Now, this video below is about the book and movie “Black Hawk Down.” It’s one of my most cherished movies, and I’ve talked about it many blogposts ago. I love the mantra of that movie (no man left behind), and especially at the end, where his fellow man says at the end of the day, “it’s about the guy next to you.”

Until Next Time!

This past weekend, I decided not to attend FUELFEST due to no COVID-19 vaccination status check at the gate. Even though I am vaccinated and boosted (twice), I cannot afford to get sick this month due to a upcoming celebration between my fiancée and I. Instead, I went to the Fujiwara Tofu Cafe, where I got to enjoy some tofu and bubble tea, and a great spot with that Initial D ambiance. I highly recommend visiting this spot in Los Angeles. I hope that when they expand, they consider bringing a Northern California location, such as Sacramento. I know people in Central Valley California would love one as well.

As Jour J commemoration is upon us (June 6th) again this year, I wanted to share this movie with y’all. It’s called De Gaulle. It’s about how De Gaulle went abroad to have a radio show until D-Day which helped the allies win the war in WW II. Now I am very excited about this movie, because it is in French and I have yet to see it. You can watch it for free with ads on YouTube. Another great movie to watch this week is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society which has been mentioned on my blog many years ago.

It is of the highest importance that President Biden passes new legislation that brings us back to Bill Clinton policies regarding gun control in America. Americans do NOT need assault weapons on the streets. No normal citizen needs high-capacity magazines. Australia had a bad incident with a shooting, and ever since that event, they no longer have a concern with that topic. Please bring back policies that President Bill Clinton utilized. Ever since America removed those policies, shootings around the U.S. kept increasing. There’s even U.S. Senators in Congress who went to beg in front of Republicans to do what is right for our country. Please do the right thing. Children, teenagers and young adults do not feel safe in our schools. We must bring back the Assault Weapon ban. President Biden must stand up against these Republicans and Klansmen who stood in front of Beto. On another topic, Beto MUST become the next Texas Governor.

Until Next Time!

I watched the new Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and it was quite peculiar! It’s a must-watch.

I am extremely excited about the NBA Finals. It’s between the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors. Now this is very exciting because both teams support the Palestinian people. While I love and respect both teams, I hope it goes all the way to Game 7. I love Boston because of all things Irish including Guinness (now even available in 0.0% alcoholic beer) and San Francisco because we all love going to the Bay from time to time. If Boston wins, I hope Amazon Prime Video rewards us by releasing Jack Ryan Season 3 a little faster, since it’s been delayed for months now.

It is imperative that we take Al Gore, and his organization’a CLIMATE REALITY PROJECT seriously. Do you realize that 2030 is only 8 years away? We are approaching climate disaster sooner than we think, and I’m fucking sick and tired that we don’t take the Scientists as seriously as we do Celebrities simply because they aren’t fashion models. We need to not just call it Climate Change, but call it for what it is: GLOBAL WARMING, and how the Big-Oil cartels RENAMED the term to Climate Change. When you say GLOBAL WARMING, it reminds us that THE ENTIRE FUCKING GLOBE IS WARMING. There are millions of teenagers and kids at SUNRISE MOVEMENT who have protested, and that’s good, but what we need is to change POLICY. Therefore, we need IMPLEMENTATION of new laws that will FACILITATE the purchase of EV vehicles, FAST TRAIN TRANSPORTATION, and it’s time to bring up the taboo topic: fight the system that forces us to drive or fly everywhere in the United States. There’s a great website called CITY LAB which got purchased by Bloomberg. It talks about how plenty of cities around the U.S. have remodeled their cities to be eco-friendly, bike-friendly, etc etc.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 530 & BENKYO RADIO 530.

Now, this blogpost is focusing on the three videos below from Senator Bernie Sanders and the whole staff and volunteers from OUR REVOLUTION. It is imperative that we pass MEDICARE FOR ALL. There have been over a million of dead Americans from COVID-19. Doctors and Nurses have described in vivid detail how if Americans had a Single-Payer Healthcare system, we would not be in this predicament. Let’s push for the #MedicareForAll bill again. Let’s pass it via Congress, and let’s force POTUS to sign it. The American People want it, and we must do what is right for the American People, not for Big-Pharma.

Until Next Time!
