Sexually abused but cant remember

Thai police say they are supporting a new approach to drug abuse, following an anti-drug campaign event in Phuket yesterday. The deputy inspector general of Royal Thai Police said the campaign in Phuket’s town of Karon follows a nationwide shift in the country to get drug users treatment instead of jail time. Karon’s police chief said at the event that every police station in Thailand is to have a “sustainable community action project” to solve drug issues. Royal Thai Police Deputy Inspector Panurat Lakboon said that this year, programmes are being introduced in 1,483 communities across Thailand. Karon Police will focus on a particular area of the town for its community anti-drug campaign. Officers will visit every household in Baan Khok Chang to prepare to draft a Memorandum of Understanding on drug testing, according to Karon Police Chief Theerawat Liamsuwan. Theerawat said… “If there are no addicts in the community, there will be no suppliers. This will make the community … [Read more...] about Thai police say they support new approach to drug abuse in Phuket and beyond

In another monumental 6-3 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday eliminated the federal right to an abortion, striking down the protection granted by the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 and now leaving rights and regulations to states. advertisement advertisement The consequences of the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization will be severe, and in some cases, immediate: Many states have “trigger bans,” allowing abortion prohibitions to go into law right away. Other states intended to put into place bans after the decision was published, which was all but certain following a leak of the draft in May. But the consequences of the broad decision could be even more far-reaching than women’s rights to abortions, namely placing in danger the legal rights to contraception, same-sex marriage, and even private sexual relationships. The basis of the decision, in the opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito, was that the right to abortion … [Read more...] about This line in the Supreme Court abortion ruling signals gay marriage and contraception could be next

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Talking to kids about sexuality is a topic fraught with emotion for most parents. But when it comes to how to talk to kids of straight parents about the LGBTQ+ community, many adults tend to overcomplicate what can be a very straightforward conversation.

- A + A WASHINGTON (June 25): US President Joe Biden on Saturday (June 25) signed a bipartisan gun safety bill into law, the first major federal gun reform in three decades, days after the Supreme Court expanded gun rights. "This is a monumental day," Biden said at the White House, with his wife Jill by his side. "God willing, it's going to save a lot of lives." The Supreme Court on Thursday declared for the first time that the US Constitution protects an individual's right to carry a handgun in public for self-defence. Gun control has long been a divisive issue in the nation with several attempts to put new controls on gun sales failing time after time. The new legislation includes provisions to help states keep guns out of the hands of those deemed to be a danger to themselves or others and blocks gun sales to those convicted of abusing unmarried intimate partners. It does not ban sales of assault-style rifles or high-capacity magazines. The law does take some … [Read more...] about Biden signs bipartisan gun safety bill into law, takes swipe at Supreme Court

Do you easily get upset by people, things, or happenings around you? Remember, when you get UPSET, you have been SET UP by the evil one. —————— In today’s Gospel (Luke 9, 51-62), the disciples James and John were upset when the Samaritans did not welcome Jesus in their village. But instead of giving in to their anger, Jesus told them to just let go, and journey to another village. Yes, discipleship, following the Lord, is about letting go and letting God. —————— POSSESSIONS can possess us. The desire to get, to own, and to own more can imprison us and consume us, to the point that it can corrupt us and make us love things above people, above God Himself. At the end of our lives, may we not come before the Lord in shame that we chose to pursue money, worldly possessions, and positions, and forgot to honor Him and love our sisters and brothers. —————— PERSONS are gifts from God to cherish and to love, but in doing so, let us not forget the Giver of these gifts. We don’t … [Read more...] about Let go and let God

Martin Andanar Malacañang on Saturday said the “politicization that has infiltrated” the International Criminal Court (ICC) would be exposed if it allowed its Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan to resume the investigation of President Duterte’s bloody war on drugs. Acting presidential spokesperson Martin Andanar said the Philippine government was “exasperated” over Khan’s application to the tribunal’s Pre-Trial Chamber for authority to resume the probe even though it was the first time that the ICC prosecutor has made the request. Khan requested the authority to resume investigation on Friday after he found “no indication” that the Philippine government had investigated or was investigating police and government leadership conduct in the bloody war on drugs as the administration had promised when it asked that the probe be deferred. Khan’s office suspended its inquiry in November last year. Andanar insisted that the Duterte administration had been transparent in addressing the … [Read more...] about Palace sees ‘politicization’ in ICC prober’s push vs Duterte

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Even if Top Gun: Maverick ends up just below Elvis atop the domestic box office in its fifth weekend, it won’t be for a lack of trying. Paramount and Skydance’s $170 million action drama earned another $8.25 million on its fifth Friday, dropping 26% from last Friday for a new $499.472 million domestic cume. Tom Cruise’s legacy sequel is passing $500 million domestic by the end of this sentence. It’s looking like a $30.1 million fifth-weekend gross for the Joseph Kosinski-directed flick, which would be A) a drop of just 33% and B) the second or third-biggest fifth-weekend gross alongside Titanic ($30.1 million) and Avatar ($42 million). That brings its domestic cume to $521 million by Sunday night. Presuming a continued 53/47 domestic/overseas split and a thus-far solid opening weekend in South Korea, Top Gun: Maverick should end tomorrow night just over/under the $1 billion mark in global grosses.
