I asked 30 Japanese 12-year-olds one question. "What do you think of when you hear 'America'?" (My nephew's teacher let me visit his class. I was not prepared.) "Hamburgers the size of my head." "Everything is big. Even the milk." "Cowboys." Then a boy asked me, "Do cowboys still exist?" I said yes. The whole class cheered. "They went to the moon." I told them only Americans have ever walked on it. The room went completely silent. Respect. "The best baseball in the world. Even Ohtani had to go there." "Superheroes. They all live in New York." Then a quiet girl in the back raised her hand. "My grandma says when the tsunami came, American soldiers came to help her town. She still has a photo with them on her fridge." Nobody said anything for a while. Then the teacher asked, "Who wants to go to America someday?" Every hand went up. Including the teacher's.

What amazes me is that we've made it this far in the election cycle, mere weeks from election day, and we still don't know what the Democrats' agenda is if they win. They have not proposed a single solution to anything. I mean, think about it. That's just stunning. For instance, what is the Democrats' plan to reduce the cost of gasoline? Nobody knows. What is their plan to reduce the cost of groceries? Nobody knows. What is their plan to secure the border? Nobody knows. And the media has managed to never even ask them.

🚨 JUST IN: Mike Rogers just dropped this closing statement to every Michigan voter against Abdul El Sayed and it's PURE GOLD "My opponent's vitriol is having CONSEQUENCES." "We cannot afford Abdul El Sayed's policies and we cannot risk his IDEOLOGY." "If you're a Haley Stevens voter and said he's too extreme, like so many Democrats...you'll have a HOME with US. Education, housing, taxes low, regulations for business so we can boom the economy...you have a home with us. I'd like to earn your vote." "Democrats are openly supporting Rogers. Jewish Democrats are afraid for their children when their daughters can't wear their Star of David walking across Michigan's campus!" "If you think about what's at stake in this election, it really isn't about left versus right anymore. It really is about the heart and soul of the country and who we are as Americans and the future we want for our children." 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 This guy is just an AMERICAN. Any common sense Michigan citizen who doesn't want to risk our national security in the Senate to an Islamists needs to go ROGERS! Rogers is going straight after Haley Stevens' (D) voters, the more moderate Democrats who backed her in the primary and watched El Sayed BEAT her while acting psycho If Abdul tanks in major Dem areas, he is done.

I'm a Japanese guy, and I've been posting about America in English every single day. My Japanese followers are leaving. Fair enough. They signed up for a guy who wrote in Japanese. My mother asked me, "Why America?" I showed her a photo of a 72-ounce steak from Texas. She stopped asking. Here's what you'll find here: → One Japanese word at a time that you can actually use. (Eshaku. Itterasshai. Many more coming.) → True stories of the times America and Japan had each other's backs. → American heroes Japan has never forgotten. → Questions I've always wanted to ask Americans. (Shoes in the house: verdict still pending.) And since we just met, a first word for you: "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu." There's no English for it. You say it at the start of something new. Roughly: "I'm in your hands. Please be good to me. I'll do my best for you, too." So: yoroshiku onegaishimasu, America. 🙇 Drop your state below so I know who I'm writing for. 👇

A BIG THANK YOU to our legendary friend, @ElonMusk, for his incredible generosity in giving SpaceX Stock to millions of American children through TRUMP ACCOUNTS! This is exactly what was envisioned when we created TRUMP ACCOUNTS — Bringing together the GREAT PRIVATE SECTOR, Elon and so many more, to invest in our children, by far our greatest and most important asset, and give every American Child a piece of the American Dream. Thank you Elon! President DONALD J. TRUMP

🚨 BOOM: Marine Le Pen just addressed France while Macron hid, and she said exactly what he won't. She blamed "DECADES of anarchic immigration" and decades of rioters walking away without paying for what they burned. She called Macron a "GHOSTLY" president with no authority who "has lost all contact with reality." She said the destruction came from an alliance of political wreckers, antifa groups, and thugs from the suburbs. Her fix is simple. If you BREAK it, you PAY for it. "Violence is not an opinion," she said. That is what leadership sounds like.
Vous avez vu hier nos villes, nos rues, notre pays, malmenés, maltraités, mis à sac. Nous vivons une crise profonde de confiance, d’autorité qui fait peser une menace sur la démocratie. Le constat doit nous alerter : notre pays est pris en étau, voire en otage, entre la violence et l’impuissance.

Elon Musk explains why school feels so boring School often gets learning backwards. Elon: "you want to teach to the problem instead of teaching the tools" Start with something real. Elon: "here's a car engine, we're going to try to understand how this car engine works. We're going to take it apart." To take it apart, you need tools. Elon: "along the way, you learn about wrenches and screwdrivers and all the tools that are needed" But that's not how school usually works. Elon: "we're going to teach you a course on screwdrivers and a course on wrenches. And you're like, why do I have a course on wrenches?" It's like learning to cook. A year of knife drills is torture. "Let's make tacos tonight" and you learn the knife in a day. Elon: "That would be like, say, a course on calculus without explaining what calculus is useful. And then you sort of forget it." Give people the "why" first. The "how" sticks.

The things that Data Republican is currently revealing are so outrageous and so shocking that many federal government insiders are simply dismissing them as being "not possible." Such people are wearing the blinders of human nature. Their loyalty to the institution of the federal government they were/are a part of blinds them to the misdeeds of people from that same institution. My article below explains; it's super short (~500 words). Please read if so inclined.

We knew it was happening. This is how. Repost and share! The world needs to see it!
The past few days, I got my hands on thousands of new transcripts and hundreds of recordings, thanks to leads from @SKDoubleDub33 and @iamlisalogan . You've heard that the DSA is proposing structural reforms to America, including abolishing the Senate and imposing term limits. What you not have heard is - there is an operational plan to put it all into action. If the Democratic Party sweeps 2026, then DSA will become "foot soldiers" in constant clashes with the administration to cross a "red line" or invoke a "doomsday scenario" - meaning, President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, probably sometime in 2027. Then, a lot of coordinated responses kick off, including delegitimizing the federal government itself and handing that legitimacy to Democratic governors. 2028 then becomes a vote on whether to keep America governance as-is or to burn it all down to appease a "young and brown" demographic. The mysterious group who's been coordinating 50501, Indivisible, and coordinating the NoKings protests is called "United Democracy Alliance" and their intellectual leader is Erica Chenoweth who came up with the 3.5% rule of nonviolent regime change. Patience. I know I've hyped this more than anything else. It's genuinely the biggest discovery I've had. This is an enormous archive. This is only the beginning.

To every American, and to everyone watching France burn from abroad: Do not blame the French people for this. We never asked for it. We never voted for it. And the one time we were clearly asked, we said no. Here are the numbers your media won't show you. 70% of the French say there are too many immigrants in France today. 79% want a tougher immigration policy. 77% disapprove of the government's record on immigration. 83% want foreign criminals and long-term unemployed foreigners sent home. And no, it's not just the old. 69% of French 18 to 24 year olds support suspending legal immigration for three years. This is not a fringe. This is the French people. In 2005, we were asked if we wanted the European Constitution. 55% voted no. Three years later, our politicians passed the same text under another name, through parliament, without ever asking us again. That is modern France in one sentence. The people say no. The elites do it anyway. So who is responsible? The politicians who lied to us. A class of leaders formed in the same schools, the same forums, the same networks, loyal to each other before they are loyal to their nations. In 2017, at Harvard, Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, bragged about his Young Global Leaders program in four words: "We penetrate the cabinets." He added that it was true in France. Emmanuel Macron was one of his Young Global Leaders. It's the same project in Brussels with Ursula von der Leyen and in Paris with Macron. Borders treated as an obstacle. Nations treated as relics. The people treated as a problem to be managed. What you are watching in France is not the French people failing. It is the end of the globalist project, an abject, quasi-communist dream of a world run by unelected planners. It is collapsing everywhere in Europe at once, and the West has to cut this cancer out before it takes the rest of the body with it. The peoples of Europe don't want this. They never did. So when you see our town halls burning, don't say "the French chose this." The French never chose this. They were forced into it. If you're French and you agree, repost this so the world hears it from us. If you're American, look at us carefully. Then choose differently on November 3rd.

I’ve spent a few days thinking about the Tesla Roadster reveal and landed somewhere I haven’t seen much discussion. I’m neither a Tesla fanboy nor a Tesla hater. And I couldn’t care less whether what we saw technically qualifies as a flying car. Three takeaways: (1) The risk of that live demonstration going horribly wrong was real. Almost no CEO would willingly expose their company to that kind of public humiliation for a product with so little financial upside. Elon did. (2) That willingness to attempt the seemingly impossible is what makes Tesla special. It’s also arguably Elon’s greatest contribution to America. He’s helped bring back something we’ve lost. The American spirit of chasing big scary ideas that most people think are impossible. That mindset is spreading across a new generation of founders and its long term impact on America’s future could dwarf anything Tesla ever sells. I think this is deeply underappreciated. (3) Can we just acknowledge how insanely cool that moment was? We’ve reached a strange place culturally where even extraordinary feats of human ingenuity immediately become arguments about why they don’t count. Not everything needs to be a debate. Sometimes we should just be able to stand back together and marvel at what humans are capable of. I’ve been both bullish and critical of Tesla’s ambitions over the years. But watching Elon and his team push the boundaries of what’s possible reminds me why I’m glad we have him. Whether the Roadster ever makes Tesla a dollar or impacts $TSLA stock price is almost beside the point. We need more people willing to risk failure in pursuit of things the rest of us think are impossible. Because when they succeed we all win.

Voters tend not to turnout for midterms because historically the difference between the two parties has been functionally negligible--it's always been like choosing between Coke or Pepsi. This year it's like choosing between drinking a glass of Coke or a glass of Drano drain cleaner. Folks who don't stay up on politics simply are unaware that the Democrat Party has been absorbed by a Communist/Jihadist alliance bent on destroying the Constitution and the American way of life. You might not like Coca-Cola. But drinking Drano will end your life.

Today, I received a threatening letter at my Grand Rapids, Michigan office that contained unidentified white powder. The letter, which claimed to be from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), made a direct and specific reference to an impending “civil war” beginning after the election. The letter sent to my office is similar to those received at other congressional offices across the country. The DSA has not yet addressed the attacks, either to condemn them or to take or deny responsibility. The Grand Rapids Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) responded immediately. Threats and extremism are not signs of strength—they are signs of a weak mind and weak character. Political intimidation has no place in our democracy, and leaders must condemn it, not excuse it. I’ll keep standing up to bullies on the right and the left.

Pay attention and wake up before it’s too late…
Over the last two days I went on Fox News and Newsmax to warn Americans about what's happening in France. Today, the images speak for themselves. October 17, 2026. In Marseille, France's second-largest city, a mob smashed through the doors of City Hall and stormed the lobby chanting "It's the revolution, we're taking the Bastille." Shortly before, rioters had trashed a municipal police station, breaking windows and throwing smoke bombs inside. Shops on the main avenue were vandalized and barricades were set on fire. In Paris, masked black bloc crews fired mortar fireworks at police at Place de la République while tear gas filled the square. There were 166 arrests nationwide by midday and more than 600 protests across the country, after weeks of blockaded high schools. The Yellow Vests are back. Now here's what every American needs to understand. What are these people demanding? More: higher wages, higher pensions, more public spending, more state. That's in a country where the government already spends more than half of everything the economy produces. This isn't an accident. It's where 45 years of socialism lead. Since 1981, left or right, every French government has grown the state. Macron is just the final, most polished version of the same system. Socialism doesn't create prosperity. It creates dependency. When people rely on the state for everything, every disappointment turns into anger at the state. And the state cannot allocate capital. It doesn't risk its own money, and it never goes bankrupt when it's wrong. It just borrows more and taxes more. Productivity stalls, wages stagnate and prices rise. Then people take to the streets demanding even more state. The loop feeds itself until it breaks. America, watch closely. If the Democrats fully embrace socialism, this is the trailer for what comes next. History is accelerating. It took France decades to get here. It won't take you nearly as long. Vote for less government, never more.
