What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 235 & BENKYO RADIO 235.

Hope everybody had a nice Christmas! Don’t forget to enjoy your New Year’s Eve responsibly.

Mitch McConnell is an asshole. How can one man from Kentucky hold the entire country hostage? Americans want their $2000 stimulus checks. Americans want Unemployment Benefits to continue since the quarantine/lockdown continues. It’s imperative. I suggest you keep the pressure on your Senator, so that they push Mitch to hold a vote. VP Mike Pence said something really stupid: “they want to make rich people poor, and poor people comfortable.” Like, WTF? These Republicans ARE NOT REAL CHRISTIANS. They praise about the Lord Jesus Christ, but what they mean is “only for rich white people.” It’s time to expose them for what they are. The disrespect they give to women when they say they are pro-life when they won’t let them have their women’s rights, and meanwhile 300,000 Americans have died and nobody gives a shit. Michael Moore said something very important. He said “S.O.S. almost 40 small plane crashes in one day, thousands are dead” no wait no, it’s thousands of COVID-19 deaths.

Have you ever heard of the Global Underground? I used to listen to their compilations a long time ago. Their latest one is by Joris Voorn, GU43 Rotterdam. Be sure to check it out!

In 20 days, Joe Biden will be the 46th President of these United States!

I have received new intel from the Intelligence Community that I must share with you. If we vaccinate on the current low-rate that are we doing, it will take us until 2025 to vaccinate the majority of America. That is too fucking long. It is imperative for the Pentagon to work together with the new Biden-Transition team. Get these fucking Trump loyalists out of there. Everybody got deadlines. Everybody got reports to write. And everybody at the D.O.D. / Air Force, and rest of the military want to kick the Operation Warp Speed into high gear, but if our hands are tied because of Trump bureaucracy, that is not good.

Also, we hate Amazon because Jeff Bezos is a trillionaire soon, but Amazon is super efficient. Let’s have Amazon work with nurses to administer COVID-19 vaccine to the population. Maybe it will go a lot faster.

For NYE, I will be watching the Jean Michel Jarre NOTRE-DAME Virtual Concert. Tune in! There are a few more concerts to watch out for, which I will mention in my next blogpost.

Please drive safely. It is not worth getting a DUI. Please drink a 0.0% alcohol beer if you’re driving. Can you imagine not having a driver license for months / a whole year? During a pandemic? Please be conscientious.

Now, I am as peaceful as a Buddhist Monk, and my weapon of choice is a simple bamboo stick, but I swear to God, if Mitch McConnell does not pass the Stimulus, there will be hell to pay. Senator Sanders will filibuster the military budget bill. Stop holding Americans hostage. Big Tech made billions during the Pandemic while there are 2-4hrs line at the food banks throughout the country. Fuck this shit. If this is Capitalism, fuck this, this is the Dark Side of the Force. Is America the country for Darth Vader? The Rebel Alliance must rise up. Mitch McConnell is about to yell: “I AM THE SENATE” and pull out his light saber. It’s time to fight him off. Time for a large petition and ask help from a Jedi, and Grogu.

Until next time!
