So, the two people you criticize, you know their religion. You don’t know? Oh, but they must be religious because of their viewpoint. You hate religion and you hate their opinion, so the two must go together. Okay, got it.

Japan summers have been hot for a long time. Tokyo was 39.5 in 2004 ( the city record). As I said. The last 10-20 years have been the hottest summers. I think 2018 was Kyoto’s hottest. The older folks say it used to be “much cooler”, but records show you have to go all the way back to near Meiji era to find a really big difference in Japan’s climate. ( You can download these records)

Last year was not the record for Tokyo, but temperatures have been hot most every summer the last 10 or 20 years, or even more. In 1994, it was very hot. Temperatures around the Japan record of 41 degrees have been flirted with many times. This is a record that’s just waiting to fall.

Not being political, but hot weather around this level occurs in Japan every summer. Why do people pretend that it doesn’t?

Stock photo. Oh, okay. So, I guess there is a purpose for having “stock photos”. So, what is the purpose of having this one?

When is Japan going to say farewell to 30 degrees being the gold standard for a “sweltering summer” temperature. That is now a very warm May Day. Please say goodbye to Meiji era “what my teacher told us” education.

Regarding comments on JT today, the comments on the article about Biden appearing on stage with Elton John have been stopped after a mere 11 comments! (Probably my comment here will be deleted as “off topic”. But I’m just saying wow, that’s all)

(Regarding above observations)

I don’t think you can fault them for not saying more about “origin”. They refer to his name which obviously indicates he is a national. What more do you need to know?

Look at the picture above of the two of them - Trump on one side and Biden on the other. Their faces tell the whole story of the difference between them.

On the issue of migrants, Trump justly brought up the case of the murder and rape of a 12-year-old girl in Texas by two migrants. Perhaps because it was given scant attention by mainstream media.

So is this referring to two different cases? Both names are Clayton, but one is James and one is Jamel? Confusing.

Somehow I’ve always kind of liked Renho. An individual aspect to her. Like strong women to be leaders.

I wouldn’t want to be in Edmonton tonight. It must be pretty glum.

The woman probably saw another- or others - beginning to cross, so she may have casually started out crossing. She was on the inside left of the crossing. Didn’t notice that the pedestrian to her right had stopped. Bus coming across was not at right angles to her and, even out of the corner of her eye, might not have been visible to her as it came across the intersection. She was perhaps over-confident but it looked ( to me) like the bus should have been a little more careful.

I would expect more congratulations from posters considerating they rave for other females who never win.

As to the question, when will Palestinians rise up against their Hamas controllers? : Well, you have to ask yourself how many in the population actually support Hamas and its campaign against Israel? Many of us would like to think it’s only a small number, perhaps 10%. But some surveys indicate a different picture - of perhaps 60-70%, or even higher. And many of these sympathize with the Hamas attack of October 7th, which can lead you to conclude they would approve of more “October 7ths”.

Keep this mind when you consider whatever course of action Israel should be taking.

People on here criticizing McCartney for being so rich are presumably just as angry for Taylor Swift achieving that much or more, and comparatively overnight. Well, are you?

It’s a short news article. Reread it and ask yourself, “How is this even possible?” How does a man, supposedly looking after children, manage the time to take his pants down and take out his genitalia? And, of course, presume he will get away with it? It is just totally crazy.

Arrested them, and?…And then what? Put them in jail? Fine them? What?

So many knife attacks!

Is it not against the law to carry a knife? Why does a person carry a knife unless they’re looking to use it?

They’re always talking about this. But nothing really changes. Bicycle riding is dangerous to pedestrians as well as dangerous to the riders themselves. One of the dangers to riders is - other riders! Do you see them piled up together at traffic signal stops? ( That’s IF they stop ) As far as riding on the road, we’ll good but that’s also dangerous because roads are too narrow! So, if you’re a rider, you’re always under stress from a car driver coming perilously close to you.

It comes down to the usual problem of Japan. Of having dug itself into dilemmas from which there simply is no escape.

It’s no joke, that crowd at a Trump rally, and you know it. And if this trial gets cleared away, and Trump is back on the campaign trail with rallies, people will be shaking in their boots. You know it.

I SAW the crowd on YouTube. A lotta people. Wearing red hats. In New Jersey, a blue state.

Ask yourself, how many people would Biden get for a rally in a red state? Actually, ask yourself how many would he get in a blue state? Actually, ask yourself how many would he get to get out of their chairs to greet him when he walked in a restaurant? A few, sadly.

Trump rally had over 100,000 people attending in Wildwood, New Jersey a day or two ago.

New Jersey! A Democrat state. 100,000 people out there for a Trump rally. What does that tell you?

Dershowitz says Trump has committed no crime in this case. Check the Dershowitz cast.

Will Japan media please give up the fandom for this woman every time she manages a first round victory? Save it for when she does something really significant, okay?

So, how exactly is dementia to be defined anyway? Like absent mindedness? Short term memory loss? A lot of people have that problem when they’re in their 20s. But then if they have a “dementia test” when they’re old, they’ll get written off for the way they just always were. Like a joke.

Japan is not so stupid as to ignore the crime problem in the United States.

Drake is a Toronto guy and I often wonder if his influence moved young gang warfare from the northern suburbs into the downtown club area of the city.

I have to admit that I feel a knee-jerk bias when I see the word “truck driver”.
