  1. USS Fitzgerald collision: Trump criticised for leaving key posts unfilled

    Lack of navy secretary and ambassador to Japan could hamper communications in search for missing crew,

    says former official (sub-title)

     

    "Donald Trump has been criticised for delays in appointing a navy secretary and ambassador to Japan,

    leaving a communications vacuum as the countries continued their search for seven missing sailors off the east coast of Japan."

     

    "The US has been without an ambassador to Japan since Caroline Kennedy left Tokyo in January."

     

    "Brandon Friedman, a former Obama administration official and co-founder of the McPherson Square Group, a strategic communications firm in Washington, pointed to the absence of an ambassador and navy secretary – two officials who would be expected to take a lead in liaising between the US navy, and Japanese and US government officials during the search."

  2. I love it.

    More of that, please, dear government.

    The turning point against corruption and kickbacks is not far away.

    Yes.

    More of this.

    In an effort to instill confidence in the Thai populace,

    Let's start with investigating the head of the "government", the Chief of Police, (hand-picked by the head of the "government")

    And the head of the Army.

    Then, there may be turning point.

    Being impartial and all, would you not agree?

    Which begs the question. Were you happy with the last chief of police, the last Prime Minister or the last government? Speak up, give us your reasons.

    Are you more happy in the day or at night?

    How do like your eggs? Scrambled or sunny side up?

    Pointless as your begging question.

    Focus on hypocrisy.

    As I have stated on these boards several times, I could not care less about simplistic parlour talk such as yours.

    I could not care less about red, yellow, black, green or even saffron.

    Squabbling over colors.

    Perhaps, take a look at the bigger picture of human nature at play here.

    That's what I address.

    So, please don't try to drag me down to your petty, this guy that guy/girl did that nonsense.

    Were you happy...?

  3. "PM sees no reason to distrust junta appointees; general election"

    Of course he doesn't.

    But consider this Uncle Too;

    "to prevent them from "inheriting power" gained from the coup."

    "Prayut argued that if all of them are required to stay away from political office for two years, "there will be nobody to work". blink.png

    Spoken like a child.

    "The prime minister,... said that if the junta really wanted to remain in power after the new charter takes effect, "I will just not return the power."

    This guy is a real piece of work.

  4. "a 177:5 vote"

    Perhaps, look into the 5 who voted against it. laugh.png

    thumbsup.gif

    As another poster said above, all the committies, sub-committies and bills are worthless unless the laws are enforced.

    "...and comprise (sic) eight ministers and four experts appointed by the PM."

    The suspiciously wealthy ex-Army Chief is now an expert on Human Trafficking, appointing "experts"?

    Uncle Too, you wouldn't want to appear to be stacking the deck would you?

  6. Once again the silly ones got in quick, without reading the OP, certainly not understanding it if they did read it, try again :

    She said that several companies, both local and foreign, have expressed their interests in the aged grains for use in various industries.

    "For use in various industries"

    Does that equate to using it for human consumption ?

    It is actually good to see that there will be someone who wants to pay for what remains after the edible stuff is gone.

    The price will be low but nothing can be done about that now for the spoilage has been caused by poor storage conditions.

    The sooner it is all gone the better for warehouse rental costs are still mounting.

    I, for one, always read the entire article.

    Only a fool would comment otherwise.

    The fact remains, and there is no way getting around it, they are selling rancid, "degenerate" garbage.

    And, BTW, those "various industries" work their way up the food chain.

    To you.

    Bon Appetit'

  7. everyone knows that thai journalists are absolutely pathetic when it comes to good reporting, they wouldnt know the truth/facts if it bit them on the bum and the fact that they make up their own stories when there is nothing interesting to report is enough to back what he has stated. Would be good to actually read a decent report and the truth instead of the crap we get now.

    Yes.

    The good reporting is few and far between.

    But, you have to remember, these people are taught to live on their knees. whistling.gif

    Now this, is a great report as far as I am concerned.

    http://www.nationmultimedia.com/opinion/The-emperor-has-few-clothes-30255214.html

    And I hope to see more of it.

  8. "Earlier yesterday commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau also came out to deny the gambling den was operating at the time of the raid,

    insisting it was shut and no activities were there since it was last raided and closed four years ago."

    "...he said the gambling den was there but there was no activities."

    Interesting that the suspiciously wealthy Police Chief Somyot's name becomes obscured.

    No mention of him by name in this article while quoting him several times. wai2.gifwai.gif

  9. Uncle Too pondered:

    Can we go back in time and revive more of the Thai capital’s canals as transportation routes?

    BMA responded:

    No. You silly fool.

    Canals definitely cannot be transportation routes 365 days a year.

    Dissapointed, Uncle Too offered:

    If canals spring back as major transportation channels, trade and houses can be expected to blossom along the way too!

    And therein lies the moral of the story kids.

    I didn't really want to say up front we were evicting the poor people from the canals so that my HiSo friends can "develop" them, Uncle Too continued.

    Please, “Love me just a little, but love me for long time…”

    Uncle Too smiled his lizard grin, waved and went back to dream of his reactionary "reality".

  10. ^^^ Damn. Beat me to it.

    But what can you expect from the Ministry of Propaganda; NNT.

    "Deputy PM and Foreign Affairs Minister Supreme Commander General Thanasak Pratimakorn"

    Must be a large business card.

    "the registration of 1.6 million alien workers"

    Diversionary tactic.

    How about dragging the network operators out of the shadows?

    You know, "the influentials"?

    whistling.gif

    "the treatment of illegal workers" and how they were TRAFFICKED here are two separate issues.

    The later never seems to be addressed...

  11. Here we go again,,,,

    "the democracy trap"

    "if it's unacceptable then people can not co-exist. it's up to them if they don't want to stay in their country"

    So costas, djjamie, Halloween, and the others that can't see the woods from the trees, HOW YA GONNA SPIN THIS? or will you do as you guy's normally do when faced with the irretrievable stay in the back ground and wait till the dust settles then come back crying Thaksin this Yingluck that PTP and RED'S whatever,,,,, w00t.gif

    Bet they wont be here claiming all is just fine and dandy for quite a while.

    It appears, the wind (hot air) has left their sails.

    laugh.png

    Or, perhaps even they tire of their Spam-like, one-dimensional, boot licking, repetitive rhetoric.

    Especially when this autocrat general continues to exhibit and embrace, the dark side.

  12. "Vendors have stated that the new streets did not have nearly enough foot traffic as Khlong Thom."

    Or, did it cross their simple minds that:

    #1 There is more foot traffic because the arrogant sellers have blocked 9 streets to traffic?

    #2 There is more foot traffic because people come there to shop?

    "Rent concerns were also stated as prices are much higher than in the famous market."

    Stop bitching. Party over.

    Organise and move.

    The same shoppers who enjoy your cheap junk will follow you.

  13. "This is attributed to the slash-and-burn farming"

    "intensified air pollution caused by forest fire, slash-and-burn farming, and the wide-spread burning of garbage, weeds and paddy stumps"

    "Forest encroachers are known to have set forest fire in order to divert the attention of forest rangers"

    "Chiang Mai residents and visitors have been advised to put on face masks." wai2.gif wai.gif

    Carry on. Nothing to see here folks just put on your face masks.

    Hey, how about enforcing regulations to fight the "haze"?
