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

I guess the USA is joining an exclusive club of countries with bubonic plague like Zambia, India, Malawi, Algeria, China, Peru, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Climate change. The issue that causes giggling among oil company CEOs.

It does. I only take English breakfast tea there.

So when god didn't help did they stop believing in god? Or admit he was powerless to prevent her death?

I doubt that NATO sees the Ukraine as an historical ally but more as the first in a series of small states that Russia wants.

Seems they could have stopped the deal. The amount paid already is a sunk cost and they won't get it back so just take the savings from not concluding the deal and add it to the 10,000 baht project.

How much will this "stimulate" the economy? Porn is a multi billion dollar industry in the USA (porn makes more than Hollywood apparently), but is this going to save the industry knowing how hardly anyone pays tax here? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/dec/30/internet-porn-says-more-about-ourselves-than-technology#:~:text=Current revenue estimates for the,words%2C online porn is huge.

I think his NATO speech could prove important in rallying member countries. Most people look at Russia having to cross Europe before attacking the USA. However, Russia, at its closest, is just 53 miles from the USA (see any map) and there are risks to the USA when Canada, a NATO member, has refused to increase military spending. If the USA withdraws from NATO later, it could face a Russian invasion on its northern flank. Then again, maybe overthinking this.

Many years ago, before I put cameras in my cars, a young car driver pulled out and hit the front left corner of my car. A policeman stopped to find out what happened and I could hear the kid telling the policeman in Thai, "He's a farang, make him pay." I told the policeman, in Thai, that the boy pulled out without signalling and if you check the front of my car you can see the angle at which he hit me. The boy complained that he and his girlfriend were in a hurry to get to university for an exam. "What subject are you taking?" asked the policeman. "Law," said the boy. With a lot of sangfroid, the policeman looked at him and said, "I wouldn't be in a hurry. You would have failed."

Tea is a plant based drink but isn't mentioned. I wonder why they differ?
