Trump Wants Alcatraz Back: ‘The Rock’ to Cage America’s Worst?
1duckyboy replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
True. Before closing, some inmates escaped by scraping a hole through the concrete cell wall with spoons. The salty sea air/fog has taken it's toll on the place. The cost of transporting everything to the island prison by boat is also very expensive. It does have an amazing 360 degree view of the San Francisco bay though. -

Bangkok Grapples with Alarming Air Pollution Levels
1duckyboy replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
The Thai government has proposed fining polluters who exceed the government recommended pollution emissions. What a farce. The polluters will continue to pollute and pass the cost of the fines on to the consumers. The government will collect the fines and Thai air quality will continue to get worse, eventually resulting in a general increase in respiratory diseases and cancers. The only way to decrease pollution is to set limits for emissions and stop emissions producers from production if they can't meet the government set standards. It is an expensive fix as new technologies and equipment must be developed that add to the cost of the products. However, it does work. I've seen it work in Southern California in the '70-'80s when their smog problem was similar to Bangkok's -

Must Read Ex-Police Chief "Joe Ferrari" Commits Suicide in Thai Prison
1duckyboy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
On second thought, with him having killed a person during interrogation, the other convicts may have "helped" with his suicide. He would have been a target, no doubt. -

Must Read Ex-Police Chief "Joe Ferrari" Commits Suicide in Thai Prison
1duckyboy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
"investigated by local police and prison officials" Maybe he has enough evidence on higher ups that a phony suicide was done with another poor soul as his body double. He could be out of the country now. TIT -

I'm waiting for the PM to declare her father a special emissary, or some such, who represents Thailand at the ASEAN meeting, thus circumventing his travel ban. Pardon my cynicism. -

Pattaya Gears Up for Music Fest with Massive Security Force
1duckyboy replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
There is a terror alert issued by the U.S. embassy in Thailand for U.S. citizens in Thailand. Since the Uyghers were sent to China, Uygher sympathizers may attack Thailand, especially areas of tourist concentrations. Maybe the Thai government is exercising a rare example of it being proactive with it's show of force at the festival. Making knowledge of a possible terrorist attack public would be too much to ask as it might hurt tourist numbers. -
Did Trump bring shame upon the US with his Zelensky lecture?

I feel sorry for the loyal Trump supporters who are now conflicted by their love for Trump and their hatred of communism, Russia and Putin. -
