They utilized the police to arrest people for going to the beach during COVID. Hawaii Democrats have no trouble turning the National Guard and police force loose on the people here.
I see, tapping that great big, beautiful fountain of "alternative" facts, once again!
Let's be clear. Hawaii's Governor, elected by the Hawaii people, deployed the National Guard during real bona-fide emergencies. And at the request of the local then Mayor and Chief of Police.
Further, the National Guard worked with and coordinated with the Hawaii County Police and supplemented, not led, their operations during these emergencies.
At no time was there an order to "take over" policing operations by the then Governor over a perceived and made up emergency.

The 40oz Great Value WalMart brand of coffee went from $15.00 bucks a can to $22.00 bucks in the last few weeks. And if you think Kona grown coffee is expensive, just wait until those 50% tariffs on Brazil kick in!
Don't worry Obie! When you get back to Hawaii, I'll save you a cup of some good Kona grown Bad Ass Coffee!

Like right here.. she professes to ignore me but has started going on about an irrelevant subject as this coffee distraction based on a post she supposedly ignores.
And, besides, who.. pray tell.. drinks coffee at $73 for 12 ounces? But still it gave her a tread.. a very thin tentative thread.. to follow up on a post she supposedly ignores. What a waste..
I am sure the Dude's rambling about the National Guard and Democrats was quite relevant, so I think a good response to you would be to quote a post once made by Obie.
And if that's not clear enough for you, maybe this quote says it better as it was ironically originally directed at YOU!
