Good for them. Just like me, they are afraid of war. Japanese know how terrible war can get so they want an American president who wants to end wars instead of one controlled by an agenda that wants war.

Data can be skewed all kinds of ways. Just like other media. Again, I implore you and others to look at actual videos on YouTube - nothing faked - of crimes all over the country. In places where there was no significant crime before. This is a national emergency. But most of you would rather hide from it to protect your political view. It’s disgraceful.

Who believes this FBI data anyway?

Also, just to reflect: Why WOULD crime be down anyway? You mean fewer police and police quitting their jobs is going to make neighborhoods safer?

The commenters here are obviously mainstream news watchers. They don’t watch videos of crimes on YouTube or local news channels. So, they don’t know - or are afraid to know because it would upset their political views.

Underworld

Do you ever watch YouTube? I don’t mean for movies or music. There’s all kinds of crime everywhere in the US - and not just in the major cities like it used to be. It’s anywhere now. And crazy random attacks. Check it out please.

Why is this even a news item? Nothing happened. Guy was madly in love with a woman who maybe stopped him cold. Nobody knows anything about their relationship leading up to this. He couldn’t handle the breakup and acted foolishly. That’s all. Leave it alone.

”Girl Power, Takaichi and Harris”

Get off it. They are both female. That’s where the similarity ends.

Why do they say “Japan” to elect when the Japanese voting population is just watching like birds on a fence?

Japanese - both men and women - just do not want females to lead apparently. That has not changed.

You’re going to see the same in the upcoming election in which Takaichi will be refused because she’s a woman.

Child will never forget the horror. And he gets away with it. Strange rulings in Japan.

Here’s a real typhoon for you in the South China Sea. Blew up into a Category 4, near Category 5, strength hurricane as it hit Hainan. Overturning cars. Lot of damage.

I’m happy to see this movie is out there.

Here’s why.

In 2013, leftist ( of course ) Hollywood released a movie called, “The Butler”, centering on the lives of Ronald and Nancy Reagan. Of course, Jane Fonda was ( and is ) a famously flagrant leftist, going back all the way to her days visiting North Vietnam during the Vietnam war. And Jane Fonda openly hated Ronald Reagan.

So who played Nancy Reagan in that movie? Jane Fonda! - AND while Nancy Reagan was still alive and in her 90s, somewhat helplessly on the side. Imagine the arrogance of Fonda doing that. Imagine the arrogance of leftist Hollywood doing that.

Just awful. And now the same batch of critics bash this movie which has the nerve to be favorable to Reagan’s life.

Still I love her, even when she takes the form of a typhoon.

Big weather events everywhere. I wonder whatever we can do to fix the problem!

Japan, trying to look spiffy internationally with no fundamental change, as usual. So does this mean miserable weekends ( itself a foreign concept) with 20 hours of “homework”?

What a stupid mistake by Harris to criticize Trump here when she rejected the invitation to attend the ceremony, probably because she feared a reaction there, knowing Biden’s presidency was responsible for the operation in which these people died.

Abe234

You’re right. And you needn’t hesitate to call them out on that. If this were a chunky newspaper with a myriad of items, it would naturally be in there. But when there are only a limited number of headlines, this needn’t be up there at the top.

Coming Civil War? It is possible. And the pressure towards it has come from the left. They have created that division and animosity. They want war - internally and internationally. So, if you are an American and fear war as I do, you should not support the Democrats who lead the world into war.

I am not an American, but a concerned citizen of the world.

If a bigoted person votes from Trump rather than Biden, Harris etc., that does not mean that Trump supports that person. Don’t expect Trump to go around saying, “That person voted for me and I hate him”. It doesn’t work that way. People don’t blast people who for whatever reason voted for them. He will just avoid them, which he has done.

Racial divide has been pushed along by the left creating animosity where it hadn’t existed previously.

It’s ridiculous. Please stick to stopping cyclists who go faster than me on my scooter! They are the real danger. Picking on someone riding carefully with an umbrella is absurd. You have to wonder how many serious accidents have been caused by people using an umbrella in a sudden shower.

Cyclists break all kinds of rules. Sure, get ‘em when they are riding dangerously, case by case. Instead of some arbitrary blanket rule which is applied simply because it’s easy to apply.

Hawk

Wear rain gear? In the heat, wearing plastic coats etc? Are you kidding? And where are you going to stuff that gear when you aren’t using it? Especially when it’s wet and soggy? Ridiculous. Why should a person not ride slowly on their bicycle with their right hand firmly steering and carefully looking around? ( Unlike people using phones)

Hawk

I cannot agree with forbidding umbrella while riding a bicycle.

Why not? Because you could get wet if you don’t. Is that a good enough reason?

I’m annoyed by a lot of bicycle riders using their phones, but I cannot agree with a rule that punishes riders using an umbrella when it’s raining.

Then, what are they going to do about Uber delivery drivers on scooters with a GPS screen guiding them for their deliveries?

Yrrai

Maybe you have a link to information I don’t have. I don’t see anything about a typhoon approaching Kagoshima on Sunday, Sept 8. Where did you get that information?

He was never determined to have raped someone. Names like rapist, nazi, racist etc. get thrown at people without proof. As mere insulting terms for people we don’t like.

Big disappointment that this typhoon was not stronger. I wanted it to break the summer heat pattern. As you must know, the summer heat is much more dangerous to human life in Japan than typhoons.

It doesn’t matter that Abba has been around since the 70s. They have a legacy image that they cherish.

Also, entertainment personalities are far more likely to be on the left for reasons stated previously. So, they are more likely to allow their music to be used by the left. However, Harris campaign has no shortage of lower culture music ( Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Jon etc.) and don’t really need the more traditional ones. But they could get them more easily than Trump.

In North America, a hurricane loses its status of “hurricane” when sustained wind speed falls below 75 mph. But with a typhoon, once designated as such is always referred to as “typhoon”, even when basically little more than a center of low air pressure, like this Shanshan is now.
