Posted in: Toyota to offer Century SUV in bid to win more wealthy customers See in context
I really like this. What I like most is that Toyota builds it. And Toyota builds it in Japan. Japan makes the VERY best cars. I think I read that it’s a plug-in hybrid. That’s excellent. We need both and.

I haven’t had a really good tomato in years. Even the expensive “heirlooms” are flavorless. So I just drink whiskey.

I agree. It would be a great honor to be Japanese. This is something not to be taken lightly. Look before you leap. You can’t eat your cake and have it too.

I don’t blame him. It’s a thankless job. Politicians everywhere love to borrow forever and pass the bill to the future while playing games with the money supply. They’re re-elected by the masses who want a free lunch. That’s what makes for currency decline.

I will keep buying Toyota hybrids until the government forces me to buy an EV. I love Sony, but I love Toyota more.

Security is important given that there will many Japanese leaders, other citizens, and foreign representatives in the hundreds attending the funeral. Shinzo Abe was a great man. A great many wish to pay they’d respect.

Good for Japan and the world! I would like to see Japan’s technology genius applied to defense. As Ronald Reagan used to say, “peace through strength!” China and North Korea are making Asia unsafe for free people. Japan cannot afford to appease those tyrants.

Posted in: U.S. vice president to discuss Taiwan during trip to Japan, S Korea See in context
Why would anyone be in favor of a bloody dictatorship like China, responsible for the deaths of tens of millions, taking over Taiwan? Where would that come from? Seems evil. Hong Kong, the freest economy on earth, was bad enough. Let’s keep free China free!

Posted in: Canadian PM Trudeau cancels trip for Abe's state funeral See in context
Let’s face it. Justin has his hands full with the socialist mess he’s made in Canada. I’ve heard that Canadians don’t take him too seriously. He’s basically a good looking school teacher with no idea how to run a country. His Dad was PM. That’s all he’s really got. And now there’s a storm, so he needs to attend to that.

Hundreds in a country of 127 million. That’s insignificant. The left is politicizing a great man’s death. That’s shameful.

The Biden administration speaks loudly while wielding a very small stick. His administration is driving the United States into treacherous inflation and suicidal debt. She usually says something embarrassing wherever she goes, so let’s hope she doesn’t speak.

Some said that the PM of Japan, one of the great countries, is not taken seriously in Europe. I don’t believe that and what would it matter? Europe has its own self-inflicted wounds to heal.
