Kim Coco Iwamoto will be Hawaii’s first trans lawmaker after beating the House speaker House Speaker Scott Saiki, a Democrat, told reporters on Wednesday this differed from recent past attempts to address the state's housing shortage. Those primarily involved subsidies for affordable housing construction. “We’re seeing in other states, and even in other countries, that governments are looking at zoning as one of the barriers to housing development,” Saiki said. “And it was time for Hawaii to take a look at that as well.” (MSN 8/24/24) READ MORE>>>>> |

Z-NOTE: January 31, 2024:
Got problems with a natural disaster? Blame Biden. Problem solved.?
Right wing activist Nick Sortor tweeted this yesterday:
I’ve been on the ground here on Maui speaking with countless residents, and they’re FED UP with Biden and his lack of support
The support for Donald Trump in Hawaii is at an ALL TIME HIGH, and a visit from him could change the entire trajectory of the relief effort and FORCE Biden to get it together.
What Nick Sortor is doing is Maganazi propaganda by going to places with problems.....magnifying them and then manufacturing rage...then blaming it all on the Biden administration. It's Maganazi bait and switch propaganda (Sorry for your pain; but this wouldnt have happened if Trump was here #doh).
Maganazi GOP has already made it clear that they want to blame everything on Biden and Democrats so they will look better in November 2024. It is imperative that all the Maganazi lies and propaganda be refuted. If Maganazis win in November America as we know it ends.
The Maganazis and Maganazi Evangelicals DO NOT support the Constitution of the USA and are busy rewriting history. (like pretending Jan 6 wasn't pro-Maganazi or inspired by their Maganazi God (ie, Donald Trump).
The battle also has to go beyond social media. Nick Sortor saying "support for Donald Trump in Hawaii is at an ALL TIME HIGH" is not true...but more likely high with the people he can manipulate and preach his false narrative to. Going after victims of a disaster is the lowest of propaganda styles but Maganazis have very little, if any, conscience left and is now a ploy for the Maganazi regime.
Most importantly: Donald "Adolph" Trump approves their message.
And BTW, Nick Sortor is vacation in Hawaii while pretending he is "uncovering" damages caused by the Biden administrations negligence.
