Some people never change much. Same food, same drinks, same rituals every day, and they seem fine and happy.  I am a bit jealous of those people.  I have school friends who still have the same girlfriend, now wife, changed work once or twice, drive the same car brand, live in the same house, and in the same neighbourhood they grew up in. They talk about me, who have lived out of a bag, like it was some kind of adventure worth a lifetime.  But honestly, if I could, I would change some of it if not all. Or? Who knows, life is what it is!</description><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 05:57:36 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump Cabinet Meeting Descends Into Chaos And Confusion</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395565-trump-cabinet-meeting-descends-into-chaos-and-confusion/?do=findComment&comment=20526534]]></link><description>As usual, aides licking his boots, Trump lying and being confused, and...falling asleep! &#x1F604;</description><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 05:57:34 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Tulsi Gabbard Resigns as US Intelligence Chief</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395155-tulsi-gabbard-resigns-as-us-intelligence-chief/?do=findComment&comment=20526533]]></link><description>In other words,  Yes, the JCPOA did nothing to restrict Iran's development and production of intercontinental ballistic missiles and military drones.  Yes, the JCPOA allowed Iran to continue their nuclear program, including enrichment.  And yes, the JCPOA mandated inspections, but only in the areas Iran agreed to allow inspections.  In any event, why does Iran have so much enriched uranium if not for weapons?  And do you think Iran should be allowed to further develop their intercontinental ballistic missile, military drone, and nuclear program?  Please point out anything I have said that is untrue.

What should have been a serious discussion on Iran, NATO and the global economy instead produced a string of eyebrow-raising moments &#x2014; from Trump confusing Iran with Venezuela to reports he briefly appeared to fall asleep mid-meeting. The gathering lasted around 80 minutes and mixed major geopolitical issues with what critics described as &#x201C;cult-like&#x201D; displays of loyalty and self-promotion. Trump Unveils New MAGA MerchandiseOne of the strangest moments came when Trump presented Cabinet members with newly designed MAGA hats marking America&#x2019;s upcoming 250th anniversary. The caps featured a bald eagle, American flags and Mount Rushmore, complete with what appeared to be Trump&#x2019;s signature across the brim. Although none of the officials wore the hats, they were prominently displayed across the Cabinet table throughout the meeting, prompting critics online to mock the event as resembling a campaign merchandise launch rather than a government briefing. President Mixes Up Iran And VenezuelaDuring discussions about the ongoing Iran conflict, Trump appeared to confuse Iran with Venezuela while boasting about American military operations. The president claimed the United States had devastated Iran&#x2019;s military infrastructure and leadership, before mistakenly referring to the country as Venezuela during his remarks. The verbal slip immediately spread across social media, fuelling fresh questions over Trump&#x2019;s concentration and mental sharpness ahead of his 80th birthday next month. Threat To Bomb Oman Raises AlarmTrump also stunned observers after issuing what sounded like a direct threat against Oman &#x2014; a long-standing American ally in the Gulf. Asked whether Oman could play a joint role overseeing the Strait of Hormuz, Trump replied bluntly: &#x201C;Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we&#x2019;ll have to blow them up.&#x201D; The remark drew immediate backlash from foreign policy analysts, particularly given Oman&#x2019;s key diplomatic role in Middle East negotiations over recent decades. Trump Appears To Nod Off Mid-MeetingAt another point during the session, Trump appeared to close his eyes for several seconds while Secretary of State Marco Rubio was speaking about global oil markets. The moment triggered renewed speculation about the president&#x2019;s health, especially after recent reports surrounding his repeated visits to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and concerns over chronic venous insufficiency. NATO Allies Sent Stark WarningTrump also delivered a hard-edged message to NATO allies over energy security and the Strait of Hormuz crisis. &#x201C;We don&#x2019;t need oil. We don&#x2019;t need the strait. We don&#x2019;t need anything,&#x201D; he declared, insisting America&#x2019;s domestic oil production made the country immune from disruptions in the Gulf. The comments are likely to deepen anxiety among European allies already worried about Washington&#x2019;s increasingly unpredictable foreign policy stance. Cabinet Praise Session Sparks RidiculeDefence Secretary Pete Hegseth drew widespread mockery after comparing Trump to both George Washington and Abraham Lincoln during an extended speech praising the president&#x2019;s leadership. Critics branded the performance &#x201C;embarrassing boot-licking&#x201D; after Hegseth claimed Trump had tackled historic challenges on the same level as America&#x2019;s most revered presidents. Melania Comparisons For Cabinet OfficialMeanwhile, Small Business Administration chief Kelly Loeffler sparked online chatter after viewers compared her appearance to Melania Trump. Loeffler showered Trump with praise, declaring he had turned America back into &#x201C;a nation of builders&#x201D; and was leading the country toward &#x201C;the greatest economy the world has ever known.&#x201D; The extraordinary Cabinet meeting quickly became another flashpoint in the growing debate over Trump&#x2019;s leadership style, health and increasingly unconventional White House appearances.

Being as a friend of mine was also due, I offered to do his at the same time. Upon arrival I submitted both passports. The young assistant took them and returned them to the senior staff woman who asked me for 100 Baht for completing my friend's TM47. I said that it was a free service. She replied that if someone gets someone else to do their reporting then there is a 100 Baht charge. Have been doing 90 reports for many a year and I've never been caught on this scam. So I refused to pay. Okay you may say 'it's only 100 Baht' but for me it's the principal. 20+years of being honest. Anyways the senior staff woman then started to threaten me by refusing to do my friends report even though she'd entered the report into my friends passport. So I sat down and told her to go ahead and delete the entry. Which would mean a 160km road trip for my friend but not my problem. The staff woman then backtract on the 100 Baht and told me to go. Has anyone else been caught out with this scam? Or is it not a scam?</description><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 05:44:32 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
