Qs--concerning Daw Suu--which I posted onJames Shwe's Linked in site.
Why do you think they are doing this? Of course junta is never kind to anyone.
What do they want from Thailand? Who is doing the negotiating?
Why was ICRC rep not allowed to bring in its own medical doctor to examine Daw Suu?
Was the rep himself a doctor--lots of ??????????????--couldn't he even use a stethoscope, take her pulse or blood pressure and feel her for head?
What is the white thing on her head? Is it a bandage?
What conditions did he sign on to?
For once junta should show it is humane, drop the charges. Deport her back to UK?
How much is the country in debt already due to massive arms and hardware purchases?
To which countries? Russia? China? Belarus?
What is the US $ to kyat exchange rate right now?
From 27year sentence, can time she served already--2021 to 2026=5 years be deducted?
That will still mean 22 years left.
Since she's now 81+22=103--age she will be till sentence ends?
They meant her to die--
why sudden change--which countries are pressuring?
End of Qs for now.

Bad news-this poor man, Dr. Anthony Fauci, a renowned scientist, is being hounded--
From the Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/06/fauci-senate-contempt-vote-covid?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us
Fauci’s lawyers have argued that he is on unassailable legal grounds by pleading the amendment.
“For years, Senator Paul has proclaimed to anyone who would listen that Dr Fauci should be prosecuted and put in prison,” Schertler, Fauci’s legal counsel, said on Thursday. “Dr Fauci has committed no crime – and Senator Paul knows it.
“Today’s resolution is a continuation of Senator Paul’s personal vendetta against Dr Fauci, who spent 50 years in public health and has saved countless lives. It is shameful and wrong that Senator Paul is abusing his power by trying to weaponize the justice department against an honorable public servant.”

hmm--from wiki--Axos is a trump enabling bank--don't put your money there--don't buy their CDs
Lending practices
The bank has made larger loans to wealthy individuals that other banks have turned down, albeit at higher interest rates.[25]
The company made a total of $400 million in loans to Donald Trump and is one of his largest lenders.[26] In March 2022, Axos funded a $100 million mortgage loan secured by Trump Tower.[27][28] The company also financed Trump National Doral Miami.[26]
As of June 30, 2025, approximately 28.7% of the company's loans were secured by properties in Southern California, 7.1% were secured by properties in Northern California, 28.2% were secured by properties in New York, 12.0% were secured by properties in Florida, and 5.5% were secured by properties in Texas.[2]

Medical personnel lose confidence inTrunp's CDC--
Public trust in the CDC has hit bumps in the road during infectious disease outbreaks, but for medical professionals, Snyder said, “the CDC used to be, worldwide, the most trusted source of information pertaining to public health and infectious disease.”
https://political.org/2026/07/30/pediatricians-sidestep-trumps-cdc-on-vaccine-advice-as-dr-john-snyder-and-colleagues-build-alternatives/
Yet even doctors began losing trust, Snyder said, after Donald Trump was elected president again. Trump quickly tapped longtime anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the CDC.
Within months of his confirmation as secretary, Kennedy had dismissed every member of the CDC’s vaccine advisory board and replaced them with new appointees, some of them prominent vaccine skeptics.
“It turned into a completely unreputable source of information,” Snyder said.

USD 14m plus of taxpayer money wasted--see below--part ii--they tried to go affter Olympian David Hearn but--
Trump met with both Pirro and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum at the White House on Monday afternoon, a person familiar with the meeting told CNN. Others were also present at the meeting.
Pirro was not fired at the White House meeting and did not resign either, according to sources.
Her office in a court filing last week directly blamed other federal agencies, including the Interior Department, for not being forthcoming with information about the bungled renovation.
The Justice Department acknowledged in the court filing on Friday that the president’s $14 million renovation of the Reflecting Pool was “hasty and botched” and said it was dropping the criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn, who was accused of vandalizing the landmark. Hearn previously pleaded not guilty to the felony charge in DC’s Superior Court.
Trump furious with his own hire Jeanine Pirro for filing--reflecting pool--(i)--CNN copy and paste
President Donald Trump is considering removing Jeanine Pirro, the US attorney for the District of Columbia, over a Justice Department conclusion that problems with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool stemmed from a flawed renovation rather than vandalism, two people familiar with his thinking told CNN.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/furious-trump-is-considering-removing-pirro-over-reflecting-pool-filing-sources-say/ar-AA29k1HM?ocid=BingNewsSerp
The president is “furious” with Pirro, one of the sources said, telling CNN that he fumed about her all weekend. They added that based on his criticisms of her, they find it “highly likely she’s removed from her job.”
The other source, a senior administration official, said Trump was “blindsided” by the court filing from Pirro, a longtime ally. “The president did not know beforehand that she was going to do that.”
CNN has reached out to Pirro’s office and the Justice Department for comment. The White House directed CNN to the president’s prior comments on the filing and did not comment on the substance of the reporting.
“Frankly, I think she choked, because the judge was really vicious. Instead of going after the people that did it, the judge went after her and went after her department, and I guess she choked,” Trump said during an unrelated Oval Office event Monday.
“I was disappointed in Jeanine Pirro. Really disappointed in Jeanine Pirro,” he added. “She folded like an umbrella.”
