https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenMy Thai wife sadly died last Aug in London, I bought a house in Hua Hin for our retirment which is due in Sept 2027. I put the house in her name, luckily I had wills made, so I had to go to a Thai court last Nov where I became sole administrator for her will, everything she owed now comes only to me, including the house. The judge gave me a year to sort out the land that the house sits on problem. I have a ufostruct in place and a yellow book for the house. It seemed to me then that I have two or three options . Sell the house . Put the land portion of the house into my Thai Lawyer's Holding Company and start a 30 year lease . I could sell the land portion to a good Thai friend and start a 30 year lease with her I decided to put the house on the market but I don't think it's going to sell before the Nov deadline I'm back in London and the house is being rented by an English couple, they have an agreement until April 2027 but under the circumstanses they are willing to cut short the contract if I get a buyer. To be honest, I trust my Thai friend a little more than a Thai lawyer, I just need to be sure I've covered as many bases as possible, so I don't get shafted, any advise would be most appriciatedMon, 08 Jun 2026 17:54:13 +0000They call it prison napalm.Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:44:24 +0000Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:43:00 +000059Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:41:43 +0000Lots of places shifted or shut down after the rules tightened, so most folks I know stick to licensed shops rather than trying anything online.

So, when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires, what we need to do to create these jobs. And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children and what that means to the future of our nation, depending on whether or not they have the resources they need to achieve their God-given talent.

The attacks targeted oil facilities, logistics networks and transport links hundreds of miles from the front line, underlining Kyiv’s growing ability to impose costs deep inside territory controlled by Moscow. Oil Infrastructure Engulfed in Flames One of the most significant strikes hit the Grushovaya oil trans-shipment base near Novorossiysk in Russia’s Krasnodar region. Images from the scene showed a huge column of smoke rising into the sky as emergency crews battled the blaze. Russian authorities confirmed a fire at the facility and deployed more than 130 firefighters to contain it. The site is one of southern Russia’s major hubs for handling oil and petroleum products, making it a strategically important target. Crimea Rail Network Thrown Into Chaos The campaign also struck transport infrastructure in occupied Crimea. A Ukrainian drone reportedly hit a passenger train travelling from Moscow to Simferopol, killing a railway worker and injuring the driver. Rail services across Crimea were temporarily halted as authorities evacuated passengers and scrambled replacement transport. The disruption highlights Ukraine’s increasing focus on military and logistical routes connecting occupied territories to mainland Russia. Drone Swarm Stretches Russian Defences Russia’s Defence Ministry claimed it intercepted 310 Ukrainian drones overnight across multiple regions, including Moscow, Crimea, the Black Sea and southern Russia. The scale of the attack illustrates the mounting pressure on Russia’s air-defence network. Even where interceptions occur, the need to defend vast areas of territory is forcing Moscow to spread resources across an increasingly wide front. Fuel Lifelines Under Sustained Attack Ukraine also reported strikes on oil and fuel facilities in the Volgograd region and occupied Crimea, including sites used to support Russian military operations. The campaign reflects Kyiv’s broader strategy of targeting fuel depots, energy infrastructure and logistics hubs to weaken Russia’s ability to sustain combat operations. Rather than focusing solely on the battlefield, Ukraine is increasingly aiming at the machinery that keeps the war running. As fires burn and transport links face disruption, the message from Kyiv is becoming clearer: nowhere within Russia’s logistical network can be considered completely secure.

Here he goes again..... President Donald Trump alleged, without evidence, that the Los Angeles mayoral race is "crooked" and that Republican candidates in California are "being cheated." In the L.A. mayoral race, Democrats Karen Bass and Nithya Raman are projected to advance to a run-off, with Republican Spencer Pratt likely not making the cut under California's "open" primary system. Trump also claimed fraud in California's governor's race and repeated his election rigging allegations at a Wisconsin event. The Department of Justice dispatched an Assistant U.S. Attorney to observe vote counting in L.A., while California Attorney General Rob Bonta reassured the public about election integrity. Throughout his statements, Trump provided no evidence to support his claims of widespread election fraud.

What was once grumbling on nationalist Telegram channels is rapidly turning into public frustration. As Ukrainian drones and missiles reach deeper into Russian-controlled territory, some of Moscow’s most vocal supporters are now directing their anger at the military leadership itself. Air Defences Under Pressure According to assessments highlighted by the Institute for the Study of War, Ukrainian strikes are increasingly targeting defence-industrial sites, logistics hubs and military infrastructure deep behind Russian lines. One influential pro-war commentator and former Storm-Z instructor warned that Ukraine is systematically degrading Russian air defence systems and radar networks. He accused officials of allowing bureaucracy and internal rivalries to undermine the country's ability to respond effectively. Logistics Network Starts to Fray The criticism comes as reports emerge of mounting logistical problems in southern Ukraine. The ATESH partisan movement claims Russian troops have begun withdrawing from parts of the Kinburn Spit after supply routes collapsed under sustained Ukrainian pressure. Without reliable deliveries of ammunition, fuel and food, frontline units were allegedly left isolated. Heavy losses and constant drone attacks further weakened their ability to maintain defensive positions. Fuel Shortages Spread Beyond the Battlefield The impact is now being felt away from the front. Reports of fuel restrictions in occupied Crimea have added to concerns that Ukraine’s campaign against supply networks is achieving broader strategic effects. Military bloggers have warned that disrupted fuel deliveries are affecting both civilian life and military operations. The shortages have fuelled growing anxiety among residents and raised fresh questions about Russia’s ability to protect critical infrastructure. Pressure Builds on Moscow’s Top Brass The backlash is increasingly focused on senior commanders, including Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov. Nationalist commentators have criticised military leaders for failing to strike key Ukrainian transport links and for allowing strategic vulnerabilities to persist. At the heart of the debate is a growing fear that Ukraine’s strategy is working. By targeting logistics, fuel supplies and military infrastructure simultaneously, Kyiv is seeking to make Russian positions harder to sustain and more costly to defend. As battlefield pressure mounts and criticism grows louder, the Kremlin faces a new challenge: managing discontent from some of its own most committed supporters.

The clip from Newsmax shows exactly that dynamic in action, farleft protesters at a T P USA Women's Leadership Summit in San Antonio clashing with police, attempting to swarm entrances, and openly chanting things like "Charlie Kirk deserves to die", "Erica Kirk, go to hell. It is right to rebel", while one person reenacted Kirk’s assassination. On the mayhemic ideology, these aren't people interested in debate or democratic norms. They’re driven by destruction, resentment, envy, and grievance politics. Newsmax guest points out the explicit Mao reference in their chants ("Women hold up half the sky" ,a quote from Mao during the Cultural Revolution). That era involved radicalized youth (Red Guards) tearing down society, attacking enemies of the revolution, middle class, teachers, etc., through struggle , violence, and mob rule. The video highlights hammer and sickle flags and masked agitators as further signals of that 100 million ,100 year death cult playbook.Mon, 08 Jun 2026 16:54:48 +0000
