  1. I was surprised that none of the USA cities made it into the most unsafe cities in the world. I am sure the Trump Party will be upset by the Forbes findings.
  2. Hmm, Stepdaughter, entering Freshman at Margo University would greatly appreciate the subsidy. As would I!
  3. I did get one from the American Automobile Association in the USA before my 1st trip in 2009. Never asked for it as my state Driver's License showing validity dates and photo was accepted. Upon retiring in Chiang Mai in 2011, after getting settled in, I applied for my Thai Driver's Licenses (car and motorbike) as I planned to stay.
  4. I am certainly not up on Ai pros and cons however. I am thinking there has been some positive application in the field of medical diagnosis and some operations performed remotely.
  5. I am thinking that many would be surprised if the bothered to look up the total USA list of assassination attempts.
  6. I'm thinking, tagging her as having smoked pot may gain votes among many. Especially younger voters who have supported decriminalizing pot in many states.
  7. Longest 6 weeks of my life. 1986, University of Shanghai. No English was to be spoken to us after the orientation. Talk about motivation ... bathroom? Ask in Mandarin or tie it in a knot ... When I returned to the US, ethnic Chinese-American friends said I spoke with a Shiang hai accent! Wow! Now ... it is gone (you don't use it, you lose it). Reduced to greeting, asking how you are and goodbye.
  8. I believe it certainly is true that the world over, in any country where females lack financial security ... well, fair or not we financially sound males hold the cards. OK, I have a little guilt (but honestly, not much as I did not design the system).
  9. Ha! Yes, and Bernie drew huge crowds also. As the Zen master said, "we'll see" (tip of the hat to the movie, "Charlie Wilson's War").
  10. Agree that his "mug shot" was a huge winner ... but limited to his base. I confess my hope in the majority of American citizen voters rejecting Trump and his ilk in November.
  11. I don't mind being attributed to a response but the way this worked my name was citadas having stated something not mine. None of us should have this happen, misleading at best and libel at worse.
  12. Already posted here by either a foreign source not knowing US citizenship law or, quite possibly an ignorant Trump Party supporter. Just for those curious but not knowledgeable about this topic ... Anyone born in USA territory is a citizen at birth. And now you can understand the motivation of those pregnant foreign Mothers wanting to have their babies born on US soil.
  13. Oh, the sweet irony … “Now that Donald Trump could be facing Harris as his opponent, increased scrutiny on the matchup has revealed a curious detail in Trump's past: He was once a supporter of Harris' past election campaigns. Trump donated $6,000 to help Harris make history and win two elections for Attorney General of California. In particular, a photo of one of Trump's checks to Harris' campaign in the amount of $5,000 has been making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter). "Was a wise investment," Democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz dryly remarked while reposting a pic of the cancelled check.” Donald wasn't the only Trump family member to support Harris. His daughter, Ivanka Trump, also wrote a $2,000 check around the same time. In addition, Ivanka was involved in her dad's donation of that much-circulated $5,000 check. According to the Washington Post, Donald later divulged that the request for check to Harris came to him through Ivanka.” Read More: https://www.thelist.com/.../donald-ivanka-trump-history.../
  14. Oldest candidate for US President in history. Convicted felon running as Republican for US President.
  15. Check again. I never have posted this. Not me.
  16. Thanks, good to know the the PRC claim to having sovereignty over most of the South China Sea is not the cause of conflict with Philippines ... Vietnam ... Malaysia ... Brunai ... Taiwan ... Indonesia.
  17. Can anyone PM me with a citation of the Digital Wallet proposal in Thai language. Thai Wife and Daughter say they have heard nothing about this.
  18. Originalists are well aware the electoral College was meant as a "check" on the electorate. The Republican Party Presidential Nomineee has not won the popular vote in 20 years - source, PBS Newshour July 19, 2024.
  19. Then I am equally guilty of being able to reminisce while not being able to recall many specifics ... as is generally true of all except those, I suppose with "photographic memory".
  20. Just a footnote from history ... it has been 20 years since a Republican Presidential nominee has won the popular vote in the USA. PBS Newshour cited poll says 81% of registered US citizens say they plan to vote in November. Hope so, one that would be a terrific turnout and will be a definite voice whether the USA will turn to authoritarianism in frustration/anger within the working middle class. I maintain a small hope for this turnout because the majority of US voters lean toward the policies of the Democrat Party ... anti "Project 2025" stated policy proposals.
  21. The real threat? Elites of both parties who have brought us to where we are today. The most immediate threat ... Trump and his ilk.
  22. Another national legal expert suggested re indicting the case directly under DOJ to avoid the Cannon action which is widely recognized as being inconsistent with previous case precedent.
  23. I have heard it said that god has a sense of humor thus he gave females the idea of love and males the lust to watch in laughter. Yep, I'll stop looking when they close the coffin lid but currently ... Well, the image of a pup chasing a car. Just what do I think I would do if I caught up with the car? If you get my drift.
  24. Yes, Jack And yet as you state to kill off the O-A Visa, I would be required to exit Thailand. That plus reading from a legal site leaves the question hanging ... in my thinking. Does not really matter. It is what it is ... more of an academic question addressing a bit of an unclarity in dealing with Thai Immigration. Other issues much more important.
