Surely trump must have diabetes
One of the symptoms of Diabetes is that minor wounds often take a very long time to heal. Given that the bullet wound to his ear, sustained in July last year, and requiring a dressing ( and of course an iconic "Iwo Jima" moment, quite remarkable for one who has just been shot!) appears to have healed within days, and left no scars, then one can conclude that he does not suffer from Diabetes. Indeed, the miraculous recovery is a strong testament to his robust constitution and the astonishing recuperative powers of Messrs McDonald's and Colonel Saunders! Perhaps, in view of their successful participation, the saluting Air Force personnel at the foot of the stairs could be replaced by a pair of those lifesize plastic figures which stand outside their restaurants, one for each character? We could perhaps pilot this scheme on his eagerly anticipated state visit to the UK! -

The Struggle for Supremacy: Can Trump Halt China’s Global Ascent?

China tells airlines to suspend Boeing jet deliveries
I sure as hell hope you weren’t teaching them economics or accounting. Taking a figure of USD1,000/mth means absolutely nothing by itself. In econs (and in real life too actually), there is something known as “cost of living”. In simple layman terms, if things in country A costs half as much as in country B, then a worker in country A will enjoy the same standard of living as a worker in country B even earning half the salary. I hope this is clear for you… -

Swede's Split-Second Distraction Triggers Buriram Accident
Picture courtesy of Khaosod A 65-year-old Swedish man miraculously walked away from a dramatic crash in Buriram after reaching for a fallen water bottle while driving. The accident rocked the Lahansai-Ban Kruad road on April 15th, turning a routine drive into a chaotic scene. The man, identified as “Mr. Mats,” was behind the wheel of a 2025 Toyota All New Hilux Champ when the vehicle suddenly overturned, slamming into and toppling a streetlight. Remarkably, Mr. Mats sustained only minor injuries—scratches on his arms and legs. Rescue workers arriving at the scene were met with resistance from the visibly shaken driver, who only calmed down once his Thai wife arrived to help translate and ease his nerves. She later explained that Mats, a long-term resident of Ban Sam Khoei in the Tachong sub-district, was simply heading home after dinner when the water bottle dropped near the pedals. Reaching down to grab it led to the vehicle losing control. His wife also noted that Mats may have reacted with distress due to lingering anxiety from a previous surgery, compounding the shock of the crash. Police Lieutenant Colonel Manop Thongphlapphla, the investigating officer, issued an important reminder: drivers should never reach for fallen items while the vehicle is in motion. “If something drops near the pedals, slow down, pull over, and stop the vehicle before retrieving it,” he urged. As for the damaged streetlight, repairs will be addressed in discussions with local authorities. The incident stands as a clear warning—minor distractions behind the wheel can lead to major consequences. Mr. Mats is lucky to have walked away with a story rather than a tragedy.
