Biden, Who Has Been on Two (2) Vacations Since the Maui Wildfires and Said "No Comment" When Asked About Them, Will Finally Tour Hawaii

And I'm sure he won't work in a Special Bonus Vacation while he's there.

Via Twitchy:

The leftwing propaganda media has previously been very, very interested when Republicans showed, in their opinion, insufficient concern about prior natural disasters:

Biden has said "no comment" and gone on two vacations since this. It's just in your face incredible.

But now, the demand for fucks greatly outpaces the media's allotment to give.

They're.... curious... as to why the Navy that's a short hop away hasn't offered any relief.

ALL the food they are getting are coming from locals.

Which makes me wonder, where's the Red Cross, as well? I saw lots of news that ONLY the Red Cross would be allowed in, but the locals say they have seen NOTHING from national level charities.

I don't think any of them expect the sailors to make the decision to head over on their own. It's a critique of the leaders, not "the Navy".

It's more a matter of blatantly obvious resources NOT being ordered to go help a humanitarian need when our navy has gone all over the world offering that exact aid to other countries. Apparently our citizens don't rate high enough to our leaders.

I feel this is heightened by my personal leanings towards State's Rights and away of any form authority coming out of DC. Of course, I also don't agree with the USA sending tax payer funded donations to foreign countries. I have no problem with volunteered assistance done on a private level. Places like Ukraine have only served to solidify my position on such patronizing re-gifting.

I'd be perfectly content if Joe Biden just said "Look, I'm not going to improve the situation by attending in person. I have competent staff whose job it is to handle crisis like this. I'd just be in the way, and I'm keeping on top of the matter."

Are we expecting Biden to be hunkered down in a situation room about this?

I think it's more of a story about how the media, once again for the zillionth time, has a double standard on acceptable behavior.

I should point out that the media's power in crafting narratives is so great now that Democrats shut down vote counting in six states to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall to barely give Biden a win.

Rebel News reporter Alexa Lavoie recently spoke with a Maui resident named Kapano in Lahaina, where wildfires have completely devastated the town. When the fires started to wreak havoc, Kapano put his boots on the ground, bringing together many people to start a community supply station. [more at the link...]

Especially given what happened in this fire. In all of the fires I've been through, only two (IIRC) were deadly, and the worst was Storm King down near CO Springs, which ate a *lot* of firefighters and resulted in major changes in how wildfire management and fighting works.

This was such a total disaster, so totally compounded by gross incompetence, that vain politicking is probably particularly stress-inducing and awful.

They're also stuck now. The press set the standard when they went after Bush 43 during Katrina. What was Bush going to do in New Orleans? What was the FedGov's legitimate role in the first place?

But the press saw it as an attack vector, they pursued it, they made it stick. Now those are the rules for everyone. "Major disaster" means "get the president there and foul everything up." They can't walk it back. The stupid attack on Bush 43 continues to fuck things up to this day.

We're not there yet, but it's likely to become a factor. Even if a state as bonkers as Hawaii, I suspect there are levels of failure that will engender significant popular demand for personnel changes. The new people will likely be no better, but I don't see how - even in a place as nutty as Hawaii - there are no consequences for something this bad.

265 Depending on ground operations, having a POTUS visit can be very disruptive and of little value as all they are going to do is offer speeches and "I really care" politicking. However, President Peters should have been on the TV talking to the people of Maui and the greater US reassuring that everything that could be done was and would be done.

FEMA is not a first responder. Just about every mistake that could have been made was made from city, county, and state Government. I watched a video clip of the Governor this morning and he couldn't even look at the camera squarely - he kept closing his eyes while speaking like a fourth grader trying to remember lines he learned for the school play. While he said that mistakes were made, he still blames climate change for this. POS.

325 Oprah launched the modern anti-vax movement. She brought that British fraud to the public that caused people to think vaccines cause autism.

And...you'll note the medical establishment's reaction to that hoax was years of careful investigation to see if there was a link. Compare that to the clot shot where there was no research and anyone noticing the correlation with excess deaths was cancelled.

One guy (literally, some random old guy in Lahaina, but that's ALL the sources we can get right now) said that the police literally blocked off front street and wouldn't let anyone onto the main road.

For reference, Front Street is the road next to the ocean with all the burned out cars on it in the ocean.

That would explain why so many cars were burned out there. (It's not the only explanation, but with all the government incompetence we know about, this is at least plausible.)

These types of fires (low structures, cars) do not incinerate bodies, so there will be an accurate count once they search everything.

"She said she saw police blocking roads while utility crews worked on downed lines.

Video Cassidy recorded and posted to Instagram appears to show her making a left turn into oncoming traffic, which was necessary because an entire lane of cars was at a complete standstill because of roadblocks as the fire barreled down the hill toward them, she said.

“When you have thousands of people in vehicles trying to flee, you have to figure something else out,” Cassidy said of the utility. “That is our lifeline, our escape route, and you cut us off from it? There was no other way out.”

In this case, you could say it was constructive arson. The hillsides had been intentionally planted with a non-native grass to help soil conservation. It would have been fine if it was cut and maintained, but no one in either the power utility or local government saw a reason not to just let it grow huge and dry out. Also, residents of Maui have complained about the poor condition of Maui's power lines for years, warning that they were vulnerable to high winds. Many suggested to the Power Co. that they cut the power while the winds were at their peak - they said "naaahhh." Now it could have been arson, but that entire landscape was one big fireworks warehouse once those winds began blowing.

A while back in the 70s/80s there was a fire chief that was an arsonist. He was first suspected when his route to a fireman conference had a few fires he would set an arranged matchbook that would smoulder. He wrote some books about an arsonist that matched some fires. When he was arrested wildfires in his areas dropped by some two thirds.

There is actually another road connecting east and west. It's REALLY scary if you meet another car on it, but you can go along the north side of the island, too. (And, with COMPETENT police, they'd make it one way to assist in evacuation, which, of course, never happened.)

No, its in Chavez Ravine which used to be its name. Hills around but its at the bottom.

I had fairly mild rain and no wind in my part of SoCal. The land ridges funneled the weather inland into areas that basically get no rain which even with a mild storm might be hard for them. And the dry creeks and such will run high or flood in places.

465 I read All Quiet on the Western Front recently. There were a number of great observations in it, but Sid reminds me of one.

Kids rebel and test adults and want freedom, but they trust adults to know what they're doing and to do what's right because the kids know they're still kids. When adults break that trust, even with the rebels that pretend they hate everyone and don't have relationships, it damages the bonds of society.

Kids rely on adults to be adults. It's important for the system to work that way.

470 That video I posted previously is of a state helicopter (Coast Guard?) dropping flames from a bucket over a forested area, then taking off. Could be a legit fire fighting function, like a back fire, but it sure looks fishy. Here it is again.

473 Probably the closest airport that could handle a 747.

Spokane, I think, and it's only 25 minutes from Coeur d'Alene.

474 I figured. It was a picture taken from the air. Drone or helicopter probably. It looked bad. Suspected it wasn't since I've read that stadium is on top of a big hill.

Stadiums need drainage because they are big bowls whereever.

In 1937 the Ohio River flooded and the tributary creeks backfilled and flooded Crosley field over the outfield wall. A trio of players rowed a boat over the wall and got some soundings over home plate. I forget how deep it was, some 20 feet?

I'm at a higher elevation now than I was in Ohio and Chicago and I'm maybe 20 minutes to the ocean over a small range. There's some hard walking to get to the top of my ridge to the next valley and they go inland from there.

If you are familiar with the Blue Ridge and lower parallel ridges on either side in the East, its a similar thing.

479 There have been wildfires set by underemployed seasonal firefighters in the Four Corners region and IIANM Alaska. Ginning up work. Probably elsewhere too. I'll see if I can find a citation.

It happens in Canada, too. Often the culprits are (eyeroll) "first nations".

Yeah. I'm sure they are all eager to read "Sid Has Two Daddies".

481 Bidens recent "vacations" are what normal Americans call emergency dementia treatment sessions ... he's getting treated while on "vacation" ... he's just not going to a hospital ... he is having the doctors come to him ...

482 I'm sorry but if you died in that fire with water literally a 2 minute walk away then maybe its for the best ...

485 The FBI is desperately researching to find the last time Trump visited Maui, and whether he may have said anything incendiary.

486 Having Biden tour Hawaii must be one of those blessings in disguise.

487 I'm making $90 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning 16,000 US dollars a month by working on the connection, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply.
