BREAKING NEWS Trump Declares 'Complete and Total' Ceasefire Between Israel and Iran After '12 Day War'
Don't let Facts get in the way of your praise for the orange clown..... First of all, former President Barack Obama didn’t give “150 billion in cash” to Iran. The nuclear agreement included China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union, so Obama didn’t carry out any part of it on his own. The deal did lift some sanctions, which lifted a freeze on Iran’s assets that were held largely in foreign, not U.S., banks. And, to be clear, the money that was unfrozen belonged to Iran. It had only been made inaccessible by sanctions aimed at crippling the country’s nuclear program. https://www.factcheck.org/2019/03/obama-didnt-give-iran-150-billion-in-cash/ And this is a more likely accurate scenario........ -

Traffic Pattaya Police Crack Down on Roadside Vendors Amid Traffic Chaos
Pictures courtesy of Pattaya Mail In a bid to tackle mounting traffic issues, Pattaya's traffic police have launched a significant crackdown on roadside vendors, especially focusing on the three-wheeled food and merchandise carts that often obstruct busy streets. The operation primarily targets areas like Pattaya Beach Road and various congested side alleys. Facing nightly gridlock, police are stepping up their efforts to improve safety and ease congestion for both drivers and pedestrians. This initiative came into full swing on Sunday, when Police Lieutenant Colonel Phanupong Nimsuwann led a team of traffic officers in a decisive sweep against vendors obstructing roadways. The operation included stopping vendors, checking identification, and issuing on-the-spot fines for those breaking the law. This approach underscores the police department’s no-nonsense stance on addressing the traffic disruptions caused by these vendors. The crackdown has sparked mixed reactions among residents. Many locals and business proprietors cheer the enforcement, citing their daily frustration with vendors who block narrow streets and emergency routes. A local resident expressed, "Clearing out Soi Bua Khao and Naklua would be a huge relief. Those sidecar trucks park indiscriminately, hindering movement for everyone." Frustrated social media users also chimed in, blaming roadside stalls for exacerbating traffic jams and reducing parking in areas like Soi 6 and Jomtien. Yet, there's also significant empathy towards the vendors. For many, these roadside stalls are their main source of income, sparking debate over the impact of stringent enforcement on their livelihoods. Comments such as "Fine them but don't take away their means to support their families" emphasize the complex social dynamics at play. Concerns have also been raised regarding inconsistent enforcement. Some residents claim discrepancies, with certain vendors, possibly foreigners, seemingly evading fines, while Thai vendors face stricter penalties. There are also calls to address illegal vendors from neighbouring countries like Cambodia and Vietnam, further complicating matters. To address the situation, practical solutions such as designated vendor zones and regulated vending hours have been suggested. These ideas aim to allow vendors to operate without causing significant traffic hindrances. Additionally, residents have proposed tackling issues like poorly managed parking by delivery vehicles and motorbikes, which add to the street chaos. Pattaya's police stress that their primary goal remains ensuring public safety and smooth traffic flow. They remind vendors and drivers alike that blocking roads, double-parking, and setting up stalls in prohibited areas are illegal activities that will attract fines or lead to confiscation of goods. As Pattaya's profile rises as a tourist destination, local authorities remain committed to finding a balance between supporting local vendors and maintaining public order, ensuring the city remains vibrant and accessible for everyone.
