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

giddyup · 21 hours ago21 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?

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. During a press gaggle, a female journalist asked Trump to explain the deployment of 5,000 U.S. Marines and sailors to the region — a question that appeared to trigger an immediate and sharp reaction. “You’re a very obnoxious person,” Trump shot back, before cutting her off

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.

Anyone who ever spent time in Dubai and didn’t know it was a police state is engaging in the most dangerous lie there is, lying to oneself. Influencers are merely paid liars. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15611275/The-unseen-forces-work-safest-country-world-influencers.html

Another lie from Trump yesterday. He only mentioned Bin Laden once in his 304 page book, describing him as a shadowy figure. But Bin Laden had already been targeted by US airstrikes in Afghanistan following the 1988 embassy bombings. The CIA had a unit looking for him since the 1990s and he was on the FBI's ten most wanted list.

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

GammaGlobulin · 5 hours ago5 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 · 15 hours ago15 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

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
