Vance Labels Harris as a Major Threat to Religious Liberty
Project 2025 requires making abortion pills illegal, which the Supreme Court has already vetoed, their extreme abortion position is nothing like Trump's actual abortion policy. Trump couldn't even implement their abortion ideas if he wanted to, unless the Reps win Senate and Congress. Harris knows this very well. -

Vance Labels Harris as a Major Threat to Religious Liberty
One of the first acts of Joe Biden was to make face masks mandatory, look it up. Trump never mandated any lockdown, the stay at home orders were made at state, city and county level. Only a handful of states did it. However, if Harris would get in, she would be far more extreme with masks and lockdowns than Trump. She is already being pressured by Covid nuts who claim Biden did too lilttle and Harris has to do more. -

Thai Baht's Strength Poses Economic Challenges: Economists Warn
The Thai Baht is experiencing considerable strength against the US dollar, but this financial trend is causing concern among Thai economists and exporters. Despite some benefits, the overall impact on Thailand's economy appears to be negative. Dr. Naris Sathapholdeja, head of Data and Analytics at TMB Thanachart Bank, points out that a stronger baht makes Thai exports and tourism more costly. While it reduces the cost of importing oil—estimated at 1.5 trillion baht annually—this saving is overshadowed by potential losses in tourism revenue and export earnings, which collectively exceed 3.6 trillion baht per year. Naris forecasts the baht could strengthen to below 32 per USD, prompting exporters and tourism operators to urge government intervention. Dr. Amornthep Chawla of CIMB Thai Bank attributes the baht's rise to a weaker US dollar and inflows of capital into emerging markets. He highlights that the Bank of Thailand's decision not to cut the base rate is drawing investments into the Thai bond market, further bolstering the baht. Increased confidence in Thailand's economic policies and its status as a gold trading hub also contribute to the currency's appreciation. Kanchana Chokpaisarnsilp from Kasikorn Research Centre expects short-term fluctuations in the baht, ranging between 32.50 and 32.10 per USD. This financial climate is hitting Thai rice exports hard. Chukiat Opaswongse of the Thai Rice Exporters Association reveals a significant slowdown, with exports likely to reach only 8.5 million tonnes this year, down from earlier projections. Rivals such as India and Vietnam, with weaker currencies, are poised to benefit at Thailand's expense. The pressure is on as the economic effects of a strong baht ripple across Thailand, prompting calls for strategic financial measures to mitigate adverse impacts.

Trump Too Scared To Debate Harris Again
No, "they" (meaning the majority of Americans) just want him to go away because he's an idiot, he's a corrupt grifter, and he has no clue what it takes to be a public servant. In another post you said that "reading is important" -- I couldn't agree more, but so is being judicious about what one reads and what one trusts, and apparently you're lacking in that regard. -

You can now apply for an online driving licence in Thailand. Here's how to do
Here are all the steps that you need to follow to get an online driving licence in Thailand. Most of the process occurs at the Department of Land Transport (DLT), but you can get a head start online using the DLT Smart Queue app. Here’s a complete guide to help you through the process, ensuring it’s as smooth as possible. Step 1: Using the DLT Smart Queue App The DLT Smart Queue app is a helpful tool created by the Department of Land Transport to streamline the appointment process. Instead of waiting in long lines, you can book your time slot ahead of your visit. Here's how to use it: Download the app from the App Store or Google Play. Register by entering your personal details and creating a password. Select your preferred DLT office location. Choose "Licence" as the service type, and specify your vehicle type and licence type. Pick an available date and time for your appointment. Confirm the booking and save the QR code, which you’ll need on the day of your visit. While the app saves time by prioritising people with appointments, be aware that some users have reported difficulties logging in. It could benefit from additional features like fingerprint or face recognition for ease of use. Step 2: Gather the Required Documents Before heading to the Department of Land Transport, make sure you have all your documents ready. For foreigners, the required documents are as follows: A valid passport with at least 6 months of remaining validity. A non-immigrant visa valid for at least 3 months. Your TM6 departure card. Proof of address (can be a letter from immigration or your work permit). A medical certificate from a licensed doctor (valid for one month). Your home country driving licence or an international driving licence (translated into Thai or English if not in English). Two 2-inch photos taken within the last 6 months. Make photocopies of all your documents, sign them, and check with your local DLT office for any recent changes before you visit. Step 3: Physical and Theoretical Tests Once at the DLT office, you’ll undergo both physical and theoretical tests. The physical tests will check for colour blindness, reflexes, and depth perception. You’ll also take a practical driving test, either using a simulator or a real vehicle depending on the office. After passing the physical test, you’ll need to attend a 5-hour training course (or 1 hour for a motorcycle licence), covering Thai traffic rules and road safety. Finally, you’ll take a theory test, consisting of 50 multiple-choice questions. To pass, you’ll need to score at least 90% (45 correct answers), while motorcycle applicants require a 75% pass rate. If you fail, you have up to 90 days to retake the exam. Full article written by The Thaiger: Applying for an online Thai driving licence -

Only someone with learning difficulties would fail to grasp the idea that the COVID vaccines saved lives and Vance politicizing it now is simply him desperately trying to save his own life in politics in the coming election by spouting any kind of nonsense possible under the pretense of the right to free speech. -
