Bill Clinton denies visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s private island
Many men in the public have made the same claim, including Donald Trump, and I don't believe for a nanosecond that he didn't visit that island. We certainly know that he visited the mansion on many occasions, and then he was good friends with Epstein. -

I very long prison term, taking her past her own childbearing years with a lifetime ban from being in any unsupervised proximity to children would be a fitting sentence. -

Father and Daughter Killed, Son Critically Injured in Pickup Truck Crash
It sounds like pure recklessness, taking his eyes off the road, playing with his phone, driving too fast, or just driving without a significant enough skill set. Sometimes people lose sight of the fact that they're driving with their family in the car and they have an additional responsibility to protect those people they are safeguarded with protecting. And why are these drivers speeding and driving recklessly in the first place? The primary reason is the toy police force. Nobody, and I mean nobody takes these guys seriously. There is absolutely nothing in the way of a deterrent here, and both the local governments, the central government and the police do not take traffic safety seriously. Not even one iota. The safety of the public means less than zero to the small men in charge here. Nothing. They show that on a daily basis. They will not do a thing. Why? They do not care about the people one iota. Not the common people. Not the average pleb. No way. Never have cared, and may never care in the future. It is all about protecting the elite, the super wealthy, those that are connected, and those in power. The rest of the population? They do not matter. The ex-pat community does not matter. And the police will not get involved unless an accident has already occurred. There is no prevention. None. The idea of getting the police more involved, is an interesting one, and it would be an effective one. But, the issue is money. They are grossly underpaid, and until the government steps up, and spends the trillion baht on updating the police equipment, and paying each cop a living wage, it is not going to happen. Until then, they will just work the franchise. The only way to survive here on the road, is to be patient, have eyes in the back of your head, drive with caution, and always, and I mean always watch out of the other guy. Chances are, he does not have much driving skill, nor patience, nor reason, nor common sense. You cannot be too careful on the road here. Especially considering that the toy police offer no traffic safety, prevention, enforcement of the law, or concern toward the prosecution of very reckless drivers. -
