Stop Muslim immigration
Traitor: Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, U.S. citizens allowing Muslims in the U.S. — same. Angela’s allowing mass migration to Germany has cost the German people €1.5 trillion, 16 lives and countless victims of rape and violent assault (thus far).
Do you think €1.5 trillion could have been better spent helping the German citizens? Helping the German homeless, Germans with health problems and improving the education of German youth come readily to mind. What about the 16 murdered souls due directly to Merkel’s immigration policy? Should she be charged with murder as well as treason? What about the Germans being the victim of rape and violent assault by her migrants? Should she be charged with these as well?
Can aid be sent to the Muslim countries — perhaps from the 50 Muslim-majority countries? The reason why the 50 Muslim-majority countries have not taken in more of their fellow Muslims is that this is the Hijrah-conquest by immigration.
How do you expect the U.S. results to be different than Germany’s? Vetting didn’t save the 14 murdered souls at the Muslim terrorist attack in San Bernadino. Anyone agreeing to allow Muslims into the USA is committing treason.

Profits before patients
Is it profits before patients or just a matter of poor management? Kaiser’s closing of the South Kona Clinic is a travesty for many living south of Kailua-Kona all the way to Ka’u. This combined with the closing of the Oshima Pharmacy has created an undue hardship on the residents, especially the elderly who don’t always have transportation or friends to spend two hours of travel to the new Kaiser clinic.
If Kaiser had offered the services they originally planned for the expensively built South Kona clinic, they would have had the patients they had planned on. They usually had only one doctor and only morning lab work, requiring the elderly in need of diabetic foot care to travel downtown.
To see any specialist, you had to travel downtown, afternoon blood work you had to travel downtown. X-rays = downtown. No service out south means no patients out south. Kaiser, you could have done much better or could it be your chairman and executives needed another raise.
The internet is full of newspaper stories on the excessive salaries of Kaiser management. Too bad some of that didn’t filter down to South Kona.

Continue pushing 100% renewable transportation
Aloha Senator L. R. Inouye,
I believe the HB 1580 should be amended to match the language of the Senate version (100 percent renewable transportation by 2045).
Please don’t settle for the House’s version (5 percent by 2025). At that rate, clean transportation for Hawaii Island is 160 years away. I’m 19. If I want my child to see clean transportation, I have to wait until I’m 41 to have him/her and hope she/he lives to 100. I encourage you to continue pushing for your original goal (100 percent renewable ground transportation by 2045). I ask you to raise the House goal to 31 percent by 2025 so we’re on track to reach your original, long-term goal. At the very least, please don’t let the house go below 13 percent by 2025 so I can hope to see renewable transportation before I’m 80. You have already received 122 pages of testimony on this bill. I am asking everyone I know to submit testimony to WAMtestimony@capitol.hawaii.gov. Please hear us.
