Westside Stories: What’s wrong with this?

What’s wrong with this picture?

We see that armorer girl on the movie set of Rust. She looks like a teenager with purple hair holding two guns like she’s playing Annie Oakly. She drinks booze and is hungover on the set. Big surprise when she accidently puts a real bullet in the box of blanks and Alec Baldwin shoots the camera lady.

What’s wrong with this picture?

On the local scene in Kona there has never been enough parking spaces. Then some devious company sneaks in one night and puts up signs making you pay $12 an hour for parking, basically shutting down the whole town. Now tourists get gouged, businesses lose customers and you have to pay 40 bucks just to visit Kona.

There is hardly enough water on the Kona side, and the wells we have are constantly breaking down. There’s barely enough water for those of us already here.

Now there are construction sites all over Kona building more and more new houses using our shaky wells. So where’s the water coming from? The answer is, nowhere. The contractors will cash the check and run out the back door.

Here’s a question for you. With all these new homes and cars, how’s that little road to the Kona dump going to look like with hundreds more cars and trucks?

Our overworked cops are uprooting homeless people all over town when there are rows of homes for street people sitting empty at Old Airport.

There are 350 million people in America and the one person half the country wants as our president is a guy who lies and steals, pays off prostitutes, abuses women, incited a deadly riot at the nation’s capitol, cheers on dictator Vladimir Putin, was impeached twice, and has 91 felony indictments for corruption and fraud. They are about to throw him in jail.

If this is the one you want as our honorable president, when you look at your face in the mirror, look closely at yourself and ask what’s wrong with this picture?
