Is trump wearing leg braces?
I'm not the one that need to change the source of my information. But in true form minions can't think for themselves so they default and believe any bs handed them. Your time is up on this as its useless and a waste of time as the cult clearly has you in their grasp Enjoy living in your ignorance -

California Dem Senator just chaotically disrupts a DHS presser…
Security was way, way out of control. Noam should resign. She is a clown. Senators should question idiotic policy. It is their job to do so. Unfortunately, this administration is looking worse by the day. Very heavy handed and very insecure. More autocratic, and hopefully his supporters will begin to realize that he's not even a pale shadow of the man that they thought they voted for. He is way worse. -

Economy Siam Commercial Bank Predicts Limited Baht Strengthening Amid Volatile Market
I think time will tell, you grossly mischaracterize and underestimate President Trumps international trade policies. Job Creation and Wage Growth: Since January 2025, Trump’s administration has overseen the addition of 345,000 jobs, with 188,000 (54%) in the private sector, including 139,000 in May 2025, exceeding expectations, per White House data. Real average hourly earnings rose 0.4% for middle/low-income workers and 1% for manufacturing since January, with a 4% annual increase outpacing inflation (2.4% in November 2024), per economic updates. This has particularly benefited non-high school graduates, with labor force participation up 0.7%, reflecting support for less-skilled workers, a key campaign promise. Investment and Production: Industrial production reached its seventh-highest monthly level in March 2025, with $5 trillion in new investment announced, per White House reports. Mortgage rates fell 0.4%, saving $1,080/year on a median home, and auto sales saw the biggest monthly jump in March, signaling consumer confidence boosts, per trade analyses. Energy Independence: Continued deregulation of energy sectors, building on his first term’s policies, has kept gasoline prices down 7% since January 2025 and egg prices down 50%, per White House claims, aligning with his goal to lower living costs. Inflation and CPI Management: Price Stability: The May 2025 CPI rose 2.3% year-over-year, the slowest since February 2021, with core CPI at 2.8% below the 2.9% forecast, per economic data. This suggests early success in curbing inflation despite tariff introductions, challenging predictions of a spike (e.g., 2.4–2.8% summer uptick), per analysts. Trump’s team credits policy shifts, though some attribute it to Biden-era momentum. Trade and Negotiation Wins: Bilateral Deals: Early in his second term, Trump secured a zero-for-zero auto parts deal with India (May 6, 2025) and Colombia’s agreement to deport illegal immigrants in exchange for tariff relief (April 2, 2025), per trade updates. These demonstrate his leverage-based diplomacy, boosting U.S. manufacturing and border security, key campaign goals. Fentanyl Crackdown: Tariffs targeting China (34%, April 2025) aim to curb fentanyl trafficking, with initial reports of reduced precursor shipments, per White House statements. This aligns with his public health focus, though long-term impact is pending. Deregulation and Business Climate: Regulatory Relief: Trump’s rollback of 15,000 federal jobs and deregulation efforts (e.g., environmental rules) have spurred business optimism, with the National Federation of Independent Businesses reporting a 5-point confidence increase in Q2 2025, per trade analyses. This supports small businesses, a constituency he champions. Tax Policy: Proposals to extend 2017 tax cuts and introduce new incentives (e.g., manufacturing credits) are in progress, with early market responses (e.g., Dow up 1.2% in May) suggesting investor support, per Kiplinger (June 2025). -

Prostitution Ring Uncovered in Phnom Penh Karaoke Raid
They treat that stuff pretty seriously here simply because of the money involved (rewards, bonuses). That venue would have catered to Khmer vis a vis westerners, since ones frequented by westerners usually get a dime dropped on them fast to the NGOs. Its not as much a blatant or even prevalent thing like it was 20 years ago, what is more prevalent are the western "teachers" et al that have a ready made supply
