Political Discussion / the irony of having private security for celebs and politicians
« on: February 13, 2026, 10:00:33 AM »
defund the police! ICE out!
but THEY need them.
https://www.grsprotection.com/how-to-become-a-celebrity-bodyguard/
To be considered a highly qualified executive protection agent worthy of guarding celebrities like Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi means having completed advanced trainings from reputable security companies such as Global Risk Solutions, Inc. under the guidance of seasoned professionals.
If you’ve ever imagined celebrity bodyguards as giant, muscle-bound brutes, think again. Yes, physical fitness is a requirement but it’s more about stamina and agility than sheer size.
The real deal often comes from military or law enforcement backgrounds. These professionals are used to high-stress situations and have the necessary discipline that this job demands. It’s not just about having big muscles; they also need to be quick thinkers who can react instantly in emergency situations.
interesting as all these celebs and pols call for protest none of them are out there doing the protesting, getting arrested or getting killed.

And it's not only early learning. The programs also provide community resources like free food and diaper distribution, help with housing and health care. And for new moms like Kahikina, it's invaluable.
"And everything is free," she said. "That's probably like the biggest challenge with childcare or enrichment kine things."
if it's free why is dependent on federal money?

« on: February 02, 2026, 06:54:20 PM »so based on that...there's no such thing as trespassing. https://www.wcjb.com/2020/06/19/billie-eilish-gets-3-year-restraining-order-for-trespasser/
or that her parents' own their property on "stolen land"
https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-52637815

I don;t see how halting education and economic activity is a productive way to protest ICE operations.

General Discussion / mandatory firearms placards coming

The signs would be provided by the state and it would be illegal to operate a business without the placard. An organization against gun violence said although people have the right to carry a weapon, that could lead to more tragedies.
"This is about our local culture and we are now bending over backwards for an incredibly small proportion of the population who wants to carry a concealed weapon and wants to be able to do it wherever they want to, whenever they want to," said Chris Marvin, Everytown for Gun Safety. "They want to eat their meals with it. They want to shop with it. Look they can have guns, that's their second amendment right, but let's be responsible with it."
Legislators are expected to introduce more gun-related bills by the Wednesday deadline.

"We do not belong on this mountain, this is sacred land. We don't want your jobs. This is all about tourism and not about helping the community," said Melissa Allen.
OK no problem...

PGA Tour leaders have not yet renewed the Sony Open for next year and the Sentry golf tournament was cancelled this year due to a shortage of water in Kapalua.
"The tournament on Maui in Kapalua has a $50 million economic impact," said Mufi Hannemann, president and CEO of the Hawaii Lodging and Tourism Association. "The Sony Open in a good year could be a $100 million."
That's in addition to the invaluable marketing of Hawaii.
"It is one of the busiest booking days as people are in January," said Keith Vieira, founder of KV & Associates Hospitality Consulting. "It's freezing where they're at they're watching four days of sunny golf in Hawaii."
The competitions also benefit local nonprofits, giving a million dollars each in charitable contributions, not to mention attracting thousands of spectators.
"So to lose these two events would be a very devastating blow," Hannemann added.
This comes as Hawaii tourism suffers blow after blow with visitor numbers lagging because of rising costs and political uncertainty.
And with more golf events to compete with in other locations -- it's an uphill battle.
"When you add to the fact that if this should cancel that we've got basically no marketing dollars going on -- less than 30 million -- that happens in the marketplace, it's just going to make things worse and worse," Vieira said.
