In Maui, a disaster of epic proportions is unfolding, one week after wildfires razed its historic city of Lahaina. It's not just that there was little warning and a chaotic evacuation. Now it's the body count -- 99 people are confirmed dead now, and some 1,000 remain missing. If they're dead, and Lahaina has only 12,000 people, the math isn't pretty -- ten percent of the population may be dead, which has a whiff of Ukraine. The cadaver dogs, with rarified training to detect bodies incinerated to ash in flames, are far too few for a mass casualty event like this, so they still have 75%

Trump should hop on his DC-8 and head over to Maui immediately if not sooner to console the populace. If he did, chances are the nasty leftist Democrats who run Hawaii would refuse Trump’s aircraft landing rights as the aircraft approached Hawaii!

He is disgusting - ALL the disasters that the American people have been suffering are ignored or downplayed by this administration - and that reflects his un-American agenda.
But perhaps he deliberately doesn’t want to comment on it because there are compelling questions being discussed on social media regarding the way it started, how it was contained to the specific area, etc. Are those questions he doesn’t want to allow to come up? He has friends who are about to get even richer than they already are.

Everything needed in Maui is "far too few" right now. The small port in Lahaina is destroyed and will need to be rebuilt before any barges can be towed in from Oahu with the supplies from the Mainland that will be needed to rebuid everything else. In the interim, there should be around-the-clock military flights arriving at the airport. Right now - not when the potato head gets around to it after his vacation in Tahoe. As another Ldotter pointed out, his handlers know that the Hawaii vote in '24 is solid blue. No point in letting him speak on the topic and risk saying something stupid like, "Hawaii. Yeah, Barack says he was born there but I know otherwise."

Slow Joe DNGAF about anything, I don't think he even knows he's alive.

He was a p-poor excuse for a human being long before dementia set in. No excuses.

The Kahului port is where commercial shipping takes place on Maui. That port is fine and not near the devastation.

Our youngest son is a Longshoreman in Seattle. His union, the ILWU is asking for donations to fill a 40' container with essentials, formula, diapers, toothpaste/brushes, water, soap, sanitary items etc. Matson Lines has agreed to ship the container for free. If any of you live near the coast maybe check to see if the Longshoremen in your area are doing the same. This is time to set aside our differences, doesn't matter if you're Black, White, Gay, Straight, Republican or Democrat, we are all Americans and there are some who through no fault of their own are suffering terribly right now and need our help.

In 2021 my hometown was hit by a bad tornado. Biden said a few words, Jill Biden came by one day and I have to hand it to FEMA for helping a lot especially dealing with the mountains of debris. But the bulk of the help came from linemen and roofers from surrounding states and from people who volunteered to do what needed to be done. I saw a story that the the people in Maui have organized a flotilla of boats to bring needed supplies. And FEMA is nowhere to be seen.

I've donated to the Cajun Navy several times in the past and just got a request for a donation to assist their efforts on Maui. Unless I were to hear otherwise I will be sending them money again, as I find them a very honest and worthwhile organization.
Also, Fresh Clean Threads, from whom I purchase t-shirts from for my son (he says they're terrific by the way) is requesting a $5 (or more) donation to send a t-shirt to the island. Our family is assisting with a sizeable donation.
As anyone heard a word from the Obamas and what their plans are for helping out? Probably waiting til some of the other bad news about them dies down.

So, just read the Governor of Hawaii is concerned about outsider, foreigners in particular, from buying up the land in Lahaina.
Said he's looking at the State of Hawaii buy the land, and how the Hawaii AG might be able to put a hold on any sales for 1 year, and limit to only people who live (didn't say resident and place you file taxes and vote) in the State.
(Now, who do you know who lives in that State? -- Obama, Bezos, Zuckerburg, Oprah come to mind)

He finally heard that Maui had beaches so he and Jill will go when things settle down over there.
