I'm Japanese. Watching your midterm results roll in on Tuesday night broke my heart.

Republicans lost ground. A wave of Muslim and radical leftists just won seats across your country.

Since Tuesday, my American friends keep asking me the same question.

How did Japan stay Japan?

In Tokyo, trains leave on the exact second.

Leave your phone on a cafe table, and it is still waiting an hour later. Every year, people in Tokyo turn in over 4 billion yen in lost cash to the police.

We didn't keep this by accident.

When warships forced Japan open in 1853, our ancestors made a vow. Japanese spirit, Western technique.

Take the steel, the railways, and the factories. Leave the self-hatred at the dock.

After 1945, leftists tried to make us hate our history. We refused.

We never let guilt become a state religion the way your universities did. Nobody taught our kids that our ancestors were evil, or that the family was a crime.

Foreigners are still just 3 percent of Japan. When globalists called us closed, we didn't care. We went back to work.

A border isn't just a wall. It is a people who refuse to apologize for who they are.

But you need to hear the second half of our story before it is too late.

Japan kept its culture. Yet we are dying anyway.

In 1949, 2.7 million Japanese babies were born. Last year, it dropped below 700,000.

The left didn't do this to us. Weak conservatives did.

For thirty years, our politicians protected zombie corporations and old voters while crushing young working men. You cannot raise a family on a part-time contract.

When young Japanese stopped having kids, our rural towns simply went quiet and empty.

In America, empty spaces do not stay empty.

Your system priced young Americans out of homes, marriage, and children. Your schools taught them to be ashamed of their own heritage.

At the exact same time, you opened the gates.

You brought in millions from the Islamic world who do not share your values. They have big families, and they have zero intention of assimilating.

They do not apologize for their religion or their culture. They are fiercely proud of it. And they vote as a tribe.

Once that happens, elections stop being about tax cuts.

Elections become a headcount.

A proud culture that has children will always outvote and replace an aging culture that hates itself.

Look at Tuesday night's map. That isn't just a bad midterm cycle. That is your country slipping away in real time.

Stop letting spineless politicians sell out your young people for cheap foreign labor and corporate donors.

You don't save a nation just by praising the past.

You save it by locking the gates, fighting for your own young families, and having children to hand your country to.

It cannot be overstated how much your quality of life decreases when it gets dark at 5pm instead of 7pm

In January 2025 my mom’s lung cancer spread to her brain. The drug with the best chance of helping her was approved in China but not here.

A doctor told me, almost as an aside, that if she were Chinese she could buy it at a pharmacy.

So I flew to Shanghai and came home with 26 boxes in my luggage. That was 19 months ago. My mom is still here, still working, and in her words has had an amazing three years.

The drug was approved in China in 2023. The FDA approved it in July 2025. It still is not for sale here. I know of at least 30 Americans who have made the same trip.

I have been scared to tell this story because I worried it could cost my mom access to the medicine keeping her alive. But the problem matters more than my silence. These drugs need to be developed and available here, and that means FDA reform.

Art Allen at KFF Health News told our story this week. It also ran in The Washington Post.

When my grandparents came here from Italy, nobody was kissing their asses trying to make them comfortable.

There was no “press 2 for Italian.” No expectation that the cashier, bank teller, or guy at the DMV spoke Italian. And they sure as fck didn’t demand it.

They learned English, worked their asses off, raised their families, and became proud Americans. They never forgot their roots, but they understood something we’ve apparently forgotten.

They came to America. America didn’t come to them.

Now expecting people to learn English is somehow controversial?

Give me a friggin break.

Be proud of your heritage. Speak whatever language you want at home. But don’t expect an entire country to adapt to you.

My grandparents came here to become Americans, not to turn America into Italy.

And I refuse to apologize for believing that still matters.

@KenLayne And it shoots outside of Philly!

[Marguerite Mastromat @MargMastromatto]

@AssocAnderson Toward the end of the video, the child punched her and she said, "I'm done." The officer is writing, so you can't see it but you can hear the punch.

[Marguerite Mastromat @MargMastromatto]

@AssocAnderson He punched her in the face. The officer's hands are blocking it at the end of the video.

@AJamesMcCarthy Did either of my cats make it into them calendar?

[Marguerite Mastromat @MargMastromatto]

@LLNorthShore @AJamesMcCarthy I don't think Nicky or Luca are there. I was a little late.

@mymomcare Same at Costco, usually Monday and Tuesday. They shop for their stores.

In 2005, Oneida shut the flatware factory in Sherrill, New York.

A town that had made silverware for MORE THAN 100 YEARS was supposed to be finished.

Two men refused to let that happen.

Their names are Matt Roberts and Greg Owens.

Roberts had managed that factory. Owens was another former Oneida manufacturing manager. When the company ended U.S. production, they bought the plant and the equipment and reopened it the NEXT DAY as Sherrill Manufacturing.

They did not have a giant rescue fund.
They did not have a Hollywood ending waiting.
They had a building, some machines, and a workforce that knew how to make forks, knives, and spoons.

At first they kept making product for Oneida.

Then Oneida pulled the remaining American work and sent it overseas.

That should have been the end.

It wasn’t.

They took government flatware contracts to keep the lights on. In 2010 they filed Chapter 11. They sold unused equipment. They sold space they could no longer fill. They leased back only the part of the factory they could still run.

They came out of bankruptcy in 2013.

Then they did the thing that saved the company.

They built their own brand: Liberty Tabletop.

They sold 18/10 stainless flatware straight to customers who wanted tableware MADE IN THE UNITED STATES.

Not through a department store that could drop them overnight.
Direct.

Today Liberty Tabletop is the only company still manufacturing stainless steel flatware in America.

Same town.
Same trade.
U.S. steel.
About 70 jobs.

They did not bring back 2,000 workers. Nobody did.

What they saved was the last line.

If you want American-made forks and spoons, this is the factory that still makes them.

Support Liberty Tabletop.
THIS is what keeping manufacturing in America actually looks like. 🇺🇸

@DeepLeaksHQ And out of that measly Social Security payment, they deduct Medicare, which still requires purchasing an additional healthcare plan and prescription coverage.

@AJamesMcCarthy This is Nicky. He was 21 when he passed last June. I really miss him.

[Marguerite Mastromat @MargMastromatto]

@AJamesMcCarthy This is Luca. She was a tripod who was dumped during a winter storm. She was 7-years old when she died from a meningioma.
