Not only is California hemorrhaging businesses to other states, not only are our gas and utility prices DOUBLE the national averages, but our utility companies have killed over 130 people in wildfires since Newsom was elected, and destroyed nearly 30,000 homes.
If that weren't bad enough, hundreds more people have died from inhaling toxic dust from the burned up solar panels, EVs, and other "clean" energy tech that burned up in these fires...even when a utility company didn't start the fire, we still have residents dying as a direct result of Newsom's energy policies.
In the Palisades, even though LADWP didn't start the fire, hundreds (if not thousands) of homes burned unnecessarily because they failed to de-energize the power poles, and the downed lines sparked new spot fires outside of the fire control lines and fire perimeter, outflanking the firefighters. Our energy policy in California is absolutely insane.
These Japanese dudes visit the United States and...
THAT'S RIGHT, they visit the MECCA of AMERICA, Bass Pro Shop!
Japan is our greatest ally.
Americans look at Japan and see discipline, craftsmanship, clean cities, insane food, great cars, respect for tradition, and people who actually care about doing things right.
Japan looks at America and sees freedom, confidence, scale, creativity, individuality, muscle cars, baseball, denim, burgers, jazz, cowboys, and the whole larger than life thing.
And the cultural exchange goes unbelievably hard.
Japan took baseball, jeans, motorcycles and old-school Americana and made them their own. America took sushi, anime, Nintendo, Toyota, martial arts and Godzilla and basically said “yeah, we’re keeping all of this.”
There’s just mutual respect there.
The American cowboy and the Japanese samurai are obviously not the same thing, but there’s something familiar in both. Honor. Skill. Independence. Pride in your craft. Do the job right. Don’t be soft.
Two very different cultures on opposite sides of the world somehow became huge fans of each other.
Honestly, pretty awesome.
Who else loves Japan?
BREAKING: President Trump, alongside the leaders of Denmark and Greenland, just signed a historic deal establishing the United States' permanent strategic military control over Greenland.
.@POTUS greets Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in NYC: "It's an honor to be with her. She's a friend of mine. We've gotten to know each other very well over the last period of time... She's going to go down as one of the great Prime Ministers."
Gasoline in Brandon, Manitoba jumped to over $1.80/litre. A container of formula for my baby granddaughter is over $70.
You have built nothing. You have achieved nothing. Your promises to the Canadian people have amounted to nothing.
Talking points and endless announcements do not a Prime Minister make.
In 2016, Canada made MAID (euthanasia) available.
In 2024, over 16,000 Canadians (95% of whom were White Canadians) died through MAID, more than the number of gun homicides in the US.
This is terrifying.
