Allan Lichtman, the Nostradamus of U.S. presidential predictions has made his FINAL pick
What an awful shame for the human race if he turns out to be right. Most of her rabidly anti-Trump-inspired supporters will end up disappointed when they find out they were nothing more than disposaable brown-shirt useful idiots when the last "president" of the USA assumes office. Say goodbye to private property. Say goodbye to education. Say goodbye to religious freedom (if Christian). Say goodbye to free speech. Say goodbye to the ability to defend yourself. Say goodbye to equal protection under the law especially if you are white. And much much more. In addition, say hello to a shopping cart full of abominations and irrationality. Unfortunately, the Bible says these things have to happen, and it certainly looks like it is all going to get going in earnest. As a final kicker, I found this list of current taxes. They will only want more and more and more of this going forward because supporting armies of third world thugs in UN uniforms to enforce the new rules will be expensive.- 1

Kamala Harris’ Contradictions: A Campaign Without Conviction
"This behavior underscores a cynical strategy that only someone as unrestrained as Harris could pursue—shifting styles and messages to fit the crowd, often without consistency or sincerity." Which of the two candidates would best fit the adjective "unrestrained"? Of the two, whom would you say has a tendency to speak "without consistency or sincerity"? Sincerity means without lying for those who are so numbed by the last decade of drivel that you've lost all understanding of meaning. Cynical? Unlike the optimistic and hopeful campaign of Trump/Vance? Bit of a poor effort, shows how desperate Murdoch's becoming.- 1

Indian tourists arrested in Pattaya for stealing camera battery
The owner phones the cop shop; the cop shop phones the tourist police; they view the video; the thieves are sauntering along further up the road. Elementary my dear Watson. -

Thai girlfriend working in a bar
Believe her when she claims to be the cashier. ALL bar girls only handle money and drinks. It's the Thai version of the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause -

Tim Walz: The Unexpected Strength Behind Harris’s VP Pick
boring. why don't you tell me more of what i think now. willing to bet i am younger and healthier than you are mister. ps...also i am not a centrist either. as i have repeated over and over ad nauseum on here. i think they are all scum. politicians are just those who were too ugly for hollywood. but don't let that stop you from pushing your own narrative on me. you wonder why people have such disdain for the extreme left. liberals most people can get along with. but the extreme left. smh. -

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
And I do agree with him that it would be better to keep most of one's USD in the US earning a lot more interest than in a Thai bank (in USD). "most" is the operative word here. My point is I prefer not to keep all of my USD in a US bank. I want some money in Thailand, immediately available - and I do not want to keep my 'immediately available' money all in Thai baht. When I was a type-OA and later type-O visa, I had requirements to maintain the equivalent of 800k THB (or greater) in a Thai bank. That did not need to be in Thai baht. If one has a certain amount of money in some Thai banks (and it need not be in Thai baht) one gets certain perks, such as priority at the bank when one shows up, access to a VIP sitting area at the bank, a limited # of airline lounge access for free, health club access for free and some other perks. If that money was in the USA, those perks would not be provided. And in the mean time that money, in Thailand, can be converted to Thai baht in minutes, and not in days. Again, its not all one's USD (as most is OUTSIDE of Thailand), but it is USD in a Thai bank. Having in USD helps ensure only a restricted amount of one's assets is in Thai baht. Going back again - to the original question - why do some want a USD account in Thailand? I think I answered that question why some do. Clearly not everyone agrees, and clearly this is NOT the approach for many, and that is perfectly fine, we all have our own way of doing things.
