Trump Administration Welcomes First Group of White South African Refugees Amid Controversy
And the lefties are all up in arms... The Episcopal Church even cancelled their 40 year contract with the gub'ment to help resettle immigrants, citing a moral opposition to resettling persecuted white folks. Not to mention they showed up waving American flags (and they'll probably vote Red when they do get citizenship). Oh, the horror.

Six Dead as Covid Cases Surge in Thailand
Yeah, but the important thing is that it was quite pleasant for some expats. Even if it devastated the locals.

Democrats to Biden: Step Aside So the Party Can Move Forward
So true. Every time he appears in public, he reminds voters of the Dem fibs to cover it all up. And the fibs of the MSM, who must cringe every time they see him. The MSM must be in quite a quandary, deciding whether it's better that they be seen by viewers as liars, or incompetent. Because it's so obviously one or the other...

White House and Qatar in Talks Over Presidential Jet for Trump Administration
This shows desperation to deflect. Not a good sign. It does show desperation, but not to deflect. It's desperation on the part of the Dems who wish Biden would just go away. It's even got its own thread: Are we taking bets on how many midterm candidates will be asking Biden to stump for them? Other than Republicans, I mean. They'd be thrilled to see him on the campaign trail. Dems, not so thrilled.

Six Dead as Covid Cases Surge in Thailand
One death in 10 million population. Still liking those odds. No data on ages and comorbidities?

White House and Qatar in Talks Over Presidential Jet for Trump Administration
No clue here... Call Big Balls and ask. But given that it was custom built for Qatari royals, I suspect it's already got a lot of the bells and whistles. BTW, Boeing agreed to $3.9 billion for 2 of them, so bringing one in for $400 million of modifications seems like quite the deal. Even to Boeing, who is claiming to be losing a few $billion since it was a fixed price contract. They may be real happy they don't have to produce the 2nd at such a loss.

Corrections Department Denies Seeking Court Action in Thaksin Medical Case
Sooner or later, they were going to bump up against that "Get Out of Jail" card he has. It was a good try, nonetheless.

Thailand's Tourism Sector Struggles: Chinese Market Plummets
A significant factor in what? The increase in flights to other nearby tourist destinations, or the decrease in flights to LOS?

Even MAGA Is Up in Arms Over Trump’s ‘Flying Grift’ From Qatar
Sure. Just list the ones where she was wrong. Because nobody notices when she's right. Besides... Wikipedia? They're about as trustworthy as Dems-Are-Us fact checkers. Or NPR nowadays.

Giant Rocket Crashes Through Rice Mill Roof in Dramatic Bun Bang Fai Incident
That's karma giving the proverbial finger to all you guys that say karma doesn't exist... I'd go out and buy a lottery ticket, but I won't arrive until mid-week.

Even MAGA Is Up in Arms Over Trump’s ‘Flying Grift’ From Qatar
Here's an idea... List all of them, then check off the ones that were actually true. Just because she's a wingnut doesn't mean she's always wrong. I suspect her batting average could use some help, but she's been right, too.

White House and Qatar in Talks Over Presidential Jet for Trump Administration
As I recall, 747's aren't converted to Air Force One. They're built from the ground up, even using different alloys than a production 747. Of course, it's possible that the Qatari's ordered it that way for their ruling family. Nothing but the best... Heck, it may be better than a US gub'ment specked AF1. I don't have a dog in this fight. I could see it going many different ways. But I'm not all up in arms, given how many freebies the US taxpayers have paid for around the world. Including a lot more than $400 million of free airplanes. Maybe it's time we got some back... Call it a modest "thank you" for spending $billions keeping the sea lanes open for their oil. And I am glad to see Boeing feel the pressure and shame, so maybe they'll get their house in order and start delivering stuff on time and not stuff that falls out of the sky.

Unvaccinated Adults Face Graver Threat From Measles
Where does it say the vaccination rate went down? The Mennonites have had the same vaccination rate forever. Zero. Europe had an increase in cases before the claimed "backslide in their vaccination rates" due to Covid. Which they provide no numbers to support, BTW. Because that wouldn't support their narratives. The variable in both Europe and the USA is the number unvetted guests from the 3rd world. Not vaccination rate.

Unvaccinated Adults Face Graver Threat From Measles
On his watch... You're kidding, right? Whose watch is doing it to Europe, who reported over 125,000 cases in 2024. Double the 2023 caseload. Could it be the unfettered migration from the 3rd world? Nah. That wouldn't fit the narrative. But humor me. If it was due to unvetted newcomers, who shut down the border? (And who left it wide ass open for 4 years?)

Trump Vows to Slash Drug Prices with New Executive Order
Have you seen an actual summary of how much Biden's negotiations have saved US patients? Not rosy election year projections. Actual numbers. Real patients. Not hypotheticals. Because it ain't $1.8 billion. They haven't saved me a dime. Edit: BTW, US prescription spending is >$700 billion a year. How much of a savings is $1.8 billion spread over 10 years? Put it in percentage numbers, if you don't mind...
