Getting Old: Stoic About It or Endless Whinger?
Aging is something we can’t avoid, but how we deal with it varies wildly. Some keep moving forward, adapting, and continuing to enjoy life as always, while others seem to get stuck, endlessly complaining about every ache, pain, and limitation. For those aging in Thailand, the dynamic takes on an even more unique flavor. For many expats here, growing older doesn’t mean slowing down. You’ll find men in their 60s and beyond who still go out to the bars, chase the same things they did in their 30s, and dive headfirst into everything life has to offer. Whether it’s maintaining an active social life, exercising, meeting new people, or traveling, these folks refuse to let age dictate their pace. They embody that classic “mind over matter” approach, embracing the here and now and staying engaged with the world around them. On the flip side, there are those who seem to have hit a wall. Instead of adapting, they focus on what’s going wrong—the health problems, creaky knees, back pains, and chronic ailments. You’ll often hear them sitting around, talking about their blood pressure, cholesterol, wanting to lose weight and all the things that they feel they can’t do anymore. For them, life in Thailand has shifted from adventure to a growing list of limitations. But here’s the question: Is it just a mindset, or do circumstances play a role? Thailand offers unique advantages for aging expats—relatively affordable healthcare, easy access to good food, warm weather that’s easier on the joints, and a culture that generally respects elders. Yet, it’s not all roses. Some face visa headaches, financial challenges, or feelings of isolation as they grow older without family nearby. For those who’ve spent more than 20 years here, it’s worth asking: Was aging in Thailand part of the plan? Or did time simply pass faster than expected, leaving you as a senior citizen in Thailand? For some, staying here into old age feels like a natural extension of the life they’ve built. For others, the question of whether they’d be better off returning to their home country looms large. The truth is, everyone approaches aging differently. Some lean into the physical realities of getting older but refuse to let them define their lives. Others see those same realities as walls that block the way forward. Where do you stand? Are you still pushing forward with life, doing the same things you did in your younger years? Or have the physical aspects of aging shifted your focus, making you feel more limited than liberated? Stoic or whinger—what’s your approach? -

Trump and his followers.
It's interesting how those on the radical left keep wanting to make what's happening all about Trump. Trump is merely a figurehead in this fight. You can tell me all you want about how flawed he is. It makes absolutely zero difference, because this is not now, nor has it ever been, about Trump. This is about Trump being selected by the military to take back our country from the globalist criminal syndicate. If they made a poor choice in Trump, you'd never know it because it's still worked out OK. So you are wasting your breath droning on and on about how bad Trump is. You are completely ignoring the reason why Trump is popular. It isn't about him at all. it's about the criminals YOU support and collaborate with. And I guarantee you, if hundreds or thousands of Democrat and RINO politicians and bureaucrats don't wind up in Gitmo before this term is over, people will abandon Trump so fast it will make your head spin. Trump holds no sway over anyone. The message of hope that Trump brings to liberate America is all that matters. So go ahead. Keep pretending this is about Trump if it makes you feel good. Or, you can wake up, and realize this is a movement to take back America from foreign enemies who have infiltrated and conquered it. Either way, things are never going back to the way they were. We are going to have integrity in public office again. The USA is going to be a free and sovereign nation again. And you have Trump to thank for that, even if you personally hate the man. You're welcome. -

Trump wins on the Stormy case as sentencing delayed "indefinitely".
More truths of disinformation ,none of this has occurred , Stop with your nonsense! In general. The source, Sentence must be pronounced without unreasonable delay. 2. Court to fix time. Upon entering a conviction the court must: (a) Fix a date for pronouncing sentence; Ok i got the new york judge wrong he’s a new jersey constitutional expert teaching law in New york and other venues ! Im gonna believe the expert over a serial Trump hater any day!
