If it was "orchestrated with the aim of price hike," then why, when the milk reappeared after a few days' absence was it either exactly the same price as before or even slightly cheaper for some brands?

As far as I'm aware, every article that was written about the Biden classified documents supports this. Here's the info from just one source, ABC News. Firstly, for the documents found at the Penn Center. Biden leaves questions unanswered on classified documents And for those found at his home in Wilmington: Classified documents found at Biden's Wilmington home

What? Giving statistics for underage pregnancy rates throughout the world has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with making excuses for anybody.

If you're talking about underage girls getting pregnant it's not the case that it happens more here than anywhere else. The countries with the highest rates of underage pregnancies are all in sub-Saharan Africa. Thailand's rate is around half (or less) than that of several of those countries.

Well, can one ever "know" anything? However I rather suspect that those parts that are based on actual documentary evidence in the possession of the prosecutors, and verbatim quotes given by witnesses under oath before the grand jury will indeed turn out to be facts.

You should be able to find it slightly cheaper than that. I asked at the BeWell clinic here in Hua Hin which is an "up market" clinic aimed very much at the expat market and their price for it is 4,850. I suspect that at a government hospital it might be even cheaper and even if you don't have a particularly high opinion of government hospitals (I personally have no problems with them) I think you can trust them to give you a vaccination without too much problem.

I would say it's entirely down to your own perception of the risk/benefit equation. Zostavax is listed in different studies as between 50 and 70% effective. While that's not as high as Shingrix, as others have said, shingles can be one of the most painful things many people will ever experience and can leave you with persistent nerve damage and pain that can continue for months. If you do get Zostavax now, it doesn't preclude getting Shingrix later if you have the opportunity.

A friend just alerted me to this. Apparently this information was around a few days ago but I hadn't noticed it. James Comer called Devon Archer’s interview about the Bidens a ‘bombshell’. He wasn’t actually there All of the claims that James Comer was making in the article referenced in the OP, about how we should interpret Devon Archer's testimony are complete BS because it turns out he had no direct knowledge of the testimony. At the time he made those comments the transcripts had not been released, so anything he was saying was based on the second (or perhaps even third) hand hearsay. Since he did not actually know what Archer had said, there no basis for taking anything he is saying about Archer's testimony seriously.

No, (and at the risk of repeating myself) I'm saying that there's no evidence that anything other than pleasantries were exchanged. And incidentally there's also absolutely no evidence whatsoever that Joe Biden ever received "millions via shell companies." If you want to know how he became wealthy, the article below shows that the majority of his and Jill Biden's current wealth comes from a book deal (worth $8 million) and speaking engagements. All of this is fully documented in his tax returns. How Joe Biden Went from Middle-Class Joe to a Millionaire

Well, what I firmly believe is that there's not a single shred of evidence currently available to show that any business-related matters were discussed in those phone calls. Although we do have the sworn testimony of an eye witness, given under penalty of perjury, that only pleasantries were exchanged. In the final analysis, you have nothing but supposition to offer and as I'm sure you're aware, supposition does not provide a legal basis for proving criminality.

Jack Smith is not a Democrat (he's a registered Independent) and in any event he is not ultimately the source of the accusations in the indictment. Those come from the largely Republican witnesses who testified before the grand jury, notably Trump's own VP Mike Pence. If you look at the list of witnesses in the article below (and on whose testimony the indictment is based) you can see that the vast majority of them are Republicans. Dozens of witnesses have testified as the Jan. 6-focused grand jury probes Trump

Pretty much every study ever done in a developed country shows that immigrants provide a net economic benefit to the countries they immigrate to. Here's just two examples for the US and UK, respectively. Benefits of Immigration Outweigh the Costs The Fiscal Effects of Immigration to the UK As I say, studies in pretty much every other developed nation find the same thing.

You can't extrapolate based on simply your own experience, though. Just because you used to take the 800k out doesn't mean the majority of people did. To give an opposing, also totally non-probative example, everybody I know who uses (or used to use) the 800k method, leaves (or left) it in all year. That doesn't mean the majority do, though I suspect more than just a few do it this way, based on the number of comments to that effect on this forum alone.

That's not an example of Occam's razor. Occam's razor is the principle that, "the simplest solution which is consistent with the existing data is preferred." (Emphasis mine). How to Use Occam’s Razor Without Getting Cut In this instance, there is no data or evidence to show what caused the fire, therefore you can't invoke Occam's razor to argue that EV's must have been responsible.

Sure, the people in that picture look Asian - but there's no way to know if they're Chinese or not. However you don't think that's a picture of the actual MG design team in England do you? Although it's also stated that: According to the article below here are the names of some of the main team members, at least as of a couple of years ago. MG Motors UK design team expands

I don't know if you realize it, but all you're doing is tacitly admitting that you don't even understand what Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election means.

The issue being discussed was Russian interference in the 2016 election. By definition, the people involved in it were foreigners. So your attempted rebuttal makes no sense.

As was already alluded to, the 13 Russian nationals who were indicted based on the findings of the Muller report and charged with interference in the 2016 election could not be brought to court as they were not under US jurisdiction. However, during the Trump administration a Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee investigation, in their 1,313-page report issued in July 2019, found that the Russian government had engaged in an extensive campaign to sabotage the election in favor of Trump, which included assistance from some of Trump's own advisers.

Don't be so sure. The judge in this case has a well-deserved reputation for moving things along extremely quickly. In fact she's already scheduled the first hearing, and so this case will "see the inside of a courtroom" in exactly 24 days - unless you know something that we don't. See link below. Trump’s first hearing in election case set for August 28

They undoubtedly hired Hunter Biden because of who his father was and I would say it's very likely that they hoped his family connections would be of use to them. However hoping that something would be true doesn't make it so.

I would describe it as what it is - a clip wherein it is clearly and unequivocally stated by the second person who speaks, that there is no evidence linking Joe Biden to any wrongdoing in connection with Hunter Biden's tax or gun charges.

The Thai FDA entry there indicates it was approved in May this year, so it seems that article I quoted earlier was correct, after all.

No, they don't. Goldman's remarks go to the point that Biden had no involvement in his son's business dealings. That's what, "they never once spoke about any business dealings," means. And I never once said anything about not believing the contents of the article. I'm pointing out (as several others have done) that the article does not provide any actual evidence of what Archer said or about whether Biden was involved in his son's business dealings. For instance, I am fully prepared to believe that the people mentioned, like Comer and Goldman, said what they are quoted as saying. However what they are saying is a) totally different and b) not probative of anything.
