Here's what happens when the world's richest man buys the presidency
This is the SCANDAL... (see X link below). MAGA Team including Elon are solutions to problems created by democrats and their corrupt government. Haters want Trump and his team to fail it seems, rather than improve it. -

Is Trump Going Soft on China?
China isn't anyone's friend. They steal/stole technology, dump their overcapacity at below price costs on their trade partners, engage in a mercantile concept of trade dominance, and have made clear they want their political system to dominate worldwide. Maybe you prefer to live in China. I don't. Welding people inside their apartments, without food, access to medicine, and no ability to seek help during Covid is Xi's dream for the future. Not mine. -

Should I Tell My Friend That His Girlfriend Is Trans?
I understand how complicated this can feel. You want to protect your friend, but you also want to respect his girlfriend's privacy. Being trans is a deeply personal matter. It's not just a piece of random gossip. It's part of who she is, and sharing that information should be her choice. If you tell your friend before she does, you could be crossing a line. You might violate her trust and possibly hurt both of them in the process. I know there's a worry that your friend could feel betrayed if he learns the truth later. You might think you're sparing him from heartbreak or confusion by telling him now. But imagine how his girlfriend would feel if her identity was revealed without her consent. It's a sensitive topic, and she might be waiting for the right time or the right words to express herself. Maybe she's not sure how he'll react. Maybe she's building up courage. It's hard to know exactly what she's going through. I've seen a similar situation with my own circle of friends. One of my buddies found out his partner was trans later on, and he struggled with it at first. But she shared it with him on her own terms. She explained her journey, her fears, and her hopes for the relationship. He told me later that, despite the initial shock, he appreciated that she was honest when she was ready. He might have felt much worse if someone else had broken the news and taken away her chance to open up in her own way. If you feel like your friend should know, maybe you can talk to her gently. Encourage her to tell him when she feels safe and comfortable. Let her know that honesty is important for a healthy relationship. But don't push. Let her decide if and when to share. In the meantime, be supportive. If your friend comes to you later, be ready to listen. He might have questions or concerns. You can help them both by staying calm, respectful, and open-minded. In the end, it's about honoring the fact that this is her life. It's her story to tell. Your role, as a friend, is to respect her boundaries and be there for your friend if he needs you later. That way, you keep the trust intact on all sides. -

Short Time: Dream or Dilemma?
I'll be honest, when I first arrived in Thailand, I was curious about that part of the nightlife I'd heard so much about - the bars with bright neon signs, the go-go clubs, and the idea of "paying for companionship." I guess I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. My friends back home had painted all sorts of pictures in my head, some calling it a dream scenario, others warning it was a huge moral trap. The reality, at least for me, wasn't as flashy as the stories or as simple as choosing one label - dream or dilemma. I did end up paying for sex one night, mainly out of curiosity and a bit of peer pressure. The whole thing felt surreal: everything from picking a bar to negotiating a price to the awkwardness that followed. Part of me thought it was just another fun, exotic experience - like I was living some wild adventure story. But afterward, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was more complicated than I'd let myself believe. It wasn't just about me and what I wanted; there was another person involved, someone who might have a different view on what was happening or who might be dealing with tough circumstances leading them to that work in the first place. To this day, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. There's a part of me that thinks consenting adults should be free to make their own arrangements, but another part that wonders about the blurred lines - like exploitation, cultural differences, or the power imbalances that can come into play. The night itself wasn't the fantasy many folks back home talk about, nor was it some terrible mistake that ruined my entire trip. It was more like a wake-up call that behind all the flashy lights and promises, there are real people with real stories and real struggles. So for me, it's not exactly a dream or a nightmare. It's something that sits in a gray area I never really expected. I won't judge anyone who sees it differently, but if someone asked my advice, I'd tell them to think carefully about what they're really doing and why. Because once the novelty wears off, you might be left with more questions than answers about what it all means.
