Pretty impressive penguins that did $1.4 million in exports to the USA in 2022. Upper graphic is from US HTC. Lower graphic is from World Bank.

I'd appreciate anyone posting up a list of the buildings by category. I suspect it's available somewhere in Thai, but I have no clue where to look. I'm most curious about the hotel I'm booked into next week, but also think it would be good information for anyone looking for a rental, and even more useful for anyone who wants to buy. And to anyone who has property but lives overseas.

I was going to ask if it happens more on Bean Burrito night down at the pub. But Thailand doesn't do bean burritos.

Probably not, since the facts and circumstances of the cases are completely different. I don't know of any entity that's even brought this one to lower courts, much less SCOTUS.

Every president in my lifetime has stretched their authority in a similar manner. If it wasn't the Bad Orange Man, the MSM would be shrugging it off as "business as usual".

Ask Linda Blair. I slept with the light on for months after watching that movie.

The guys at DEFCON usually crack it in under 90 minutes. And you're forgetting the guy who bought one off of EBay, and the state didn't even know it was missing until he turned it into them. Makes me wonder how many others are missing and "in a lab for months".

You mean like they do at DEFCON every year when hackers get a crack at the latest and greatest voting machines and find vulnerabilities every time? And that guy demonstrated in a Georgia court?

One of the main tenets of the sanctuary laws is that the cops won't report them to ICE after they've been arrested for crimes. So the ones being protected are criminals, and not just for crossing the border.

Not without due process though, according to the US Supreme Court ruling recently handed down - so therefore not in the way the Trump administration did it. The one guy that's coming back was ordered to leave the country by a judge in 2019. He got his due process. He refused to leave,

From Victor Davis Hanson:

Here in China, I can hire a caretaker to stay with the patient because the hospitals (while the care is excellent) don't feed or provide other services like they do back in nanny land. They just provide the medical care. Food, laundry etc. is up to the family. Is that a thing in Thailand? If so, how would someone find a caretaker like that? I didn't need one at Bumrungrad when I had my bypass, but I've never been in a Thai gub'ment hospital.

I keep getting SMS's from my insurer telling me it's past time to get my booster and my flu shot. So I have no doubt they'd try it on again unless there is pushback and (hopefully) consequences. Edit: And that's after they paid for 2 trips to the ER for my vaccine injury. One with an overnight stay. You'd think they'd know better than to try to jab another one into me.

So Trump added to the debt by cutting taxes and Biden added to the debt by pissing away more money. What's it mean when the slope of this line was steeper during the Biden years? Forget the analysis, which has been politicized to death. Just look at the numbers. And to claim that a lot of Biden's spending was Covid spending was disingenuous. BTW, what was the Federal Budget in the last year of Trump vs the last year of Biden. That tells the story. Just the number, please. Not the propaganda.

Sad as it is, maybe they'll head off a repeat WHEN (not IF) the next pandemic hits.

It's not news. It's a forecast by the same fidiots that thought Bidenomics were great, then predicted Harris was a shoe-in. For a dose of reality, here's Victor Davis Hanson's question #5 of 10... About tariffs.

I don't know that I've ever been on Soi 6, at least not after dark. Nobody back home believes me, but that's not something I seek in LOS.

Used to be the same in the USA. Then a switch flipped and a deep tan meant you had leisure time to frolic in the sunshine. Then skin cancer flipped it back. Then they invented the stuff you just slather on for a deep tan. It's confusing. Regarding the OP and helmets, I support their use, but I also support the freedom to choose. It's none of my business, especially as a guest. And I'm appalled at the less-than-useful pieces of plastic that are legally approved as "helmets". If you are going to mandate helmets, mandate the ones that will actually protect riders. Edit: Same with life jackets. There should be some minimum standard, along the lines of USCG Approved back home. Maybe not the same standard, but there should be one.

From the OP: His sentencing is set for July, where he could face a substantial prison term for his actions.

Half of US soldiers to potentially pull out of European wimmuns. Fixed it for you. Over paid, over sexed and over here... Not to mention drop dead hansum.

I wonder how many interns Kennedy boffed in those hallowed hallways. And Clinton. Edit: And how many bags of coke they'll find during Trump 2. So far, Team Biden's ahead 1-0.

What happened to Rwanda? Kinda glad we have El Salvador and the Bad Orange Man, with a shoutout to Tom Homan. (And a trade imbalance so we can tariff the dogcrap out of any country that won't take theirs back.)

Yeah. That rate of growth looks sustainable.

You should do a TV commercial on that. I was almost in tears the first time I went to Pattaya thinking I was going to an exotic, unspoiled beach for a golf tournament. I grew to like the place (well, Jomtien) but it was a shock the first time, especially with Friday traffic.

I guess you're forgetting that ole' Joe piled on more debt than Trump, added more jobs for "newcomers" than natives, and the only reason the unemployment rate didn't skyrocket is because they didn't count the millions of unemployed newcomers in the labor pool yet. Are you digging on Joe's $40 billion high speed internet that has so far connected zero customers to high speed internet? They could be serving millions of users for years now, but that would have been a win for a Trump supporter.
