In 1944, thousands of Japanese on Saipan hid in caves, sure the Americans would torture them if they came out. Many families chose the cliffs instead.
An 18-year-old American Marine from East Los Angeles walked up to those caves at night, alone, and called to them in Japanese.
His name was Guy Gabaldon. He was a Mexican American kid who had grown up partly in the home of a Japanese American family, the Nakanos. That is where he picked up his Japanese. When the war came, the Nakanos were sent to internment camps. Their twin sons, Lane and Lyle, joined the U.S. Army anyway and served in the 442nd.
Fifty years later, he still said it plainly: "These were Americans."
On Saipan, Gabaldon was a scout with the 2nd Marine Regiment. Right after landing, he slipped off on his own and came back with prisoners. His commanding officer, Capt. John Schwabe, threatened him with a court-martial for leaving his post.
The next night, he came back with about fifty.
After that, they let him go out alone.
He crawled to the cave mouths in the dark and promised the people inside water, medical care, and that nobody would hurt them. Night after night, ten or twenty at a time, they followed him out.
On July 8, by his own account, about 800 came out in a single day. Schwabe remembered that day too. It was the day they tagged him the Pied Piper of Saipan.
Not everyone listened. At the cliffs, he begged a mother not to kill her child. He watched her throw the baby and jump. He was still talking about it fifty years later.
His Navy Cross citation says that on Saipan and Tinian he brought in "well over one thousand enemy civilians and troops."
Schwabe recommended him for the Medal of Honor. He received the Silver Star. Sixteen years later, after Hollywood made a movie about him, the Navy upgraded it to the Navy Cross.
He died in 2006 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
I am Japanese. Those caves were full of my people, frightened, starving, and certain that the Americans were monsters.
An American teenager walked toward them in the dark and offered them water.
On this Veterans Day, Japan should know his name.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT
THIS IS INCREDIBLY WELL-PUT, AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S WRITTEN BY A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is our separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets, since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
—We don't like redistributive taxes, so you can keep them.
--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military.
--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and the coal mines, and you can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel.
--You can keep Oprah, Whoopi, Bill Maher, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all five of them.
--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street.
--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens.
--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEOs, and rednecks.
--We'll keep Bill O’Reilly and Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.
--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters.
--When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLaine. You can also have the UN., but we will no longer be paying the bill.
--We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.
--You can give everyone health care if you can find any practicing doctors.
--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine," "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," "Kum Baya," or "We Are the World."
--We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle-up poverty your best shot.
--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name, and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you might think about which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American
P.S. Also, please take George Clooney, Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Short, Charlie Sheen, Barbra Streisand, and (Hanoi) Jane Fonda with you.
P.P.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country.

💡🇯🇵 Did you know that Japanese bamboo helped light up America? 🇺🇸
October 21 is “Akari no Hi” (Day of Light) in Japan!
In 1879, Thomas Edison achieved a major breakthrough with his practical incandescent light bulb.
But here’s a surprising twist!
🎋 Edison later used bamboo from Kyoto, Japan, to make filaments for his light bulbs!
That Japanese bamboo helped his bulbs shine for over 1,000 hours.
Who would have imagined that bamboo from a small corner of Japan would help illuminate homes across America?
🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸 A little piece of Japan helped light up the world! 💡✨

A powerful magnitude 7.6 earthquake just struck Panama this morning. The U.S. Geological Survey reports that the epicenter was located near the southern tip of the country, roughly 9 to 10 kilometers southwest of the remote community of Pitaloza Arriba.
The tremors were strong enough to be felt all the way in Panama City, causing buildings to shake and prompting widespread evacuations into the streets as residents awaited news on the impact. Some local reports are even estimating the magnitude could be as high as 8.0.

Locally, the forecast remains on track. On Thursday, there is a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall. The axis of heaviest rainfall remains west, but a Moderate Risk (level 3/4) bumps right up against our NW counties. We'll closely monitoring the forecast for changes.

YOU'RE MAKING A STUPID SECURITY MISTAKE IF YOU DELETE A GROK BOT WITHOUT RUNNING THESE 5 CHECKS.
deleting the profile removes the Bot, its conversation, and its routines.
it does not guarantee a clean shared computer.
01. stop every routine
confirm that no scheduled or background work is still attached to the Grok Bot.
02. revoke connected access
sign out of browser accounts and remove every connector the retired role no longer needs.
03. clear shared files
move required deliverables, then remove temporary exports, downloads, and sensitive local copies.
04. rotate exposed secrets
revoke any manually added API key or token that may have touched the shared environment.
05. test the boundary
ask another Grok Bot to check whether it can reopen the retired role's files or authenticated sessions.
a deleted Grok Bot is not an offboarded Grok Bot until its files, sessions, access, and routines are clean.

We are about to see one of the largest rain events that’s ever been triggered in the continental United States by a Pacific Hurricane.
After making landfall in Baja California, the saturated remnants of former-Category 5 Hurricane Polo are going to inject a massive conveyor belt of deep, tropical moisture up through NW Mexico and into the U.S.
South-Central Texas could be at the epicenter of the event, with isolated rain totals potentially reaching up to a FOOT this week.

TEXAS and OKLAHOMA folks – Wednesday, September 30 will feature both locally significant flood potential AND some severe weather.
Widespread 4 to 8 inch rainfall totals are likely, especially along I-35 from Oklahoma City to Dallas to Austin-San Antonio. That also includes Ardmore, Marietta, Denton, Waco and Killeen.
The Weather Prediction Center has highlighted the region as having a moderate risk for flash flooding/excessive rainfall... AND we can't even rule out a couple isolated tornadoes.
Hurricane Polo's remnants will be scooped up by an approaching jet stream disturbance. That will advect, or move, robust tropical moisture into the region. Plus that upper-air disturbance will provide the trigger needed to produce widespread downpours.
We think a secondary surface low in Kansas will form and swing a dryline east. As dry air impinges on moisture, we'll have another line of downpours and storms form. Some of the storms could be severe, and tap into jet stream energy aloft. That could mix some momentum to the surface in the form of sporadic damaging straight-line wind gusts.
And given the jet stream energy upstairs, we could have a supercell (rotating storm) or two, leading to at least an isolated tornado risk.
Now we DO need this rainfall... but not all at once. Plus DFW just went 67 days without rain; when the ground is moisture-starved, it hardens over time, making it less permeable when rains return. That could actually exacerbate flood issues Wednesday/Thursday.
Stay tuned and stay safe in the coming days.

A dangerous, tropically fueled deluge will lead to LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING across the Central and Southern Plains this Wednesday!
The extreme moisture that has been hammering the Southwest will finally push eastward into the Plains by mid-week. This highly dangerous setup is being driven by a collision of two major moisture sources: the remnant tropical moisture plume from former Hurricane Polo sweeping in from the west, and a surging low-level jet pulling deep, humid air straight out of the Gulf of Mexico.
This highly saturated environment will fuel widespread, intense downpours, prompting two distinct Moderate Risks for excessive rainfall. The first danger zone targets the juncture of southeastern Colorado, northeastern New Mexico, the extreme Texas Panhandle, and southwest Kansas. A second, equally severe flash flood threat covers a massive corridor stretching from central Texas straight up into eastern Oklahoma.
Because this system will bring multiple days of overlapping heavy rain, the ground simply won't be able to absorb the water. Rapid, dangerous flash flooding is highly likely, with dry washes, slot canyons, higher terrain, and recent burn scars facing the most immediate and severe runoff risks.
