World War II Is Still Killing People In The Solomon Islands

As China and the U.S. jockey for control of the Pacific, little attention is being paid to the bombs that litter the island nation.

This is really poor form by the @StarAdvertiser and @dannakaso to go out of their way to avoid crediting a competitor. The report they cite is focused on 2021 and doesn't even mention Kahele, yet I doubt we'll see a correction.

Our oceans are in mortal danger from climate change, pollution, overfishing and trash. In our Pacific backyard we depend on our federal Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council to conserve our fisheries.

Go through their climate change plans. Do an in-depth analysis of violations of the emoluments clause. A new fish taco recipe. I don’t care. Just not this.

Joe Biden is “sleepy,” Bernie Sanders is “crazy” and Elizabeth Warren is “angry.” Since January, Trump has attacked several of the Democrats competing for his job. Here are the candidates the president has insulted so far. nyti.ms/2I0nBwD

Talk about a blast from the past. In 2015, I requested budget docs from @HonoluluGov. City officials didn't turn them over so @CivilBeat sued. The Hawaii Supreme Court just ruled in our favor courts.state.hi.us/wp-conten… – at Washington, DC

At Hopfinger v Rogoff: When Tony told Alice, "Fuck you. I'll see you in court," Alice took it -- and the fact that he stopped working -- as the end of his employment with the Dispatch News. But because Alice doesn't do details, the company kept paying him for months afterward.

Happy Friday, I’m picking up $60 worth of video records from MCSO of a naked woman stealing their Sherrif’s vehicle and taking it on a 70-mike high speed chase. Classic “only in Arizona” story
