Dear Editor, Aug 11, 2026

Aloha!

Thank you for bringing transparent and honest news. However, I wonder why Rachele Lamosao Senate District 19 have not made the news yet. She is the one who took $2000 donation from Ty Cullen after he was convicted of bribery. She was office manager for Sylvia Luke. Usually office manager are directly or indirectly are involved with Politics.

She was endorsed by Henry Aquino who resigned suddenly. Aquino, Bryan Yamane and Ty Cullen were three Amigos. Henry Aquino and his uncle Ben Aquino have been campaigning for Lamosao.

May I ask you to please look into it. We don’t need tainted or corrupt politicians anymore.

Respectfully,

Dr. Inam Rahman

Waipahu, Oahu

Political Discussion / What the yacht?!
« on: August 12, 2026, 06:49:14 AM »
I don't see how the presence of a yacht has anything to do with threatening your way of life. There's all these large container ships that DOCK closer to shore. However, the presence of ONE ship offshore threatens marine life. It's like Lord of the Flies. Immature logic.

Before the vessel headed to Oahu, Molokai residents spotted the Nausicaa off Kamiloloa on Sunday morning.

“My wife woke me up. She was like, ‘Oh, you need to come outside and see this,’” Molokai resident Kenny Adachi said.

Several on the Friendly Isle were concerned the boat could pose a threat for the island’s fragile marine life.

“We’ll get defensive about it because there’s a lot of people here who still live off of the land, off of the ocean,” Adachi added.

Off Topic / Ceramic in car "detailing"
« on: August 09, 2026, 11:05:18 AM »
I have a brand new 1984 Toyota Tercel with factory paint. Last I washed and cleaned my car aka "detailing" I used carnauba wax. I'm debating to send it to a professional "car detailer" to have them wash it and apply wax. Nope no wax anymore everything is "ceramic" this and that. "packages" range from a few hundred to a thousand for a complete ceramic package. Everything has "ceramic" in it. I thought ceramics are clay fired? Now these ceramic products promise everything under the sun. "lasts years" "extreme beading" etc.
Seems that the car cleaning industry has all these fancy terms to describe simple tasks.
"decontamination" instead of washing and cleaning the vehicle. "extraction" for vacuuming. They wanted extra for carpet "extraction' because my beloved Tercel is over 30 years old but I keep it clean.
Are ceramic coatings really ceramic? I see they apply it by hand - no clay firings in an oven or heat applied. They just apply (or the shop stated "install")  by hand with a cloth or sponge type applicator.

Off Topic / leave the whales alone!
« on: August 02, 2026, 04:01:22 PM »
How ironic this research is aimed at identifying stressors to whales by tagging them with "drones" via a dropped tag with suction cups.

https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2026/08/02/uh-researchers-use-drones-tag-humpback-whales/

“It’s a complete game changer,” said Lars Bejder, director of the Marine Mammal Research Program. “We’re putting less pressure on the animals. We don’t have to get close to them.”  You don't have to get close to them if you didn't have the desire to "research" them.

EMS said the 15- and 13-year-old boys were reported to be in the back of a pick-up truck and were tossed from the vehicle.

The minimum age for riding in a truck bed was recently raised from 12 to 16.

Corpus recently launched his business and was attending the event for the first time as a vendor, having attended the event as a guest last year.

Although there were Seattle police and private security, “it didn’t feel like it was enough.”

just really wish gun control was really put into more effect and wish there was more security at this event,” he said.

General Discussion / another successful "buyback"
« on: July 19, 2026, 04:41:55 PM »
Funny term "buyback" as if the govt. owned them from the start....

https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2026/07/20/nearly-150-guns-turned-during-hawaii-island-buyback-event/

“These unwanted guns will never again be used. They will never again pose any type of threat to a loved one or have an opportunity to be used in a crime. ]Every weapon turned in counts,” said Jared Redulla, DLE director of law enforcement.

The genki ball throwers offered no scientific evidence but in their defense it increased "awareness" HPU conducted a study and presented evidence but hey, "awareness and education" trumps science.

Here's the company behind genki balls...https://emrojapan.com/em/case/the-genki-ala-wai-project/

https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2026/07/16/mokulele-passenger-claims-white-object-approached-plane-mid-flight/

On a recent Mokulele Airlines flight from Molokai to Maui, a passenger said she saw “a white something” approach the aircraft that she believed was not a bird, nor another plane.

Molokai resident Tami Dixon said the sight “scared that out of me. Literally scared the **** out of me.”

Already anxious in the air while traveling to the Valley Isle for eye surgery, Dixon said last Thursday’s turbulent flight added to her nerves.

“When you’re in the clouds, you see nothing,” Dixon said.
