Japan's ruling party has just elected Sanae Takaichi as their new leader, setting her up to become the country's first female Prime Minister. Here is what she believes and more about her:

As a hard-line conservative and a member of Japan's largest nationalist organization Nippon Kaigi, she champions nationalist policies.

She opposes illegal AND legal immigration, citing cultural & security risks, and pushes strict visa rules to curb overtourism. She believes that immigration to Japan risks destabilizing Japanese society and argues that Japan should stay Japan.

Takaichi opposes same-sex marriage, dual surnames after marriage, government gender equality plans, and female imperial succession, arguing they threaten traditional family structures. Takaichi supports imprisoning those who damage Japan's national flag.

Economically, she backs Abenomics, infrastructure like Hokuriku Shinkansen, and bureaucratic reform.

As a China hawk, she supports revising Article 9 (that prohibits Japan from entering armed conflict) for a stronger military, reducing economic reliance on Beijing, and strengthening ties with America.

As someone mentored by Shinzo Abe, she carries Shinzo Abe's legacy. Other than downplaying Japan's past wartime atrocities, she sounds like an incredible next PM for Japan. A huge step in the right direction for Japan!

My thoughts:
As a Korean, I do not like her downplaying what Japan did to Korea and others 100 years ago. Also Dokdo is Korea's. But the self-flagellation has to end. In the same way slavery is used to bludgeon Americans and the Holocaust is used to bludgeon Europeans, Imperial Japan's past crimes are used constantly by liberals to bludgeon Japan to not allow them to be proud of Japanese heritage, culture, and history. It's the same self-flagellating brainrot that also tells Koreans we are not allowed to be proud of our history and culture because of past mistakes.

These humiliation rituals of having people constantly apologize for sins of the past they did not commit essentially only serve to emotionally blackmail sovereign nations into accepting globalist garbage and mass migration. We can learn from the mistakes of the past but we must move forward into the future.

I see nothing wrong with a strong, sovereign Japan. Japan should stay Japan. Japan for the Japanese!

The Trump Effect...

"Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally."

Donald "Very Stable Genius" Trump:

"Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!"

The tariffs that supposedly none of us are paying (bullsh!t) are going to be the new welfare system for soybean farmers. Adding to the deficit..creating new welfare programs. MAGA gonna MAGA.

Here is the 5 year price chart for soybeans. Biden sent out farm payments last December. This didn't just magically start when Trump got in office.

Meanwhile, back in reality, here's the position of the American Soybean Association:

ASA Responds to Argentina Soybean Actions​

Sep 24, 2025

This week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the U.S. government was in negotiations to extend a $20 billion swap line to the Argentine government and potentially purchase the country’s foreign bonds. Almost immediately after, a reported 20 shiploads of Argentine soybeans were purchased by China after the Argentine government announced it would waive taxes on its soybean exports.
Upon this news, ASA President Caleb Ragland issued the following statement:

“U.S. soybean farmers have been clear for months: the administration needs to secure a trade deal with China. China is the world’s largest soybean customer and typically our top export market. The U.S. has made zero sales to China in this new crop marketing year due to 20% retaliatory tariffs imposed by China in response to U.S. tariffs. This has allowed other exporters, Brazil and now Argentina, to capture our market at the direct expense of U.S. farmers. The frustration is overwhelming. U.S. soybean prices are falling, harvest is underway, and farmers read headlines not about securing a trade agreement with China, but that the U.S. government is extending $20 billion in economic support to Argentina while that country drops its soybean export taxes to sell 20 shiploads of Argentine soybeans to China in just two days.

U.S. farmers cannot wait and hope any longer. ASA is calling on President Trump and his negotiating team to prioritize securing an immediate deal on soybeans with China. The farm economy is suffering while our competitors supplant the United States in the biggest soybean import market in the world.”

Boone reposted a FoxNews video showing how Biden drastically raised the cost of farming. Nice you attack the messenger rather than deal with the message.

Soybeans are today the same price as a year ago under Biden. Where was the wailing and gnashing of teeth a year ago over prices?
