Crime Drug Smugglers Killed in Firefight with Paramilitary Forces in Chiang Mai
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Two suspected drug traffickers were shot dead in a fierce gun battle with paramilitary rangers during a dawn operation near the Thai-Myanmar border in Chiang Mai province. Authorities seized five backpacks containing more than 500,000 methamphetamine pills in the incident. The clash took place early morning on 23 May, in a remote forested area of Doi Laem, Village 13, Mae Ai District. Acting on intelligence that drug smugglers were planning to cross into Thailand from Myanmar, Major General Kidakorn Jantra, commander of the Pha Muang Task Force, ordered enhanced border surveillance and round-the-clock patrols. A unit of the 3207 Paramilitary Ranger Company, led by Captain Prakasit Probyon, was dispatched to conduct a foot patrol in the highland terrain. During the patrol, they encountered a group of 5–7 armed men carrying modified backpacks. The rangers attempted to intercept and search the group, but the suspects opened fire, sparking a 10-minute gunfight. Once the shooting stopped, the paramilitary team secured the area and reported the incident. A subsequent inspection, led by Colonel Maitree Srisantia, Chief of Staff of the Pha Muang Force, and Colonel Jakkrapong Sotsi, commander of the 3rd Army Region’s Paramilitary Command, revealed two bodies and five abandoned backpacks filled with a total of 500,000 methamphetamine tablets. The remaining smugglers managed to flee back across the border. Authorities are continuing to search the area and tighten surveillance along the border in an effort to prevent further incursions. The seized drugs have been handed over to investigators at Mae Ai Police Station for legal proceedings. The operation underscores the ongoing challenges Thailand faces in curbing the flow of narcotics from neighbouring countries, particularly through porous mountainous border regions.

Donald Trump Jr Hints at Possible Presidential Bid: ‘That Calling Is There’
Recall the 2018 midterms when a lot of the DT-alikes did poorly. The MAGA congregation loves their orange messiah, and isn't looking for a replacement. But still the comers think that projecting a mean and misanthropic demeanor will propel them to being the next DT -- e.g. Noem who figured telling about killing her dog in detail, emphasizing that the dog was smiling as she was aiming at it, as if that meant the dumb animal deserved it. And don't forget the guy from Florida in the Wellies and the rest of them. And then there is the nepo baby factor. Elvis Presley's daughter launched a singing career in the 1980s, she was expecting the reaction to be "oh wow! Elvis's daughter!!" but instead got "oh, and what do you have to say?" Something I think even the Dems have figured out at this point is that if there is a presidential election in 2028 the only way they can win is with a white male candidate. -

Trumps dinner party for the top 250 buyers of his crypto meme coin
His false Christian mouthpiece Karoline Leavitt has repeatedly and emphatically claimed he was "off the clock" and this was NOT official business. The SCOTUS ruling that made him king does NOT cover him when he is not in an official capacity, so he is fair game for any kind of investigations. The problem is the gutless, spineless Congress will only clutch their pearls and wring their hands. Oh, I forgot - they'll send sternly worded emails.
