A Quiet Enigma: The Elusive Presence of Melania Trump in the White House
"In the first hundred days she has quadruple her net worth..." Got anything empirical to support that claim? "...your son is net worth millions or 1 billion..." Got anything to support that claim, also? "...Trump is about money he’s made over $4 billion in the first hundred days". Doubtless you have nothing to back up that claim, either. But, even if it were true - so what? Name any President, or family member, in recent comparable times that has not benefitted financially from the position. -

Politics Up to 60 Thai Senators Face Disqualification Over Vote-Rigging Allegations
I initially wondered how Bhumjaithai could have managed to get so many Senators from an selection process well controlled by the yellow-green network (they are certainly not the only ones who could be corrupt, so it cannot be the main reason). The explanation I got is that, as the ex-Junta's parties were too discredited, the yellow-green network switched to Bhumjaithai as the main party to defend its interests. If true, they shouldn't be too annoyed by courts. But then it also depends in which direction stratospheric winds are blowing.... It should be remembered that the Organic Act on the Installation of Senators does not prohibit vote swapping since the Senate election system requires the candidates to vote among themselves and encouraging other candidates to vote reciprocally is not considered illegal. Instead, the election system is inherently designed for vote swapping among the candidates. So it needs to be proven in court that those votes were made in exchange for a benefit (ex. Money or position). Another important issue is what happens if they are convicted. Replace them by BJT people on the reserve list, or nullify the whole election? If they are just replaced, it would be a good compromise for BJT, allowing to officially dislodge corruption, while keeping BJT's influence intact. It would be coherent with Anutin distancing himself from the 60 Senators (actually, he may get rid of competitors, so it may be beneficial for him) -

Does the world need a pope?
Plenty of people who don't believe in the invisible, omnipotent, all powerful creator that function perfectly well in civil society and are in no need of a book telling them what they should or shouldn't do. -

Fears of Unrest in UK as India-Pakistan Tensions Spark London Embassy Protest
London is centre of political power, the largest centre of population and has the largest concentration of minorities. It would be a surprise if London wasn't the epicentre for demonstrations in the UK.
