You know those Mouse commercials from Japan? The "idol" group featured there is called Nogizaka46, and they've done a lot of commercials. It's amazing -- they're obviously alluring, and yet they're not presenting themselves as America pop princesses do, like they're, what's the word, Dirty Trash Scabcrotch Dirthookers.

Hugs are better than drugs. Do you hear that, JackStraw?

Cats will do anything to for a warm spot. I've read that a cat's "chosen one" in the house, the one whose lap they're always jumping into, is simply the person who radiates the most body heat, which cats can sense.

It's amazing -- they're obviously alluring, and yet they're not presenting themselves as America pop princesses do, like they're, what's the word, Dirty Trash Scabcrotch Dirthookers.

They're contractually required to present themselves as exactly the opposite, usually. If the paparazzi ever photos an "Idol" on a date with someone, their career is over. They "graduate" from their idol group and maybe move on to a "normal" music career. Or they just vanish from the public eye and become a housewife.

That's the starting premise of the anime "Oshi No Ko." An idol gets pregnant, and has to go into hiding for several months (from when she starts "showing"), and then has to raise her children in secret.

And then it gets worse.

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
⁠Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
⁠As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And so unlike the vile bs trash they have turned pop American women into.

What so proudly you stand for with orchestras playing?
While the whole congregation with voices that blend
Strike the grand hym and then torture and slay it?
Tis the Star Bangled Banner they're trying to sing
But they don't know the words to the precious old thing.
How they bellow and shout when they're first starting out,
But the dawn's early light finds them floundering about.
Tis a thin line of heroes that manage to save

J.J.'s Morning Report - (In part) Aside from Democrats, speaking of invasive parasitic worms that destroy everything in their path:

A destructive, fast-moving invader is wriggling its way into yards across the US, and officials say Californians should be on alert. Agriculture authorities are sounding the alarm over the Asian jumping worm, a highly invasive species that’s already been spotted in multiple states, including the Golden State. . . The worms are easy to spot, and hard to forget.

98 This is interesting:

Texas voter IDs are integers. Whole numbers. No decimals, ever. The Bexar County primary poll book contained 4,110 IDs like this:

1,253,115,467.79993

That alone proves something fishy. But the math goes further — and it’s airtight.

When those 4,110 records are sorted in order, the spacing between every consecutive pair is 22,084.82189 — the same non-integer value, repeating 4,109 times.

104 More on Bexar County - San Antonio:

Every one of these fractional IDs was created after polls closed — and we can prove it from the IDs themselves. The gap value of 22,084.82189 was derived from the alphabetical positions of specific voters within the completed check-in list. Those positions cannot be known until every voter has checked in and the full list is in hand. The fractional IDs could not have existed before the genuine list existed. They are timestamped by their own construction.

The records were not random fabrications. Each was anchored to a real registered voter. 735 real people each had 5 or 6 synthetic duplicates generated in their name — up to 4,110 fraudulent ballot opportunities in a single county primary, executed by someone with back-end write access to the poll book system.

117 You said getting blown twice.

Posted by: gKWVE at April 23, 2026 08:42 PM (gKWVE)

118 The key:

"The injection mechanism is elegant and deliberately concealed. Poll pad systems suppress decimal display for voter ID fields because no legitimate ID has a fractional component, so poll workers would have seen the synthetic records displayed as ordinary integers, indistinguishable from real ones. Each of the 4,110 records would have generated a ballot. Once cast, those ballots are anonymous and irretrievable. The fractional component also functions as a precise deletion key: a single database query filtering for non-integer State IDs would return exactly these records and no others, leaving the permanent voter roll showing 735 legitimate voters who each voted once — with no surviving trace of the fraud.

That deletion appears to have occurred. On or before February 25, 2026, all 14 CSV files in the Bexar County early voting dataset were simultaneously replaced in a synchronized 78-second automated batch operation. All 14 files are now clean. The original injected file survives only because it was captured and distributed to precinct chairs on February 19, before the cleanup."

I wonder if this affected Brandon Herrera's primary. He got to a runoff position, but it looked like Tony Gonzales was going to put up a fight. Then the story of the suicide of Tony's staffer took off, and Tony wound up resigning. Which screwed over the voters, because there's probably not going to be a special election and therefore they're without representation for seven months.

144 Paper ballots (serial numbered, unique, all accounted for, including unvoted ones). In-person voting except for very rigorously verified absentee. One day. No electronics in tabulation. No electronics, period. Hand count or electro-mechanical (like the FL machines that perfectly accurately counted the 2000 presidential votes, the first time).

No "curing" of ballots (FFS, what an idiotic idea, incredible it ever existed). Voters who can't properly fill out a paper ballot don't deserve their vote to be counted. Obviously.

We're done. Oh - total transparency, in this internet and electronics can be useful. All polling places, all tabulation operations, on webcams open to all. Emails from precincts/districts/counties, whatever, related to actual vote tabulations are public, posted on a website when they're sent.

This (apart from the webcam part) will allow the US to *catch up* with 95% of the world where real elections take place. Currently we have a system less secure, and less deserving of confidence, than all but the worst/diciest 3rd wold s**tholes.

177 A friend of mine was in the 82nd airborne in the very late 70s to earlier 80's. He was telling about the base he was stationed at. He said all the air drop fuckups were parked along the side of the road heading into the base entrance. I don't remember the name of the base.

It’s not mixing Bulg, if Jesus is overlayed in their entire life. It’s who they are, and giving Glory for being able to use the gifts God bestowed on them is the right thing to do. Jesus being at the center of these men’s lives, and others who aren’t sports figures, may very well be what saves our country.

I have had to grow into this perspective- I was definitely one of those go to Church Sunday, I did my due diligence. But that is the entirely wrong lens, Jesus expects us to worship and learn in a church setting, but he also expects us to apply that in how we live. We will get it wrong, of course, but we should get back up and try again.

199 169. Many of these college student athletes have had many serious struggles an obstacles to overcome. Many lean on their faith to overcome those and end up in the NFL. For example Carnell Tate from Ohio State who was the third player selected tonight, grew up in a tough neighborhood with his mom working three jobs to afford his football playing. She was so thrilled when he was signed to Ohio State and was involved in the players parents organization at Ohio State. His sophomore year, she was shot and killed in a drive by shooting at her home as she stood outside her home talking with friends after dinner out. Mistaken identity.

What would be really fun to watch is if it’s some really sensitive tech that Iran bribed some Chinese general to give them, but Xi didn’t know about it.

It reminds me of how Kim executed a General who’d displeased him by having him sit in the middle of an athletic field and unloading on him with a quad barrel AA gun.

Oh and all the other generals and staff were ordered to to sit in the bleachers and watch.
