  1. So the pause bottom means the living should suffer? There is no such thing as normal. Forever changed! It is easy. it just takes hard work. Hire maui people to work. You guys bringing in hundreds from the outside. 500 free rooms for the Federal employees

  2. 😠 Meanwhile I'd appreciate it if DOGS aren't used to sniff through all these toxic fumes and ashes that the handlers know will cause cancers so they are covered from head to toe with protective gears while the dogs have none! 🐾 Dogs are also painstakingly slow, only 3% ground covered so far as of 08/14. 🕵HUNDREDS of "citizen forensics" would work faster and better, especially now that those with missing friends and families are just sitting around doing nothing, feeling helpless. They WANT to come in, look for their dead and maybe salvage some belongings. TRAIN THEM ON THE BASICS! THEN GEAR THEM UP, LET THEM IN!

  3. Anyone who still has a car is incredibly fortunate. Thank God the surrounding towns & all the volunteers are there to help. My daughter used to live & work in Lahaina. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  4. In January the WEF had a Smart City Conference to turn Maui into an entire Smart Island. Changing everything into electric, renewable, solar panels, and pushing everyone into electric vehicles (15 minute smart cities).
    In September, Hawaii is hosting the Digital Government Summit utilizing A.I. to govern the island.
    In order to do this they need to tear down the old infrastructure.
    But they wont be talking about the Weather Modification Act of 1976.

  6. 11. But the day of the Lord will come LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. 1 Peter 3.10 – 12

  7. US needs to learn from China. Chongqing China had big wildfire last August. More than 5,000 people including fire fighters, soldiers and volunteers worked together to fight against the fire. They emptied more than 500 families with more than 1500 residents. No death happened. Here, in Hawaii, US, no alarm, no notice and no help were provided. The fire burned from mountain down to the city. More than thousand people are missing.
    Also, more than 1.2 million Americans were killed by COVID-19 but only less than 60,000 deaths in China while the population in China is 4 times higher than in US. US government should care American life as good as Chinese government.
