  1. Oh look, another person who can not comprehend basic science.
  2. The Iranian regime has been opposed to the UK and USA since the mullahs took over. Jewish colonial project? Jews have always been in Israel. Jews come from the region of Judea. You are blaming the UK now. What do you think Turkey was doing occupying the Middle East? The UK and France filled the power vacuum after the Turkish Empire collapsed. Why are you fixated on Israel? You do know that the same process that recognized Israel created Jordan, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. It also recognized the borders of Egypt, Syria and Iraq. If Israel is a colonial project started by Egypt, then every country in an land previously dominated by the UK is not legitimate. That means that the USA is not a legitimate nation.
  3. Nonsense. That's Schumer trying to get some political traction.The limited action was withing the powers of the President. There was no war declaration. How many times does it have to be repeated that Iran did not consider the agreement as a limitation on its pursuit of nuclear arms? The Iranian leadership stated that within a week of the agreement. Pakistan has nominated the President for the Nobel Peace Prie for his work in defusing the India Pakistan war. They were already backing Iran. No. Iran and Hamas launched their attack to block the peace agreement between Saudi Arabia and Israel that was in the works.
  4. More nonsense from you. Iran was instrumental in propping up the Assad regime - Approx. 650,000 dead 14 million refugees. Iran supports Houthis and was instrumental in civil war - Approx. 250,000 dead 2 million refugees Iran supports Hezbollah as a state within Lebanon and has tried to overthrow the Lebanese government Depending upon when one starts the meter, tens of thousands dead, and hundreds of thousand refugees. Iran proxy tried to overthrow Bahrain government. Iran backed militants tried to sabotage UAE Iran backed Shiite militias have tried to continue a civil war. Iran backed Hamas and its terrorism. Iran has tried to assassinate Trump Iran is pledged to the destruction of the UK Iran is pledged to the destruction of the USA. Tell us again how only Israel has a problem with Iran.
  5. Get a grip. This was a limited target specific event. Nuclear risks were reduced.
  6. Do you have any data to support your statement? The data I see shows an increase in both foreign residents and tourist visitors. In respect to foreign residents; As a hub for intraregional migration and main destination country in Southeast Asia, Thailand hosts at least 5.3 million non-Thai nationals, marking an 8 per cent increase compared to nearly 4.9 million non-Thai population as indicated in the last report. 2024 data from https://www.who.int/thailand/news/feature-stories/detail/thailand-migration-report-2024#:~:text=As a hub for intraregional,indicated in the last report. Perhaps some foreigners with marginal incomes, or in ill health or who cannot satisfy the visa requirements have departed. They have been replaced by other people who can.
  7. Another wind up from a newly minted name.
  8. Come back and lecture me when you have read the ruling.It is obvious that you have not.
  9. What are you on about? Seriously. The judgement has nothing to do with what you are claiming. Have you read the court's opinion? Please take the time to do so, because you are attaching your own opinion to the court's. This was a case in respect to the existing Constitutional provision that relates to Equal Protection Guarantees. The court was not ruling on the validity of gender dysphoria. The court opinion is very clear; The Court’s role is not “to judge the wisdom, fairness, or logic” of SB1, but only to ensure that the law does not violate equal protection guarantees. It does not. The court opinion Held that Tennessee’s law prohibiting certain medical treatments for transgender minors is not subject to heightened scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and satisfies rational basis review. The TN law incorporates two classifications: one based on age (allowing certain medical treatments for adults but not minors) and another based on medical use (permitting puberty blockers and hormones for minors to treat certain conditions but not to treat gender dysphoria, gender identity disorder, or gender incongruence). Classifications based on age or medical use are subject to only rational basis review. This is a court opinion that gives authority to a state to determine how medical care will be administered. In effect, it allows the state of TN to determine which medical conditions can or cannot be treated. If the health provider choose to classify the gender dysphoria as something else or offer an additional unspecified condition, treatment can still be obtained. Nor is the restriction national. It is specific to one set of circumstances and to one specific state. As I previously stated, a person from TN can obtain the treatments in another state that does not have the restriction. This is not the big deal you make it out to be, and as for the transgender lobby, they too are excited over an issue that will impact only a small number of poor people. As is the norm in the USA, the poor will be denied access to the procedure, while those with money will be able to access it. To put it cruelly and crudely, in the end we will see nicely dressed transgenders, rather than Walmart fashion transgenders.
  10. How many people? Did you review the medical files and know the reason for the procedures? What are your medical qualifications to perform treatment assessment review?
  11. Iran has enriched uranium. Iran is pledged to the destruction of Israel and the elimination of every jew on planet earth. Iran is also calling for the end of the UK and the USA. Would you be ok if you were followed by someone for years threatening to kill you and who had already made multiple attempts, including previous attacks that resulted in the death and injury to your family members? That person was repeatedly given court orders to stay away, but chose to violate them. The person was even incarcerated for a time, but still chose violence. That person was armed and planning to attack again. Would you not intervene?
  12. There was a lead up of many years. Iran has been implicated in much of the regional conflict. It propped up the murderous regime of Assad, creating 14 millions of refugees, many of whom poured into the west. It has tried to overthrow the government of Bahrain, funded subversives in Saudi Arabia, funded the Yemen civil war and Houthi, financed and supported Hezbollah, the Shiite terrorist group who have formed a state of their own within Lebanon, attempted to split and disrupt Iraq through its backing of Shiite militias, funded and armed Hamas, and is sworn to the complete destruction of Israel and Jews. It is also sworn to the destruction of the USA and UK. This makes it a hostile state and a state with a violent and evil intent. The intervention has not come as a sudden event. The initial JCPAO intent was to limit the Iranian nuclear program in return for sanctions relief and other trade and financial provisions. It was supposed to be a waypoint to Iran's agreement to not pursue nuclear weapons. It was obvious that Iran would not respect the intent and the Iranian leadership said so itself. There comes a time when a tough decision has to be made.The fact is that the EU, Russia and China were not able to influence Iran. Iran continued to support and to plan violence. Why should Israel be expected to allow Iran to obtain its desired nuclear war heads and wait to be incinerated? Why should the Gulf Arab nations of UAE, Oman, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia be subject to bullying and threats to overthrow their governments or even be at risk of the Shiities dropping a nuke on the Sunnis? Why should the USA and UK who have been threatened multiple times have to wait until Iran has a live nuclear weapon to threaten them with? Well, there comes a time when the violent sociopath who terrorizes and threatens the neighborhood has to be dealt with. That time is now. The Gulf Arab states, USA, and UK are letting Israel do the dirty work, all the while giving a public display of "concern". As long as China can access the cheap oil ad gas, it won't really care. And if Russia is assured that there won't be another hostile nation in proximity, it may just sit on the sidelines. The west has learnt from past mistakes, and Syria proves that. Despite the loss of an ally in Assad, Russia still has its naval base and operations base in Syria. The hatred for the USA, UK and Israel motivates many people to rally in support of Iran. Take a hint from Shiite Pakistan, which has been surprisingly quiet on the issue. There is a reason for that. Not many in the Sunni Arab world are rallying to help Iran. Why do you think that is?
  13. Is it time already for another military coup?
  14. I think he is regenerating.
  15. Thailand's national team has some personalities; Chanathip Songkrasin, team captain & midfielder. Outgoing personality. James Beresford , defender. Nice guy Ben Davis, midfielder. Women go nuts over him. My friends get very excited when they play, until they lose, and then they are not interested,
  16. Much ado about nothing. The Komodo analysis of insurance claims found 56 genital surgeries among patients ages 13 to 17 with a prior gender dysphoria diagnosis from 2019 to 2021. Hardly, a crisis. The people celebrating probably don't understand what happened: The state now has the authority to decide what health care a minor can receive. The government will decide. Libertarians must be having conniptions. The ruling will not block the surgery, as a minor can still travel out of state to have the surgery.
  17. No one "attacked the dead". Acosta stated a fact: The deceased is buried on a golf course. There was no attack. If you want to see an attack, read the divorce proceeding transcript and the press coverage from the period when Trump was having his affair with Marla Maples. Trump had a child out of wedlock with her. The words exchanged at the time, were not nice.
  18. Three of Trump's Cabinet selections have faced allegations of sexual misconduct: Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy. Gaetz was forced to withdraw. Hegseth has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in 2017, an allegation he denied although the two entered into a “civil confidential settlement agreement.” Kennedy has not denied his past. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/24/trump-cabinet-alleged-sexual-abusers Pete Hegseth's drinking history is documented.
  19. You have a fixation on the use of the term white knight. Is this something you aspired to be, but failed at?
  20. where did I lie? Please tell me what is untruthful in what I wrote.
  21. The schoolyard called. They want their elementary school name calling back.
  22. I did not find it tasteless. It was truthful. Isn't the deceased not buried on the golf course? That is all he said. I don't know why he buried her there. Perhaps it was an agreement with the children, or a desire to keep a cemetery plot from being subject to vandalism. I don't know. However, the fact is she was put in a nondescript plot at the golf course and Mr. Acosta pointed that at.
  23. She is a rather fit 47 year old woman who keeps her shape and health by strenuous exercise as befitting a woman who is classified as a master rower. She was an athlete while at Cambridge and has continued. Her photo, while posed and probably under nice lights, does make her out to be rather pretty. She must have been quite stunning in her 20's. Yes, she has a university diploma in anthropology. However, her decades of field work and in leadership roles have prepared her for the job. You do know that she attended additional training and education during her time in service don't you? She proved herself in her Middle East positions. She has been at this for 20 years+ and continued to take on difficult assignments and leadership roles. Now do tell us why she is unqualified for the position? What should the qualifications be that she has missed out on. Experience, Leadership roles, Training, Focus?? She has all of that, but obviously there is something missing? Is her not having been a junkie with worm caused brain damage, or not having a history of domestic abuse, or not being a drunk like some of the Trump cabinet members, the cause for your concern?
  24. How is is it a DEI appointment? You obviously know nothing about her. She proved herself in the field as a master spook decades ago and her expertise is in middle east and China operations is much needed now. Do share with us how you know what her qualifications are, and how her experience and past leadership roles make her a DEI appointment. perhaps you are just jealous that she has been a success and served her country faithfully for 20+ years.
