A bear injured four people after wandering into a residential area of Fukushima, Japan today.
The bear first attacked two workers at a steel plant before moving into a nearby neighbourhood and injuring two more people, including an 80 year old woman.
Schools were temporarily closed and residents told to stay indoors while authorities searched for the bear.
According to NHK, at least 23 people have been injured by bears in nine prefectures this year. The Ministry of the Environment has confirmed that three of these people died.

The scale of destruction to Virginia’s coastline is hard to imagine unless you visit it… the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project is obliterating Virginia Beach’s waters… 800 foot tall @DominionEnergy windmills… everywhere

Alligators are in almost every body of water where I live and they don’t scare me like this thing in the picture.
There are seven types of venomous snakes in my state.
But water moccasins, a.k.a. cottonmouths are the ones I fear the most because I swear it has the best camouflage when it is in the woods.
And these damn things can bite you underwater!!
Thankfully, this photo is not from my property. 😳

Harry Truman left the White House with almost nothing.
No large fortune.
No presidential pension.
No motorcade waiting to carry him into retirement.
On January 20, 1953, Harry and Bess Truman climbed into their own Chrysler and drove themselves home to Independence, Missouri.
His approval ratings were low. Critics called his presidency a failure. Much of Washington was relieved to see him leave office.
What shocked many people later was how little money a former president actually received at the time.
Truman’s only steady income came from a small Army pension worth just over one hundred dollars a month. Financial pressure became so serious that he reportedly needed bank loans simply to cover daily living expenses.
The situation became so embarrassing for the country that Congress eventually created pensions for former presidents.
But Truman never spent his retirement chasing sympathy or public praise.
Back in Independence, he returned to a simple routine. He walked through town without heavy security. He answered his own telephone. He personally responded to letters from ordinary Americans.
On his desk remained the famous sign:
“The buck stops here.”
While Truman lived quietly, the impact of his presidency continued growing.
The Marshall Plan helped rebuild Europe after World War II.
The Truman Doctrine became a foundation of American Cold War policy.
In 1948, he ordered the desegregation of the United States military despite fierce political opposition.
When General Douglas MacArthur publicly challenged presidential authority during the Korean War, Truman removed him from command, protecting civilian control of the military even though the decision damaged his popularity.
Then history delivered one final moment of recognition.
In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson traveled to the Truman Library to sign Medicare into law. During the ceremony, Johnson handed the first Medicare cards to Harry and Bess Truman.
It carried special meaning because Truman had pushed for national health insurance decades earlier and faced enormous backlash for it at the time.
By the end of his life, public opinion had changed dramatically.
The man once dismissed as weak and unpopular came to be viewed as one of the most consequential presidents of the twentieth century.
Harry Truman never chased applause.
He simply accepted responsibility for difficult decisions and lived long enough to see history reconsider them.

Week by week, this vessel is putting up windmills hundreds of feet tall off Virginia Beach. Virginians are paying $20+ Billion in their electric bills. The vessel alone cost almost a billion dollars

On this day in 1805, an American commodore parked a fleet outside a North African harbor and ended a war without firing a single shot.
Most Americans have never heard his name. He is the reason the United States Navy exists in the form it does today.
The First Barbary War had been grinding on for four years. The Pasha of Tripoli, Yusuf Karamanli, had been seizing American merchant ships and enslaving their crews for over a decade, demanding tribute from a young republic that could barely pay its own army. Thomas Jefferson, who hated standing militaries on principle, had finally decided enough was enough. He sent a squadron.
It went badly. The USS Philadelphia ran aground off Tripoli in 1803 and her entire crew was captured. Stephen Decatur famously snuck in and burned her at anchor to keep the Pasha from refloating her, which Lord Nelson called "the most bold and daring act of the age." But the war dragged on.
By spring 1805, the squadron commander Samuel Barron was sick, exhausted, and ready to quit. On May 22, 1805, he handed command to John Rodgers.
Rodgers did not waste time.
He had inherited four frigates, three brigs, a sloop-of-war, three schooners, two bomb vessels, and nine gunboats. The largest American fleet ever assembled to that date. Four days after taking command, he sailed the entire force directly into the harbor at Tripoli and dropped anchor in plain view of the Pasha's palace.
No bombardment. No threats. He just sat there.
The Pasha looked at his harbor, looked at twenty-two American warships pointed at his city, looked at his options, and sued for peace within the week.
The treaty was signed June 4, 1805. The American hostages came home. The Barbary states never seriously challenged American shipping again. And the United States Navy, four years old, had just forced a hostile foreign power to surrender by showing up.
Every great power moment since traces back to that anchor drop in Tripoli harbor.
221 years ago today. Almost nobody teaches this.

The charges were solid and deserved. The charges were dropped because she is a black woman, and so is the judge. It's not deeper than that. It rarely is.
It's just pure, unbridled, racial favoritism.
