Thai PM Paetongtarn Accused of Being a 'Tax Dodger' by MP
Picture courtesy of THai PBS People's Party MP Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn made waves today with serious allegations against Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, accusing her of evading taxes on a transfer of shares valued at approximately 4.44 billion baht. Wiroj claims that over 218.7 million baht in taxes was not paid, stemming from shares transferred to the prime minister by family members back in 2016. The drama unfolded during the censure debate, where Wiroj unveiled that the prime minister had issued nine promissory notes to her relatives, including her two siblings, mother, uncle, and an aunt, as a means of compensation for these shares. These promissory notes laid out schedules for repayment but notably excluded any mention of interest, something Wiroj believes could mask an implicit gift—a crucial factor as Thai law exempts company share purchases from taxes but requires tax payment on shares received as gifts. The MP raised constitutional concerns as he questioned whether the shares were genuinely purchased, pointing to Section 160 of Thailand's Constitution. This section mandates that all citizens pay taxes on taxable income and stipulates that a prime minister must be honest and uphold ethical standards. Wiroj put forth a pertinent question: “How can Paetongtarn qualify as prime minister if she hasn’t paid income tax?” While Wiroj acknowledged the significance of having a woman from the new generation in leadership, he stressed that lack of transparency could tarnish both Paetongtarn's reputation and her administration. He urged the prime minister to address these allegations head-on, insisting it would not only clear her name but also fortify her government's legitimacy. This political drama comes against a backdrop of heightened scrutiny and expectation for ethical governance in Thailand. Wiroj, as an opposition member, maintains he respects Paetongtarn's role but urges transparency as an obligation owed to the Thai populace. As observers from all walks of life follow this unfolding story, the allegations pose pivotal questions about ethical governance and transparency within Thailand’s political landscape. Whether the prime minister’s response will soothe or fuel further debate remains to be seen, but for now, the pressure is on for clarity and accountability at the highest levels of government, reported Thai PBS. -- 2025-03-24 -

Trump Takes Backpedaling to an Aerobic Extreme
You really hit the nail on the head here, knocked it out of the park. If one takes a moment and actually thinks about all these actions the convicted felon is taking, one would realize he doesn't have enough brains to power an ant's motorcycle around the inside of a Cheerio. HE'S not the one coming up with all these ideas. He's following orders from truly crafty, evil-minded White Christian Nationalists to demolish democracy and put in place a fascist regime. How many times did he say "I have no idea what Project 2025 is" and yet he's going right down its list of directions on how to dismantle the US government and put white Christian fundamentalists in its place. Unfortunately, for most people around the world, thinking is not their strong suit. -

but it has everything to do about knowing the culture of a country first hand rather than speculating on what one reads on a forum or hears on mainstream news. -

Exactly what happens in a man's brain during SEX
I was curious what the use of cannabis has on the brain that actually causes sex to feel twice as good, both physically and psycho actively when using cannabis immediately prior to sex . Here is the answer: 1 - Increased dopamine release 2 - Increased physical sensitivity 3 - Causes relaxation and anxiety reduction 4 - Altered time perception making orgasms feel longer and more intense. 5 - Increased emotional connection
