Making a 90 day report first time in a few years.

giddyup · 18 hours ago18 hr

I've been doing online 90 day reports for a few years, but because I'm about to get a new passport I believe the next 90 day has to be done in person. The last time I did a report at Jomtien it was only necessary to present your passport, now I believe there are a couple of forms to fill out. I have been at the same address for 16 years, do I still have to fill out a TM30?

Dubai Dream Turns Dark As Expats Arrested In War Chaos

Dubai Dream Turns Dark As Expats Arrested In War Chaos Paradise To Police State The fantasy of Dubai as a glittering, tax-free utopia is collapsing — fast. As war tensions grip the region, expats are discovering a far harsher reality: one where survival can land you in handcuffs. Arrested For A Photo Foreign residents are reportedly being detained for simply taking pictures of drone strikes — and in some cases, for privately sending them to worried family members.

Joe Kent, Counterterrorism official in Trump Administration, resigns.

Alan Zweibel · 14 hours ago14 hr

Joe Kent, one of the United States’ top counterterrorism officials, announced his resignation on Tuesday, citing his opposition to the Iran war and what he said was Israel’s influence over the Trump administration’s policies. Here is his resignation letter in full. https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/dea3cbf97dbfb39c/1/output-1.png https://archive.ph/R2vUr I may not like his principles, but at least unlike most rightwingers who post here, he doesn't believe that MAGA is Trump an

Trump Snaps At Reporter As War Questions Intensify A heated exchange between Donald Trump and a reporter aboard Air Force One has gone viral, underscoring growing pressure on the president over the expanding war with Iran.

Anybody care to get out of their bubble and read a reasoned analysis of the present conflict. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/3/16/the-us-israeli-strategy-against-iran-is-working-here-is-why Im sure this will degenerate into the usual Trump deranged nonsense, probably because the analysis is unimpeachable "But the critics are making a different error: They are treating the costs of action as if the costs of inaction were zero. They were not. They were measured in the slow accretion of

Which country's passport is most beautiful? And, why?

GammaGlobulin · 2 hours ago2 hr

Dear Folks, I have, for many years, been so envious of the beauty of the British Passport. It is far more lovely than my own. For example: If you could buy one, which one would you buy? Alternatively, out of all countries on Planet Earth, which country has... \The most beautiful passport.... Aesthetically speaking, of course. How much would you pay for one of these, by the way? Best regards, Gamma

Will Trump back down?

GammaGlobulin · 12 hours ago12 hr

Dear Folks, I have absolutely no idea how to create a “poll”, on TV. However, be that as it may be, what is your opinion? Will Trump back down? Deep in his big heart, Trump knows that the right move, given the reality of his situation, is to finally step down from his high-horse, and just….BACK DOWN. Do you think he is capable for doing so? Yes? No? IMHO, the answer is a definite YES. Trump is easily capable of pragmatically backing down, and getting out of Iran, while the getting is goo

HEGSETH: Would you say he is a “dandy” ?

GammaGlobulin · 14 hours ago14 hr

Dear Folks, Ever since the Iran War came into full view, and since the time Hagseth, too, began flexing his muscles, in his too-tight-little suit-jackets, I have been wracking my brain trying to recall the image he most evokes, just based on my many decades of living. Then, wouldn’t you know it? Just about 5-minutes ago, it finally hit me. I know, I know, I shouted. Hagseth is the SPITTING IMAGE of the Dandy song, "Follower of Fashion", first sung by the glorious and very incisive KINKS. Thi
