How about malware on her phone? Banking apps are dangerous, especially people who are not tech savvy.

Maybe there is a keylogger malware on your computer. Aside from the antivirus software on your computer, there are scans available online to seek out and neutralize such malware.

My bank abolished online banking and said that customers should use their banking app. I will never do that. Fortunately I had already chosen to get a text message if there are withdrawals exceeding 5000 Baht. Of course that was set up through online banking. This is for a passbook account. If customers want to get such a text message service, can they set this up at their bank branch, or is the only option using the banking app? The latter would be bad, since once a banking app has been downloaded, that might open the customer up to illicit withdrawals, even if he/she deleted the app right after setting up the text message service. That's my fear, anyway.

Turley is a fairly brilliant reactionary. The Supreme Court seems to have dumped the majority "originalist" line with the decision declaring presidents above the law. This kind of hypocisy is becoming rather typical for the ROP (Reactionary Opportunist Party).

Concerning (2), I assume that you are thinking of transferring from an account where funds are not going in, and there is no ongoing income. I'm skeptical. If you have income from any source, to my mind normally that would count first, regardless of the account (outside Thailand) from which funds were transferred.

Their FAQ doesn't seem to work.

If you look into the problem with the Sandy Hook conspiracy theory by Alex Jones, the awarded damages resulted because the parents of the dead kids were subject to serious harassment by people who listened to the Alex Jones podcast and were enraged. Is anyone harassing the families of those injured or killed in the Trump assassination attempt? Apples and oranges.

The independents are where the most non-committed votes reside, but the racist part could also include some traditional Republicans who might cross over.

Several analysts remarked that it would be better for there to be a mini-primary to affirm Harris or select someone else as the nominee. This would keep voters from thinking that the grassroots is being ignored in the choice of Biden's replacement.

Unfortunately there are too many closet racists with misogynistic tendencies in Amerika to make a Harris-Whitmer ticket viable.

Amy Klobuchar has the qualities, but her Senate term ends this cycle, so it would be a very risky decision to run for president.

Over the years the Saudis have been quite involved in helping the Palestinians diplomatically. The tried to reconcile Hamas and Fatah.

Hamas felt that the possibility of Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords could lead to annexation of the West Bank and ehtnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Although the Kingdom was insisting that there be an irreversible two-state solution, that apparently would have followed the same negociation model as the Oslo Accords. Thirty years of that has shown that it is an unworkable process. Now public opinion in the Kingdom would not allow such a deal to proceed.

The US prevents the passage of a Security Council resolution that would authorize sanctions, an international force to replace the IDF in the West Bank, etc. However, individual countries have and can sanction Israel, but it will take a lot of countries doing so to move the immovable settlers.

As I understand it, there is a concept that sounds like a guardian. It's called "pipat". The problem is that the court will name such a person, though if you have a local lawyer he might be able to steer this to someone that you trust. As for a trust, the law is based on European law where trusts don't exist, so you could set up a trust in the UK with a responsible family member as trustee (to avoid prohibitive fees). This would limit the incentive for the local court et al to abuse their power to appoint a profiteer.

The pandemic experience is forcing a rethink. Since China is an historical source of pandemics, now the thinking is to curtail outsourcing to China and shorten the supply chain. In the US case, that means more manufacturing relocated to Mexico. Still, Thailand will get some of the industry moving out of China, but higher-end production is more likely moving to Malaysia or other countries with a well-educated workforce.

To make comparisons, it would be better to compare median incomes than GDP per capita.

BBC reported this morning that Trump has written a new speech for the Republican COnvention. Hopefully, he will tone down the rhetoric.

For some reason Kamala strikes me as a Hilary analogue, so not interesting and not electable.

Whitmer is good, but there's also Amy Klobuchar. I agree that it would be better to have Whitmer than Harris, considering that Harris has to carry the baggage of Ukraine & Gaza. How about Cory Booker for the VP slot? Check out his education. He would be an excellent follow on to Whitmer in 8 years, to be hoped.

Biden should have set to work after the 2000 election to have a plan in place. Unfortunately, bureaucrats on the ground seem to have been in a bubble until provinces started falling day after day. It was much too late by then. I think that the writing was on the wall as early as 2006 that it was only a matter of time before the Taliban returned to power.

It's about time that the State Department be reformed. Their doddering bureaucracy is not fit to handle a humanitarian crisis of the magniture of the Afghan debacle. Maybe it needs a unit that can respond by cutting through the endless hurdles to get the job done early with time to spare. It would need power to override resistance from the ninnies higher up, to communicate and coordinate directly with military and intelligence.
