  1. Because an economics professor is always the were to go for expert analysis on Russia and Ukraine Jeffrey Sachs In 2013, he praised Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan for winning three consecutive general elections, “each time with a greater share of the popular vote,” without noting growing concerns about his repression of dissent. More recently, Sachs has downplayed concerns about China’s crackdown in Hong Kong and Xinjiang, including at a Chinese government online event hosted at a “guesthouse featuring traditional Uyghur-style decorations.” And in 2020, 16 months after the dismemberment of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, he flew to Riyadh to speak at a forum hosted by a Saudi investment firm. https://theintercept.com/2021/12/29/jeffrey-sachs-uae-happiness/
  2. Excellent tune, legend singer, the great Sir Rod Stewart. It would have been fantastic to have had that played in such a repressed country as Qatar
  3. Your links are a farce: https://www.weeklyblitz.net/ Run by: Uddin Shoaib Choudhury is a Bangladeshi journalist and the editor of the Bangladeshi newspaper 'Blitz'. Choudhury has faced a number of criminal charges against him including smuggling information out of the country, fraud, sedition, treason, blasphemy, and espionage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salah_Choudhury As for Sevim Dagdelen Sevim Dagdelen and Ukraine: The Left Party’s Donalda Trump The Bochum member of the Bundestag Sevim Dagdelen (left) is something like Sahra Wagenknecht’s sidekick. In articles and on social media, she spreads fake news against Ukraine and the West.
  4. The UN investigation is requested by Russia and based on the Hersh article. You know, the one with only one anonymous source. https://newsinfrance.com/the-un-said-there-was-no-mandate-to-investigate-the-undermining-of-the-nord-stream/ Note you're spending time on almayadeen.net "The channel says that its owners are anonymous Arab businessmen.[13] There is speculation about the funding of the channel. Many see the channel as a propaganda platform for Iran and Hezbollah and is funded by them" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Mayadeen
  5. "The Republican-led state attorney general’s office fought to keep Johnson locked up. A spokeswoman for the office, Madeline Sieren, said in an email that the office will take no further action in the case. She again defended the office’s push to keep Johnson behind bars." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/14/lamar-johnson-freed-28-years-missouri-prison
  6. Told me? You should reload and fire that failed shot at this bunch of loons: Multiple Republican members of Congress publicly urged Americans to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon which made it’s way across the United States this week, before the Biden Administration sent fighter jets to bring it down. Leading the call was Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a close ally of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who has a history of stoking outrage for past remarks and associations with white nationalists. https://nypost.com/2023/02/04/gop-urged-americans-to-shoot-down-chinese-spy-balloon/
  7. You missed the reviews in my post and I'll add my own observations from driving past and seeing the customer base numerous times along with personal feedback from friends who have attended. To imply the ladyboy cabaret shows in Phuket that I cited are not family entertainment is having your head in the sand. However you carry on the rhetoric that you would instead take children to a go go bar if you had to have a choice between the two.
  8. So you think this should be ignored by families? Simon Cabaret Show is meant for viewers of all age groups, so you can accompany your family to the show. https://www.thailand-tourism.net/attractions/phuket/simon-cabaret-show/ SIMON CABARET A FAMILY FRIENDLY SHOW FOR ALL!!! WOW what a wonderful experience the dancers of Simon Cabaret offer you. From interesting colourful costumes from a bygone era, to amazing dance moves https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g297931-d1479765-r306857144-Phuket_Simon_Cabaret-Kathu_Phuket.html A must-see show for travelers in Phuket for the first time. · The show is family-friendly and suitable for all ages https://www.viator.com/Phuket-attractions/Simon-Cabaret-Show/overview/d349-a274
  9. Perhaps it was meant to remind the famous "disclosure" by Mike Pompeo, we cheated etc... Nothing to do with Pompeo. Prigozhin is admitting just now (yesterday), to meddling in the 2016 elections and Nov last year mid terms.
  10. You don't have to go to a cabaret show in Phuket when there are dozens of vids and hundreds of reviews from real customers who have been do you? Sorry when my mum came over for a visit it was not an item on her agenda.
  11. Cool, you've been to one more show than me, hope your mum liked the entertainment but what makes you think? "But you, probably a regular with those ladyboys" did you read my previous posts? Where did you come up with such a notion? Great they are able to get some tips for photos, I've also seen the hordes of tourists, mostly Chinese families, women in particular who also surround the ladyboys standing outside after a show. Yes certainly possible a single male, female or even couple may get something more than just a pic, if the ladyboys will do that, however if a guy or couple wants a ladyboy then they are far more likely just to head to a ladyboy bar where there are dozens eager to be snapped up by customers same as a go go bar, rather than a Cabaret Show. source
  12. So you call a gogo bar a glorified whore house. Yep, never seen hordes of single men queuing outside the ladyboy cabarets waiting to get in. Have you seen the queues? I'd be careful with the flame calling me ignorant................... source
  13. You're lucky Marjorie Green wasn't there, she would have had everyone aim their AR-15's at it.
  14. I disagree, if there "had" to be a choice to take children to see a show then taking them to glorified whore house with men waiting to pay for sex or a ladyboy cabaret is a no brainier Source Source
  15. There will be a fair proportion of affected women who may not have your opinion. Pence also wants a nationwide, all state ban on abortion, in addition to a ban on the contraceptive pill.
  16. No idea, I doubt it. But you responded to my post that was referring to shows not schools based on the OP "bills, which seek to ban children from drag performances" Regards in school then personally I see no need for in person drag or ladyboy sessions in any country as I would expect adequate sexual and social education would cover differing gender issues. Oh wait, I hear they are stopping that also in the US
  17. And your so-called "perspective" does not allow for the remnants of rebound growth post Covid It does if you read the article
  18. Yes things are different here in Thailand, they are more accepting of ladyboy shows without the need to scream and charge parents with a crime if they take their kids to one. Just as it should be in the US
  19. "Nothing" Oh so you just added it for fun I thought the graph and link put that in perspective? "Taking the longer view, economic growth during Mr Biden's first year in office (from January 2021) was greater than under both Presidents Trump and Obama."
  20. Terrible comparison, go go bars provide a lot more than visual entertainment for men waiting to bar fine the girls and some of their shows are far more graphic than any ladyboy show. In fact just last week I dropped off my daughter (15) to meet up with her friends near Bangla Road for a lazer tag venue. I expressly told her not to venture into Bangla as it was not the place for teen girls, I picked her up from Jungceylon in the evening.
  21. And what? The statistics are there for you to see, what needs adding?
  22. There's a very dark underbelly of extreme right wing loons who would like to control and censor what parents can or can't do, what teachers can or cannot teach. From OP link: "Last month, five armed members of the Proud Boys, a far-right group with a history of violence, confronted families attending a Salt Lake City show." Here's the no paywall link to the Washington Post article. https://archive.ph/6BxX8 What next, ban TV because some parents may let their children watch a show they consider not suitable? Of course parents have to show responsibility and some fail but lets get this in perspective, drag shows? Here in Phuket there's 2 or 3 large ladyboy cabaret and comedy shows that are packed nightly, I've never been but they are not touted as adults only and judging by the bus loads of tourists that go nightly its just entertainment.
  23. I've expressed my opinion based on history and previous lies: In high-stakes meeting, Russia tells U.S. it isn't planning to invade Ukraine
