All those who smiled back at me......

I see now why some people are against trump, they are just as thick as all those lefties....

I understand that calling someone 'racist' used to be a way to silence someone. But now the tides have changed, as people realized that races do exist, and that it indicates the type of culture a person was subjected to in his upbringing...

If they stayed home and fought for their country, they would not be "refugees". The common sense of Trump understands that....

Just that many people use the same type of argumentation to try to negate the damage that tobacco does to people...

Thanks, great videos... I have been following the rules of Anthony Robbins for years... Simple terms, easy to understand, no drugs, sometimes referred to as 'medication'... ''Make some 50% of your food fresh fruit and vegetables. Meaning not even cooked..." Permanently... In sync with this doctor's view, as explained at 4 min in his video. "Permanent change in a lifestyle, the way you eat". But then how to distinguish healthy food from the poison on our tables. Healthy eating: Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, while reducing processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats. Taking medication to control diabetes while eating poison food is a good way to fail. 1.- Processed food, eliminate 2.- Sugary drinks, eliminate, as they are laced with 'refined sugar', the poisonous one. Sugar from fruit, not a problem. It is natural. Eliminate all sources of refined sugar. 3.- Avoid unhealthy fats, must start with using only good oils, not from seeds, like canola for example. Olive oil, coconut oil are the main good oils.. Nearly all the food cooked in Thailand contains unhealthy components. The main flavoring of food in Thailand is the addition of refined sugar, as no one knows how to properly cook food here. And one important source of this refined sugar is inside the bottle of sauces, that are all ubiquitous on cooking tables of restaurants, bought in food stores. So start by eating food that you cook yourself. With no processed meats, no refined sugars, no bottles of sauces, and no unhealthy oils. As one of my good friend from back home said one time, "I thought I was eating healthy". When we found out that all (a challenge to find food with no added refined sugars) the food here contained refined sugars, that we thought we were avoiding... Eating poisons and taking meds after, is not the way... Good luck...

I would think that what is to get immigration rules based on clear objectives, instead of silly requirements designed to produce more and more papers in the immigration process. And to get someone in every IO to be responsible to make decisions, based on whether the individual showing up at an immigration point would contribute to the main objectives. Now the system is designed for clerks who look blindly at paper works, no objective in mind. So eliminate the refusal of individual at an immigration point, who has documentation of 15 years of an income way above the requirements, but in one instance, one piece of paper is missing... Clerks at work. Literally blindfolded, and feeling all powerful to make a decision, based on papers, not on objectives. An officer at a bank in my country, quick look at a banking history and credit history, can make a quick decision. An officer that person is. Clerks have a purpose, but they do not wear a uniform that would indicate a decisional power.

Oh well, The damage to the US created by the failed Left wing ideology is so deep rooted in all facets of the economy, that fixing it is a larger task than anticipated. Just never vote again for any Democrat style of governing, and hope for improvements. No other solution available. Out of these millions of US citizens, Trump was the one chosen. Lucky to have anyone wanting such a job, certainly not to be found here, the forum of complaints and vitriol.

Way to go Mr. President. The people voted for you, to enact right wing policies, to replace the failed left wing ones.. And the left wing will still try to stop the better policies to be implemented. Now is the time for families to take care of their own, instead of relying on government programs. Nos is the time to reduce the size of the government, against the failing strength of democrats under left wing policies. I was there, reduction of the bureaucracy always failed, because bureaucracy protects itself. The bigger it remains, the bigger the salaries at the top. The people voted for a right wing government. The left should step aside, and let the people see the results that they voted for....

OPINIONOPINION, Opinion|Donald Trump The first honest American president Trump’s shameless corruption is not a deviation from American history but its fulfilment. Every era of American government has had its scandal. Trump’s innovation is to make scandal itself a governing philosophy. Although it is tempting to see the Trump regime’s corruption – its open profiteering, its use of the state as an instrument of vengeance and self-enrichment – as a perversion of American democracy, the truth is more unsettling: it’s a mirror. The difference between Trump’s era and those before it is not the presence of corruption, but its visibility and the nation’s collective incapacity to feel scandalised by it. And..... Trump is flaunting his corruption. Is it changing what the US ... The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com › us-news › sep › trump-f... Sep 27, 2568 BE — “People say, well, if it were really corrupt, it would be hidden. It's a false assumption, but many people have it. It's a new theory of scandal .. Finally, the US got an honest President... and effective...

If one replaces one word in this, it would still be true... "Your country is becoming more Arab-(African)" is just another way of saying your government is becoming much more corrupt. And then Obama came along. Might not have been as effective...

Great post. I can add a bit more if I may... On this "Neither an introvert or an extrovert.". Being one or the other stems mainly from genetics, how our brain works. An "extrovert" is at ease talking with many people at a time. He is comfortable with making mistakes while talking, as he simply learns from those, from the reaction of the listeners. Politicians come from this group. An "introvert" is at ease talking with one or 2 people at a time, as he gets uncomfortable and confused, if he makes a mistake, shown by the reaction of others. But in a group of 10 people for example, he will regain a level of comfort, as he is able to focus on only one or two people from that group. So an introvert is more likely to have this 'fear of public speaking'. Ways of learning. Extrovert. Learning while speaking. Like a politician. Does not care a bit about being called names (smile). And many extroverts might gladly join a protest group, without knowing anything about the subject matter. Introvert. Tendency, depending on his surrounding, to do his homework, before voicing opinions... Might become an intellectual.. The more an introvert learns, the less this introversion characteristic can become apparent. And given the polarization of ideas in this world, hopefully introverts will be studying subject matters while extroverts are out on the streets. (smile). And these 2 characteristics are compounded by the notion of people being either 'visual', or 'auditive', or 'kinesthetic', which will affect also the way information is processed. But I will not describe these, as off the subject. And on this part of your post: "I simply value my 'alone time'"...... I read recently that people, as they age, get a lot more protective of their time, (or should). Staying away from small talk. Concentrating less on family, more on just a few good friends, with whom you share values and thoughts, and ideology perhaps.. Indistinguishable from being an 'introvert' for any 'extrovert'. Socioemotional Selectivity Theory: This prominent theory suggests that as people perceive their time horizons as limited (which often occurs with advancing age, though not strictly at age 70), they shift their priorities. They tend to invest less time in future-oriented goals or casual social contacts and more time in emotionally meaningful pursuits and close relationships

Well, here is an Algerian doing a good deed.. But then: Japanese citizens: In 2023, there were approximately 39,000 Japanese citizens living in Germany, with 2 suspected of violent crimes. Algerian citizens: During the same year, there were approximately 25,000 Algerians living in Germany, with 1,729 suspected of violent crimes. Interpretation: This data indicates a significantly higher rate of violent crime involvement per capita for Algerians compared to Japanese citizens in Germany. It's important to note that these statistics only represent suspicions and may not reflect actual guilty... Ah these statistics. But I had some Algerians friends. They locked everything. When I asked why, they replied, because if you do not in Algeria, you come back and everything is gone.... Sounds like a reliable source of information...

Yes, and??? So just replace 'silent majority' for a given situation, with another word, related to religion, ideology, or otherwise, and it could help you understand. So yes, at a given time, it was the Christians whose silence was deafening... And this is why Brigitte Gabriel makes this analogy about silent majorities being irrelevant...

Just for you, the substance in the narrative of Brigit Gabriel, is about a "silent majority', regardless of the issue, religion or otherwise....

Recognizing cultural traits of a given culture, as the facts suggest, is not a prejudice. If Islam and Muslims do not want to be called out because of their doings in this world, they should work on changing their culture to adhere to the rest of the civilized world....

Brigitte Gabriel: "Most Germans were peaceful, yet the Nazis drove the agenda, and the result, 60 million people dies, 14 million in concentration camps, and so on.... The silent majority was irrelevant..."

From what have seen done stemming form political ideologies, good or bad, I have come to the conclusion that all the civilized countries in this era need a Conservative government, so driven by right wing ideology. The "right is right" is the way I see it now, and Trump is on that side of the spectrum. Until such time as a better right wing ideology leader is identified and chosen, Trump it will be as the better choice...

The title should read: "Which delusion have you been brainwashed into when you were a kid?" When we can say with a high level of certainty which is your delusion, just by knowing where you were born and raised, it supports no other title... -The 2.2 billion of Christians -The 1.5 billion of Muslims -The 488 million de Buddhists -The one billion of believers in Hinduism - -the 28 million believers in Sikhism -the 13 million believers in Judaism -the 104 million believers in Shinto - -The 4 million believers in Jainism -and lesser known religions -without forgetting the 189 members of the Flat Earth Society. All of these delusions are mostly linked to a geographical location. Leaves no room for personal choice of your own. I ended up believing in none of them...

Every single Thai woman employed in the Israeli agricultural industry has suffered sexual assault, a report has shown. Jew haters, they would say that wouldn’t they.

https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/100-percent-of-foreign-agriculture-workers-were-sexually-assaulted-expert-says-682532 And here are some comments from readers: 20 October, 2021 2 points: I live in a rural area and I can tell you that 99% of the Thai workers are men. the few women I've seen are wives/girlfriends of other Thai workers. Second-100% really? Very hard to believe 20 October, 2021 Thai agricultural workers in Israel were all male last time I checked. And the people doing the assaulting are probably fellow workers. I lived on a kibbutz years ago. The kibbutz had to close the pub to the Thai workers after they got drunk and raped a fellow worker. December, 2024 What a lie. I live in the moshavs and know the workers. None of them were abused, at all, not sexually or otherwise. Has Jpost sold out to HaAretz? And an excerpt from the Jerusalem Post: Representatives from the National Insurance Institute (NII) and Israel Police noted that their systems do not possess the necessary data for complaints from foreign workers and immigrants. "We have data for complainants who are not Israeli citizens but that might also apply to tourists," a representative from Israel Police stated. According to the rep, some 4% of the 25,494 sexual assault complaints since 2017 were filed by non-Israeli citizens.

So what are we to think about the tariffs imposed by Thailand. I was somewhat surprised to see Italian coffee, sold in my country at about 120 baths equivalent, while it is sold in Thailand supermarkets for 500 bahts. So I thought it is all tariffs, and so I thought that Thailand, as a conservative country, imposes heavy tariffs to protect its own coffee producers. As I like the Conservative view, I thought that it must be a good thing... And I remember a neighbor in my country coming home with a case of 24 Heineken beer, and I asked him why he buys this beer that tastes like water, while we have so many good beers made in our own country.He replied:"But it is expensive", as if this would equate to a better quality and tasting beer. I told him that the price he pays includes at least a $10. added import tax... And that he was simply giving more money to the government, with no benefits to the beer manufacturers in our country. Oh well, tariffs, made to protect our own, now seen as a bad thing. The Thai friends who were saying bad things about Trump's tariffs affecting Thailand, I asked them how they felt about the tariffs imposed by Thailand on other countries, giving the coffee prices as an example. No answer yet...

And how about this gem here... All about what we were brainwashed to believe when we were still in those naive years....
