Posted in: Trump agrees to pause tariffs on Mexico, Canada after they pledge to boost border enforcement See in context

You gotta give the man his credits. He is one unrelenting machine. He did more in these few weeks than any other president would ever did in their 4 years. And yes there are still many promises he hasn't tackle yet, but which president ever could tackle every single problem during their first month as president anyway. Our prime minister take years to even make 1 important decision.

This rich man could easily lived out his golden years very comfortably, but instead he choose to give up more than a decade of his remaining life to seek a position to try to fix a already failing country that is pretty much beyond saving at this point. Ignoring the lies, danger and target on him and his family, the man continue to strive to do what he promised the people. This is a man knowing he gave up his last few good remaining years of his life to try to leave behind a legacy of actually doing something for his nation. That is kinda admirable even though most likely this will require many other nations to fend for themselves.

Any foreign nation have reason to fear him and want to get rid of him. Because when a man is dedicated to leave a lasting legacy for his nation before his life end, then you know this is a man you cannot intimidate nor bribe to look the other way. He would not care what the old rules are or what long games the politician play behind close doors. And for that, many nation i think will feel it in the coming 4 years that this is a completely different president than the soft president they had been dealing with in the past. The party is over.

Posted in: Trump aid freeze stirs chaos before it is blocked in court See in context

It's time to stop all the leaking. Tons of money are being spend and going somewhere. He did the right thing to see where all the money goes and if it's well spend or not. He has the balls to do something most would never do due to pissing off many powerful people. You have to be very naive if you think if most of the projects aren't just money schemes to fill the pockets of many people.

Posted in: Trump starts firing opponents, faces criticism in cathedral sermon See in context

Every new administration does firing so this is nothing new. But the bishop case clearly what she did was inappropriate and she just needed to do her job. That wasn't a sermon,but bias rambling without taking account to what the majority of people of the nation want who choose their president.

The man, the myth, the legend!

Good luck with MEGA. You gonna need it after what the Biden administration had done these last few years. They were weak, soft, corrupt, wasteful, useless and lastly very very incompetent both internal and on world stage.

Posted in: Man who stole two packs of ground beef tracked by police for about 1,000 kms across Japan See in context

If he dares to do it once, he will do it again. The fact he denied it, means he had zero regret for his actions. And who knows how many times he already did it before they discovered him that time.

So no, any crime must face justice and i applaud the police for not abandoning this and had continue the search. There are consequences in ones actions and this is a reminder that no matter how far you run, it will catch up to you. Is not a waste of resources, because this have to be expected from the police. That they do their job no matter how small the task is. Small things can lead to big things. You don't just ignore it. Any other excuse just means you are lazy and not take your work as a officer seriously.

Posted in: Dodgers star Ohtani 'honored' by maiden World Series win See in context

Not surprising he enjoyed it. This team was freaking tough and well through all kind of obstacles and trials. Half of their pitchers were on the injury list and couldn't take part, Freddie Freeman was batting with a injured leg, Mookie manage to recover in time from a wrist injury and Yamamoto missed most of the season due to injury and somehow had to perform at peak form at the playoffs immediately to keep them alive. And finally Ohtani got the shoulder subluxation injury which is ridiculous painful just moving the arm a little and he still played through the series. This was one heck of a year. The Dodgers deserved it. They were very united and rarely makes mistakes with explosive offense and great defenses. Everyone said they couldn't make it due their lack of pitchers, but they fought through all teams to win it.

43 years since the last time they faced each other. Both side of the fan base waited so freaking long for this.

Plus we get to see Ohtani, Betts vs Judge and Soto. We might never see this once in a lifetime opportunity matchup again. The peak of baseball era. Half the country population might tune in for the world series.

Posted in: Ohtani's 50-50 home run ball goes up for auction with starting bid of $500,000 See in context

Is kinda sickening that they are trying to profit from someone else hard work and fame. Is not like they are the ones who hit the ball nor does the ball even belong to them. They just grab it. Should have just given back the ball to the Dodgers. Plus 50/50 might have sounded nice as a round number because how every profiteers try to hype it up, but we all know that Othani broke the previous record at 43/43. And is currently already at 53. So that 50/50 ball means nothing. The 51/51 ball on that same game had more value than it. The only reason why they so quickly try to auction it off is, because they know it’s worth nothing due to Othani breaking new records again and again. Hope nobody bid on it.

Posted in: Nikkei closes up 10.23% after Monday's record fall; dollar trading at ¥145.94 See in context

Stock is just gambling. It goes up and goes down depending on how the stockholders react by selling or buying. At this point if the rich elite want to crash it, they can do it anytime they want and if they want to make a big killing, they can also do it. This is a game made for those who can afford to play it. If you don't have the cash to play, then don't participate.

All the recent panic selling is just a huge boom for the rich to buy bulk of the cheap stock back after they had sold it for a high price long time ago. And the cycle will repeat again once they fatten you up.

This market crash was already foreseen for 2-3 years now and it boggles my mind that people still act surprise when they get burn. In fact i wouldn't be surprise if a few intentionally hype up the selling to create a panic selling.

Who cares about the stock anyway. Is a game for the rich and elite anyway. They are the ones making money out of it.

The yen strengthening is the focus. Make it reach 110 again like 3 years ago and things will be great after my recent raise.

Testosterone helps build muscle by generating proteins, which then increases muscle strength.

So yes, i think it is a bit unfair for her to compete with other females even if she herself is identify as a female. The main issue is that she hold a advantage in her physical strength over other females which makes it unfair to even call it a fair competition.

Money talks. Anyone with former military experience can take sign in these so called wars as long pay is good. Both side hired these so called volunteers. But the truth is most joined up because the promised benefits are attractive enough to lure them in.

They gotta make it into a law that any person over 70 should never be allowed to hold any government positions. And this guy is 81. Is the worst you can ask for as your president.

You will be afraid for him to travel anywhere and you also barely able to keep him awake throughout the day and not even certain if he had remember anything you said the previous hour. Is this really the person who you want having control over the nuclear codes and other important stuff?

To be honest i am glad the rich get a taste of the justice system. If it were anywhere else, he would have lived like a king in detention full of luxury that his lawyer will demand and able to post bail with his wealth easily and be back home as if nothing happen.

Posted in: Putin pledges cease-fire if Ukraine exits occupied areas and drops NATO bid See in context

Reality is that this is a game of endurance. Depletion of resources, manpower and economic hardships takes years to manifest. Is all about which side can last longer.

Sure Ukraine will suffer a few more brutal years and keep losing more men and territories. But don't deny that Russia isn't hurting like hell too from losing men, equipment and their oil refineries being constantly hit. Putin knows this and which is why he is offering deals while still trying to salvage this whole thing as a win, but even he knows the longer this war drag on, the more likely things will go bad for his country in the near future. There is only so much he can squeeze out of his 144million population until the country no longer able to operate as a world power. Taking territories while in war takes tons of resources to manage, repair and hold on too. Unless he can get a peace deal, all his gains will instead become liability soon.

Posted in: Hamas responds to Gaza cease-fire plan seeking some changes See in context

It makes no sense to accept cease fire now. They are literally with one foot in the grave. Whole place is blockade with nowhere to run. They are running out of ammunition and hiding places in that small area that is still being fought on. Why still trying to negotiate a cease fire? Give them breathing time to re-organize? Cease fire is always temporarily,because it's not a peace agreement. The fighting will restart again when the other side recovered. The fact is that the war already happened. Get it over with already.

Posted in: Japan ranked worst country in world for helping strangers See in context

Basically what this survey is trying to say is: we ain't giving up enough of our hard earn money for charity, taking enough days off from work to do free labor for events and lastly isn't helping the random strangers too much.

First off, most of us here distrust charity events. As too many scams happen and we never even knows if our money truly goes to the needed people or just being wasted. Language barrier is also a huge problem. Way too many scandals had happen here. Communities prefer to aid their own area instead of just blindly trusting these so called charity events. Secondly considering the work culture here, good luck finding people with free time on their hands. Life is hard enough as it is. Lastly about helping strangers, this is why we have koban station literally everywhere here. So you can actually ask for help from someone who actually can truly help you.

Is just gambling at this point. And anyone who tell you otherwise is clearly in denial. This is a game for the rich who can afford to play it. In the end is all about everyone getting in the hype hoping to hit the jackpot only to one day realize you will lose everything as there is zero regulation in this.
