As I watch a handful of documentaries about the struggle of African-Americans, I find it imperative that VOTING RIGHTS LAWS are passed immediately. We have a lot of young Democrats who are angry as hell. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can’t do this shit all by herself. We need to elect more REAL DEMOCRATIC SENATORS, not some fuckers who are bought by the mob such as Joe Manchin (The Penguin) and Sinema (Harley Quinn). I implore President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris to flex more muscle before Midterms 2022 because we are in quite the predicament here.

Until Next Time!

It’s imperative that Russia does not cause provocation in Ukraine. What’s the rush? What’s the big deal? Why does Russia need to mess with Ukraine? Russia has its own share of problems and troubles. Putin is just trying to change the topic, because he knows the people of Russia are living in harsh conditions, and are about to experience yet another terrible cold winter. The Soviet Union era is over. It’s time for Putin to take care of the Russian people, not invade another nation. People are starving in Russia. People want change in Russia. If Putin causes provocation in Ukraine, The United States including NATO will make absolutely clear that it wants Peace. It does not want war. The diplomatic approach is the ONLY solution to this crisis. Get your diplomats to argue over a nice game of chess, and stop dicking around with the security of the globe. Thanks for listening.

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 434 & BENKYO RADIO 434.

First off, I am extremely excited that #MedicareForAll (#M4A) is back on the table in California. I am eager to hear more from Senator Bernie Sanders and his coalition from Our Revolution to make this happen. This would be huge.

Thank you to POTUS for addressing that he is tired of the Filibuster along with millions of us Americans. We need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act in the Senate, it has already passed in the House of Representatives.

Congratulations to Georgia who did the impossible: beat the almighty Alabama team in the College Football National Championship.

Extremely proud of the FBI, the DOJ, and the Intelligence Community for going after Trump’s mob who wanted to renew their Insurrection on the anniversary of January 6th, and how those who took part in that insurgency must be arrested and put on trial. They attacked the police and must suffer the consequences. The GOP is currently on a path to White Nationalism, and Democrats must save our democracy. It is imperative that work continues to stop this threat. POTUS said it, we must fight all enemies, foreign and domestic, and these individuals were domestic terrorists. The same way it is illegal to enter the pilot’s cabin in an airplane, you cannot have unauthorized access to the Capitol. It’s fucking common sense. Do not underestimate Mueller’s warning. If Trump isn’t barred from holding office again, he might install himself as a Dictator and stop future elections. I am not kidding.

I want to thank Secretary Blinken on two fronts. First, for reiterating the importance with our NATO partners about the need for de-escalation with Russia regarding Ukraine, which is a situation that Putin created himself needlessly. Nobody wants M.A.D., and we must all do a better job of advertising the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists newsletter since the Kremlin must understand that nobody wins in that scenario. It’s best to instead for both countries to hold exercises and keep it at that. Second, I want to thank the Secretary for committing more funds for the people suffering in Afghanistan. It is imperative that the money goes to aid workers who can evenly distribute it to people in the region, and not to the Taliban.

Attached below is a YouTube video series on A.I. from PBS for those interested in the topic.

PS. Hillary Clinton was forced to testify before Congress more than 10 hours. Donald Trump hasn't even been subpoenaed once. How strong is their mob? It’s time for the FBI to act.

Until Next Time!

Remember when you get demoralized from studies, take it one day at a time. Study just a little bit, one day at a time, and eventually, you will earn your degree, certificate, etc.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 426 & BENKYO RADIO 426.

I wanted to let you know that cloth masks are simply not enough to fight Omicron. It’s time to upgrade to N95 or KN95 masks. I’ve ordered some, and I plan to order more. Here is an article from NPR about this.

I understand that NYE is coming up, and many of you want to go out and celebrate, just remember that with the Omicron Variant, you are at risk of getting sick.

If you listened to my PSA for Christmas, I thank you very much. Now, here’s my PSA for NYE, please pretty please do NOT accept pills from strangers. Think of yourself and your loved ones. It’s not worth it. There is no point in doing something you might regret on New Year’s Eve, if you do not wake up on January 1st 2022. I thank you for listening. I really miss going to a Dance Music concert, so I need to snag that Razer LED mask and then I’m definitely going. But not until that. It’s just not worth getting sick. Please re-watch the new South Park COVID specials. The majority of the population is tired as hell. Don’t make us live through COVID for the next 40 fucking years. We want the pandemic to last just about 3 years, not forever. Therefore, please get vaccinated, please get boosted. Thank you.

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 425 & BENKYO RADIO 425.

Well, Christmas is upon us! Here’s my Present for all of you. As you may remember, in the video game GTA III (which has now been remastered), there was a radio station that had Drum & Bass, entitled “MSX FM.” I loved that radio station. Unfortunately, it only had about 25 minutes of Drum & Bass. Well, guess what, GT RADIO, my Drum & Bass podcast, is now at episode 267. With the super playlist, it has over 5000 songs or about 400 hours of Drum & Bass. Now you can go and enjoy some D&B wherever you go. Please remember to drive safely.

Here’s my usual PSA for Holidays, and that includes Christmas. Please drive safely. Please always wear a seatbelt. Please drink a 0.0% alcoholic beer if you’re a designated driver.

A Merry Christmas to all of you around the world that are celebrating, especially those in the Palestinian Territories, who have been victimized and oppressed for over 73 years by Israel. Will the United Nations finally sanction Israel? Well, “nearly two-thirds of The Washington Post recent survey group think the Israeli-Palestinian situation is akin to apartheid.” We can be hopeful that Netanyahu finally faces jail time for his corruption and war crimes. At the very least, he is no longer Prime Minister, even though his successor is quite worse.
