Dem leader H.Jeffries' call to fight Trump agenda ‘in the streets’ .
I would like to see the minority leader in the senate replaced. Chuck Schumer is way too weak tea for these tragic times where we have a wannabe fascist dictator as president trying very hard to control everything in the government based on his insane ego alone, with checks and balances destroyed. He mouths some right things but his tone has the passion of wet noodle. There isn't much minority leaders can do at this point but of the little they can do, Jeffries is stepping up and Schumer is past his use by date. As far as fight in the streets, I don't see that as a call to violence. I see that as a call to protest. If he starts saying blood in the streets, send me a memo. Look what's happening in the country of Georgia. The street protests there against the Russian puppet that Putin pushed into power is the only hope to temper that evil.

Could Trump to Put 100 percent tariffs on Thailand?
You give him too much credit for having a coherent ideology. He has no such thing. He's the greatest con man the world has ever known. He thrives on creating chaos and then claiming credit for fake fixing crises he has created. What he's doing is about the one thing he does care about. All attention on him. All power to him. He cares nothing about any people except for himself. He's a dangerous monster and it's still shocking how many people fail to see that.

Can anyone tell me a better culinary combo than this?
I don't find the OP's combo particularly wonderful but taste is subjective and I know what he means about the bliss of a magical combo. Had a Sichuan Chinese meal the other day that was memorable that way. Cold poached chicken in a chile sesame sauce Mala (hot and tingly) hot pot with sea bass filet Grilled cumin incrusted lamb skewer Rice of course

Trump Administration Begins Deportation Flights in Message of Zero Tolerance
Don't be so dumb. Americans won't take farm labor jobs so the crops. etc. will just rot and the farmers will go under.

I think it's a real possibility. If it happens I hope Thailand doesn't retaliate against American expats.

Trump Orders Crackdown on Antisemitism, Targeting Visa Holders and Protesters
Well I'm in favor of deporting criminal non citizens but it should really be based on the individual cases. In other words the specifics of their immigration status and the severity of the crimes. For example peaceful prorests are allowed in the US even by non citizens. Violent protests are crimes. About the video of disrupting a class if they're students there the School should discipline or expel or if not have the police trespass them. It sounds like Trump's EO is another one of his overreaches. Also of course criticizing Israeli government policies should not be conflated with Jew hatred though of course in many cases it is used as a cover for that.

Israeli Man Arrested in Pattaya for Using Counterfeit US Dollars
Based on the picture the accused Israeli is decidedly white in color so ipso facto a farang in Thailand. Yes many Israelis are darker in color ot even Ethiopian. But not this guy. Next ...

Tucker Carlson Alleges Biden Administration Plotted to ‘Kill Putin’
Tucker is a no credibility fruitcake media whore clown darling of Z fascist Russians. On the other hand I wouldn't blame Ukraine for targeting Putin considering Putin has targetted Zelensky.

Israeli Man Arrested in Pattaya for Using Counterfeit US Dollars
Maybe another reason in this case was lack of respect for the competence of the money screening system here compared to a country like Norway. In other words, the perception true or not of less risk of being caught here.

Israeli Man Arrested in Pattaya for Using Counterfeit US Dollars
If it turns out that he is guilty (it's not looking good for him) I wonder why so many foreigners choose Thailand to commit such serious crimes instead of countries with more humane prison systems? Don't they know how horrific it is to be imprisoned in Thailand?

Gender recognition bill considered for identity self-determination
Yes, there is a dark wave of ignorant anti LGBT bigotry on the rise. Thankfully, Thailand is not riding that wave.

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2025)
The reviews were middling and that's probably about right but I still found My Policeman worth watching to see Harry Styles act and also the story about how the historical oppression of gay people in the UK ruined the lives of BOTH gay and straight people.

- Major loophole in Mexican residency that you may want to initiate if visiting North America
If you know anything about Mexican residency, you would know that the financial requirements have gotten very high and they go up quite a lot every year. Options include by income OR money in the bank including retirement accounts. Most retired expat types would have enough in retirement accounts to qualify for temporary residence (which leads to permanent residence four or five years later without ever needing to show money again). But suppose you can't qualify or you're worried that the requirements will be too high if you ever do want to do this in future years. Well, believe it or not, there exists an amazing LOOPHOLE that gets around the financial requirements, basically getting you into the temp residence path towards perm or even citizenship. It's referred to as REGULARIZATION or officially RNE (Registro Nacional de Extranjeros). It sounds too good to be true but it has been true for many people moving to Mexico for years already. It's a program renewed or not renewed annually so no guarantee it will still exist when you want to use it and/or the rules could change as shown in the link. So what do you need to do? Visit Mexico as a TOURIST at least once and then you might be eligible for this loophole many years later. So what's the point? Well if Mexico is on your list as a possible backup to Thailand, and you're visiting the U.S. or Canada anyway, a little trip down south could set you up for this option later. Even if you could qualify financially, in some ways this is better, because for standard method, you must make application at a Mexican consulate abroad. With the RNE, you do the application in Mexico. Once you have your temp residency status you're in the exact same boat as those who qualified using the standard method. It's not a lesser than temp residence because of the way you started.

You say they're wrong. Both readings can't be right. Hopefully, sooner or later, this rather major issue for Americans will be clarified. Or maybe it won't be.- Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
No you can't The full amount of the withdrawal is the relevant number for Thailand in both cases. They are both retirement accounts. Not bank accounts. Not regular investments, One was taxed by the IRS going in, the other going out. - Major loophole in Mexican residency that you may want to initiate if visiting North America
