Aloha Friday: Have We Become a Nation of Sissies?

Uproar on social and national media: safety issues, school openings, wearing face masks -- all now have become political fodder. Gender drives much of this divide. A woman commented on one of my posts. Jody Peterson: I've been a wreck thinking about what to do.....Especially with a new baby in September. It's terrifying...working is bad … Continue reading Aloha Friday: Have We Become a Nation of Sissies? →

COVID19 Infections in Discovery Bay Waikiki

UPDATE 7.10.20: Notified last evening this was a hoax. Thanks to Cherry Pascal, Executive Producer, KITV4 Island News, for researching this. Occupants are strange people. Who punks their neighbors like this? Consider this a type of terroristic threatening. We're consider legal action. Lt. Governor Josh Green, who I affectionally refer to as Dr Jekyll Green, … Continue reading COVID19 Infections in Discovery Bay Waikiki →

Hawaiian Electric CEO Connie Lau Does Not Respect the ‘Aina

Some claim local girl and Hawaiian Electric CEO & President Constance Hee Lau is remarkable. Certainly believe she's an excellent banker. She's done a decent job with American Savings. Yet Hawai'i has plenty banks. She also directs our primary energy supplier in the islands. I sounded the alarm about poor management a year ago. ValueAct … Continue reading Hawaiian Electric CEO Connie Lau Does Not Respect the ‘Aina →

Hawaiians Do Not Understand America’s 4th of July

As our young people tear down statues, call the nation racist, we must ask ourselves how it's possible they have such a dismal and distorted understanding of U.S., Hawaiian and world history. Certainly don't blame teachers or the school system. I know what goes on. Students are more interested in texting each other and finding … Continue reading Hawaiians Do Not Understand America’s 4th of July →

CEO Connie Lau Racism Triggers Colin Kaepernick Style Blacklisting

Yesterday, I described my history suffering Institutional Racism at Hawaiian Electric. Today I'll provide a detailed summary and timeline showing how Hawaiian Electric management appears to have interfered and blacklisted/blackballed employment opportunities for me at HDS, Hawaiian Dental Services.

Racist Connie Lau Policies, Colin Kaepernick and Me

In August 2017, NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick (CK) took a knee in protest during the pre-game national anthem.

African Americans and COVID19

David Harrison, writing in Wall Street Journal (6.28.20), reminded us Black people are more than 3.5 times at risk to die of COVID19 than White people. In part because Black Americans are more likely than White citizens to use public transportation, less likely to work in occupations where they can telecommute, and as a group … Continue reading African Americans and COVID19 →

Dangerous Dave FrankenIGE and Dr. Jekyll Green Threaten Your Family

UPDATE 7.13.20: The Governor and Lt Governor proposed allowing pre-flight C19 testing, which I opposed immediately. The tests are highly unreliable as I documented here. Last Thursday (7.9), Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell expressed doubt about the plan, saying he no longer believed it was “safe for everyone.” U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, and members of the Hawaii County … Continue reading Dangerous Dave FrankenIGE and Dr. Jekyll Green Threaten Your Family →
