Teenage German tourists handcuffed and deported from Hawaii over ‘suspicious’ hotel booking
Not to mention that crap like this has happened under every administration. But when it wasn't Trump's term, it was widely ignored. -

Is This Going to Happen
If ever they do it will certainly empty out the expat community. If the intention is to get more money into Thai banks it will backfire. -

PM Hun Manet Inaugurates the Kampot International Tourist Port
KT Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet has officially opened the Kampot International Tourist Port, using the occasion to deliver pointed remarks on tourism, foreign relations, and national unity. Speaking at the ceremony in Kampot, the PM hailed the new port as a milestone in regional tourism development. The facility, built with support from the Asian Development Bank, is part of a broader initiative to boost inclusive growth across the Greater Mekong Subregion. Although full international connectivity has not yet been achieved, Hun Manet emphasised the port’s success in promoting travel to popular Cambodian islands such as Koh Rong and Koh Sdach. “This is a step forward in connecting Cambodia’s coastlines with the world,” he said, noting that trial operations have already driven an uptick in tourist arrivals to the region. Beyond infrastructure, Hun Manet used his platform to respond to critics and defend Cambodia’s diplomatic approach—particularly in relation to China. He questioned those who rely on Chinese-funded infrastructure or work in Chinese-invested factories but still harbour negative views of Beijing. “Our relationship with China is based on mutual respect and the rule of law,” he said, stressing that Cambodia’s foreign policy is independent and inclusive. He pointed to Chinese President Xi Jinping’s upcoming visit as evidence of strong bilateral ties, while also reaffirming that Cambodia considers both China and the United States as valued partners. “We choose cooperation, not confrontation,” he said, highlighting China’s $28 billion investment in the US last year as proof of its global engagement. Turning to recent domestic criticism, the PM rejected claims that the government failed to promote Khmer culture during the New Year celebrations. “Many cultural programmes were organised,” he said, defending the government's efforts to uphold national traditions. In closing, Hun Manet reaffirmed his government’s commitment to continuous improvement: “We are not perfect, but we strive to build on what we’ve achieved—for the benefit of our people.” The dual focus on national development and balanced diplomacy underscores Cambodia’s current path: one that seeks progress at home while maintaining careful friendships abroad. -2025-04-22 -

Douglas Murray’s War of Ideas: Culture, Conflict, and the Future of the West
A mistake? quite a large one then, making such unsubstantiated claims over a video that never even had Murray in it. -

Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat
This man is an absolute clown, and having him run the dept. of defense is such a joke, and a huge disservice to veterans and soldiers. He is qualified to run the Boy Scout chapter of San Diego County and even that would be a stretch.
