Thai Navy Plane Blocks Phuket Airport Runway; Flights Disrupted
Replacing them would mean a lot of commissions for the generals (air Commodores). It is a decision best not taken in haste.

Deadly Shootout Rocks Downtown Alabama: 2 Dead, 12 Wounded
People need guns in urban areas to protect themselves from bad guys with guns who want to hunt but can't find any outdoors. That is why, whenever a gun man starts to shoot at people, a good guy with a gun opens up immediately to save innocent people. So many deaths are avoided by those good guys. In case any libs are asking, banning guns will not work because there are 50 states, and even though all of them have police stations, with 905 throughout the US and too many other government agencies (otherwise known as potential collection centers), the effort would be too great. On the other hand, collecting guns wouldn't work because only the good guys with guns would hand them in and only bad guys would keep them. Yes, no doubt guns would no longer be stolen from people who no longer have them, and suicides by gun would plummet but that would simply mean you'd have to leave the planet by other means. Yeah, I know the radical left would point at the UK and say, "Hey, look, they have a knife problem. That's worse than our gun problem and no one bans knives." Knife-related homicides (2023–2024) in the UK were 262 while in the USA was~1,562, so there is no comparison worth bothering about. S.A. Tire

Former Thai PM Chavalit Bedridden & Gravely Ill, Aide Discloses
The man is an icon. The smuggling road into the jungle ending at the Burmese border. The invasion of Uttaradit province by Laos and the lost battle of Ban Rom Klao that he placed a media blackout on. Stingray light tanks whose hulls cracked on rough ground.

British Parts Found in Russian Drones, Zelensky Reveals
They say "microcomputers" so I doubt the makers knew what they would be used for but anyway... I don't know the reason why Russia has not been banned from trading with the west completely.

Hun Sen Slams Thai Shooting Game as ‘Immoral Provocation’
Bombing and trying to invade Thailand does tend to have a negative effect on the Cambodian economy. Perhaps he should have thought of that before attacking Thailand.

Calls for Tougher UK Migration Rules as Integration Falters
Seems to me the Tories are linked to Brexit, which was the start of the big influx of migrants. They wanted the rich to escape new tax regulations about to be initiated by the EU and this new "sovereignty" meant they didn't cooperate with the EU on various laws and agreements.

Pam Bondi's Senate Hearing Sparks Partisan Fireworks
Evidence the justice system is wonky. Ghislane Maxwell is in prison for trafficking kids. Kash Patel informed a Senate Committee that there was no evidence of child trafficking by Epstein, and therefore by association, Maxwell. Yet Maxwell is still in prison. Something fishy is going on. " The FBI director told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday he’s reviewed a “good amount” of the Epstein files and there’s “no credible information” Epstein “trafficked to other individuals.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2025/09/17/can-fbi-release-full-epstein-files-why-kash-patels-claims-are-misleading/ 'No credible information' Epstein trafficked victims to others: FBI boss' https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/kash-patel-fbi-epstein-senate-panel-1.7635660 Some seem not to believe that they were not trafficked. https://people.com/epstein-survivors-blast-fbi-kash-patel-trafficking-11813198 Free Maxwell!

“Democrat’s ‘two bullets’ text sparks backlash, GOP attacks,
It is good to see that after so many years, Republicans have been able to find, at last, a Democrat saying something violent about them. There needs to be balance.

Thai Church Accused of Fraud and Misleading Teachings
Sounds like it is a Catholic Church. They sold indulgences (pay money to have your sins washed away), which led to the Protestant Reformation and was formally banned by the Catholic Church in 1567. Not that the Catholic Church since has followed rules it didn't like.

Trump MIA
I suspect that with their majority in the House of Representatives and their majority in the Senate, the shutdown happened because some Republicans didn't agree with the party. Or else it was Obama.

Thaksin Visited by Sister & Ex-PM Somchai at Klong Prem
Someone tell me if I am wrong, but wasn't his sister Yaowapha really overweight in the past? Not trying to be rude to her, but I read years ago that she wasn't considered attractive enough to enter politics. I don't want to know

1-year risks of cancers associated with COVID-19 vaccination
And now for something completely different. Want to watch JFK Jr. spout rubbish? For anyone interested, a scientist tears JFK Jr a new one by ranking his lies (and a couple of truths) on Rogan. Morgan McSweeney has been researching the Covid virus since the beginning of the pandemic. He is a PhD in immunology and pharmaceutical sciences. It is interesting to learn about how JFK recites sources he pretends to have read, then see the result of a real scientist read the same sources. See his video here: https://www.facebook.com/reel/3052251454961386 Before concerning others about the source, I looked him up and he seems well-known as a real scientist who posts on social media to rectify misinformation. Here are articles about him. https://www.sarasotamagazine.com/health-and-fitness/2021/07/morgan-mcsweeney-dr-noc-tiktok-covid https://www.medpagetoday.com/publichealthpolicy/generalprofessionalissues/93360 https://www.statnews.com/2025/10/01/dr-noc-morgan-mcsweeney-social-media-influencer-science-health/ https://tittlepress.com/health/1004394/ https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2022/01/tiktok-doctors-debunking-pandemic-lies/621346/ https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/covid-misinformation-tiktok-experts_uk_61668ddce4b028316c8f24f9

We asked 1,000 Americans who they blame for the shutdown
Quite concerning that there are people who want to cut the number of people who can afford healthcare, and I am not including illegal immigrants as they are not allowed access to ACA, Medicaid etc To actually believe that poor Americans should be forced to die because they don't work hard enough to build the wealth needed to access healthcare is incredible.
