I recently spent two weeks in Japan, and I have to say, the trip really opened my eyes to just how much better we could be doing here in America.
I’m not exaggerating. Some of the differences were shocking.
Here are a few things I noticed:
- In two weeks traveling through some of the most densely populated cities in the world, I saw TWO visibly homeless people. TWO!
I saw just ONE person who appeared to be struggling with drug addiction.
- The high-speed rail system was incredible. Clean, affordable, fast, and efficient. Meanwhile, Americans are still arguing about whether high-speed rail is even worth building.
- I never once felt unsafe walking around with my kids, even in massive cities surrounded by thousands of people.
- There were barely any public trash cans, yet somehow the streets were almost spotless.
- The difference in income inequality was noticeable. The infrastructure, housing, and public services reflected a society that seems to take much more pride in making everyday life work for everyone.
Now, I already know what some people on the right are going to say.
“Japan doesn’t have mass immigration!”
“Japan isn’t run by Democrats!”
OK, but can we stop turning EVERYTHING into a partisan argument for five minutes?
Japan isn’t perfect. It has its own serious problems, and I’m not pretending two weeks makes me an expert on the country.
But what I saw made one thing painfully obvious to me.
We have normalized so many problems in America that we’ve convinced ourselves they’re simply unavoidable.
Homelessness. Dirty streets. Failing infrastructure. Terrible public transportation. People feeling unsafe in their own communities.
Why?
We are one of the wealthiest nations in human history. We have the money. We have the technology. We have the talent.
What we seem to lack is the willingness to stop making excuses and demand better.
I’m proud to be an American. But being proud of your country shouldn’t mean pretending other countries haven’t figured out how to do certain things better.
Patriotism isn’t ignoring America’s problems. It’s wanting America to be better.
And after spending two weeks in Japan, I’m more convinced than ever that we can do a whole lot better.

If this is a telecommunications outage as Mullin claims, launch the Starlinks right, they did it for the 2024 election?? Why go through all of this? I am not buying their BS!
No lie. I mean they lie. Every single one of the cabinet members have severe personality disorders. I think that for any of them are put up for a cabinet position that they should submit to a psychological evaluation.
No matter what is happening with the FAA, we will never know the full truth. If the Trump Administration told the truth, we wouldn't believe it because they've lied so much. What a shitty time for America when you can't even trust the President and his Cabinet with our safety.

🚨Terrifying video out of #NewOrleans/#Lousiana. The moments an American heritage passenger cruise ship starts to sink with passengers onboard in the Mississippi River. Early reports suggest at least 12 people in the water.

Notice how Obama deals with protesters compared to how Trump calls them ugly, makes fun of them, and cheers on others assaulting them.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has rejected the idea that Russia needs security guarantees, declaring that nobody has ever attacked the country.
Speaking in Dublin, she insisted that the EU must resist Moscow's demands for a new pan-European security architecture before the end of the Ukraine conflict.
“We have one aggressor and one victim. The aggressor doesn’t have security concerns, as nobody has ever attacked them. They have attacked others.”

Omar on Hegseth's disruptions at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier: That was just really disappointing and very sad. It's telling just how childish he is and the people he keeps around him. It was a somber moment to honor veterans—and he should know better.

Crow to @MacFarlaneNews: That just once again shows how cavalier and irresponsible they are at our nation's most sacred ground, Arlington National Cemetery.
I couldn't help but think about what's unfolded this week. You have Donald Trump wanting to build an arch which would obscure the view of the cemetery, and then Pete Hegseth and his crew rolling up and laughing and joking during a very somber event.
The disrespect for our veterans and for our military just continues, which is why I'm going to continue to do everything I can to remove Pete Hegseth from the Pentagon.

Johnson on Pete Hegseth's group laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier:
Unsurprising because he has no respect for tradition and decorum—just a buffoon, a bull in the china shop [who] has done a lot of damage

Johnson on Jensen Huang: it's a tragedy for him and his family, and it's detrimental to the security of our nation...This is a guy who Donald Trump called at 2 o'clock in the morning or 5:00 a.m., whatever. And so there's no telling what Donald Trump told Huang who then may have disclosed it to his female friend.

Amo on Jensen Haung:
You reap what you sow. The fact of the matter is Jensen Huang could find himself in compromising positions to ultimately affect a technology that's not only impacting frontier models, but like the pensions of so many Americans who are invested in this company. You know, so it's pure irresponsibility.
It's an unfortunate circumstance, certainly for the march towards innovation and certainly for an essential technological, you know, advantage that the United States has had. But I think we can weather it. No one person can be above the scrutiny of the American people and good values and behavior, and I think we saw just that.

Amo on Hegseth: I bit my tongue yesterday because it was Veterans Day and he is a veteran, but I would say, look, this is another example of why this unqualified person—who has wrought real pain for the American people: 23 service members lost, innocent civilians died, on top of that, the high cost of living for the American people—he shows again that he doesn't take this seriously.
The Pentagon is not a television studio for him to rehearse for his next show on Fox. And this nonsense has got to stop. I'm going to vote to impeach him when that comes up again. I hope he has the good sense to know that he's in the wrong place, he's the wrong man at the wrong time, and he's got to go. Hegseth, peace.
