Trump Threatens to Block Bills Until Congress Passes Strict Voter ID Law
As he stated if this was enacted Democrats would not win an election for 50 years. His intentions are stated. To enrol to vote I assume adequate proof of current eligibility must be established. Re postal voting am sure he stated that he did himself but is no longer adequate for other voters?

American might on display in dramatic show of strength
I think taco is very reluctant to strike as Iran have warned this will signal full on warfare. Even with those warships America has a limited supply of missiles etc to unleash and a long way from reserve supplies. China and Russia have been supplying military aid and as we are aware Iran has a very large arsenal of missiles etc aided by tehnical help from allies. Israel and powers within USA will assert massive pressure on Trump to retaliate. If this proceeds it will not end happily for anyone involved, it would be folly to underestimate the Iranians.

Rail Passengers May Soon See Travel Insurance Added to Fares
They are talking of a war room. Is the like of this why they have lost direction, do not clean up the tycoon construction companies put the onus on the train pax. Why not ensure that these construction companies have adequate compensation policies and are held responsible for unsafe practices.

Brutal Crackdown Halts Protests Across Iran
Typical TACO, very similar to jan 6. Protest and if they kill you I will take very drastic action against your leaders. Many deaths reported but TACO says oh no not regime they died because they stampede. After undeniable proof of protesters deaths, oh no I have spoken with them and they will stop murdering you. TACO is great at inciting and inflaming .

Trump-Greenland Clash: Danish Official Voices Disagreement
IF this was solely about defence of the USA you have been given access for this purpose and I believe at one stage had many bases in Greenland but then packed up and left your rusting trucks and debris behind. So this is not about defence. If USA does not take it over Russia or China will. Who told you that Donald?

Best place to get passport photos done?
It is a lottery, I had to submit at least five sets of photos before I had a set that was acceptable. Allwere done at reputable shops including both kodak shops mentioned. I finally got kodak Jomtien by tt money exchange to send me photos in pdf form or similar and a friend tried to further enhance and these were accepted. Good luck. The embassy only has a photo shop in Bangkok that they recommend.

ICE Agent Fatally Shoots US Citizen in Minneapolis Raid
Can or cannot is irrelevant. Law is based on precedent and this has already been established (sorry cannot give you case reference of a few years ago) This officer is legally in the wrong. Any training by police etc would tell you never to stand in front of a vehicle. He either missed that class or was sure he knew more than who took the class. This was not a violent happening until this officer escalated it . Officers at the scene could merely have taken her registration number and gone to her residence later with a warrant and arrested her if they thought she had broken the law. Situation solved nobody dead.

ICE Agent Fatally Shoots US Citizen in Minneapolis Raid
Truly amazing John, while he has to take evasive action (not) to escape being run over he has time to take his gun from his holster step towards the vehicle and fire multiple shots. He is a true hero.

Zelensky and Trump Meet in Florida for Urgent Peace Talks
Rudi ,I have seen three Utube videos that claim Ukraine sent drones into an apartment block (very top floors) that they claim belonged to Putin and then also the monstrous palace complex overlooking the ocean they claim belonged to Putin but showed no footage of that attack. Trump appears to have no issue of Russia firing missiles into Kiev and other cities on a nightly basis targeting apartments annd homes.

What da flippin heck will be built on that cleared Jomtien land?
Am guessing but about 3 - 4 years ago it was cleared of squatters and the land offered for sale in a few parcels of land but may have had same vendor. Since then signs ere removed and some squatters returned. If it has been amalgamated into one parcel of land it is massive and very expensive real estate. Yes it has been planted out so also adds to the mystery and would assume there are no short term plans for the site.

Jerusalem Bus Attack Horror: Pregnant Woman Among Six Dead
Peace seeking Israel. The syrian people had at last got rid of their murdering dictator and what was Israel response. They sent in their airforce to decimate the Syrian airforce, navy and other infrastructure. Then sent land forces to encroach on Syrian land. Just liberated Syria had not threatened or driven one mile toward Israel. Such a friendly gesture of peace to their neighbour.

Trump Dismisses Epstein File Demands as ‘Democrat Hoax’
I enjoyed the comment of one of the victims I heard yesterday that if the officials will not release a list of the names of the perpetrators that the victims will consider doing so. That I am sure made some people squirm. No doubt they would like the officials to do this as I am sure a lot of lawsuits would follow if they were to do so.
