What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 475 & BENKYO RADIO 475.

I am very proud that in the first Jan. 6 trial, a jury found Capitol riot defendant Guy Reffitt guilty. This is a win for millions of Americans around the country, especially African-Americans and other minorities. If a young black or brown teenager goes to jail over a little bit of weed, it was imperative that white nationalists who had the audacity to blatantly like and say “Blue Lives Matter” yet go to our Capitol and attack police officers, is completely uncalled for. Thank God the FBI is doing the right thing.

Please remember, if this was a Middle-Easterner, he’d be in Guantanamo Bay right now. Because he is white, he is not getting that treatment. Regardless, Assistant U.S. Attorney Risa Berkower described Reffitt as the “tip of the mob’s spear.”

You’ve earned your glass of Whiskey, Mueller, the work continues.

Happy International Women’s Day! Especially to the Women of Palestine who have been ignored for over 73 years. Everybody is calling the horrors of Ukraine very quickly, yet very mute on Palestine. Your racism has been exposed, and no matter how you play it, you will be forever labeled as a hypocrite. Thank you to the Irish Prime Minister for being the only major European politician to really say it like it is. Thank you.

Until Next Time!
