Did William Blair block an investigation into Egypt giving Trump a $10 million bribe?
Parrotting? "Two Trump campaign officials — Paul Manafort and Rick Gates — provided polling information to a Russian oligarch Gates believed was a “spy” for the Kremlin" "The report makes it clear that: 1) the Russian government tried to help Trump win; 2) the Trump campaign was eager to benefit from hackings targeting Democrats; and 3) Trump’s campaign advisers had a lot of troubling ties to Russia." https://www.vox.com/world/2019/4/19/18507580/mueller-report-trump-russia-obstruction-summary- 1

Springfield, Ohio man reported Haitian migrants snatching geese out of park 2 weeks ago
Good God, man. That proves it's even more widespread and been going on longer than we've been told? That's what the "fact checkers" would conclude if it was Trump letting in all the Haitians. -

Foreigner Steals Taxi While High on Cannabis, Crashes into Lamp Post
I like "taken to Pattaya Police Station to sober up" I'm sure he was given a few cups of black coffee and a nice comfortable lazy boy chair to help bring him back to normal and then left to return to his hotel🤔🤔🤣🤣 -

Palang Pracharath Party Denies AI-Generated Audio Clip Alleging Prawit's Ambition
In a swift rebuttal, the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) unequivocally denied the authenticity of an explosive audio clip aired on the popular programme Inside Thailand. The controversial recording supposedly features the party’s leader, General Prawit Wongsuwan, expressing his desire to lead the country. Party officials insist the clip is an AI-generated fake. The first of four clips shared on the programme contained a voice claiming to have served as deputy and worked closely with the prime minister, stating, "I’ve been a deputy and worked for the prime minister for a long time… now I want the people to give me a chance to be number 1." Another voice in the recording urged, "You should try to communicate with the people." PPRP spokesman, Police Lieutenant General Piya Tawichai, quickly addressed the scandal. After consulting General Prawit and deputy party leader Chaiwut Thaanakamanusorn, Piya confirmed that both men denied the voices were theirs. "We believe the clips were created using AI," he asserted, criticising the programme for not verifying the recordings' authenticity. Other clips featured conversations about party leadership conflicts, monetary distributions, and ministry appointments, allegedly within the Interior Ministry. The situation took a turn when Interior Ministry Permanent Secretary Suttiphong Julcharoen admitted his voice appeared in one clip, where he discussed dissolving a party while Prawit was responsible for security and the ministry. This incident follows another controversy involving General Prawit, where he reportedly slapped a reporter in a heated exchange. The News Broadcasting Council of Thailand (NBCT) and the Thai Broadcast Journalists Association have requested House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha to investigate Prawit’s actions. NBCT president Supan Rakchuea noted that video evidence shows Prawit visibly frustrated before resorting to physical aggression. As the drama unfolds, all eyes remain on how the PPRP will navigate these turbulent waters, particularly with the looming question of leadership ambition and the use of AI technology in political controversies.

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
Thanks for the enlightenment. As for the swastika, I remember being briefly shocked when I saw the covers of the collected works of Rudyard Kipling decorated with elephants and swastikas. As for Hitler's adoption of it... "The icon was chosen by the party to represent its goal of racial purification in Europe. Hitler and his Nazi Party believed that a line of pure Germanic ancestry originating in the Aryan race—a grouping used to describe Indo-European, Germanic, and Nordic peoples—was superior and that other, less-superior races should be ousted from Europe. Ancient Indian artifacts once owned by Aryan nomads were found to frequently feature the swastika, and the symbol was co-opted from its ambiguous historical context in the region to exert the dominance of so-called Aryan heritage." https://www.britannica.com/story/how-the-symbolism-of-the-swastika-was-ruined -

Springfield, Ohio man reported Haitian migrants snatching geese out of park 2 weeks ago
We did that one time for Thanksgiving. Big mistake, well, eating the goose. Nice for all the other geese, as it was an old 'bully' goose, and too dominating at the pond. But, emphasis on 'old'. Toughest old bird I've ever eaten ... no wonder I like munching on birds much younger ... 😁 -

Drunken 68 Year Old Man Climbs Phone Tower, 6 Year Old Granddaughter Talks Him Down
well, I understand where your coming from and I do have a heart, but if someone thinks climbing a tower to jump off will solve everything then he's a lost cause, because anyone with an once of sense will think how to solve their problem properly. He had zero once of sense. -

Taylor Swift…This Is Not A Spoof
Why? I doubt any of the women I had it off with in LOS had had less that that number of previous. Besides, if she is promiscuous, it means that there is a chance for any of us, though at my age about the best I could do is provide an appreciative audience while she took care of the biz. Besides, isn't that being hypocritcal? It's not like the old days where only men were allowed to do it with as many burds as possible, while good girls had to be married first. I just hope she made them all use a condom. -

Pattaya: Search For Culprit Who Muzzled 10 Dogs With Tape
How many of the strays are aggressive is not the point, they are vermin. They carry various diseases, some that can infect kids, are traffic hazzards as well as a noise problem. Some do attack people especially if they have rabies. It's also the sheer volume of strays. I have never heard of people here kicking, stabbing or beating stray dogs, I think you made that up. Unfortunately people are far more likely to feed the pests keeping them alive longer and being able to breed more of the same. Dogs can never be trusted they are sly crafty predators and all they are interested in is food. Looking after people comes before looking after mutts. Strange how people are not sentimental about the animals slaughtered for them to eat, it's always the doggies. -

Meanwhile, Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine doesn't seem to think ill of the Haitian community there. Per the Associated Press: "Gov. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, held a news conference Tuesday to address the influx of Haitian immigrants to Springfield. He said he will send state troopers to Springfield to help local law enforcement deal with traffic issues and is earmarking $2.5 million over two years to provide more primary health care to immigrant families. DeWine declined to address the [animal] allegations, deferring comment to local officials. But he repeatedly spoke in support of the people of Haiti, where his family has long operated a charity." https://apnews.com/article/haitian-immigrants-vance-trump-ohio-6e4a47c52b23ae2c802d216369512ca5 But, he's also rebuffed Trump's claims in a different news report: Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine pushes back on fake migrant story amplified by Trump: "The internet can be quite crazy" September 11, 2024 Washington — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, distanced himself from former President Donald Trump's false claim that Haitian immigrants in Springfield are eating people's pets. "This is something that came up on the internet, and the internet can be quite crazy sometimes," DeWine told CBS News' chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett on Wednesday. DeWine said he trusts city officials, who have said they have not received any credible reports of such conduct.
