Harris Lies, Americans Die. Illegal Aliens are more Important
Bummer ... as I think it's well established, that was BS and didn't exactly happen as LBJ reported to Congress. USA planned on a war in VN even before that, just needed to con the masses for approval. -

Trump to remove legal immigrants.
Illegals are more important than US citizens to Dems. Ripe for fraud. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2024/10/04/the-number-of-illegal-aliens-dumped-into-swing-states-is-jawdropping-n2645729 -

Corruption scandal hits the brakes: Thailand’s bus industry whistleblows dirty dealings
I find the use of the word 'shocking' hilarious - is anyone in Thailand even vaguely shocked to hear that a government agency is corrupt here? It is well known that people here do not get promoted to decision making positions because of their skill set. People get promoted by either buying the position or through nepotism. This is why the rules created are so unworkable - they are created by people who are simply not qualified for the job. Then the rest of us (lower ranking govt officals included) are left to work with an unworkable system. The only way anything gets done is by sidestepping unworkable rules. So either the country grinds to a halt due to impossible bureacracy, or govt officials bend / break rules. If they are going to bend / break rules to help someone get a license / permit / whatever then they are taking a risk, so naturally they will want paying for helping out. The culture of corruption flourishes in an environment perfectly suited to it's creation. Hiring decison makers based on their qualifications for the job would make a great start towards fixing the situation. Until the the systematic, deeply entrenched culture of buying positions and nepotism is address properly, I guess we will continue to be regularly 'shocked' by revelations of corruption, each time believing the fairytale of an isolated incident. -

Minister Pushes for Bangkok F1 Race Plan with 2024 Deadline
The Malaysian GP failed because there were not enough spectators, I believe . Only 47,000 whereas 147 ,000 are needed to make it cost effective. A purpose built track outside of Pattaya near the proposed 'Entertainment' area might be a possibility. But, sadly, I doubt it. -

Ho Chi Minh Multiple Entry Marriage Visa
Because I was asking about recent experiences, that's all, don't pick me apart. If for example someone had used an agent, or used another trick, to get a quicker turn around. -

V P Debate
Wow. Follow the science. LOL The new basic response to your posts: Considering you dont know the difference between men and women LOL..... I'm saying, and "science" and biology are saying, that all people cannot be "simply" divided up into two categories: male and female. Some are born with a physical (both external and internal), hormonal, and psychological mix of genders. You are saying, and many in our society are saying, there are just two categories, and everyone has to belong to only one of them. So, I ask you again, what do you think is or should be the specific test to define someone's gender? -

Trump to remove legal immigrants.
It's not just the money. FEMA has so many of its personnel and resources deployed for illegals, they can't muster a team to manage the Helene response. It's like the USSS, who have fallen down on their job because of mismanagement under the current administration. You can't fix that with more money. There has to be a paradigm shift. -

There ya go ladies and gentlemen, the true philosophy of the Left: If you cant beat them, kill them. Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler, the leftist pantheon, would be proud.
