How to catch a gecko?
A cockroach got in! Fortunately, it was easy to kill. Just one whack. But keeping windows open is a bad idea. But the geckos may be able to get in through cracks anyway. -

Is it possible to rehabilitate a bargirl back into polite society?
Well, just read a story about a Brit who got knocked off by his bargirl gf and her Thai bf. She was 30 years younger. So in some rare cases, they get tired of waiting for you to die and accelerate the process. Personally, I don't want to be with a woman who is waiting for me to die. -

UK Kneecap band member in court facing terror charge
Kneecap Band Member Faces Terror Charge Over Flag Display as Supporters Rally Outside Court A member of the Belfast-based rap group Kneecap appeared in court on Wednesday to face a terror-related charge stemming from an incident during one of the band’s concerts in November 2024. Liam O’Hanna, who performs under the name Mo Chara, is accused of displaying a Hezbollah flag at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, in a manner that allegedly indicated support for the proscribed organisation. As O’Hanna, 27, arrived at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, a group of supporters gathered outside, many wearing balaclavas and waving a combination of Palestinian and Kneecap flags. The scene grew tense when a pro-Israel protester approached the group draped in an Israeli flag, leading to a chorus of boos, angry shouts of “free Palestine,” and swearing from the crowd. Police quickly intervened to remove the counter-protester. The charge against O’Hanna specifically alleges that he displayed the Hezbollah flag in a public setting “in such a way or in such circumstances as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he is a supporter of a proscribed organisation,” which in this case refers to Hezbollah, banned in its entirety in the United Kingdom. The group has denounced the prosecution, calling it politically motivated and a form of harassment. In a statement posted Tuesday night on X, formerly Twitter, Kneecap referred to the case as a “witch hunt.” The post featured a video of a London billboard with the message: “more blacks, more dogs, more Irish, Mo Chara,” appearing to draw parallels between historic discrimination and their current legal troubles. According to the Metropolitan Police, O’Hanna was charged following an investigation that began after a video from the concert surfaced online. The footage reportedly showed the controversial moment when the flag was allegedly displayed. Prior to this, the police had already confirmed that Kneecap was under investigation after clips from the same performance circulated online appearing to show members of the band shouting “up Hamas, up Hezbollah” and calling for the deaths of Members of Parliament. In response to the allegations, Kneecap has stated unequivocally that they “never supported” Hamas or Hezbollah. Both groups are designated as terrorist organisations by the UK government, and public expressions of support for them can be prosecuted under counter-terrorism laws. The case has sparked debate around artistic expression, political dissent, and the limits of free speech in the UK. While supporters of the band view the charges as an overreach and a form of political suppression, authorities maintain that the investigation was initiated in accordance with the law after concerns were raised over potentially inflammatory and illegal conduct during a public event. O’Hanna has not yet entered a plea, and the case is expected to return to court in the coming weeks. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Telegraph 2025-06-19 -

USA White House Blasts Jim Acosta Over Joke About Trump’s Late Ex-Wife
White House Blasts Jim Acosta Over Joke About Trump’s Late Ex-Wife Former CNN correspondent Jim Acosta is facing intense backlash after making controversial remarks about President Donald Trump’s late ex-wife, Ivana Trump, during a podcast appearance. In a recent episode of “The Contrarian” podcast hosted by Jennifer Rubin, Acosta made light of Ivana’s burial site and accused Trump of hypocrisy on immigration, drawing swift condemnation from the White House. Acosta criticized Trump’s record on immigration enforcement, especially his past support for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. He questioned why ICE has not targeted Trump’s properties, suggesting undocumented immigrants could be employed there. “Where are the ICE raids at the Trump properties? Could somebody call ICE on the Trump golf course in Virginia? You’re telling me there’s nobody in there that is undocumented or has some kind of squirreliness going on with their paperwork?” Acosta asked during the show. He went further, referencing Trump’s relationships with immigrant women, including Ivana, who died in 2022. “How many immigrants has he married? He’s got one buried at his golf course in New Jersey! Isn’t she buried by the first hole or the second tee or something like that?” he quipped, prompting laughter from Rubin and fellow guest April Ryan. Ivana Trump, mother to Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric Trump, is buried at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. The White House responded strongly. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital, “Jim Acosta is a disgraceful human being.” Acosta, known for his contentious relationship with the Trump administration while at CNN, left the network in January. Throughout Trump’s first term, Acosta became one of his most outspoken critics, often blending editorial commentary with news reporting. Since going independent, his tone has remained combative, particularly on issues like immigration and civil rights. His latest remarks come as immigration enforcement efforts have ignited political turmoil in Los Angeles. ICE raids across the sanctuary city have sparked widespread protests, leading to hundreds of arrests. The Los Angeles Police Department reports 575 individuals have been arrested since the first weekend of demonstrations. Violent clashes between protesters and law enforcement have resulted in significant property damage, including vehicles set ablaze and fireworks launched at police. As of Monday, ten law enforcement officers have sustained injuries, according to the LAPD. In such a charged atmosphere, Acosta’s comments have added fuel to the fire. While supporters argue he is using satire to expose double standards, critics see his remarks as deeply disrespectful, especially toward Ivana Trump, who passed away less than three years ago. As the political climate remains volatile and immigration continues to dominate headlines, the fallout from Acosta’s remarks underscores the deeply personal and partisan nature of the current national debate.
