What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 231 & BENKYO RADIO 231.

It’s time for some celebration. Today, the Electoral College will cast their vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Finally. It’s time for things to calm down. There are only about 30-some days left until Joe Biden is sworn into office. As you know, while millions of Americans are feeling high level of stress and turmoil, there are many of us who sworn not to Trump and his cronies, but to the U.S. Constitution. The Election took place. Joe Biden won. He will be our next President. He will become the 46th President of these United States. America needs leadership. America does not need a man who ran a chain of hotels and only paid $750 in taxes for the past decade and half. I need to read and analyze my copy of Foreign Affairs, and Le Monde diplomatique. I need to make decisions. That’s what people in the Intelligence Community and Military folks, and Diplomats have to do EVERY FUCKING DAY. We do not have time for a “Trump Reality Show” and trust us, after January 20th 2021, we’ll CANNOT wait to drink a celebration beer/liquor and say WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS PAST 4 YEARS, ESPECIALLY 2020. I want Biden to be boring. I want him to be super boring. I want him to do his job, for his staff to do their job. I want all that to happen, because we gotta focus on Operation Warp Speed for the next couple of months. It is imperative that we vaccinate the entire American population. The sooner we do that, the sooner we keep wearing masks, the sooner we can return to life back to normal. Please follow current lockdown guidelines. The hospitals are running out of ICUs. Stay strong. Remember, you’re not asked to storm Normandy beach. You’re asked to stay home, and wear a mask, and social distance. We do need to subsidized wages by the government. Canada is doing it, Japan, Norway, Germany, France, England and Italy. USA? 0.0% of wages. This is an outrage. Let’s make a change. Congress cannot go on break until they resolve this. We must pass a COVID-19 relief bill, and a second stimulus check. I’ve called my congressman, and my senator. I suggest you do the same thing.

I want to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I’ll try to post one more update before Christmas if I can.

I’m also done almost done reading the Naruto manga! There are 72 volumes! Sheesh! Just in time until Trump is done and Biden begins! Woohoo!

Cyberpunk 2077 looks amazing! I can’t wait for the upcoming patches so I can play this!

Until next time!
