On the recreational front, I'm boring. No drugs, no booze. Can't do the Macarena. As for politics, it's the opposite. The two main

parties are boring, predictable, locked into ideological positions. Not for me. I'm a proud independent. The problem with attaching yourself to a political party these days is the zealot factor. Fanatics usually run things. Look at Pete Hegg says defense department. It is in a process of exterminating all remnants of diversity, equity, and inclusion, the grossly unfair system imposed by the loopy left Biden administration. But it's even worse for a Democrat fanatics. They believe the open border policy is swell. No problem. Humane. How about wasteful government spending? Democrats generally opposed tracking it down. The party wants few spending restraints. Thirty-six trillion in debt? Who cares? Party on, Garth. Then there's a trans

situation with men bouncing volleyball off the heads of women. Problem? Now, how? Nah, not with the Democrats. And where's John Lennon when we need them? Give peace a chance in Ukraine? Nope. Dems are excoriating Trump for not calling Putin a totalitarian dog. That is the party line. Read it and weep.

Zach Steinhorn, New York City, any truth to declaim the Trump administration cutting funding for pediatric cancer research? I hope not. Look, Zach, nobody can keep track all of this.

Nobody knows who's going to be furloughed, but the federal government is going to be downsized. I doubt that cancer research is going to be affected, but I don't know. I'm not an auditor. I don't have entree into who's going to get cut. But the federal government has to be downsized. And some good people are going to lose their jobs. Alan Waddingham, Talmadge, Ohio. I wonder how many voters thought that our Congress people actually knew where our tax dollars are going. How could they?

Congress just passes the raw number of spending. They can't, just like me, they don't have audits going on. know. It's not their fault. It is their fault if they resist finding out like the Democrats don't want to know. That's their fault. Adrian Wagner, San Antonio, Texas, how much southern border all has been built and how much is left. Trump administration says it's going to be finished by 2007, I believe. Okay, that's what you say is going to be finished. But I don't have a tape measure, you know, and Homeland Security has not issued a recent report. Perry Capitani, Garden City, New York, can you explain the difference between the roles of

Director of National Security, Gabbard, and National Security Advisor, Waltz? Yes. So the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, she is basically overseeing CIA, NSA, all of that. Okay, Waltz works with Trump, one-on-one. What they do? In a moment, something you might not know. Oh, tasty high note. Oh, hi, don't mind me, I'm practicing my new baritone sacks.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 80 years ago today, an American aircraft carrier, the USS Randolph was severely damaged by the

empire of Japan. Rather than deploying bombs or bullets, suicidal parts, pilots used planes to crash into the carrier. Here is the story of the kamikaze. Unlike Western tradition, suicide in Japanese culture is often celebrated. Medieval warlords, known as samurai, often ended their own lives through disembowelment. As Tokyo faced defeat in World War II, generals deployed a new division and formerly known as the kamikaze, Japanese for divine wind. Fighter planes loaded with explosives took off and then were flown directly into American ships. On March 11, 1945, the USS Randolph was sailing in the Western Pacific when 30 Japanese aircraft appeared on the horizon. cruising at a low altitude of 2,000 feet, the plane suddenly climbed to 10,000, then pilots dove

them towards the ship. 13 made impact, killing 26 Americans. The rest either missed the carrier or blew up in the sky. Disabled, the Randolph was towed to a nearby base for repairs. However, the suicide attacks were only beginning. For the next month, more than 4,000 desperate kamikazis crashed into U.S. forces. 300 ships damaged, 50 sunk, 5,000 Americans dead. While most of the Japanese pilots accepted their fate, a few refused to carry out the mission.

Some claim mechanical failures, others blame bad weather. Outright objectors were shunned from society, some charged with treason. And here's something else you might not know. Today, at least 200 kamikaze pilots are still alive in Japan. All were awaiting their suicide missions when the Japanese surrendered in August 1945. Though Japan has never officially apologized for their behavior during World War II, the government did issue a statement in 1995, admitting the military had deployed regrettable conduct in combat. back after this
