What makes you say that? Facts are facts as is evidence. I thought I just made that clear. Obviously you find that a little difficult to digest.

Evidence/facts does it for me.

Coming soon to the occupied territories............................. Oleksiy Danilov interview: Ukraine counter-offensive 'ready to begin' Ukraine is ready to launch its long-expected counter-offensive against Russian forces, one of the country's most senior security officials has told the BBC. Oleksiy Danilov would not name a date but said an assault to retake territory from President Vladimir Putin's occupying forces could begin "tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or in a week". He warned that Ukraine's government had "no right to make a mistake" on the decision because this was an "historic opportunity" that "we cannot lose". https://www.bbc.com/news/world-65725004

I agree but there is certainly some other sources to back this up: 3 scientists behind Putin's 'unstoppable' missiles were jailed on charges of treason. Russian researchers say they are now living in fear. In an open letter Monday, members of Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Russian Academy of Sciences' Siberian Branch, which is based in Novosibirsk, said the arrests were having a chilling effect on research. The weapons, often falsely described as hypersonic, are a type of advanced air-launched ballistic missile capable of carrying over a 1,000 pounds of explosives. Russia has long described the Kinzhal as an unstoppable hypersonic weapon that it claims is capable of overcoming all known air defense systems. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/3-scientists-behind-putins-unstoppable-131941440.html

Its called investigative journalism, you know, that pesky thing that uncovers secrets and things that would otherwise go unnoticed. Its what democracies have.

Tom was once voted the most trusted man in the US Some excerpts from his speech... The American Way, he noted, took root here, in the American Revolution, despite chattel slavery, despite the relegation of Native Americans to subhuman status. Now, “All of us, no exceptions, are entitled to inalienable rights of liberty and freedom because…we live in the United States of America.” But those rights are under attack because they depend on “the language of telling the Truth,” and “Truth to some, is no longer empirical, no longer based on data, nor common sense, nor even common decency—telling the truth is no longer the benchmark for public service, no longer the salve to our fears nor the guide to our actions.” Truth is vulnerable to those who “play fast and loose” with synonymns for truth such as honesty and honor “to create enemies, to claim victimhood, to raise the mediocre into merit, and to make cloudy a vista that is actually crystal clear.” Most of all, it is vulnerable to indifference: https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2023/05/commencement-exercises-tom-hanks

Its usually the first with MTG Greene doubled down when pressed on her “over the top” remarks in the past, including calling Democrats a “party of pedophiles.”

Turns out that Salinas who made the complaint on the poem used to post nazi and right wing propoganda on her facebook page. Months before a Miami-area mother persuaded a local school to restrict access to an Amanda Gorman poem, she was posting antisemitic memes on her Facebook page. Now, Daily Salinas is apologizing for one of those things — and unrepentant about the other. “I want to apologize to the Jewish community,” Salinas told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency on Wednesday. She was saying sorry for a Facebook post she shared in March offering a summary of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” a notorious antisemitic forgery written more than a century ago in Russia. https://www.timesofisrael.com/florida-mom-who-sought-to-ban-amanda-gorman-poem-sorry-for-protocols-facebook-post/

I guess a book is easier than taking on the gun nuts. Along with the book whats needed is: Banning of AR-15 style firearms, ban of high-capacity magazines, establishing universal background checks, national red flag laws and firearm storage requirements. That's just the start. Of course not sure about that book in Florida, its a Disney character, DeSantis may ban it........................

Just last week in Phoenix another potential disaster was avoided when a teen carry an adapted Ar-15 fully automatic rifle brought it into school with ammo. "The 15-year-old accused of bringing an AR-15 to his Phoenix high school last week also allegedly possessed a device that would allow the weapon to function as a fully automatic machine gun, according to court documents exclusively obtained by NBC News." https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/arizona-high-schooler-ar-15-machine-gun-phoenix-rcna86283

Stewart Rhodes, 18 years & Kelly Meggs, 12 years in prison. Insurrectionists. Perhaps when sentence is finished deport them to a nice little town being built in Russia for loons like this.

Russians didn't know the UK Challenger Tanks eat Dragons Teeth for breakfast........................

First is decide what curriculum you want for your children and which schools offer it. The UK Cambridge curriculum that ends with A levels or BTEC or the more US style, not sure of their exams and certificates? We opted for the UK Cambridge seeing as I'm from the UK and my daughter will probably end up in Uni over there. This being in Phuket though, not Bangkok. There are a few good Schools here but the top ones certainly have a waiting list. Take your time, its a big decision and a huge investment, but worth every penny for your children. Oh one last point. Check which Universities their graduates go to, a very good indicator of education levels attained. The school should also be able to provide you with A level results of prior students. I know you children are young but time soon goes.

Looks like the mystery has been solved, the Storm Shadow missiles are launched from a Su-24

Wagner boss ranting again, don't know how much to believe of what he say's but who knows. Prigozhin says war in Ukraine has backfired, warns of Russian revolution RIGA, Latvia — Fresh off his claim of victory in capturing the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, Russian mercenary boss Yevgeniy Prigozhin warned that Moscow’s brutal war could plunge Russia into turmoil similar to the 1917 revolution unless its detached, wealthy elite become more directly committed to the conflict. In a lengthy interview with Konstantin Dolgov, a political operative and pro-war blogger, Prigozhin, the founder and leader of the Wagner mercenary group, also asserted that the war had backfired spectacularly by failing to “demilitarize” Ukraine, one of President Vladimir Putin’s stated aims of the invasion. He also called for totalitarian policies. “Russia needs to live like North Korea for a few years, so to say, close the borders … and work hard.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/05/24/yevgeniy-prigozhin-war-backfired-revolution/ archive link

Bizarre, is Musk going to be DeSantis running mate? Over half of one of the official videos has him in it....lol

You got that right, in fact the parent who complained about this poem wrote in the complaint form that it was authored by Oprah Winfrey and she wanted the truth be told about Cuba......lol. Form is in the link below. Salinas told the publication in Spanish that she’s “not for eliminating or censoring any books” but instead wants children to be taught “the truth” about Cuba. According to the complainant datelined March 29, 2023, Gorman is mistaken for 69-year-old talk show host Oprah Winfrey as the poem’s author. It is unclear what lines in “The Hill We Climb” Salinas objected to and the poem does not directly reference Cuba at any point. https://nypost.com/2023/05/24/amanda-gormans-biden-inauguration-poem-banned-from-miami-school/

DeSantis has it down to an art form, he managed to use the word “woke” seven times in just over 20 seconds. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/ron-desantis-woke-republican-us-news_uk_6440fbaae4b039ec4e7cdab2

This is the source of the Time article and it was actually 4 books barred for elementary pupils. How the power of just one parents complaint can affect the reading of all other students in elementary. Cancel culture gone mad in Florida. Miami-Dade K-8 bars elementary students from 4 library titles following parent complaint In March, Daily Salinas, a parent of two students at at Bob Graham Education Center in Miami Lakes, challenged The ABCs of Black History, Cuban Kids, Countries in the News Cuba, the poem The Hills We Climb, which was recited by poet Amanda Gorman at the inauguration of President Joe Biden, and Love to Langston. For Stephana Ferrell, the director of research and insight at Florida Freedom to Read Project, it underscores a growing trend to redefine what is considered age appropriate, “especially regarding books that address ethnicities, marginalized communities, racism or our history of racism.” https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/education/article275671496.html

Here's an example of some of the scum that Target is bowing to. Tweet from journalist at the Slate and Wired. This has been going on since last year.

Now also accusing her of racism...............for someone who claims he never met her before yet on the first meeting she's comfortable enough to call her husband "the ape". Has to keep adding to his lie tally count I guess.........

That didn't take long, back to claiming violation of free speech laws and election interference.

About the same powers that MTG has for claiming he was threatening her.........

Will be interesting to see if he is also less enthusiastic about the $17 billion investment and creation of 13,000 jobs, over the next 10 years in Florida. Or as you interpret less enthusiastic, hates the plan..........

No that comes from Jamaal Bowman.
