Well, I'd "Link" you to American TV but don't think it'll work. I was simply stating (TTBOMM) what I watched yesterday compared to what I get when Googling those same stories 24hrs later. This is not a 'conspiracy theory', just a statement of fact and a curiosity of what you all see overseas on your news channels. I like a variety so I can compared the way stories are reported - it's bizarre to say the least - 1 I watch here is called "Fox Live" (yea, I can feel the eye rolls from here). This has nothing to do with their other shows. This is actual live cam and mic at all the meetings of various government officials so instead of waiting for a reporter's version of what was said and what it means according to them, I get it straight from the horses mouth. I also watch News Nation, ABC, NBC, CBS, Bloomberg but none of the "Sore Losers" (draw your own conclusion on who they are) This Must be the DEMS

A few other things that may or may not have made the news cycle you watch: Pennsylvania caught and arrested Dem election official faking votes for Harris. (this was on TV yesterday - googling it today and you can't find it.) 1 confirmed case of bird flu in Louisiana - CA Gov Newsom declares state of emergency over bird flu. Googling this gets interesting results - some calling a "Proactive State of Emergency" and claiming it's wiping out dairy cows and making people fall ill while a separate search just on BF and it says this is the 1st ever case in the US. The mayor of San Diego, CA and his counsel passed a "Law" forbidding law enforcement from helping ICE. The sheriff said, "screw you" to the mayor. Liz Cheney may soon occupy a cell next to or in place of the J6ers for witness tampering - Googling this now (less than 24hrs later) and all you can find are articles on how "The Revenge Machine" has started, targeting this poor, underappreciated champion of democracy when, in reality, she's always hated President Trump and threw all in with the panel, even to the point of breaking laws and NOW she has No Air-cover - they were ALL fired by the voters. In a wonderfully clever move, the Dems have moved "Shifty Schiff" from the house to the senate with hopes of a last minute pardon. The Biden Legacy is going to be "Steal til you get caught then just pardon everyone".

Can I get some Blu Cheese dressing for this word salad? 😁

OK, so there's a difference in the USPS and the UKPS. With the USPS we can just sign up for the scanned covers of each piece of expected mail which is sent to my email daily (unless there is no mail) for free. The USPS will also forward overseas. IF you're going to use a pay service, why not just have them send it directly to you?

OK, so the 'helpful suggestion' part, rent the house and instruct the post office to 'temp' forward only your mail to Thailand.

I stopped here to reread this a couple of times while scratching my head. Why wouldn't you want the mail to just go directly to your friend? It can't be the 'inconvenience' thing since you're willing to pay to have, yet another company to 'inconvenience' your friend...?

When you recover from your kool-aid overdose, read through this interesting piece: We're here to help you with the big words. https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2021/01/29/how-america-changed-during-donald-trumps-presidency/ ETA: This was just from his 1st term as the 1st president in history to be elected with 0 experience in politics.

You watch, they'll all just vanish OR the eastern seaboard will vanish.

I disagree on the whole of this line of thinking, to whit: The worst thing a decision-maker can do is to not drill down deep on ALL the people around him that "Came with the job". Ex: https://cha.house.gov/2024/9/transcripts-show-president-trump-s-directives-to-pentagon-leadership-to-keep-january-6-safe-were-deliberately-ignored And as for Trump 2.0: This man entered into the most tight-knit secrete club and took the top job in the club in Nov 2016 and made it official Jan. 2017 without totally knowing he had crossed a secrete line. (Trump BETA - Upgraded to 1.0 in 2 years) He found himself being publicly attacked by "The Machine" on the world stage for pretty much the first time in his life. Prior to throwing his hat in the ring for President, he was a real-estate executive that took over the company and expanded it's marketing to "Goods and Services", "Entertainment" and finally "Reality Star". Like him or not, he had created himself as a "Known World Brand". (< this fact alone should resonate with the "Average Man" similar to Coke and McDonald's) This looked more like a corporate takeover because that was his expertise. Only this time it was the largest corporation in the world. There were, no doubt, lengthy discussions with family, friends, peers and lawyers that started back in 2008 and steadily increased in frequency and seriousness. He had a Great time in his very 1st public debate for President in the 2015 Primary's. By the time he entered the White House for the very 1st time as POTUS the career politicians were mostly in 1 of 2 lines; Suckups and Nevertrumpers. And so, reality TV meets MSM. Kool-Aid pumps on high. (Funniest Headline: (paraphrased - old age) "NY Landlord Evicts Black Family After Christmas...") Now, 8 tears later and about 1,000,000,000% "More Learned" is appointing people he trusts NOT to stab him in the back from day 1, not really Yes-Men". Currently our "President" is enjoying his basement and signing anything put in front of him, our VP quit (unofficially), our outgoing, failure of a SoS Blinken jumps on a plane unannounced and flew to Iraq for a secrete meeting on the "Spoils of Syria" to try and get "Promises" in place at the 11th hr. I could go on and on and on about the mess being created in the last 30 days before President Trump takes office but I WILL sell you a "<deleted>BeGone" political survivors kit for just 1 Bitcoin.

It also shows how the "Establishment" thinks and how sick and tired the other 96% are of corporate BS. The guy's salary was $10m a year and a large chunk of that came from the bonuses they (the CEOs and board members) paid themselves from the Bush/Obama bailout. It was the classic leftist nutters running the government from behind the curtain that agreed to pay insurance companies a 300% increase in premiums to accept all who apply. The insurance companies then consolidated into conglomerates and only gave the bare minimum of coverage BUT offered to "Upgrade" you for a small additional fee. (see the bottom of the letter) Campaigned on free "everything under the sun" while working on charging people who own their homes around 45% on your property that you already paid tax on (plus yrly to the state (Depending) because now it's worth more than you bought it for.

OK...so, to divert from the pissing contest: For all that don't actually know the end details of the current healthcare system in the states, this is how it breaks down (IME) My mom has healthcare insurance from medicare A&B as well as her private Non-Obamacare healthcare insurance. She pays around $500 USD per month for all. I moved back here 2 yrs ago to take care of her. My only income upon arrival was my SS so I contacted the healthcare.gov site and was immediately bombarded with insurance companies all vying to "Give" me healthcare insurance, for free. 🤔 Here's a bill: This was followed by this eye opening letter a few months later: You can see by the bill that the insurance companies are collecting nearly $2000 "bounty" on every swinging dick they can sign-up, the younger the better but they take all comers w/o an exam, with preexisting conditions, nothing matters as long as they can classify you as "poor" and sign you up. The part of the letter I found most interesting is the "tax" threat and the follow-up phone call explaning the provided coverage wasn't any better than Medicare Part A anyway. (you automatically get that free when you turn 65 for those unfamiliar with the real peculiarities of being an American. (meaning born here,not just watched it on TEEVEE) Enjoy

This could be a new Thai Tour - "Sex on the Beach: Where to drink it, view it and indulge in it" tour. 😁

I recently went to see the PT dept at the VA and they gave me 1 of those electric muscle stimulation gadgets and the doctor told me putting the electrodes on my abs not only helps my stomach muscles tighten but also improves poop flow. Fixed me right up. Haven't pooped rocks since.

True. That was during Obama's "Apology" term after giving Putin the green light. (search Obama Hot Mic) Zelinsky was still beating his meat on pianos while dancing in heels. Ah Yes, those sneaky, highly skilled "Ninjaskis".

Restore your hope. It means "Lifting My Old Penis" and you bit. 😁

here's where they lost me

I have a prenup - my wife's mom told me she'd be a good wife for me.

Where would we be in this Thailand Forum w/o our proper ration of "Sticky Rice Balls"??!!?? DUDE! You're Famous! You're right up there with "Bob" and that "Gammaglobulin" guy!

There are NO safe, securely built tool boxes in Thailand. That's why there's so many 'tools' running around loose.

That's the 1st sign that you're going to get the "I'm sorry, our budget can't afford to renew your contract for next year..." speech. Also, do you have a copy of your original and current contracts? Another thing that happens at Thai schools is, they rewrite the conditions and terms pages so it only shows you were on 6 month renewals. (happened to me)

you could always try withdrawing 1/2 of each double payment and then deposit it in the 2 months you get nothing. they only look at the deposits.

Egypt would be perfect for you 'Gam" because "DENILE" would truly be a river outside your front door.

Because ALL of the politicians and rich people own shares of the alcohol business and only a few own shares in the weed business.
