Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) wrote a scathing op-ed, which was published in The Hill Tuesday, in which she lambasted lawmakers who questioned US district judicial nominee Brian Buescher about his affiliation with the Catholic organization, Knights of Columbus. While Rep. Gabbard never mentioned Sen. Hirono by name, the only two Senators to have made an issue of Buescher's participation in the Knights of Columbus were Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI).

Is era of Ocasio-Cortez over? Candidate she backed gets 6% in Dem #HI01 primary

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 12, 2018 39 Comments

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a media darling. They love, love, love her. Her defeat of Joe Crowley in the NY-14 primary was to herald a new era in Democrat politics - a new, young Socialist face for the coming years. Ignored was that Ocasio-Cortez won her primary with only about 16,000 votes in a primary that had an abysmally low turnout (just under 12%). Crowley pretty much ignored her candidacy, allowing her to win with barely a 4,000 vote margin.

Kilauea-launched lava bomb strikes Hawaiian tour boat, injuring 23

While there is no word on the intrepid marijuana farmers, there has been no power disruption due to the loss of the plant.

Jamie Lee Curtis nuclear meltdown: “Hawaii missile scare is on YOU Mr. Trump…. YOU DID THIS!

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on January 13, 2018 34 Comments

I was a fan of Jamie Lee Curtis, so it's really depressing to read her reaction to the false missile alert in Hawaii.

Hawaiians got quite a shock when they received news of an incoming ballistic missile and were assured in the text alert that “this is not a drill.” It wasn’t a drill, but it was a mistake.
