    Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (“Hawaiian Electric”), a subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE: HE) (“HEI”), today issued the following update in response to the lawsuit filed on Thursday by the County of Maui.—— break ——- Several important facts are clear about the events on Aug. 8: • A fire at 6:30 a.m. (the “Morning Fire”) appears to have been caused by power lines that fell in high winds. • The Maui County Fire Department responded to this fire, reported it was “100% contained,” left the scene and later declared it had been “extinguished.” • At about 3 p.m., a...

    ransomnote: The first video was recorded outside the restricted zone. The video features a car on the shoulder of the road supposedly burned from the nearby grassfire (car is essentially melted except for steel frame - steering colum, steering wheel, glass etc.) with most of the terrain surrounding it intact. I put several still images taken from the video below for those who don't want to watch it.Just a few notes: Police forbid access to the fire locations and tell people outside the restricted zone not to take pictures (from roadside - facing into the zone).Near the bottom of this...
  • Major Offshore Wind Company Takes Huge Losses After Struggling To Get More Biden Bucks

    A Danish offshore wind company with major projects in the U.S. has taken huge losses Wednesday after warning about its so-far unsuccessful effort to get more federal subsidies, according to Reuters. Orsted stated Tuesday that it anticipates that its three developments in U.S. waters may be $2.3 billion less valuable than anticipated, in part because the firm is having trouble receiving more tax credits from the Biden administration, according to Reuters. Other problems the firm’s projects face include supply chain backups and rising interest rates that make refinancing difficult. “The situation in U.S. offshore wind is severe,” Orsted’s CEO, Mads...

    As Florida recovers from Hurricane Ian, Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a moral plea against looting that appears to have some firepower behind it. Speaking near Fort Myers in the leveled community of Matlacha on Friday, the Republican Governor relayed one sight he saw in Punta Gorda in neighboring Charlotte County the day prior. “They boarded up all the businesses, and there are people that wrote on their plywood, ‘you loot, we shoot,'” DeSantis said. “At the end of the day, we are not going to allow lawlessness to take advantage of this situation. We are a law-and-order state, and this...

    CENTERVILLE, Iowa — Former Vice President Mike Pence isn't saving his criticism of Vivek Ramaswamy for the debate stage only. “He’s wrong on foreign policy, he’s wrong on American leadership in the world, He’s wrong on how we get this economy moving,” Pence said of Ramaswamy Wednesday while talking to reporters after a campaign stop. The jabs come after the two shared a tense exchange a week ago in Milwaukee at the first Republican presidential debate. When discussing the economy, Pence obliquely referred to Ramaswamy as a “rookie” and said “now is not the time for on-the-job training.” In a...

    Tucker Carlson has claimed Barack Obama was smoking crack and having sex with men - but the media failed to report it ahead of the 2008 presidential election. The former Fox News host repeated the accusation of Larry Sinclair who alleged that Obama bought and smoked cocaine before they had sex in 1999. The allegation, which emerged while then-Senator Obama was gearing up for the presidential election, was roundly condemned as an attempted political hatchet-job. But Carlson claimed Wednesday that it was 'really clear' that Obama had been having a gay affair. He claimed the media didn't run the story...

    [Catholic Caucus] Pope Francis and the "Clericalized Laity": a Confused CritiquePope Francis has issued an attack on American Catholics, denouncing them as "backwards" and "reactionary" in an interview released Monday. Francis has made similar comments against his perceived "conservative" critics on other occasions. This particular denunciation received much more press coverage not because it was nastier (Francis last summer accused traditionalists of having a "dead faith"), but because of his specification that the Catholics he is targeting are Americans. This embroiled Francis-- who has spent a total of six days in the U.S. as pope-- directly in U.S. political debates....

    In a recent interview with Glenn Beck, CEO of Blaze Media, former President Donald Trump spoke on a variety of subjects, including his views on potential running mates. Trump expressed openness to the idea of selecting entrepreneur and political commentator Vivek Ramaswamy as a potential vice president, praising his intelligence and enthusiasm but cautioning about his sometimes controversial stances. During the one-on-one discussion, Beck asked Trump about considering Ramaswamy as a possible VP. “You said that you weren’t going, but you would be watching the debate for a vice president. Have you thought of Vice President Ramaswamy?” asked Beck. “I...

    Politico ^ | 3/2/2023 | John Feeley and Joaquin Villalobos
    (snip) What is often misunderstood in the Hollywood treatment the drug trade receives is that it isn’t just run by foreigners. The internal U.S. distribution networks for fentanyl are the most essential component of the foreign cartels’ operations because, without them, there are no sales and no profits. And organized crime since time immemorial exists only for those illicit profits. By designating producers of fentanyl as FTOs, the U.S. federal and state law enforcement bureaucracies would have expanded powers to freeze the assets of U.S. citizen collaborators of the cartels. They could be prosecuted under terrorism statutes which carry stiffer...
  • Kidnappers Caught in the Act: Heroic Truck Driver Rescues “Approximately 15” Children Trapped in Padlocked Cages in the Back of Pickup Truck (VIDEO)

    In a spine-chilling incident, a vigilant truck driver, who goes by the name Michael, became a hero by alerting authorities about a deeply unsettling situation. Michael was parked in a rest area off I-10 in a border state when he witnessed a pick-up truck pull up nearby. A man and woman proceeded to unlock a padlocked cage beneath a tarp in the back of the truck, from which they released several children. According to the video uploaded by the truck driver, the kidnappers were seen ushering the children into and out of a bathroom at the rest area before locking...

    Hoogland — who was featured anonymously in the Daily Wire documentary “What is a Woman?” — took legal action after a Canadian children’s hospital in 2018 told him that his daughter, who was then just 13 years old, was going to be injected with testosterone, despite Hoogland refusing to give his consent. In British Columbia, the Infants Act permits minors to consent to their own trans treatments if doctors think it’s in their best interests; parents’ consent is irrelevant. Disagreeing with the hospital, Hoogland said his daughter needed time and mental health support, not transgender medical interventions that can be...

    The Maui fire’s human toll is already horrific: 115 people have been confirmed dead after a rapidly moving blaze swept across the west side of the Hawaiian island earlier this month, making it the deadliest wildfire in the United States in over a century. “No one has ever seen this that is alive today,” Maui police chief John Pelleiter said at a news conference Wednesday. “Not this size, not this number, not this volume — and we’re not done.” Officials expect that the number of dead will rise as rescue teams, including cadaver dogs, continue to search the destroyed town...

    The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday launched an investigation into then-VP Joe Biden’s abuse of Air Force Two by allowing his son Hunter to tag along. GOP lawmakers sent a letter to the National Archives demanding flight logs for every time Hunter joined Joe Biden on Air Force Two. Recall, Hunter Biden received a $1.5 billion loan from the Bank of China after traveling on Air Force Two with daddy VP Joe Biden back in 2013 and the Secret Service redacted documents related to that trip. According to Secret Service travel records obtained by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch last...
