Carry a whistle on your keychain. Some perv touches you, blow that whistle.

Attention will send pervs scurrying.

I’m sorry this young girl had to experience this.

Posted in: 24-year-old man arrested for fatally abusing one-month-old son See in context

1 month old baby at home,

while the mother works, and the father is home?

Babies need their mothers at that age, for feeding, bonding,

and to establish a schedule.

I’m thinking this guy knew nothing about caring for a baby, and when it cried, as babies do, he had nothing to give it but anger and abuse.

A sad day when a mother must work outside rather than care for her newborn.

Not even 3 months old, the baby can’t yet even pick up its head. Ugh.

Despicable, this is no system for raising children.

Choosing a marriage partner when you have a child or children, needs to be a careful

process of observing how the prospective partner behaves and interacts with your children.

This story is horrible.

What kind of a hell has the mother created for her children, by choosing an abusive loser.

I hope both the little girl and her brother are cared for, free from the abusive and neglectful people who have failed them miserably.

Posted in: Trump and Harris to debate Sept 10 on ABC; Trump says he wants two more See in context

Harris was a complete washout on her own in 2020.

As VP of the Biden administration, (border czar?) she's been a no-show.

If she is able to speak without cackling, using word salads,

or her special brand of condescension-speak in these debates,

it will be a first for the world to see/hear.

Ultimately her record will speak the loudest.

15 year olds suffer when nothing is wrong.

It's a tough time of life.

There should be someone installed in a school system

to be there for victims of bullies.

They can't turn to parents, or police,

there should be an unthreatening person set up

as a confidant, for bullied young people,

to help them see another perspective...

GOP mockery of ‘laughing Kamala’ is nothing new to Black women

I was wondering when that race card would re-appear.

This isn't about blacks, or Indians, it's about Kamala Harris cackling like an idiot,

instead of ever answering direct questions...

Posted in: Hockey battle See in context

Using one hand only to move the ball with the stick is bad form.

Notice the French girl has both hands on, that is correct form.

I played field hockey and I remember that move the J- player is using was frowned upon, tempting to use,

because it gives you an edge,

but if a ref caught it, it’s a penalty.

Hockey is not a summer sport, usually played in Autumn.

But whatever.

In this Olympics, so much is “off”…

To be a champion while sticking to your principles.

Novak Djokovic.

The Serbian Christian who refused the jabs

for his own reasons, and endured persecution

because of it.

Now he has his health, along with worldwide triumphs and accolades.

Posted in: The questions about Biden's age and fitness are reminiscent of another campaign: Reagan's in 1984 See in context

Comparing Reagan to Biden?

Reagan had respect for himself, the office, and the American people.

The press can put out all the "what about" stories 'till the cows come home,

but the man who took a pen and signed a pile of EO's, that took a wrecking ball to America's economy, way of life, and well being, won't be blamed on dementia.

Ado sounds like a hologram-

A created mixture of many voice fonts.

Even the breathing does not feel "real".

The music is interesting, though.

I just don't think this is a real person singing it.

Posted in: 45% of Japanese living abroad feel lonely: gov't study See in context

As a long time resident of Japan who has repatriated, I understand.

It's not just language, so much, it's cultural.

I've returned to the USA and I don't recognize so many things.

There is an incredible amount of over-reach in behavior that is hard to understand.

In Japan, for me it was sometimes a problem with exact communication, understanding, at times.

In the US, I understand all that's said, but no one tells the truth, or follows up.

It's either outright lying, or withholding

information to cover their asses.

I miss Japan, and loneliness was also there,

but it felt normal, and you could walk outside and get on a train or a bus and visit a park

or botanical garden, or take a bike ride and just be.

If you don't drive in the US, you are screwed, lonely, or not.

Posted in: Monday will be 13 years since the March 11, 2011 disaster. If you were in Japan, what are your memories of that day? See in context

Western Tokyo, I was riding my bike to the station, for an early rehearsal for my later jazz concert.

I didn't know why everyone looked drunk so early in the day, hanging on to each other for balance, until I saw the phone/electric wires swinging. When I got off my bike, I could not stand upright. I wanted to cry but didn't want to ruin my makeup. A guy nearby laughed at this. When the shaking finally stopped, he was gone. I was able to reach my son at university, but mobile phone service went out, directly after. Stood online to use a pay phone to try and reach club owner, and all musicians that the gig was all canceled...

Rode bike home, a few paintings fell down, turned on news to see how horrible it was going up north.

More shaking. Shopping for food became like a scavenger hunt, but it was orderly. I was thankful for my friends in area at that time. I remember thinking if I had to be in such a situation, better to be in Japan where people were all trying to help one another, and there was no looting.

A few days before trains were running again...

Posted in: 17-year-old boy arrested for beating up man, leaving him in serious condition See in context

I hope the victim recovers from his injuries.

His life is bound to be affected by this attack; hospital fees,

recuperating and loss of his study time, plus the mental and emotional trauma

of being randomly attacked on the street he felt safe on.

The kid that did this has issues as well.

Sending a prayer for the young man lying unconscious.

Posted in: Body of newborn baby boy found in trash can at Osaka hotel See in context

According to police, a hotel cleaning employee found the infant in a trash can near an elevator on the seventh floor of the hotel in Chuo Ward at around 10:30 a.m., Kyodo News reported. The baby, with its umbilical cord still attached and wrapped in a towel, was inside a plastic bag.

So, this person didn't just drop it on the floor, and leave, she packed it neatly (maybe while it was still alive) into a plastic bag, then a towel, and dumped it in a trash bin, where it would be found.

There is a disproportionate number of 'lynch-mob ' mentality comments here.

It is complete and utter disrespect for human life,

and this so called "lynch mob" are stating that fact.

This person was conscious of neatly disposing of her infant boy,

that lived inside her and she gave birth to, with a coldness and detachment

that is inhuman.

The only thought she gave to this infant,

was how to dispose of it.

This is murder.

Posted in: Ukraine-born Miss Japan relinquishes crown after reported affair See in context

In selecting its winners, the contest says it judges candidates based on their inner strength, looks and actions.

The land of passive aggression.

They can't outright say they disagree with her winning,

that would go against the virtue signal they set up-

so sic some rag mag into her personal life until they find (or create) some red meat.

She was probably offered a settlement, for her discretion...

I prefer when the tiaras were from Mikimoto!

She maybe legally Japanese, but she looks completely European.

You mean to say not one beautiful lady of Japan, was up to this? I think not.

I can certainly understand people of Japan feeling slighted.

Non Japanese appearing as Miss Japan, and non woman, as Miss Netherlands.

No globalist agenda here, nope, none at all.
