Japan’s former prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has reportedly collapsed while making a speech, with initial reports saying gunshots had been heard shortly before he fell to the ground. NHK, Japan’s public broadcaster, said Abe – the country’s longest-serving prime minister until he resigned in 2020 – appeared to be bleeding from the chest. NHK said a man had been taken into custody but provided no further details. Abe, 67, had been in the city of Nara to make a campaign speech ahead of this Sunday’s upper house elections.

He had health problems recently, and this certainly won't help. From the photographs posted on Japanese on-line news sources, it appears he has a wound to his upper left chest region. They were putting his gurney into the helicopter without a cover over his body. Hoping that he makes it.

Another leader of a country that refused to mandate the Covid vaccine. This is becoming an alarming trend.

All guns are entirely prohibited in Japan. Gun control never keeps the bad guys from getting guns, only prevents honest people from getting them.

Apparently a home made gun. If all you need is one shot, guns are extremely simple. I made a simple toy cannon when I was in the fifth grade. It worked fine. An innovative adult could do far better, I'm sure. Gang kids in NYC in the '50s made zip guns out of car radio antenna pieces, a scrap of wood, some electrical tape and a big rubber band. They worked for a single shot, were a bit slow to reload, too, and not accurate beyond perhaps 4-5 ft. Guns cannot be actually eliminated from society.

shot from behind, with a visible wound on the front...chest. Not good. The Home made gun was a double barreled overgrown pistol, with fat barrels, bigger than a 12ga, looks like he made the powder as well, Yuuuuge puffs of smoke, very low /slow Boom..shot him from 20-30feet away as well. Looks like maybe he missed with the 1st shot...connected with the second.

This is a shame, Abe was one of the good men. Will we find ec-crazies or globalists behind this?

Who says America can’t find its way to a national consensus? Republicans have considered Joe Biden intellectually bankrupt for decades. According to the latest complaints making their way to Politico, Democrat governors have just figured that out — and now worry that the clock’s about to run out on Biden and their midterm hopes: They’ve prodded officials for more details of how the administration was going to communicate its wins and improve its messaging around the economy. They have also wanted to see a clear demonstration of new actions from the White House. Don’t just tell us what you’ve done, is how a person familiar

On Wednesday evening, leftist protestors harrassed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at a Morton’s Steakhouse in Washington, D.C., forcing him to leave the restaurant, according to a report from Politico. “Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Morton’s restaurant,” the representative of the chain restaurant said in a statement. “Politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner.

Joe Biden and his team are so fond of telling lies, that it seems like it’s hard for them to distinguish between falsehood and reality. But even for them and their level of lying, the audacity of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was something else on Thursday, when she was trying to sell how good the economy is. Fox’s Peter Doocy asked about inflation and a poll that said 88 percent of Americans thought that the country was on the wrong track. As we reported, Jean-Pierre tried to gaslight people, blaming “Putin’s tax hike.” They still haven’t absorbed that always blaming Putin for having more control over the economy than Joe Biden

Joe Biden wants and needs to satisfy his rabid, ravenous base of pro-abortion fanatics by expanding access to the procedure and allowing more women to kill their unborn babies. Unfortunately for him, there’s a little thing called the Constitution of the United States that’s standing in his way. Try explaining that to the faces contorted with rage marching in the streets demanding Biden do something about abortion. The entire radical left of the Democratic Party has become unhinged. They have suggested all kinds of ludicrous alternatives, like building abortion clinics on federal lands or allowing a “carveout”

Much of the world awoke Friday to news that former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had been assassinated by a deranged suspect with a homemade shotgun. Instead of eulogizing Abe and expressing condolences to the Japanese people, CBS Mornings decided it would join the Associated Press and National Public Radio (NPR) in smearing Abe as “a polarizing figure,” “right-wing nationalist, and conservative” whose “political opinions were controversial.” Foreign correspondent Elizabeth Palmer’s piece began as one would expect, stating from Tokyo that “[i]t would be hard to overstate just how much of a shock this is in normally nonviolent Japan.

Chilling photos have emerged of the moment Shinzo Abe’s suspected killer casually stands behind him just before he assassinates the former Japanese Prime Minister. The images show Abe — who was Japan’s longest-serving leader — starting a campaign-rally speech in the western region of Nara, smiling as those around him clap. Standing just feet behind the leader, 67, was an innocent-looking masked man wearing military-style pants and with a bag slung around his back. Within minutes of the divisive politician starting his speech, that same man — identified as disgruntled 41-year-old veteran Tetsuya Yamagami — snuck closer to Abe and shot him dead in an attack

Japan has some of the most “restrictive” gun controls in the world – legal provisions that appeared not to prevent the assassination of former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo at the hands of an apparent lone gunman on Friday. Abe, 67, was shot around 11:30 a.m. Friday while giving a speech in support of conservative legislative candidates in Nara, Japan. The incident was largely caught on video; authorities indicated that he died of cardiovascular failure after being shot with an apparent firearm in the neck, as Breitbart News reported. The Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun noted a high school student, witness to the shooting, said a man approached Abe from behind while holding what appeared to be a “bazooka.”

The president was late to react to the news of Abe’s assassination, issuing a statement just before 9:00 a.m. EST. “I am stunned, outraged, and deeply saddened by the news that my friend Abe Shinzo, former Prime Minister of Japan, was shot and killed while campaigning,”

How did explosive testimony about Donald Trump’s purported assault in a presidential limo end up on national television at all? The credibility of Cassidy Hutchinson, the House’s January 6 committee, and the Secret Service have become entangled in the answer. Shortly after Hutchinson testified to hearsay that she claimed to have heard from Secret Service agent Tony Ornato that Trump tried to seize the steering wheel to force agents to take him to Capitol Hill, the Secret Service insisted that no such incident had ever taken place. Despite an avalanche of criticism over their public intervention in the testimony, The Hill reports that the Secret Service

He was 82. “It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Jimmy on the evening of July 6,” the statement read. It did not note a cause of death.

Bell wore the shirt of Friday’s episode of CNN’s At This Hour, which he appeared on to promote the new season of his CNN show, United Shades of America. The segment was scheduled just ahead of Biden’s remarks, so there was a chance it would get cut off to show the speech.

RICHMOND, Va. — More than 300 employees from five state agencies have resigned since Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced Virginia’s new telework policy in early May, according to records obtained by 8News. This includes 183 Virginia Department of Transportation employees, 28 of whom cited “telework options” as the reason for leaving. Two VDOT workers who listed telework as the reason did move to another state agency, records obtained by 8News after filing a Freedom of Information Act request show. On May 5, Youngkin updated the state’s telework policy for all state employees to begin working in-person full-time by July 5, a

Hunter Biden blamed First Lady Jill Biden for forcing him to go back to rehab – calling her a 'selfish silly entitled c***', 'a moron', 'stupid', and 'vain' – after she offered him a house and sent him loving messages. The biting insults were made behind his stepmother's back in text messages on a newly uncovered backup of Hunter's cell phone stored on his abandoned laptop. The vicious verbal attack, appears to be over Hunter's family asking him to go back to rehab in winter of 2018.

A left-wing activist group is encouraging users on social media to tweet the location of any of the conservative Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts in exchange for money. The six conservative justices were the majority who voted to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision last month. June. Since then, pro-abortion activists have repeatedly protested outside the justices' homes and, in some cases, confronted them in public. ShutDownDC is promising a bounty of $50 for anyone who shares a 'confirmed sighting' and a further $200 if they are still in that location half an hour later.

President Joe Biden’s administration sold 950,000 barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese state-owned gas company that has financial ties to a private equity firm cofounded by Hunter Biden, according to a Washington Free Beacon report. In April, Biden’s Department of Energy announced the nearly one million barrel sale to Unipec, which is the trading arm of Sinopec. Sinopec is wholly owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party. Unipec reportedly purchases oil across the globe and then apparently sells it through its Sinopec Marketing subsidiary.

Although this is the biggest breach in Supreme Court security in history, we have had no indication that the culprit has been identified.
