The refusal to meet with Putin until he agreed to a ceasefire and to meaningful peace negotiations was reasonable. Mr. Trump has come to the same conclusion, and is finally seeing that Putin has no interest in peace. Russia will not be happy until it destroys Ukraine and is terrorizing the EU into submission.

Not at all. Health professionals do not control the regulation of pharmaceuticals. The US FDA is responsible for determining whether or not a drug is OTC, behind the counter or by prescription only. The product here is very powerful and should only be used for the listed illness. The reason the drug is controlled is to prevent misuse and the creation of drug resistant infections. Also, some people should not take the drug because of underlying chronic conditions The under use is attributable to; 1. Poverty: The drug is expensive, and most people do not have drug or health coverage that covers the full cost. 2. Access: Rural and small town locations are not always close to a pharmacy that carries the product. Older and chronically ill people may not have the means to access a pharmacy. 3. Misinformation: There is so much false and misleading information, that a large number of people are hesitant to use the product, or are aware of how and when to use it. 4. Late diagnosis: As per the article, it takes far too long to identify Covid and to access appropriate treatment Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy has been in the job for 5 months now. If this was a priority for him, the regulation would have been changed. He has a more important task now: Trying to link vaccines and autism. 🤑

Then she made medical history. Menopause usually concludes between ages 45 and 55. Perhaps it is best yo leave women's health to the medical specialists. 🫠

Applying real sanctions against Russia. The west say they apply sanctions, but then it violates the intent by doing special financial deals.

You are unreasonable with your finger pointing and moral judgement. Patients like this are uncontrollable unless heavily medicated and/or restrained. This was an autistic child with pica. It is next to impossible to stop these people from eating anything and everything. They must be supervised 24/7. You judge the grandparents who were struggling just to survive. They were living in poverty. Their attention was given to basic survival first. It is exhausting to surveille an autistic child. The outbursts, the temper tantrum etc, wear people out. This was one very disturbed subject, and it is unlikely that you would have done any better.

The data does not support your conclusion in respect to muslims or Islamists. The information you reference is in respect to immigrant workers as a group. Nor can one extrapolate from a total number because the influence of religious doctrine is well documented. There is no denying that some people of North African origin work in the hospitality trade. However, they are not necessarily Islamists. By definition an Islamist is one who is an advocate or supporter of Islamic fundamentalism; a person who advocates increasing the influence of Islamic law in politics and society. This would not be compatible with work in some sectors. Islamists are people who are close adherents of their religion and its belief system. If a person is a devout muslim, they will NOT take on any activity that is haram. The people you refer to may have been of North African religion and may even be nominal muslims, but if they are working with alcohol and pork then they cannot and will not be devout muslims. There is a reason why some airlines do not serve pork or alcohol products. Saudia, Air Arabia, Kuwait Airways, Pakistani International, Egyptair, and some others serve millions of passengers every year. Those passengers would not get on the aircraft if alcohol was on board, nor would many crew members.

Careful. The Kewpie products come in various recipes, and most Kewpie mayonnaise based products are full of sugar. Only the Japanese style mayonnaise option has no sugar. Kewpie Thailand does not declare the preservatives in its products. Nor does it declare thickening agent (processed starch, xanthan gum), seasoning (amino acid), or acidulant, In the EU and USA it must be declared. Tartar Sauce Japanese Style KEWPIE Brand : Soybean oil 37%, Eggs 17%, Sugar 14%, Onion 9%, Distilled vinegar 4%, Salt 2% Mayonnaise Mild Type KEWPIE Brand: Soybean oil 74%, Eggs 12%, Sugar 6%, Vinegar 4% Sandwich Spread KEWPIE Brand: Soybean oil 43%, Sugar 18%, Pickled cucumber 9%, Egg yolk 6%, Vinegar 4%, Carrot 3% Salad Cream KEWPIE: Soybean oil 53%, Sugar 17%, Fructose syrup 7%, Vinegar 6%, Egg yolk 5%

Not anymore. French muslims are unemployed at approx. 2X the rate of non muslim French citizens. The hardest jobs to fill in France are; - Waiters in cafés and restaurants - Wine growers, arborists and pickers - General-purpose kitchen staff - Cleaners of business and industrial premises - Salaried farmers and agricultural workers - Home helpers and housekeepers - Caregivers - Professionals in socio-cultural activities, such as entertainers and directors - Unskilled packaging and handling workers - Cooks Islamists will avoid work in places where non halal food is handled, or prepared. Nor will they work in places that involve haram- forbidden products and activities such as pork-related products, alcohol, gambling, and pornography. Slaughterhouses are always understaffed, and muslims avoid the non muslim sector.

Apps are efficient and more appealing to the younger workers. The women are having fun when the meter is running. The stories are old, the johns are recycled and it's the same M.O. day in, day out. You can't really believ that the bar workers are into the customers. They are customers to be milked for as much money as possible. They love them long time only as long as the money flows. Barboys and bargirls are not likely to gain income from drinks. In Hua Hin, drink revenue usually goes to the pimp/barowner. It is not as if the bars have issued POS devices to the staff to allow for tracking of orders. As it is, most of the bars still rely on writing paper receipts for the drinks. The receipts do not show who gets the credit for the order. Staff might be able to keep some tips, but usually, when the tip is put into the payment book, the tip money is sometimes kept by the bar manager and sometimes distributed to the workers. The only way a bar worker keeps a tip is when they are discreetly paid by the customer.

The prostitution business has changed. The cheap and filthy beer bars and their quasi brothel approach to the sex trade is stuck in the 1980's. If a sex worker wants a quality trick, they rely on an app. They have better things to do than hang around tacky smoke filled beer bars pestered by unattractive elderly men. Apps are more efficient and more profitable. The younger sex workers prefer the apps. Many of the younger workers have other jobs too and can work part time. Apps are good match for them. Bintabaht is on life support and even in high season bars are more often empty than full. Soi 80 is sometimes busy, but the average age of customers is above 70 years. The newer entertainment development on soi 94 is a white elephant. Many bars, and many with few customers. Little parking, bad traffic and the air is bad because of all the dust and debris from the construction. The people who work in these districts are hard core sex trade workers. They are the leftovers from a bygone era, servicing lower socio economic tier farangs who are dying off. The beer bar districts as we know them will be gone in the next 10-20 years. Younger people don't want to go to them because they are dull, boring, dirty and filled with creepy losers.

We do not have the true and full history. If the accused was being bullied and harassed over time, it is understandable why he might suddenly explode one day. Or, this may have been a sudden outburst. Kids of that age do not fully understand the concept of deadly consequences and many do not have a developed form of self control. And some kids who are being bullied and/or taxed are backed into a corner. It is much like a prison. If one does not fight back, one gets exploited forever. Yes, it looks abnormal. However, without knowing the history, we do not know if the victim had a role in the mental illness. The claims that the child was carrying over a feud may be an adult's biased view. Some kids do not get along with each other, but almost always, those feuds are forgotten over time.

If you have been at the beach all day and are covered in dried out sea salt, sun block lotion, sand and sweat, it is nice to rinse off before going home or to an onward event. Some people are heavy duty exercisers and wish to rinse off before taking the songthaw or a mototaxi or Grab, or eating or shopping. When we use the Pines recreation facility, my friends and I sometimes use the wash area to wash off some of the goop collected during the day. It can be a 20-30 minute drive home depending on traffic and it's uncomfortable sitting in sand infused shorts. Jelly fish are bad here too and it is important to rinse off in jelly fish season.

That is actually what the source of the problem in the middle East is. The Arab population expanded and started to colonize the region. The area known as Saudi Arabia once had a sizeable jewish population. The Arabs forced them out, often killing their rivals. Same thing in Babylonia and the land some call Palestine. The Hebrews/Israelites have been experiencing land encroachment and invasion from the surrounding arab populations for centuries. Today, that history has transformed the victim of colonial oppression into the villian. And now we see it play out western countries, where the Arabs arrive in large numbers . First as welcome immigrants "merchants" and "students" as was the case in the Middle East, and then they start their demands and take over. It is playing out in parts of Europe now, Some areas are only safe for muslims. Malmo, some of the arrondisements of Paris, parts of Birmingham, Bradford, Luton, and parts of London. All enabled and facilitated by paid off hacks like George Galloway and a cabal of malcontents like Diane Abbott and Jeremy Corbyn.

Your statement demonstrates that you really do not understand the automobile industry and the concept of components, parts and supply. In 2024, Brazil imported US $8.29 Billion of Cars, In 2024, the main origins of Brazil's Cars imports were: China ($3.14B), Argentina ($2.39B), Mexico ($758M), Germany ($561M), and United States ($285M). The fastest growing origin country for Brazil's auto imports is China - up US $2.05 Billion (2023 - 2024) https://oec.world/en/profile/bilateral-product/cars/reporter/bra China's investments in Brazil will allow it to gain a larger share of the automobile market. The factories will use Chinese sourced parts as well as locally sourced parts. The USA manufacturing plants will be shut out of a growing market. Brazil's 2023 Vehicle sales were 2.18 million, an 11.3% increase from 2022. 2024 had a 13.9% year-on-year increase in vehicle sales. Brazil’s EV market is growing and driven by foreign automakers like BYD and Chery establishing production facilities in the country. As a result, Brazil is emerging as a key regional hub for EV manufacturing in South America. Many parts and components are foreign sourced. They won't be US sourced parts and components. The Trump tariff plans are doing long term damage to the US economy . The US will not be a player in foreign markets because of US trade policy. Trump and MAGA antagonize, belittle and insult potential trading partners who then turn to China to replace the US sourced products.

The victim was not "hiso". The perp had a well deserved negative reputation.

I don't know why Macron is being blamed. France invited these people in. There were 2 large waves of north African arabs; 1913-1921 and 1947 - 1953, where they were used for cheap labour. France was encouraging them to immigrate. The WEF wasn't around when the North africans arrived in large numbers.

No they cannot. For example, there are no toilet facilities or accessible garbage bins on Hua Hin beach. 4 km long. I often walk the beach and there have been days when I needed to pee. The only options are the 2 malls near the middle of the beach. If one is at one end of the beach, it can be a 1-2 km walk back, plus 10-5 minute walk from the beach and crossing a very busy road. It can take 30 minutes to get to the toilet. We can all say it is wrong to crap on the street, and it is, but anyone who has had food poisoning here will attest to the inability to control one's bowels. Sometimes, when it flows it flows.

The Inuit of Canada and Greenland have a common culture, similar language and have established close ties over the past 50 years. Your pathetic attempt to lecture falls flat because the northern development takes into account the obligation to obtain permission and consent from native peoples. Resource development on native lands in Canada is very different than what is seen in the USA. It is done through a partnership or joint venture with native peoples because the land is either Crown controlled or the first nations people have mineral rights. Greenland. operates in the same way. And if you can take a few minutes from your finger pointing. note that there was no slaughter of "Indians" because "Indians" do not live in the far north. The Inuit people do. Inuit are not "Indians". It is a different culture.

How do unauthorized immigrants access medicare or Medicaid? When did they change the rules to grant coverage? Medicare is for people age 65 and older. That age group qualifies for Social Security retirement benefits because they are retired and not working. Do you now demand that able bodied 70 or 80 or 90 year olds work in order to qualify for Medicare? The able bodied people who are accessing Medicaid benefits are often working low wage jobs. They qualify because they are below the poverty line. Other people may be able bodied but are unemployable. Would you really want some of these misfits volunteering to work in nursing homes where they could abuse vulnerable people? Others are willing to work but cannot find a job in their region, while others are turned away because they are too problematic, like too stupid to be trusted with even basic tasks. A large portion of the USA's poor have below average intelligence levels. In plain language, they are so limited intellectually that they cannot work, even though they are able bodied.

Trump will back down and fold like he did with the Chinese. The collapse of the US position when faced with the Chinese discipline has set the example for the rest of the world and it is paying off for the Chinese. Chinese automaker GAC announced this past week its product launch in Brazil, and its intention to build a new factory in the in late 2026. In 2025, GAC announced its plans to invest 6 billion reais (US$1.06 billion) in Brazil over five years. The vehicles it will sell in Brazil are lost sales opportunities for US auto exports.

Your points were refuted in detail. Are you denial? Your response is infantile and rather stupid. Facts were provided. If you disagree, then state what was factually incorrect. In typical MAGA fashion, when confronted with the truth you fall back to false accusations and the denial of reality. Wrong. The Canadian mining sector has a relatively large footprint in Greenland. Much of the mining activity to date has been prospecting and identifying potential mineral resources. The Canadian Gold mining company Amaroq Minerals Ltd. has multiple mine licenses and has been trying to identify and locate the key valuable mineral deposits, Brunswick is another Canadian prospector looking for lithium. Lumina Sustainable Materials is the Greenland/Danish entity that operates the massive anorthosite mine. Canadian based Neo Performance Minerals has been hunting for rare earth metals for some time. The new mining investment was in progress long before Trump made his ignorant statements.The new activity required public hearings and an environmental assessment before the license could be approved. These investments do not occur overnight. The mining activity and prospecting is public knowledge. The heavy presence of Canadian firms reflects the Canadian expertise in far north resource development and the shared culture of Canada's far north Inuit people and their brothers and sisters in Greenland. The Canadians by their own experience with the Inuit and resource development on native lands have learnt how to work with the local people, to build a consensus and to be respectful of local culture. This is something Trump followers don't get. They threaten to march in and steal what is not theirs and then they wonder why the locals don't want to deal with the USA.

Some of your arguments, do not line up with actual US experience or practice. Lack of Formal Investment Proposals: If the US did not present concrete investment proposals, that is a reflection of the viability of the Trump demand to take over Greenland. Trump was all bluster and empty promises. The Europeans were less talk and more action. Regulatory and Legal Challenges: US mining company's would not be deterred by the state control of mineral rights in Greenland. In Canada, like Greenland, the "state" owns mineral rights. This has not stopped US mining and energy companies from dominating the industry and owning/operating multiple mining operations. The US government as the largest land owner in the USA is also one of the largest mineral rights holders in the the USA. Energy and mining companies lease land for their activity. MN owns 1/4 of all mineral rights in the state, and the state has a sizeable mining sector. Perceived Political Instability: Greenland is a stable democracy. Foreign investors in Greenland are not scared by the US aggression. Infrastructure and Operational Challenges: Greenland's climate is harsher but so too are the Alaskan and Canada's northern climate. US development projects were already underway long before trump. There are already two mines in operation now . New development was already underway. In 2022 80 Mile Plc and mineral exploration company KoBold Metals, backed by billionaires including Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates,are searching for critical materials used in electric vehicles. Anglo American mining has had a footprint in Greenland for years as it searches for minerals. USA was all talk.

Thai people often smile at the mentally infirm. It allows them to avoid an unwanted exchange. Hopefully, you were not drooling at the time.

Won't happen. He rubs people the wrong way. Ivanka doesn't want the aggravation and has little patience for stupid people. Vance will not be elected president. Even Republicans don't like him. Rubio has a better chance to be the nominee, if he can survive. The midterms will be a surprise for some people, and midterms almost always punish the party in power.

There are very few luxury cruise lines left. Carnival owns Cunard and Seabourn. They were once known for their quality and high standards. Now they operate with the Carnival Cruise line mindset. They still price out as luxury though. If the cruise lines visit Thailand, they treat Bangkok as a port of call. Cunard's Queen Anne does the Sydney-Singapore-Hong Kong-Los Angeles route and excludes Thailand. Everywhere, but Thailand. Seabourn bypasses Thailand too. It prefers Vietnam. Regent is an alternative, but is very expensive, A nice suite is USD 15,000 per person+ for a 2 week cruise. It departs Bangkok, and usually only does one stop for a day either Ko Samui or Phuket.
