Surfshark VPN -- cheap and good
I had been with Proton for some years but was unable to get a payment through for renewal. Proton is very good but it's quite expensive. So I had to find an alternative (mostly for torrenting, sometimes for geo-spoofing). Did some basic research and Surfshark even with it's silly name tended to be highly rated. On top of that it's an incredible deal. So I went with the two year basic plan plus three months free for under 60 dollars total. It is less of a nerdy experience than Proton as expected but it's working quite well. How much does Surfshark cost? Check the pricing - Surfshark

No, it tells you about the power of maga propaganda.

Charlie Kirk Tragically Killed in Utah Event Shooting
All this attention on Kirk and yes it will explode, be contagious, and go on for years. There was almost none on the recent murders of Minnesota democratic elected officials and the terrorist attack on the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania. HYPOCRITES.

Charlie Kirk Tragically Killed in Utah Event Shooting
Sorry. I don't agree. Much of his rhetoric was indeed HATE SPEECH against pretty much all minority groups. Was he more reasonable than clowns like Tucker Carlson? I'll give you that. I will also go so far as to call him a moron. Why? Assuming he was actually a real Christian as he espoused, most of his work was in the service of helping Donald Trump come to and get more power, who is definitely NOT a Christian and definitely does NOT promote Christian values.

Maybe. Anyway in their debate I assume they were referring to the "Maryland man" who was illegally deported to El Salvador as there was a standing court order not to deport him to El Salvador. Kirk was correct he is not a U.S. citizen but was legally living there. It was never proven he was a member of MS13. He definitely hadn't been even accused of murder. Kirk was 100 percent wrong that due process only applies to citizens. Enough time has passed now to call out Kirk as the white nationalist maga authoritarian extremist that he was. It was good that engaged with people. Sure. But his views were extremely toxic and hate filled against anyone not fitting his very narrow ignorant mold of what a good American is -- white, Christian, straight, male, if female non-feminist.

Looking into history, it's easy to find how high profile violent events such as the assassination of Kirk have been used by authoritarian regimes to accelerate extremist agendas. Watch out for that happening again.

Charlie Kirk Tragically Killed in Utah Event Shooting
I'm very sorry that he or anyone was murdered, but that clip above is an example of how utterly disgusting and divisive his political views were. Of course the kind of hateful filth he espoused lives on, and is likely amplified as he's being transformed now into some kind of martyr. The politics of the U.S. which is now fully into the white nationalist autocracy zone gets more and more problematical.

Trump Reacts to Russian Drone Incursion Into Poland
Putin is testing how far he can go with Trump, his loving poodle. Trump will FAIL the test, as is usual in his pattern of Taco Two Weeks.

I'm going to apologize for talking about political disagreements so soon after the assassination. That was wrong to talk about that so early. What needs to be talked about by everyone is that everyone of all political stripes need to strongly condemn POLITICAL VIOLENCE. Like many, I do think that such events have a high likelihood of being contagious. No decent person wants that.

U.S. Passport renewal “Thailand Visa Expiration Date”
The question (read it again) was specifically about the CHECKLIST PAGE. That checklist page is a customized form for the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok for passport renewals by post within Thailand. Again, the CHECKLIST PAGE is not part of the official application form for the State Department.

Obviously not a fan of the late Mr. Kirk and it's disturbing to learn that both his wife and children were at the fateful Utah event. But I did watch some clips of him (difficult to avoid) and I was impressed that he engaged with opponents in a very civil, respectful way. That is a very unusual for a maga associated leader,

Charlie Kirk Tragically Killed in Utah Event Shooting
The maga movement is rapidly turning the USA into a banana republic type of authoritarian dystopia. Not saving. Destroying. That said, I share your sentiment of hope that he recovers. Shooting and killing is not the answer. You say they. Who's they? Reportedly there is one suspect and he is in custody. Apparently, he was shot in the neck and there was a lot of blood and he's in critical condition. That sounds very serious indeed.

Donald Trump: mobs yell 'Hitler of our time'
Yeah, history doesn't repeat. But it does rhyme. There are indeed numerous valid parallels between Trump and Hitler and also many things that aren't. I think he is indeed the most Hitlerian president in American history though without any doubt.
