In the past, Le Penn had won several times in the First round.
The election is gamed to squeeze out the Far Right in the Second round.
Now with the Centrists in third place I wonder if the Left and Centrists will join together like the past and squeeze out Le Penn.
Times have changed and maybe Le Penn party might thrive.

@
TaiwanIsNotChina,
So why do countries way smaller than Japan and Korea worldwide do not have American bases in their countries, even in majority of Asian countries?
This stuff is from old wars and war talk from USA to have bases.
Wherever USA goes, it's war.
Japan should not be a poodle for USA wars.

Posted in: Japan gov't says health impact of PFAS chemicals undeniable See in context
My city here in USA closed its 3 wells due to high concentration of PFAS some months ago.
It is evaluating it's options as next steps as the layers of PFAS could grow wider over time where the wells were. Some studies say it could shrink over time.
All costly new options like building a treatment facility to remove the PFAS and new wells.
Right now buying water from another more expensive entity.

I voted NO and the voting was very biased in the Elon elected board using languages to steer people to YES.

Posted in: 17-year-old boy arrested for assaulting father over smartphone game argument See in context
I always worry at the Health club when schools out and the teenagers have been kicked out of the house for being a nuisance playing video games or watching videos on tick tock.
They do the same at the Health club, occupying a machine and not exercising.
People like me have limited time during lunch times to exercise and can't wait for the teenagers to stop watching videos.
I ask them how many sets the have and they are clueless as to what I am asking and go back to watching videos.
I have said quite a few times that if they want to watch videos, they should use the bench and not waste other's time.
I always wonder if the teenagers may smack me with the phone or a punch for annoying them.

It is not for the best interests for both Bibi and Hamas to have a ceasefire and peace as both benefit from conflict.
Hamas would not exist without conflict and Bibi would have to face many prosecutions once he is no longer the leader in Israel. He will delay elections as long as he can.

Stunned that anyone would leave first-world Japan to live in super dangerous Paraguay to work on a farm.
I have been to Paraguay and it's not a dangerous country.
I enjoyed my time in Paraguay.
Like in most Latin, Asian, African, Arab, European countries, there are areas which are no go and the residents are aware of them.
These two Japanese brothers seem like have been living there for a while and we do not know the circumstances of their deaths.

The total cost of owning a EV is much higher than a gas or hybrid.
The repair costs are high, tires wear out quickly as the cars are heavy.
I myself will continue to use my 22 years old 2002 Mercedes Benz CLK430 V8 AMG.
Keep maintain it and nothing wrong with it. It's got 250,000 miles on it and I could put another 250,000 on it without any issues.
