Northeast U.S. might want to join Canada because of Trump -- does Canada want them?
Canada has no retirement visa. For wealthy American retirees, Australia and New Zealand are options.

Israeli Attacked in Thailand by German Tourist, Report Says
Need more info on this. If the Israeli backpacker was alone, it's extremely unlikely he would be provoking four people of any kind. The Germans? Perhaps middle eastern immigrant type of Germans? How was the Israeli identified? Well if he was alone not from speaking unless on a phone. Hebrew or an Israeli accent is very easy to place. Appearance? Believe it or not, even without wearing flags and such, Israelis are often easy to identify that way as well in a different way than visible Jews in general. If the Germans were middle eastern origin, that much easier for them. Googling this. I am seeing some international press is making a thing that the Israeli was an IDF soldier. The majority of Israelis are obligated to serve in the IDF in one way or another.

Trump chooses New FBI director
Horrible dangerous choice. More evidence that Trump intends to rule as an autocratic demagogue.

Russian Tourists Swept Away by Waves at Koh Samui Viewpoint
I don't find that sign to be nearly adequate enough of a warning. Hopefully at the very least these tragedies will result in improved signage. These kinds of stories have special meaning to me as I was swept out to sea as a boy in Miami and resued by a man who wasn't even a lifeguard.

Trump Praises Agreement with Mexico’s New President to Curb Migration
Melania! Melania! Melania! It's pretty clear she won't be living in the white house with Donald. They must have a doozy of a "marriage" contract.

Biden lifts restrictions on Ukraine using US weapons to strike deep inside Russia.
Putin is still in power.

Biden lifts restrictions on Ukraine using US weapons to strike deep inside Russia.
It's not America's proxy war. It's Ukraine defending itself against war mongering Putin who wants to erase Ukraine as a sovereign nation.

Totally absurd.

No doubt. But we will soon have a lawless wannabe dictator King in office who doesn't need to follow the law or the constitution as he faces no consequences for that. So like it or not (I hate it) things have changed bigly. To those who say he can't just change the constitution, True! But he can just IGNORE it with no consequences.

Cocoa powder (for drinking)
Lazada has some natural non-Dutched options. I don't understand why people want Dutched. The health benefits are stripped from that process.

It would be good to have these enhancement options for the ignore list
Are you suggesting package fees for ignoring? First 10 free. Then based on volume? Reminds me of my first tourism visit to Thailand. On a boat in a floating market and was offered a snake around my neck for a fee. I asked can I pay you NOT to put the snake around my neck?

K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
Has this been covered before here -- I'd like to see SAMPLES of the actual forms.

I realize this is a software design issue so probably unrealistic to request. but here goes anyway. I'd like to see an Ignore List option where you can still see the ignored member's posts but are prevented from replying to them. I'd also like to see it made harder to ACCIDENTALLY turn off ignore when you're just doing a Show Post on an ignored user. Like a red alert warning -- Do you really want to un-ignore this member?

Arizona Man Arrested for Threatening to Kill Donald Trump and Family
Of course the rule of law needs to be respected and political violence eschewed. The trouble is that Trump and Maga embrace it.

Well the problem is you don't want gaps. California really should be it's own country. Texas too -- they've always wanted that. It would be funny if the old USA was land locked from the Pacific. Of course -- Alaska. I hear Russia wants it back. Let's make a deal!

Biden’s Farewell Thanksgiving Message: A Heartfelt Tribute to Gratitude and Perseverance
Very true. If he had gotten lucky, and autocratic felon Trump hadn't won, it wouldn't have been as bad but he set it up so that there was very little chance of stopping him. Also, not helping Ukraine early enough with enough will be seen as a huge mistake. Also his immigration policy. There are positives too, but overall not so good.

American Exceptionalism: Reality or Just a Myth?
I'm with Obama on this one. Every country thinks they're exceptional. America does have differences. It has pros and cons like every other nation. It's not the best place to live in the world, and it's also not the worst. Countries and civilizations tell stories about themselves. The stories don't need to reflect truth but stories are important in human culture.

Better off moving to Mexico. I am not predicting thar the US map will change but it is idiotic to suggest it isn't at least possible. That both pro and anti autocrat Teump factions are openly talking about it certainly isn't the sign of a stable country.

Agreed Trump is pathetic.
