People are saying the Left created a Monster, Barrack Obama,News

The social justice warrior state party monster that Obama & the Dem's created has come front & center, gone are the moderates in their party who spoke up to the far left. GOP House leader called the new party movement communist/ Socialist/Marxist. The left's long cultivation of this activist state ideology has produced predictable outcomes rising radicalism, policy failures on borders and security,foreign policy and rhetoric that frames dissent as backward rather than a defense of founding principles. Moderates who once checked the fringes are sidelined, allowing the "monster" to roar louder in 2026. Whether one sees it as organic evolution or Frankenstein level overreach, the debate centers on whether America course corrects toward liberty and merit or doubles down on Marxist collectivist experiments of systemic far left progressivism.

I can only speak from personal experience, I am no stranger to pain I have had plenty of acute instances like Tooth aches, Wacking my finger with a hammer , black eyes ,cuts bruises , broken bones, major surgery , the list is endless , and i have tried and tried and tried again but neither Edibles, nor Smoking , gave me any pain relief although when combined with the more traditional opiate based pain killers it certainly didn't make things any worse , in fact it made things a whole lot more bearable. In terms of its proposed medical use and its availability, as presumably a prescription only drug, why has the government imposed a maximum amount that one can be prescribed, ? surely like any other drug the doctor, should decide on the required dosage, I believe the amount is 30g per month which just so happens to be a limit for personal possession in some other countries It might be enough for a light recreational smoker but nowhere near enough for somebody suffering from chronic pain

Not all Israeli's are happy with what the government & IDF are doing, Israeli former leaders and security chiefs threaten legal action over 'Jewish terrorism' The letter accuses the IDF of complicity in terrorism through a failure to intervene and active participation in violence. Dozens of Israelis from the country’s security, political and cultural elite have threatened legal action against their government over support for Jewish terrorism and an “ideology of ethnic cleansing” in the occupied West Bank, according to a leaked letter. Two former prime ministers, former heads of all the Israeli security services, former judges, a Nobel laureate and the country’s most revered living novelist were among the signatories to a “final warning” over violence against Palestinians. They demanded immediate action to “eradicate Jewish terrorism”, cataloguing years of attacks – including murder, sexual assault, theft, arson and desecration of the dead – by civilian and military perpetrators who acted with “almost complete impunity”. The campaign of extreme violence against Palestinians broke Israeli and international law, put Israel’s security at risk, isolated the country internationally and fuelled antisemitism around the world, they said. “This letter is a wake-up call and a final warning: We demand that you take all necessary measures to immediately eradicate Jewish terrorism that has been prevalent in Judea and Samaria in recent years,” the letter said, using an Israeli term for the occupied West Bank. If the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his defence and security ministers and security commanders do not condemn and stop the violence, the signatories say they will petition Israel’s high court to force their hand. The letter, which has not been made public, was sent to the prime minister’s office, the ministries of defence and national security, the military, police, and intelligence services. A copy was seen by the Guardian. Signatories now raising the alarm about violence against Palestinians include commanders who led Israeli forces in occupied Palestine, and politicians who presided over years of settlement expansion. Their acute sense of crisis is not reflected in the broader public debate in Israel as unofficial campaigning gets under way for elections due by the end of October. The letter accused Netanyahu and his far-right coalition partners, who are expected to seek another term in power together, of enabling attacks on Palestinians to further an extremist agenda of ethnic cleansing and annexation. “This is not solely a military and police failure, but the implementation of an overt policy by the Israeli government and its prime minister in general, and by the relevant ministers in particular,” the letter said. “[They] order the military, the police, and Shin Bet [the internal security agency] to enable the terrorism of Jewish criminals, because this horrendous phenomenon serves well the current government’s ideology of carrying out ‘ethnic cleansing’ in the territories of Judea and Samaria to facilitate their future annexation.” The letter also drew parallels with historic attacks on Jewish communities in Europe. “The crimes of Jewish terrorism in the territories are reminiscent of similar crimes and pogroms committed against our people by other nations in eastern Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries.” Israel’s military was complicit in this campaign of terror, through a failure to intervene and active participation in violence, the letter said. Attackers have included members of regional defence units, men in part-uniform, and men who were not in active service but carried weapons they got from the Israeli military or national security ministry. “The IDF [Israel Defense Forces] has clear policy of ignoring the crimes of Jewish terrorism, and in many incidents soldiers from the regional defense units and [settlement] security squads are themselves involved in the crimes of Jewish terrorism,” the letter said. Since 2020, Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed at least 1,100 Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, at least a quarter of whom were children, UN data shows. No one has been charged over any of these deaths. The attacks jeopardised Israeli security because they risked spurring Palestinian revenge attacks or even an uprising, or intifada, against Israeli occupation, the group warned. Many signatories have previously denounced violence in the West Bank in public statements. However this letter, drafted and sent by the lawyer Shmuel Berkowitz, brought together a broader group, linked the violence to soldiers as well as settlers, and for the first time threatened legal action. Signatories include two former prime ministers, Ehud Olmert and Ehud Barak, four former ministers whose portfolios included defence and justice, and more than 30 former security commanders including two chiefs of staff for Israel’s military and heads of the Mossad, Shin Bet and the police. Prominent figures from outside politics and the security sector include the novelist David Grossman, the Nobel chemistry laureate David Kornberg, an Oscar winner and 10 Israel Prize award winners. Signatories from the legal system include a former attorney general, judges and senior legal advisers to the government. From academia, signatories include the former CEO of Tel Aviv University and an expert on international terror. There are also rabbis and former ambassadors. The letter said recent condemnations of violence by political and military leaders were not credible without action. “How come you have not been successful in eradicating Jewish terror, given that the identity of their leaders and their places of residence are well known to you, and they are estimated to number a few hundred [people]?” said one section addressed directly to Gen Avi Bluth, the commanding officer in the occupied West Bank. Sponsored The letter warned of government financial, political and legal support for violence and a culture of impunity, with the Israeli police and military each claiming the other has jurisdiction to prosecute attackers. The letter took direct aim at Netanyahu, noting that his claim last year that settler violence was the work of a few dozen teenagers had “no basis in reality”. There were questions for other officials including the far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, the defence minister, Israel Katz, the chief of staff, Eyal Zamir, Shin Bet’s head, David Zini, and the police commissioner, Daniel Levy. The prime minister’s office, the defence and national security ministries, the police and the Israeli military were approached for comment on the letter but did not respond. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/israeli-former-leaders-and-security-chiefs-threaten-legal-action-over-jewish-terrorism/ar-AA26qwRH?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=6a3bb57f09a8402285a08a514412c216&cvpid=1b13105f9a2a4771a2dbfa74eb9b9c31&ei=11

No, there are not daily news reports. Often the stories are an update of an existing story. You are inventing scenarios which are not supported by the data. Yes, UK nationals commit crimes. However, the incidence is far less than that of the Thai national incidence, and the vast majority of reported crimes are minor offences. The major criminals are rarely stopped, and most of us who have been around for awhile know why. The burden is on you to back up your conclusions. I know that from looking at the past 30 days of "crimes" reported in the news section, the activity isn't there to support your claim. Two months ago, Asean Now's gang of bigots were claiming Israelis were behind a crime wave. People like SpiderMike was apoplectic with his imaginary Israeli criminal gangs in Surat Thani. The data just does not support the wild claims. There haven't been any Israelis named in some time, and I expect that the junior sleuth club has moved on to a new group to denigrate. It is remarkable that the increased reporting of "crimes" coincides with the government change in visa policy. It appears to me that a "problem" has been created to support a political agenda. The serious criminals are not here on the 30 or 60 day visas. They are here on the dubious work visas, the DTVs and the multi entry visas. No criminal is going to set up a criminal enterprise if they only have 30 or 60 days. The profitable boiler rooms, the real estate promotions, the brothel and bar operations are the work of long stay foreigners and we have yet to see these criminal enterprises significantly targeted. The drunks and petty thefts are common in almost every tourist destination that offers cheap room and board and affordable airfares, along with the activities such people enjoy such as cheap tawdry bars and the sex trade. The foreign criminals are in Thailand because Thailand welcomes them and profits from them.

Love working from home. Listen to albums on Spotify while working, particularly enjoyed listening to 70s prog albums I had never listened to before as I didn't like prog back then. The downside of working from home is there's little to disturb you so you tend to work longer without a break.

I need better sleep – how about Gummies .

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 17:03:51 +0000

Using gummies to promote sleep can pose several issues. Firstly, ingesting any cannabis products processed in Thailand, comes with risks; no testing of potency, pesticides, toxins, heavy metals, etc. is an inherent risk to begin with. Secondly, and this is far more involved than the primary risk, is this: Cannabis, and its cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBN) will alter sleep architecture. Initially, you may benefit from decreased sleep latency and ‘put you to sleep’, but your body will quickly adapt to the sedative effects and develop a tolerance. At first, it will be quite effective and seem like the ‘magic bullet’. It creates a short-term illusion of better sleep - “The knockout effect”. Long term, chronic use leads to a decrease in deep, rested sleep. REM sleep and slow wave rhythm will be altered and suppressed. inevitably you will experience more restless sleep, decreased or no dreaming and fatigue. Prolonged use can produce daytime brain fog and mood swings. Withdrawal effects will likely make you more dependent, requiring higher doses and cause vivid nightmares (the opposite of early onset use) and frequent nighttime awakening. Edibles, if you are insistent on their use, are more effective for maintaining sleep and smoking more effective at falling asleep quickly. Start with low doses and titrate up, slowly increasing the dose. You should first identify if your problem is A. Falling asleep or B. Staying asleep. Most ‘sleep doctors’ recommend cannabis products as a secondary protocol in addition to other therapies as opposed to the singular method to affecting sleep (for the above mentioned reasons). As some posters have mentioned, lowering bedtime temps <20C, no digital screen time, no alcohol, no food before bedtime, etc. are really good things to practice. You will be presented, at some point, with the Sativa/Indica paradigm that is wholly a myth that seemingly will not die. Sativa makes you stimulated and up, and Indica will sedate you and make you ‘down’. This is budtender, pot shop lingo used in marketing. Through extreme hybridization of cannabis, it is just a talking point. My personal advice to you (I am NOT a doctor): try microdosing - tiny amounts of THC, at first. Anecdotally measure the effectiveness. Try CBN products (likely not available here in Thailand). Only mildly psychoactive, has shown to increase non-REM sleep duration without inducing REM suppression seen with THC. CBN Does not lower sleep latency, nor does it improve sleep quality. It does, however, reduce nighttime awakening. There has been a lot of hype in social media about CBN that has subsequently been disproven but has shown promise as a secondary sleep protocol. Try this in concert with the recommendations of previous posts, I.e, temp, alcohol, food, screen time, etc. I have been in the medical end of cannabis (cultivation and extraction) since 2018. I have written several posts on the subject in this forum. I would be more than happy to post or send to you directly, white papers and science journal extracts on cannabis and sleep.

It holds true for most people and Thais definately fit this mould. Less likely amongst farangs though due to being more critical which is western mind of a broken world. The eastern mind accepts the world. Westerners prefer negative people. Trump is Hitler. Climate is stuffed. Extreme views dominate their thoughts. Black and white thinking. Heaven and hell. Centuries of brain washing.
