The people being deported were already on the deportation list back to their country of nationality. They consist of; - Denied refugee status already detained because of flight risk or criminal record - Convicted criminals already in custody No one innocent of at risk of mistaken identity is currently being deported. Let the USA remove the people a;ready under order of deportation and who present a danger to society. This will take a year or more. They are not the people working in the fields or the hospitality business.

Canada Seeks a Diplomatic Solution to Avert Trump Tariffs
Patong2021 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
He is an MP who stayed past his best before date. The dislike for him will reduce once he is gone, whereas the disdain and the dislike for the USA will be indelibly etched into the collective Id of Canada. What Trump is trying to do is no different than the US sponsorship of the Fenian terrorist actions in Canada, and the attempt to invade in 1812. Both events ended poorly for the USA. -
Hopefully, you love and care for your canine companion. King Charles is doing what he must to benefit the UK and to salvage a precarious relationship that the UK has with the USA. Although Labour is in large part the cause of the problem, the Conservatives contributed, and Farage and Co., are not helping. If Charles and Camilla must make nice with the bully, then that's what they will do as they put duty above all else.

Canada Seeks a Diplomatic Solution to Avert Trump Tariffs
Patong2021 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
He has successfully turned a nation of approx. 40 million against the USA. The seeds of animosity have been planted and they will soon bear fruit. -
You have no evidence of hate. She did not speak hatefully of Mr. Trump. As a Christian clergy member she must not hate people. You don't like her sermon. Fine. Good for you. You don't have to attend activities in the Church she ministers at and then you won't hear her sermons. Mr. Trump and his entourage went for a photo opp, not to participate in the sharing of the faith.

Her sermon was based upon the teachings of the gospel. No one is forcing you to accept them. However, as she is a member of the clergy of that Church it is to be expected that she would base her sermon on her faith's principles. You were not being asked to take advice from the Bishop, nor were you obliged to be in the Church. However, if you attend a Church service, you should expect to hear the gospel. Don't agree? Fine, then don't go. Trump was looking for a photo opp and was surprised to discover that some people still take the Christian faith seriously. You have completely missed the point. The clergy person was being criticized for practicing her faith. You are not forced to be a Christian, however, if you are going to sit in a pew and profess to be one, then you should expect to listen to a minister offer a sermon based upon the faith. Mr. Trump and his entourage attended the Church service under the premise of being Christians. It was to be expected that the minister would base her sermon on the Christian faith. No one compelled you to accept those teachings. It seems that the serial adulterers would have been more comfortable in the company of those who were not of the Christian faith. That's their choice. However, don't show up in a Church and expect to have cruelty and wickedness praised or endorsed. The Bishop acted in accordance of her sincere Christian faith. If you want snake charmers and entertainment, try one of the Evangelical churches that collect money for the corrupt clergy.

Thailand Introduces Online TM6 as Tourism Fee Faces Delays
Patong2021 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That's not how it works. If we use the US CBP MPC or the Japan Arrive method, the information is completed in advance and a QR code is generated. You scan the QR code at the electronic gate. I did this in Japan. It works rather well for arrival and was through a very busy arrivals hall in 10 minutes. -
No he would not. If you you have a grievance against Canada, please feel free to surrender your passport and return to your paradise of Serbia. This is a code White event and sadly is a regular occurrence in ERs around the world. It is quite obvious that this man is either under the influence of a powerful mood altering drug(s) and/or is mentally ill. The procedure will be to send him for a psychiatric hold and exam. In Canada it is usually 72 hours. In Thailand, he may or may not be sent to a psychiatric holding facility where he will either be sedated or restrained.

So basically, the Chinese have copied what the USA and EU have already achieved. Both have already shared their technology and their results. China never shares its technology because it is typically stolen or copied from the west. The ITER project in Cadarache achieved a more significant event in 2021 when a new fusion energy world record of 59 MJ was achieved in JET in a 5 second long pulse, while burning only 170 micrograms of deuterium and tritium. The key is to produce more energy than is needed to initiate and support the reaction. The Chinese have not accomplished that. .

1st Question: Was there a domestic quarrel with the boy's mother? 2nd Question: Was there a custody dispute? 3rd Question: Did the child have a behavioural issue or illness requiring care etc.? 4th Question: Does the father suffer from mental illness? Looks more like a family dispute, resulting in murder/suicide, where the suicide fails. The instinct to survive can prevent a successful suicide. This scenario is unfortunately not uncommon.

The conviction was in 1989. The person was a junkie. Yes, unfortunate, but his case against the RCMP was dismissed because he was not credible and could not substantiate his allegations of wrongdoing. January 8, 2008 Superior Court of Quebec -Action dismissed. January 17, 2013 Court of Appeal of Quebec -Appeal dismissed. November 7, 2013 Supreme Court of Canada - Closed file for Leave of Appeal. A case from 25+ years ago has no relevance anyway.

No. They are still forbidden. All that has changed was the addition of the security screening reference. The contract of Carriage provisions remain. The key paragraph in Thai is The Carrier also has the right to refuse carriage of passengers, baggage and goods which the passenger does not consent to or does not pass a security search, including refusing carriage on grounds of safety and security. Weapons as cargo are addressed under the Air Navigation Act and by the Contract of Carriage sets out the security and safety rules. For example, Thai's Contract of Carriage states; ARTICLE 11 - CONDUCT ABOARD AIRCRAFT 11.1 GENERAL If, in our reasonable opinion, you conduct yourself aboard the aircraft so as to endanger the aircraft or any person or property on board, or obstruct the crew in the performance of their duties, or fail to comply with any instructions of the crew including but not limited to those with respect to smoking, alcohol or drug consumption, or behave in a manner which causes discomfort, inconvenience, damage or injury to other passengers or the crew, we may take such measures as we deem reasonably necessary to prevent continuation of such conduct, including restraint. You may be disembarked and refused onward carriage at any point, and may be prosecuted for offences committed on board the aircraft. It is open ended. And yes, involuntary denial of boarding due to oversell of seats, cancellation, IRROPS and weather is still allowed.

Get back to me after you have read the scripture from which she drew her sermon. Both old and new testaments have many passages. Here are some of the inspirational points that she referred to her in her comments on aliens. Exodus 12:49 and Leviticus 24:22 – “There shall be one law for the native and for the alien who resides among you.” Exodus 22:21 – “You shall not wrong or oppress a resident alien; for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.” Leviticus 19:33-34 and 24:22 – When the alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.” Numbers 9:14 and 15:15-16 – “…you shall have one statute for both the resident alien and the native.” Deuteronomy 1:16 – “Give the members of your community a fair hearing, and judge rightly between one person and another, whether citizen or resident alien.” Deuteronomy 10:18-19 – “For the Lord your God…loves the strangers, providing them food and clothing. You shall also love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.” Deuteronomy 24:14 – “You shall not withhold the wages of poor and needy laborers, whether other Israelites or aliens who reside in your land…” Deuteronomy 24:17-18 – “You shall not deprive a resident alien…of justice.” Deuteronomy 24:19-22 – Leave sheaf, olives, grapes for the alien. Deuteronomy 27:19 – “Cursed be anyone who deprives the alien…of justice.” Psalm 146:9 – “The Lord watches over the strangers…” Isaiah 16:4 – Be a refuge to the outcasts of Moab. Jeremiah 7:5-7 – “If you do not oppress the alien…then I will dwell with you in this place…” Jeremiah 22:3-5 – Do no wrong or violence to the alien. Ezekiel 47:21-22 – The aliens shall be to you as citizens, and shall also be allotted an inheritance. Zechariah 7:8-10 – Do not oppress the alien. Malachi 3:5 – The messenger will bear witness against those who thrust aside the alien. Matthew 5:10-11 –“Blessed are those who are persecuted.” Matthew 25:31-46 – “…I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” Luke 3:11 – “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none…” Romans 12:13 – “Mark of the true Christian: “…Extend hospitality to strangers…” Ephesians 2:11-22 – “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God.” Hebrews 13:1-2 – “…show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels…” James 2:14-17 – “What good is it…if you say you have faith but do not have works?” I John 3:18 – “…Let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.” I John 4:7-21 – “Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God…” We love because God first loved us.” You don't have to agree with this, but if you are a Christian, you must accept the teachings as they are the underpinning of the faith. All that the Bishop did was to refence the Christian faith, which is appropriate for a Christian Church. That's her job. If the Trumps wanted a celebration of hedonism, they should have gone for a debauched night at a Las Vegas casino, complete with strippers and hookers. It was a travesty to have multiple unrepentant adulterers sitting their smirking and treating the sermon as a political exercise and not a moment of attestation to the Christian faith.

You should not comment on Church administrative affairs and on a Church that you obviously know nothing about. Although, women are the backbone of most Churches, women are not "running" the church as you so ignorantly state. Participating Christians serve on the Executive Council. The Executive Chairman of the Council and the Primate is The Most Rev. Sean Rowe, and the last time I saw him interviewed, he was a man. The Chief of Mission is Rev. Lester V. Mackenzie and the majority of Bishops are men. The late Queen Elizabeth II was the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, for 70 years. My understanding is that she was praised and supported for her active role. No one was out protesting or objecting to her role. Perhaps you are confused with one of the satanic cults you may be more familiar with.

Peletier was not convicted of murder. Peletier was not pardoned. His sentence was commuted to home detention. He is 80 years old and in failing health. He has advanced diabetes with toe amputation and cellulitis, degenerative joint disease, hypertension, partial blindness and physical impairment from a stroke. He is dying. In effect. the US government has relieved itself of of $60,000+ of annual custody expense to care for an invalid who does not present as a threat to anyone. Caring for a dying inmate is an expensive undertaking. The man has served 47+ years, which is far longer than similar cases. The case against Peletier was questionable. The request for clemency was championed by the for Attorney for Iowa, who was responsible for defending the state on appeal, and arguing for the man's incarceration. That was his job as the federal State Attorney. Once out of his job and after review of the complete evidence file, some of which was withheld by the FBI, he ralized that the case had errors. The 1977 trial is marked by prosecutorial misconduct, including the forced testimony of witnesses, the withholding of exculpatory evidence, falsified affidavits, and most tellingly, the hiding of a ballistics report that established that the bullets that killed the agents were not from Peltier’s gun. Once these facts became public, the charges against Peltier were changed to “aiding and abetting” whoever did kill the agents, because he was present at the time of the shooting. How do you manage to fit your foot in your mouth? You know how Trump has criticized the FBI for misconduct? Well, this is an example of the FBI not having been forthcoming with exculpatory evidence and of the US Justice Department not providing the exculpatory information that it had. It looks like you disagree with Trump too.

She was merely preaching the gospel. Perhaps one day, you too shall hear the good word and understand. The membership in her Church has declined because may USians have turned away from the gospel and embraced a life of greed, gluttony, avarice, sloth and infidelity. It requires discipline, sincerity and integrity to be a good Christian, qualities which many people lack.

British tourist busted in Patong for cocaine possession

Celebrating is too early. The man does not even have his cabinet secretaries appointed yet. Many of the proposed secretaries are wholly inadequate for the roles they are nominated for. Others will become mired in scandal and disputes within the next two years. Some may be surprisingly good and may keep the USA from falling into the abyss of dysfunction. I wish all the best to the competent professionals Marco Rubio, Scott Bessent, and Howard Lutnick, It is also reassuring that the 4th and 5th in line for Presidential succession are Rubio and Bessent.
