  1. I am half joking when I say that the Uyghur prisoners would have been welcome to seek asylum in the United States. They would have then been sent to El Salvador.
  2. America is a capitalist country. It is a business that needs to buy and sell goods. If it's marketing plan goes doolally, it will sell less. That's market forces. People don't like your image, they go elsewhere.
  3. No mention of any crimes in Thailand. At least the joint cooperation of the two police forces worked out in the end.
  4. What does his religion have to do with his knowing?
  5. I can imagine the meeting. One for you, two for me...
  6. I wonder how many people were tricked into buying tickets based on a 60-day visa? Obviously, the two months visas were working, that's why there are so many tourists. I don't like crowds more than the next person, but raising expectations and flip flopping back will not help the country's tourism industry.
  7. I have to admire this man of peace treating Houthis as Ukraine treats Russians (who are also terrorists). Libya has a lot of potential as a new Riviera.
  8. Rather than stay in an expensive private hospital, perhaps he could move to a government hospital. It is often the same doctors, just a different price.
  9. When people cry out for, even demand, actions to be taken that are illegal, what can you say when you become the victim? That you know your rights? That you will sue the government? That "it ain't fair"? Once started, that train is hard to stop.
  10. McCarthy was against all communists but focused on Russia. He destroyed many careers. It seems now McCarthyism had returned but now it's against everybody who is not in a cult.
  11. They could be terrorists. We will never know for sure because no court declared them as such after seeing all the evidence. No judge or jury found them guilty.
  12. Several presidents have used an autopen. It isn't illegal. However, any president who magically declassifies documents by just saying, "I hereby declare you declassified!" Is in trouble.
  13. A relative got malaria in the brain after visiting Koh Samet. She went insane for a while and was sectioned by her husband until the doctors figured out what was wrong. This is a tropical country. Expecting it to be similar to the west, can lead to trouble. Mosquito repellent is better than nothing.
  14. Asking her to get off so that you can drive it is one thing. Teling her to get off when you aren't about to drive it is something else. Guys forget that they might be beautiful but they punch like men. Better to smile and speak politely.
  15. People dying in prison cells. Hope this isn't a trend.
