To the Arabic-speaking people who came to criticize my post yesterday: “Did you forget Nagasaki and Hiroshima?” “You’re just America’s slave.” “Japan is a country of gropers.” More than 90% of the comments were basically the same. At some point, I honestly wondered: are you all bots? Japanese people have not forgotten. Not Hiroshima. Not Nagasaki. It is true that the postwar occupation of Japan is complicated. It is also true that Japan has a problem with sexual harassment and groping. I am not trying to deny any of that. But let me say this clearly one more time. Japanese people have not forgotten Hiroshima. We have not forgotten Nagasaki. The lives lost that day, the pain burned into our history, and the scars left behind are still part of Japan’s memory. But we do not choose to hate the Americans standing in front of us today because of what happened 80 years ago. We do not force children, students, travelers, or friends to carry the anger of the past. That is not strength. That is just taking old grief, turning it into hatred, and letting it rot inside your heart. Yes, the history of the occupation is complicated. Yes, there are still things worth discussing. And yes, Japan has issues with groping. I will not pretend otherwise. But if you want to talk about women’s dignity, then start by respecting women as human beings. Do not tell Japan that society becomes moral by restricting women’s freedom. Do not tell Japan that problems disappear by hiding women’s bodies. That way of thinking is not something we want forced on us. Japan was wounded. Deeply. But Japan stood up again. We rebuilt our cities. We carried our losses. And we moved forward. And part of that history includes our relationship with America. Remembering the past and living as a prisoner of hatred are not the same thing. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not words for you to use as weapons against Japanese people. They are Japan’s memory. They are Japan’s pain. And they are a warning to the world that the same tragedy must never happen again. Do not use our dead as fuel for your anger.

There was never a $12 billion hole in the budget. That fairy tale was cooked up to justify reckless spending and political theater. I left the incoming administration with $8 billion in reserves, not a financial apocalypse. Albany election-year bailouts are not a long-term economic strategy. The free money dries up after Election Day, but the bloated “free” programs stay forever. And here’s the part the socialists in City Hall never want to admit: the millionaires and billionaires they love demonizing already pay roughly 40% of NYC’s taxes. Keep demonizing the people creating jobs, investing in this city, and carrying the tax base, and eventually they’ll stop investing here altogether. Facts are stubborn things. Even when some politicians aren’t.

Raise your hand if you agree 🙋‍♀️

Firing all my @TheBabylonBee writers for not coming up with this headline before the media did

My name is Jasmine Clark. I’m a lifelong Georgian, mom, PhD microbiologist, college professor, and state representative who flipped a Republican seat. I’ve been a voice of accountability in Georgia, and now I’m running to bring a science voice to Congress.

April Fools?!?

To my American friends, I want to speak from the heart, because this moment truly moved me as a Japanese citizen. When President Trump made that Pearl Harbor joke, it wasn’t just humor to us. It felt like a weight I’d carried my whole life was suddenly lifted. My chest tightened, and honestly, tears came close. For 80 long years, we Japanese have lived under a heavy shadow — the constant expectation to apologize, to reflect, to stay in “guilt mode.” Even though we’re the closest of allies, that old wound never fully healed. We felt bound by the past, by the Constitution America helped write for us, always a little smaller, always needing to prove we were sorry enough. But in that single joke, Trump did something powerful. He turned a painful history into a shared laugh between equals. It was like he was saying: “Hey, it was a long time ago. We’re good. Let’s move forward — as brothers.” No more endless atonement. No more living in the shadow of being the “former enemy.” The curse broke. Japan feels free to stand tall again. Right now, cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully all across Japan. 🌸 This spring, the sakura feels like a perfect symbol — a fresh beginning. Not two nations stuck in old roles, but true equals, proud brothers, shoulder to shoulder, ready to build the future together. To the American people: We don’t want to be subordinates forever. We want to be your real partners — strong, proud, and loyal. The kind of allies who ride or die together. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, America. The strongest alliance in the world is rising again — as equals, as brothers, forever. #PhoenixRising 🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸🌸

Sums up the Biden admin very succinctly

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

Uh oh

this needs to be a law everywhere

Chip Roy just said maybe it’s time to dump all 435 in the House, all 100 in the Senate, and start from scratch — because Congress is failing Americans.

Think it'll work?

Send this to every Democrat you know: Don’t let Trump cheat! Pass the SAVE ACT!
