Neo-Nazi group helped fuel the unproven anti-Haitian animal claims that Trump later spread
A self-avowed member of the U.S. neo-Nazi group Blood Tribe delivers an anti-Haitian immigrants rant to the Springfield City Commission on August 27, two weeks before the presidential candidates debate where Donald Trump made anti-Haitian rhetoric national news. A hard-core U.S. neo-Nazi group called Blood Tribe was actively organizing in Springfield, Ohio and promoting anti-Haitian immigrant and unsubstantiated animal eating claims in the weeks before GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump and running mate J.D. Vance made national news by publicly promoting the same kinds of claims, according to news reports. Several news agencies have already documented the Blood Tribe group's August 10 march in downtown Springfield in which about a dozen masked members carrying banners with swastikas held what they dubbed an "anti-Haitian Immigration march." Then on August 27, two weeks before the U.S. presidential candidates debate where Trump publicly made the animal eating claims, a member of the Blood Tribe group who acknowledged leading that march told city commissioners during their public meeting that "crime and savagery will only increase with every Haitian you bring in." He did not, though, on that day mention animal killing or eating in his public remarks. However on Friday, NBC News expanded on that reporting, adding that the national Blood Tribe group began posting the anti-Haitian immigration and supposed animal eating claims relating to Springfield via several of its social media channels in August. And then in early September according to NBC News, about a week before the September 10 candidates debate, the group did another post "with multiple racial epithets" claiming Haitians "eat the ducks out of the city parks." There's no indication in the NBC News report or elsewhere that there was any direct contact between the Blood Tribe group and the Trump-Vance campaign. Rather, the NBC News report says "a few days" after the neo-Nazi group's early September post, a separate but popular right-wing social media account posted similar but broader claims that Haitians had killed and eaten a cat, that "ducks and pets are disappearing," and including a photo of a man carrying a goose that was later proven as unrelated to Springfield. According to NBC, that post since has been viewed millions of times, saying "from there, the rumors snowballed." During the debate, Trump made the following remarks: The day after Trump's unproven debate claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield and supposed animal eating, the NBC News report says the national head of the Blood Tribe group, identified as Christopher Pohlhaus, posted to one of his social media accounts taking credit for the debacle, saying Blood Tribe had "pushed Springfield into the public consciousness." According to the NBC News report, a member of the hate group agreed, posting in response "The president is talking about it now... This is what real power looks like." The NBC News report notes: "Trump's line at the debate was the culmination of a weekslong rumor mill that appears to have at least been amplified by Blood Tribe... As with most rumors, the beginning of the baseless claims about Haitians eating pets in Springfield is hard to pinpoint, but Blood Tribe undoubtedly helped spread it." Just how early the neo-Nazi group began organizing in Springfield has not been made clear in news reports, though NBC News said online rumors locally in Springfield began as early as late June. According to the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism, Blood Tribe is a growing neo-Nazi group that claims to have chapters across the United States and Canada. The center says, "In 2023, Blood Tribe has several dozen members and thousands of online followers." The center's profile of the group adds: "Blood Tribe presents itself as a hardcore white supremacist group and rejects white supremacists who call for softer “optics.” Blood Tribe members emphasize hyper-masculinity; the group does not allow female members. Blood Tribe sees themselves as both the last remaining bulwark against enemies of the white race and the only path to a white ethnostate." Apart from the group's recent anti Haitian immigrant activity in Springfield, the Center on Extremism's profile says Blood Tribe was active in 2023 counter-protesting against LGBTQ+ events with group members carrying rifles and swastika flags. During 2023, the group held public protests in at least seven U.S. cities including Madison, Hudson, and Watertown, Wisconsin; Toledo, Columbus, and Wadsworth, Ohio; and Altamonte, Florida, according to the center. The group's late August appearance at the Springfield City Commission meeting and its prior march in the city have been reported separately by the Internet culture news site Daily Dot, and the Haitian Times news site. The Daily Dot's Sept. 11 report is titled, "How a neo-Nazi helped kickstart the right-wing anti-Haitian migrant panic." In that report, the Daily Dot talks of the Blood Tribe member who warned the Springfield City Commission, calling him "self-identified as a member of Blood Tribe—the neo-Nazi group that helped lead a white nationalist march in downtown Nashville in early 2024 in which members spewed antisemitic and racist chants—and gave his name as “Nathaniel Higgers,” a coded pseudonym derivative of of a racial slur. The Blood Tribe member's public appearance was recorded on a publc Youtube video of the city commission meeting, and in a resulting X (Twitter) social media post. The news site Haitian Times has a separate Aug. 30 report titled: "White supremacist’s “warning” against Haitians in Ohio triggers fear and calls for action." That report begins with an Editor's Note update that says: "An earlier version of this story erroneously referred to the white supremacist group leader as Nathaniel Higgers, the name he provided at the meeting. Since publication, several sources have revealed that the speaker’s real name is Drake R. Berentz. They said the false name is a derivative of Nate Higgers, a racial slur." The Haitian Times report describes the group's Springfield march, saying: "During the Jazz and Blues Fest on Aug. 10, Blood Tribe members wore black pants, red jackets and black ski masks. The group brandished white supremacist paraphernalia, including a black flag emblazoned with a white swastika. Some Haitians said the group also shouted, ‘If you’re Black, go back to Africa’ during their demonstration."

Next US President Will Wear The Grandaddy of Hoover Curses
Because Harris has no backbone. No thoughts or knowledge about dealing with people who are clearly her superiors (like other world leaders). She is a patsy for the Democratic party only. She will make the USA demise happen a lot faster. Do nothing to slow the influx of illegals until it is too late. Raise taxes. Make the cost of living go even higher. Spend all the government funding intended for its citizens to help the illegals get more. She might be a good lawyer in presenting her opinions and laws to people afraid of going to prison. But she is surely not a President and only held the title as VP, never doing anything of substance and failing miserably when dealing with other leaders as well as her top position controlling the border illegal influx. Sad day for the USA if she wins. I will be flying a flag saying GOD HELP AMERICA after that. -

Trump: “There Will Be No Third Debate!”
If Trump's decision to not debate Kamala a second time stands, in my opinion, his chances of winning in November are slim to none. One of the most under-reported crippling injuries that Kamala inflicted on Trump during the first debate was her clear articulation of Trump's inability to come to grips with reality. Whether you're talking about his insistence that his 2016 inaugural crowd size was bigger than MLK's Freedom March speech, his continued insistence that he won the 2020 election, his claim that "he had nothing to do" with the January 6th assault on the Capitol, or countless other examples it's obvious that Trump has a less than firm grip on both reality and the truth. In Dosteyvesky's Brothers Karamazov, the dying Elder Zosima says that "the biggest danger about not telling the truth is not that no one will believe you, but that eventually you yourself will no longer be able to tell the difference between truth and untruth." I think that is exactly what is happening to Trump. Without engaging in slinging pop psychology labels around ("he's a malignant narcissist") Kamala effectively articulated in lay terms why Trump is psychologically and cognitively unfit to hold office again. And I really think this was a latent mortal injury for Trump. Trump knows the damage that was inflicted on him during the first debate, and likely is fully aware that the only way to undo the damage would be to successfully engage with her in a second debate. The problem is, having seen what she is capable of, he now knows that he would have a very hard time out-jousting her in a substantive debate over the issues. His only strategy would be to try to engage in bullying and name calling which will only entrench perceptions that he isn't fit for office. -

Foreign pickup driver flees after crashing into Thai woman in Phuket
Just because he hit her, doesn't mean it is his fault. From her description, it sounds like he was still in his lane, but she decided to filter/lane split into his lane before he had left it, as it looked like he was going to change lanes. If he then decided not to change lanes, and returned to the centre of his lane, while she was in a spot in his lane that he could not see, then it's surely her fault for being in his lane. Filtering and sharing lanes with cars is very dangerous. -

Visa Overstay Leads to Arrest of Maldivian East Coast Gang
So immigration just happened to be at this condo. And saw this foreigner acting suspiciously? I'm sorry but what is suspicious behavior in a condo where he was just hanging out and living? Sounds more like someone tipped immigration and the man began to act suspicious when immigration began walking his way. Other than the threat to be stopped. why would the man act suspicious and immigration be called to check?- 1

Western Union better than “Wise”
A few questions to those experiencing delays beyond 24 hours, assuming no home country or Thailand bank holidays/weekends. 1. Do you have a Wise THB account and also a Wise account in your domestic Currency? Let's say USD. 2. Do you routinely hold a balance in your Wise USD account - say at least the amount you would want to convert to THB for a month or more? 3. Do you regularly convert from your Wise USD account to your Wise THB account as and when you desire, depending on exchange rate on the day, building up a balance that suits your requirements or risk profile? 4. Do you occasionally flip THB from your Wise account back into your Wise USD account because the THB/USD rate moved in your favor and you can make a few bucks? 5. Finally, when remitting THB to your Thai domestic bank account, do you remit THB from your Wise THB account? i.e. you are remitting THB you already have in your Wise THB account. This is my general practise, and I have no problems other than a few minor delays because of weekends, public holidays in either Thailand or the UK. I think many users don't hold the Wise accounts I refer to, and pay Wise from their domestic bank for every remittance they do. Holding the THB in a Wise THB account means the final leg to your Thai bank account is an in-country transaction, meaning Wise have already received payment and they are remitting cleared funds to you. I suspect most delays are usually caused by your home country bank/clearing system, or Wise' requirement to meet your countries money laundering rules. -

Western Union better than “Wise”
The advantage of rise was the exchange rate and 100% rapid transfer of funds. Seems to be a bit 'hit and miss' recently
