  1. Judge James Boasberg has bipartisan credentials. He was appointed to the D.C. Superior Court by President George W. Bush, a Republican, in 2002, and later elevated to the Federal District Court by President Barack Obama, a Democrat. He does not have a formal affiliation with any political party. Just saying...
  2. Lots of criticism online about Trump's math being wrong. But how can the U.S. be competitive against poor Asian countries? Coming soon to the U.S. - halve wages.
  3. With fewer people able to find a job, dole money will be needed by more people. I don't understand how the government will cover the increase.
  4. When I was a teen, the French were up in arms about the use of Le Weekend. English has adopted words from many languages - verandah comes from India for instance. Thais have made their lives easier by using the English word computer, although there was an official Thai word created by the Royal Institute: เครื่องอิเล็กทรอนิกส์คำนวณและประมวลผล meaning "An electronic device for calculating and processing." I guess people do prefer easy over official words.
  5. Geller has already been proven a fraud. It seems he misses the glory days.
  6. "Of the many lies you have made in the past few years, which one is your favorite?" "I never lie." "Yes, that's my favorite too." - A. Politician
  7. There have been reports for many years that the USA has a variety of underwater sensors, primarily used by the Navy for defense and surveillance purposes. These sensors include advanced SONAR systems, which are used for detecting and tracking submarines, underwater communication, and data collection. Companies like General Dynamics and L3Harris provide these sophisticated systems to the U.S. Navy. I don't know which country is the more dangerous.
  8. Having paid to help win the election, Elon discovers that things are not as rosy as he expected.
  9. China is simply banning the export of materials vital to America's pharmaceutical and technological industries. No need for tariffs.
  10. Don't worry - when the depression starts. Trump will tell everyone It was all caused by Biden and Obama.
  11. The shattering news that RFK jr. Will be providing MMR vaccines to Texas to deal with the measles crisis is an indication he had changed his mind about vaccines.
  12. Even Kennedy is backing down and has promised to make vaccines available after visiting the parents of the second child to die of measles in Texas. https://www.thebulwark.com/p/rfks-anti-vax-flock-turns-on-him-mmr-measles-winsome-earle-sears "Buried near the bottom of an X post about his visit, Kennedy conceded that the measles vaccine is “the most effective way to prevent the spread of measles.” He also said the government was providing “needed MMR vaccines.”
  13. I don't see American cars being all that popular in Asia because they are too big, guzzle gas and expensive to maintain. Funnily enough, Fords in Europe are smaller and better made.
  14. How does the government import more without a higher budget? American products are expensive. Which agricultural goods does Thailand need from America? Sounds like coals to Newcastle.
  15. The photo shows the toilet is higher than the groin. Nothing to see.
  16. Who is Jenna McCarthy? Is she a scientist? Does she have a Nobel Prize? Is she qualified to comment on vaccines? Jenna McCarthy is an American author known for her comedic books for both children and adults. Some of her notable works include "Everything's Relative", "If It Was Easy, They'd Call the Whole Damn Thing a Honeymoon", and "Lola's Rules for Friendship"
  17. Germany is talking about withdrawing its gold reserve from New York. I sense some concerns.
  18. I was reading that China has banned sales of gallium, germanium and antimony to the U.S. Doesn't seem like a big deal to some but they are used in the production of semiconductors and also a wide range of military and technological applications. China currently controls over 90% of EV battery grade graphite and those have been subject to export controls since last year. China also controls 60% of the world's rare earth elements, but more importantly, 90% of the processing capacity. This is becoming interesting.
  19. The only thing I have against people who do their own research is: 1. They never interview any scientists or researchers themselves 2. They do tend to use absolutely unknown sources who haven't qualified as real scientists 3. Many of the accusations come from people not qualified to accuse anyone if anything. No virologists, disease experts. 4. None have visited China to see for themselves who created the covid virus
  20. Cycling every Saturday. Find a park or somewhere to visit. Today, in the Agricultural Museum, Khlong 1. Nice flowers to photograph.
  21. Rewatching a TV show called Timeless about three people chasing through time to stop someone changing the future. Real historical characters interact with our heroes. The first episode which features the Hindenburg is an eye-opener. Recommended. I also like Sugar, which starts off as one type of show and after a twist becomes a completely different animal.
  22. I agree. There is no such thing as disease and all pharmaceutical companies need to stop production now. I did my own research on Facebook and found many who agree with me, that PhDs in specialist scientific subjects, that I don't need to understand, are faking it.
  23. White males seem to dominate the IT industry globally. However, Thailand has the highest proportion of female CEOs in the world, with 30% of companies employing female CEOs. Thats not DEI, that's because they are good.
