Everything the US government has ever done in Hawaii has been bad. If they aren’t going to return sovereignty to the Hawaiians, at least stop doing damage and leave Hawaii’s people be.
On another note, I’ve worked with immigrants my entire life, most legal, many not. Filipino, Samoan, Vietnamese, Hispanic, Chinese, Japanese, Aussies more recently Micronesians. They work, pay taxes, contribute, volunteer. Their kids go to school and play sports with our kids. Nothing to see here
Our communities have functioned just fine without federal intervention. We’ve had protests and just deal with it. Protests about development or the ongoing presence in front of the church about abortion. Crime ebbs and flows. Trump has fucked with something that didn’t need fucking with.
I noticed right away things are a little more zippy with the new router. The old one had periodic drop outs, Time will tell.
New router successfully deployed. To be fair, I’ve done it dozens of times before and I was the IT manager at a private school for a period. Now I’m getting all of message of devices in or home connecting so all must be ok
My wife trying to reason with her MAGA son reminds me of this old quote. Maybe it’s also why past Presidents and the like are kinda quiet

On another note. There are many advantages to getting older, but one bad one is having to revisit every sports injury I’ve ever had with a side of arthritis to boot.
The first piece of new technology that we’ve purchased in awhile. Though this is the backbone of everything else in our home.

If the Hawaii National Guard is coming to our protest on Saturday, can you bring some Poke and taro chips. Mahalo
I had the extreme pleasure of getting to know Kenneth Makuakane in my Keaukaha days in the early 90s. He’s now the Kahu at Kawaiaha`o Church
George Kuo is one of the great Slack Key players. He was never flashy and didn’t sing so he kind of flew under the radar. He was always on stage at Slack Key festivals.
