KAPOLEI (Hawaii News Now) -- The race for the White House is reaching local classrooms and one lesson has some parents raising their eyebrows. The controversy is over a two-page document that was handed out to classrooms at Kapolei Middle School. It broke down where the U.S. presidential candidates — Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump — stand on the issues. The state Department of Education confirms the document was put together by a group of teachers at the school who simplified the information in a candidate comparison article in the New York Times. The...

Parents in Hawaii have reacted angrily to revelations that students at a middle school are studying biased class materials that disparage former Republican president Donald Trump. The controversy erupted after sixth graders at Kapolei Middle School, in Kapolei, some 25 miles west of Honolulu, received a slanted two-page document about the 2024 presidential candidates. The handout for students aged 11 and 12 focused on negative characterizations of Trump, including how he 'tried to overturn the 2020 election,' and takes immigrant 'children away from their parents.'

The governor’s order does not state how much Californians might save on their bills each month once the measures are enacted. California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order on Oct. 30 aimed at reducing electricity prices for Californians, which are the second-highest in the country, and directed state agencies to find ways to lower costs. Newsom’s office said in a statement that the executive action “encourages electric bill relief” while also maintaining the state’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality and “100% clean electricity” by 2045. “We’re taking action to address rising electricity costs and save consumers money on their...

We now have proof that the Georgia State Board of Elections (SBOE) creates illegal cloned voter IDs in the thousands, capable of being activated to create certifiable voters in an election fraud scheme consistent with embedding cryptographic codes in SBOE voter registration databases. As reported on our website, GodsFiveStones.com, Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., discovered these algorithms in New York, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Arizona and will report on New Jersey, Texas, and Hawaii. A group known as theGANerds_Real on “X” (“The Georgia Nerds”), headed by Kim P. Brooks, has published a series of podcasts on Rumble documenting how the Georgia SBOE...

On Tuesday night, while campaigning for former and potentially future President Donald Trump in North Carolina, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard announced that she was joining the Republican Party. She had served as a Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District from 2013-2021 and even ran for president in 2020. She left the Democratic Party to become an Independent in October 2022, however, and has now since become a Republican. While such an announcement came on Tuesday, as Gabbard joined Trump at the podium in Greensboro, she had endorsed him in August. This is also around the time when Robert F....

one wonders how President Trump and those who love him have managed to cope.... there is no telling what might happen to the United States of America if deranged and homicidal anti-Trump lunatics ever get their way... former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker told host Maria Bartiromo that 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, who tried to assassinate president at Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, might have used “inside information” from a “3rd party” to determine Trump’s whereabouts. I want to know how that person knew to be there, at that golf hole, at that time, that...

Former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard warned that if Joe Biden is replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris, the deep state would remain in complete control. During an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle,” Gabbard discussed the growing concerns about Biden’s mental fitness and whether Harris believes she is smart and effective. “Without a doubt she believes this, I can’t even begin to analyze why that is the case,” Gabbard said. “She has been unqualified to serve as vice president and is not qualified or capable at all for the very real prospect that if Biden wins, she will be president of...

HONOLULU (KHON2) -- Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic that come from larger plastic items breaking down over time. These small particles can last for hundreds of years and can enter our bodies through the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe. The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has started a groundbreaking study to explore how these microplastics affect our lung health, thanks to a three-year grant of $352,126 from the National Science Foundation. Professor Yi Zuo is a professor of mechanical engineering in the College of Engineering and adjunct professor of pediatrics in the...

Hawaii’s Democrat governor said Wednesday that parties involved in lawsuits regarding the 2023 wildfires are nearing a settlement.

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D) used the Senate hearing on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump to criticize the “easy accessibility” of AR-15s. When questioning FBI deputy director Paul Abbate, Hirono asked that he clarify the type of firearm used in the assassination attempt. Hirono then claimed that the United States is “a nation awash in guns.” She then zeroed in on AR-style rifles and asked, “Shouldn’t we be doing more to prevent the easy accessibility of these kinds of firearms in our country?” Abbate refused to wade into a gun control debate, making clear he is “focused on...

Hawaii island police Chief Ben Moszkowicz said police didn’t have probable cause to arrest a new suspect in the 1991 Dana Ireland murder case before he killed himself last week. The suspect, 57-year-old Albert Lauro Jr., of Hawaiian Paradise Park, was recently confirmed to be the source of semen and other DNA retrieved from Ireland’s body and a T-shirt soaked with Ireland’s blood found near the crime scene. Ireland, a 23-year-old visitor from Virginia, was hit on her bicycle, raped, beaten and left on a fishing trail in Puna on Christmas Eve 1991. She died the next day at Hilo...

WASHINGTON — Kamala Harris had one great day in her ill-fated 2020 presidential campaign: her first. Then came a rapid collapse. The freshman senator who announced her candidacy in January 2019 before 20,000 cheering supporters in Oakland, Calif. dropped out in December before a single vote had been cast. Now, Harris may get another shot. As the sitting vice president, she would be a leading candidate to succeed Biden if he succumbs to party pressure and exits the race. Other elected officials might step forward to challenge Harris, dividing Democrats and clouding the general election picture ahead of a November...

Officers should have known that handcuffing a compliant 10-year-old is unnecessary, the court ruled. In an unpublished opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled that the officers were not entitled to qualified immunity, a judicial doctrine that shields government officials from civil suits in cases where the rights they allegedly violated were not clearly established by prior case law. The doctrine protects a wide variety of abusive officials from legal consequences and makes it harder for victims to hold them accountable. Citing previous rulings holding that handcuffing a complaint child surrounded by adults constituted excessive force,...
