158 dems vote against bill to deport illegals, who commit sex crimes
However, as noted, the legislation that is the topic here has nothing to do with illegals entering the country-- only what to do with them AFTER they have been convicted of or confessed to the specified crimes. -

Israel Shifts Focus to Northern Front as Walkie-Talkie Bombs Signal New War Phase
Sooooo, let's forget about the hostages that they have not been able to liberate and let's forget about eliminating Hamas in Gaza, which they have been unable to do. Perhaps netanyahu was running out of excuses for prolonging the Gaza conflict and wanting to put off his day in court a while longer. -

Taylor Swift Shines in Poll, Surpassing Expectations Against Trump and Harris
You dismissed the poll as silly based upon your own assumptions. Please refer to the information at the bottom of the graphic; Based on ........polls of 2,437 VOTERS NATIONWIDE and 1,082 VOTERS in Pennsylvania............ I trust that you will agree that a voter must be at least 18 years of age. As such, dismissing the participants as not old enough to vote is not a reasonable position. -

What has changed on AN since being acquired by The Tiger ?
Seems to me they are far more attuned to potential defamatory content -- posts have been removed, topics locked, and entire topics removed if leaning in that direction. -

School Bus Overturns in Sisaket, 20 Students Injured
According to the photo, the busdriver could not see more than 50 meters before the curve. And if you know how they take right hand turns in Thailand could be an explanation why the busdriver ended up where he was. -

Homeless Woman Using Illegal Drugs Openly on Pattaya Street Raises Concerns Over City Image
Kind of interesting... Most "Westerners" aren't doing these things with "making merit" in mind. Whether Christian or not, the vast majority of Westerners are influenced by a Christian culture/moral/value system over many centuries. It would seem that Thais would be more likely (than apparent in this article) to want to help her out, with their very conscientious making of merit in mind. I definitely don't know the inner workings of their Buddhism... is it more important to go out of one's way to the temples, to make merit, to help build more edifices with shiny glass bits on them and help the Abbots get nicer cars than to help those who fate has brought along one's path, as if a test, and see how sincere one's merit making is by helping where one's help isn't likely to be seen by anyone? Maybe sincerity in merit making doesn't matter at all? I have no idea. I doubt the Abbots and other monks, enjoying their lives in the temples, care if the donations came with sincerity in mind or not.... It reminds me of an acquaintance who was head of a department at one of the top Thai universities (in BKK). He only cared about getting funded. He was a monk until his education was finished - through his PhD. Then he quit monkhood and used his newfound credentials to start a business as well as begin his teaching career. I guess monkhood can be a good scholarship program. That was a bit of a rabbit trail! Anyway... this is very curious to me - this image of Westerners trying to help her out, and the Thais apparently using her for sensationalism and complaining. To be fair, I'm sure there are Thais who care about her and would want to help, just as some Westerners did. But very strange how the reporting came out like this. -

Israel Shifts Focus to Northern Front as Walkie-Talkie Bombs Signal New War Phase
Another war in the M E- just what we didn't need. It'll keep the bomb makers in the US happy though- the profits just keep rolling in. They need another war if Ukraine ends. IMO the world is watching as the M E slowly catches fire, and after it's all over, the usual suspects ( that could have stopped it ) will be busily diverting attention elsewhere. IMO, the only question is if the US will send the army/ marines/ A F to join in the fun, or will they left the israelis go it alone. -
