At least one person is dead after a U.S. military Osprey aircraft crashed near the coast of Japan Wednesday‚ the Japan Coast Guard said.  Six people were aboard the aircraft when it went down around 2:47 p.m. local time. Shortly after the crash‚ the 10th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters said it dispatched a patrol boat and aircraft to the crash scene‚ CNN reported. The aircraft crashed into the ocean near the island of Yakushima‚ which is about 45 miles south of the southern main Japanese island of Kyushu‚ a coast guard spokesperson told NBC News.  The Japanese Coast Guard said one man was recovered “unconscious and was not breathing” near the site of the crash. He was given CPR and taken to Anbo Port‚ which was nearly two miles away‚ but the Osprey crew member was later pronounced dead. No details were given on the status of the other five crew members.  Japan’s Vice Defense Minister Hiroyuki Miyazawa said the incident involved a U.S. Air Force  CV-22 Osprey and called the incident an “emergency water landing.”  “The U.S. side explained to us that the pilot did his best until the very end‚ so we’re using the term ‘emergency water landing‚’” Miyazawa said.  The CV-22 Osprey can take off vertically like a helicopter while boasting the long-range flight capability of a turboprop aircraft. Its two rotors remain vertical during takeoff and landing and can rotate 90 degrees once the aircraft is in flight‚ allowing it to fly like a rotor-powered plane.  Wednesday’s crash marks the third tragedy in the last two years involving U.S. military personnel flying an Osprey aircraft. In August‚ three Marines were killed and several more were seriously injured when their MV-22B Osprey‚ which is similar to the CV-22‚ crashed on a northern Australian island while carrying 23 troops.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP In June of 2022‚ all five Marines aboard an MV-22B Osprey died after it crashed in California‚ a few miles north of the U.S./Mexico border. A few months before that crash‚ four Marines were killed in Norway during a NATO training exercise after their MV-22B Osprey went down in the Arctic Circle. 

The president-elect of Argentina‚ Javier Milei‚ reportedly intends to convert to Judaism. “The president-elect intends to convert to Judaism‚ as per one of his spokespersons‚” Bloomberg News reported. Milei has already stated he intends to move Argentina’s embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. When he arrived in the United States on Monday morning‚ before he even met with U.S. officials or the International Monetary Fund‚ Milei went straight to the grave of the late Chabad-Lubavitch leader Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson to pay his respects. Prior to leaving Argentina‚ on Saturday night‚ Milei joined Rabbi David Pinto Shlita — who gave him and his mother a blessing — in Buenos Aires for the Havdalah ceremony marking the end of the Jewish Sabbath. “I celebrate this beautiful country‚ Argentina‚ and I ask God to protect the Argentine Nation so that it returns to what it was before. I am sure that with God’s help you will help the Nation and‚ with the people of Argentina‚ you will achieve it‚” Pinto Shilta told Milei‚ who responded‚ “Thank you‚ thank you‚ Rabbi.” The rabbi told Milei’s sister‚ “We pray to God to protect him in everything he needs.” Argentina has the largest Jewish population in South America‚ roughly 220‚000 people. In 1992‚ the Israeli embassy in Argentina was bombed‚ killing 29 people and wounding more than 200 others. In 1999‚ the Supreme Court of Argentina stated that the terrorist organization Hezbollah was responsible for the bombing. In 1994‚ a terrorist car bomber targeted the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires; 85 people were murdered and hundreds were injured. It was the deadliest terror attack in Argentinian history. In October 2006‚ Argentine prosecutors Alberto Nisman and Marcelo Mart ́ formally accused the Government of Iran of directing Hezbollah to carry out the AMIA bombing. Milei visited Schneerson’s grave in July‚ where he visited the tomb of the Lubavitch rabbi and requested a blessing before the election that took place earlier this week. Schneerson‚ the leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement‚ was a tireless pioneer for Jewish outreach; there are currently over 1‚400 Chabad-Lubavitch institutions in 35 countries on six continents. “The truth is that I did not get to know the Rebbe personally‚ but just in the last year I had the privilege of visiting the Rebbe’s grave twice‚” Milei‚ who amazed the world by winning the presidential election in a landslide‚ stated. “There I asked for his holy blessing to be elected president of Argentina and this blessing became a reality this week.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Milei‚ who has pledged that Argentina’s two key allies will be the United States and Israel‚ gave his first foreign press interview to the Hasidic newspaper‚ “Kfar Chabad.” He said‚ “From what I’ve learned about the history of the Jewish people‚ their survival against all odds‚ and the divine protection they’ve received‚ I’m certain they will continue to prevail. My message is to keep faith in God‚ stay strong and united. Eventually‚ the world will realize the enduring truth — the nation of Israel lives on!” Related: Argentina’s President-Elect To Visit Grave Of World-Famous Rabbi Where He Had Asked For Electoral Victory

In a recent awards ceremony‚ veteran actor Robert De Niro took to the stage‚ not just to accept accolades for his work but to launch into a politically charged diatribe. His target? None other than former President Donald Trump and the iconic actor John Wayne. The speech‚ which was meant to be a moment of honor for his contributions to cinema‚ quickly devolved into a contentious rant that left many questioning the appropriateness of his outburst. De Niro‚ who has been known for his critical stance against conservative figures‚ attempted to weave political commentary into his speech. He accused the former president of lying egregiously throughout his term in office‚ even going so far as to claim that the ex-president had lied over 30‚000 times. The actor’s disdain didn’t stop there; he also took an unexpected jab at John Wayne‚ criticizing the late actor’s views on Native Americans. Don't forget a pedocrat. pic.twitter.com/P3JdAZKUPX — •Ɛɱɱყ• (@brixwe) November 20‚ 2023 The audience‚ expecting a celebration of film and artistic achievement‚ found themselves amidst a political battlefield as De Niro continued his onslaught. He lamented what he perceives as a distortion of history and truth‚ citing examples from education to the entertainment industry‚ where he believes a “festering disease” of misinformation is spreading. Midway through his speech‚ De Niro stumbled‚ leading to a moment of confusion. He claimed that the beginning of his speech had been edited without his knowledge‚ which disrupted his flow. In an attempt to regain control‚ he read the omitted parts from his phone‚ only to end his speech with a note of defiance against the event organizers and Apple‚ whom he blamed for the editing mishap. At last night’s Gotham Awards in New York‚ Robert De Niro realised that the opening part of the speech he was to give had been cut by Apple &; the Gotham Awards people – so he went to his phone for the original unedited speech and started again. pic.twitter.com/7aaCocpkEc — Michael Warburton (@MichaelWarbur17) November 28‚ 2023 This incident has sparked a broader conversation about the role of celebrities in political discourse. While it’s not uncommon for actors to express their political opinions‚ the manner and setting in which De Niro chose to do so have raised eyebrows. Critics argue that award ceremonies should not be platforms for political grandstanding but rather celebrations of artistic merit. Moreover‚ the actor’s approach to addressing his grievances—publicly shaming individuals and organizations during what should have been a unifying event—has been seen as emblematic of a deeper issue within Hollywood. It reflects a culture that often seems disconnected from the general public‚ one where political echo chambers overshadow diverse thought and civil discourse. De Niro’s speech also underscores the polarized nature of American politics today. Instead of fostering dialogue or understanding‚ such rants tend to deepen divisions‚ alienating those who may hold differing views. It begs the question: Is there a place for political rancor in what are ostensibly apolitical events? As the dust settles on this latest controversy‚ it’s clear that the intersection of politics and entertainment remains a contentious one. While freedom of speech is a cherished right‚ the appropriateness of using celebratory occasions as soapboxes for political rhetoric is debatable. In the aftermath‚ some have defended De Niro’s right to speak his mind‚ while others have condemned his actions as disrespectful and out of touch. Regardless of where one stands‚ this episode serves as a stark reminder of the deep political rifts that exist and the challenges of bridging them in today’s climate. Ultimately‚ the incident with De Niro at the awards ceremony is not just about a speech gone awry; it’s a microcosm of the larger cultural and political divide. As Hollywood continues to grapple with its role in shaping public discourse‚ it’s imperative that it considers the impact of its voice and the potential to either heal or further divide an already fractured society.
