Trump Fires USAID Inspector General Amid Reports of Misuse of Funds
If it were lies the dems would of filed separate suits for each offense.Instead they went progressive judge shopping , to stop the Executive branch oversight process over the executive branch. https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/02/at-usaid-waste-and-abuse-runs-deep/ Oversight Committee is bringing in the Witnesses that can verify the receipts! Most of these nay sayers are BBC, Guardian, MSNBC, CNN faithful followers. Hell & highwaters would never persuade them to believe the Marxist attempts of corruption. -

Could Canada Join the EU?
Certainly possible. Canada, the EU, the UK and China could form an Orwellian totalitarian alliance. After all, they seem in ideological lockstep wanting freedom of speech banned, draconian censorship and more unaccountable elites and leaders. Hopefully the US under Trump will be a shining beacon of freedom and success, so the well informed citizens of the above countries should have a lightbulb moment and slam on the anchors before they slip into full blown communism. -

Trump Fires USAID Inspector General Amid Reports of Misuse of Funds
I was working with a village group to dig a much needed canal for the village. They applied for aid of 100,000 from USAID. It took 6 months to be approved. In the week of the approval the Nai Amphur showed up in a brand new Mercedes to congratulate the villagers. Six months went by. When the money arrived at the Amphur it was only 1,200 baht. The Amphur officials used the money to have a teak sign saying that this canal was from the gracious grant from USAID. They had a big ceremony to erect the sign at the site. Only problem was there was no canal.- 1

60-day visa exemptions are now unlimited at land borders
Hi everybody, I flew from Germany with Thai Airways without any Visa to BKK Suvanabhumi Airport, with a returnflight 5 1/2 month in advanced, same as I did before for every winter on NonO Visa. (Before new regulations I fit with the NonO requirements, but now on the new rules my income is little bit lower, than requested now.) At the Airport i got ผ.60-ม.17 Visa exemption without any questions. Later i went to ChiangMai Immigration and got a 30day extension on Top. I plan to get next 60day Visa exemption on Lao Landborder, but i read and remember something scary like : „Only 15 days entry-stamp, if one had „no Visa before“ in the passport“. ( A visa exemption is „no visa“ in my guess, so, not sure … Just means, not need one. ) So, normally I would take a ChiangDao - ChiangKhong BigBike-Trip about 280km one direction, but i choose to ride the 750km (one direction) ChiangDao - NongKhai BigBike-Trip in two days. Just in case, I really do need a „real“ Tourist Visa from Vientiane, than I’m already there. ( one can do online, but have to pay cash in Vientiane Embassy, to start the process ! ) I went to the Thai embassy in Vientiane, (very empty by the way), and asked them „if I need to make a Tourist Visa here, or not“ . The younger IO not sure, asked back the older IO and than they told me „you get Visa at border“. So I relaxed two days in Vientiane and than leaved LaoPDR, and just got a new ผ.60-ม.17 Visa Exemption stamp at the Thai Border, without any questions. ( I carried 20.000 TBht cash and some copy’s just as preparations. ) I will do again a Visa Extension on top for the last visa-uncovered 10 days, I need until my return flight to Germany, on Monday. This is 60days Visa Exemptions + Visa Extensions 2 time, for a winter in Asia for nearly 6month. As a Fazit : NonO multiple entry is 175€, + 50 Dollar for Lao Visa 600km drivin one time, and one or two nights guesthouse. Tourist Visa multiple entry is also 175€, but 2 times Lao-Visa with 100 Dollar expenses and 2 times 600km-Trips and guesthouses expenses for that. 60day Visa Exemption is free 2 times, but Visa Extension is 1900TBht (50€) 2 times, + 50 Dollar for Lao Visa + driving 1500km one time. It need more time, more guesthouse, and is more adventures on the Road-Trip … regards, Frank
