Some politicians have a foreign-policy worldview with one organizing principle: if something is happening anywhere on Earth, Israel is probably the problem. At least Chris Van Hollen is saying the quiet part out loud.

Americans, this can't be real 🎓
I read that ONE year of US college
can cost more than $50,000.
In Japan, even private university
is a fraction of that.
Is $200,000 for a degree actually normal??
How does anyone afford it? Drop your state 😳

Ours is an old country, millennia in the making. And to suggest - to insist - that we would be somehow lost without the Windrush Generation is a kind of folly close to being demented.

“The barbarians never take a city until someone holds the gates open for them.”
In 2009, Christopher Hitchens issued a direct warning that Britain has since ignored at its peril.
He urged the British people to resist the encroachments of radical Islam while they still could before the right to voice dissent or even mild complaint was taken away from them.
That day has arrived.
Hitchens saw how the term “Islamophobia” was already being smuggled into the culture, not as a defense against genuine prejudice, but as a weapon to equate any criticism of Islamic doctrine or its absolutist preachings with racism and bigotry.
This rhetorical tactic was advanced by radical Islamist networks, including Muslim Brotherhood affiliates, and enthusiastically adopted by progressive clergy, Christian and Jewish alike, along with the multiculturalist establishment in academia, media, and the bureaucracy.
The result is exactly what Hitchens predicted. A de facto alliance between multicultural leftism and Islamist absolutism.
One side eroded cultural confidence and free speech norms to hold the gates open.
The other is now advancing through the breach.
The choice is no longer abstract. Either the West fights to dismantle this alliance and its grip on its institutions, or the people of the West will forfeit their country, their culture, and their civilization.
Heed Hitchens’s warning.
Resist while you still can.

@japan_nobunaga Canada was once a great Nation. Great people with strong ties to the UK & Ireland, it was an alternative version of the US. Now with the Left in control it is nothing. My hope is for Alberta to secede from Ottawa but thats up to Albertans!

A Canadian messaged me last week.
He said: I agree with everything you post.
I cannot say any of it at work.
I asked: what would happen if you did?
He said: reported to HR. Investigated. Probably let go.
He lives in Canada.
Not China. Not Russia.
Canada.
So yes.
A Japanese account in Tokyo will keep posting.
Until he can say it himself again.

The Japan Imam Council recently called for “calm and fair dialogue” with Japanese society.
That sounds reasonable.
Japan protects freedom of religion. Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, atheists — everyone has the right to believe, worship, and live peacefully under the law.
But dialogue cannot be one-way.
According to a Japanese civic group called the “Association for Considering Responses to Islam under the Constitution of Japan,” they requested a meeting with the Japan Imam Council and sent documents in both Japanese and English.
They say the mail was refused and returned.
To be clear, refusing mail may be legally allowed.
But that is not the main issue.
The issue is trust.
If a religious organization asks Japanese society for understanding, then it should also be willing to receive questions, concerns, and criticism from Japanese citizens.
Many Japanese people are not asking for conflict.
They are asking basic questions:
Will Islamic institutions follow Japanese law?
How should local communities handle mosque construction?
What about public noise, schools, burial customs, public facilities, and local rules?
How will Islamic leaders explain these issues to Japanese society?
These are not automatically “hate.”
In a democracy, concerns from citizens deserve answers.
Americans understand this very well.
Religious freedom does not mean being free from public questions.
Civil rights come with civic responsibility.
If the Japan Imam Council truly wants coexistence, it should not only ask Japan to listen.
It should also listen to Japan.
Explain.
Answer.
Meet.
Discuss.
That is how trust is built.
Calling for dialogue while refusing the conversation only creates more suspicion.
Coexistence does not begin with “You must understand us.”
It begins with, “Let us talk honestly.”

Hello from Japan 🇯🇵👋
I'm Japanese, and many of us learn English

I have a question for Americans 🇺🇸🙋
What second language do Americans usually learn?
Spanish? French? Something else?
I'm really curious! 😊

Same location. Nobody in the Creek Bed this time, but Tent Town is well on its way to becoming Tent City. Meanwhile, addicts loiter at 7-Eleven. Our once world class city has been trashed. You can hardly go anywhere in Austin anymore without seeing these scenarios, and you can thank the Soros DA, Wren Collective's destructive anti-prison agenda, and the fact that, despite millions in funding to combat homelessness, they are still everywhere, and in fact increasing at the same rate NGO funding is.
