What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 218 & BENKYO RADIO 218.

There is only ONE WEEK left until the Presidential Election. Isn’t this amazing? We are finally there! Almost! Many of us have already voted early or voted with an absentee ballot. It is so important to vote. This is your civic duty. You must help millions of Americans who are experiencing hardships. We need to help people in need. Remember what I said in a blog post many months ago. I specifically said that Republicans play dirty, and Democrats play nice, and Dems lose, and Republicans make wins. I am so fucking tired of this double-standard. Look how much scrutiny was on Al Franken. He was considered the worst person in the world over that controversy. People ruthlessly ended his career. Meanwhile, look at what Trump has done. Look at all the warnings. Everybody is complaining about him, and yet, nothing changes. He wins more. He has appointed so many new Supreme Court justices over the past 4 years that it’s now got a Conservative majority. Do you see this madness? I am here to warn y’all. I am here to say those goddamn GOP are going to go full “House of Cards” over the next week. I want all Democrats to be “all hands on deck.” We cannot afford to be intimidated by this Trump collective entity of criminal behavior.

WE CAN DO THIS, WE CAN ELECT JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS, WE CAN WIN BACK THE SENATE, MORE DEMS IN THE HOUSE, SO ON AND SO FORTH. IF YOU NEED A MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH, IMAGINE WHAT NOT VOTING WILL DO. YOU MUST EDUCATE YOURSELF AND VOTE. THE FATE OF THESE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD IS IN YOUR HANDS, DO NOT TAKE THIS LIGHTY.

Don’t forget to wear a mask, use social-distancing, and wash your hands.

Until next time!
