US Deports Hundreds of Alleged Venezuelan Gang Members Despite Court Order
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.

Why is All the Hate Towards Russia and Not China?
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.

US Deports Hundreds of Alleged Venezuelan Gang Members Despite Court Order
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.

Biden AutoPen Signature scandal
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.

Mosquito Bite Triggers Chronic Illness in British Man Post-Holiday
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.

Motorbike Clash: Tourist and Ladyboy Tussle on Pattaya Streets - video
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.

As an Expat: How do you feel about dying in Thailand? Will you be happy about it?
It isn't dying I fear, it is excruciating pain for weeks or months before dying.

Nigel Farage: A Prime Minister in the Making? The Reform UK Leader’s Ascent
I can't see Clacton voting for him if he is always traveling and never meeting voters in his constituency.

Trump Eyes Rarely Used Alien Enemies Act for Deportation Plans
I missed something. When did Congress declare war on anyone? Using a law illegally is opening the door to other illegal actions. What next? Kicking out those of German descent because they were against America in WWII?

Government Falls Short on Teacher Recruitment Amid Record Shortages
If they target 6,500 new teachers, and it takes 4 years to train a teacher, we can't expect to see them in classes before 2029 (not counting those already in teacher training). It is a good idea but will take time. The way people are talking about it makes it look like they expect more teachers this year.

Not as important as closing down pro American radio is what will rise from the ashes? Will it be just pro Trump radio? Or pro Putin radio?

Former Bangkok Deputy Governor Urges Minister to Scrap Contractor After Another Collapse
Well, who is this mysterious contractor? Maybe when it comes to building the nuclear power plant they keep discussing, this company will get the job.

The Governments Lied about the Origin of the Covid Pandemic
I feel so confident that Alex Berenson is the guy who tells it like it is. "People started getting sick in Wuhan in December 2019. Or was it November? Maybe even October?" Yeah this is how to tell facts.

Musk is Bringing them Home
Why are people sniping at each other all the time? NASA pays others to make its spacecraft. If they don't work, like Boeing, they use someone else's

The World’s Deadliest Infectious Disease Is About to Get Worse
America must stop calling itself the world's policeman and the greatest country (27th in the world for education, for instance). That will shut people up.

Portugal nixes F35 order cos of trump
Cancelling planes is serious for any country that makes a lot of income from military equipment. If other countries drop orders for a broader range of military equipment this could become worrying. After all, eggs are not a large portion of the export economy.

Hatred.
I am not sure you can hate someone for what they write anonymously on AN. Once you understand they have no real life and expouse their venom here as an escape from their unhappy lives then it becomes easier to let go, block them and get on with life

The new enemy: The rest of the world.
Capitalism is about competing efficiently. American products can't compete with countries with lower labor costs.

U.S. Visa Sanctions Target Thai Officials Over Uyghur Deportation
Perhaps Rubio could next look at a certain country that keeps people in an offshore prison where they have not been charged, have no Constitutional rights; no right to trial, no right to a lawyer. Then talk about human rights.

Two Indian Men Questioned Over Alleged Rape of German Tourist at Full Moon Party
She doesn't know who attacked her. The two males haven't confessed. Now everyone needs to wait for the DNA results before blaming anyone.
