impulse

Just riding around on the BTS and MRT convinces me that foreign guys take a thin slice of a thin wedge of all the hotties. Many of whom support their Thai husbands and lovers with the money from their falang sponsors.

MSM has been around since the Egyptian Pharaohs (at least). That according to famous Egyptologist Bob Brier who notes that their tombs never show scenes of battle losses and retreats. Just victories getting closer and closer to home. They've been toeing the line and lying to the public for thousands of years.

So, Ukrainian pilots just out of a few weeks of training, going up against Russkie pilots with thousands of flight hours and years of experience, along with Russkie air defenses developed over decades, optimized specifically for F-16's. That's just cruel.

If I'm ever in an accident, my dedicated GPS will be on and my phone will be on Google Maps. That doesn't mean I was looking at either one when the accident happened. If the impact is severe, the phone and the GPS probably won't be in their mounts on the dashboard, either. But that doesn't mean that either one was in my hands. I have hands free speakers for the phone and never touch the GPS. Of course, that's in my 4 wheeler since I'm not a scooter kind of guy. I'd be curious whether the rider had a handlebar mount for the phone. If not, and he had the phone in hand, there's a sad data point for anyone paying attention. If he did have one, chances are the phone departed the mount during the crash.

Here's the rest of that story... Same source, but the whole story. Quick question... How many doses and how long into the future have the gub'ments of the world (especially the USA) committed to buying from Big Pharma? Because it sure sounds like someone's trying to keep the fear alive.

Thanks for that!

And could have easily been prevented had the judge done the competent thing and sequestered the jury after testimony was complete, instead of sending them out into the community for the holiday. Making them pinky swear they wouldn't talk to anyone about the most talked about case in the country. What could possibly go wrong? Edit: Of course, Merchan may have had a hard time finding 6 empty hotel rooms, with all the hotels booked up for "newcomers"

I'd like to see the killing and the pointless dying stop and the rebuilding start. And see Europe step back from the nuclear abyss. I'm also amazed at the pro-Israel posters who think Israel will survive if 200% of America's war manufacturing capacity gets sent to fight a Euro ground war with Russia. They haven't been listening to the experts who are telling the warmongers that it'll take years to ramp up war factories to fight Russia. Israel will be gone in 2 years if their enemies attack and the USA and UK aren't there to assist, because we're strapped in Ukraine.

Here's a couple of little doses of sanity... They quit updating in 2023, but here's the totals, showing that of the 84,643,000 cases age 0-64 years, 276,000 died. That's a tragedy, for sure. But that's 1 in 300 of the cases. From 0-17 years old, there were 16,748,000 cases and 1,642 deaths. That's one death per 10,200 cases. Yet they're recommending vaccinating infants down to 6 months old in spite of no long term data about the side effects. If you want a perfect example of why vaccine uptake is so low, and so few American trust the CDC about vaccinations, here it is. I was one of the first in line when mRNA became available in my area. After waking up with a life altering vaccine injury the day after my 2nd Pfizer, they'd have to hold a gun to my head to put a 3rd into me. But that's me. Have a look at your own age demographic and do your own math. If you're over 65, it may be a good idea... https://www.statista.com/statistics/1254271/us-total-number-of-covid-cases-by-age-group/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1191568/reported-deaths-from-covid-by-age-us/ Under 64 years old, it's hard to see the actual number of hospitalizations per 100,000. Looks like about 1 or 2 per week per 100,000 population. That was in 2023, the latest data I could find with a quick search. But they still want to jab the kids. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/pdfs/mm7240a3-H.pdf

Is there a specification for the parasite medicine, name, dosage, program, etc? I spent about a week each month in Thailand for the past year or so (and into the foreseeable future), and I'm always nervous about eating in unfamiliar venues. Especially since I love street food, though I avoid as much as possible uncooked meat, fish and other seafood. Still... A little prevention. No telling what dripped on the food they put on my plate. Best of luck to Steady Eddie. Though I can't say I've met him or I'm familiar with his work...

What news would that be? That Trump's up in the polls, rappers and tech moguls are coming over in droves, and Team Trump has raised almost half a billion $$$ just since the verdict? Or is it that Germany and France are getting ready for WW3, Biden got caught micro-napping and and being led around by Jill at the D-Day commemoration, Israel isn't listening to him about Rafah, jobs for US born people are actually down (as are wages and hours and full time jobs), and Biden just admitted that he had the power to solve the border problem all along, exploding that 3+ year narrative? That news? BTW, proof that it's a scam? Just because a guy's profile photo looks batcrap crazy and he may (wisely) deny ratting his cousin out for violating juror instructions... I wonder how long the investigation will take. Because even if he recants, he may be doing it to save his bacon, along with his cousins'. All could have been avoided had Merchan done the competent thing and sequestered the jury for arguably the most important trial of the decade. More reversible error.

Winning? He already won. Ten years ago in Crimea. A couple of years ago in Donbas. Under Obama and Biden respectively. Crickets under Trump, but that's a topic for other threads...

What was removed? Not the letter from Merchan to the attorneys... That one's in the history books.

Depression? The guy's up in the polls and on fire, having raised almost half a billion $$$ in donations, all since the verdict. Freely admitting it's a right wing rag, here's a link to the GP article that has a screenshot of the actual social media post AND a copy of the letter from Merchan to the attorneys on both sides. Posted not because I agree with their analysis, but because they bring the receipts, unlike the MSM. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/06/breaking-mistrial-new-york-case-judge-merchan-issues/

Bet'cha Merchan is wishing he'd sequestered the jury. Won't it be a kick in the nuts if the verdict is overturned and Trump can sue Biden and all the pundits who called him a "convicted felon"? Because he's not convicted until the judge accepts the jury's verdict. Which he hasn't yet. And possibly never will, if this juror misbehaved as alleged.

Reading the linked blurb and perusing the actual study, I don't guess they bothered measuring pulse ox levels to see if the masks restricted breathing or oxygen uptake Seems like that's a variable they should have tested for in a study of people who were having a hard time breathing, like Covid patients are prone to. Putting a plastic bag over my head would do an even better job of reducing my cough generated aerosols.

I get that. I do. The nomad life isn't for everybody, but living on an island in Texas for years and near the beaches for decades, I meet dozens of new snowbirds every year who live in the Great White North in the summer and head south for the winter. Lots of them stop in Galveston and even more go all the way to Mexico. They love the lifestyle, and many of them are in their 80's and 90's. And the older I get, the less appealing it is for me to live in a single family home with grass to cut and gutters to clean...

Gosh. If you were thinking about getting a 2nd home in Cambodia, Vietnam or the Phils, the gub'ment may have made it easier to decide to spend 186 days in another country. Figure $300-500 (USD) a month for rent, food and entertainment is a wash, plus a few hundred extra $$$ each year for formalities and traveling back and forth. Getting a 2nd home for 6 months a year may be cheaper for some expats than paying the taxes. Doesn't seem so tragic... But there's a lot of mystery between now and the first report to the Revenue Department.

Is that the same MSM that gave us Gulf of Tonkin, WMD's in Iraq, Russia election collusion, the fake laptop story, and dozens of other hits (and wars) in the past 100 years?

Call me a prude, but I don't know that I'd bring my "inappropriate books" to an expat club meeting. That would probably go over like bringing a MAGA t-shirt collection or a Marylin Chambers retrospective box set. Nobody would want to be seen taking them. And I wouldn't want to be seen bringing them. First impressions and all... If near Chatuchuk, there's a whole section of used book stores right near the MRT Kampheang Phet (sp?) station. I think the chances of offloading them would be higher in the weekend market.

I don't know why he'd be worried. All his lawyers have to do is keep him out of jail past election day so his father (or Kamala) can pardon him with impunity. Surely, in Delaware, they can stretch it out a few months.

So if I gave someone a bunch of money for purple paint, and the next day found the street in front of my house painted purple, there's no proof that I funded it?

I used to go to work before dawn in Bangkok (Asoke) and was always amazed at the trash guys who would empty the bins from the apartment complex onto the street, and sift through looking for anything of value before putting the garbage into the truck. If I had a set of books to get rid of, I'd bind them up into the set and put them out with the trash, confident that they'd end up in the place most likely to make someone a few baht by reselling them.

Yeah. They're doing a lot in the states. Making it more difficult and expensive to manufacture there, so companies are shifting their manufacturing to the 3rd world where they care more about the environment. Or maybe they don't.

With Dems in the majority in the Senate, they could have videos of Biden walking across the White House lawn with a severed head in one hand and a bloody machete in the other, and impeachment trial would be a non-starter. The purpose of the impeachment investigation is to compel evidence to show the voters just how corrupt the Biden crime family is, and has been for decades. Then you have the Hur report that concluded that Biden did commit crimes, willfully and with full knowledge that they were crimes. But he's basically incompetent to stand trial.
