He is a resident of Arizona. Under Arizona law, you do not need a background check to buy a gun from a private party in Arizona. He can go to one of the weekly gun shows and purchase anything he wants.

Poor Pattaya. It's beach will soon offer the same aroma as a cat's old litter box.

Yes, because the man is obviously mentally unstable. He agreed to the diagnosis too. In an interview, defense lawyer Albert Watkins said that officials at the federal Bureau of Prisons, or BOP, have diagnosed his client Jacob Chansley with transient schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety. He said Chansley's 2006 mental health records from his time in the U.S. Navy show a similar diagnosis to the BOP's https://www.reuters.com/world/us/exclusive-qanon-shaman-plea-negotiations-after-mental-health-diagnosis-lawyer-2021-07-23/ The ease with which a mentally ill violent man can obtain a firearm sums up what is wrong with the USA and with many of the aprticipants in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Because you cannot offer a reasonable justification for the pardoning of violent insurrectionists who attacked peace officers, you attack a senator for expressing a sentiment shared by tens of millions of US citizens. You may not care what the senator "thinks", but his constituents do, since they elected him with a large majority multiple times. Sen. Schiff is a sincere believer in law and order and made his bones when he prosecuted the case against Richard Miller, a former FBI agent who spied for the Russians. Apparently, you also disrespect those who defend the USA against enemy agents.

The Anti-Defamation League, an organisation founded to combat antisemitism, does not agree. "It seems that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute" .

Yes he is. He left South Africa because of it.

My comment was in respect to Alex Soros NOT Elon Musk. And you should have looked at Elon's gesture rather than rely on a biased report. Elon was expressing his love for the crowd, going from his heart to the crowd. It was awkward and ill advised but NOT a nazi salute. If you have seen Korean and Japanese romcom's on Netflix or pop groups, it is something they do as well. They throw their love to the crowd. There was no intent to do a nazi salute The Anti-Defamation League, an organisation founded to combat antisemitism, did not agree with the attempt to call it a nazi salute and stated; "It seems that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute," Once again we see another example of faux outrage.

I was wondering if you were looking for attention, or if you were really this ignorant and hateful. Looks like you really are a bigoted, ignorant, hateful person. The appointment of an ambassador in the free world is not based upon religious affiliation. Your position holds that someone of jewish heritage is not qualified to be an ambassador because of that heritage and your own hateful belief of a jewish conspiracy. You are wrong. Hundreds of thousands of jews have served their countries in various capacities ranging from the military, to government to public institutions. The world would be in much worse shape if their contributions had been excluded. Israel has indeed appointed Arabs as Ambassadors. Both Muslims and Christians have served. Arabs also serve in the Israeli military (as they do the UK & US military) and sit in Israel's parliament. I am unaware of one Arab country that has allowed jews similar rights and positions.

Considering your own circumstances, have you stopped drinking? Beware the fate of Trent Tiger Pants.

Some of the forum contributors describe them as freedom fighters, great leaders, oppressed, blah, blah, blah.

Trump insisted it was his achievement. 😃 He should have kept his. mouth shut. Ok, in fairness to both Biden and Trump, they did what they had to do to bring this to an end. Criticizing the two of them for the agreement, is foolish as the war was at an impasse. Israel wasn't achieving anything now other than to give haters a reason to hate. The protests and in the western world were causing problems and it is obvious that western governments were not going to stop the protests. It is unfair to blame either Biden or Trump for this.

No worries, people like you will revive their popularity with your shrill lecturing, blaming, insulting, demeaning, bullying and accusatory language. Typically, people are pushed to vote for groups you call left. All it takes is a small shift in an electorate's preference and poof there is a change in government. 2 years is not so long in US politics and if the Trump agenda is pushed through millions of US nationals will experience the impact of social spending reductions. Couldn't happen to some more deserving people. Wait until Elon rolls out the CCTV program borrowed from China.

Secretary Austin is certainly better qualified than the nominee, and saw more direct combat action too. You dismiss other secretaries of defense as creeps. Maybe some of them were, but that does not justify appointing another "creep", or more accuratelynan unqualified candidate. The secretary of defense did not "waste" anyone's life in Vietnam. The responsibility for the Vietnam war rests with United States government and its people's belief in the. communist domino theory. Nor did the Secretary of Defense initiate the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Trup is not changing anything. He is appointing a yes man with no demonstrated management skills or senior leadership capabilities.

The particulate is always heavy along Phet Kasem because of the vehicle traffic. However, the dust levels are high all over from the railway road down to Phet Kasem. It seems worse, especially inside from the night market on down to the Hilton. It is not as bad on the beach.

Well, since you have brought the subject up, there is a stark difference in the condition of LA County (or even the tourist destinations of North Carolina, Virginia, Florida et al) beaches and those of Thailand. There is no trash on the US beaches. They have garbage cans regularly spaced and people have been taught not to litter. There are also restrooms on their beaches. My walk on the Hua Hin beach this afternoon was distinguished by dead fish, horse manure, plastic cups/containers/straws and plastic bottles. You don't see that in the US beach locations you were mentioning. Yes, there is a hygiene problem with parts of LA. Most people don't visit skid row so don't have to deal with it. The city does hose the place down with disinfectant. Yes, the vagrants and mentally ill cause a mess in LA and elsewhere however, they are not destroying public beaches, not even in Venice, CA. India doesn't clean anything period. It is a nation where people throw their trash over a neighbor's wall and think nothing of it. And please don't mention the quality of Thailand's beach water. When is the last time the government released a water quality reading? There is a reason why they won't do it. You need only look at Patong Bay to understand why.

Trump did not win in a landslide. Trump did not even win a majority of the votes. Are you illiterate and do not understand what a landslide win is? Harris 75,019,257 votes (48.4%) Trump 77,303,573 votes (49.9%) Yes, Trump received more votes that Harris and won the electoral college allocation of votes. This does not make it a landslide victory. For reference sake a landslide presidential election result was; Lincoln v. McClellan Reagan v. Carter Nixon v. McGovern Reagan v. Mondale FDR v. Landon

I don't think people realize how bad it is until they get here and then it is too late, and even they most probably don't notice. I walked around Hua Hin last night and the number of older tourists sitting in the entertainment areas surrounded by dust and vehicle fumes, and puffing away on their cigarettes suggests they don't care. The Indians and Chinese probably think Thailand is great because the air quality is better than what they are used to. There's a been a gray haze hanging over Hua Hin since New Years. I guess it's a gift from Bangkok that has blown down.

There has been no genocide. If there had been one we would not have had this farce of a confrontaion drag on for months. Israel would have gone in and laid waste to Gaza in 3 months, much as the Arabs do when they have a similar event.

Mr. Blumenthal's parents were nominally jewish. However, he neither practices judaism, nor identifies as Jewish. He is a jew of convenience when it provides cover for some of his more hateful positions. This is a man who in the past decade was a staunch supporter of Syria's Assad, who denied the presence of torture facilities right up until they were documented after the departure of Assad. He is a mouthpiece for Russian propaganda and is compensated for it. Because someone is born with a heritage, does not necessarily make them a practioner of a religious faith. Understandably for some, the Nuremburg laws should apply, but in today'sreality, the best that can be said is that he is a person who is compensated to attack Israel, the USA and the rest of the free world. He is entitled to his views, but he should not be held out as a jew,because he isn't.

Did the Patong Police enforce the helmet and license requirement? So many people distressed. Try and live or work with them. Been there, done that. All I can say, is bon appetit. France brought this upon itself, but I wish France kept their creation to themselves.

If there is any spare outrage please send some to Hua Hin. The Beach horse handlers piss in the beach sois. Their horses also leave alot of debris on the beach. Too many horses now, so there is lots of manure. I recall inadvertently stepping on human feces at the Delhi railway station. They are not a clean society. If they spent just a bit of their nuclear weapons budget on public hygiene, they might not be so dirty.

Rubbish, because you cannot offer one intelligent counter argument.

People with something to lose, have a different approach, They will take into consideration the following in no particular order; - Impact on family (inclusing childcare and education) - Access to quality healthcare -Tax implications - Cost of maintaining the desired lifestyle including housing Thailand attracts alot of lower income and lower social positioned people. They are not going to do better elsewhere.

So you have never used or benefited from the Thai transportation infrastructure? You know, the airports, roads, BTS, SRT and domestic airlines? You may have not had to use the services of the Thai healthcare, fire or police services but they are all there and will benefit you if you need them. The people who service your demands at the retailers, government offices, restuarants, hotels et al all have to be educated and assisted like any other nation does. The cost to deliver the electricity and water you receive and use are not covered by the user fees. It's the government that pays for the dams and electricity and water delivery network. And so on. Unless you are already paying coprorate and personal income tax, you are most likely one of the majority to takes more than he pays.

Nice try. VAT does not cover anywhere close to what the government is spending for your benefit. In Thailand, VAT represents 33% of tax revenues. You receive far more in services than you contribute in VAT.
