I think I already know what Obama’s next “real” efforts will go toward... Pressuring the membership of Augusta to include him, or there will be a new target for protests.

Next thing you know, the Left will start boycotting Japan, and force Nordstrom’s to stop selling Bonsai trees and those little kimono dressed dolls!

Funny...for a long time, I thought Kraft’s son was his brother. He always looked too old to me to be his son.

Showing support for the owner of the Patriots is more important, to me, than my boycotting of the nfl till roger badwell is fired.

Nice act of diplomacy. This is good for both America and Japan.

From all the (fake) news reports yesterday, I thought Melania was snubbing Mrs. Abe.

Lots of great photos and videos at that site. Getty and AP, so can’t post them here.

Melania shines.  Gee, can't wait for her next trip to Palm Beach.  Mrs. Abe is a handsome woman as well.

These acts of kindness are fondly remembered.  The Japanese people deeply esteem their reputation in the world, and Trump is treating them with elegance.

Meanwhile, back in Japan the media there is stopping regular programming to televise the events.

Trump and Melania really know how to turn on the charm -- ultimately for our country's benefit.  Diplomacy, deplorables style :- )

Thanks for posting. Ben Garrison helped Trump get elected. You can bet on it.

I'll say this about the UK Daily Mail, they have fantastic coverage of President Trump with many photos and videos at the link.

You just don't get that same kind of professional news reporting in the United States anymore.

Singlehandedly? The Dutch, Australian, and New Zealanders (among others) are feeling left out.

No offense, but the ABDACOM defense forces predominantly comprised by those countries were initially whomped by the Japanese. Hundreds of Allied planes and much war materiel lost, thousands of troop casualties, fall of NEI, many US & British possessions overrun. NZ forces were largely committed elsewhere (Europe, N. Africa\ME)

It wasn’t until the US asserted itself that the tide turned-
The key battles of Coral Sea was US & Australia and Midway-US only

Big assists by coast-watchers, SIGINT, and Soloman Islands campaign. My Dad rescued many coast-watchers on PNG.

Good read—and short:
