Arguably the last #liberal Democratic president, #LyndonBJohnson launched his #GreatSociety on #ThisDayInHistory in 1964. Despite being weaker than #NewDeal era programmes, #LBJ's policies beat #FDR's by including Black Americans fully, and they cut the US #poverty rate in half.

Putin and Xi: Russian president’s China trip shows for the second time in a week how rapidly the world order is changing

Russia is clearly now the junior partner in its ‘no-limits friendship’ with China.

Turns out "Do fascists belong in prison" is a super easy litmus test to see if you're talking to a leftist or a liberal.

Chinese National Gets Banned By Thailand After Causing Damage At Suvarnabhumi Airport

Recently in Thailand, the authorities permanently banned a Chinese national who caused damage on two automated immigration gates at Suvarnabhumi Airport, according to a VnExpress news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of VnExpress. Some parts in boldface…

A Chinese tourist has been permanently banned from re-entering Thailand after allegedly damaging automated passport control gates at Suvarnabhumi Airport, Southeast Asia’s second largest airport by land area.

The 30-year-old man, identified as Zheng Liwei, was accused of vandalizing two automated immigration gates at the airport on Wednesday while attempting to clear passport control for a flight back to China, Bangkok Post reported.

According to reports, Zheng became increasingly agitated after repeatedly failing to complete the airport’s automated screening process.

Video footage circulating online appears to show him slamming his passport against the scanner before kicking the glass barriers and forcing his way through the checkpoint.

Immigration officers quickly intercepted the man after he allegedly crossed the gate without authorization, police told local media outlet The Nation.

Airport security officers, assisted by the man’s wife, later restrained him after he allegedly shouted abuse in both Chinese and English and attempted to assault immigration personnel.

He has been charged with property damage, an offense punishable by up to three years in prison, a fine of up to 60,000 baht (US$1,800), or both.

Zheng also faces a separate charge of insulting a public official while on duty, which carries a penalty of up to one year’s imprisonment, a fine of up to 20,000 baht, or both.

Thai immigration authorities have revoked his visa and placed him on a permanent blacklist, effectively banning him from re-entering the country.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the authorities in Thailand made the correct responses to the Chinese national? Did you ever witness a fellow foreign traveler causing trouble at an airport while you traveled overseas over the past six months? Have you ever been to Suvarnabhumi Airport?
