How long are we going to let NK continue? Wait until one lands in a city & kills countless innocents? Time to take out their launch centers & command & control HQ. UN can't sit around & wait for the tragic inevitable.

Posted in: Cruz drops out of GOP race after Indiana loss to Trump See in context
Many people who seem to dislike Trump don't realize the ongoing issues affecting large areas of the USA that have been more or less ignored by the last 4 presidents. He's finally addressing it. Illegal aliens. During 1.5 years in Japan, I was only asked to show my ARC (Alien Registration Card) once. I was proud to produce it & show local law enforcement. My feeling was that if I had a country I would want to know who is visiting and have some kind of registration system. Over here in the USA we're Here in Southern California every single aspect of life is affected by illegal aliens: jobs, housing, traffic, shopping, education, etc. Something needs to be done. We put great faith in Obama who didn't deliver on everything he promised & I'm sure Trump won't either....

Posted in: Migrants keep entering Hungary as work on fence speeds up See in context
Allowing refugee's to migrate to another country is simply a band-aid that doesn't solve the real issue. We've seen this time & time again. The long term solution is to fix the problem within their country, educate and provide leadership to make them self supporting and NOT want to leave their country. Let's be proactive & fix the problem.

I brought canned minke whale back home one year & cooked it up for taco night...best taco's I've ever had! The melted cheese combined w/the minke whale, lettuce, etc was simply delicious! It was much more tender than I ever expected.

I ride a bicycle to work & was just thinking today (after many years of commuting by bicycle) that it would be good evidence to have a video of my 20 min journey should something happen. GoPro sticking up from helmet is kinda silly, these would work....

Posted in: KISS kick off Japan tour See in context
KISS bought a new Arena Football team in Los Angeles and I bought season tickets at $99 which includes a free full scale KISS concert for season ticket holders only! The surprising thing is that the $99 tickets aren't sold out! 10 games + a full scale KISS concert! Someone should throw in r/t flight from Japan and make a travel package of it.
