We cannot afford more of Joe Biden
If most folks have been to the supermarket lately, you are probably hurting as much as I am. Truth is, our inflation is still not under control in this country.
We already pay a high premium for all the goods imported to this state. I just cannot afford another four-year term under President Biden, who insists on spending my hard-earned tax money on a corrupt regime like Ukraine and all the illegal immigrants coming into our country.
The operative word there is illegal. If our president wants to increase the number of legal immigrants coming into our country, then at least they may be vetted.
Biden is a horrible president, and we just can’t afford him!

Time to open a marina at Kaimu?
My Native Hawaiian neighbor has what I think is a great idea.
He wants to see a marina built on the 1990 lava flow that inundated the black sand beach at Kaimu.
Pohoiki is isolated and no longer a viable location, whereas Kaimu is at the bottom of Highway 130 and the most convenient spot for access to Keaau and Hilo.
He calculates that there is plenty of room for a 20-acre central pool accessed by a channel from the ocean. This would be a major resource for lower Puna.
In addition to providing shelter for fishing boats, ocean-going canoes could visit, tourist boats could ply their trade, and freight cargo could be shipped and landed.
Add in auxiliary support such as an ice house, boat repair and storage yard, transient housing, restaurant(s) and search-and-rescue station, and it will be a thriving operation.
So far, it is only a pipe dream.
Any suggestions as to how to get this concept turned into reality? Are you willing to get behind this effort?

Why is Walmart on DHHL land?
Can someone please explain how Walmart, a non-Hawaiian entity, can pay $1 per year, destroy the local economy of mom-and-pop businesses in Hilo, give the worst employee treatment and pay, yet thousands of Hawaiians have been waiting decades for their land, and my family’s Department of Hawaiian Home Lands land was taken away because we were a few percentage points below the federal government’s blood quantum?
Can this be explained logically?
