Syrian government falls in stunning end to 50-year rule of Assad family
Can of worms. Out with the old , in with the new. Whatever the ' new ' is , it won't be democratic or an upholder of human rights. Musical chairs , Hope I'm wrong but been disappointed too many times. Problem with the Arab spring was that it skipped summer and went straight to winter. -

Australian Man Runs Amok, Sets House on Fire, and Smashes Vehicles in Pattaya
I have a feeling he will probably avoid a jail sentence, but all this is likely to cost him MAJOR amount of money. -

Biden Administration Weighs Preemptive Pardons Amid Trump’s Return
U go a think for Gaetz, is it sexual perhaps? LOL.And, since you brought it up, what would he need a pardon for? Lay it all out here. FYI, Matt Gaetz will have a prominent roles as a special counsel, wait and see. You're going to love it. In the meantime, focus on Trump, he's the boss now and is in charge of America, so get used to it. -

Any recent changes to the TM30 document?
Please help me to understand. Do folks with 12 month extensions report a TM 30 every time they travel around Thailand for a few days? My TM 30 is stapled in my Passport and updated yearly when I apply for extension and that's it. -

Tom Yum ingredients - to eat or not to eat?
Hello, in Tom Yum soups like Tom Yum Khung i always find these ingredients: Do Thai people eat them? Or are they just added for taste, but left uneaten on the plate/in the bowl? I asked several Thai foodies about it, including a restaurant cook. They all suspected i suspect Thais of poisoning me with inedible ingredients. They insisted: “Yes, can eat!” I have no doubt you can eat it. But do they really? No Thai was able to distinguish between – possible to eat – actually eaten by most people Then i talked to a professional Cambodian cook who does excellent Thai and Mexican stuff as well. She said: “I pitied the foreigners gnawing on these woodsy and leafy bits. When i knew the Tom Yum or some such was for a foreigner, i fished those ingredients out after cooking with them.” Obviously she didn’t worry being blamed with delivering an incomplete Tom Yum. Was she right to fish the stuff out? Would you have liked to gnaw on it? -

Why do "little people" vote for their executioners?
I have listed a number of European countries "at risk" above already. Forgot to add Turkey. Their "party manifests" clearly show where they see the "European Future". -

Here we go. Mega MAGA Mess is coming. Is SS, MediCare etc gone... soon?
Of course the SS trust fund is not in a bank account. The trust fund lends the money to the US treasury and is given T-bills in return. The interest rate the government pays is very close to what it pays on the T-bills sold at auction. When the Treasury pays out the SS benefits the amount paid is deducted from the amount owed to the SS trust fund. Every $ the Treasury pays out as benefits is taken from the SS trust fund, not the US governments general revenue. Therefor there is ZERO impact on the Federal deficit from SS benefit payouts. That's the law as of right now. It may change in the future when the inflows to the SS trust fund don't cover the benefits owed as calculated by the current SS benefit algorithm.
