Pursuing the F-35 for the RTAF was a foolish move from the start. A better choice would have been the KA-50 from S. Korea. It costs under 30 million dollars and Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines have purchase the KA-50:

I wonder if the hospital will be pressured to let him go? I would attempt to negotiate a payment plan for the remainder of the bill. This is the time when an Embassy can get involved and work with the hospital and the family to ensure payments are made in the future. But just like the US Embassy I doubt the British Embassy wants any part of this. It would really look bad if his condition worsens while he is being “cared” for while waiting for the remainder of the bill to be paid. This is the “catch 22’ of this predicament: while he is in the hospital the bill keeps climbing. So as each day passes the current balance due gets higher and higher until he is discharged.

The owner might have a civil lawsuit against the person who made the comments. I grew up in California and the central part of the state is very different than the coast. IF one drives from Bakersfield to Fresno you might think "is this California or Arkansas".

You had me at "wife's boyfriend". I had a friend back in the US who was married with 5 kids. The wife had a condo and spent most of the time there. He did most of the child rearing. They had one rule: You can do whatever you like. Just don't tell me about it. This arrangement held up for 20 over years until the youngest child went to college.

I watched him for years on NBC and TBS. His best days are behind. I saw a few clips of him in BKK and in one bit he actually officiates a wedding. So it looks promising but if it is on HBO it might not have a wide audience. Also, his fan base is mostly Americans so might not have huge impact on tourism into LOS.

1) Non Imm O? 2) Non Imm OA ? This would be the first question that needs to be answered.

However, a duty officer at NYPD’s 18th precinct, who declined to be named, told TheWrap, “Nothing happened. It’s a bogus story. Don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers.” The 18th precinct is at 306 West 54th Street, the closest to where the chase took place. Key word: Bogus. Everytime a story about the fake princess is published I wait for Piers Morgan to respond. Piers had the taxi driver on his show. This cries of a desperate act to stay in the limelight. The most famous people who were famous for being famous were Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. At least they planned and executed incidents that were somewhat believable. Time for Harry and Meaghan to fade away.

First Class? No. I have lived in 4 other countries besides the US and LOS. I have also worked on several US State Department contracts which required a lot of time inside of US Embassies. The State Department is a large bureaucracy. The only things that change over the years are names and faces. DOS(Department of State) people are mostly elitists (they tend often mention that they went to an Ivy league school). Dealing with American Citizens who are in need of assistance is not a priority. Therefore, if I went to the BKK US Embassy with a sob story a consular office will listen and then offer me loan so I can book the cheapest flight back to the US. Of course this is after my passport is noted with a travel restriction until the loan is paid in full.

The US Embassy does not give advice to Americans who are out of money. They only offer a loan to get back to the US. They will not offer sympathy or empathy. Can you imagine how of these stories the US Embassy has heard over the years? Also, she probably does not have internet access.

The “Stranded Foreigner without money” stories are getting to be a regular occurrence. This causes people to become skeptical. This person’s story could be true but how many stories like this are printed on a regular basis. If she asks the US Embassy for help this will be the standard line: 1)Contact a relative or friend 2) The US Government can loan the money to get back home. If the US Embassy actually loans an American Citizen money a notation is made on the passport. This prevents the person from making an international trip until the loan is paid off.

My experience has been different. When I was living in Kuwait and I never realized an ATM could spit so much money I saw numerous Kuwaitis withdraw stacks of Kuwait Dinar. Kuwait Dinar was almost $4 to a single Kuwait Dinar.

What is the Thai word for Concierge? I knew a few Kuwaitis and Emiratis(you know people who pay $10,000 for First Class Airline tickets) and when they arrive at a hotel they want to be served and served and served.

What narrative. A defendant in a criminal trial can be found guilty. A defendant in a civil trial can be held liable. Also why would I start a GoFundme page for anyone? I believe it is you who has let the narrative get ahead.

Wealthy people from the Middle East are very demanding and have very high expectations. Doubt very few hotels in LOS can meet these expectations.

One is not found guilty in a civil trial.

I don’t watch Fox. What did they witness? The main claims in the lawsuit were 1) Sexual Assault/Rape 2) Defamation.

12 witnesses actually saw the sexual assault/rape back in 1996?

In my past life sometimes we called testify as testi-lie. Some will know what this means,

In civil court sworn witness testimony has more value than in criminal court. In criminal case sworn testimony is rarely enough for a unanimous conviction. But in this case it’s was enough to convince a 9 person jury.

A bond premium is cheaper than actually writing a check. Also, some cases get settled during the appeals process.

The new law might not apply if the alleged assault occurred years ago.

Yes because this case can be used to bolster any and all new claims.

One does not get convicted in civil court. A civil jury can only find in favor of the plaintiff(Carroll) or for the defendant(Trump). Getting a favorable judgement in civil court is easier than getting a conviction in criminal court. Also, civil trial juries are mostly 9 where criminal trials are 12. In criminal trials all 12 jurors must agree and in civil trials a 6 to 3 majority is a win. Today Donald lost but he will not have to pay for many years as he will appeal this judgement for years and years.

She might never see the money. Appeals on civil jury awards can take years. 27 years after the incident so statute of limitations has passed so this was her only course of action. Once this happens the floodgates will open wide and others will file as well.

Reentry Permits have an end date. My reentry permit end date is the same date when my current visa expires. So the end date of a reentry permit based upon a 30 Day Visa Exempt would be the same date.
