Good move.

Democrats Face Backlash for Supporting Arrested Palestinian Activist Mahmoud Khalil
The US Democrats have lost the plot - bought out by US big business. Time for some new progressive political parties to appear in the USA.

Thailand missed out!

Of course, Putin wants to control all of Europe.

Thailand Defends Uyghur Repatriation Amid US Criticism
Thailand's international credibility takes another hit. Why are the Thai ultra-nationalists not complaining about or demonstrating against the Government for bringing Thailand's reputation into international (bar China) disrepute? Where are you Khun Sondhi?

Ukraine must cede territory in peace talks, says US
Will Trump soon be ceding Hawaii, Alaska to Canada, south-western USA back to Mexico, etc.? I think not.

Phuket is not Thailand anymore
Agreed. I first came to Thailand in 1974 - travelled to most provinces over the next 6-7 years. It was a great experience. Everything has changed, everywhere, not just Thailand.

The Lefts Response to America & Trump:Tesla Terrorism and ….
One person's terrorist, is another person's freedom fighter. Ask the Statue of Liberty who is what.

Russia Rejects Trump's Temporary Ukraine Ceasefire Offer
Not surprised, Putin wants total control, and to achieve what Hitler could not.

U.S. Visa Sanctions Target Thai Officials Over Uyghur Deportation
"If China invades ..."? It seems that China has already invaded!!! Chinese tourists (but really so many Chinese criminals - check the Thai daily press reports), cheap Chinese produce, so many Chinese businesses (as well as China-controlled Chinese-Thai businesses), and soon a high-speed train to move the PLA into Thailand, as well as Chinese military bases in Cambodia and Myanmar.

Thai Tax Info Required for Overseas Bank Account
I have had the same issue with my Australian banks (which have my address in Thailand). I have explained that, thus far, although I have been at times a tax resident of Thailand, I have never remitted assessable income to Thailand, and thus I do not need to submit a Thai tax form, and thus I do not have a Thai TIN. This explanation has been accepted by my banks in Australia.

The new enemy: The rest of the world.
If a significant minority of the American voters (about 49.8%) knowingly voted for the unstable psychopath, then they are getting what they voted for. No use complaining about massive inflation (short-term pain according to Trump), increased unemployment, loss of international allies, closure of government programmes and departments, etc. as this is what you voted for USA - a fascist republic. And the now useless Democrats - you people really need to get your act together. Probably time for new political parties in the USA.

British Embassy Faces Rising Consular Case Demands in Thailand
At least the British Embassy is doing something for British nationals in Thailand, unlike the Australians!! Have been following the Oz Embassy FB page for yonks, and cannot recall anything relating to consular affairs being posted (maybe my memory is at fault 5 5 5).

Hua Hin not listed .... thankfully.

Is Thailand’s healthcare more affordable than in the West?
It all depends on what country/countries in the West one is referring to.

Another example of Trump's IQ level
Stupid is, stupid does; "American Idiot".

Inflation Cools, Showing Trump is Right and his Critics were WRONG AGAIN
Ignorance is bliss. Normally, one has to wait a few months for the impact of economic/financial policy changers to begin to register in the data, and about 6 months for the near-full impact to be registered.

Democrats Face Backlash for Supporting Arrested Palestinian Activist Mahmoud Khalil
The Democrats have lost the plot; with their move to the right, it is not surprising that many big donors are holding back of more funding.

Elon Musk Claims X Was Targeted in a ‘Massive Cyberattack’ from the ‘Ukraine Area’
Excuses excuses excuses.

Russia Rejects Trump's Temporary Ukraine Ceasefire Offer
Naturally, why should Putin compromise when he thinks he is in a winning position, just like Hitler in mid 1944?
-
Donald Trump has upended millions of lives in his first 50 days in office
Hundreds of millions more likely. Yet, although many of Trump's one-eyed supporters and followers are still wearing their orange coloured glasses, many others have come to the realisation that they have been conned by the snake oil salesman. Time will tell.

7-11 and Plastic bags...What about the Turtles and Global Warming?
CraP .. 7-11 does not care about the environment, only profits. Were not CraP's food profits up about 457%, yes 457%, last year over the previous year? CraP is good at greenwashing.

Activists Vandalize Trump’s Turnberry Golf Course in Pro-Palestinian Protest
I suspect the first of many more incidents to come; especially from the Trump-voting MAGA supporters who feel betrayed and are now suffering because of Trump's changes.
