Kamala Harris Faces a Pivotal Choice: California Governorship or Presidential Ambitions?
Well, she wasn't the POTUS, so that was a win for all of us. She did try to participate in a primary, but was so unpopular she withdrew prior to the debate. -

Bed Mattress
Yes, I had a latex mattress in the U.K. but I'm a bit concerned it might retain the heat here a little more as opposed to a traditional one. Do you find that or is it nothing to worry about? -

Elections Watchdog Urges Legal Reforms to Block Potential £80 Million Elon Musk Donation
Labour received millions from overseas individuals, maybe even Soros, so this will be a tough one for them to square without accusations of hypocricy. -

Pattaya bar girl scams 10 million baht from South Korean man
Photo via Tero Asia by Petch Petpailin A South Korean man lost more than 10 million baht to a Thai woman he met in Pattaya. The woman even claimed that she died of cancer to scam the foreigner out of his money. The South Korean victim, identified only as Danny, appeared on the Thai news programme ถกไม่เถียง (translated as Discussing, Not Arguing) on Channel 7 yesterday, December 19, to share his story of falling victim to a romance scam. Danny explained that he met the woman, who later scammed him, at a bar in Pattaya in December 2020. He noticed her unhappy demeanour and later discovered that she did not want to work there. Danny asked her to stop working and offered to support her financially. Their relationship officially began in January 2021. Danny revealed that he travelled back and forth between Thailand and South Korea, sending the woman between 40,000 and 50,000 baht each month. Typically, he would visit Thailand every two months and stay for 10 days before returning to South Korea. Later, the woman requested additional money, claiming her father passed away. Danny gave her 100,000 baht for her father’s funeral. Photo via Channel 7 The woman continued to request more money, citing various reasons. In addition to supporting his girlfriend, Danny also sent money to her relatives at her request. The woman claimed she needed 250,000 baht for a car accident, 100,000 baht for her coffee shop, 400,000 baht for further treatment from a car accident, 800,000 baht for the loss of their unborn baby, 400,000 baht for her brother’s gambling debts, and 1.6 million baht for cancer treatment. Fake death Danny believed the cancer claim as he saw her speaking to a doctor via video call. However, after paying for her supposed cancer treatment, Danny never saw her again. She claimed she could not meet him due to the severity of her condition. Danny realised he had been scammed when the woman’s sister contacted him, saying that his girlfriend died of cancer on December 11. Photo via Channel 7 Danny immediately travelled from South Korea to Thailand and searched for his girlfriend at the hospital and temple mentioned by her sister but found no evidence of her death. The sister claimed the body was at Siriraj Hospital and demanded 2 million baht for the funeral. The sister also told Danny that his girlfriend had a life insurance policy worth 5 million baht, which would be shared between him and the sister. However, Danny was told he needed to pay 10% of the amount, 500,000 baht, to the insurance company to claim the money. Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-12-20 -

Winning The Trans Debate: Balancing Victory with Integrity
I have a vivid memory of my mother listening to Lola and being astounded by it. She had no idea that boys might want to be girls. It was a very long time ago and she had lived a very sheltered life. -
