Blast from the Past - 60's, 70's, 80's,90's Music (2024)
"Okie From Muskogee" We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee; We don't take our trips on LSD We don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street; We like livin' right, and bein' free. Yes, sir We don't make a party out of lovin'; We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo; We don't let our hair grow long and nasty and dirty, Like the hippies out in San Francisco do. Everybody sing one time I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee, A place where even squares can have a ball. Yes, sir We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse, And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all. Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear; Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen. And football's still the roughest thing on campus, And the kids they still respect the college dean. And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee, A place where even squares can have a ball. And we still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse, And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all. We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse, In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA. -

Police Guard Banks to Prevent Loan Sharks from Seizing 10,000 Baht Handout
In response to alarming reports of loan sharks preying on vulnerable individuals receiving a 10,000 baht government handout, police across the country have been deployed to guard banks. Starting from September 25, these measures have been particularly stringent in Maha Sarakham, where police teams have fortified security at the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) and other local bank branches. Pol. Col. Kraithong Chaisingh, head of the Maha Sarakham city police station, confirmed that officers were sent to maintain order at these locations, which have seen a surge in activity as farmers and individuals from “fragile” groups rush to withdraw their funds. Many recipients have been checking their accounts to see if the funds have been deposited, with some using ATMs while others queue up to withdraw cash from bank tellers. Authorities have instructed policemen to be on high alert for informal lenders trying to claim the cash from recipients at ATMs. Those feeling threatened by such individuals have been urged to immediately contact the police for assistance. Ms. Pusaya Tangthong, manager of the local BAAC branch, noted that the bank has been seeing large crowds daily. People are keen to update their passbooks and confirm the arrival of their 10,000 baht giveaway. Due to high demand, the bank has been issuing 200 queue tickets each day but faces challenges due to limited counters, reported Thai Newsroom. Adding to the delays, not all visitors are there solely to withdraw the grant. Several are applying for new passbooks or ATM cards, often because their existing ones are lost or their accounts have been inactive for over a year, necessitating the opening of new accounts. These processes are time-consuming, causing the bank's operating hours to extend significantly. Over the past three days, the branch has operated until 5 p.m. instead of the usual 3.30 p.m., with staff only leaving after 7.30 p.m. The enhanced police presence aims to ensure that the intended recipients of the government's handout receive their money safely and without falling victim to predatory lending practices.

Trump appeal against ridiculous fine looks like a winner
Absurd reply. Did you read the article? Did you note the Democrat judges casting serious doubts upon the case? -

Billy Eilish's "Birds of a Feather" - is it better than anything by the Beatles?
Ordinary? She takes the "love you till I die" and takes it literally...did you get the meaning of the words? I'm honestly struggling to find a Beatles song that compares to this, maybe "Yesterday"? -

Biden Criticizes Trump on ‘The View,’ Calling Him a 'Loser' with No 'Redeeming Value'
I'm not an American so can't comment of all of the problems of the Biden presidency. What i do know is that during Trumps spell in office he never failed to be in the news for his ridiculous statements and actions. He was considered by many outlets to be the laughing stock of the world again and again and again. In the UK we also had our fair share of idiots who would campaign, making outrageous statements, offering things that would destroy are economy if put in place but looked great for the populace. Luckily none of these campaigners ever got to be in office Trump just seems to tells people what they want to hear regardless of whether its possible or not and people believe him which is not a good sign for the average intellect of the American people.
