Government Hires Crackpot to "Study" Nonexistent Link Between Vaccines and Autism

US Vice President JD Vance Calls for Greenland to Come Under US Control Amid Rising Tensions
While not published in western news media, an interview with Putin yesterday in Pravda was worth reading. He was quoted as saying that it was time for Russia to take back Alaska, a country it had sold to the USA in the 19th century for "a ridiculously low price." "The price we got was not serious. It was a joke. Today it remains underdeveloped, which we could change. It does not even touch the continental United States! Russia is closer to Alaska than any part of continental USA. Russia was the first to send a satellite into space. With our advanced technology we could develop Alaska. Canada is a possible security barrier and will ensure safety for Americans. All we want is some space to breathe."

Thailand Considers Shortening Visa-Free Stays for Chinese Tourists
Talk about bad timing. First the government is criticized by the West for sending Uyghyrs to China, supposedly at the whim of Xi. Then pointing at Chinese tourists and cutting the visa limit for its citizens. The timing makes the two events look linked.

Is this the greatest place for GangBangers....by far? Sweet!!!!
Those gangbangers are just nasty. People with tattoos should be assumed to be terrorists and sent to El Salvador without evidence and without a trial. That will be the end of it.

EPA offers industrial polluters way to avoid rules on mercury, arsenic, other toxic chemical
Ignoring pollution has long term effects on people but I guess most of the people responsible whether factory owners or EPA officers will be retired or dead by then. In Thailand we have PM2.5 pollution but no one cares.

ChatGPT Update Raises Red Flags Over Fake Bank Slips
I have never considered using an app to transfer money until staff at SCB said they wouldn't transfer money to my sister. Then I downloaded the SCB app which transferred the money direct to her bank in less than 60 minutes. Now I have to worry about AI transferring my money? This is not a case of being cautious but of theft going on in the background and being unaware.
