Elderly Australian Caught Stealing Vitamin C in Chonburi
Crikey, poor old Bruce, he's made the AN news headlines twice in 10 hours. Is this issue really double newsworthy, stealing a pack of vitamins is hardly a hanging offence. Poor guy made a mistake, he's returned the vitamins without resisting, shaking, he's probably terrified, all the uniforms and media. I hope you guys don't kill him, give the guy a break for Gods sake -

Liz Cheney: Conservatives may need a new party
I've been waiting for something like this. They will either form a new party, or will have to ferret out the MAGA element: all GOP members will have to get DNA swabs of their lips in search of DNA from DT's hindquarters. If DT loses both the election and his buffoonery with the courts this year there may emerge a new MAGA without the orange facepaint, and IMO in such case he may leave the USA for a much better place, like Russia or Bellarus (*wink*). 'Furious' Trump is panicked as MAGA becomes monster he no longer controls: analyst Even though Liz C. is a champion for flushing this stuff down the tubes I dread her assent to the top of what the GOP will become. Her mother (who, reputedly, is just about as much of a sweetie as her father) writes books about patriotism and Christian faith. Be sure that if Liz is involved in forming this new party mama will have an influence. In the meantime IMO there is a pretty good chance that if DT gets inaugurated there will be a palace revolt, reducing DT to a figurehead, led by the same entity that is stuffing the pockets of SCOTUS and choosing the judges. Liz will be sent to a gulag. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
And how do you think what is needed to restore Ukraine to the Russian imperial zone? Of course, the direct conflict with the USA is absolutely needed. No other way to do it. That is the exact reason why Putin wants Biden or Harris for president. Because these people prefer the direct conflict (with the rebranded, blue and yellow colors on the US soldiers' military clothes to avoid responsibility) while Trump will most likely freeze it. -

Trump Aims to Block China’s Growing Influence on U.S. Farms and Food Supply
Former President Donald Trump is raising concerns over China's potential threat to American agriculture and the food supply, vowing to take action if he is reelected. During an event held at a family farm in rural Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, Trump plans to address these concerns with former New York Rep. Lee Zeldin and Richard Grenell, his former ambassador to Germany, joining him. The event, hosted by the Protecting America Initiative, highlights the increasing scrutiny over China’s investments in U.S. farmland and other critical industries. Trump has promised to ban Chinese nationals from buying U.S. farmland and gaining ownership of key industries such as telecommunications, energy, technology, and medical supplies if he returns to the White House. Zeldin, an advocate for the Protecting America Initiative, stated, “China’s Communist Party is threatening our food supply,” emphasizing how vulnerable American farms may be due to foreign ownership. He added, “President Trump understood this threat when he was in the White House." Zeldin noted that U.S. regulations regarding foreign-owned companies purchasing farmland remain too lenient, allowing for significant foreign investment without proper oversight. “China wants us to be dependent on the supply chain,” Zeldin remarked, underscoring the concern that China could manipulate American access to essential goods. The pandemic exposed the nation’s reliance on Chinese goods, especially when the country faced a shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 crisis. Much of the PPE supply was manufactured in China, leading to a critical shortage in the U.S. Some healthcare workers were forced to wear trash bags in hospitals due to the lack of available protective gear. Zeldin pointed out the tragic irony, stating that America had become dependent on masks from the country where the pandemic originated, which ultimately killed millions of people around the globe. Trump and the Republican Party have made addressing U.S. reliance on China a central focus of their platform, calling for "strategic independence from China." This includes revoking China’s Most Favored Nation status and phasing out imports of essential goods. Additionally, the platform advocates preventing China from acquiring U.S. real estate and key industries. “Republicans will revoke China’s Most Favored Nation status, phase out imports of essential goods, and stop China from buying American Real Estate and Industries,” the GOP platform states. Zeldin warned that China’s growing investments in U.S. assets could pose significant risks, especially in terms of espionage. Chinese companies operating in the U.S. are required to comply with Chinese government regulations that mandate sharing sensitive information. This could expose critical American data to the Chinese government, deepening concerns over national security. The concern over foreign influence is not new, but it continues to grow as incidents arise. Linda Sun, a former aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was recently charged with acting as an agent for the Chinese government, further heightening the sense of urgency to address the issue. Trump's return to the political stage has reignited debates about U.S.-China relations, particularly concerning safeguarding American sovereignty in critical sectors such as agriculture and technology. His proposals aim to diminish China’s growing influence and restore what he describes as America's "strategic independence." Based on a report from: NYP 2024-09-24 -

Murdoch Family Legal Battle Could Shape the Future of Fox News
In a courthouse in Reno, Nevada, a family feud with global ramifications is unfolding, as Rupert Murdoch, 93, seeks to ensure his eldest son, Lachlan Murdoch, succeeds him in running the vast media empire he built. At stake is control over one of the most influential news outlets in the world—Fox News—and its role in shaping political discourse, particularly in the United States. Rupert Murdoch is arguing in court that Lachlan, his conservative-leaning eldest son, should be given control over the family trust's voting rights. If he succeeds, the future direction of Fox News, a major force behind Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement, is unlikely to change. Murdoch's argument, as reported by his own Wall Street Journal, is that “shifting voting control of the trust to Lachlan should be allowed because it is in the best interest of all the beneficiaries, including his other children.” However, if Murdoch's legal maneuvering fails, his other children—James, Prudence, and Elizabeth—could wrest control of the trust and possibly change the conservative stance of Fox News. James Murdoch, in particular, has signaled a different political outlook than his father and brother. He hosted a fundraiser for Joe Biden in 2022 and has expressed support for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, suggesting that a shift in Fox News' editorial slant might be on the horizon if he gains influence. Such a change would be seismic in American politics. For the past two decades, Fox News has been a dominant voice in American conservatism, with both Republicans and Democrats recognizing its influence. Figures like Sean Hannity have become central figures in the MAGA movement, while former host Tucker Carlson, despite his exit from the network, still struggles to regain the prominence he once held within Fox’s massive audience. Lachlan Murdoch’s views align closely with his father’s, maintaining a right-wing stance. But the question is whether the family’s internal power struggle will allow Fox to stay on that path. Michael Wolff, a biographer of Rupert Murdoch, captured the tension between the Murdoch sons, writing that the late Fox News chair Roger Ailes once described Lachlan and James as "wannabe little kings." Wolff added, “I think they both really believe they were put on earth to show up their father.” The court case is about more than just politics, though. It hinges on corporate governance laws that allow families like the Murdochs to control companies through a dual-class stock structure, giving their shares more voting power than those of outside investors. This legal battle may shape not only the future of Fox News but also the broader media landscape in the U.S. and beyond. As this family drama plays out, the world is watching to see whether Rupert Murdoch will secure his legacy through Lachlan, or if James and his sisters will shift the direction of one of the world’s most powerful media outlets.
