Aren’t you tired of these gas prices? This shit is ridiculous. It’s imperative that OPEC along with ExxonMobile, etc reduces the price at the pump since they have received record profits. People are getting upset at Biden when they should be upset at these Billionaire and Millionaire CEOs who reap all the profits, and can easily find ways to bring the price of gas back to $3-4/gallon. #gasprices

The State Department is doing everything in their power to calm the situation in Ukraine, as Putin continues to be isolated. Russia might need regime-change. We cannot have an adversary who threatens the nuclear option and bring us back to a new Cold War. Let’s be reasonable. #NuclearDeterrence

The following post is mostly redacted but I’ll get right to the point. 83 days before Trump was elected president in 2016, I had Bubble Tea at Quickly with __________ in Folsom, CA. In the parking lot, was an unknown driver of a White Ferrari 488 Italia with his lights on, while the two of us were inside having a conversation. In metaphor, he is an Espada. He must be found. He must be arrested. The FBI, including Mueller’s team has a lot of questions for him. I will not rest until he is found and arrested, and for making my life a living nightmare. Yes, that does mean the sheer magnitude of the Trump mafia investigation is even bigger than one has anticipated.

I’d like to point out that if Trump’s actions the other year against Biden’s son Hunter about Ukraine involved Trump preparing Putin for his war the following year, Former President or not, Trump is eligible to get the (electric) chair for this. We uphold the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

As much as it is my personal duty to start raving at Armin van Buuren’s celebration of ASOT 1000 in Los Angeles, I alas have a scheduling conflict. I will have to perform my civic duty to vote in the French Presidential Elections during the first and second round. This is because of the rise of Nazism and the Far-Right in France from the various new parties that have emerged, all inspired by Nazi Le Pen and her Nazi Dad Jean-Marie Le Pen. It is now a duty for every French citizen, whether in France, or overseas, to vote in these Presidential Elections. If you do not cast a vote, or worst, vote “blanc”, and Anne Hidalgo & Emmanuel Macron do not make it to the second round of the Presidential Elections, you can hold yourself personally responsible for the fall of the 5eme Republique. Do not make that mistake. Vote. Votez. It is your civic duty. You’ve seen the damage a candidate like Trump did to America. Don’t let it happen to France. Thanks for listening.

I was very proud of France Rugby doing great (FMP! Fumoffu Episode 7). Drank a Pint of Guinness as a token of gratitude. Great job, guys! Vive La France!

Also, please refer to listening and watching The Economist, BBC News, France 24, and podcasts from VICE News and The Intercept.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 481 & BENKYO RADIO 481.

As you may know, the Pyramid of Giza is 481 feet. I’ve always wanted to visit Egypt, and unfortunately, its president is a ruthless man who has imprisoned journalists, including ones from AL-Jazeera. Mahmoud Houssein was released after spending more than four years in detention. This is terrible, because people in Egypt are wonderful, not to mention DJs Aly & Fila are from there. They throw amazing parties and festivals, and would love to see them perform one of these days. Having over 481 songs/tracks on a playlist/mixtape/podcast is a lot, and you have the time to listen, take some time to listen to JL R 083. An ex-coworker kept talking about “Ancient Aliens” TV show, and I think I will finally give it a go. You can also experience an amazing story of Assassin’s Creed Origins, which takes place in Egypt. I look forward to revisit that game once I can allocate some time. I also have tremendous respect for Mohamed Salah, an Egyptian Football player from Egypt who supports the Palestinian People, despite the fact that he is a Liverpool player (as you know, I’m a huge Manchester United supporter).

Until Next Time!
