Kamala Harris Faces Uncertain Path to 2028 as Democrats Weigh Future
I can't think of a better way for the Democrats to guarantee another election loss than to run Harris again. Of course, it isn't going to happen. The woman can't even hold an unscripted press conference and she would have to survive the primaries. They did their best to keep her away from the press during the last election cycle, but she screwed up even the softball interviews. Not presidential material. What's the alternative? Who knows, but we'll be lucky if we're around in 2028 to worry about it. People should perhaps spend their time worrying about WW III and the nutcase Neocons surrounding Trump. The most dangerous threat the human race has ever faced. -

Report Trump’s Movie Tariff Threatens Thailand’s Role as a Hollywood Filming Hub
Jon Voight, named a “special ambassador” to Hollywood by President Trump in January 2025, significantly influenced the 100% tariff proposal on foreign films announced on May 4, 2025. Voight, along with his manager Steven Paul and SP Media Group’s Scott Karol, met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, presenting a “comprehensive plan” to boost U.S. film production. This plan included federal tax incentives, co-production treaties, and infrastructure subsidies, but only mentioned tariffs “in certain limited circumstances.” Trump’s subsequent announcement of a sweeping 100% tariff exceeded Voight’s proposal, suggesting Trump amplified the tariff idea beyond Voight’s intent. Sources, including Politico and NBC News, credit Voight with planting the tariff concept, though Trump framed it as his own initiative, citing national security and Hollywood’s decline. Voight’s recent film career, with roles in lower-profile projects like Man with No Past and High Ground, lacks the critical or commercial weight of his earlier work (Midnight Cowboy, Coming Home). Similarly, Trump’s other ambassadors, Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson, are known for action and conservative-leaning genre films, limiting their representation of the diverse film industry. This narrow focus raises questions about their suitability to shape policy for an art form that thrives on global perspectives and creative freedom. The arts, including film, are often seen as a liberal domain, reflecting global events and cultural exchange. Tariffs threatening international collaboration could stifle creativity and economic viability, as many U.S. films rely on foreign locations for authenticity and cost savings. Critics on X and industry experts argue that such protectionism ignores the globalized nature of storytelling, potentially harming Hollywood more than helping it. Voight’s influence, while notable, appears to have been a starting point for Trump’s broader, more punitive policy, which risks undermining the industry’s liberal and global ethos. -

My TM30 is dated Aug 2015 and been out of the country more times than I can remember, never had a problem. I keep expecting them to say a new one is required, beginning to look a bit tatty. -

Opinion Casinos in Thailand Unlikely to Boost Tourism
If they, TH, think their version will be 'world class', like everything else they think is world class, then NO, tourist will not increase because of casinos. Not world class in TH ... compared to other locations I've been: ... scuba diving ... mountains, though very nice ... beaches ... Hell NO ... friendliness of people ... same same ... food ... same same, marginally prefer USA Not TAT promoted: ... women (non P4P) ... same same, advantage TH (income disparity), so younger will be more tolerant to older partners, but only in the 50+ age of men. Under 45 and healthy, same same in USA.
