Trump’s Victory Spurs Special Counsel to Consider Winding Down Criminal Cases
This has been discussed so many times. If you declassify a document by thinking, what evidence is there that it was declassified? If documents are declassified, there’s usually a painstaking process of blacking out what information still stays secret.

Trump’s Victory Spurs Special Counsel to Consider Winding Down Criminal Cases
He could have declassified documents in writing perhaps but not by dreaming. Someone needed to check exactly what he wanted to declassify. https://www.americanbar.org/news/abanews/aba-news-archives/2022/10/fact-check-presidential-authority/

Thailand Targets Eight Million European Tourists for Record 2024
Like a broken record. The tourism industry contributed 2.78% to GDP in 2022, and 7.24% in both direct and indirect contributions. Whereas manufacturing contributed 35%. I know where I would focus. Forgot, they need people uneducated and unskilled to work as labor for rich people.

Why I left Thailand
You can live well in Thailand until your health suffers. It isn't the occasional doctor visits, medicines or even some surgery that costs too much, it is the constant return visits for dialysis or something really chronic. Getting health insurance is really expensive. I can understand why Spain might be good if the same health requirements are free or cheap.

That would have been more helpful.

Republicans begin walking back campaign promises
OK. You could have made it more... to the point, shall we say, by mentioning what Trump's advisors are saying. Just went to the article and it is paywalled as you mentioned. Not much use to me.

So I was right about abortion - Roe v Wade is dead
Maybe someone knows the answer to this. Is a fetus an American if it hasn't been born yet? Does it have any rights under the constitution?

It doesn't say Trump or the Republican Party is walking back anything. Read the words "The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office Your headline says: Republicans begin walking back campaign promises

How to get a Usufruct?
Can get an usufruct at the land department. Takes about two minutes. A Thai must own the land. The landowner signs and it should become yours until you die. Mind you, the Land Department woman I dealt with warned my better half not to do it, not to give Thai land to a (blooming) foreigner. She told the woman, "The land was bought with his money anyway."

Trump's Climate Rollbacks and Renewed Fossil Fuel Push
Yes, drill baby drill. And as the climate gets worse, close or defund all those Marxist, Leninist, Stalinist socialist, pinky parts of government that may try to save the lives of those affected by natural disasters using national taxes! Kill FEMA, police and fire departments, Medicare, the National Weather Service forever. Who needs them? Don't know what came over me. Go back to what you were doing.

Australia to Propose Social Media Ban for Children Under 16 to Protect Mental Health
Stupid old people never learn. Have they forgotten about kids (illegally) smoking behind the bike sheds when they were young? Make something illegal and it develops a desirous appeal to kids. Leave parenting up to parents. Or are the parents the problem?

Bangkok bombshell: Thai woman walks as Erawan Shrine case crumbles
I understand they speak a Turkic language rather than Chinese, by am surprised also that they didn't learn Chinese in school.

Bangkok bombshell: Thai woman walks as Erawan Shrine case crumbles
It seems too often that the RTP says: it was either for this reason or that reason or some other reason. Circumstantial evidence is not evidence that proves anything beyond reasonable doubt.

Trump’s Victory Spurs Special Counsel to Consider Winding Down Criminal Cases
What you are saying is that others have done it so Trump shouldn't be singled out. See your point. But going back to the binary nature of criminal cases, he did it or he didn't do it.
