Trump's Proposed Mortgage Ban for Undocumented Immigrants Sparks Debate
I assume you are calling them criminals due to their illegal immigration status? A rather narrow minded and simplistic view. There are dozens of reasons why people emigrate, and many illegals contribute to the US economy in a very positive manner. Substantial research has assessed the relationship between immigration and crime. Numerous studies show that immigration is not linked to higher levels of crime, but rather the opposite. Studies have also examined the impact of the concentration of immigrants in a community on crime patterns, finding that immigration is associated with lower crime rates and an increase in structural factors — such as social connection and economic opportunity — that are linked to neighborhood safety. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/debunking-myth-migrant-crime-wave?gad_source=1&ms=gad_illegal immigrant crime_700983500566_8628877148_163578260112 -

Moving international company
I recommend Pickfords becoz they delivered from Bristol UK to Darwin AU, where it changed companies to Grace removals, I offered the driver a tip as he placed the heavy boxes where I wanted them, he refused the tip saying no thanks that's my job. When I was a young kid we would go on holiday in the UK, normally to a B & B Mum, Dad, and us three kids, my dad never drove a car so it was by coach or train, he would pack a big trunk, and send it on to the B & B, it always arrived. Similar to this but it was dark blue. -

White House Condemns Tucker Carlson’s Interview with Holocaust Denier
Did I say that’s what he claimed? Here’s what he said: “In 1941, they [the NAZIS] launched a war where they were completely unprepared to deal with the millions and millions of prisoners of war, of local political prisoners,” “They [The NAZIS] went in with no plan for that and just threw these people into camps. And millions of people ended up dead there,” Statements that miss the fact the NAZIS absolutely did have a plan to murder the Jews, the Roma and the other victims of the Holocaust. Statements that miss the fact that the NAZIS did not capture Jews and Roma as ‘prisoners of war’ but systematically pursued them over months and years in the territories the NAZIS captured, rounding them up, not from battle fields but from cities, towns and villages across Europe and transporting them to the death camps. These are historical facts. And yet some choose to defend the filthy lies of a Nazi apologist and Holocaust denier. https://m.jpost.com/international/article-818792 -

Authorities Continue to Recover Wreckage and Remains from Small Plane Crash
Not code, at all, compensation was clearly mentioned... "the airline is working closely with the landowner to ensure proper compensation". "...the 'airline' ..." Why the inverted commas?... the owner of the plane is an airline. Compensation for what, exactly? Damage to some mud and mangroves? That would be covered by the aircraft owners public liability insurance. Compensation for bad juju caused by deaths on the site is what I'm talking about. But this is hardly Santika pub territory, ie prime plot of land that post-fire no-one would touch for development for years. The single quotation marks for 'airline' are to make clear that article describes the outfit as an 'airline' (ie quoting from the article) although it sadly now only has one other aircraft, another single-engine turboprop Caravan. Thus I choose not to describe it as an airline, since most people would, I suspect, consider an 'airline' to have more than one aircraft, regardless of the operation having an AOC. Not dissimilar to using quotation marks in a context such as "responding to AseanNow's 'favourite pedant' ..." -

Starlink Complies with Brazil's Court Order to Block X After Initial Defiance
That is what Musk would have you believe. His motivations are rarely altruistic. Regardless of Musk’s motivations, the political impact of his actions in Brazil has been immediate and explosive: Those worried about the “tyranny” of the judges (i.e., the Bolsonaro side), greeted his move as if he was saving the country from oppression. Those on the opposite aisle (i.e., the government) see an unacceptable attack on Brazil’s sovereignty and proof that social media needs to be heavily regulated. And one immediate upshot is that attempts to build a modern legal framework for tech platforms will continue to be postponed in a congress that now has another reason to disagree over a fiendishly complex topic. That’s why Musk was wrong to pick this fight: speaking lightly about a country he knows only superficially and attacking a judge whose surname he can’t even pronounce properly have all been a disservice to Brazil that will only amplify polarization and political discord. If Brazil is not for beginners, Brazilian politics is only for the truly gifted. (Incidentally, would Musk dare to bash a US Supreme Court judge using the same tone he used against Justice de Moraes knowing that he won’t be protected by being in a different jurisdiction?) https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-04-10/elon-musk-picked-the-wrong-fight-in-brazil -

North pattaya bus station transfer to hotel?
Soooooo, for about the price of a beer from 7 11 you'll use a taxi instead. I'd prefer the reason to be because the songtheaw drivers are rude, pack too many people into their vehicles, won't take you to the actual hotel ( leave you on the main road near the hotel ), take too long etc, but that's just me. I think the price was 100 baht about 5 years ago, but that could be just my bad memory. In the good old days it was 20 baht from bus station to the hotel. -

Donald Trump Interview | Lex Fridman Podcast #442
Its not difficult to understand. Democrats are hoping that american voters are stupid enough to vote for someone who doesnt state her policies. They are trying to win through cheating and deception as they did four years ago. Selling the lie -

White House Condemns Tucker Carlson’s Interview with Holocaust Denier
i think i have been quite clear and reasonable. to be labelled in an inflammatory way is supposed to be against the forum rules. it happens quite often actually. strange that.
