Why do so many Thai prostitutes marry their customers?
Well, because the desperate & dateless old bottom feeders wouldn’t be on the radar of decent, well presented educated women anywhere. So, they come to classless dumps like Pattaya & trawl for street whores. Beggars can’t be choosers. -

BREAKING NEWS Biden lifts restrictions on Ukraine using US weapons to strike deep inside Russia.
Unlike some on here I actually have a life outside a computer screen, and I spend far too much time on this one as it is. In fact I consider it a good thing not to be on twit thing or facethingy, as they are more social media than here and I am on record as saying social media is a very bad thing. -

Donald Trump Jr. Alleges Biden’s Actions Could Trigger World War III Before Trump’s Return
Donald Trump Jr. has accused President Joe Biden of escalating global tensions in a deliberate attempt to provoke a major conflict before his father, President-elect Donald Trump, takes office. The claim follows reports that Biden authorized Ukraine to use long-range U.S.-made ATACMS missiles, capable of striking targets within Russia, in its ongoing war with Moscow. In a Sunday tweet, Trump Jr. alleged that Biden’s decision reflects the interests of the "Military Industrial Complex," which, he argued, is intent on igniting "World War 3" before his father assumes power in January. “The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives,” Trump Jr. stated. President-elect Donald Trump has claimed he will end the war in Ukraine shortly after taking office but has yet to provide specific details about how he plans to achieve this ambitious goal. In contrast, Biden’s decision to greenlight Ukraine’s use of ATACMS missiles has reportedly been framed as a strategic deterrent. According to Bloomberg, Biden authorized the action in part to dissuade North Korea from sending additional troops to Russia, amid speculation that Pyongyang could deploy up to 100,000 troops to bolster Russia's war effort. The ATACMS missiles, with a range of approximately 190 miles, provide Ukraine with the ability to strike deeper into Russian territory than ever before. This decision underscores the Biden administration’s ongoing support for Ukraine, even as it draws sharp criticism from some U.S. politicians and international leaders. Biden’s approach appears focused on maintaining pressure on Moscow while addressing emerging threats from alliances like the one between Russia and North Korea. However, critics, including Trump Jr., contend that such measures could have far-reaching and potentially catastrophic consequences. Trump Jr.’s comments highlight the divide between the Biden administration’s strategy and the rhetoric from the incoming Trump presidency. While Biden appears committed to bolstering Ukraine’s military capabilities, President-elect Trump has emphasized his intention to pursue peace, albeit without offering specifics on his proposed approach. As global tensions rise, the stakes remain high. The U.S.’s actions in Ukraine, North Korea’s involvement, and Russia’s responses continue to shape a conflict that shows no immediate signs of resolution.

Exposed: TikTok Tutorials Reveal Fake Asylum Scams Targeting the UK
A disturbing investigation has uncovered how fraudulent asylum seekers exploit the UK's immigration system by falsely claiming to be from Eritrea, a war-torn East African country. Through brazen TikTok tutorials and other online platforms, individuals are openly coaching migrants to fabricate stories that secure them asylum in Britain, despite their true origins being far safer. The Mail's investigation reveals a growing network of thousands of individuals sharing resources on how to deceive Home Office officials. This includes detailed guides on Eritrean culture, geography, and traditions, designed to bolster false claims. The strategy exploits Eritrea’s exceptional 99% asylum approval rate, a figure driven by the nation’s reputation for severe human rights abuses. In one shocking instance, Ethiopian migrant Michaele Abraha, a London-based Uber driver, uses TikTok to boast about his asylum claim success. Abraha, who posts under the alias "Miki Abrere," openly admits he pretended to be Eritrean to gain refugee status in the UK. His account, with 16,000 followers, serves as a hub for guiding others in filing false asylum applications. Abraha's advice goes beyond cultural mimicry. He encourages migrants to claim they are minors to expedite their cases. In one TikTok session translated from Amharic, a language primarily spoken in Ethiopia, Abraha instructs viewers to "act like a child" by altering their behavior and appearance. For instance, he suggests allowing hair to grow longer to appear youthful and dressing in ways that might mislead authorities or hotel staff handling asylum seekers. Abraha also advises migrants on damage control if inconsistencies in their claims arise. In one instance, he reassures a migrant who feared exposure by suggesting they claim nervousness or miscommunication during interviews. Additionally, he recommends attending Eritrean community events and documenting interactions with Eritreans to lend credibility to their fabricated stories. Eritrea’s oppressive regime has earned the country the nickname "North Korea of Africa," due to policies like indefinite military conscription, forced labor, and systemic repression. This grim reality justifies the high asylum approval rate for genuine Eritrean refugees. However, Ethiopia, while not without its challenges, is significantly safer and even hosts over 800,000 refugees, many of them Eritreans fleeing their homeland. Robert Jenrick, the former Immigration Minister, described the findings as a "national security emergency." He criticized political opponents for not taking stronger measures to deter illegal migration, stating, "This is a national security emergency and the British public are rightly sick of it. It’s got to be stopped." The investigation identified multiple Ethiopians using similar deceptive methods. Some shared success stories in online communities, while others provided step-by-step guides, including how to destroy identifying documents and fabricate untraceable narratives. From 2010 to March 2024, nearly 35,000 asylum claims in the UK were attributed to Eritreans, a significant figure considering the country's population of 3.6 million. Between 2018 and 2024, Eritreans surpassed Syrians in approved asylum claims, despite Syria’s far larger population and ongoing civil war. Alp Mehmet, chairman of Migration Watch UK, criticized the laxity of the system, stating, "Make your way to the UK illegally, destroy anything that could identify you, make up a story that can’t be checked, and you’re home and dry. I dread to think how many in the backlog now being granted asylum or permission to stay have lied about who they are and where they’re from." The Home Office has pledged to investigate the allegations and revoke refugee status if it was obtained fraudulently. A spokesman emphasized, "We are fully committed to ensuring our asylum system is not open to abuse and protection is granted only to those who genuinely need it." Repeated attempts to contact Abraha for comment have gone unanswered. However, his TikTok activity and the growing network of similar schemes expose a critical vulnerability in the UK's asylum system, highlighting the urgent need for reform.

Neo-Nazis March in Ohio, Sparking Outrage and Condemnation
Columbus, Ohio, witnessed a disturbing display of hatred on Saturday as a group of masked neo-Nazis marched through the city streets carrying swastika-emblazoned flags and shouting slurs through megaphones. Videos circulating on social media captured the agitators—about a dozen men dressed in black and wearing red masks—parading through the Short North area, a popular arts and entertainment district, in the early afternoon. The Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism characterized the march as part of a growing trend of white supremacist displays across the United States over the past 18 months. Oren Segal, speaking to *The New York Times*, said, “At the end of the day, they want to create fear and anxiety in communities and get a photo op.” Ohio Governor Mike DeWine strongly condemned the march, taking to social media to denounce the actions of the group. “We will not tolerate hate in Ohio,” he stated. “Neo-Nazis—their faces hidden behind red masks—roamed streets in Columbus today, carrying Nazi flags and spewing vile and racist speech against people of color and Jews. There were reports that they were also espousing white power sentiments. There is no place in this state for hate, bigotry, antisemitism, or violence, and we must denounce it wherever we see it.” Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein also expressed his outrage, addressing the group directly in a statement shared on social media: “To those involved in the neo-Nazi march in the Short North today, take your flags and the masks you hide behind and go home and never come back. Your hate isn’t welcome in our city.” The march and the subsequent public backlash highlight ongoing concerns about the resurgence of white supremacist activity in the United States, raising questions about how best to address such displays of hate and protect communities from fear and division.

Kanye West Faces New Lawsuit Alleging Antisemitic Remarks and Exploitative Behavior
Kanye West, the rapper and producer also known as Ye, has been accused of making antisemitic remarks about his ex-wife Kim Kardashian in a lawsuit filed Thursday. The complaint alleges that West told an employee that Kardashian had “Jewish masters,” among other controversial statements. The plaintiff, Murphy Aficionado, began working as a project manager for West in October 2022. His role involved overseeing various construction projects. According to the lawsuit, Aficionado was not paid for his work during the first five months of his employment and was subjected to a hostile work environment. The suit claims West frequently delivered “racist lectures” and indulged in antisemitic conspiracy theories. Aficionado specifically alleges that West stated, “The Jews are out to get me. They froze my bank account. The Jews got Kim and my kids… The Jews convinced Kim. She has Jewish masters.” These comments, according to the suit, were part of a pattern of discriminatory and offensive behavior. The lawsuit also details other troubling incidents during Aficionado’s tenure. On two separate occasions, West allegedly left Aficionado waiting while he loudly engaged in sexual activity in a nearby room. Aficionado’s employment ended in July 2023 when he was informed that Donda Academy, a private school founded by West, would be shutting down. This lawsuit is one of several filed against West by former employees this year. In June, Lauren Pisciotta, a former assistant, accused him of sexual harassment and wrongful termination. Pisciotta later amended her lawsuit in October, alleging that West had drugged and sexually assaulted her without her consent. Additionally, a former “director of intelligence” employed by West sued him in October, claiming that he was tasked with investigating Kardashian and tracking West’s wife, Bianca Censori, while she was on vacation. These lawsuits paint a troubling picture of West’s alleged behavior, with accusations ranging from exploitation and harassment to antisemitic and offensive remarks. As legal proceedings continue, the claims against the rapper add to the controversies that have surrounded him in recent years. Based on a report by Variety 2024-11-19
