SOME DTV extensions in Bangkok getting 2 week "under consideration" stamp
I think the agent assisted DTV border runs are for those who have problems justifying a long term stay if asked by an immigration officer. Still learning to cook pad thai after 2 years? Doing dental work 3 years straight? Might raise some eyebrows at immigration, for example. -

CNN’s On-Air Blunder: Network Mistakenly Mixes Up Obama and Osama bin Laden
CNN found itself at the center of ridicule on Friday night after an embarrassing on-air mistake that mistakenly conflated former President Barack Obama with Osama bin Laden. The blunder led to widespread mockery, further tarnishing the network’s struggling reputation. During a segment on *CNN News Central*, a graphic appeared behind anchor Boris Sanchez, erroneously reading “OBAMA BIN LADEN.” The report was covering President Trump’s plan to send illegal migrants to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and included a discussion about Al-Qaeda terrorist Abu Zubaydah, who remains imprisoned at the controversial detention facility. While Sanchez did not utter the mistaken phrase, the glaring error on the screen did not go unnoticed. The graphic, displayed in bold all-caps, read: “OBAMA BIN LADEN ASSOCIATE: ABU ZUBAYDAH.” Obama had previously pledged to shut down Guantanamo Bay, a promise that ultimately went unfulfilled. His inability to close the facility paved the way for Trump’s proposed initiative to transfer up to 30,000 criminal migrants there. The mistake sparked instant reactions online, with many finding humor in the high-profile gaffe. “CNN is gone. Might as well turn off the lights,” quipped X user Clara Winslow. Another user, Daniel, questioned the network’s credibility, writing: “Freudian slip much CNN?” Some viewers, however, were convinced the mistake was more than just an accident. “That was not a misprint. Shame on whoever did that,” a liberal-leaning account on X stated, suggesting intent behind the error. The incident adds to a growing list of challenges for CNN. The network, long criticized by former President Trump and his supporters, has been struggling with declining viewership and ongoing staff reductions. Just last month, CNN cut 200 jobs as part of a wave of layoffs across the company. Prominent anti-Trump figures like Jim Acosta have also recently departed, further signaling the network’s internal turmoil. Based on a report by NYP 2025-02-11 -

Trump: ‘we’re going to lose our patience’ hostages ‘looked like Holocaust survivors’
Trump has expressed deep concern over the condition of three Israeli hostages released by Hamas on Saturday, comparing their frail and emaciated appearance to Holocaust survivors. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, he warned that the United States' patience could eventually wear thin. I watched the hostages come back today. And they looked like Holocaust surivors. They were in horrible condition. They were emacitated. It looked like many years ago the Holocaust survivors. I don't know how much longer we can take that...We're going to lose our patience" He emphasized how much their appearance had changed, saying, “They look like they haven’t had a meal in a month. These were healthy people a reasonably short number of years ago, and now they look like they’ve aged 25 years. They literally look like the old pictures of Holocaust survivors, the same thing. No reason for that.” Trump acknowledged that under the current ceasefire and hostage agreement, captives were expected to be released gradually, but he highlighted the severity of their mistreatment. “They are in really bad shape, they have been treated brutally, horribly. Even the ones that came out earlier, they were in a little bit better shape, but mentally they were treated so badly. Who could take that?” he asked. He concluded his remarks with a warning, suggesting that the situation could push the United States to take further action. “You know, at some point, we’re gonna lose our patience.” Based on a report by Sky News | TOI 2025-02-11 -

The West’s DEI Obsession is Its Own Undoing – Can Britain Break Free?
As America under Donald Trump moves swiftly to dismantle the dominance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, Britain remains stubbornly entrenched in what some would call a culture of wokery. The United States, often criticized for exporting everything from baseball caps to linguistic oddities like “step up to the plate” and “my bad,” might, for once, be setting an example Britain should follow. Trump’s second term has already seen decisive action against DEI policies. In a striking display of his agenda, he signed an executive order banning men from competing in women’s sports, standing alongside young female athletes as he did so. His administration has wasted no time in targeting what it sees as ideological excesses, including slashing government spending on DEI projects. These cuts have included $2 million earmarked for gender transition surgeries in Guatemala, $1.5 million to promote DEI initiatives in Serbia, and even a $32,000 grant for a transgender comic book in Peru. More frivolous still, funds were being allocated to print customized condoms for foreign aid programs. Trump’s stance has extended beyond budget cuts. Admiral Linda Fagan, the first female leader of the United States Coast Guard, was abruptly dismissed, with Trump’s team branding her appointment a token DEI hire. The move was met with both outrage and laughter, as White House spokespeople openly derided spending decisions made under the Biden administration. Britain, however, continues to pour public money into ideological projects. This week, it was revealed that London’s Science Museum labeled Lego as “heteronormative,” an assertion so absurd it barely merits response. Meanwhile, taxpayers' money continues to fund controversial organizations such as the transgender charity Mermaids, which was found to have misled the public about the effects of puberty blockers and provided chest binders to children as young as 13, without parental consent. The Charity Commission’s investigation also unearthed disturbing connections to a group accused of supporting paedophilia. Beyond ideology, wasteful spending remains rampant. The Arts and Humanities Research Council, a body tasked with funding academic inquiry, has allocated £841,830 to a project titled *The Europe that Gay Porn Built*, £759,293 to *Comics and Race in Latin America*, and £123,470 to *Decolonising South-east Asian Sound Archives*. Meanwhile, the Department for Business has handed £200,000 to Shanghai to encourage "creativity in Chinese communities"—a baffling allocation, given that Shanghai’s GDP per capita is higher than Britain’s. Similarly, £244,061 has been sent to Kuala Lumpur to address congestion issues, despite the city’s economic standing surpassing much of the UK. The foreign aid budget is equally perplexing. This year alone, Britain is handing £133 million to Pakistan, a country plagued by corruption; £57 million to India, which has its own space program; and £13 million to South Africa, a country that hardly needs UK taxpayer support when Cape Town is thriving. Despite these missteps, there are hints that the “Trump effect” might be influencing Britain. Major corporations, including Meta and Amazon, are rapidly scaling back their DEI initiatives, a shift that will inevitably impact their UK operations. Even London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, seems to be taking note. Over the weekend, the “he/him” pronouns mysteriously vanished from his Twitter bio. Though he later blamed a “technical error” and restored them following public ridicule, it suggests a subtle acknowledgment of shifting tides. Yet, many institutions remain untouched by this change. The Scottish branch of the National Farmers Union has deemed the term “farmer’s wife” inappropriate. Civil servants are threatening to strike over a mere two-day-per-week return to the office. Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party has also undone Conservative efforts to curb Britain’s so-called “sicknote culture,” where benefits can be claimed under dubious health complaints. One politician who has dared to speak out is Oliver Freeston, a Reform councillor for North East Lincolnshire. He recently argued that “anxiety and depression” have become convenient justifications for out-of-work benefits, likening them to the “bad back” excuses of the past. His remarks earned him an official reprimand from a compliance officer, warning him to moderate his language or face disciplinary action. Meanwhile, in media and advertising, the relentless social engineering continues. There is no objection to interracial couples, yet their omnipresence in advertising seems almost a deliberate exercise in demographic messaging. American companies, in contrast, appear to be taking a different approach. Following Trump’s re-election, Apple’s Christmas campaign featured a white family reflective of the majority population in the U.S.—a stark contrast to the direction of British advertising. One can only hope that Britain is beginning to recognize the pitfalls of its ideological path. Reform UK’s rise in the polls suggests that voters are gravitating towards a platform of common sense, whether or not they support the party itself. The backlash against DEI is no longer confined to niche political circles; it is becoming a mainstream issue. Mocking the absurdities of the DEI agenda may be cathartic, but the broader implications are no laughing matter. If Britain doesn’t course-correct, it risks further cultural and economic decline. The ideology fueling this decline does not merely inconvenience—it threatens to unravel the very foundations of Western society. The question remains: will Britain wake up before it’s too late?
