Nothing Says Christmas in America Like Gun Violence
American gun violence is an embarrassment, while self-righteous Americans consider African countries violent
The United States of America has one of the worst gun violence problems in the world, which is an understatement. Americans seem to think that violence in African countries or 'under-developed' countries is the worst. People will warn you of violence if you tell them you're going to South America or any African country.
Some unknown number of Americans usually gift fire arms to their children which is common place. They use phrases like "guns don't kill people, people kill people!" Or they claim to be a family of hunters, while American schools shootings have become common place.
Why should Christmas Day be any different? The morning of 25 December 2022 started with death and violence due to Americans gun culture and violence.

GRAND RONDE Ore. (KPTV) - A suspect is on police’s “Naughty List” after a shooting and a chase that triggered a shelter-in-place in rural Grand Ronde on Christmas morning.
A spokesperson for the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office said the shooting happened in Polk County. The suspect then ran on foot and was reportedly chased by deputies before they were taken into custody in Willamina by Yamhill County deputies.
Yamhill County issued a shelter in place for people living in the area during the chase. Deputies received help from the Hillsboro Police Department with a tracking K9 and the shelter in place alert was lifted after the suspect was in custody.
There are several watch groups online and throughout social media based in the United States of America, that report on gun violence. There are hundreds, even thousands of stories of gun violence and murder in America but no solutions.
The American government refuses to tackle the issues surrounding gun crimes. More than gun control needs to take place for the American gun culture to be squashed. However no one at the government level seems to want to do anything about gun violence.
When children were the victims many thought that the American government surely would put an end to gun violence. Yet there has been hundreds of schools shootings in America and they don't seem to be slowing or stopping any time soon.

Daniel Herzog: "Act of War But We Want Peace". Really?
The President of Israel Daniel Herzog is President in name only. Unlike say someone like President Biden, Herzog's role is a ceremonial role like the British Monarch. Herzog has views on certain things and no doubt, he discusses them with Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Many countries have political or royal heads of state who wield no power. The real power lies in the hands of the Prime Minister, in this case, Bibi Netanyahu.

Was I a Model in Japan?
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?
