J.D.Vance declines to criticize Tucker Carlson over his friendly chat with Holocaust Denier
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), the Republican vice-presidential nominee, declined to distance himself from right-wing talk show host Tucker Carlson for hosting a Holocaust distortionist who called Winston Churchill the “chief villain” of World War II, but spoke out against the crackpot guest whom he follows on his X accounts. Carlson has drawn unusually fierce criticism from several elected Republicans over his decision to host Darryl Cooper, a self-proclaimed podcast historian, on his program. Carlson described Cooper as “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States,” and declined to push back on any of the false claims made during their conversation. https://jewishinsider.com/2024/09/j-d-vance-declines-to-criticize-tucker-carlson-over-his-friendly-conversation-with-holocaust-denier/ -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
You have said many times that hardly any farang files taxes here. You may be a bit mistaken. I have friends who think 200 B is a lot of money. In Pattaya, and in the villages. And I have always been surprised, how well they know how to get back 185Baht 27 satang yearly WHT. These guys are worthless for TRD. But others in the villages have learned how to buy Thai government bonds. Now we are talking real money. I have no useful statistics, but neither have you, I guess. Most farang I know do file, which doesn't mean much, and I guess most farang you know don't file, which doesn't mean much either. We just don't know. -

Musk the useful idiot
Musk & X also are facing similar problems in the EU: Like Brazil, the European Union also has an X problem September 05, 2024 Brussels — Elon Musk's woes are hardly limited to Brazil as he now risks possible EU sanctions in the coming months for allegedly breaking new content rules. ... Politicians worldwide and digital rights groups have repeatedly raised concerns about Musk's actions since taking over what was then Twitter in late 2022, including sacking many employees tasked with content moderation and maintaining ties with EU regulators. ... The European Union could decide within months to take action against X, including possible fines, as part of an ongoing probe into whether the platform is breaching a landmark content moderation law, the Digital Services Act (DSA). ... The list of governments angry with Musk is growing. He also raised hackles over the summer in the UK during days of rioting sparked by online misinformation that the suspect behind a mass stabbing that killed three girls was a Muslim asylum seeker.

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
If you look at China's money/investment, its more akin to a loan shark, eg Sri Lanka, Tanzania. Loan sharks often portray themselves as a salt of the earth pillar of the community, providing a necessary service, but its always with dark strongs attached, -

Trump Has 'Very' Rocky Moment On Fox News As He Repeatedly Denies Being Weird
Republican nominee Donald Trump played up Russian President Vladimir Putin jokingly endorsing his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, during a campaign stop on Thursday. Donald Trump jabs back after Vladimir Putin jokingly backs Kamala Harris “I don’t know if I’m insulted or he did me a favor," Trump said of Putin while outlining economic proposals to a group of New York City and Wall Street officials. Four years ago, Putin said he preferred then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden over Trump, something he noted when he discussed Harris during an economic conference this week in Vladivostok. "We will support her," Putin said ahead of the 2024 United States elections, according to published reports, adding: "She laughs so expressively and infectiously that it means that everything is fine with her." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/09/05/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-kamala-harris/75064403007/ -

Baht becoming ridiculously strong
I will need to stop buying using AmEx Card from Amazon, now, it seems. My AmEx Card is not a Thai AmEx card. I liked it far better when Baht was like.... 38....many months ago. How long will I need to wait for Baht to return to 38.....would you imagine? -

Allan Lichtman, the Nostradamus of U.S. presidential predictions has made his FINAL pick
Also, Lincoln was a politician. I don't know what his private opinions were, or if there is any record of them, but to state that he believed Black people were just as good as white people, or at least deserved the same rights, probably would have doomed him politically. Anyway, his comment was irrelevant to the lack of importance he assigns to the abolition of slavery. -

Thai Wheelchair Fencer Wins 4th Gold in Thrilling Paralympics Final
I don’t doubt when you consider the amount of competitors and the multiple grading that from time to time some slip through. In fact 2 athletes have been pulled out after there races one of which won a bronze but had it taken off him. So what about the GB swimmer Alice Tai with club feet who had her leg amputated below the knee due to extreme pain in 2022 and she got back to completing this Paralympics . She’s won 2 golds , 1 silver and a bronze and possible more to come later. Inspirational as I’d say around 95% or more are . Having struggled with CFS/ME and resulting depression I can tell you that most athletes taking part have multiple issues beyond there most obvious ones. I’ve also luckily coached lots of disadvantaged athletes are you really can’t make light of there achievements . And there’s been full stadiums and venues for most events . Noise has been incredible and loads of brilliant races . Take the blinkers away ! -
