Oahu has too many people and cars.  Looking back, it was already that way when I first moved there in 1968.

I now feel the same way when in and about the Hilo and Kona areas of the Big Island.

I propose designating the state capitol grounds and parking lot and Honolulu City Hall and grounds sanctuary and homeless

living areas.  HPD headquarter grounds and parking lot can accommodate any overflow.

Kennedy was killed in November 1963.


I can still clearly remember that day.  I was in the 7th grade and we were in the school yard during recess.
School bell rang and the teachers came out and told us to get back in the classroom.  Once everyone was there
they made the announcement that President Kennedy got shot.  Few minutes later they announced he had died.

I propose no tax on people 70 years and older making less than $10M gross income a year.

Think of all the cars and trucks that failed CA emissions testing and were cheaper to junk than make compliant.  How does that impact the environment?

Plus all the environmental harm from cow farts.

Trump wants the Keystone Pipeline to be built again. He's saying that the approvals will be quick since Brandon screwed them over. You know how they were told "get another job" or "take up another trade" when the 3,000 were affected.

Restarting the Keystone pipeline will be very difficult.  After Biden cancelled the project in his first day in office, companies capable of taking on
such a project are very hesitant to invest millions of dollars in any long term contract that can be simply cancelled by an EO.

Should have listened to da Filipino who opposed rail and wanted to greatly
expand Da Bus system.  He said he could do it for $350M and one year’s time.

Hawaii version of DOGE is called DOGI  Department of Government Inefficiency.

Everyone I know who went to visit Russia loved it, vs China where they report constantly being on alert for rip-offs.

Just don’t bring drugs, except for legitimate prescription drugs, into Russia or any foreign country.

Anyone who tries to deserves to get locked up.

Biden was the worst President in history, but that legacy would have been passed to Kamala Harris if she got elected.

Biden really did irreparable harm to America that may affect the country for the next 10-15 years.  One example is the Keystone Pipeline.
The companies working on it had a five year contract that Biden cancelled, putting hundreds of skilled workers out of a job along with all
the support businesses along the route.  He made it extremely difficult for Trump to restart for several reasons.  The workers and contractors
have gotten other jobs and now companies hesitate to take a government contract that can be canceled by the next administration.

By the proverbial stroke of the pen in his first day in office, he screwed this country over big time.

The bigger question is how safe can we make the new hens so they are not infected? 

Dunno. Gotta ask Fauci.

She's fired and revoked security clearances of 100 Intelligence employees.


Those employees no seem too intelligent to me.  Pretty stupid what they did.

Imagine going home and having to explain to your spouse why you got fired.

My wife got a dozen mainland eggs.  They were $4.79 for a dozen.

And with the price of bread and mayo, an egg sandwich is an expensive meal nowadays.

Karl Rhoads is the asshole who introduced the complete ban on carrying any sort of knife except for butterfly
and switchblades, which apparently couldn’t be included due to some technicality.  Thankfully it died because
it was overly broad.  Stock clerks, construction workers, even first responders wouldn’t be legally able to carry
a knife the way that dumbass wrote that bill.  I would have just ignored that law if it had passed anyway.

I was at Costco Kona on Friday as soon as they opened and they had lots of eggs that were quickly being depleted.

I don’t buy eggs as my four hens are supplying what I need.  Three months ago I had seven but got rid of three that were hardly laying.

Made kalua pig and cabbage.  I use won bok instead of head cabbage.  One box of chicken broth and some oyster sauce.

If we could get them all to show up to a rally at the capitol it would send a powerful message.

According to the 2020 census,  there are only 1150 people living in my subdivision.   Most in unpermitted homes.  Spread out evenly, each person would have 303,026 square ft of land. When you understand the remoteness, you understand why firearms are necessary and why nobody bothers to check or call police when they hear gunshots.

My subdivision in Puna is 12.5 square miles.  You could put all of Kailua, including the marsh in it and still have close to 2 square miles leftover.

To picture it another way, all of Mililani and Pearl City would fit in my subdivision.

The whole area is designated ag zone and almost every house has guns. I think most people here would stand their ground whether there was a law or not.

When you ban things, the problem does not go away.

The criminal element loves bans. It is a way to make money.

Think of Prohibition, fireworks and drugs to mention a few.
