What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 253 & BENKYO RADIO 253. And now, MU/OMEGA/DISCO/DEEP HOUSE RADIO is at level 10.

Hope everybody is staying strong with the Pandemic. Don’t forget to wear a mask, practice social-distance, and use hand-sanitizer. We really need vaccination for the masses, including for minorities.

The next Mars Rover is arriving Feb 18th! If you’re excited about Space News, this is pretty cool. There’s a book about the Oumuamua Interstellar object (ALIENS!), but it’s sold out. I look forward to reading it when it’s available again.

It’s Black History Month, so be sure to read African-American Authors and listen to Black music. There’s also great black movies. I think it’s really important to do that because if the January 6th insurrection showed us anything, it’s that there are a lot of White Nationalism in the USA, essentially they’re the KKK hiding in plain sight. These can be out in the country-side, or right in the middle of downtown. They really are everywhere, they just weren’t wearing white hoods. The best way to combat their way of thinking is the Dave Chappelle episode about that subject.

I have some exciting excellent gaming news. It appears that the E3 conference is making a comeback in 2021, in an online-form. This is awesome, and I hope they announce some amazing games for the PS4/PS5, Xbox consoles, and PC.

The French Presidential Elections of 2022 are upon us, and we are tired of always having to choose between the Right and the Far-Right at the polls. Stop insulting the Left. “La Gauche” must be present during both rounds of the Elections. We are sick of the “magouilles.” Stop infuriating minorities. In America you are an American first, and an Immigrant second. In France you are an Immigrant first, and a Frenchman second. This whole mentality must change. I miss France, and I really want to spend a vacation trip there after the Pandemic is over.

There’s a new Fast 9 trailer! Only a few more months until the movie comes out!

Until next time!

Many of us fans are signing a petition for Project Blue Book. Please save this show so we can have a Season 3!

The American People have been extremely patient, and now that Joe Biden is our new President, Bernie Sanders is ready to get to work. He wore his mittens because, eventually he is going to take them off. No More Mr. Nice Guy. Progressives have been waiting for this moment. There are so many policies that must be implemented to help the general public. First things first, people may have received their $600 stimulus checks, but we still need our $1,400 checks. After that, we need $2000/month retroactively since the Pandemic began. This pandemic has embarrassed the United States. Do you know that back in France, President Macron has a 1 euro for meal for Students? For 2 meals a day? 1 euro each? Some of you think I am too proud of being French-American (Afghan-French-American just to mention all of them). But you must understand that French ideology is very advanced. We must start thinking about social help in America. I am tired of turning on the television, to see 2-4 hours line at the food banks for people in their cars. It is time the Biden Administration subsidize food costs for all Americans. This is embarrassing. Let’s do better. Everybody in Congress must fix this.

Biden says there should be enough vaccines for 300 million Americans by Summer 2021. Can’t wait.

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 249 & BENKYO RADIO 249.

So excited about this rain we are getting in Central California. Although, we just wanted to get out of a drought, and now we have the fury from Poseidon. It’s raining pretty hard.

When I’m not eating sunflower seeds, I am eating almonds. There are various different flavors. My favorite is Wasabi. You should check them out at the grocery store. They’re pretty good.

The Rolex 24 at Daytona is this weekend! Be sure to tune in!

When I was working retail over a decade ago, we sold brochures for Netflix DVD memberships. This was long before it went IPO. That means we, the workers, helped them become an icon in the industry. The stock went from $0 to over $500, and that does not count the splits if there were any. As I drink my coffee listening to a ESPN FC podcast, I am tired. I am tired because I have a college degree. I have 9 years of Analytical experience. Yet I can’t find a salary in this economy. We are tired of Wall Street. They have $10 million, so they can make $1 million. What can mere mortals like us make when we have $100? We make a whopping $10? Fuck that! Do you realize that in 2013, a single coin of Bitcoin was worth $1? And it recently went as high as $40,000/coin? Do you see how crazy this is? Why can’t the 99% win a little? Why is it always the top 1% of the 1%? It’s time for the 99% to also make some money. We are all barely getting by, paycheck per paycheck, or waiting for unemployment checks, or stimulus checks that keep getting delayed. Let’s get Dogecoin to $1/coin (and beyond). It was at $0.01/coin for so long. Let’s take Dogecoin to the moon. Maybe you want to pay off your student loans, maybe you want to buy a car. Maybe you want to pay off the mortgage. Don’t invest your lifesavings, but it would not hurt to invest about $50 or more into Dogecoin. I was late to the party when I didn’t invest in Apple when I first bought an iPod Video. I’m not making that same mistake again. Dogecoin is the future regular bitcoin. I recommend buy and hold. Then I recommend playing the waiting game. It took 7 years for Bitcoin to reach $40,000/coin. How long will take Dogecoin to reach $1, $10, $100, $1000, $10,000/coin? If you’ve been waiting for a tip, here it is. Let’s GO!

Let’s get dogecoin to the moon

Let’s get dogecoin to the moon

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 247 & BENKYO RADIO 247.

We finally got some rain in Central California! It’s great to see, but as always, please be careful out there, for some reason, Californians always forget how to drive in the rain.

I’m looking forward to watching Press Conferences from various parts of the Biden Administration. It’s so nice to see grown adults back into the White House. There is so much work to do, especially since we endured 4 years by (how an old classmate used to say) LES INCOMPETENTS?

I am halfway through the Barack Obama Memoir VOL 1. It’s a great read. He really reminds me of Dr. King Jr. or Malcolm X. How throughout history, there is great injustice, and how people try to blame Black and other Minority people when instead it was White Nationalism which was the problem. Obama didn’t create the “Military-Industrial-Complex,” it was here long before him. Bernie Sanders has been preaching for 40 years about many topics, and everybody know he is right. Let us listen to him. Progressives are happy that Biden is President, but don’t you forget that we’re still biting our lips over how Corporate Democrats royally fucked up the IOWA caucus when it was clear that Bernie had won. We want #MedicareForAll. We want #FreeTuition. We want #FightFor15. We want #DACA. We want more stimulus checks. We want recurring $2,000 checks monthly until this Pandemic is over.

Somebody PLEASE tell the Israeli Govt that they MUST vaccinate Palestinians. Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. Bididi Netanyahu looks pretty fucking stupid today because he is attempting to cause ethnic cleansing against Palestinians. There were only a few brave Democrat Senators/Congressmen/Congresswomen who spoke out. Everybody was quiet. If you do not speak out, you are COMPLICIT. You have rooms of thousands of soldiers looking at stupid goddamn PowerPoint presentations asking “why do they hate us? Why do brown people hate us?” Well, allow me to explain to you, IT’S BECAUSE OF SHIT LIKE THIS. Vaccinate Palestinians, immediately, get MSF & Red Cross on board if you need be. I don’t want any more additional fucking terrorist attacks because Bibidi Netanyahu is being a fucking asshole.

I just binge-watched the first season of Spycraft on Netflix. It was pretty good! A big warning to many of you against “femme-fatales.” Especially with the Russia & China threats out there.

Alright, I got to go to Casa Bonita and help Mysterion, his sister has been abducted (South Park DLC).

Until next time!

Shout-out to our 46th President, Joe Biden! He is our new President! On his first day, he already signed 17 executive orders on a various spectrum of things, to get the country back on track. There is a lot to resolve. Looking forward to what Vice-President Kamala Harris will bring to the table as well. Thank you to all the National Guards who kept the peace today, millions of Americans thank you.

Picture that Arianna Huffington is talking to you in her sexy Greek accent. “You worked very hard, now you need to rest! Get enough sleep, sleep during the night and work during the day, you are not a vampire!” No more all-nighters. Thank you, Jesus, Allah & Buddha.

Until next time!

Today is Election Day! I’m watching the coverage. I am so thankful for the many people who have raised awareness to get out the vote through various means, as I did with my blog. We finally kicked Trump out of the Oval office! It was a hard tough battle, but we a Democratic President, a Democratic House, and a Democratic Senate majority. It’s time to get a lot of work done. This also means that many of us can focus less on staring at the news channel all day long, because we have various jobs that we work on. I can now re-focus on Technology. I have Project Management skills to continue building. I have music to work on. I have reports to write. I have podcasts to catch up to.

Until next time!
