The claim that Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin "was a MAGA' is a false conspiracy theory. Robinson came from a conservative family, but multiple reports and statements from Utah Gov Cox confirm he had shifted sharply to the left in the year before the killing. The claim that Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin Robinson was a MAGA is a false conspiracy theory. Robinson came from a conservative family, but court documents and his own mother’s statements show he had shifted sharply left in the year before the murder. He became more "pro gay and trans rights oriented", started dating a transgender partner (biological male transitioning), and texted that partner after the shooting saying he killed Kirk because he "had enough of his hatred" right as Kirk was addressing transgender issues. He was unaffiliated, didn’t vote in 2024, and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox described him as deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology. https://www.ktvu.com/news/mom-charlie-kirks-alleged-assassin-describes-radical-shift-last-year-more-pro-gay-trans-rights https://abc7ny.com/post/judge-decide-key-hearing-man-accused-killing-charlie-kirk-will-public/19211520/Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:52:00 +0000Time's up. Even procrastination has given up on Thailand.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:50:52 +0000Thailand has drifted into becoming the Benidorm of the East. Long haul tourists don't find this attractive. Their international image especially in the West is hardly encouraging, deals with Russia, wars with Cambodia support for the Myanmar Junta and an attitude to visas that is perceived as niggardly at best....... its no wonder that people interested in S.E. Asia are less interested in Thailand and looking elsewhere for a "genuine" Asian experience.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:50:48 +0000Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:50:29 +0000The background music in the video is really captivating. Or could it be from a trailer? Judging by the visuals, it seems like Channel 7 might be gearing up for a new Thai soap opera. Then again, could it be a reality documentary instead? I suppose we’ll find out soon enough. 😊Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:49:17 +0000Or maybe they just like cock?Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:49:10 +0000Let alone all their nuclear development, deep underground in mountains lol I shudder at the naivety of the Western luvvies and much of the media.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:48:44 +0000Miscarriages of Justice are hardly seen nowadays with forensics DNA etc. I will repeat again someone that accidentally kills someone if there slapped and falls to the ground and sadly die are not killed by a Monster. l'm talking about a person who walks into a Concert Venue full of mostly teens and kids and detonates a bomb killing as many as he can, or a person or persons that have a duty of care to an infant then sexually abuse that child and murders him. Thats the difference.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:48:37 +0000Both the USA and Israel possess and certainly in the case of Israel use cluster munitions.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:48:35 +0000Thank for that Upnotover .Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:48:21 +0000It's quite beautiful seeing Farage being harried by someone he previously dumped on. There is only room for one Lion King in Reform Ltd. I suspect the party will unravel fairly quickly if the momentum starts to reverse, particularly now that it has attracted a fair number of sharp-elbowed senior Tories who jumped ship for power rather than principle. If Farage can't break through, or if enough tactical voters continue to view him as politically toxic, two things are likely to follow. First, he won't win an election. Second, the senior cohort around him will eventually turn on him. Farage has never shown much appetite for the trench warfare and spadework required to build and maintain a political party over the long term. What he clearly enjoys is the money, the profile, and the grandstanding that come with being the insurgent outsider. Those are very different skills from leading a disciplined movement capable of taking and holding power.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:48:15 +0000Doesn’t say he is a Brit but I’m claiming him. Well done big lad.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:47:13 +0000Sorry the majority of Israeli voters don't agree with your genocide narrative so they're not going to elect a leader that does. However there are excellent Israeli focussed reasons to dump Netanyahu so there is hope for that.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:46:39 +0000From what I have read, their priority is nominee property structures running commercial as in hotel-type properties. Most are probably listed on line somewhere.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:46:37 +0000Nobody can stop warlord Netanyahu; the unpunished genocide in Gaza has emboldened him and torn the mask off the international community that allowed it to happen.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:45:39 +0000As the Thais say, "Look khon rooay", with a fatalistic shrug of the shoulders and a roll of the eyes.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:45:26 +0000Same - so no idea why yours was different to most other posters. 🤔Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:45:22 +0000🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:45:14 +0000Might be roids or drugs like coke or angle dust involved... hopefully not a "Brit" and someone else for a change.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:45:13 +0000Confirming one more time... The wee hours are for sleeping, and leave the crazies to live their own soap operas. I'll watch it the next day on YouBoob.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:44:51 +0000There really is a lot of anti-foreigner and tourist sentiment these days here... but you can't have it both ways Thailand. You either put up with the tourists and take the dollars, or you clamp down into your nationalist wet dream and accept visitor numbers plummeting... this is 2026 and people have options despite your preferences. You have to make a choice but if you want the high rollers, then you need to seriously change things and the experience on every level, which I don't think you are prepared to do... join reality instead of living in fantasy land.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:43:30 +0000Maybe a more optimistic way to look at it particularly as you've chosen to live in Thailand is that you've already voted with your feet. Thailand didn't spend decades arguing about "stopping the boats" while doing very little. When the Rohingya boat crisis arrived on its doorstep, it dealt with it in a manner that many Western democracies would regard as unacceptably harsh. The boats stopped but whether one approves of the methods is another matter entirely. At the same time, Thailand continues to enjoy the economic benefits of large numbers of low-wage migrant workers, whether as gardeners, cleaners, construction workers, domestic staff or in countless other roles that keep the economy ticking over.So perhaps take the win. You've chosen to live in a country whose approach to immigration, borders and labour markets appears considerably closer to your own preferences than that of modern Britain. Let Britain sort out Britain's problems. Lookup two names: Phuketwan and Major General Paween Pongsirin. Phuketwan's journalists found themselves prosecuted after reporting allegations concerning the treatment of Rohingya migrants and the involvement of elements within the Thai authorities. They were eventually acquitted, but the prosecution itself spoke volumes. Then there is Paween Pongsirin, the senior police investigator who led the human-trafficking investigation that uncovered mass graves and trafficking camps along the Thai-Malaysian border. His reward for following the evidence was to leave Thailand and seek asylum in Australia after claiming his investigation had reached individuals too powerful to touch. Thailand solved the problem in its own way, under its own political system, and with methods that would never survive scrutiny in a Western liberal democracy. Which brings us back to Britain. If you genuinely prefer Thailand's approach, congratulations you've already found the country that matches your views. Why spend your retirement getting angry about a political system and electorate you've chosen to leave behind? Britain will make its own choices, for better or worse, just as Thailand has made hers as have you. But as I said to my nephew that was gushing about Thailand when he spent 3 months post-graduation on his SE Asian trip and how cheap it all was I said just remember there's no reverse equivalent of Thai students backpacking in Europe and that's why it cheap ...for you.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:43:09 +0000Yep, not difficult to guessSat, 20 Jun 2026 06:42:10 +0000No Arab State has committed to fund anything. It's Trump promising others' money, as usual. 😃Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:41:08 +0000One question - what colour is the khazi?Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:41:00 +0000
