[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯 @japan_nobunaga]

I'm Japanese. Watching your midterm results roll in on Tuesday night broke my heart.

Republicans lost ground. A wave of Muslim and radical leftists just won seats across your country.

Since Tuesday, my American friends keep asking me the same question.

How did Japan stay Japan?

In Tokyo, trains leave on the exact second.

Leave your phone on a cafe table, and it is still waiting an hour later. Every year, people in Tokyo turn in over 4 billion yen in lost cash to the police.

We didn't keep this by accident.

When warships forced Japan open in 1853, our ancestors made a vow. Japanese spirit, Western technique.

Take the steel, the railways, and the factories. Leave the self-hatred at the dock.

After 1945, leftists tried to make us hate our history. We refused.

We never let guilt become a state religion the way your universities did. Nobody taught our kids that our ancestors were evil, or that the family was a crime.

Foreigners are still just 3 percent of Japan. When globalists called us closed, we didn't care. We went back to work.

A border isn't just a wall. It is a people who refuse to apologize for who they are.

But you need to hear the second half of our story before it is too late.

Japan kept its culture. Yet we are dying anyway.

In 1949, 2.7 million Japanese babies were born. Last year, it dropped below 700,000.

The left didn't do this to us. Weak conservatives did.

For thirty years, our politicians protected zombie corporations and old voters while crushing young working men. You cannot raise a family on a part-time contract.

When young Japanese stopped having kids, our rural towns simply went quiet and empty.

In America, empty spaces do not stay empty.

Your system priced young Americans out of homes, marriage, and children. Your schools taught them to be ashamed of their own heritage.

At the exact same time, you opened the gates.

You brought in millions from the Islamic world who do not share your values. They have big families, and they have zero intention of assimilating.

They do not apologize for their religion or their culture. They are fiercely proud of it. And they vote as a tribe.

Once that happens, elections stop being about tax cuts.

Elections become a headcount.

A proud culture that has children will always outvote and replace an aging culture that hates itself.

Look at Tuesday night's map. That isn't just a bad midterm cycle. That is your country slipping away in real time.

Stop letting spineless politicians sell out your young people for cheap foreign labor and corporate donors.

You don't save a nation just by praising the past.

You save it by locking the gates, fighting for your own young families, and having children to hand your country to.

[Nayib Bukele @nayibbukele]

Muchos mensajes, análisis y comentarios como este, asegurando que las pandillas de Haití no son como las de El Salvador; que son sanguinarias, que están fuertemente armadas, que nadie ha podido vencerlas, que todas las misiones han fracasado, que estamos cayendo en una trampa, que no sabemos a lo que nos enfrentamos, que será nuestra ruina, que vamos camino a nuestro Waterloo.

Pero cuando Dios nos conceda la victoria, los mismos que hoy dicen todo eso cambiarán su discurso. Dirán que siempre fue fácil, que cualquiera podía hacerlo, que las pandillas de Haití no eran tan peligrosas como se pensaba.

En fin, nunca los hemos escuchado y no vamos a empezar ahora.

Todos los que se han enlistado son creyentes y hemos encomendado esta misión a Dios, mientras que las pandillas de Haití son satánicas y es de conocimiento público que hacen sacrificios humanos.

Dios nos concederá la victoria. El Creador del Universo está con nosotros.

You can be globally compassionate as a person and still feel that your society should have careful borders and that local cultures matter, and should be preserved if they're clearly doing well.

These actually aren't in contradiction.

Oil price projections

[Qasem Al-Ali @AlaliQasem]

So when does $150–$180 actually hit?
Based on current inventory draw rates:
Now → May: Market still pricing hope. $95–$110.
Late May → June: Asian refiners outside Japan & China run dry. They pay any price for barrels. $130–$150.
July: US inventories approach operational minimum. Government intervention likely. $150–$180.
Aug → Sep: If Hormuz stays shut — we enter the $180–$224 zone. But by then, governments act first.
The critical window: June–July 2026.
That’s when inventory depletion meets zero alternatives.

Are we in a new stage in the terminal decivilization in the US?

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

NEW: In just 48 hours, 75 fire hydrants in Detroit have been destroyed after thieves started stealing the metal nozzles and stems.

Local officials are now needing to tell scrapyards not to accept the stolen fire hydrant parts, which are worth about $600 each.

"One hydrant here or there is manageable, but the problem is whoever's doing this is doing multiple hydrants in a row," said Executive Fire Commissioner Chuck Simms.

"So when DFD shows up, they're not going to have a hydrant within 600 or 900 feet, which put people's lives at risk."

Officials are asking the community to help find the suspects.

Excellent summary

[Pastor Rich Lusk @Vicar1973]

The church is the new Israel. Paul explicitly calls the church the “Israel of God” in Galatians 6:16: "And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.”

Some argue that Paul distinguishes two groups in this verse. For example, a Christian Zionist paraphrases the verse this way: "For all [Gentiles] who walk by this rule [the new creation], peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God [Jews who walk by the new creation].”

But this is simply an impossible reading of the text. For one thing, the entire letter of Galatians argues that Jew and Gentile believers are one in Christ. There is no way Paul would suddenly break them apart into two groups at the very end of the letter. Paul summarizes the theological argument of the letter in Galatians 3:28: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” There is one Israel of God – and it includes both Jews and Gentiles who are untied to Jesus by faith/baptism.

So what is Galatians 6:16 saying?

Galatians 6:16 is a fitting conclusion to the letter: just as Paul began the letter with the threat of a curse, a malediction, so he ends the letter with a promise of blessing, a benediction. But since Paul does not know if the Galatians will heed the warnings in this letter, he has to formulate his blessing in conditional terms: “as many as walk according to this rule” will be the recipients of peace and mercy.

Further, it is likely that in 6:16 Paul is echoing a familiar Jewish blessing, “The Blessing of Peace” from Shemoneh Esreh, used in ancient Jewish synagogues, but now repurposed by the Apostle for the use in the church: “Bestow peace, happiness, blessing, grace, and loving-kindness, and mercy upon us and upon all Israel, your people.” In this benediction, the “us” is not a group distinct from “all Israel,” but a subset of “all Israel.” The “us” is the locally gathered people; “all Israel” is the entire covenant community. So it is here.

We can paraphrase Paul’s benediction this way:

“And as many as walk according to this rule that circumcision and uncircumcision do not count for anything in the new creation, may peace and mercy be upon them in your community, and upon the whole Israel of God of which you are all a part.”

@col_a_buendia I’ve been saying this for years. It would prevent a huge amount of wildfires, especially on the West Coast.

[Pastor Rich Lusk @Vicar1973]

A huge part of pastoral ministry today is training Christian people to be propaganda-resistant.

[Ryan Finlay @ryanfinlay]

@Vicar1973 Agree. The prodigal's repentance didn't come until after the crushing reality of his humiliation was deeply felt.
