Beachgoers in Honolulu, Hawaii, are being advised they should never leave their valuable belongings unattended, not even when they swim in the ocean. “For those enjoying the beach, don’t leave valuables unattended on the sand,” the HPD said on its social media channels. “Instead, use a waterproof bag that you can take into the water with you.” (X) In April, HPD reported during a Waikiki Neighborhood Board meeting that more than 160 thefts had taken place in the area in the prior month. The reactions from locals were mixed.

I put Hawaii on the list of nice things we can't have anymore. I have a good reason to visit there but have been reluctant to book flights because of its liberal goobermint, homelessness, and now blatant lawlessness. Are you listening Hawaii Visitors Bureau? Does the state even have a visitors bureau anymore?

One of the things we did on our travels was to leave ALL valuables at home. Visiting other countries wearing expensive watches and/or jewelry is an invitation to thieves. Why risk it?

SO that means the beach visitors can be packing and take out the thieves? Great News!

"use a waterproof bag that you can take into the water with you." And if one of your valuables is an aged filet mignon for grilling later, then your effort to avoid a land-dwelling thief could attract a water-dwelling shark. Don't you dare defend yourself against either of them, though!

15 years ago I was stunned to see large signs in front of the parking spaces at the USS Arizona memorial building saying 'HIGH CRIME AREA DO NOT LEAVE ANY VALUABLES IN CAR' We also decided to visit a beach of the beaten path where locals go on Oahu. When we got to the beach, some very concerned locals came over and said it was a dangerous area and to make sure we had the windows open in our car because if the window are open, they won't smash them to get in and steal your stuff. We decided not to stay on the beach for more than 30 minutes. A friend of mine who was in the Army stationed on Oahu bought a boat the first month he got there and put it in his driveway. It was stolen the first week. I can only imaging how bad it is now.

ATLANTA - A recent TikTok video has gone viral, showing a user’s surprising experience with Walmart's grocery prices. The user explained in his video that he tried to use the "Reorder All" button for an order he placed two years ago, which originally cost $126.67. To his shock, the same order would now cost $414.39. The video has garnered around one million views, with most comments expressing similar astonishment at the apparent price increase. However, one TikTok user pointed out that some of the items in the original order were discontinued, leading to falsely inflated prices.

The first official presidential debate of 2024 was held on June 27, and the reactions are fascinating. Joseph Robinette Biden, who has held offices in the Newcastle County Council, the United States Senate, and the White House for the past 54 years, was clearly as close to incapacitated as one can imagine for a person currently holding public office. Biden frequently mumbled, often appeared not to know where he was or what the questions concerned (despite it being public knowledge that he had been given the questions in advance), even needed to be guided on and off the debate stage. This has embarrassed the politicians and pundits of the Left, with some

The Supreme Court ruled Friday that the government cannot prosecute January 6 defendants under 1512(c)(2), the “Enron” statute, for generally obstructing “an official proceeding” unless they interfered with objects or documents. The bombshell decision could result in hundreds of convictions against non-violent January 6 defendants being overturned — and could result in at least some charges being dropped against President Donald Trump as well.1512(c)(2) was passed after the Enron scandal, when it was discovered that federal law had a loophole: it was illegal to instruct others to destroy evidence, but not illegal to destroy evidence oneself. Consequently, Congress passed a law prohibiting tampering with witnesses or evidence t

The Hollywood shindig will feature entertainment industry bundlers including Rob Reiner and CAA honcho Kevin Huvane, as well as celebrities like Wicked actress Idina Menzel and The Simpsons star Yeardley Smith, according to a Deadline report.

Washington—The Supreme Court on Friday limited a federal obstruction law that has been used to charge hundreds of Capitol riot defendants as well as former President Donald Trump. The justices ruled 6-3 that the charge of obstructing an official proceeding, enacted in 2002 in response to the financial scandal that brought down Enron Corp., must include proof that defendants tried to tamper with or destroy documents. Only some of the people who violently attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, fall into that category. The overwhelming majority of the approximately 1,000 people who have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to Capitol riot-related federal crimes were not charged with obstruction

The border crisis created by Joe Biden and his administration has allowed roughly ten million illegal border crossings since he took office, including nearly two million known 'got-aways.' This is a disgrace to the rule of law, an assault on our national sovereignty, and a scourge of unfairness to those who attempt to follow our laws and come to the country through legal means. Beyond that, it's also a mass-scale public safety and national security threat. When millions of people are permitted to come into the country illegally with impunity -- whether they're totally unvetted or insufficiently "vetted" -- there will be dangerous people and forces who

Millions just witnessed the end of a presidency live on television. Joe Biden’s performance during the debate was embarrassing. Whenever CNN put him up on the split screen, he had a thousand-yard stare. He didn’t look old. He looked ancient. He looked empty. But at least he wasn’t speaking. Because when it was his time to answer, Biden was incoherent. He said he “beat Medicaid.” (Photo) Asked about abortion, he randomly started talking about migrant crime. “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence,” former President Trump noted at one point, “and I don’t think he knows what he said either.” At one point Biden just froze.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told reporters in the spin room Thursday night in Atlanta after the first presidential debate of the 2024 general election on CNN that President Biden won the debate on the “substance.” Newsom and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) were sent into a phalanx of reporters as the Biden campaign’s surrogates with a seemingly impossible mission: spin a debate that even MSNBC thought Biden lost as a win for the incumbent. “To me, that was daylight and darkness … I care about substance,” Newsom said. “This is not about style … Biden not only asserted himself, he reminded people of his accomplishments and his vision for the future.”

In the lead-up to Thursday night's debate, the conventional wisdom was that Biden had to convince everyone - party bosses and influential pundits especially - that he wasn't too old and addled to be the Democrat nominee again. Biden more than bombed, and there are essentially unanimous calls among Democrats for the party to replace him as the nominee. The undeniable star of the CNN spin room has been California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who's in Atlanta as a Biden surrogate and who's now looking mighty attractive to Democrats as a replacement.

Everyone, even CNN, knows that Joe Biden is completely lost. If anyone doubted that, the Thursday debate proved the point. And by completely lost, I mean that he could not maintain focus when asked questions, could not figure out how to look into the camera, and said many things that, frankly, made no sense. I flipped on CNN for kicks and giggles (and no small amount of schadenfreude) and was shocked by what I saw because, as we know, Democrats usually back their guy to the end—"to the pain," as one "Princess Bride" character famously quipped. Instead, I witnessed weeping and gnashing of teeth—and an execution squad.

Several major Hollywood donors for President Joe Biden have been sent into panic mode after President Joe Biden’s poor performance at Thursday night’s presidential debate. Anonymous Hollywood donors told Variety that they had received messages and feedback from donors in the media and entertainment industry who were panicked by what they saw from Biden during the debate. Donors reportedly called for Biden to “drop out” or they would not be “giving any more money” to the Democrat Party. During the presidential debate, Biden appeared to freeze. Biden also spoke with a hoarse voice and mumbled. The president was also unable to get through his closing statement without making a lot of errors.
