I can see why his visit to the environmental catastrophe area and of course the lableak now being reluctantly admitted as most likely is benefitting Trump. It seems like he is being proved correct about contentious issues all the time these days. Funny that. I hate to say this, but trump's time has passed. It was incredibly damaging to democracy all the hoaxes against the guy even 2 silly impeachments but alas what's done is done. Most people can't take 4 more years of unbridled hatred and hoaxes from the media. So better let DeSantis have a go, and if he wins, just pray they will let him serve his term without all the dishonest attacks Trump faced.

Prices are coming down in Samui. Immediately after the law change most weed was 500B+ and hash 1,000B+. Nowadays there are loads of small general stores selling everything that also have some decent weed selections. One nearby tiny shop has about 30 strains and prices are 200-300B, cheaper if buying bulk. This is very reasonable, quality is very good. Proper dense buds nicely dried and cured. I'd advise to avoid any cannabis dispensary in tourist areas and maybe look for reggae flags or weed signs on small mom and pop stores.

Why would there be many many Ph.D. students looking into the origins, when it has been settled science for years? The virus came from a wet market. Anyone questioning the incredible coincidence of a bat virus research facility near the wet market were dubbed "racists"(1), and "conspiracy theorists" and censored and banned from the internet for spreading "disinformation". Can you agree the false smearing and censoring of those using logic and common sense to probe the unlikely coincidence was a mistake? So settled was the science that advertisers were punished for advertising (2)on channels that tried to be honest and discus the possibilities/probabilities of the lab leak. (1)"“Apoorva Mandavilli, a reporter “mainly” covering COVID-19 for the New York Times, believes the lab-leak origin theory for the virus to be by its very nature bigoted. Someday we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and maybe even admit its racist roots. But alas, that day is not today,” she wrote." https://www.nationalreview.com/news/new-york-times-covid-reporter-calls-discussion-of-lab-leak-theory-racist/ (2)"A government-affiliated group that attempted to blacklist conservative networks over "coronavirus conspiracies" is now coming under fire after a federal agency announced its analysis that the lab-leak theory could be true. The Global Disinformation Index reportedly sought to convince advertising companies to distance themselves from and punish conservative websites that suggested the coronavirus may have initially spread because it was leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/government-disinformation-group-fire-punishing-outlets-reported-lab-leak-theory I hope the free thinkers that spoke out loud about the Wuhan institute likely having had a lab leak or accidental release will be uncensored and allowed back online again. Just allowing one side of every debate online has not worked well, particularly in light of the mainstream being flat out wrong about the biggest issues and repeatedly censoring truth to allow democrat party benefitting lies and false narratives to flourish - such as the laptop and the lableak.

Apart from your use of profanity, your rant is completely false, off topic and offensive. I wonder what Kyle would make of this thread, seeing liberals defaming and smearing him and gleefully wishing bad stuff to happen to him? I suppose the blame for this disinformation and hysteria would be the likes of biden(1) falsely accusing him of stuff, and the msm running a false narrative(2) which caused the audible shock in court when it turned out Grosskreutz was pointing a gun at Kyle when he got shot, and as the censored conservatives tried to point out he was acting in SELF DEFENCE. (1)https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/kyle-rittenhouses-mother-says-biden-defamed-son-suggesting-white-supre-rcna5453 (2)https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/nov/26/jerrold-nadler/nadler-wrong-claim-rittenhouse-crossed-state-line-/

You call for violence against this poor persecuted kid. So appalling. He acted in self defence to stop the rioter shooting him. I suspect you are a victim of the fake news narratives surrounding this case that prohibited the facts being discussed. Facts that proved the act was self defence not some young MAGA racist that wanted to shoot minorities. "Prosecutor Thomas Binger asked Grosskreutz why he didn’t shoot first. “That’s not the kind of person that I am. That’s not why I was out there,” he said. “It’s not who I am. And definitely not somebody I would want to become.” But during cross-examination, Rittenhouse defense attorney Corey Chirafisi asked: “It wasn’t until you pointed your gun at him, advanced on him … that he fired, right?” “Correct,” Grosskreutz replied." https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/08/shooting-victim-kyle-rittenhouse-520336 remember that? the moment the whole narrative collapsed.

"Lab Leak Most Likely Origin of Covid-19 Pandemic, Energy Department Now Says U.S. agency’s revised assessment is based on new intelligence" https://www.wsj.com/articles/covid-origin-china-lab-leak-807b7b0a You knew it. I knew it. The notion that covid started by jumping from bat to pangolin to some soup in a wet market ACROSS THE ROAD from a bat coronavirus research facility was the silliest conspiracy theory ever. That it took years to comprehensively "debunk" is disgraceful. I think this was the last conspiracy theory of the right to turn into confirmed fact. There's no more left. Now let's hold those that censored the truth and forced us to accept silly lies accountable. All of them.

"continued associated with white supremacists" more conspiracies and false claims, you are on a roll today. "“I didn’t know that the OK sign was a symbol for white supremacy, just as I didn’t know that those people at that bar were Proud Boys. They were set up by my former attorney who was fired because of that, for putting me in situations like that with people I don’t agree with.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/kyle-rittenhouse-proud-boys-gesture-b1963573.html

Bizarre and ridiculous. There is literally no evidence Rittenhouse is a white supremacist. That is because he is NOT a white supremacist and never has been. I love it how when icons of the left like biden(1) flash an OK sign fact checkers wet themselves running to debunk it - yet when people the left hate do it, well of course it's different then isn't it. How I long for honest discussion. " the whole idea that the OK sign is a white-power signal — the fingers secretly representing a “W” for white and a “P” for power — is a hoax. The idea was pushed by internet trolls to fool credulous liberals into picking it up. Mission accomplished." https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/09/05/kavanaugh-white-power-zina-bash-219733/ (1)https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/oct/22/viral-image/no-biden-didnt-flash-white-power-sign-black-man-du/

Wife and I have been trying out the 4/5* breakfast buffets around the north of the island. Anybody have any recommendations? Did the new Hyatt last week. Very nice, but I don't like when they hide the bacon behind a window and make you ask the staff to serve you. For some reason it's embarrassing asking for 20 streaky rashers. Bang for the buck so far would be Renaissance in Lamai - got all the basics covered for around 600B - about half what the Hyatt was.

Must be racism by the refs? I wonder if any refs were themselves "dark skinned"?, that would throw a proper spanner into the narrative. The sensible solution here is to stop giving yellow or red cards to "dark skinned" players for a year and see how it goes.

An outrageous and highly defamatory smear and conspiracy theory(recently defined here as any factual claim made without credible evidence to support). KR is actively suing lowlives that defame and smear him(1). What I find incredible in the Rittenhouse case - other than it was not permitted on the interweb to factually accurately state that he did not transport a gun across state lines, nor challenge Biden's false claim made without a shred of evidence that KR was a white supremacist(2)- is the disgusting criminal background of the violent white protestors(3) that Kyle was forced to defend himself against. Lowest of the low.

Mike is a good lad. Really loves his country. Certainly he makes a good point about giving this footage to the snakes at Fox rather than to patriots like Bannon, or Newsmax/OANN. And he makes some superb pilows, we threw out all ours and went all-in with MyPillows. Soon as they felt them the neighbors were green with envy and they started ordering them too. Rare to find a top quality and affordable product made with pride in the USA.

I read the article. It is a rehash of Mueller's 2 irrational haters and corrupt FBI agents behaving in an inappropriate and politicized way. Other than the title this reads to me like an FBI bad thread not another orange man bad thread? Politicized and irrational hate-filled FBI agents targeting a political opponent is obviously not a good thing, and is something we are repeatedly told does not happen. It does.

I wonder how many fit and cognitively able people keep on falling when encountering a flight of stairs? "Watch your step, Joe! President Biden once again had issues keeping his balance Wednesday as he tripped up the steps of Air Force One on his way home from Poland. Biden, 80, fell forward about halfway up the stairs to the plane as he attempted to board at Warsaw Chopin Airport." https://nypost.com/2023/02/22/biden-stumbles-up-air-force-one-stairs-again-leaving-poland/

Good old Trump, nicely filling the leadership vacuum and showing what an America 1st President should be doing ie visiting areas of the homeland that had an emergency and needed support, rather than showboating on the other side of the world and further escalating the proxy war between Russia and Biden's USA. I note when there is a REAL environmental disaster - man made in this case - the usual climate alarmists are strangely quiet.

I wonder if the US concentrated more on improving it's own democracy(transparency, less fake news, more secure elections with forensic audits possible to check concerning events like water leaks causing counts to shut etc etc), and interfered less in the politics of sovereign nations halfway around the world, we would all be safer?

I thought the idea of the far left banning books containing offensive words like "woman" and "fat" was a conspiracy theory by the far right? Another conspiracy morphing into confirmed fact. Oh dear!

This is too bad, poor fish.

Well to be fair, how many times were we told that his health was absolutely fine and we should trust the MSM about that - rather than rely on our own eyes and ears. "Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s (D) primary care physician said in a new letter that his recovery from the stroke he suffered in May is progressing well and that he “has no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office.” Clifford Chen, a doctor at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), wrote in a medical report that a Friday exam showed the Democratic Senate nominee is keeping up “good fitness and health practices” during his recovery and that his vitals look strong." https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3695667-fetterman-doctor-candidate-in-good-health-has-no-work-restrictions/ It was clear to me he was having major problems and would not be able to do the job, ah the dangers of free and critical thinking. This is another in a long line of false narratives beneficial to the democrat party that magically changes after an election. Coincidental no doubt.

The use of emotionally loaded language is generally a sign that the person has no rational or logical argument to make and thus resorts to abusive language or otherwise nonsensical inflammatory comments. Here are some examples from this very thread. Of course there is no such thing as the "American fascist party" although the party that tried creating a ministry of truth headed up by a known laptop denier to continue punishing and censoring truth and forcing a self serving false narrative on Americans is close to fascism. And the last one is amusing. I often see prominent posters of the extreme left persuasion here mis-gendering Lyndsey Graham. Always the way isn't it. I can't remember ever having seen a conservative poster resort to abuse when their argument goes down the swanny. Lyndsey Graham - frequently mis-gendered by abusive posters. Michelle Obama - never mis-gendered. Food for thought... "The GOP is all about anti LGBT all the time. Just like Putin. Fascists think alike." "It's one of these fake issues the American fascist party promotes as important because they have no interest in addressing real problems." "Well, there goes Lindsey Graham's side hustle. I bet he does a great Blanche du Bois."

Worth remembering when biden started this abomination of a presidency his predecessor left him with an inflation rate of 1.4%. This is all the democrats doing, reaching a peak of absurdity when they passed a spending boondoggle they amusingly called the inflation reduction act which they knew would not reduce inflation(1). Let's get the adults back in charge asap. "The White House celebrated its first-year economic achievements by tweeting: “When @POTUS and @VP were sworn in, our economy was on the brink of collapse.” That is a flat-out lie. As Biden first set foot in the Oval Office a year ago, real GDP was growing at 6.3 percent, inflation was 1.4 percent" https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/590451-how-biden-torched-the-trump-recovery/ (1)supporting evidence for uncomfortable claim made "With inflation raging near its highest level in four decades, President Joe Biden on Tuesday signed into law his landmark Inflation Reduction Act. Its title raises a tantalizing question: Will the measure actually tame the price spikes that have inflicted hardships on American households? Economic analyses of the proposal suggest that the likely answer is no — not anytime soon, anyway. https://apnews.com/article/inflation-biden-health-congress-climate-and-environment-63df07e15002c01fb560a6f0e69fcb03

Literally no idea why team Biden are finding this a joke. The story has gone from you can't shoot balloons down over the country because it's dangerous and it's easier finding the thing you shot down in the ocean rather than land. Cuz' the adults are back in charge, listening to their advisors etc etc. To today's story that MULTIPLE objects are being shot down all over the place and these things are unidentified flying objects(1). Now if anyone has been doing some free thinking (i know, i know, it's dangerous and bad for democracy) they will have concern that shooting down possible nuclear powered objects or even unknown technology propulsion systems down over land inhabited by humans is questionable in terms of elf and safety - particularly compared to balloons which we all accept are dangerous to shoot down over land. Not to even think about the ramifications of starting an intergalactic war with far superior equipped creatures. IMO this administration is a clear and present danger to life on earth, and having chronic liar and disinformation master KJP laugh and deny it is as good as confirming all the worst fears. 1.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11742875/U-S-military-shoots-unidentified-object-Lake-Huron-three-days.html

correct, although I have often seen it denied. "Given those complexities, Mrs. Bradshaw said she resented the fact that the school had made her feel like a bad parent for wondering whether educators had put her teenager, a minor, on a path the school wasn’t qualified to oversee. “It felt like a parenting stab in the back from the school system,” she said. “It should have been a decision we made as a family.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/22/us/gender-identity-students-parents.html And the truly sad part of this is this/and other poor caring parents will be(as we can all see from posts above) falsely described as a bigot a fascist, a minority hater etc etc for the dreadful crime of caring about her minor child's welfare.

A very dangerous view.

I will paraphrase him due to the profanity, but Mr Water's comments recently that it is idiotic to claim that there was no reason or provocation for Russia's Ukraine military operation, were spot on. Of course there is a reason for everything, and that 2 opposing sides will both have their opinions on what caused the problem. There is no black/white, everything is in shades of grey. The left repeatedly claiming that " it is solely the fault of Putin" while waging a proxy war against Russia could easily lead to full on nuclear war and the end of life on earth. We need competent leadership immediately, and get on with NEGOTIATING for PEACE before it is too late.
