What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 790 & BENKYO RADIO 790. Now, I am very happy for crazy lunatic Tom Cruise for winning an Oscar for sound for Top Gun Maverick. I hope that after Mission Impossible 7 & 8, he finds time to film SENTOU YOUSEI YUKIKAZE, something that he was supposed to film in 2013. I cannot wait for that movie. The anime is available on Tubi, and the novels are available on Amazon. Alas, the third and final novel in the series, has not been translated into English as of yet. Many years ago, they said that they would release the third novel in English assuming enough people bought Novels 1 & 2. Therefore, let’s get that done, guys! Thank you.

Until Next Time!

To dismiss such a grandiose person who did incredible work for the Democratic party. He did not murder 600,000 Americans like Trump. He did not tell people not to wear masks and not get vaccinated, even though Trump was. Senator Al Franken was a bonified hero. He spoke into the mirror on SNL, and used self-motivation speeches. America vilified Franken for years, and a lot of people have yet to apologize. Well, on behalf of everybody, I apologize to you, Senator Franken. Keep up the good work. I’m pretty sure I read your book, it was pretty good.

The clock is ticking. A Trump indictment is imminent. Let’s get it done. There are hundreds of pressing manners that we must focus on. There’s the war in Ukraine, the #AfghanAdjustmentAct, the #IranRevolution2023 (I recommend listening to Radio Javan), the fact that COVID-19 was #lableak, Retirement age in France, the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) on Wall Street going bankrupt, and the list goes on. By getting rid of the Trump nightmare, the world can focus on all these other stories.

It’s St. Patrick’s Day weekend! Please be careful. Enjoy the festivities, but be safe, and have a plan to return home. Have a designated driver, and be sure that everyone in the vehicle wears their seatbelts. Thanks in advance. Also, if you are inside a vehicle, please stop using TikTok, you cannot possibly drive a vehicle and use TikTok at the same time, you are out of your mind, you will get in a car accident. Do NOT do it. I thank you, and your parents thank you.
