Thailand's Smile Fades: Nation's Global Happiness Rank Falls
Burmese in Thailand seem to be the equivalent of Mexicans in the USA. But, possibly, better treated, as says my wife? She also considers Burmese are harder workers than Thai people are - again a possible parrallel with Mexican workers in the USA? -

Conor McGregor Announces Presidential Bid After Meeting Donald Trump
Conor McGregor has declared his intention to run for President of Ireland, making the announcement after meeting with Donald Trump. The former UFC champion posed in front of a private jet, wearing a red hat emblazoned with the slogan "Make Ireland Great Again." Taking to Instagram, McGregor addressed the European Union Migration Pact, stating, "Ireland must fully implement the EU Migration Pact by June 12, 2026. So between now and 12 June 2026, several pieces of legislation have to be passed by both Houses of the Oireachtas & then signed by the President. The next presidential election must take place by 11 Nov 2025. Who else will stand up to Government and oppose this bill? Any other Presidential candidate they attempt to put forward will be of no resistance to them. I will!" He continued, "For clarity also, as President, I would put forth this bill to referendum. Although I oppose greatly this pact, it is neither mine nor governments choice to make. It is the people of Ireland’s choice! Always! That is a true democracy!" Earlier in the day, McGregor also took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to rally support. "Ireland, the choice is yours and it is an easy one. Vote for me as your President and we will SAVE IRELAND TOGETHER!" During a speech before a press conference with Donald Trump, McGregor criticized the Irish government, expressing concern that Ireland was at risk of "potentially losing its Irishness." He described the current administration as one of "zero action with zero accountability" and criticized government spending, saying, "Our money is being spent on overseas issues that is nothing to do with the Irish people." McGregor’s invitation to the White House followed Trump naming him as one of his favorite Irish figures. When the two met, McGregor praised the former U.S. president’s "work ethic" as "inspiring." The pair posed for photographs, shaking hands in front of a map labeled the "Gulf of America" in the Oval Office. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt remarked in a briefing, "We couldn't think of a better guest to have with us on St. Patrick's Day." McGregor’s appearance in Washington was met with criticism from Irish leaders. Taoiseach Micheál Martin stated that his remarks did "not reflect the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, or the views of the people of Ireland." The fighter has previously hinted at a presidential run, particularly in December 2023 amid tensions surrounding riots in Dublin. At the time, he took to social media to argue why he would be a strong candidate. "Potential competition if I run. Gerry [Adams], 78. Bertie [Ahern], 75. Enda [Kenny], 74. Each with unbreakable ties to their individual parties’ politics," he wrote. "Regardless of what the public outside of their parties feel. These parties govern themselves vs govern the people. Or me, 35. Young, active, passionate, fresh skin in the game. I listen. I support. I adapt. I have no affiliation/bias/favoritism toward any party. They would genuinely be held to account regarding the current sway of public feeling. I'd even put it all to vote." McGregor has received support from high-profile figures, including Elon Musk, now acting as Trump’s cost-cutting adviser. Musk responded to McGregor’s post, saying, "I think you could take them all single-handed. Not even fair." Andrew Tate, who is facing legal issues in Romania, also endorsed McGregor, writing, "My grandfather is from Limerick. I have the Irish passport. I will vote for you. We must do something before it's too late." McGregor’s political ambitions come as he deals with ongoing legal issues. His visit to the White House followed a High Court ruling in Dublin, where he was found civilly liable in a case brought by Nikita Hand, also known as Nikita Ní Laimhín. Hand accused McGregor of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018. Following a three-week trial, the jury ruled against McGregor, awarding damages and costs to Hand. A judge later stated that the jury had "conclusively determined" that McGregor had committed rape. Following the ruling, major retailers cut ties with McGregor, ceasing sales of his Proper No. Twelve Irish whiskey. He was also removed from the video game Hitman. McGregor is currently appealing the outcome of the civil case. Based on a report by Daily Mail 2025-03-21 -
