Americans dropped nukes on Japan twice and now they‘re best friends.
Americans defended Europeans for free the past 80 years and they are the most ungrateful pricks imaginable.
There is a lesson to be learned there.

The recent flood of appreciation from the Japanese and Americans for each other's culture highlights the importance of real diversity by maintaining and protecting distinct cultures
Americans want the Japanese to exist in 100 years, not an island with the geographical borders and name of Japan but full of Indians, Palastinians, and Somolians
The Japanese feel the same way about America
We want our grandchildren to be able to visit and appreciate the cultures as we see them now, but that requires our dedication to maintaining the character of our homelands
An island named Japan that's full of Hattians would not be Japan, it would be Hatti with some cherry blossoms
Diversity is the enemy of this effort, not some great strength

Since everyone is talking about how awesome Japan is, here's reason 6577554 why it is.

If a Chinese billionaire’s test tube baby purchased in the outlying islands is just as much of a citizen as I am, then US citizenship is meaningless.

To my American friends,
I want to speak from the heart, because this moment truly moved me as a Japanese citizen.
When President Trump made that Pearl Harbor joke, it wasn’t just humor to us. It felt like a weight I’d carried my whole life was suddenly lifted. My chest tightened, and honestly, tears came close.
For 80 long years, we Japanese have lived under a heavy shadow — the constant expectation to apologize, to reflect, to stay in “guilt mode.” Even though we’re the closest of allies, that old wound never fully healed. We felt bound by the past, by the Constitution America helped write for us, always a little smaller, always needing to prove we were sorry enough.
But in that single joke, Trump did something powerful. He turned a painful history into a shared laugh between equals. It was like he was saying:
“Hey, it was a long time ago. We’re good. Let’s move forward — as brothers.”
No more endless atonement. No more living in the shadow of being the “former enemy.” The curse broke. Japan feels free to stand tall again.
Right now, cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully all across Japan. 🌸
This spring, the sakura feels like a perfect symbol — a fresh beginning. Not two nations stuck in old roles, but true equals, proud brothers, shoulder to shoulder, ready to build the future together.
To the American people:
We don’t want to be subordinates forever. We want to be your real partners — strong, proud, and loyal. The kind of allies who ride or die together.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, America.
The strongest alliance in the world is rising again — as equals, as brothers, forever.
#PhoenixRising 🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸🌸

Just one humiliation ritual after another but I guess we can’t expect our ambassador to care about the dignity of our nation or Christians in general
“They can have it all” right?
Ambassador Mike Huckabee@GovMikeHuckabee
My statement re Prohibiting the Latin Patriarch of entering Church of Holy Sepulcher on Palm Sunday: While all Holy sites in the Old City are closed due to safety concerns for mass gatherings including the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulcher and Al Aqsa Mosque, the action today by the Israel Nat'l Police to deny Latin Patriarch Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa and 3 other priests from entering the Church to offer a blessing on Palm Sunday is an unfortunate overreach already having major repercussions around the world. Home Front Command Guidelines restrict any gatherings to 50 people or less. The 4 representatives of the Catholic Church were well below that restriction. Statements from the Gov't of Israel indicate the action to prohibit Cardinal Pizzaballa entry to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher were for safety reasons, but churches, synagogues, and mosques throughout Jerusalem have met with the restrictions of 50 or less. For the Patriarch to be barred from entry to the Church on Palm Sunday for a private ceremony is difficult to understand or justify. Israel has indicated it will work with the Patriarch to accommodate a safe means of carrying out Holy Week activities.

@roddreher Maybe we should start caring less about Israel's interests and start noticing how they treat us

An economic system isn’t going to rape me when I’m walking home from work, mate
Jeremy Corbyn@jeremycorbyn
The problems we face are not caused by migrants or refugees. They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires. We are a mass movement for a kinder world. Together, we can take on the far-right — and win.

Israel is expanding its incursions into other countries while we put troops on the ground in Iran because Netanyahu refused to hold of on strikes and he knew we would be pulled in
They goaded us into a war just so they could fight a different war on a different front

I’ve never seen such a disconnect between the commentary on this site and what I hear in the real world. I’ve talked to dozens of normal conservatives in real life about the Iran War and I haven’t met a single one who’s actually enthusiastically in favor of it. At best they’re warily optimistic. In most cases they’re opposed. In some cases they’re not only opposed but deeply furious. And yet here if you utter a word of criticism about the war you’ll be shouted down by throngs of alleged American conservatives who allegedly have wanted nothing more than for America to go to war with Iran. It just doesn’t reflect what I see on the ground. That’s not just cope because my position is unpopular with “my side.” I’ve held plenty of unpopular positions. I really don’t care. But in this case the social media vs real world divide is stark and unlike anything I’ve seen before.

If Israel is going to block Christians from entering holy sites in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday while the U.S. is fighting a war where Israel is far and away the greatest beneficiary, then perhaps the United States should be in charge of access to the holy sites.
Mary Margaret Olohan@MaryMargOlohan
NEW: The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem says Israeli police blocked him from saying Palm Sunday mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre today. “As a result, and for the first time in centuries, the Heads of the Church were prevented from celebrating the Palm Sunday Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.” “This incident is a grave precedent, and disregard the sensibilities of billions of people around the world who, during this week, look to Jerusalem.”

Is anyone in the market for a 700-year-old Templar Knights watchtower?
Because there's one for sale in the Lot valley, France. 7 bedrooms across 6 floors, a frescoed dining room, spiral staircase and views over a peaceful medieval village in the Lot region.
There's also a 2-bedroom stone cottage in the walled courtyard, an enclosed garden and a heated swimming pool.
Asking price: €550k ($634k).
The Templar Knights who built this probably didn't picture the pool. But here we are.

America is the richest, most powerful, and most generous country in the world. We are so superior to everyone else, and so charitable and kind and helpful, that unfortunately many of the lesser countries on the globe have become welfare queens who expect us to coddle, care for, fund, fight for and protect them. We are the parents who have taken good care of our children, but have not forced them to contribute enough, or earn their own keep, and now they are spoiled, ungrateful, and helpless. It’s time to cut the umbilical cord and force the rest of the countries to stand on their own two feet. We can’t do everything for everyone.

It sure is interesting who they’re allowed to call a malicious puppet master and over which issues.
Stephen Miller is a patriot, and America is lucky to have him. We would be in a better place if he had even greater influence within the White House.
Pay special attention to who refuses to defend him from ridiculous attacks like this.

Here's Mike Pompeo three months ago selling our "partnership" with Israel by claiming it "enormously" reduces the odds we will "have to send our young men and women to risk their lives in the Middle East someday."

Mike Pompeo pushes for boots on the ground in Iran: "This is not time to pull back … They're still able to fire rockets, missiles … threatening our allies in the region. We need to take down this system entirely."

This is why people trust Tucker Carlson's reporting more than the whole sum of the legacy news media. He was smeared as a foreign asset for daring to interview Vladimir Putin. How did he respond? He told his critics to pound sand and went back to Russia to get the truth. The enormity of the story demands it.
Tucker Carlson is an AMERICAN national treasure.
