Down under or Thai? Aussie mum trades Oz for Land of Smiles
Yes, there’s a massive risk in “buying” immovable assets in countries where you don’t have blood citizenship, Rule of Law, endemic corruption , dodgy credit rating etc etc. Your visa is the ONLY thing that lets you be here…..and they can revoke that on a whim if they choose. If they’ve got $1.2 mill to spend , they could easily put that into a S&P 500 index fund returning a good income to live very well anywhere in SE Asia while keeping your powder dry in safe havens. -

Thai visa shake-up: Southeast Asia consulates switch to e-visa only
I am 67. First visit to Pattaya was in 2004. I loved the internet cafes. Very convenient. I don't do much online and it was all and still would be all I need. I almost bought an internet cafe. Boy that would have been sunk money. So hard to keep up with Windows software, would have had to replace computers with each windows or mac OS versions. I still think they have a place. Yes my MOTO smart phone has internet access and I can do much with it, the screen is still pretty small. Can't open multiple windows and view them easily. Got to connect to printers as necessary and if even possible depending on the local printer setup. A computer in a shop would already be setup with a printer. Security and private information going out on the cafe computer would probably be the bigger concern. -

Michael Moore Predicts Trump’s Political Demise in 2024, but Warns Against Complacency
Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, who famously predicted Donald Trump's surprise victory in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, now claims that Trump’s chances of a comeback in 2024 are bleak. Moore asserts that the majority of Americans are ready for a change, suggesting Trump’s political career may be nearing its end. In a recent Substack essay, Moore wrote, “The vast majority of the country, the normal people, have seen enough and want the clown car to disappear into the MAGA vortex somewhere between reality and Orlando.” Moore, who is known for his politically charged documentaries like *Fahrenheit 9/11* and *Fahrenheit 11/9*, expressed confidence that Vice President Kamala Harris would secure a narrow victory in the upcoming election. Moore believes that Harris is poised to win the Electoral College by a narrow margin of 270 to 268, capturing key battleground states such as Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire. “The swift and explosive momentum for Kamala Harris is unlike anything that’s been seen in decades,” Moore stated in his essay, suggesting that her appeal is growing as the campaign season heats up. His projection, he explained, is based on “an aggregate of top polls” and his own observations from interacting with everyday Americans. He referred to moments of shared experience, saying his conclusions come from “simply being around my fellow Americans who are shopping at Costco, having fun making TikToks and eating once a week at Chili’s.” However, Moore tempered his optimism by acknowledging that Trump has defied expectations before. “We do know that Trump has a stellar streak of pulling off the impossible — and those who have written him off have more than once lived to see the day where they must eat humble pie,” Moore cautioned. “It is never wise to do a victory dance on the two-yard line when Trump is your opponent.” Polls indicate a tight race, with Harris holding a slim lead over Trump. According to *The Independent’s* poll tracker, Harris is ahead by around three percent. However, many political experts remain cautious about making definitive Electoral College predictions due to the unpredictability of swing states. While Harris maintains an advantage in many battleground states, Trump continues to perform well on key issues like the economy and immigration, which could sway voters. Moore believes that one crucial factor for a Harris victory will be mobilizing nonvoters. He stressed the importance of getting those who sat out the last presidential election to participate this time. “The nonvoters are the second largest political ‘party’ in the U.S.!” Moore noted on his blog. “All we need is just a few thousand of them to show up — just this once — to make a difference.” While Moore sees Trump’s path to victory as dwindling, he remains cautious, knowing how unpredictable elections can be. In his view, Harris has the upper hand, but the final outcome will depend on voter turnout and how both campaigns address key issues in the coming months.

Georgia Supreme Court Reinstates Six-Week Abortion Ban Amid Ongoing Legal Battle
The Georgia Supreme Court has reinstated the state’s six-week abortion ban, reversing a recent lower court decision that had temporarily allowed wider access to the procedure. This ruling, which went into effect at 5 p.m. on Monday, once again makes most abortions in Georgia illegal after six weeks of pregnancy. The state’s abortion law, known as the LIFE Act, was signed by Republican Governor Brian Kemp in 2019 but only took effect in July 2022 after facing legal challenges. The law bans abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks into pregnancy, a time before many women are even aware they are pregnant. Exceptions to the ban exist, allowing for abortion in cases that protect the woman’s life and health or when fetal anomalies are detected. The Georgia Supreme Court’s decision came as it reviews the state’s appeal of a lower court ruling that had struck down the six-week ban. Last week, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney had ruled against the ban, effectively legalizing abortion in Georgia up to 22 weeks of pregnancy. In his ruling, McBurney emphasized the importance of a woman’s right to control her own body. “Liberty in Georgia includes in its meaning, in its protections, and in its bundle of rights the power of a woman to control her own body, to decide what happens to it and in it, and to reject state interference with her healthcare choices,” he wrote. He added, however, that the right to abortion is not unlimited and can be restricted when a fetus reaches viability. While reinstating the six-week ban, the Georgia Supreme Court left in place a separate part of the lower court’s ruling, which had blocked a provision giving state prosecutors broad access to the medical records of abortion patients without due process protections. The court’s decision has heightened uncertainty over abortion access in Georgia, a key battleground state where the issue remains at the forefront of political discourse. Vice President Kamala Harris has drawn attention to the devastating consequences of the state’s abortion restrictions, highlighting the cases of Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller, two Black women who died in 2022 after complications from taking abortion pills. ProPublica reported that both women’s deaths were preventable. Miller, who had multiple health issues, was reportedly too afraid to seek medical care due to the abortion law, while Thurman remained in the hospital for 20 hours before doctors decided they could legally operate on her. Reproductive rights advocates have criticized the reinstatement of the ban, calling it a dangerous setback for women’s healthcare in Georgia. “It is cruel that our patients’ ability to access the reproductive health care they need has been taken away yet again," said Kwajelyn Jackson, Executive Director of the Feminist Women’s Health Center. She added, "This ban has wreaked havoc on Georgians’ lives, and our patients deserve better." Jaylen Black, spokesperson for Planned Parenthood Southeast, described the ruling as "an egregious example of how far anti-abortion lawmakers and judges will go to strip Georgians of their fundamental rights," pointing to the tragic, preventable deaths of Thurman and Miller. As the legal battle over abortion continues in Georgia, the court's ruling raises serious questions about the future of reproductive rights in the state, leaving many women and healthcare providers in a state of uncertainty.
