Notice how they have not said what any of these "stricter measures" will entail? I'm going to guess "a stern talking to" on top of asking them to not stalk anymore.... then wait for a corpse. I guess technically it's a tougher measure.

but baldwin didn’t do any hiring of crew.

the armourer was woefully negligent. it was all her responsibility. any fool off the street would know to have no live ammunition on set and ensure only blanks were loaded.

she even allowed other crew members to fire live rounds with the weapon for fun during breaks.

they were rehearsing the scene when the cinematographer was killed. she told baldwin to aim directly at her.

during the filming of the scene, baldwin was supposed to do the same thing and fire the weapon. she would have been killed then.

it was not an accident, it was pure negligence on the part of the armourer.

I didn't even realize the Games had been decided for 2032. Well done Aus., I guess? Anyway, if you're seriously looking at scrapping an old stadium instead of rebuilding, look at Tokyo's fiasco and how much it has cost them (us).

Yes, but the turnout was 77%. And out of those who voted, he got 87%. Try comparing that to elections won by leaders of NATO countries.

you do realize no one with even a little intelligence believes that?

The US military is a lot more powerful than it was 150 years ago. I suspect any civil war will be a short one.

That’s what both sides thought marching to Manassas in the summer of 1861.

”The US military” was both sides. It was a sectional war.

Crack a book.

These include anti-government militias clashing with federal forces, 

Antifa clashed with neither federal forces nor federalized national guard units. In fact, rarely with local police and that was when they besieged police precinct houses.

Oh, you say antifa is not an anti-government militia? If it looks like a duck …

no one wanted to be the guy in power when it was time to tackle it.

Right. And with Kishida san's approval ratings plummeting to zero, he is the ideal fall guy.

I think that it's more than important time in more northerly countries than here.

Where I'm from,West Penwith in Cornwall in U.K, it's a significant transition.

Here in the Ryukyus,not so much.

NATO is doing a great job of keeping its members safe, of working and training together to keep it that way. I really wish my country could join NATO. I would feel a lot safer and happier if they were.

NATO is more needed and relevant today than ever before. Membership should be opened up world wide as long as prospective members can qualify. The worlds biggest alliance that nobody wants to mess with, for obvious reasons. They dont want to lose.

US $1 soon to be ¥160.

Massive shot in the arm for inbound tourism and connected industries - as well as Japanese exporters.

Not with guns they don't. Shouting and punching are really weak tea.

And on that point, the same applies to us as well. The left have all the money and the right the guns, both sides of the same coin, interchangeable.

0.1% increase? That's nothing. It will have little to no impact on anything. Despite what panic merchants may say.

Nothing to see here. Carry on.

So why is the crime so high blue suburban cities, legitimate question. Answer please. Funny that the left don’t want to answer that question.

Because there are only blue cities and purple suburbs.

The difference is the liberals wouldn't be dumb enough to take on the military. 

They take on the police so…

"Plenty of JT contributors (not me) over the years claimed that the BOJ was trapped, unable to raise its rates or otherwise tighten"

Patting yourself on the back when the Bank has moved from "Negative Rates" to "Zero Percent" rates is certainly, at the very least, premature!

Problem is, Japan's inflation was actually in a downward trend and so it is odd that we are raising rates now before inflation would be considered "stable". A small rate hike will likely not impact as drastically as we think, but I do wonder if this will spiral us back to a deflationary state. Hopefully this hike sets us at 0.0% for now so that we can observe for a little bit.

Another factor supporting the shift: Japanese companies have announced relatively robust wage hikes for this year's round of negotiations with trade unions.

Wages and profits at companies were improving, the Bank of Japan said, in releasing its latest decision, referring to “anecdotal” accounts as well as data it had gathered lately.

I'll believe it when I see it.

They take on the police so…

The police don't carry that big of guns usually and the suburbs are not low in crime because they have more police.

So why is the crime so high blue suburban cities, legitimate question. Answer please. Funny that the left don’t want to answer that question.
