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

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.
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.
