  1. *Former U.S. Ambassador to Japan William Hagerty is set to attend the funeral slated for Sept. 27 in Tokyo as President Joe Biden’s administration wants to offer condolences through a bipartisan representative, they said.*

    There’s no such thing as friendship in politics. Abe’s legacy stinks so bad, no one wants to show up. Forget the Moonies scandal. He presided over the continual cratering of Japanese salaries and career prospects while doling out $Billions of public money to his corporate overlords. Too bad the media blindly attribute this to the depopulation excuse. If people are in such short supply, why haven’t the salaries gone up?

  2. What a waste of funds.
    The noble thing would to direct those funds to those Stricken by this typhoon.

  3. Personally I’d be a bit skittish considering how terrible security apparently is here but that might just be me…
