked to decide if Trump can be prosecuted
Article I, Section 3, Paragraph 7: Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law. And now our brilliant AN Constitutional scholars can explain why this doesn't apply to the orange guy. Let me try one: "disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor " After January 6th 2021 the US Presidency is no longer an office of honor. DT, Putin and the GOP win on this one. "“Well done, Republicans! They’re standing firm! That’s good for us,” said propagandist Olga Skabeeva on Russian state TV, grinning." https://newrepublic.com/post/177432/russia-celebrates-republicans-blocking-aid-ukraine-missile-barrage Oh, and Hail Mary moves? That would be any legal move the DT cabal tried after 1/6.

Trump reverses on testifying in New York fraud trial, says he won’t take the stand
Supposedly it was started by the Puritans, make what you will of that. No need to listen to what she's saying, but watch the guy behind if you want to know about the turkey.

Trump reverses on testifying in New York fraud trial, says he won’t take the stand
Which brings to mind yet another aspect of the seditionist presidency: he has properties in Scotland. I have been waiting for someone in the press or US gov't to suggest it might be worth a look see in search of other classified US documents that may be there. Getting a lot of Russian tourists at his places?

In inaugural speech, Argentina’s Javier Milei prepares nation for painful shock adjustment
New president means a new hog at the trough, a national tradition. Was last there in 2010, exchange rate was slightly less than 4 pesos to 1 USD. Today it is 366 pesos. Kleptocracy rules!

Where to go (for the people who've been everywhere already)???
In US cities three days when it's best to stay at home, IMO: NYE, St Patty's Day, Halloween. OP: there are 2 Koh Changs (maybe others as well), one is near the Cambo border, the other in the Andaman (boat from Ranong). I quite liked the Andaman one, quiet and rustic. The 2004 tsunami gave the place a lot of publicity in Europe, and within a year or so there were loads of all-night reggae bars. If you want to sleep, too bad. Haven't been there since 2006 or so.

Thai Authorities to Impose Sobering-Up Areas to Prevent Drunk Driving Amid 4AM Bar Closings
How often have any of us witnessed a person declare they are not drunk, and when no one heeds them they go into a drunken tantrum demanding that no one see them as drunk? Or do only farang do that?

Best way to fly BKK to US west cost?
You might want to check out trans-polar routes. I did it once on Eva (I think) more than 15 years back. Bkk-Taipei-Anchorage, I was heading for NYC. Can't recall flight times. Did Detroit-Tokyo via the pole also, that was in the United family.

I have taken vitamins every weekend for 24 months
And the rest of the week? If you're serious about this try turning that list into your daily breakfast. Some days swap out the yoghurt for something with fiber, like oat bran. And a lot of water to send the bran on its way. Swap out one banana for a different fresh fruit. Myself, I take turmeric every day, in capsules. Almonds too.

Trump sidesteps question when asked if he plans to abuse power if re-elected
Very subjective word is abuse. Ask any masochist. Someone came to use the word for the act of self-pleasuring, I feel sorry for him.

We had one once, Pat Paulsen; we mourn our loss. His presidential campaign slogan was "If nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve."

Biden ‘not sure he’d be running’ in 2024 if Trump wasn’t: ‘We cannot let him win’ Biden says he's about straight talk, and here is a delivery.

Trump sidesteps question when asked if he plans to abuse power if re-elected
The white christian nationalists are going to love this guy. BTW, you were doing an assessment of Fox channel recently, something I meant to point out: Fox does not show the videos of the 1/6 attack on the Capitol. Even in their scant coverage of the 1/6 hearings, when the committee showed the clips of the violence Fox blurred it out. None so blind as those who are not allowed to see . . . And even in the rest of the media, evidence of some of the deeds done by the MAGA horde were never aired, like the feces smeared inside the building. The committee didn't mention it either.

Why is INSPECTOR in English but not in Thai? Perhaps because Thai people know an inspector when they see one.

German documentary reignites sex tourism concerns for Thailand’s Pattaya
Haven't tried this lately, but I used to drop in at the TAT office when arriving at BKK. Most of the ads in the stuff they handed out had to do with companionship. Pretty bold. The Skin Business in LOS is not clandestine. Amusement park? Would YOU let your kid go on a ride in Thailand?
