This rain is like a gift from Buddha here in Saraphi. It is the only thing that will effectively eliminate the toxic smoke haze. The authorities - both local and national - are obviously not up to the task of controlling the wildfires and agricultural burning that is causing it.

No surprises here. The ambassador represents a country that has been built on lies and was founded on the silly fables in their holy books.

"Shyster" is Yiddish for a sneaky, crooked lawyer. Most often - but not always - applied to their own.

Din do nuffin'... Bill Clinton hasn't been called "the first black president" for nuffin'.

That's quite possible... but maybe he bought her and had "buyer's remorse".

A significant percentage of Orthodox Jews are anti-Zionist. It was mainly observant Jews who coexisted with Arabs for hundreds of years in many countries before the advent of Zionism.

That's "thai time" vs. "farang time". Anyone who has been here long enough knows it and allows for it.

Thanks for that very informative topic. Good to know there is another cash crop with high potential being grown in Chiang Mai. That's news to us, and probably many others here.

Go Trump! Flush out the Augean Stables while you still can. It's just a matter of time before you get too old, or get blown away, and another administration of liberal loons take your place.

All those advocating for more asylum seekers entering the country should commit to sponsoring one of them and providing a place for them to live for a while. That way, the financial burden would be off the hard-working American taxpayers.

Better to get old here than in the USA. Numerous reasons for that. The country we grew up in has changed out of recognition. "There's no sympathy for octogenerians." Swamp Dogg (recently deceased)

Anne the Trans resigned recently following fraud charges being filed against her organizarion. Looks like she jumped before she was pushed. Too bad about the 20 mil.

Good call on Anutin's part. Whatever the collateral issues are, the presence ot casinos at "entertainment complexes" creates a cesspool of corruption that doesn't benefit anyone in a positive way.

"Liberal by Asian standards" is still somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun.

OMG he looks really demented now. Just right for the job.

Is it "depression" or some sort of brain damage? Either way, he would be just what US voters might go for. H.L. Mencken's famous quote on American Democracy nailed the current situation very well.

That's because the population of Alameda was - for the most part - law-abiding and decent, as we remember. If they had been lawless and violent to the point where the local police were overwhelmed, then you would have seen the Navy's SP on the streets in force to restore order. There are times and places where martial law is the only option. The rotten inner cities of the USA are a prime example.

If what you say is true - and we don't doubt that it is - it would nullify all the clueless warmongering posts on this thread.

@jonnyF... Spot on. She has become a hideous caricature of the spritely little red-headed tart she once was.

Come now., it fits right in with the outlandish ladies headwear so often seen at these posh royal events.

He looks ghastly. The return to power of him and his corrupt clan has gone terribly wrong.

A big new feather in the fool's cap of this consummate showman.

Spot on. The whole woke ideology is a manifest failure. It's only a matter of time before it is tossed into the dustbin of history.

Thanks for that. Concise and to the point. We've been here since the late '90s, involved - to one extent or another - in the CM property markets. The use of Thai nominees and agents dealing with local officials is absolutely necessary. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves.

Exactly. What more and more decent Jews are beginning to realize is that this pig, dying in agony now, is about to become an albatross that will bring disaster not only on Israel, but on the Jewish diaspora worldwide.
