Jomtien named 4th leading retire cheap destination in the world
... by long established popular youtuber Vagabond Awake. This guy and his Malaysian model partner have been slow traveling most everywhere for many years now. So they do have an informed opinion. I do like that they (and others now) are making the important distinction between Pattaya and Jomtien. I've never seen Naklua or the Dark Side mentioned on any similar global list. That said, even though they target the retire abroad on a budget crowd, they have not actually done that. They're slow travelers. So they don't put much value in long term visas for retirement. Which explains why destinations in Vietnam are so high on their list. In my view, because of the no visa situation there, Vietnam should not be on any retire abroad list. But it's still good to see the appreciation of Jomtien.

Accountant arrested after 'opening fire on MAGA supporter'
We will now need to arrest all mild mannered accountants without red hats preemptively. Also of course piano teachers and mattress salesmen. Can't be too careful!

Thai & Israeli Officials Address Chabad Centres & Tourist Issues
I'm not surprised that it would be true and of course that is unacceptable. They're not embassies. On the other hand it's obvious that Chabad does and needs to have very tight security as to who enters to prevent terrorism. Without knowing the details, how would they know if a terrorist wasn't faking being a Thai official? That problem is getting sorted out and that's a good thing. I remember years ago researching the Jewish community in Medellin and was both saddened and not surprised to learn that there was a quite an involved screening process to be invited even to just visit their synagogue. I think they even were trying to keep the location discrete, like a gay bar in Tehran. The reason -- to prevent terrorism. This is an issue all over the world in Jewish spaces.

Thai & Israeli Officials Address Chabad Centres & Tourist Issues
Nope. Not the only one. Chabad is Chabad. They act as Jewish community centers, not formal temples. Who exactly are you to suggest what Chabad should do? Talk about arrogance. I'm not a fan of Chabad but it wouldn't occur to me to tell them how to organize their affairs.

Thai & Israeli Officials Address Chabad Centres & Tourist Issues
Why not just start a website to collect and present all the anti-Israeli stuff that magically gets served to you? I watched this. The narrator was kind of goofy. Not about a nationality but is about a nationality. Not about a religion yet mouthing ignorant Jew hating tropes. Obviously there is no excuse for the bad behavior shown. But there is also no excuse for people posting stuff like Hitler was right, as in the comments.

She can but honestly I think she's smart enough to eventually realize that she shouldn't.

Why didn't Biden sanction the 2 Russian Oil companies?
Two main reason that informed people would know already -- Biden was intimidated by Putin's nuclear threats Biden didn't want to take action that would raise oil prices, which would hurt both American consumers and his chances for reelection Do you have any questions that are actually hard to answer?

New poll: 56% of Americans think Trump is a dangerous dictator
A big factor is whether or not he is successful in preventing real elections. His regime is working very hard on that. If they succeed, it's over.

Venezuela: 'No doubt' Trump wants to overthrow government
Of course he is. I'm conflicted about this. I would love to see Maduro fall as well as Trump.

If a future democratic president can't actually tear down the ballroom monstrosity perhaps as an alternative they can refit it to be a basketball arena named after Obama.

Report explores Israelis in Thailand
As far as security measures at Chabad houses. Chabad is a specific organization. It is not about all Jews. It is not part of the Israeli government. But the fact is that Jewish spaces all over the world are forced to be very careful about security. Why? Because of constant threats and actual actions of anti-Jewish terrorism. i'll never forget during my visit to Buenos Aires walking by an empty space where a large Jewish center used to exist before it was bombed out by Iranian operatives. You can't blame Chabad or any Jewish organization to try to prevent being murdered.

My impression is that the majority of the maga people WANT Trump to behave as a dictator but what they object to is calling him dangerous.

Exactly. Real conservatives get that. The maga movement is not conservative.

I Love you, Donald.
That's often how dictators first come into power. Being elected is irrelevant.

Nope. They have a historical perspective most lack especially maga cultists.
