After the deluge, the lies: Misinformation and hoaxes hinder Helene recovery
False claims about FEMA disaster funds and migrants pushed by Trump There is no evidence that disaster relief funds were used on immigrants in the U.S. illegally. FEMA disaster money comes from dedicated funds that cannot be used for other purposes. Oct. 5, 2024 False claims that federal emergency disaster money was given to migrants in the U.S. illegally have spread quickly in recent days, boosted by former President Donald Trump and some of his most high-profile supporters. Trump repeated one of the more extreme baseless allegations during a rally Thursday in Saginaw, Michigan, saying that the money had been stolen. Efforts to clarify the funding have done little to stymie a battery of claims about FEMA and migrants that have spanned from misleading and lacking context to entirely false. Some, like Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, falsely claimed on X that FEMA had used disaster funds to house migrants and that the government had “abandoned” hard hit areas. X owner Elon Musk, among Trump’s most vocal backers, reposted Jordan’s false claim and a variety of others about FEMA.'

Do you have a favorite "Old Man" song?: With all this aging going on...Will we survive?
Dear Folks, Having just been notified that I may soon need a dental implant, or two, I realize that I am no longer the young man I once was. And then, I got to thinking... What is my favorite Old Man novel, and my most revered Old Man song..... I guess, it's hard to top The Old Man and the Sea, even though so many critics of the time POO POO'd it.... (meaning they pooh-poohed it)...... Maybe you also might think of that very OLD Italian MAN in the book Catch-22. There are just too many good OLD MAN and OLD MEN books floating around, and it's impossible to think of just one. However......Concerning one of the best OLD MAN/OLD MEN songs of the past 100 years, then I can't think of another, off hand, that might come close to this..... But maybe you can, and I am sure you might, think of something that can top Neil Young's.... Neil Young is older now, but he is not writing songs any better than he once did. Maybe his music is such that, when we hear it, we can still recall almost exactly where we were when we first heard some of his tunes..... Personally, I associate the Harvest Moon album with Martha's Vineyard, and Honda motorcycles, and wealthy girls with huge houses in Princeton, NJ. There used to be a community of HIPPIES living in tents in the backwoods somewhere off the beaten track on Martha's Vineyard. They lived in a veritable dump, but seemed pleased with their way of life, at least during summer months. Things change, and when we look back we wonder how we might have done some things we once did, or thought what we thought. And I wonder how much longer we can hold out here, too, now that we are aging fast, and now that some of us seem to be in the final throws of our glory. Whom among us will take up the cudgel and keyboard when we are tool old to type, as we just.... Fade away, like the Old Keyboard Warriors MacArthur almost wept over, who will never really die..... Just continue fading.... And fading..... Bit by bit...... By bit. So, how many Old Man or Old Men songs do you know that are better than this one by Neil? Just wondering. Best regards, Gamma Note4: But... there are younger men, joining these days, who will one day...in fact....sing about us Old Men, and sing our praises, just as younger singers may sing about Neil Young, these days.... We will be remembered. Don't you worry about that.... Though we may, gradually, become toothless.... Figuratively speaking, of course. -

After the deluge, the lies: Misinformation and hoaxes hinder Helene recovery
Trump makes false claims about federal response as he campaigns in area ravaged by Hurricane Helene October 1, 2024 VALDOSTA, Ga. (AP) — Donald Trump repeatedly spread falsehoods Monday about the federal response to Hurricane Helene despite claiming not to be politicizing the disaster as he toured hard-hit areas in south Georgia. The former president and Republican nominee claimed upon landing in Valdosta that President Joe Biden was “sleeping” and not responding to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, who he said was “calling the president and hasn’t been able to get him.” He repeated the claim at an event with reporters after being told Kemp said he had spoken to Biden. ... The White House previously announced that Biden spoke by phone Sunday night with Kemp and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, as well as Scott Matheson, mayor of Valdosta, Georgia, and Florida Emergency Management Director John Louk. Kemp confirmed Monday morning that he spoke to Biden the night before.

Single Re-entry Permit Issued at Phuket Airport
Is it at the same office where we do our visa extensions once a year, or is the office up the stairs where we get things like a proof of residency certificate, etc? -

He does not look Thai to me at all. Maybe he was adopted? Or just changed his name to pretend he is a local. -

BTS senior card phone Q
I recall asking BTS for senior card for my 72yrs old mother in 2014 and told "cannot". We never tried the MRT. Clear discrimination. I accept that as Thailand makes it's own rules. Doesn't mean it's correct. Hopefully, one day they will treat everyone same. -

After the deluge, the lies: Misinformation and hoaxes hinder Helene recovery
The facts emerging from Hurricane Helene's destruction are heartrending: Businesses and homes destroyed, whole communities nearly wiped out, hundreds of lives lost, hundreds of people missing. Yet this devastation and despair are not enough for the extremist groups, disinformation agents, hucksters and politicians who are exploiting the disaster to spread false claims and conspiracy theories about it and the government's response. Former President Trump falsely claims the federal government is intentionally withholding aid to Republican disaster victims. Far-right extremist groups falsely warn on social media that officials plan to bulldoze affected communities and seize the land. A tale straight from science fiction asserts that Washington used weather control technology to steer Helene toward Republican voters in order to tilt the presidential election.
