Kennedy gives Swing voters a clear choice, Trump
No idea where you got the idea I was in Pattaya but many GQP people have literacy issues. No idea about Walz embroidering his resume. It would be disappointing if it is true. Walz certainly never won a Pulitzer like DJT. He never lied about vaccines, killing tens of thousands of his own voters. He never lied on his oath of office, by starting a rebellion. He never lied about stealing national secrets. He was never indicted on 93 felonies and convicted on 34, so far. He never colluded with a foreign dictator to interfere with an election. He was never sued for stealing from a charity. He was never sued for housing discrimination. He was never investigated for taking 10 million in bribes from foreign leaders. .......... -

Heavy Rains Cause Landslides in Phuket, 1 Dead
Georgealbert, thanks for the news .. it is very sad that many lives have been taken in this landslide. It makes me sad when I see human error causes these disasters. I hope the relatives take their surviving family members in and give them food. -

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Israeli army radio reports that about 100 Israeli fighter jets preemptively struck more than 200 Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon where rockets were prepared to fire at Israeli territory. Foreign Minister @Israel_katz addressed dozens of foreign ministers around the world this morning, calling on them to support Israel. The Foreign Minister stressed that Israel acted after definitively identifying a large-scale planned attack of missiles and drones by the terrorist organization Hezbollah towards targets in Israel, and carried out a preemptive strike to thwart the attack. The minister emphasized that Israel is acting to protect its citizens and territory against the axis of evil led by Iran, which has a declared goal of bringing about Israel's destruction. Minister Katz emphasized that Israel does not seek an all-out war and will act according to developments on the ground. The Foreign Minister stressed to his counterparts around the world that at this time, their support for the State of Israel and its right to defend itself against the Iranian axis of evil and its proxy organizations, especially Hezbollah, is crucial. -

THAILAND LIVE Thailand Live Sunday 25 August 2024
Decades ago Alcohol (for cleaning and Desinfektion 90%) was sold colourless in 1 Liter bottles in Poland, available in many shops. Many people died. So the govt ordered a purple color for this kind of alc. Not surprising people living on the streets of Warsaw drank this, knowing they might die. This I watched during a sailing trip I'm the Baltic Sea 1980. Maybe Thai Govt should consider this. -

Lone Gunman Strikes Again at Thung Song Mall's Gold Shop, Identical to the Previous Attack
Well if it worked once why change it. I think it is really stupid to put these gold shops so close to the Entrance, they should be at the furthest point, but TIT. -

President Kamala Harris
So exactly what did you think was 'garbage'. Just so you know what was proposed (as I doubt you took the time to read it, here are the highlights:- 1. Once illegal border crossings reach a certain threshold, the Department of Homeland Security would be required to exercise a new emergency authority that bars migrants, from crossing the border between ports of entry. The authority would automatically kick in if crossings rise above 5,000 on average per day on a given week, or 8,500 in a single day. 2. Asylum officers from US Citizenship and Immigration Services will decide on the asylum cases of migrants at the border. The legal standard of proof for passing an initial screening will be higher. And those applying will also have to prove they could not have moved to another part of their country to avoid persecution. Those who pass initial asylum screenings will immediately be eligible for work permits. Those who don’t pass the screenings can appeal to an asylum review board. If they lose their administrative appeal, which must occur within 72 hours, they will be ordered removed from the US without additional review. 3. The use of Alternatives to Detention, like ankle monitors and special cell phones used for check-ins with authorities, is already on the rise. This proposal would expand the use of these alternatives, as those who are allowed into the US to continue their asylum cases will be placed into the program. 4. Several groups that have been lobbying hard for more protections from Congress made notable headway in this deal: • If it’s passed, Afghan evacuees to the US who’ve been in limbo since the fall of Kabul in 2021 would get a pathway to citizenship. • Many so-called “documented Dreamers” who were brought legally to the US as children of parents with visas would also find themselves on more solid footing, becoming eligible for work permits and being allowed to remain part of their families’ applications for green cards after they turn 21. • The bill would also provide federal dollars to fund legal representation in immigration court for unaccompanied minors under 13. 5. A proposal for 2025 includes a $4.7 billion emergency fund for border security to enable the Department of Homeland Security to ramp up operations in the event of a migrant surge. Also $405 million to hire 1,300 more Border Patrol agents, funding to keep ICE’s 34,000 existing detention beds, $1 billion for aid to Central America to address the root causes of migration, and nearly $1 billion to address the backlog of over 2.4 million pending cases in U.S. immigration courts. To combat fentanyl smuggling, Biden asked for funding to hire an additional 1,000 CBP officers who can stop the illicit drug from coming across the U.S.-Mexico border and $849 million for technology to detect fentanyl at the border. Sources - Biden's proposed budget includes $4.7 billion emergency fund for border migrant surges (nbcnews.com) What the border security bill would and wouldn’t do | CNN Politics Please be precise in your answers to include what you would offer as an alternative other than the highly impractical and very illegal 'close the border' that I hear from so many Trump fans. -

Jealous Husband Sets Woman on Fire, Leaves Her in Critical Condition
"Yes she did. Just read the article properly. She left her child at home and went to a bar where she proceeded to get drunk. She left a 1 year old toddler at home, to go a to a bar to get drunk". No she did not, there was no reference to that. If she did, then I'm sure that you will be able to quote the specific part of the OP where that was reported and post it here. -

The carpark at the Big Buddha may have contributed to this starting as it appears a sinkhole developed and then the soil on the hill side gave away. The water may have been running underneath the tree / forest growth and continually washing the soil downhill. This is likely why the hillside growth failed. Sue the carpark developers and contractors. -

Thaksin Calls for Tax Cuts to Boost Thai Banking Liquidity
Umm, This is Thailand? 😋 Tell you what, he’ll be an anti-hero if he says Taxin (I’m a poet and don’t know it) the expats is vile and wrong. But we all know he hates us and that’ll never happen. -

Going short-time only, shallow or succulent?
You would grow from the experience of betrayal and abandonment. That's true. Many of us, if not all, would have gone through that. But as we saw with the poor poster here who, at 72 just went through a breakup, the pain is real. So, this fantasy of the soul, love, is lovely for a while, but also quite dangerous, when it inevitable comes to an end. -

Weak water flow and pressure
Once a wall is shaded, unless the ambient outside temperature fluctuates significantly, the wall is going to be about the temperature of the outside temperature, regardless of what the wall is composed of.
