The town of Lahaina, Hawaii, looks like it’s been “bombed,” The Daily Signal’s Tony Kinnett says after visiting fire-devastated areas on the island of Maui.
Kinnett, investigative columnist for The Daily Signal, spent five days on the ground in Lahaina and elsewhere on Maui. Where government officials have failed, he says, locals have stepped up to serve the needs of the community.
“The locals are universally angry at the federal response,” Kinnett said, and “it’s very common for individuals to have already given thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars out of their bank accounts to complete strangers in order to help compensate them for this incredible loss.”
Kinnett joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what is known about how the devastating wildfires started on Maui, residents’ frustration with government officials’ response, and how President Joe Biden was received Monday on the island.
Listen to the podcast below and be sure to check out Kinnett’s reporting on the Maui wildfires here.

No, eat your gubbmint INSECTS! They are GOOD FOR YOU.
Breaking news: they don’t care. There were only a few thousand in the city and a large number of them are dead or homeless and don’t count. By next November the rest will have forgotten and will vote Fascist as they have done in the past.
It has spawned a lot of speculation that WEF wanted this to happen in order to make Maui a showcase for 15 Minute Cities. EF spokesmen have been positively giddy at the prospect. It may not have been arson that started it all but the Wokies certainly encouraged the fire for their own purposes.
Refusing water for “equity” concerns does not bespeak incompetence. It is a demonstration that humans are expendable and to be used or disposed in whatever way is supportive of their Utopia.
Yep. The STUPID is strong in Hawaii.
“Isn’t Statehood kind of like Adulthood, where yopu have to learn how to take care of your own problems...?”
Well, in this case the argument could be made that the Hawaiians never really wanted statehood.
They always vote demoKKKrat
Well, FEMA told the media to stop doing photos and reporting of the worst. The propaganda media complied.
Fire, poles, live wires funneled drivers into danger

Until the elite mansions burn, there is no justice.
Gosh, I was sure the $700 checks would have fixed all that anger.
True x 2.
It was local democrats who killed their children bu putting incompetent weirdos in positions that required competency.
But it was Biden and the Feds who gave the grieving families the finger putting FEMA thugs up at five star hotels... and sending that creep who ‘felt their pain recalling how he almost lost his corvette and cat in a small kitchen fire.
Biden’s lucky the MSM (Washington Post, New York Times and MSNBC( is filled with private school idiots - ‘journalists’ who know their job is to protect corrupt AND stupid ‘elites’.
“I believe its been 2 yrs since and there is no sign of rebuilding.”
Big difference between the two.
The area of Paradise might be nice, but it’s no Maui — not a worldwide resort destination.
I’ve heard that Blackrock owns Maui Water or Maui Electric. Not sure if it’s true but a guest on RAV who lives there mentioned it.
Blackrock is dedicated to the elites and making their lives better. Clearing land by withholding water, or conveniently allowing electric wires to burn, is not a problem (to them).
Personally, as a conspiracy theorist, I’m wondering if they’re not preparing to rebuild the burned areas for an island retreat for the elite. It’s an island, and easy to isolate them from the hoi polloi in the New World Order.
oh ok, i was just referring to the fires themselves
