All the above may be true but it's no secret: According to the analysis of a plastic surgeon, Jisoo is the member with completely natural beauty in BLACKPINK, while Lisa is the member who had the most work done on her face. https://www.kbizoom.com/a-plastic-surgeons-controversial-analysis-on-blackpinks-beauty-only-one-member-is-natural-lisa-had-the-most-surgery/

I grew up with a Mother for whom there were 2 kinds of music: Frank Sinatra and not-Frank Sinatra. So I learned long ago not to question anyone's musical taste. What bothers me about Ms. Lisa is that she has undergone -- as have the other 3 -- copious amounts of cosmetic surgery and I don't think that sets a good example for your average young Thai female

This is a 2024 election map as of 6 FEB from 270towin.com. 6 swing / grey states will likely determine the outcome. So neither candidate has a lock.

From the end of the Politico source article above: I tested all these theories on a handful of smart figures in both parties. Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), who has no lack of mainstream Republican friends, suggested I was missing one: projection. “Are you sure they’re not just frustrated they can’t change their candidate?” he asked.

Donald Trump's Fraud Case in New York Is Far From Over | Opinion Updated Feb 12, 2024 at 9:39 AM EST By Thomas G. Moukawsher Retired Judge and Author The New York Supreme Court decision in former President Donald Trump's fraud trial will show that American justice is real—and real slow. Yes, Justice Arthur Engoron's decision will show that no one is above the law. But the case is about to show us something else too—how needless delays will mean that Trump will face no consequences until long after the election. Trump is a master at manipulating the legal system and will doubtless seek to jam its gears in the hope that his election will somehow save him. Of course, Trump has a right to file an appeal of the Justice's ruling. Review on appeal is fundamental to a fair handling of his case. But it can easily take many years. Here's how. Nominally, Trump has 30 days from the entry of the judgment against him to appeal the ruling. But Trump also has 30 days to ask Engoron to reconsider his ruling. In some courts, you can file multiple motions like these in a series. They stop the clock ticking on the deadline to appeal. A skillful lawyer can drag this pre-appeal process out for months and sometimes years. They start by filing a motion and then seeking extended time to file their briefs. They encourage lawyers for the other side to seek extra time. They seek permission to file additional briefs. They drag their feet about arguing the motions. They insist they should call witnesses even when the trial is over. They might reopen attacks on the judge, the witnesses, or the government, claiming new information and the like. A judge must be mighty fleet of foot to stamp out all these little fires lit under his ruling. Finally, after months or years, the appeal gets filed. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-fraud-case-new-york-far-over-opinion-1868713

Saying DA's disqualification is 'possible,' judge in Trump election case moves forward with misconduct hearing The judge seemed inclined to permit testimony from at least some witnesses. February 13, 2024, 3:37 AM (Bangkok time) The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's Georgia election interference case says that it's possible misconduct allegations leveled against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis "could result in disqualification," and that a hearing on the matter will proceed as scheduled on Thursday. "I think it's clear that disqualification can occur if evidence is produced demonstrating an actual conflict or the appearance of one," Judge McAfee said in Monday's hearing. "The state has admitted a relationship existed. And so what remains to be proven is the existence and extent of any financial benefit, again if there even was one. And so because I think its possible that the facts alleged by the defendant could result in disqualification, I think an evidentiary hearing must occur to establish the record on those core allegations." https://abcnews.go.com/US/fulton-county-hearing-fani-willis-nathan-wade-testify/story?id=107151886

Carroll side has requested the delay to respond to the Trump brief posted already. Just to note from last year's verdict: E. Jean Carroll lawyer says Trump has ‘absolutely zero’ grounds for appeal 05/10/23 1:27 PM ET E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan said Wednesday that former President Trump has “absolutely zero” grounds for an appeal after a jury found that he defamed Carroll and is liable for sexual abuse of her. “Judge Kaplan is one of the most-respected, fairest judges,” she told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “Good Morning America.” “He gave them more process than even anyone else ever gets. He gave Donald Trump multiple chances to come to that courtroom and testify. He refused to do so. He has no appeal.” https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/3997968-e-jean-carroll-lawyer-says-trump-has-absolutely-zero-grounds-for-appeal/

From the DOJ SC Hur report: We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him-by then a former president well into his eighties-of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness. We conclude the evidence is not sufficient to convict, and we decline to recommend prosecution of Mr. Biden for his retention of the classified Afghanistan documents. https://www.justice.gov/storage/report-from-special-counsel-robert-k-hur-february-2024.pdf **** The word 'incompetent' does not appear in the report's 388 pages.

If the Supreme Court were to disqualify Trump, with a 6-3 conservative majority, that 'Witch Hunt' line might not go over so well as in the past.

As I used to say living in rural Florida long before living in Isaan: If you didn't bring it, it ain't there.

That's easy: Never did it before. First time at age 70. In fact the guy at the US Embassy when getting the marriage affidavit, to which I checked 'Never' married, said: Are you SURE you want to swear to that ??

How do you check?

The flight plan graphic has Los Angeles as destination. I read where the landing slots at Las Vegas are booked solid -- maybe even for her.

Hear, hear 🙂 From The Misfits (1961) Clark Gable and Marylin Monroe Roslyn : Once I walked to the edge of town (Reno); doesn't look like there's much out there. Gay : Everything's there! Roslyn : Like what? Gay : The country! Roslyn : Well, what do you do with yourself? Gay : Just live. Roslyn : How does anyone "just live"? Gay : Well, you start by going to sleep. You get up when you feel like it. You scratch yourself. You fry yourself some eggs. You see what kind of a day it is; throw stones at a can, whistle. :

Howard Hughes was worth an estimated $2.5 billion at the time of his death. Adjusted for inflation, his net worth would be approximately $11 billion today. https://zacjohnson.com/howard-hughes-at-death-net-worth So compared to Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Bill Gates, Hughes was a piker. But I would consider those 3 above to be famous; not 'performing' celebrities

Right never heard of him other than the spruce goose and having the first hydraulic retractable landing gear. But I wouldn't necessarily call him a 'celebrity' a la Frank Sinatra or Oprah Winfrey. And you can always say: Well what about Eddie Rickenbacker?

And just to note that first real flying celebrity was the late Mr. Arnold Palmer, who bought (and often flew as pilot) an Aero Commander 500 propeller job in 1961 and his first jet a Rockwell Jet Commander in 1966. https://www.arnoldpalmer.com/aviation

Fulton County DA Fani Willis 'not forthright' about relationship, according to new filing published February 9, 2024 9:17PMFulton County FOX 5 Atlanta In a newly filed 122-page supplemental reply to Willis's 176-page court-ordered response to Roman's original motion, Roman claims that the romantic relationship between Willis and Wade began earlier than what was disclosed. The court document contends, "Since Willis and Wade were not forthright about their relationship in the first instance, there is no reason to believe they are telling the truth now." Wade claimed in an affidavit included in Willis' response that their relationship did not begin until 2022, but Roman's attorney, Ashleigh Merchant, alleges witnesses can prove it started before Wade's appointment in November 2021 and before Willis was sworn in as district attorney in January 2021. One witness, Wade's former law partner Terrence Bradley, is cited as having non-privileged knowledge of the relationship, stating it began before Willis took office. Bradley's insights challenge Wade's claim that they didn't start dating until 2022. ... In related developments, Sen. Bill Cowsert announced during the first meeting of the state's Senate Special Committee on Investigations that whistleblowers in the Fulton County District Attorney's Office are eager to testify. https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/fulton-county-da-fani-willis-not-forthright-about-relationship-according-to-new-filing
