My wife gets visa free entry into my country. Only the airlines give her hassles asking about visas. Funny thing is that she gets through immigration in my country quicker than I do.

The reason for the difficulty is that many of the visa requests are indeed dubious or present problem. There are far too many people with an inability to financially support themselves seeking visas.

I believe that since January 2007, you are required to show a passport to enter the US from Mexico and Canada. That is not to say that many illegals manage to get accross by going around the POE's, b

'LEAVING MAGA': Former Trump supporters REVEAL why they left

gargamon · 15 hours ago15 hr

https://leavingmaga.org/ Dear MAGA Americans, I was a devoted member of MAGA nation for seven years; it made me feel I was part of something important: a movement that was trying to save American democracy. But starting in 2021, I realized I had been mistaken. It took me a full year to finally break away. During that time, I came to understand that MAGA is sustained by a series of myths that are intended to create perpetual feelings of desperation and panic. Succumbing to these predatory myths

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil. Instead, it'll be collected in his personal toilet system, watched hawk-like by accompanying members of the Secret Service with pegs on their nose. But what in God's name is this all about? https://w

The World Cup Was A Great Success Until THAT Happened.

BLMFem · yesterday at 09:21 AM1 day

I detest Trump for a variety of reasons, and now he's given me one more. Despite the grave misgivings I, and many, many more, had going into this WC ( ICE, the visa issues, a top referee turned away, the treatment of the Iranian team etc.) the WC was turning into a great success, bringing people from all over the world together, including lots of Americans, many of who seemed to develop an interest in, and an enjoyment of, the beautiful game. Partly, this was because of an American side that pl

Bangkok Enters Global Top 10 for Luxury Living
Bangkok Enters Global Top 10 for Luxury Living

Georgealbert posted a topic in Thailand News - Discussion

Bangkok has entered the world’s top 10 most expensive cities for luxury living for the first time, according to the Global Wealth and Lifestyle Report 2026 published by Swiss private bank Julius Baer. The Thai capital climbed from 11th place in 2025 to 10th this year, marking its first appearance in the top 10 since the index was introduced in 2020. Get today's headlines by email The ranking measures the cost of maintaining a high-end lifestyle for high-net-worth individuals. It is based on the prices of 20 categories of premium goods and services across 25 cities worldwide. Julius Baer said the Asia-Pacific region continues to be a major global wealth hub, with five cities featuring in the top 10 rankings. Alongside Bangkok, the regional cities are Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Sydney. Singapore retained its position as the world’s most expensive city for luxury living for a fourth consecutive year. The report said high property and vehicle costs, combined with the strength of the Singapore dollar, helped keep it at the top of the index. Zurich rose to second place, while Monaco entered the top three for the first time. Hong Kong ranked fourth and London placed fifth in the latest global standings. Bangkok’s rise reflects continued growth in the luxury goods market and spending by affluent consumers across the region. The report highlights increasing demand for premium products and services as wealth continues to expand in parts of Asia-Pacific. The report also found that the global cost of luxury living increased by an average of 10.2 percent in US dollar terms during 2026. Julius Baer said stronger currencies in several countries and higher material prices, particularly gold, were among the main factors driving higher prices for luxury goods such as jewellery and watches. The latest rankings provide a snapshot of how costs are changing for wealthy consumers around the world. They are also closely watched by financial institutions and businesses involved in luxury markets as an indicator of spending trends and regional wealth patterns. Khaosod reported that future editions of the Global Wealth and Lifestyle Report will show whether Bangkok remains among the world’s 10 most expensive cities for luxury living as economic conditions, currency movements and consumer demand continue to evolve.

Appeals Court Refuses to Restore Trump's Kennedy Center Name
Appeals Court Refuses to Restore Trump's Kennedy Center Name

webfact posted a topic in World News - Discussion

A U.S. appeals court has rejected President Donald Trump's request to halt a lower court order requiring his name to be removed from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, after judges found no evidence that the decision would cause irreparable harm. Get today's headlines by email A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an unsigned order on Wednesday denying the request from Trump and fellow members of the center's board. The court noted that Trump's name had already been removed from the building's facade. The judges said the board had "failed to show how they will be irreparably injured absent a stay," rejecting its argument that removing Trump's name could damage fundraising efforts and contribute to the center's financial decline. The panel, which included Trump appointee Gregory Katsas, also said the board had not provided any specific facts or evidence to support its claims about potential financial harm. Lower Court DecisionThe ruling leaves in place a May decision by U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, who found that the Trump-controlled board acted unlawfully when it voted in December to rename the venue the "Trump-Kennedy Center." Judge Cooper also invalidated the board's decision to close the performing arts center for renovations beginning this month. Reaction and Next StepsFollowing the appeals court's decision, Joyce Beatty welcomed the ruling, saying it reaffirmed that the administration's efforts to rename the Kennedy Center were unlawful and urged the administration to accept the outcome. Judge Cooper has instructed the Kennedy Center's leadership to provide an update on any programming or renovation plans that emerge from a board meeting expected to take place in mid-July.
