Mortgage free in order to sell a property??...my Thai family say yes...
Thank you for the info...regarding the 3 mil baht being returned to me...is there a way you could suggest to secure the repayment of the loaned money, like some sort of security or legal paperwork to document the money trail that would hold up in court if it came to that...sure hope you'll get back to me on this...thanks again -

Crime Drunken Foreign Tourists Assault Thai Woman, Locals Step In with Brutal Response
Thank you Malcolm, you're right, I stand corrected. They wanted to hunt s**t tourists with slingshots for breaking curfew and not wearing masks. Later they also targeted foreigners on scooters not wearing helmets. https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/facebook-page-advocates-violence-against-<deleted>-tourists-in-phuket -

Three U.S. ex-presidents denounce the current one in a two-week stretch
Indeed. The whole SS program is a cash flow entity -- pay-as-you-go with collected cash; any surplus cash is loaned to the Treasury to buy aircraft carriers, in exchange for an IOU; money from taxes collected on SS benefits paid also go to the Treasury, in exchange for an IOU. And interest on this whole conglomeration in the Trust fund is credited annually to the Trust fund -- solely as IOUs. This whole thing is an accounting entity. Thus, with IOUs from interest, the Trust fund has a positive balance that says the Fund was solvent until 2021. But it's IOUs -- NOT cash -- that allowed for this accounting picture. Thus, the Fund went broke in 2010, when cash out exceeded cash in. Simple. So, don't let the accounting slight-of-hand lead you astray: IOUs are not the same as cash. Actually, we could discard the whole Trust Fund concept -- again, it's only an accounting gimmick, so we can see the comparison of cash taxes collected against cash benefit payouts. Why not just have SS as a line item on the annual Congressional budget -- to be covered, like all the other line items, with general tax collections. Then, if there's an overrun in outlays -- like what usually happens with most line items in a Congressional budget -- eat the overrun, like you'd do with F-35s -- and then just add that to all the others, in the annual budget overrun figure (and kick the can down the road, like we always have -- why make SS any different from any other "must pay" govt programs....?) -

You are the one making false claims. That you have read the comments section and that there is no reference to Israelis or Jews. I am not claiming to personally know if they were Israelis or not. I am just saying that I read it in the comments section. If Richard takes me up on my offer I will post the screen shots. If he doesn’t then read them yourself. -

US Pushes Forward with Private Aid Plan for Gaza Amid UN Opposition
The same UN who claimed 14,000 babies could die within 48 hours in Gaza if aid was not allowed in? "Hamas attacked queues of people waiting to receive aid from the American company in Gaza ... while on social media, Hamas threatens and incites against those who receive American aid." An eye witness to tragedy in southern Gaza speaks out. https://x.com/PeaceComCenter/status/1929623084375413216 -

So Long And Thanks For All The Fish - Ukraine bombs Russian Nuclear Bombers
simple or very simple, Putin to pack and go back where he came from, he's not welcomed in Ukraine and was never invited to go, assuming you have some friends/relatives/acquaintances and you show up at their place(s) uninvited, they will tell you and will show you (by their actions) that you are not welcomed, what will you do, impose yourself by force, maybe killing all of them or the majority of them or will you leave and go back to you home
