China preparing for war with US, Air Force secretary says
China will give Senator Tuberville (R-Alabama) a hero medal for blocking confirmations of heads of 3 branches of services besides huge numbers of generals and admirals. Remember Stalin's problem after he executed 100's of his generals in WW2? Tuberville is the same sort of lunatic

Biden impeachment inquiry: McCarthy says House will investigate president
The Republicans are architects of their own downfall: by gerrymandering and making districts "election proof" (near impossible for demo to win), they also ensured that if far right got in, there wouldn't be enough to get them out. Attempts at sanity and/or moderation candidates get tossed out in primaries.

Former senator proposes ways to cut energy prices
How about promoting energy conservation as opposed to more generation? Major savings could be had if there were regulations regarding how cold air conditioning can be. Malls, offices, theaters: the temp is so low one needs a jacket or blanket. I can only take 15-20 minutes in some malls... Maybe 15 yrs ago I read a study regarding energy savings, and the numbers were huge. Sorry I don't have it anymore to share....

Thailand eyes growth in pink economy by attracting international LGBTQ+ retirees
and so here you are, discriminating as a nation status rather than race, and you are fine with that! Hypocrisy at it's finest. I've been all over the world and I've yet to go to a country without some sort of discrimination

Innocent man freed after 80 days due to mistaken identity in Thai drug case
Don't the moronic police, etc take fingerprints, mug shots, etc? Would not be that difficult to compare I know this isn't the west, but seems he is owed compensation for the 80 days he couldn't work (probably fired from his job), emotional stress on him and family (how could they afford rent/food/etc), and sanctions on the idiots who put him in jail

Deadly Altercation Erupts Among Friends Over 'Hitler' Drawing
Jeez... does the author not know the word 'swastika'? Hitler symbol? could be stylized SS for all we know. "The argument began when Set playfully drew a 'Hitler' symbol on Saul's head,..." Would not have happened if youths were Thai and not Filipino American: Thais are stupendously ignorant regarding Hitler, WW2, etc. Remember when students included Hitler in super heroes mural?

TCC Outlines 3-Point Revival Plan for Thai Economy
The number one way to accelerate economy is to rid Thailand of corruption (fat chance, right?). But all the kickbacks, payoffs and bribes are like an excise tax, except that the money does not help with infrastructure, services, etc etc.. Okay, slight "trickle down" as villas etc built from ill gotten gains, and I suppose mia nois spending helps a bit
