Spain plans 100% tax for homes bought by non-EU residents!
Immediate response is…... how do you stop proxy buying?…..people always (the rich at least) find a way around these types of laws/restrictions. In principle I think the idea of preventing property inflation is a good thing. -

Jack Smith insists Trump WOULD have been convicted of election interference
I guess the money not paid out to illegal immigrants that will be deported could be spun as a cut to welfare. -

Thailand Opts for Gripen Jets Over F-16s in Defence Upgrade
Neither is particularly cheap, but the Gripen is more expensive to buy. New aircraft today cost around $70 million Having been in production for so long, F-16 prices have, of course, changed a lot over the years. According to analysis from Executive Flyers, the early F-16A and F-16B variants (single and dual seat, respectively) sold in the early 1980s for around $13 million. The later improved F-16C and F-16D variants sold for just under $20 million. Coming to more recent variants, the F-16E and F-16F have a starting price of around $25 to $30 million, but improvements and equipment can take this up to $60 to $70 million. The Saab JAS 39 Gripen fighter jet costs around $85 million. Explanation The Gripen E is the latest variant of the Gripen fighter jet. The Gripen E is more expensive than previous variants. The Gripen is a non-stealth fourth-generation fighter jet. The Gripen is popular with smaller countries like Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Thailand. The Gripen was originally designed to protect Sweden from Russia during the Cold War. Where the Gripen gains over the F16 is the flying costs per hour. The Gripen fighter jet costs around $4,500–$9,922 per flight hour, depending on the model and inflation. This is cheaper than other Western jets, such as the F-16 and F-35. The cost of flying an F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jet per hour is around $22,000 to $26,927. This cost includes more than just fuel. -

Trump would have been convicted of election interference, DoJ report says
DOJ says Trump would have been convicted. Reminds me of Sol Wachtler's famous quote: A prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. (I'm paraphrasing). I have no doubt that a jury in 97% Democrat Washington DC would convict Trump. And thousands of potential jurors would give their eyeteeth to be on the jury that stopped the Bad Orange Man. In any number of Blue venues. -

Fresh Details Emerge in Irish Diver’s Mysterious Demise on Death Island
As much as I have sympathy with the family at their loss I question the cost of repatriation.Homeland International quotes the following on line:Cost between £2000 and £20000 but average is £3000-£6000. Ashes~£1000- £3000. Repatriation of a patient is £200-£300 per mile. There are now a number of families using GoFundMe asking for in excess of £30000. -

400.000 Baht disappeared, a story of BKK Bank, SCB and Advice IT
My on-line banking (Bank of Ayudhya) sends a OTP to my phone which is registered with them. Money cannot be transferred without that password. Three false attempts and the transaction is stopped. Who do you bank with?
