Hatriotism,"No MAGA Hat Needed~Governor Ige and others  do not speak at Korean war veterans memorial.
Plus~Donald Trump worshiped as a God by Indian village~


I had decided to run a social experiment, then blog about it and hopefully have it published in a prominent publication. 
I would go into 6 business’s
at random donning my Make America Great again hat---recording the results, did they ask me to leave, did they put ex-lax in my food, did they throw profanities my way, or did they say, right on? 

The experiment had not even begun when I was sitting at
my favorite fast food establishment talking story and politics with none other than  the Garden island's advocacy and watchdog columnist and good friend Jerome Freitas, AKA "Da Shadow."

We were both talking  local politics on how we both believe Mel Rapozo would be the best mayor for Kauai when the subject
"Da Shadow" at a recent
Kauai county council
meeting testifying with
county watchdog Glenn Mickens
deep in thought! 
shifted to none other than 45, Potus, "The Donald." Shadow was saying unemployment is down, stock market is up.  I'm saying, the market closed at a six month high, unheard of 5% GDP being projected. Higher 18 month approval rating than any other president in history---along with  an unheard of peace on the Korean Peninsula and the start of bringing home the

remains of soldiers lost in battle from the Korean war...And out of nowhere some stranger sitting a few seats away starts a kerfuffle about how the Republican party itself is not for the common people, only the rich, and how could we even like Trump.  He began the rant and tirade and new mantra of the Left   "Shame on you."  
This left winger did not know us from atom, yet had the audacity to come into our conversation and start an  altercation. He started downloading all kinds of fake news on his smart phone while using the free WiFi at this fast food establishment. Crying you know Trump is going to take your Social security and  Medicaid.

I thought to myself, I'm not even wearing my
"MAGA"  (Make America Great Again) hat and I had a total stranger going postal on us. Roseanne Barr refers to this
as "Hatriotism.(sic)" I also thought  to myself, I sure wish I had a crystal ball to read into the future like this person  with Trump Derangement Syndrome who never got over Hillary losing the election.




The Shadow's advise to me was in his island style pidgin "Bruddah, U need body-guard,and body-cam if you wear dat hat in dakine, otherwise you no safe."



dakinetalk blog endorses
Mel Rapozo as Kauai's
next Mayor!
Da Shadow is a wise man and I am heeding his words not only about  'Hatriotism' (sic) but to remember to get out and vote. 


Please Vote Mel Rapozo!
Read why Mel Rapozo was chosen as dakinetalk blog's person of the year!

Also Read a very special tribute to Mel, "A proposal to vote for Mel Rapozo!"
http://dakinetalk.blogspot.com/2016/07/a-proposal-to-vote-for-mel-rapozo-james.html
Da Shadow has a proposal,
"for all to vote for Mel Rapozo!"
Governor Ige and others do not speak at Korean war veterans memorial



A beautiful touching ceremony on August 1, 2018 that brought the remains of American war veterans killed in the Korean war to Hawaii's Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam draped in American flag based caskets. Vice president Pence came to pay respects and lead the ceremony.



Vice President Mike Pence pays respects
to fallen Korean war veterans after 6 decades.
Where was the Hawaii delegation? This was a time
for America to stand united and push partisan politics
aside. Please remember this when voting.

 I was somewhat dismayed that our Governor and  other high ranking officials were there however not part of the ceremony. Whether they chose not to partake or were not invited to partake is the question? I can only assume they chose to not participate since there is so much hate and criticism  constantly spewed at the Trump-Pence administration.  This was not the time to play partisan politics especially with an election only a week away. I hope I am missing  something, it would had been nice see a united bipartisan stand with both sides participating in such a touching ceremony.

P.S. (believe it or not!)
Donald Trump worshiped as a God by Indian village
   A video has surfaced of U.S. President Donald Trump being worshiped as a deity by a group of Indians. That may be a form of praise even The Don himself wouldn’t approve of, and moreover, there was little reason given as to why these Hindus are convinced that The Donald is Divine.
   Trump supporters in the U.S. may have very strong and vocal reasons for why they support their President, but it’s uncertain why Indians have a reason to worship him, nor has Donald Trump seemed to comment on his new worshipers.

Economy is great. Unemployment lowest ever
 for blacks and non white women.
 No more rockets fired over Japan.
The main stream media will never report this,
President Trump donated his $400K salary
 for the restoration of military cemeteries.
Thank you President Trump for giving American families
 hope again to make America great again.

Hawaii Tourism is stressed, learn from Costco~PS~'Theybies'~
Plus an award winning Samsung photo by Laura Barretto


Everyone knows that Costco
still sells a $1.50 all beef hot dog and refillable soft drink at all US locations including Alaska and Hawaii.  
Costco does not advertise, people just know this fact, whether or not they partake and buy the dog themselves or just know from what we refer to as the coconut wireless here on the islands.  

Why does the state of Hawaii and the Hawaii Tourism Authority spend  millions of dollars of taxpayer money promoting Hawaii, AKA Paradise?

It seems a place with the moniker "Paradise" and used as backdrops in numerous commercials and as a location for many major motion pictures really doesn’t need much promoting?

The fact of the matter, Hawaii is saturated at this point with visitors. There is no longer an off season.  
Residents no longer go to their favorite beaches, restaurants or nightspots because of the crowds.

Friends have told me of longer than normal waits at their doctors offices and the lines at the grocery store can really get out of control.

Traffic, let’s just say,
I am glad I don’t drive. Thank God for the Kauai bus, however the pedestrian trail where I peddle my bicycle has been taken over with rental bikes and tourists everywhere driving 3 abreast and on the wrong side of the lanes. My once refuge the Kapaa public pool has also been saturated with all kinds of new people. Our visitor industry has peeked and reached pandemic stressed proportions.


It’s time to abolish all the organizations that promote Hawaii and advertise Hawaii using taxpaying dollars to the outside world. According to a recent audit the HTA  (Hawaii Tourism Authority) spends
   tax payers dollars extravagantly with little accountability.  According to KHON news, "Some receipts that were submitted were what auditors called "extravagant," such as $50,000 for first-class airfare, more than $400-per-night hotel rooms, compared to other employees' lodging at an average of $266 per night, and even one-day chauffeur service for $369."Thousands are spent on full page ads in national magazines and many 30 second television ads.

The state of Hawaii can use that taxpayer money that was being used to promote Hawaii to
fix-our broken roads, fix the chronic homeless situation and start the ball rolling on affordable housing (somewhat of an oxymoron,) however still a wonderful cause! 

The visitor industry has peeked, on top of everything, every week the airlines announce a new nonstop flight from somewhere new, believing this is
such a wonderful accomplishment. The irony , even with all these numerous new flights prices continue to rise. Competition for the airline industry is so desperately needed in an island state with no current Ferry system.

There is absolutely no reason to use taxpayer money to advertise and promote a place referred to as 'Paradise' that so easily sells itself.


It’s time to re-organize or else nobody’s going to want to come to 'Paradise,' although I guarantee they will still buy those $1.50 hot-dogs at Costco, a company that never advertises to outside sources.






P.S.

Parents Are Calling Babies 'Theybies' To Remove 'Gender Stereotypes'---Ludicrous
I thought this was a Saturday night liver skit. Parents are now raising their children without gender for the first 4 years of their lives and then giving them the choice if they want to be male or female...    Read more and watch Tucker Carlson by clicking on the link below.

Not to spoil the joke, but apparently some don't realize
 this would be after he finished his second term as President. 
He would then be required by current Constitutional law to step 
down, as Presidents are limited to 2 terms. 
Ivanka could then be our first female President.

Why Trump Keeps Russia and North Korea close, -Plus an award winning iPhone photo by Irina Briksa

Why does the main stream media go into tail spins because our President wants to be friends with Russia and North Korea? Keeping the peace is a good thing!


They all freaked out and ranted about how he treats our allies worse?


Is Trump really going to
tell Putin he's a liar? That's what the press core wanted to know during a press conference after the recent summit.  Russian has the second largest nuclear
arsenal besides the US. Does the press honestly believe Trump is going to tell Putin he's a liar on front of millions?  Can you imagine the ramifications from that?

What Trump is doing is playing poker and our media calls him out.  He’s purposely
kissing up to Putin, he did the same with Kim.  This  is a sales move, I use to use a similar sales technique of where your client is always right. The media needs to understand they can’t blow his cover. “



The fact of the matter that our allies as in the instance of NATO haven’t been paying their fare share, Trump is the first president who laid it on the line.  He felt he could talk that way and be strict like a disciplinary father with his children.  On the contrary with Putin and Kim he is treating them with kid gloves and living by the mobs signature motto, “keep your friends close and your enemies closer!” This way when you have to make a defensive move they will be blindsided.


Trump is keeping  America safe contrarily to all you hear with the main stream media. Like a good poker player  you never let your opponent  know your hand, thoughts or next move ,unlike past administrations. Brilliant! 


Vote Mel Rapozo, Kauai's next Mayor!
Mel listens, gets things done and spreads

 Aloha to both sides of the aisle.
That's why Kaua'i needs him!



This is classic, a must watch! 

Check out this  YouTube video of President  Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama both talking about getting rid of illegal immigrants, watch Trumps reaction shots, priceless!

P.S.
Something to Ponder!

Remember when Donald Trump was business partners with the Russian government and his company got $35 million from the Russian government investment fund called Rusnano that was started by Vladimir Putin and is referred to as "Putin's Child"?

Oh wait, that wasn't Trump it was John Podesta.

Remember when Donald Trump received $500,000 for a one-hour speech in Moscow on June 29, 2010 and paid for by Renaissance Capital, a company tied to Russian Intelligence Agencies?

Oh wait, that was Bill Clinton.

Remember when Donald Trump approved the sale of 20% of US uranium to the Russians while he was Secretary of State which gave control of it to Rosatom the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation?

Oh wait, that was Hillary Clinton.

Remember when Donald Trump lied about that and said he wasn't a part of approving the deal that gave the Russians 1/5 of our uranium, but then his emails were leaked showing he did lie about it?

Oh wait, that was Hillary Clinton and John Podesta.

Remember when Donald Trump got $145 million dollars from shareholders of the uranium company sold to the Russians?

Oh wait, that was Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.

Remember when Donald Trump accepted millions in donations from Russian Oligarchs like the
chairman of a company that's part of the Russian Nuclear Research Cluster, the wife of the mayor of Moscow, and a close pal of Putin's?

Oh wait, that was the Clinton Foundation.

Remember when Donald Trump failed to disclose all those donations before becoming the Secretary of State, and it was only found out when a journalist went through Canadian tax records?

Oh wait, that was Hillary Clinton.

Remember when Donald Trump told Mitt Romney that the 80s called and it wanted its Foreign policy back. The Cold War is over?

Oh wait, that was President Obama.
