Trump Criticizes US Olympic Skier Hunter Hess as 'Real Loser'
Yes, I agree with Hunter Hess. It’s very uncomfortable being identified as a US citizen while Trump’s in the White House. :(

Yes, you're correct. I meant the First Amendment. Thanks for pointing that out.

Nurse Axed After Shocking Video "paralyse them" to ICE Agents
Although I agree with this nurse’s desire to stop the chaos ICE is causing in various communities around the USA, any suggestion of violence is not speech that is protected by the 2nd Ammendment. Keep the use of violence on ICE, not the general community.

Community says it’s being erased as Israeli settler violence intensifies.
Just another example in a series of Israel's 79-year-long attempts to control all of Palestine by expelling Palestinians. 😥

Poll: Do you think that the USA is in its GOLDEN AGE?
Trump is the only reason I’ve had second thoughts about my opposition to the 2nd Ammendment. 🤨

Supreme Court: "Simple Rape" Term Minimizes Crime's Seriousness
It's "petite" crime, not "petty" crime, but it's pronounced like and has the same meaning as "petty." This has confused me, too.

Thai Resident Urges Action on Foreign Graffiti in Phuket
Foreigners in Thailand should at least be subject to the same laws as Thais.

Providing a "bank certificate/letter"
Thanks for your post! I didn't know we could download and printout our own account records. That makes sense, though, since that's what they do when I get these copies from the bank. The bank, however, signs each one, attesting to its accuracy. I don't know if they’d do that with an account record that you would bring in. I'll try that the next time I renew my one-year extension, but that won't be until next December.

Indiana Senate Stuns Trump with Rejection of GOP Map
I grew up in Indiana, and I know it is full of very conservative people (of which I am not one), so I am very surprised but welcome this action.

Minimum monthly transfer for OA retirement-based visa/extension
Yes, I suggest you transfer at least a little more than THB 65k if, like me, you transfer from an account with a different type of money. The exchange rates fluctuate, so it's best to set up your account to send a little bit more, like the equivalent of THB 70k.

30-Million-Baht Lamborghini Wrecked in Late-Night Crash
If I had a 30 million baht car, I wouldn't drive it late at night! I wouldn't drive it at all! I'd sell it. 😜

Need major dental work. Looking for a good dentist
To recommend a dentist, I would need to know where you live. I live near the town of Phetchabun. I go to a dentist named "Bo." She speaks good English and works at both a private clinic and Phetharat Hospital. She speaks very good English. About two years ago, she made both an upper and lower partial dentures, and I"ve worn them ever since with absolutely no problems.

Pretty serious crisis with my girlfriend.
If your bank account is in your name only, I don't think you'll have any problems with it. If you're really worried about that, you could withdraw all the money, or transfer it to an account in your home country. This woman could report you to the police and accuse you of battery or rape, or something like that. That could cause you a problem, but with no proof, she’d likely have a weak case. And once filed, there’s usually an offer to withdraw the charges in exchange for a payment of some kind. Or, if you live in Pattaya, you could always fall off the balcony of your fifth-floor apartment! 😉 Good luck!

After decades of PCs - I give up, I'm buying a Mac!
Good one but it is so true! Once you go Windows, you stop the Mac woes... 😉

After decades of PCs - I give up, I'm buying a Mac!
You won't know what you're missing until you try. You'll never go back! As I said, I never owned an Apple/Mac. When they first came out, they were, IMO, focused on the general public and not professional computer users like me. I don't use my computer for actual computing as much as I used to, so I might be able to use an Apple/Mac now, but I'll never try one. I still look upon them as just playthings and not real computers. And, they cost a lot more than MS Windows PCs and Android phones.

I've been working on and using a computer for my own purposes for over 40 years. I’ve always used Windows and have never owned an Apple/Mac, and I never intend to.

Has anyone here noticed more farang in Thailand?
Yes! I've lived here for over 20 years now. Before, when I went into town (Phetchabun), people would point and stare at me because I was a foreigner. Now, I go into Big C or Lotus's, and see dozens of Farangs. When I saw one in the past, I'd stop, introduce myself, and talk with them. Now, we don't even exchange glances.

A look at the Pattaya Firework festival, were you there ?
No, I will never go to Pattaya. I’m afraid of falling off a fifth-story balcony in some rented room there,

Trump Plans Land Action in Venezuela Against Drug Networks
I assumed Trump would do this, but I expected him to wait until mid-year 2026, so he could declare the USA was "at war," and the elections would be postponed. 😞 Although the Constution doesn't allow this, Trump does a lot of things that are against the Constituion.
