The World’s Deadliest Infectious Disease Is About to Get Worse
I may have missed something here but what exactly is America in need of that you claim nobody's interested in giving them? I'm not sure if a better IQ is something that can be easily conveyed like a Red Cross parcel, moreso now that USAID has been shuttered. -

Wife Injures Husband with Cleaver After Dispute Over Dinner Choice
Picture courtesy of ThaiRath. A domestic dispute in the town of Klaeng, Rayong, escalated dramatically when a woman used a cleaver to injure her husband after a disagreement over dinner. The incident occurred on the evening of 15 March at a rented house in the Ban Kram area. Police and rescue workers arrived at the scene to find 50-year-old Sak Sitti sitting in pain, bleeding from multiple injuries. He had been struck on the head and left ankle with a cleaver by his wife, 48-year-old Boonyanuch. According to Boonyanuch’s account, the altercation began during her birthday celebration when she made a pot of Tom Yum Gai, soup for dinner. Her husband, sitting outside with male friends, requested chicken rice instead. Boonyanuch reportedly responded, “We have soup, why don’t you eat that?” This sparked a heated argument, with her husband reportedly becoming angry and approaching her with an object. In self-defense, Boonyanuch grabbed a cleaver from the kitchen and swung it at her husband, striking him twice. Neighbours intervened and called for emergency services, who arrived to administer first aid before transporting Sak to the hospital. At present, the police have not pressed charges, as the incident appears to be a domestic matter. They are awaiting Sak’s decision on whether to file a formal complaint, which will determine if further action will be taken against his wife. -- 2025-03-17 -

Trump Hits Record Approval as Americans Express Most Optimism in 20 Years
Three months into his second term, President Trump has reached the highest approval rating of his presidency, while more Americans believe the country is on the right track than at any time since 2004, according to a new NBC News poll released Sunday. The survey found that 47% of voters approve of Trump’s job performance, an all-time high in the poll, although 51% still disapprove. Trump previously reached 47% approval in early 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic, and again in October 2018. Despite this historic high, the president has not won over a majority of Americans, and 54% disapprove of his handling of the economy—marking the first time he has lost a majority on that issue in NBC’s polling. Still, voters generally feel Trump is delivering “the right kind of change” on key issues, including his controversial tariffs. The poll found that more Americans support his trade policy (41%) than oppose it (38%), even after a stock market selloff following his decision to impose sweeping tariffs—25% on Canada and Mexico and 20% on China. His immigration policies remain the most popular, with 56% of respondents saying they are a positive change. Government spending cuts were also well received, with 47% approving compared to 29% opposing. Even in areas where Trump has faced significant opposition, such as his approach to the Ukraine war and NATO, more people view his actions positively than negatively—41% and 40%, respectively. On inflation, 40% said his policies are having a positive impact, while 30% believe they are making things worse and 28% see no effect. The poll underscores the sharp partisan divide surrounding Trump. His approval among Republicans stands at a staggering 90%, while only 4% of Democrats support him. According to NBC, this marks the widest gap in partisan approval for a president in the last 80 years. NBC’s findings align with other recent polls. The latest RealClearPolitics average puts Trump’s approval rating at 48.2%, significantly higher than where he stood at this point in his first term (44%). However, it remains below where former President Joe Biden was at the same point in his presidency (53%). In another boost for Trump, 44% of registered voters now believe the country is on the right track—the highest percentage since President George W. Bush was in office two decades ago. While 54% still believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, the shift represents a significant improvement from the previous administration. In September of last year, only 28% of voters said the nation was on the right track, while 65% believed it was on the wrong path. One of Trump’s most significant actions in his second term has been the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a move that has drawn fierce protests from government employees and backlash from Democrats. While the department remains unpopular overall (47% negative versus 41% positive), voters are split on whether it was a good idea, with 46% in favor and 40% opposed. Trump has remained steadfast in his support of DOGE and Elon Musk, backing the cost-cutting initiative as a way to reduce the federal deficit. Perhaps the most striking development in the poll is the dramatic decline in the Democratic Party’s favorability. Only 27% of voters view the party positively, while 55% have a negative opinion—the worst numbers for Democrats in NBC News’ polling history. Based on a report by NYP 2025-03-17
