Proving that, no matter the crisis, the left will never let it go to waste.
The devastating fire in Lahaina, Hawaii, left behind a swath of horrific destruction, everything from known lives lost to as-yet-unknown lives lost to massive property damage. It is a true disaster and a serious crisis. And true to the Democrat mantra, the state’s Democrat governor, Josh Green, already has plans not to let that crisis go to waste.
I must admit that I’ve kept an emotional distance from the horror in Hawaii. When I realized this, I wondered if I had somehow wandered into sociopath territory without realizing it. How could I be unmoved? However, as the news has unfolded, I’ve understood why I was insulating myself a bit.
Moving with their usual warp speed, Democrats have been following Rahm Emanuel’s dictum that “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” Most obviously and inevitably, they’ve been blaming climate change for a disaster that almost certainly had its roots in an invasive grass combined with poor maintenance. (Poor maintenance was also behind the California fires that were used to push the climate change agenda.)
However, Governor Green, a northeastern Democrat, has another idea for using the disaster to further Democrat goals: He’s contemplating having the state take over the land and turn it into a worker’s paradise:
I’m already thinking about ways for the state to acquire that land so that we can put it into workforce housing, to put it back into families, or to make it open spaces in perpetuity as a memorial to people who were lost. We want this to be something that we remember after the pain passes.

I agree. Give them independence and we'll give them a very generous grant so they can clean up the aftermath. Hawaiians will have a choice to remain Americans but they'll have to move to the U.S.
That may well very be, but if you’ve been there, spent any time there, you’d would come to love place. It’s absolutely beautiful and it’s one of the best communities to live in in America. The place is immaculate, clean, pretty much crime free, just a beautiful community altogether, a beautiful place to live and to visit.
It is impressive how the government was quickly mobilized, just not to help.
