We're seeing a revolving door between ICE and the private prison industry. The new head of ICE is a former VP at GeoGroup, the company that runs over a dozen detention centers, including Delaney Hall. This is corruption using taxpayer dollars, and we need to stop it.
When Barack Obama entered the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park on May 27, 2016 — becoming the first sitting U.S. president to visit the city destroyed by the United States in August 1945 — the world focused on his speech. Cameras showed the wreath at the cenotaph. Headlines rightly emphasized the weight of the moment. But almost no one noticed a short, quiet Japanese man standing among the official delegation.
His name was Shigeaki Mori. He was eight years old on the day of the atomic bombing. By 2016, he was the only person who knew the names of all twelve Americans who died in Hiroshima — U.S. prisoners of war whom America had never fully accounted for.
Mori spent forty years finding them. Not for money. Not by order. Simply because he believed the dead should have names.
He was born in Hiroshima on March 29, 1937. On the morning of August 6, 1945, he was crossing a small bridge about 2.5 kilometers from the epicenter. The blast threw him into the stream below. Decades later, he recalled:
“I climbed out and saw a woman stumbling toward me. Her body was covered in blood, her organs hanging out. Holding them, she asked where the hospital was. I cried and ran away.”
He was eight. And there were no hospitals left.
Mori survived. He grew up in postwar Japan, worked ordinary jobs — in a brokerage, later at a piano factory — but dreamed of becoming a historian. He never got a formal degree. So he became one on weekends.
In the 1970s, a professor showed him a document: a list of twelve American airmen shot down over Japan in 1945. They were crew members of two B-24 bombers — Lonesome Lady and Taloa — captured and held in Hiroshima, just 400 meters from where the bomb exploded.
They died from their own country’s bomb.
For decades, their story was barely acknowledged. Families were told only: “missing, presumed dead.” No details. No truth.
Mori decided to find it.
Without funding or institutional support, he spent decades reconstructing their fate — comparing archives, tracking records, even locating surviving crew members. One by one, he restored their identities.
Then he wrote letters.
In broken English, he contacted families across the U.S. — often seventy years too late — explaining what had happened to their sons, brothers, husbands.
In 2008, he published his research, which eventually led the U.S. government to officially acknowledge the deaths of the twelve American POWs in Hiroshima.
In 2016, a documentary introduced his story to a wider audience. During Obama’s visit, Mori was invited to attend. In his speech, Obama mentioned the victims — including “twelve Americans held in captivity.”
For the first time, a sitting U.S. president publicly acknowledged them on Japanese soil.
After the speech, Obama approached Mori — a small, elderly man who bowed politely. Then, unexpectedly, the president opened his arms.
They embraced.
The image went around the world.
In 2018, at age 79, Mori visited the United States for the first time. He attended memorial events, spoke publicly, and finally met some of the families he had written to for decades.
When asked why he devoted his life to Americans who died beside him, Mori answered:
“My work was not about people from an enemy country. It was about human beings.”
Shigeaki Mori died in Hiroshima on March 14, 2026. He was 88 years old.
🇯🇵A Japanese developer built an app that puts a fat cat on your screen and forces you to take a break
Silicon Valley spent billions on wellness platforms, mindfulness subscriptions, and digital detox retreats
A guy in Japan said: fat cat, problem solved
So to recap—at the mere mention that a shooter was in the building:
-Erika Kirk left bawling that she wants to go home
-Stephen Miller was photographed hiding behind his pregnant wife (human shield?)
-The literal FBI director Kash Patel sat frozen in fear & didn't move a muscle
-Trump fell down while running away, despite several agents holding him up
But they expect our children to survive hundreds of school shootings annually and go on like nothing happened. The math aint mathin.
Mexico—a nation with 1/17th GDP of USA—is rolling out universal healthcare to its 130 million citizens.
Starting April 13, Mexicans 85+ will have access to universal healthcare. By January 2027, Mexico will expand universal healthcare to all people, with full coverage of drugs, lab tests, etc by 2030.
Reject the MAGA and Corporate Democrat lie that "we cannot afford universal healthcare." Truth is we cannot afford to continue exploiting health for profit. We demand healthcare as a human right.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.
His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been.
Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
& better angels of our nature.
What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice;
In the end, gorgeously,
Endures our enormity.
You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.
CBS filmed but DID NOT air this interview where Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends Mayor Zorhan Mamdani, confirming that he is NOT antisemitic.
The media doesn't agree; hence, they didn't air it, so I decided to share it.
Let's make sure EVERYONE sees it.
J.D. Vance claimed Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz retired from the military to avoid deploying to Iraq. Walz retired to run for Congress before his unit received official deployment orders, records and news reports show. https://t.co/ui2X8rccGe
As Former President Jimmy Carter approaches 100 years old, he told his family this week that his goal is to “make it to vote for Kamala Harris” for President. I couldn’t love this amazing man any more than I already do. 💙🙏
