What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 351 & BENKYO RADIO 351.

Taking a diplomatic approach with Afghanistan will result in fewer American casualties, according to President Biden. Let’s see if the talks in Qatar amount to anything. There are still some Americans stranded in the country. I expect NATO and European Diplomats to work on this issue. I’m sure my coworkers in France have a plan. I’ve already told you, you think the magic is always coming from the USA, but European Diplomats do a lot of fucking work. Why do you think we/they drink so much coffee in France?

20 years was a long time for a fucking war. Please reach out to your Military/Veterans friends. If all they request is that you pray for them, do so, even if you’re not religious. It means a lot to them. I myself am just spiritual with a little bit of Zen Buddhism and believe in Optimus Prime and the Autobots, but I will gladly sit down during service and pray for fallen comrades. Remember, I’ve dealt with Mental Health (stable for 10 years). Imagine what they’re going through. Their burden is a lot more complicated. Be there for them. It could be as simple as having a beer or a shot of liquor with them.

Along with many people, I am watching a few UFO documentaries, while I eat my sunflower seeds. Remember, the most we know is that yes indeed they exist and that the U.S. Military has done “reverse-engineering” to create spy planes. That’s why when you look in the sky and you think it’s aliens, 99% of the time it’s not, it’s just the U.S. Military flying around. I’ve already told you, the SR-72 is pretty bad-ass. You’ll just have to wait a decade or so to hear more about it.

Don’t forget to vote NO on the California Governor Recall! Can’t afford any new leadership that looks like Trump! We will not abide by their Death-Cult! We want people to get vaccinated and wear masks so we can return to reality! Do I need to remind you that it will soon be 2 years of this pandemic? Do you want it to go into year 3 and year 4? If not, we need to keep our Democratic Governor!

Please get vaccinated if you have not yet. When more and more children end up in hospitals because adults weren’t vaccinated, it’s time to put some of these people in jail. No more BSing around. This shit is serious. Thanks in advance.

Until Next Time!
