What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1050 & BENKYO RADIO 1050. Listen, Goddamnit, I am started to get upset about the number of Police Officers in France who are registered for Front National (RN), this is an embarrassment to our great nation. That’s not a reflection of the entire police force, as completely bewildering as it may sounds, some officers even vote for the left. There is a rise of the Ultra-Right in France, there could be a coup d’état if we are not careful. I am tired of Marine LePen laughing, she is from a family of Nazis. This shit is terrible. Watch this documentary (in French).

Also, #TheTrumpShow has been a terrible creation by evil forces in our government, forces more powerful than the FBI. These individuals are known to work in the Intelligence Agencies, including Trump supporters within the DIA who were heard on audio tape. It has become incredibly almost impossible to get this done, Mueller couldn’t do it, Jack Smith must gets this done, Trump is off the ballot in Colorado, #MAGAcult is fascism, black people have gone missing, I am tired of everybody playing with their thumbs, all this fucking waiting almost brought the Fourth Reich upon America. Wake the fuck up, arrest everybody in this #MAGAcult aka KKK-wannabes, I should be in France watching Stade Rennais or in England watching Manchester United. I’m exhausted.

Until Next Time!
