Fetterman Slams Mamdani After Primary Win: “Not Even a Democrat”
Over 10 years ago I used to support J Street, gave donations to some of their preferred Dem candidates. Then I watched them live on the Internet cozying up to Likud, practically sycophants. Now I support JVP. Now you say that J Street are anti-Netanyahu. Have they finally woken up?

I looked at your link. He is in the center, not far from some centrist Republicans. There has been talk that he might defect to the Republicans.

Rumbling in the Swamp: Quiet Talks Begin to Launch a Viable Third Party in U.S. Politics
The hard core MAGA could be around 35% of electorate. Your 20% could amount to 10% of the electorate, but the 3rd party can also be expected to draw from the Dems as well. People are also fed up with the Dems. The point is that the winner does not need over 50% in a 3-party race.

I have orthophnoea, nocturnal problem
Looking up the definition, it seems worse than apnea. It speaks of heart failure. "It often arises from fluid accumulation in the lungs due to heart failure, where the weakened heart struggles to pump blood effectively, leading to increased pressure in the pulmonary vessels." (orthopnoea meaning - AI Overview from googling).

Rohingya Militancy Risks New Crisis on Bangladesh Border
The Rohingya should be on the side of the Arakan Army, in opposing the government that committed genocide on them. Instead it seems that these militants are only seeing opportunity to do a power grab, but in the process undermining the resistance to the junta.

Be aware of this even if you have Health insurance cover!!!
If your assets are in another country, it would be prudent for someone in that country to have the PoA. In Thailand you could have a document to provide for a 'pipat' (guardian?), who can act in your behalf if you don't have a family member here. The complication is that the 'pipat' is appointed by the Court and may not necessarily follow the preference of the individual whom you have designated beforehand.

Rumbling in the Swamp: Quiet Talks Begin to Launch a Viable Third Party in U.S. Politics
What a third party did in 1992 was to have Clinton elected with 40% of the vote. A third party this time could well lead to a Republican victory, because the radical Trump faction is around 35% of the electorate, and there will not be that many Republican office holders defecting to a third party.

Can foreigners really own condos or can they still lose access like with land lease?
I'm not a specialist. Presumanbly, the building and land are registered in the name of an association. Why not look into this. Do they have decision-making provisions, such as flow-through of expenses, repairs, even eventual transformation of the building?

Back Kachin, Not the Junta: US Policy Faces Reckoning in Myanmar
The first ten years of Burma's statehood was a trial period where the Shan states, etc, would decide whether or not to remain in the Union of Burma. It was supposed to be a federation, but the military didn't like the federation concept. If the junta can be junked, maybe the people should try again at having a federation.

How can I minimise import duty on my personal use musical instruments?
I did this 20 years ago. No tax on electronics. Later I shipped a 50 year old grand piano and used a broker. The charge was reasonable, and I am not aware of any import duty.

Thailand's unilateral border maps possibly responsible for tensions with Cambodia
It's technical, but there is a principle in the case of a previous ruling, where. if there were new evidence relating to the 1907 French map, Thailand could contest the previous Preah Vihar decision. In the current case, Thailand seems to be asserting its maps as evidence of where the border is located, so it's up to the ICJ to decide which country is in the right. I believe that Thailand could also refuse to engage in the ICJ case, without giving a reason. If analysis shows that Thailand has a case on reviewing the 1962 ruling, it should insist that its claims be reviewed as well as the current Cambodian claims.

Thailand's unilateral border maps possibly responsible for tensions with Cambodia
Maybe Thailand should go to the ICJ with a very good law firm this time, and hopefully the opposing party will not have a retired US foreign minister as its legal counsel. Remember that 1962 was in the Cold War era. Also, now the 1907 map can be forensically investigated. It makes no sense that Cambodia would have one bit of territory on the top of an escarpment that delineates the dividing line between the countries.
