I am so frustrated that I can do so little.

Now they are saying the cooling towers on the nuclear plant are not working and the plant officials are scrambling (and evacuating) to get the plant to safety.

The earthquake line is 86 MILES — it has had over 100 aftershocks and many of those aftershocks are > 6.0.

Japan confirms > 1,000 dead but we are also hearing it may be as many as 80,000!

People are huddling together to keep warm where the power is out and people have been forced to the roofs of their buildings — I think it is quite cold.

Prayers are all I have for the moment. We all need to keep them going.

I am aghast — aghast.

For the time being I am totally hesitant to accept that high of a figure. Japan trains for events like this, unlike most countries Japan takes it very seriously about tsunamis and earthquakes.

This will be or could be Americas shining moment to pull out the stops and to assist our ally, BUT..

If that idiot who thinks he is in charge waffles on this one inch it will most assuredly mean the immediate end of him.

I bet he does just that, holds back aid, a real POTUS says “Dam the torpedos”!

Japan needs help. They need helos, hovercraft, portable water, shelters and first aid.
