During the inferno that devastated part of the island of Maui, wiping entire towns off the map and possibly killing more than a thousand people (once a full assessment can be made), people on Maui begged state officials to allow West Maui stream water to be diverted to fill up reservoirs for firefighting. That request went to M. Kaleo Manuel, Deputy Director of Hawaii's Commission on Water Resource Management, and he delayed approval of that water for five hours - five hours in which the once-contained fire exploded. By the time the approval was received, workers were unable to reach the siphon release so that the water could be diverted. Now we're learning that Manuel, an Obama Foundation Leader for the Asia Pacific Region, is a climate change activist and DEI devotee who's said, "Like, we can share [water], but it requires true conversations about equity."

Except for the people who died.
What an ignorant @$$.
They vote for Rats so they can be taken care of! Even when reality shows them time & time again that isn’t going to happen. Hope springs eternal!
The issue is never the issue.
The issue is always the revolution.
(yet another example; as we all know)
I'm sure as the sun rises, this scorched paradise was a deliberate act to dislodge many thousands from their properties.
The permits for mansions, hotels, and condominiums, by Blackrock, still have wet ink on them.
I hope the locals can find enough rope and lamp posts from what's left?
Without a doubt. Hawaii is every bit as rat dominated as Ca. This will not change that in the slightest because nothing will.
Appears to be another incompetent affirmative action hire.
Say it with me, FRiends….
Communists Aren’t People!
No honey, the dems won’t let mommy rescue you and the dems refuse to have water to put out the fire...Sorry,sweetie...
Wikipedia reports that, in 2020, Biden received 66.59% of the votes in Maui County, which includes Maui and a few small adjacent islands.
Incompetence is the hallmark of the Biden Administration, and also the entire Democratic party.
Correct.
Maui has thousands of boats but no fireboats. Dumb dumb dumber
“Embrace” hardly captures Hawaiians’ slavish adherence to the rats. To them I offer this expression of sympathy: this is what you voted for, you stupid bastards
“Yet the people STILL vote overwhelmingly democrat in these areas.”
You’re assuming there is any legitimacy to a vote count once Democrats are the only ones doing the counting.
Plus, in those areas, the Republican party usually quickly gives up and doesn’t even bother to field candidates anymore, or promote those who do run as opposition.
The second picture is what liberals refer to as “equity”.
Yeah, well there was a seven year old child that burnt to death in a car. No one was with him. He died alone.
Of course, any Republican leader in the Aloha State who calls out Democrat incompetence in the wake of the fires will be hypocritically demonized for exploiting a tragedy for political gain.
So, visited the castle in Aschaffenberg, GE when I was in the Army. Being a history major and knowing the cycle of history of some European countries I figured if I could see some history within the castle. Walking thru the gate I looked up and saw many angled ports thru the wall at all points of passage thru the gate. Upon exiting I noticed the Keep straight ahead and thought it be the natural defense point upon breaching the gate. Whereupon I thought “hey, if they breached the gate there’d likely be evidence behind me. I turned around and saw on many large bullet holes on the wall on both sides of the gate opening.
Yeah, so basically as all power corrupts the leadership inevitably preys upon the populace.
