What does Trump do now? Agree to another debate and get spanked again? Or decline to participate in another debate and appear even weaker than he does today? My guess is that he'll whine about the "rigged" debate, but not do another one. -

‘Demon Loan Sharks’ busted: Ruthless gang exposed in Chon Buri
In a dramatic police swoop, two members of the infamous Demon Loan Shark Gang were arrested after expanding their illegal loan operation into Chon Buri. The duo, identified as 35 year old Yutthaphum and 25 year old Kiatthaphum, were nabbed in a quiet housing estate where their shady business was thriving. Acting on intelligence, police raided the single-story house, uncovering a treasure trove of evidence, including thousands of illegal loan business cards, bank records, mobile phones, helmets, and four motorcycles believed to be linked to the gang’s predatory operations. During interrogation, Yutthaphum confessed that they had been running the illegal scheme for four to five months, renting the house for 8,000 baht per month. He revealed their primary targets were small business owners in Bo Win, Laem Chabang, and Pattaya. “We offered loans with daily, weekly, and monthly repayment options.” Yutthaphum added that no outside financiers were involved. He claimed they had lent out less than 100,000 baht. However, investigators discovered the gang was charging outrageous interest rates, as high as 20% per day, a figure that dwarfs legal limits. The suspects are now facing serious charges, including operating an unlicenced loan business and charging illegal interest rates. Both men were taken to Bo Win Police Station for further questioning, while police worked to track down other members of this predatory network, reported Pattaya Mail. The investigation is ongoing.

Thai woman seeks justice after husband’s murder ruled accident
A Thai woman in Chon Buri is seeking justice for her husband who she claimed was murdered last month despite the police concluding the case as a fatal accident. The 28 year old water vending machine technician, Nattaphon Chantaphum, died on August 24 following a suspicious incident on the night of August 23 when a female customer hired him to repair a water vending machine. Three people present at the scene told officers from Nong Prue Police Station that Nattaphon attempted to steal money from the vending machine. He was caught and attempted to escape in a pickup truck driven by his friend. The three men explained that they dragged Nattaphon out of the pickup, causing him to fall and hit his head on the concrete road below, ultimately leading to his death. These three men were charged with attempted murder and were later granted bail. Police concluded that Nattaphon died in a fatal car accident after committing the vending machine theft and engaging in a physical altercation with the machine’s owners. The deceased’s wife, Chutikarn, does not believe the suspects’ account. She is confident that her husband did not commit the theft and believes that the three suspects fatally assaulted Nattaphon. Chutikarn has decided to seek justice from the Crime Suppression Division (CSD) in Bangkok after local police ignored the case. Chutikarn visited the CSD office yesterday, September 10, to submit a complaint along with all the evidence she had. She also gave interviews to several news agencies about the incident. Key witness Chutikarn explained that Nattaphon had previously worked as a technician for a man who she claimed was powerful in the area. The man owned many water vending machines in Chon Buri. Nattaphon later quit and started his own water vending machine company. Chutikarn believes that Nattaphon’s former employer was displeased with his new business venture and hired the three suspects to kill Nattaphon. She added that she has CCTV footage and a voice recording file of the suspects reporting the successful operation to someone on the phone after Nattaphon’s death. Chutikarn brought her husband’s friend, named A, with her that day. She stated that this friend had gone to the crime scene with Nattaphon and confirmed that he had indeed been fatally assaulted. A told the media that a female customer had called him and Nattaphon to repair the vending machine outside her home. He believes that this woman tricked Nattaphon into meeting the attackers, as the suspects approached and attacked him immediately after their arrival. A admitted that he was scared and did not dare to help Nattaphon, so he drove the pickup away from the scene. Nattaphon did not try to get into the pickup as the suspects claimed. The last thing A saw before leaving was Nattaphon lying on the ground. Chutikarn added that one of the suspects contacted her brother, taunting him, and telling him to claim the insurance compensation. “He [Nattaphon] is already dead. There’s nothing to be done about a dead man. Just admit that he fell from the pickup and died, so you can claim compensation from the car insurance company.” CSD officers questioned Chutikarn and A about the case in detail and planned to follow up with Nong Prue Police Station.

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
Notwithstanding the fact that I think that utter nonsense - do you really believe Jews would have been allowed to live freely in the UK? Their experience in Vichy France suggests otherwise - you do realise that by signing a peace accord with Hitler, the UK would have been tacitly supporting Nazism? You think that would have been morally correct? -
