Sept. 28, 2023 - Texas GOP Passes Unanimous Resolution Calling For Special Legislative Session On Colony Ridge

The Texas Republican Party Chairman says massive illegal immigrant development just northeast of Houston highlighted by The Daily Wire should be a 'grave concern for all Texans'.

The Daily Wire’s investigation of the development noted that “the developer allows for illegal aliens to obtain loans to purchase land using Individual Tax ID Numbers (ITINs) instead of Social Security Numbers” and that Colony Ridge “has grown to an estimated 50,000 to 75,000 inhabitants and spans over 60 square miles.”

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said “We can’t have entire cities of people who are here illegally with basically no law enforcement, in some cases I’m told no running water, it’s a very dangerous place to be. This is not what America was built on. This massive complex of people here illegally creating their own city just north of Houston, it's just unacceptable.”

Sept. 28, 2023 - San Jacinto County in Texas approves Declaration of Local Disaster

In June 2023 the San Jacinto County Commissioners Court approved a Declaration of Local Disaster due to increased drug smuggling & a spike in the local crime rate. Murders (one by a Mexican national, another by a Pakistani air force officer), prostitution, sex trafficking, marijuana grow houses run by Cuban nationals (in one raid over 400 lbs. & 180 trees were seized, some of them nearly 9 ft. tall, with an estimated market value of over $700,000), meth labs, gambling, a cock fighting ring run by Vietnamese nationals, dog fighting, etc.

Organized crime syndicates aiding and abetting these illegal activities and who've carved out their own territories in the county include the Jalisco New Generation cartel, Gulf cartel, Los Zetas cartel, & Sinaloa cartel.

San Jacinto County is located just north of Houston, Texas and over 200 miles from the southern U.S.-Mexico border. This rural county and the surrounding areas, including Liberty County, have seen an explosion of migrant settlement and increasing criminal cartel activity.

In this 24-min. interview, San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers joins Todd Bensman, a Senior National Security Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies to discuss how lax federal border security is straining the ability to police his jurisdiction. Sheriff Capers explains how, with a small county budget and reactive policing, there is a need for increased cooperation and funding from both the state and federal authorities.

Lyrics:

I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin' in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
'Cause your dollar ain't shit and it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat
And the obese milkin' welfare

Well, God, if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground
'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down

Lord, it's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin' in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
'Cause your dollar ain't shit and it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay




Aug. 7, 2023 - Summer 2023 Tokyo Fireworks Shows (花火大会)

It's that exciting time of year again! Because of the pandemic, for the 1st time in 4 years an uncountable number of fireworks shows are now being held around the Tokyo metroplex this summer. I counted 7 that occurred on Sat. Aug. 5 alone.

If you have a spare couple minutes, you might enjoy the grand finale of the fireworks show I saw recently that I've jazzed up a bit with the Indy Jones theme song... laughing icon

July 22, 2023 - The "Sound of Freedom" movie

This movie is the incredible true story of a former government agent turned vigilante who embarks on a dangerous mission to rescue hundreds of children from sex traffickers.

It exposes one of the greatest evils on this earth -- human trafficking, the fastest growing international crime network that the world has ever seen. This cruel industry has already passed the illegal arms trade and soon will pass the illegal drug trade. You can sell a bag of cocaine only one time, but a helpless, enslaved child can be sex trafficked 5-10 times a day.

The lead role is played by Hollywood actor Jim Caviezel, who starred as Jesus in the 2004 movie "The Passion of the Christ."

The Sound of Freedom film was released on July 4, 2023 by Angel Studios, and has so far grossed over $104 million worldwide on only a $14.5 million budget. This compares to a budget of ~$295 million for the new Indy Jones movie and ~$290 million for the new Mission Impossible movie, both of which were also released within the past few weeks.

June 12, 2023 - Fresh Spring Greenery (新緑) in Tokyo

I'm still busy snapping away at Tokyo's non-stop display of stunning spring flowers & my ever-growing Flickr album is now up to 214 pics.

And I am so blown away every year by the beautiful fresh spring greenery (shinryoku, 新緑) that I decided to go ahead and start a new album: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAGDB4
(as if the 155 albums already on my Flickr page were not enough!) laughing icon

Related to enjoying fresh spring greenery is the ancient Japanese healing art known as forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku (森林浴 - shinrin meaning “forest,” and yoku meaning “bath” in Japanese). By immersing ourselves in the forest atmosphere and enjoying nature through our senses, there are many health benefits.

Especially in spring when all the fresh greenery appears, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are being emitted by the surrounding trees and plants, and we can connect with nature by slowly and mindfully walking in a forest environment to stimulate all 6 senses.

By smelling, touching, listening, looking, and tasting, this total sensory experience will in turn release our sense of joy and calm, stimulating the 6th sense, our state of mind.

And in doing so, we can truly connect with nature & hopefully reap many powerful side benefits including fighting cancer, uplifting our mood, calming the nervous system, treating illnesses, and strengthening the immune system.

May 9, 2023 - Rei Banno, 11-year-old Japanese Girl, Prepares to Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro

Rei Banno, an 11-year-old Japanese girl, is gearing up to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak.

For the young climber living in Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture, central Japan, climbing the 5,895-meter mountain in Tanzania is what she has "always dreamed of." Rei and her mother hope to travel to Africa as early as this summer, if they manage to secure funds for the journey.

Rei became a mountain lover when she participated in a local mountain climbing event at the age of 4 and completed a 43-kilometer traverse course along the Yatsugatake mountain range that straddles Yamanashi and Nagano prefectures at the age of 7.

She spends weekends touring mountains across Japan together with her 48-year-old mother, Naomi, and friends. Rei is currently in the midst of her challenge to conquer the 300 famous mountains in Japan and has already conquered the 100 most famous mountains in Yamanashi at the age of 6.

Rei began voicing her desire to climb Kilimanjaro around the time when she was 7 years old and has high hopes for the journey, including communicating with guides and other climbers.

She also wants to eventually complete the 7 summits, the tallest peaks on each of the 7 continents.

April 29, 2023 - Happy Golden Week!

Yep, it's that magical time of year again. Today, Showa Day (昭和の日, Shōwa no Hi), is a national holiday in Japan and kicks off the week-long holiday period known as Golden Week, often abbreviated simply as GW.

Well, GW has another meaning in my life.... not only my initials but also my nickname, courtesy of my most beloved family and friends since my childhood days.

Needless to say, GW is one of my favorite times of the year in Japan because everywhere you look, my nickname is plastered on countless advertising signs all over the city. It's nice to be so famous, ha ha.

The sign below I spotted a few years ago at the local KFC. Yee hah! laughing icon

And how could we forget about the gorgeous koinobori (鯉幟, carp streamers)? To celebrate Children's Day (こどもの日, Kodomo no hi), May 5, one of the 4 national holidays during this week-long holiday period, "koinobori (鯉幟)," or carp streamers, are flown around the country in honor of Japanese children in the hope that they will grow up healthy, strong, & happy.

A typical koinobori set consists of, from the top of the pole down, a pair of arrow-spoked wheels (矢車, yaguruma) with a ball-shaped spinning vane, a mounting windsock (吹流し, fukinagashi), and finally the koinobori. For the windsock above the koinobori, one kind is the 5-colored windsock (五色吹流し), based on the 5 elements of Chinese philosophy.

Nowadays the koinobori typically consist of the biggest (black) koinobori for the father of the family, next biggest (red or pink) for the mother, and an additional, smaller carp of a different color for each child in decreasing order by age.

April 25, 2023 - Floating in the Falling Universe of Flowers (チームラボプラネッツ)

"A seasonal year of flowers bloom and change with time, life spreads out into the universe. Flowers grow, bud, bloom, and in time, the petals fall, and the flowers wither and die. The cycle of birth and death continues for perpetuity. The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back; it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the artwork in real time. As a whole, it is continuously changing, and previous visual states are never replicated. The universe at this moment in time can never be seen again."

"As a symbol of our gratitude, we'd like to present you this special gold watch to serve as a reminder of your many years with the company. It needs a lot of winding up, is always a little late, and every day at quarter to five, it stops working." laughing icon
