  1. He got most of Japaneses’ respect. We’re not Japaneses, but we like him as well. We hope it’s not true 😞

  2. yesterday.
    OPEC chief Barkindo, 63, dies hours after his energy speech, supporting Iran & Venezuela
    strange things are moving.
    Support USA interests or face the consequences.

  3. Considering Japan’s strict gun control laws, I’m more surprised that the assassin’s homemade pipe gun didn’t explode in his hand during those two shots!

  4. I’m sure Marcia is happy about this event behind closed doors
