Hawaii could be independent

Hawaii could be independent

For those unhappy with the results of the U.S. presidential election, Hawaiian independence offers another option for governing the islands.

With a booming tourism industry, Hawaii could be self-sufficient and could also establish itself as a place to conduct business in between Asia and North America.

Hawaii is not located in North America, so it makes sense to build our trade ties with other countries in Oceania.

Hawaii could enter into a defense and customs union with New Zealand/Aotearoa, providing a currency and military for defense.

Our national anthem could be, “Somewhere over the Rainbow” by Israel Kamakawiwoole.

Trump shellacking, deal with it

Well, the people have spoken and now the Republican party is stronger that it ever has been since 1920. The liberal lies from Hillary (proven by Wikileaks emails) the dishonest media, and the bogus polling were all taught a lesson from we the people of America.

Trump got more votes from the blacks and Hispanics than Romney or McCain! We had enough votes and would have beaten Obama in 2012 if Trump ran in ‘08 or ‘12. All the total and complete BS about the golden boy Trump was all thrown right back into the lying liberal faces on Nov. 8. All they say is racist or deplorable or child rapist or whatever.

It’s pretty funny all the crap the libs tried. Hillary was even caught paying each protester at Trump rallies $1,500 to disrupt to make us look bad. Nice try.

Liberals need to go to the corner of the room, hide your face, cry and shut your mouths for the next 10 years until Trump’s kids get into office. Any one of the three.

Trump will implement everything he said he would because he is one of us and not a criminal politician like Hillary. We have all branches of government, which means libs are done.
