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. -

Schengen Visa Question
Indeed, I never submitted any documents regarding my wife. Just stated in the sponsor letter that we would be travelling together and I would meet all costs involved. -

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. -

Schengen Visa Question
These days nearly all Schengen visas have to be done by VFS and if they accept the documents then the visa is virtually guaranteed. That being said I try as much as possible to use refundable options in travel arrangements, you never know what may arise and flexability can be a great asset. It is certainly not an issue in respect of the visa application. -

Last Time Refused Entry Retry Monday
so your friend stayed in Thailand from dec 2023 to june 2024? that should not result in a refusal of entry. What does his history of stays look like? I am guessing he has been in Thailand many times during several years staying for long stretches? Did he get warned before the denial? Usually the IO will tell you to get a visa, and if you still try your chances with an exempt after that... then thats on you. -

See it all the time with labels such as denier, racist etc. They want to defame the person rather than discuss the topic. -
