The Only Patriotic Choice for President
A leftist propaganda outlet for the Regime could hardly be expected to think otherwise. Nothing new here.

The Republican Freak Show
He's already been asked the question and said he'd not run in 2028. But we hate to give up the idea and love sitting in the same old bathwater.

Chris kristofferson pass’s on
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/kris-kristofferson-dead-1107074/ Good article. Hadn't thought about him in a long time, but there went my morning. Major talent, unusual and unlikely. “What a great loss, what a great writer. What a great actor, what a great friend,” Dolly Parton said in a statement. “I will always love you.” He quietly announced his retirement from touring, recording, and acting in January 2021. In Hawaii. In 1970, Kristofferson bought property in Hana, a secluded town on the Hawaiian island of Maui. I've driven that insane little road leading way out to Hana and spent a night there. Very special place. I know he enjoyed his time there. Kristofferson and Joplin shared her house in Mill Valley, California, for a while, where jam sessions with fellow musicians, actors, and others were commonplace. (He played the Isle of Wight Festival in the summer of 1970, sharing the final day’s bill with Jimi Hendrix, who would die from an overdose just a few weeks later.) Inspired by both Larry Gatlin’s “Help Me” and an altar call while visiting a church with country singer Connie Smith at a desperately low point in his life, Kristofferson’s “Why Me” reached Number One on the country chart and spent 19 weeks on the pop survey as well, becoming one of the bestselling singles of the year. “I don’t think I’m that good a singer,” he told Rolling Stone. “I can’t think of a song that I’ve written that I don’t like the way somebody else sings it better.” His wife, who really helped in latter years: She balked at calling herself Kristofferson’s manager though. “He’s unmanageable. You can’t manage him,” she told Rolling Stone. “Even if someone tells him to have a good day, he’ll say, ‘Don’t tell me what to do.'”

Oh, YOU do. 🙂 I trust that means we're done with that point.

The Republican Freak Show
Over Harris, yes indeed. Leftist gaffe videos, with accompanying spin, can easily be overmatched by Kamala's average videos. Trump's obligated to follow the Republican Party platform, which he helped write: 2024 Republican Party Platform and he'll have a staff help him do so, just as Biden and Kamala have their staff running the entire gov't in their steads. Nor can the Prez, solo, press any nuke buttons--contrary to the usual hysterical trope. But hopefully Iran will think so. Funny how Iran and domestic leftists dovetail in their agendas. Relax, sit back, smell the coffee.

The Republican Freak Show
Legally, unless removed by invocation of the 25th, with which, according to some accounts, he was threatened. But, practically speaking, after the debate, he had to go, and so the Party, or rather the donors to whom they're beholden, forced him out. Simple as that. Sorry to blow the delusion; it seems important to you.

Thailand faces escalating heart and cardiovascular disease crisis
ANF Lifestyle Coaches regularly tout the George Burns Hail Mary as an excuse for an unhealthy lifestyle. Everyone's entitled to roll the dice or place their faith in the Genetics Voodoo if they wish. I think they shouldn't be hypocritical if they do, however; and they demonstrably are. One of our prominent Fatalists, for example, chose ICU out of simply bleeding out as Fate had decreed. Didn't disconnect any o' them tubes, nossir. Stop chasing after docs and taking all the meds!

Getting a credit card
You can top up that limit by adding cash, say 100k. Interest free, of course. Just sayin'.

Which gym are you using?
I think there's gay porn on your fave porn site to satisfy that fantasy. Not sure your boyfriend would approve of a lurid interest in other forum posters' buttocks, anyway. You of course have your own gym in which to study the male rear anatomy, but I'm not sure that you really go there. After needing arthroscopy on your knee in 2023 and then again nearly a year later just a couple of weeks ago? So that's either another of your made-up stories or simply stupid. The need for calorie tracking also signals the usual cluelessness.

Getting a credit card
What they all said. Now: find a bank that'll offer you a secured card w/ balance equal to the security deposit. Had such many years ago w/ Bank of Ayudhya. Later I worked for a Thai co. and got a regular cc.

Hitler’s AI Translated Speeches Go Viral on TikTok in Troubling Trend
Very much so, believing that using the standard Hitler trope for demonizing Trump is new, clever, and extremely powerful.🤣 Just a standard cliché.

Which gym are you using?
So I did during COVID. Added TRX knockoff, treadmill. Only two dumbbells needed. Isometric leg (leg raises) and back exercises (hyperextension and revers) off the bed.🙂 Stayed in good shape. Added a side stepper recently. May go back to that at some point.

High BP, revisited.
Averages do, reflecting more arteriosclerosis, no comfort there. The standard recommended ranges for all ages have moved down a notch. In 2017, new guidelines from the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and nine other health organizations lowered the numbers for the diagnosis of hypertension (high blood pressure) to 130/80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and higher for all adults. The previous guidelines set the threshold at 140/90 mm Hg for people younger than age 65 and 150/80 mm Hg for those ages 65 and older. --Reading the new blood pressure guidelines In particular, older men should take note of this new health standard. The new guidelines state that 70% to 79% of men ages 55 and older are now classified with hypertension. Those who were previously considered healthy may now fall within the elevated categorization. --Updated Blood Pressure Recommendation for Senior Health Care Fits, as only 12% in the USA are metabolically healthy.

Identification now required to make a cash deposits at Thai Banks?
It's just all so complicated, the idea that two other kinds of ID--Thai ID--could sometimes be used in lieu of one's passport, so obviating the need to carry it.🙂 But then, after laborious ratiocination, only to arrive at the triumphant conclusion that if one doesn't have either alternative ID, a passport must indeed suffice.

Identification now required to make a cash deposits at Thai Banks?
It can "be made to happen" with a different property owner, including yourself, DUH.

Identification now required to make a cash deposits at Thai Banks?
Silly blanket statement that "it's needed." I pointed that it's not--necessarily. OBVIOUSLY, if you don't have a pink card, then you can't use a pink card. Did you ask the OP whether it's impossible that he can get a pink card, and why? But, based on experience a couple of years ago, I think a Thai DL can be used, and that should be given a try. (OH--for chrissakes, bring the passport too as backup. 'Course, some overstayers may have lost their passports.) How much more mileage do you need outta this silly belaboring the obvious?
