  1. One of the benefits of not living in the USA is that people do not go into savage mode as soon as there is a catastrophic event. Some countries have culture and civility. Bad news. That's a thin veneer of civility. They'd be eating each other if it had lasted a little longer.
  2. Has any of that really happened, other than in the MSM creamy dreams?
  3. I don't see anyone "automatically blaming the woman". I do see people questioning why anyone with 450 hours would be assigned to fly VIP politicians in and out of such a hazardous airport. And noting that the guy she disobeyed was her instructor pilot, though she outranked him. Which is another puzzler.
  4. If I'm at home in Thailand, I always shower after a dump. Chances are I needed it for the sweating anyway. Plus in the morning when I wake up and before I go to bed at night. And it's not unusual for me to strip off my sweat drenched clothes and take a 2 minute shower when I get home from bopping around in the tropics. But I'm one of those guys who can sweat in a blizzard even when it's well below freezing. And I wear long pants and a collared shirt whenever I'm out in public in Thailand. Except at the pool or the beach.
  5. He's like the neighbor who comes in halfway through a remodel job and complains about how it's going to look when it's finished. As if he has a clue. Of course there's some turmoil. That's to be expected when you're dismantling 50 years of horrible trade policy. And when the other side is accustomed to getting their way for 50 years, they'll screech like banshees.
  6. It's days like those that I'm glad we have the 2nd Amendment. Though for me in Galveston it was usually after a hurricane, when the cops were busy and the scavengers were even busier.
  7. Meanwhile, across the pond, a British reporter asks Leavitt if the US will entertain asylum claims from Brits subject to gross injustice for thought crimes: “In Britain, we have had over a quarter of a million people issued non-crime hate incidents. As we speak, there are people in prison for quite literally reposting memes. We have extensive prison sentences for tweets, social media posts, and general free speech issues,” the founding member of folk rock group Mumford & Sons said. “Would the Trump administration consider political asylum for British citizens in such a situation?” (Winston) Marshall asked. “I have not heard that proposed to the president, nor have I spoken to him about that idea, but I certainly can talk to our national security team and see if it’s something the administration would entertain,” she told the podcast host.
  8. It's tough to forecast when the Houthis may try one on, using their Iranian Bidenbucks. That's just the nature of the operations. There are always going to be times when they're vulnerable. It's like the guys sitting on the porcelain stainless thrones. They generally don't code brown, but who can blame them if nature calls just before a Houthi drone strike?
  9. As I recall, they were running a budget surplus before Newsom. Meanwhile, the Cali Dems are pushing a bill that would decriminalize welfare fraud up to $25K. Seems like their short memories don't remember what happened when they decriminalized shoplifting up to $950. What could possibly go wrong? Senate Bill 560. In fairness, they're only decriminalizing welfare overpayments stemming from administrative errors or minor infractions. Minor infractions like reporting more kids than they have or lying about whether they're living with a wage earner. Sounds like they'll be seeing a lot more fraud and fibbery up to $24,999.
  10. Don't get me wrong. You can get tuna flavored ice cream, too. I've never seen it in the states, but in Asia.
  11. That's fine, but you'll be in real trouble if you misgender them when you're doing it.
  12. Gov. Gavin Newsom state’s gross domestic product surpassed Japan’s 4th biggest in the World That must be in spite of Newsom. Imagine how much better it would be with an adult in charge.
  13. You can get all kinds of flavored tuna in a can. Pepper, spices, etc. Most Tuna in the world is from a Thai owned company. Maybe that's the key here. Tuna salad sandwiches are a lunchtime staple for US kids. Tuna casserole is one of the great cheap meals.
  14. Amazon "folded" because they'd have to show country of origin to show the tariff costs. I've always contended that online sellers should have to reveal the country of origin, but they don't. If I go to the store, I can always look at the box. By law, they have to reveal country of origin. If I buy on Amazon or EBay, I have to guess. That's the way they want it.
  15. I think that's AOC's entire platform. Now if she could only do away with those pesky ID requirements...
  16. I'm beginning to think that HRC's re-education camps were a good idea. Just aimed at the wrong crowd. Maybe someone should open one up in Thailand. You know, to relieve the lefties of their suffering.
  17. I'll bet you didn't watch Fried Green Tomatoes.
  18. If he's paying $8 a month and a root canal copay is $1500, he's getting virtually nothing. My dental is part of my Medicare Advantage Plan and I get up to 2 root canals and 2 crowns a year for no copay. I had an emergency root canal at Bumrungrad about a year ago and it was around 30,000 baht all in, including the temporary filling on the second day. I wasn't in country long enough to get the permanent crowns because they took at least 2 appointments a few days apart to wait for the molds, etc. I knew 30,000 baht was expensive, but they got me in on the same day while every other place I called had to call around for a qualified dentist to come in. The best they could do was "after hours tomorrow night". I'd have gladly paid 60,000 to alleviate that pain. Post back if you find a dentist in Bangkok that does the new and zoomy same day crowns. I hear that's a thing now...
  19. What deflecting? Trump could run a Mom & Pop store. The knobs that the Dems are putting in front of the voters couldn't even do that.
  20. Maybe, but if she can't run a Mom & Pop store, do you think Harris, AOC or their ilk could run the country? Other than into the ground, I mean... Vote us in and you'll get free stuff. That seems to be their sales pitch.
  21. A lot of people around the world understand Trump's plan and how his rhetoric is just that. Rhetoric. Even some Canadians. Flip flopping is never a good political strategy. Ask the Dems.
  22. I think that's more a function of the thickness of your wallet than the size of your pant snake.
  23. As I understand it from the cheap seats, Polievre was doing okay until he started badmouthing Trump. He may have done even worse had he not started badmouthing Trump, but someone from the Great White North would have to fill me in. The saddest thing is that Canada will be doing better than before when the tariff/51st-state dust settles. The election was just bad luck in the timing.
  24. I don't know about you, but I want them to take the lessons learned so this NEVER happens again. Even if that reflects poorly on anyone involved, dead or alive. Or on any policy that may have contributed to the death of over 60 innocent people.
  25. How did your wife react when you grabbed her?
