That is a crock of excrement.....surely you can't believe that which you wrote?? Trump is on the side where he can make money and grift and lie to his goobers. Perhaps you are one of trump's favourite people??

Slight amendment to my post above, inasmuch as the mRNA vaccine has taken around 30 years from initial studies to be put into use for humans (and all the testing that entails), and as above, shows great promise in treating other illnesses in humans.........

Heightened scrutiny perhaps but very little, if anything, is being done about this and the dangerous condition of the roads in Patong, for example.

Agree with your comment about "total and utter humiliation", they are a bunch of f/wits, and some, and all driven by donny and HIS f/wits. It certainly is a Clown Show and non-MAGA Americans should be ashamed as to how low the US has sunk under trump.

And this shows whose side trump is on........ Zelenskyy said that Washington was still pushing it to cede land to Russia as part of an agreement to end the war that started with Moscow’s February 2022 invasion. Washington wants only Ukraine, not Russia, to withdraw its troops from parts of the eastern Donetsk region, where a demilitarised “free economic zone” would be installed as a buffer between the two armies, Zelenskyy told reporters, including from AFP. Zelenskyy also pushed back against the idea of a unilateral Ukrainian withdrawal in the Donetsk region. “Why doesn’t the other side of the war pull back the same distance in the other direction?” he said, adding there were “a great many questions” still unresolved. So Russia invades a country and trump and his cohorts want Uraine to cede their territory, cut back on the armed forces and not join NATO......this is a crock from trump and Putin which trump was going to put an end to in 24 hours!! Not whilst Vlad has the trump pics and tapes he won't.

This video of the Capitol riot should make Americans ashamed.....but the Trumpies and MAGAs describe it as a peaceful "demonstration", which goes to show that they are living in Cloud Cuckoo Land and/or are members of the MAGA cult and morons.

Something which has just come to mind after I had posted about the myths surrounding mRNA is the fact that Alexander Fleming, after "discovering" penicillin, did have some success at testing this new "antibiotic", but it was a few years later that he realized that this substance possessed powerful antibacterial properties, capable of destroying harmful microbes without harming human cells. However, the path from his initial observation to a usable medicine was not immediate. Although Fleming published his findings, he struggled to purify and stabilize the substance for mass production and clinical use. It wasn't until the work of scientists Howard Florey and Ernst Chain much later that Penicillin was successfully refined and developed into the stable, life-saving drug we know today. Fleming discovered the Penicillin mold in 1928 and it wasn’t until 1940/41 that it was being used to treat soldiers in WW2 after tests on animals proved successful. So this penicillin took some 12 years to become a success, and now mRNA has taken about the same time to prove that it is successful and could well end up to be a major breakthrough in treating cancers and other serious illnesses/diseases.

And has an administration who have publicly declared their hatred for trump.....so how come these retards are running the show??

Then of course it will meet with disapproval from the trump administration backers, far right and their corruption and nonsense..... "The commentariat’s push to paint Netflix as aligned with Democrats and a liberal agenda adds to a swirl of controversy and intrigue circling what would be one of the largest media mergers in recent history. It amounts to an online appeal from the right to a Trump Administration that has the authority to review a deal of this size under anti-trust laws and has shown itself willing to intervene in media deals - and to lend an ear to right-wing influencers. Johnson, Posobiec and Loomer are part of an ascendant class of conspiracy-minded, pro-Trump new-media commentators that has enjoyed special access to the Administration. Whether their message about Netflix is finding an audience in the White House is not yet clear". https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/laura-loomer-and-other-right-wing-media-figures-have-cast-netflix-as-a-democratic-stronghold/NWHQB32DCBFZLMGCQTUBBHJ3RQ/

Just watched Sicario, with Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro....and what a movie that is; loved it.

Got this from a movie I watched just recently.......when a guy was asked if he believed in god, he replied, "I have no need of that hypothesis", which I thought was a great answer.!!

Trawling through the movies on BBC iPlayer I came across one which took my fancy, called, "Ice Cold in Alex" starring John Mills, Anthony Quayle, Harry Andrews and Sylvia Sims, amongst others, and the reason it took my fancy was because: – 1). My father fought with Montgomery in the eighth Army against Rommel and his forces in North Africa (Libya). 2). I worked in Libya in 1970 and explored some of the northern part. 3). I also worked in Libya in 1975/76 and experienced a lot of "adventures" in the Sahara desert and also came across what we believed to be the remnants of a battle fought by the British "long-range desert force". So I was keen to see what the movie was like and although it was in black and white, it brought back many memories and I enjoyed it.

And the latest is, hardship for the soybean farmers in the USA: – "Illinois is the top soybean producer in the US, and Jackson noted that many soybean growers voted for Trump, hoping that he would solve their economic challenges. But Jackson argued that the President is seeking to put a band-aid on a problem he caused". Jackson estimated that farmers “are going to need hundreds of billions of dollars” to make it out of the current crisis. “He had a scorched-earth policy that has been ill-conceived and now poorly executed, and this is only the start of the bailout process,” he said. “Had [Trump] stayed out of imposing tariffs and out of making our products too expensive to be exported, we would be in a better position.” https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/farmers-have-felt-the-impact-of-the-us-governments-tariff-policies/2I3KGNZTFZB4XFWEFW6CS6ATKI/ So TACO trump has to try and sort out the mess which he created......sound familiar??

Apparently of the Epstein girls made a date with Hawking one evening, and later on when his friends saw him, his glasses were broken, he had cuts and bruises all over the place and his ankles were sprained, and when they asked what happened, apparently the girl had "stood him up".....sorry about that, I'll get my coat!!

A while back I seem to recall someone sending me a video (perhaps from Facebook) which purported to show that the huge stones used in the building of the pyramids and suchlike, were in fact "constructed" by utilising the power of the sun through a prism which was supposedly capable of "melting?" certain types of rock, so the resulting melt could be poured into position and when set, formed perfect structures. I never believed it, however a friend was quite keen on that theory!!

I did notice the newly refurbished Wine Connection in Central, but as I've never eaten there, I wouldn't have any idea about the price of the food. However from what I can remember of my Patong Wine Connection experience, the food was "reasonably priced" and I have enjoyed their pasta dishes in the past. However my next restaurant visit will be to Churrasco (again) because it is superb and as I don't really worry about restaurant prices, then it's definitely on the cards, as will be a visit to La Capaninna for some good Italian food.

Felt the urge to watch a movie I have watched about 3 times already, called, "The Man From Earth" and still enjoyed it as IMO the story, the acting and the challenge of the overall belief system are cleverly woven into the story.....just great.

Tried to watch it, however found it boring so deleted it after episode 3, but thanks for the tip on it anyway!

Agree......and once posters mention "Fauci and Bill Gates" as being behind Covid, you know they are on a slippery slope to stupidity.

Some interesting info re Vaccinations and then I'm out of this thread for anti-vax nut jobs..... Irreversible damage': What a forensic pathologist sees in bodies of Covid patients The SARS-CoV-2 virus has a predilection to attack endothelial cells, the pavers of the blood vessel highways that feed all your organs. In the same way that damaged roads cause traffic backups and crashes, damaged endothelial cells cause blood clots, which then cause strokes and heart attacks. We've always known that Covid-19 attacks the lungs and heart, but we're now also learning that the virus targeting blood vessels is causing long-term, irreversible damage to the whole body. Pathologists like me see it as blood clots and fatal damage in the organs of patients who have died after having recovered from Covid. When we put their brain tissue under the microscope, we find inflammatory cells surrounding blood vessels, and the dead nerve cells that result. There are sickly pale white scars in the heart muscle, which interrupt signal delivery in its electrical system. In the lungs, tissue that should be empty spaces ready to fill with air are incompletely repaired. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/irreversible-damage-what-a-forensic-pathologist-sees-in-bodies-of-covid-patients/ACGWN36Y5ANWDZKZV2WUUIG6MI/ MYTH: The COVID vaccines were not rigorously tested, which is why they have only emergency authorization approval and not full Food and Drug Administration approval. (Update: Pfizer’s vaccine received full FDA approval on August 19) FACT: “Vaccine developers didn’t skip any testing steps, but conducted some of the steps on an overlapping schedule to gather data faster.”—Johns Hopkins Medicine MYTH: The technology used to create the COVID vaccines is too new to be safe. FACT: The technology used, called messenger RNA, or mRNA, is not new. Research on it actually began in the early 1990s, and two diseases that are very close to COVID—SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) in 2003, and MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome)—helped bring the mRNA vaccine development to present day use.—Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Understanding mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines AND plenty more here………https://www.bu.edu/articles/2021/myths-vs-facts-covid-19-vaccine/ and finally..... One more which shows promise for the future.... Clinical advances of mRNA vaccines for cancer immunotherapy https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39798545/

I wonder if "Impulse" knows that the vaccines are NOT MANDATORY!! LOL

I really don't have time to argue with you, especially as your initial post was disinformation, which meant that you were "massaging" information to suit your own agenda. Furthermore, "To be clear, this is not 70 injections (or shots), because many of these vaccines are grouped together as a "combination" shot. For example, DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis), and MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) are combination shots. Sometimes there are five or even six vaccines combined into one, for example, DTaP, Hepatitis B, Hib, and Polio (named by the manufacturer as "Vaxelis"). Parents are often unaware of how many vaccines their children are receiving when they take their children to well-visits because they are receiving multiple vaccines per injection". And you were focusing on the mRNA aspect of some vaccines, which many of the vaccines quoted above do not employ as a feature of their functionality. So given the fact that you were quite ready to post disinformation to suit your case, I suggest you go and join the other wackos on this forum who believe that there is no such thing as a virus, or a bacteria and that God has a cure for everything, because that's where you belong. And for the record, thinking back I probably have had scores of vaccinations and injections, given that I worked overseas in various "high risk" countries and I'm still okay, so I will put you on ignore so I won't have to put up with your nonsense

He should be removed with a record like his, and this despicable creature would deserve it.....but Donny only hires the best people. Yeah right!

I should have made myself a little clearer, inasmuch as although I have had three Covid shots, I really don't believe in having a flu shot or shots for similar viruses/illnesses, otherwise it's quite possible one could amass a fair amount of vaccinations. I know what ribonucleic acid does and I am all in favour of the mRNA research and vaccinations currently underway using this technology, and as I said earlier it has shown great promise in combating other diseases and long may it continue. For the record, "The statement that the today's CDC regimen is around 80 vaccinations is incorrect. The number of doses recommended varies significantly by age and individual health factors, but the total number of vaccines or doses across a lifetime does not approach 80 as a routine regimen". And the above is typical of the "anti-vax" misinformation which is bandied around by those who are anti-vax type folk.

That would certainly seem to be the case and whilst I don't care if these idiots are injured/die from their stupidity, I certainly don't want to be one that suffers because of it. On that subject, there are a fair amount of "longstay" farangs here who just don't wear a helmet and they should be easy targets for the police/traffic police, however nothing is ever done about this and in ensuring that the law is followed!
