There is one person benefiting from the price rise and I wouldn't be surprised if he sells, pockets the profit and thumbs his nose at the mugs.

The amount disbursed is just a short-term solution. Investing in better quality education is a long-term solution. Ending the need for kids to buy school and scout uniforms would save a lot for poor parents. Registering all working age people with the tax authorities and following up to see they filled in the tax forms would bring in more to the coffers seeing as there are tax dodgers everywhere. (I knew one shop that looked scruffy and poorly decorated but upstairs was like a museum with Ming Dynasty pots in glass cases.)

My guess is it is irrelevant to the gun charge. Whether it is politically important my questions are: 1. What position hid Hunter hold in the White House? 2. Was he a government or political employee anywhere in the USA? 3. If the information in the laptop is relevant to his father, and the FBI knows the contents, why hasn't this information been used by the Republican party who could have made some hay with it (assuming it is damaging)? Just interested...

America is a capitalist country. Trump is a capitalist. A match made in heaven, according to god.

I agree and would like the system to be more inclusive. However, there are many who like what they know and prefer the current system.

I thought Clinton was on the left. Yet he passed the law.

It is quite legal for anyone with a PhD to call themselves Doctor. It is accepted everywhere in the world. Jill Biden has a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Delaware and master's degrees in education and English from West Chester University and Villanova University, and returned to the University of Delaware for a doctoral degree in education. I am sure people don't call themselves Doctor in private. It's just a title. Dr. Richard Dawkins Dr. Brian May Dr. Condoleezza Rice Dr. Stephen Hawking and so on.

It is illegal for non-citizens to vote. Period. This is clear in 18 USC 611: Voting by aliens (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:18 section:611 edition:prelim). Clinton passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_Immigration_Reform_and_Immigrant_Responsibility_Act_of_1996). When someone reported on Instagram that the law does allow aliens to vote this was fact-checked and found false (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2024/05/14/1996-clinton-immigration-law-voting-fact-check/73645678007/). If caught they can be deported.

I am aghast that the plastic bottle at the bottom of the photo is so clearly just thrown away. Don't these quality tourists understand that someone has to pick it up and make 5 Baht selling it on? Disgraceful.

Find it, put it in a prison zoo to attract tourists, make money until it goes extinct again. The civilized reaction?

While pointing out that people kept voting for 14 years for a useless government and what that means, Starmer should remember this is still not a period where Labour are held in good repute. The first 100 days will be a test of his understanding of what people want.

Marc Bolan.

A missed opportunity for the tattooist to cover the guy in Hello Kitty.

I doubt the Republican shooter took only a few days to plan everything. These activities are usually not ad hoc. Biden's words do look bad in hindsight.

When a Republican shooter misses the former president, better to blame the Democratic Party.

Yet no one mentions that the shooter was a registered Republican? https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-rally-shooting-suspect-fbi-names-pennsylvania-man/story?id=111921870

On January 12, 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported that in October 2016, just before the 2016 United States presidential election, Michael Cohen, executive vice president at The Trump Organization and special counsel to then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, arranged a payment of US$130,000 to Stormy Daniels. Therefore he wasn't president at the time.

Thais will never do anything for foreigners. The USA system exists here. Pay an extortionate amount for the premium and find out you have to pay towards the bills too.

If the lease scheme falls flat the PM hasn't a clue what to do. As a real estate magnate, all he can think about is making money in his key business. The British government is also to blame in not seeking reciprocal agreements. Thais have been buying houses and flats in the UK for years but that is fine for the British. The Labour government should make everything equal.

Brandon Lee was killed by a blank. A lead tip was in the barrel from a previous scene. The shooting was ruled an accident due to negligence. Why wasn't this case an accident?

Not sure why she wants to come back knowing her husband can't live here as she can in the UK.

It would be interesting to know if any former senators (from what period) have got in again. And who are linked to politicians and soldiers.

700 generals but let them stay on. Not having seen active service implies Thailand doesn't have the eternal wars of other countries.

I have this niggling feeling men don't like Harris because she is intelligent, coloured and female. Bigotry is the biggest obstacle to her success.

"Even prodigies who avoid burnout and resist social pressures are unlikely to make a big splash as an adult. The problem, notes giftedness researcher Ellen Winner, is that to make a major contribution in the arts, and even the sciences "you need a rebellious spirit and the type of mind that can see new things." Most prodigies, however, are acclaimed not for their innovation but "for doing something that's already been done." https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/articles/200511/why-prodigies-fail
