  1. How likely that Trump remembers next week that there is even a Federal Reserve Chairman? https://www.independent.co.uk/ "Donald Trump appeared not to recall having been the president who first appointed Federal Reserve Board of Governors Chair Jerome Powell to the position he has held since 2018 — the second year of Trump’s first term." "president possibly remembered that he was the one who nominated Powell to the job as a successor to Janet Yellen during his first term, and added that he had been surprised by Powell’s re-appointment to a second term by his successor and predecessor, President Joe Biden."
  2. "Fed Chair Powell responds to White House questions about HQ renovation", published July 17 2025. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/17/powell-trump-vought-renovation.html "Powell pointed to a newly launched page on the Fed’s public website dedicated to answering questions about the project, which is over budget. He also batted down accusations by OMB director Russell that the renovated buildings will feature luxurious amenities like a private elevator, VIP lunch rooms or a rooftop garden."
  3. Notably the Trump tariffed Kingdom of Penguins has no military budget.
  4. Israel will raise defense spending by NIS 42 billion ($12.5 billion) in 2025 and 2026. https://www.timesofisrael.com/ This does not include $4 billion in US military assistance to Israel. https://www.state.gov/
  5. Soproxen Naproxen Sodium 275mg manufactured that is similar to the American Aleve.
  6. An understated comment. The "unrest" has been a Malay Muslim insurrection over decades with thousands killed while Thai governments and the military seem unable to achieve any peaceful resolutions.
  7. When did it ever lose control since 1932?
  8. Just curious how driver made a statement to the police. Did police track him down (by whatever means) or did the driver come in to the police station on his own?
  9. The religion’s governing body in Thailand, the Supreme Sangha Council, can crack down on monk wrongdoing. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/may/15/thailand-buddhist-monks-bad-behaviour-crackdown What is it doing now and how well? From https://www.ibcworld.org/home/diaspora/Thailand : "In Thailand, the Buddhist government (represented by a Buddhist Head of State) recognizes the Sangha Supreme Council (Mahathera Samakhom) as the highest governing body for Buddhism. The Sangha Supreme Council is responsible for overseeing the administration and regulation of the Buddhist monastic community (Sangha) in Thailand. It consists of senior monks from the Theravada tradition and plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and standards of Buddhist monastic life in the country. (my italics) Additionally, the Department of Religious Affairs within the Ministry of Culture oversees Buddhist affairs and works in collaboration with various Buddhist organizations and institutions to promote and support Buddhism in Thailand." By government recognition and oversight, the SSC appears to be essentially an extension of the government. So presumably where does authority ultimately rest?
  10. Billions of baht comes directly from the Thai government.
  11. I am surprised Malaysia has no city in the top 15 cities. In the Top 10 Famous Cities in Asia 2025 for Singapore Travelers by Reporter Vidya Amalia Rimayanti, January 24, 2025 : Kuala Lumpur ranks 4th.
  12. I have only one body.
  13. So instead of identifying directly the vehicle itself, used AI to identify small part of the vehicle. How is that efficient?
  14. Not 100% but... Approximately 95% of the population in Thailand adheres to Theravada Buddhism.
