The death in Hawaii has risen to 80 as six wildfires are burning in Maui and the Big Island. Just 85% of the fire is reportedly “contained.”
Authorities warn that the death total “could go up.” Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said this is the largest natural disaster in the state’s history. Many of the town’s historic landmarks are lost.
Winds from Hurricane Dora have fanned the flames across Hawaii. The storm is hundreds of miles southwest of the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
In the meantime, critics say President Joe Biden is requesting nearly $40 billion in aid, which includes a staggering $24 billion for Ukraine and $12 billion to replenish federal disaster funds.

Biden reportedly added $4 billion for “border security” and funds for disaster relief in order to make the bill “more palatable to Republicans.” The funds for Ukraine for intended to provide $13 billion in security assistance, $7.3 billion for economic and humanitarian assistance, and $3.3 billion for infrastructure.

Republican Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana has responded, “We wonder why the Biden administration is trying to pump billions of dollars back into Ukraine so that it can be laundered and redistributed. The only thing we can keep a close accounting of what we’ve sent to Ukraine already to this point are the weapons, and we know what the value of those weapons are.”
There has never been a “good audit” to account for “the $70 billion to $80 billion of cash revenue” that Ukraine has received from the U.S.
In 2016, Rosendale ran for Montana state auditor. He defeated the incumbent auditor, Troy Downing, in the Republican primary and the general election. As auditor, Rosendale focused on reducing government spending and improving transparency. He also worked to protect Montana’s natural resources.
“I would certainly urge [the] Judiciary [Committee] to put these facts together and to begin these impeachment considerations,” he said. “I hope that when we return in September that we can begin to have serious considerations and discussions about which impeachment proceedings to begin on. The facts have been presented to us, so OK, let’s begin the process,” said Rosendale. “Bring that up and let the American people see that we hear them, that we are not going to tolerate this criminal activity and that we’re there to do something about it.”
So the sleazy legislative trick they're reportedly going to use for the next round of Ukraine "aid" is to package it with disaster relief — that is, if you vote against the bill, you're monstrously voting against relief for natural disaster victims pic.twitter.com/RrzMymvLwV

Rosendale says it’s “exceedingly clear” that President Joe Biden and his family have been doing business with foreign nationals by “selling our country out.” Newly obtained bank records show the Biden family received over $20 million. The bank receipts show millions in payments came from Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings as well as Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina and Kazakhstani oligarch Kenes Rakishev. Biden attended dinners with Baturina, Rakishev, and a representative from Burisma.
Appearing on Newsmax, Rep. Rosendale argued that its time to open an impeachment inquiry against Biden. He noted that Democrats opened impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump twice “with a lot less information.” So-called evidence against Trump was “generated out of thin air” with “false documents, forged documents, and false testimony.”
In contrast, Republicans “have actual documents that show that Vice President Biden and his son and other family members were receiving millions and millions of dollars, whether it’s the Chinese government, the Kazakhstan government, the Ukraine government, the Russian government to sell our country out.”
They’ll keep setting fires until you submit to their climate change agenda.
They’ll keep instigating shootings until you submit to gun control.
They’ll keep faking pandemics until you submit to medical slavery.
They’ll keep printing money until you are absolutely poor and destitute......................
They won’t even bother with anonymous any more.
The big hotel resorts are probably on the streets now making generous offers...................
They have sold their souls to the Devil for money, which will burn with them for eternity.
I believe they will turn it into another Williamsburg Va..a private resort area identical to the “scope” of Williamsburg Va, the old Colonial Capital. And it was owned by one man...named Rpckefeller.
I think I read that a thousand are missing in Maui.
I don’t think anyone is missing.
1. Since when could America not chew gum and walk at the same time.
2. With the federal government, not spending money in one place does not automatically assign it, or get it allocated to be spent in another place. It takes two different decisions and involves independent processes for each.
Not when there’s a corrupt Democrat in the White Hut................
Giving money to Hawaii won’t have the same kickback as does giving money to Ukraine.
Correct. Hi will keep voting democrat. But gotta keep Ukraine going to advance their grift and cover-up.

Just as long as
American taxpayer’s

American taxpayers
Joe Biden and
Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama
are all happy
About 100 mile from Pearl Harbor to damaged island, is the US Navy there? They have the hospital ships, the equipment, the training, the man power. If the US Navy is not anchored off shore then WTF?
I am saving your excellent summary. Great way to frame it.
There was no Winds from Hurricane Dora. The gusty winds are the result of a large difference in pressure — more than 60 millibars — between high pressure to the north of the islands and low pressure associated with Dora passing to the south. Differences in atmospheric pressure create wind, and gusts become intense when the differences are steep over small distances.
