You've never walked down Sukhumvit between Asoke and Nana? The drivers there are offering tours. Themselves. In fact, everywhere I go in tourist areas, there are taxis sitting with their cars, flashing poster sized brochures of the attractions they'll take you to if you would just sit in their taxi and let them.

Won't be long before Christian and Jewish (and atheist) Europeans are seeking refuge in the US, Canada, Greenland and Australia. Maybe even Russia.

Maybe it's because they can also be incentivized to look the other way? I always wonder what has changed when long established foreigners are suddenly under scrutiny.

1000 participants at 450 baht? It probably cost that much just to rent and set up the arches and the tents. I suspect incompetence more than anything. Perhaps well meaning, but didn't do the math before hand? Hopefully, we'll get some follow-up reports, but I suspect it'll all be forgotten before the next news cycle.

It would be interesting to see that plotted up as gub'ment tit suckers employees vs US population. Maybe a project next time I'm stuck inside on a rainy day.

I wonder how many deals are made sleeping on a beach chair? I've done a lot of business on golf courses. And I don't even like golfing. I don't ever recall even discussing business from a beach chair. Especially when I was snoozing like Sleepy Joe.

I don't recall anyone ever getting fired for asking to be vaccinated. They just fired the ones that declined the experimental shots.

Yeah. Because they've been doing such a good job...

On any given day, a bunch of old people will be shuffling off their mortal coil. Seems pretty reasonable that a lot of them will have Covid if it's going around like that. A certain percentage will also have eaten eggs for breakfast. The question is how many died with Covid and how many died as a result of having Covid? I'd bet that more old people died after eating eggs today...

In the US, they started being reported as "flu deaths" again when hospitals quit getting that fat bonus for treating Covid.

One would hope that police vehicles would have dash cams that also record the speed. I have one in my personal vehicle. Cheap nowadays. Holds 20+ hours of 2.7K video, then records over itself as the SD chip fills up.

I'd bet it's the guy who napped 8 or 10 hours a day, even after a full night of sleep. But you're also insinuating that he wasn't working it on the golf course. That's where a huge percentage of agreements are made.

The Supreme Court did not rule on the issue. They tossed it back to the lower courts. They should have ruled.

They spent just as much on Biden laying around on the beach. At least Trump was meeting with people. Biden was snoozing. Which was probably just as well for the taxpayers. His staff kept the autopen working.

I wonder how many new helicopters they could buy with the pricetag of a new submarine? I looked it up and it seems that the last Huey 212 left the factory in 1998.

And you probably got called out for your "untruth" by our resident lefty contingent. Biden was fit as a fiddle according to them. Any suggestion to the contrary was obviously a nefarious deep fake.

Or, it could be that we voted for a guy who's going to instill some business level discipline to keep the gub'ment from pissing away our tax dollars like water. Rubio said yesterday that USAID delivered only 12% of their funds to those in need. The rest was eaten up in overhead. If you think that's an acceptable outcome, keep voting Dem. I'd add that Trump's the only president in my lifetime that had a lower net worth after being president than he had before. Look it up. Being president cost him money.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Trump's tariff threats? Not really wondering. I'm pretty sure it does.

Anyone who has ever been in high $$ sales knows how much business is transacted on the golf course. The President of my Fortune 500 company would fly in on the days I could snag a golf day with a good customer. It was that productive. 5 hours, one on one.

With the revelations from the books that are dropping and the investigations unfolding, Trump's attacks on the media aren't nearly as vicious as they should be. They lied to us. Repeatedly. They're still lying to us, to cover up their lies.

With over 100 NSC staffers suddenly being "unassigned" to the agency on Friday at 4:20PM, I wonder if they're regretting putting Gabbard on the terror watchlist?

Not to worry. They have a plan: In about 20 years, white Brits and Frenchies are going to wish Trump was still around to give them asylum in the US. Maybe even sooner.

Jeez Louis. He's only been in office for 3 months. Projecting muchly?

Was he impressive, or was his translator? You and I have no way of knowing, other than listening to the pundits. Who I don't trust, on either side.

Treatment and blood alcohol and drug tests, I hope. On an aside, what's the weight limit for a Thai truck? Add 66,000 lb of oil to a 25-30,000 lb truck and that seems rather heavy. Maybe that's why he was out and about when the cops are normally sleeping?
