Interesting that John Kelly did confirm the Atlantic story about Trump calling the fallen suckers and losers in private conversation. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/john-kelly-confirms-trump-privately-disparaged-us-service-members-vete-rcna118543

As countries make it more difficult to own guns, there will be a switch to knife attacks.

Strangely, it was Indians in India who told me this story of a Victorian era British lady walking through a town when she stopped an old Indian gentleman and asked, "Excuse me sir, could you tell me where I might find a toilet?" He expansively waved his arm at the surrounding area and said, " Madam, the whole of India is a toilet." When I was in Pondicheri in the south, I couldn't walk on the beach at all due to the "landmines" everywhere. Goa was clean though.

Not sure anyone can generalize that an 81 year old is past it. Chuck Grassley is 90 and still going.

Good to know. Thanks.

The current protesters are pansies, shrinking violets, pathetic, compared to the women's rights movement. The Suffragettes fought for women to receive the vote in the UK. Among other actions they attacked property including window smashing and arson to fight for female suffrage. The Suffragettes also targeted major works of art and London landmarks. On 4 March 1914 Mary Richardson entered the National Gallery and inflicted seven 'wounds' across Velázquez's painting 'The toilet of Venus’. Emily Wilding Davison was arrested on nine occasions, went on hunger strike seven times and was force-fed on forty-nine occasions. She died after throwing herself in front of King George V's horse Anmer at the 1913 Derby. Let's not decry people fighting for a better world. P.S. the vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists – 97 percent – agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change. https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/faq/do-scientists-agree-on-climate-change/

The Government Savings Bank guarantees 100% of your savings. No limit. However who knows a few years from now?

I heard that stem cell replacement is quite dangerous. Hope it catches on and is cheap.

20 years ago there was a guy who leapt in front of cars then asked for compensation. Be careful to keep all doors locked and, if possible, take a photo or video for police.

Was planning a trip to southern China. Colleagues tell me they rarely want cash there any more. All phone apps. This is looking more risky now.

Thanks a lot. Seems I was misled when the DOD says military snipers aim for two triangles on center body mass (https://www.defense.gov/Multimedia/Experience/Art-of-the-Shot/). So, I can assume that this kid who was 150 feet away went for the head shot only.

I thought they would have to test it for a number of years before releasing it to the public. Looking forward to seeing the literal cat'o'nine tails.

So who can tell me? Do professional snipers aim at the head or torso? Seems all these years I thought it was the torso.

Mentally disturbed people usually get hospital treatment. If something drove her insane, that may come out eventually.

Two road rage stories in one day.🫢 What is the world coming to?

I remember when the ministry of culture had topless angels on its website. Then they realized their hypocrisy was making people laugh at them. Topless angels everywhere...

Hard to believe they spent a load of money on plane tickets and hotel/restaurants just to commit suicide.

I doubt anyone can follow who will receive the money and a few million will go to people who died in the last 6 months. I also doubt the government's records are up to date. Politicians will pocket a portion and this will not help poor people.

Unfortunately, any Thai government cannot cancel bad debt as it will allow people to think they can get into debt again and again and the government will miraculously take it all away again and again. Better education is a long term solution - for teachers.

I do think that intelligence and life experience helps a lot when voted in to represent others. Voters aren't expecting someone who doesn't know more than themselves.

Cheaper to send robots with AI. Tech has advanced so much that sending people into space is an unnecessary risk. Anyway, what human wants to live on the moon - the cheese is green!

I read the who NYT article (too long to post the whole text here) in full. Biden called on Saturday. Trump didn't. I later read he called a few days later when all the news agencies had already pointed out that he didn't call immediately. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/not-trump-biden-dialled-widow-of-rally-shooting-victim-she-didnt-pick-up-6116808 Also, on that Saturday, Biden called Trump immediately the same day.

People are right to be suspicious. Imagine them saying to each other what a great hotel, have you got your passports? Let's go home. No, wait, we forgot the poison.

What is the Daily Caller? Some guy in his basement?
