[Twitter] Maui County is REFUSING to let residents who lost their homes in the fire to clear their own property—let alone rebuild.
The government is only letting THEIR contractors into the burn zone to clean up.
The biggest problem is, at the rate they’re working, it will take SEVERAL YEARS for them to finish cleanup. And that’s BEFORE rebuilding even starts.
THEY’RE INTENTIONALLY STALLING AT THIS POINT, FORCING PEOPLE TO LEAVE.
Let me break this down:
➡️ Cleanup literally just started roughly two weeks ago (WHY?)
➡️ There are at least 2100 properties charred from the fire
➡️ They’re only clearing an average of 2 lots per weekday so far
➡️ Only seven trucks are running cleanup
And to top it off, even if your lot is cleared, you’re STILL not allowed to start rebuilding.
There needs to be a literal ARMY of people out here clearing lots. Not just a handful.

...My personal conspiracy theory on this is that there's some SERIOUS builders and developers who want to build there, and as soon as they can run those pesky residents out of there they can get started.

So, pretty much was predicted from Day 1 when the 1st reports from this cockup were coming in.

IIRC at Greensburg and Starbuck Fire, residents were not allowed access to federal emergency funding and services until after their property was cleared of debris.

I would have thought even the most corrupt government would have allowed specific contractors (who could be sworn to silence) to move peoples stuff (safely) into pods that could then be moved to a safe site. Then the insurance companies pay off the homes entirely and people can move on with their lives and nefarious schemes can progress.
What they are doing now baffles. It's like they are corrupt, stupid, and evil all at the same time.

I don't think there's any doubt that the "powers that be" realize most people can't wait forever and will have to take whatever deal they get no matter how crooked it is.

Whatever they are doing won’t withstand the scrutiny of discovery.

Ramascamy says a lot of stuff that sounds note perfect. So did most of the RINOs who turned their backs on the people who elected them as fast as they could.

I remember in 2022 when she was fundraising for election lawyers. She failed to do anything that she fundraiser for. The audit will be interesting. She looks well fed, but I don’t think you can blow that much money on McNuggets.

[NY Post] GOP Caucuses are Thursday and those come with delegates. Trump wasn't on the ballot
President Biden emerged victorious in Nevada’s Democratic primary Tuesday, while former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley suffered a humiliating defeat in the Republican contest, where former President Donald Trump’s name wasn’t even on the ballot.
"None of these candidates" was the top vote-getter on the GOP side of the bill, with the option receiving more than 60% of the vote when the race was called by the Associated Press.
Haley was the only major GOP candidate that who signed up for the Nevada primary, which has no delegates at stake, over the state GOP-run caucus, which will be held Thursday and has 26 delegates up for grabs.
Facing virtually no competition, Haley only amassed 33.2% of the vote in a contest marked by low turnout.
Only 11,802 total ballots had been cast in person as of 2 p.m. local time, according to the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office.

You'd need a heart of stone not to laugh at this.

Joe Biden coasts to victory, Nikki Haley upended by ‘None of these candidates' in thinly contested Nevada primary
Coasting is about all he can do.

I have held the belief for many years that "None of the above" should be a candidate in all elections. Then, if "None of the above" wins, a new election must be held within a month in which all of the candidates who lost to "None of the above" would be ineligible and prohibited from running.

^ Agreed. Losing to "none of the above" should result in a lifetime ban from elective office.
Three reversed decisions should result in judges being cashiered.
Serving on a jury that wrongfully convicts should result in banishment from jury duty and ineligibility to be tried before a jury.
Prosecuting a wrongful conviction should get a prosecutor similarly banned.

My fave headline regarding Ms. Haley's showing:
[CNBC] Now explain why Trump is guilty of...something?
Neither President Joe Biden nor anyone else is expected to be criminally charged in an investigation into how classified documents ended up in locations associated with Biden, NBC News reported.
A senior law enforcement official told NBC a report on that probe by Department of Justice special counsel Robert Hur will be made public in the coming days.
Former President Donald Trump was indicted in 2022 on criminal charges related to retaining hundreds of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago Club after leaving the White House, and to his efforts to prevent government officials from recovering that material.

Now explain why Trump is guilty of...something?
Because he's not a member of the Inner Party and icky.

Classified document handling rules and criminal penalties are only for the "little people". Our elite leftist politicians and their protected servants are immune based on nothing but raw political power and their ability to destroy careers and lives of any who question their prerogatives. The farce of this Biden investigation outcome confirms it.

^ Yep But House GOP Conference Vice Chair Blake Moore brought the drama to an end by flipping his vote from “yea” to “nay”, drawing cheers from the Democratic side of the aisle, though the Utah Republican had made the switch to join the majority and offer a motion to reconsider, which has postponed until a future date

I am seriously disappointed by Tom McClintock.

McClintock must feel very safe in his congressional district but if he ever runs for statewide office in California I will be sure to vote against him. All this time I thought he was a conservative. Damn RINO, I think I'd just as soon vote for a Democrat.

I think there were more than for that are against us. McClintock has been bad for a while. McClintock is considered safe so the other trailers can stay under cover. It is the same 50 or so bozos who hung with Ryan and McCarthy.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
