Why isnt Trumps approval rating 80%?
Ranting... There is no doubt that he is using the presidency to enrich himself. He did it before and he'll do it again. Dodgy coins anyone? There's what you see on the surface and then there is what you don't see quite so easily. The private deals. Donations in kind. Kickbacks. Even if it were right in front of your face, you would gloss over it, such is your blind hatred. -

Crime Drunken Foreign Tourists Assault Thai Woman, Locals Step In with Brutal Response
these women are cash cows for the tourism industry. that's one reason they may react so strongly. just a hunch. I think thats overthinking the 'intelligence' of those dishing out the beating... Evenkeel is right, these guys don't care at all about the woman in question... They are 'trigger-finger-locals' looking for an excuse... What we are seeing the tail end snippet of an 'incident' from a social media post and 'told' what happened by the original social media poster. One of the major issues Social Media Posts (original source not the AN report) is the influence of sensationalism. Opinions are drawn from short, highly selective or incomplete video snippets posted on social media – such clips designed to provoke, outrage, or mislead. They typically present the worst angle of an event, often from an extremely biased perspective, and rarely provide the full context. So - what was the full context ??? I'm not condoning the men hitting a woman (any woman), but, why is there never any 'lead up' in these social media stories to give us context... i.e did the woman slap the men a few times until they had enough and slapped her back etc ? - (I'm not suggesting this is what happened - just that there is more to the story that could offer an explanation as to how and why things escalated)... Or, did the woman simply say something the men took offence to so the 'animals' slapped her for hardly any reason at all ?? Was there a padded or contested bill and the woman become argumentative and physical ? I've seen guys in similar situations - one guy paid up and left a bar - the other guy was handed the bill for both of them - he contested the bill and things got heated, girls shrieking and arguing with him, pushing him, while he remained calm - he took out his phone and showed the QR payment receipt of the of the other guy - the cashier accepted this 'accidental' double charge - but a few of the girls were already angry by that stage and looking for a problem with the guy !!... the guy did well to completely decompress a situation and stay chilled - others would have become a social media story... -

Economics Thailand Considers Importing Up to 5 Million Tonnes of LNG Annually from Alaska
What LNG supply "emerging" from Alaska? Trump administration is convinced massive Alaska energy project will find investors despite steep cost Alaska LNG has languished on the drawing board for years due its stratospheric price tag. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum say they are confident the project will find investors. Energy analysts, however, are skeptical of the project. Alaska LNG "doesn't have a clear cut commercial logic," Alex Munton, director of global gas and LNG research at Rapidan Energy, told CNBC in April. "If it did, it would have had a lot more support than it has thus far, and this project has been on the planning board for literally decades," Munton said. If they find investors, they can maybe get the project started, and build an 807-mile pipeline through the wilderness. The projected time-frame is the early 2030's to get LNG to the Alaska market, and begin delivery to Asian markets a few years after that. Assuming the current regime isn't replaced by democrats who may cancel the project, or assuming cost overruns don't blow the budget, or assuming environmental impacts don't delay the project. It's more likely California will get their high-speed rail to nowhere running before Trumps latest whackadoodle announcement comes to fruityition. -

Longest you ever done non stop
Well done. I stopped smoking in 1975 after returning from a holiday on Malta where I picked up a lung infection. My doctor told me if I wanted to get well stop smoking. I did and now 50 years later at 81 years not one cigarette!- 1
