I do not describe myself as an expert and have not shared my position on that matter. I am not "proving him wrong". Rather, I am pointing out that he has neither the full education, nor field experience that a qualified meteorologist has. You like him because the narrative supports your own personal bias. Who would you rather see for prostate cancer, an experienced urologist with years of treating the disease, or a person freshly graduated out of medical school, without any clinical experience and without advanced training in the subject? Using your logic, because they are both doctors, you would receive equivalent care from either one of them.

He is neither qualified, nor experienced enough to offer expert analysis. At best, he can read the weather on radio. He is a graduate of Millersville. It is not known for its R&D or as a center of excellence for meteorology. Once he has completed advanced education and training and had a few years of field experience and research under his belt, he can offer a credible opinion.

Musk claimed he would save $1 trillion. MAGA believed him. He did not deliver. This has had a negative impact on the budget, because the Trump administration promised tax reductions assuming that DOGE would deliver $1 trillion. Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) repeatedly claimed that Social Security claims were rife with fraud. A DOGE team member claimed that 40% of phone calls made to the Social Security administration in respect to direct deposit instructions were fraudulent. Musk claimed that tens of millions of dead people are still collecting benefits and Trump repeated the statement. Musk was wrong and was unable to provide any evidence to support his claims. He embarrassed the president, who tore a piece out of him for those statements. However, the final straw seems to have been when Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent held Musk accountable for his claims and promises. Bessent did what any responsible manager does when an employee blows hot air and doesn't deliver. Musk reportedly got into a physical confrontation with Bessent. Maybe Musk thought he could bully or intimidate the openly gay Bessent, but the Secretary is one tough guy and he didn't back down. There is no place for Musk's odd behavior in the WH. he was a loose cannon. Trump gave him every opportunity and stuck his neck out for him. Musk shot his mouth off about meeting with the Chinese. It was Trump who stopped that as soon as he found out. He gave Trump no other option. It has been reported that the republican congressional caucus and WH staff wanted him to go away as well. He was not described as a team player.

No it is not. More importantly, Senator Booker has a praiseworthy record on civil rights and respecting other people. He has the respect of Republican senators who have worked with him on multiple issues. The senator does not have a cloud of shame above him as does Mr. Musk. Mr. Musk has a history of statements and claims that are unhinged. Elon Musk Shared, Then Removed a Post Absolving Dictators for Genocide The post falsely claimed that Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler and Mao Zedong were not responsible for the murders of millions of people, but rather public sector workers were. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/technology/elon-musk-x-post-hitler-stalin-mao.html Mr. Musk has promoted and financed extreme right wing political groups around the world. https://www.thenation.com/article/world/elon-musk-neo-nazi-regime-change/

Foreign media are not in a position to verify the military use of hospitals,. They did not do it before. There is now documented evidence that hospitals were used for command and control, and barracks for Hamas. In all the previous years of foreign media access, not once did any journalist report on the issue. This was attributable to Hamas not allowing access and there not being any interest to investigate.

Was it lady's parts? If a transgender, I expect that it was a male presenting as a woman, and the sri lanka man wanted to check to make sure he was getting the penis option. Overall, the john is vile and disgusting. He was attempting to procure a prostitute, and then sought to humiliate the person by looking at their genitalia. Truly a disgusting man.

The silence from the contingent who are quick to shout Islamophobia at the slightest possible transgression is ongoing. They were quiet too when the two young diplomats attending a peace networking and humanitarian aid event were murdered. AOC and friends haven't said much have they? The Egyptian national was playing the asylum/refugee system with his stay in the USA. There was nothing the US could have done, once the man was in the "system" and following the legal procedure to appeal his denial of asylum. It wasn't the Biden administrations fault, anymore than it was the Trump's administration fault. He was still in the USA, despite the Trump initiative to remove unauthorized migrants. The man was quick to take advantage of US rights, liberties and fair treatment, but he was not willing to respect those rights and liberties for others. That says it all about his culture and mindset. I don't think he was "radicalized" by the war in Gaza. Rather, he had these sentiments all along. 42 year old men do not become "radicalized" like that. Younger people can and do. I expect that the man was a violent person from the start, and I anticipate someone will claim that he is bipolar or something soon enough. There is always an excuse for their violence.

Cute. There is just one itsy, bitsy detail that this great scheme overlooks: membership in NATO was never going to happen. There was no way that the USA and others were going to take on the risks and exposures that Ukraine would bring. It was never ever a viable option. No one trusted Ukraine. Ukraine was filled with Russian spies, and NATO did not need another member that leaked secrets and technology like Turkey.

There is no attack. It is just that your comments are often irrational and meandering, lashing out at sinister cadres. There is a significant amount of research that shows that long-term and/or heavy use of cannabis can cause people who are high to not know what is real, to have hallucinations and to demonstrate paranoia. It is a psychosis. Heavy use of cannabis may lead to development of psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia. The relationship between cannabis use and psychotic, bipolar, depressive, and anxiety disorders, has been documented. For Example; Cannabis Use and the Risk for Psychosis and Affective Disorders:Lucia Sideli, PhD ,Harriet Quigley , MBBS, MRes, MRCPsych ,Caterina La Cascia, PhD & Robin M. Murray, MD, FRS Pages 22-42 |Journal of Dual Diagnosis 24 Oct 2019

Looks like a tire impact damage. Lucky ,you didn't lose control. Get rid of the spare tire. At 12 years of age, the rubber is degraded. Sitting in a hot trunk doesn't keep the rubber pristine. If your vehicle uses full size spares, you can probably get by using one of the existing 3 year old tires. At 3 years of age, you will need to replace at least 2 of the tires.

Russia has refused to engage in peace talks. This is why Trump blew a gasket. Russia has been throwing a lot already at Ukraine. All that ordinance, and equipment costs money. Russia has been spending money on it, money that could have been spent on taking care of Russia. Infrastructure, healthcare, R&D, sports and culture have all been neglected and seen decreases in funding. There is just so long a country can go without investing in itself before it starts to crumble. Russia has spent in excess of US $300 billion on the war. That's a lot of and Russians will be paying for it for years to come. https://www.russiamatters.org/blog/3-years-later-what-russias-aggression-ukraine-has-cost-it-and-what-its-gained You are playing word games when you write that Russia has not declared was on Ukraine "officially". The fact is that its actions were an act of war. Because a mugger does not inform you that they will be mugging you does not mean the crime is not a mugging. It is the wrongful act that determines the crime. Ukraine is eroding the Russian military, and Russians at some point will say enough.

Report Danish Man Missing in Thailand: Family Urges for Public Assistance
Patong2021 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The police can only do so much. If they intervene and detain, they are called draconian and nanny state. If the man was coherent, not suicidal or threatening, and capable of understanding right from wrong, then the police cannot hold him without violating his civil rights. The reality is that another person with mental health issues went to Thailand. The Thai immigration department does not have the tools to screen people like this, nor can they be expected to. If the man was deemed a danger to himself, then the intervention should have come from the Danish government or the Danish family to request that the man be sent back to Denmark for care. Thailand has many mentally ill westerners and social deviants because it tolerates marginalized people far better than western society does. -
Report New Covid-19 Variant NB.1.8.1 Gains Ground in Thailand
Patong2021 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The symptoms can appear milder in people. This is not the same as the virus being less lethal or less damaging. A person's response to an infection reflects underlying immunity and health conditions. If the person is immunized or has immunity due to a previous infection, the symptoms of infection are usually milder. The mildness of symptoms does not necessarily mean that the infection is not damaging. Covid 19 is an inflammatory disease. It can damage the the cardiovascular system. Just as people who have high blood pressure or other heart disease do not experience the damage until it manifests itself with a heart attack or stroke or kidney disease, so too can can damage occur with Covid 19. It can be a cumulative damage. It's like drink in excess. One can quickly recover at age 19. One cannot quickly recover at age 69. -
The Russian airforce bases were used by aircraft that fly sorties against Ukraine. This made them a legitimate and necessary target. The defensive mission by Ukraine may reduce the potential for Russian bombing missions. At the very least, it inflicted some pain on the Russians who have refused to enter into peace talks with Ukraine and who betrayed Trump's peace initiative. It is not an escalation to defend oneself. There is no requirement for a nation being bombed not to try and reduce or prevent the bombing attacks. A promise to look at development is not the same as providing technology for the immediate use. The development can be cancelled or delayed, and the end product may not be available for 3-5 years. It is a PR gesture more than anything else.

Nowhere close. I was the guy who walked into swamp quick mud, or who walked on the hornets nest, or would be peeing and get surprised by a large water monitor. I still knock my footwear, even when indoors, to dislodge sting/biting insects that might have crawled in.

The age of meeting is already acknowledged. Candace Owens, is merely repeating what has been stated in the past. Candace Owens is justifiably a pariah and knows nothing. She occupies the fringes of the extreme right movement and even there, she is ridiculed for her unhinged statements as she desperately tries to carve out a place of relevance. She joins Milo Hanrahan aka Milo Yiannopoulos in the cringe zone.

The comment which called anti semitic met the definition. It was intended to offend and to perpetuate a negative stereotype. I was raised to speak out when I saw such hateful activity. Unlikeable? My not accepting an immature and spiteful comment intended to wind people up has nothing to do with likeability. Your attempts to get attention are tedious and an insult to the intelligence of others. We all know your act is contrived, and it wore out its entertainment factor a long time ago. Good for you and your transgender campaign. I do hope that you can visit Gaza or the arab palestinian territories one day so that you can discuss your transgender beliefs with them. I am sure that they will share their hospitality with you as they have a special welcome for LGBQTs. You are not fooling anyone. You don't like juden. We all get it. You are just too much of a coward to come out and say it explicitly . Instead, you will find a way to justify your promotion of hateful comment. Your word's certainly make it clear that you do. The war in gaza, gave cover for people like you to come out from your hiding places and spew your hate. No doubt you dislike some other groups too. Stop blaming others for your circumstances. You have not done well in life because of you and your own poor choices and limitations.

Cute. The deaths in Gaza are primarily due to the direct action of the Gazan initiated war. Most of the casualties were direct participants, such as Hamas or Islamic Jihad personnel. Others died while engaged as supply and logistics workers, and others died while working as command and control personnel. And then there were the "civilian' casualties that came about because Hamas put ammunition bunkers in residential areas, or concealed their command and control centers in residential districts. Others died when Gazan missiles and rockets fell short or detonated during launch. A large number of Gazan munitions self detonate. All these casualties are blamed on Israel and are treated as innocent civilian deaths. If you want to see a genocide, spend some time looking at the Darfur. The dead are estimated to be in excess of 100,000. There is an actual starvation crisis in Darfur. And yet not a word from people like you. Why is that? Is it because their is a bais against black africans, or is it that the mass murders carried out by Islamic militias are acceptable?
