CAUGHT IN THE ACT: Zero-Integrity Hawaii GOP Chair’s Rigged Auction and Illegal Fundraising Scandals Now Under Investigation
Milwaukee, Wisconsin – Who wouldn’t want to go to next week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee and experience Donald Trump and his running mate getting nominated while having the weeklong opportunity to mingle with thousands of GOP VIPs galore at this exclusive and historic, invitation-only extravaganza? Well, most Republicans across the state and the country would LOVE to have the opportunity to attend. If you’re not a delegate or alternate to the 2024 RNC convention, then guest passes are EXTREMELY hard to come by.
Fortunately, the Hawaii GOP’s state chair Tamara McKay, national committeeman Gene Ward and national committeewoman Laura Nakanelua each have guest passes known as “golden tickets”. Four passes each, for a total of twelve. Recently, they each agreed to put one of their passes up for an online auction open to party members across the state as a fundraiser for the state party and a way to reward the generosity of the winning bidders. But things quickly fell apart when state chair Tamara McKay decided to rig the auction to such an extreme that two of her best pals were the ONLY bidders and the ONLY winners in the rigged auction, which Ward and Nakanelua promptly disavowed and quickly turned their attention to stopping the ‘winners’ from exploiting Tamara’s fraud.
Fast forward to today: Tamara and her braindead defenders on the Executive Committee of the state GOP have authorized hiring a mainland law firm to sue anybody who stands in the way of the ‘winners’ of the rigged auction from attending the RNC convention, even though top Hawaii GOP leaders know that Tamara massively stacked the odds in favor of her two friends winning cheaply while making it impossible for party members across the state to have any chance of participating at all. The cease and desist letter from HRP’s obviously bamboozled attorney — Mark Ziebold of the Ziebold Law Group located in Irvine, California — shows that Mr. Ziebold has been misled by Tamara McKay about the legitimacy of the auction in question and further shows that Ziebold is under the bogus impression that a rigged auction is “legal and binding”. Further, attorney Ziebold appears to be engaging in lawfare on behalf of Tamara and her enablers to cover up extremely bad behavior and to help his client’s cronies to retain their ill-gotten gains from the rigged auction. Such weaponization of civil litigation is not only unconscionable, but probably a serious violation of Mr. Ziebold’s ethics which could lead to the loss of his law license.
There are an infinite number of reasons for Tamara McKay and her enablers at the Hawaii GOP to resign in disgrace. This scandal is just another one of those undeniable reasons. For several heated weeks now, the Hawaii Republican Party’s (HRP) leadership has been embroiled in turmoil over the outcome of its own highly illegitimate and arguably rigged online auction of extremely valuable guest passes to the 2024 Republican National Convention being staged in Milwaukee in a couple of weeks. Endless meetings, emails, Zoom video conferences, text messages and phone calls about the controversial outcome of HRP State Chair McKay’s rigged auction have been tying up valuable time this election year which otherwise would normally be spent by any struggling political party like the Hawaii GOP trying to convince island voters to vote differently. The conflict over the fake outcome of the rigged auction in question has reached a boiling point where threats of lawsuits and issuances of cease and desist letters being sent between state party leaders is where things stand right now at the homeless, virtual, online-only state party without a headquarters or any semblance of a statewide or even targeted campaign to unseat Democrats. In other words, the fight over perks distributed via this indefensible scam rages while the fight over Hawaii’s future is on the back burner at HRP.
Here’s what happened. As a state chair with arguably the poorest character in the entire GOP, McKay is being provided with several guest passes for the RNC’s upcoming national convention, where Donald Trump is expected to become the nominee of the party. Not unlike many political wheeler dealers, McKay is quick to utilize party resources to reward her friends and supporters with insider perks just like her corrupt predecessors. She decided to make one of her passes (along with one each from national committeewoman Laura Nakanelua and outgoing national committeeman Gene Ward) available for purchase in a party-sponsored online auction, ostensibly as a ‘fundraiser’ for the now homeless and aimless Hawaii GOP.
While the Hawaii GOP could have realized really big bucks for its coffers by advertising a legitimate online auction of these highly coveted guest passes on the state party’s social media platforms – to HRP’s 16,000 followers on Facebook, its 7,000 followers on Twitter, et al – as well as e-mailing HRP’s 15,000 party members, Tamara McKay decided to only share this auction with a handpicked micro-sized list of a reported two dozen people, including the leaders of Surfing 4 Truth (social media influencers) Andy Crossland and Lynn Surayan) who have been openly operating as online cheerleading shills for McKay’s troubled tenure as state chair for at least a year now.
In order to hide her sleight of hand, McKay set up an unadvertised online auction on Zeffy so that her pals could easily get these passes for a fraction of the market value of these highly coveted credentials.
And, guess what, McKay’s friends won! And, lo and behold, Tamara’s cronies were the only bidders. It came as no surprise that Crossland and Surayan “won” those highly coveted guest passes in a rigged auction which was disguised as a party fundraiser. In no time at all, Tamara’s cheerleaders wasted no time crowing all over social media about what they (and Tamara) did. According to Surfing 4 Truth, they “were welcomed personally by the Hawaii Republic (sic) Party State Chair to attend the RNC 2024 in Milwaukee!!!!” “Surfing4Truth WON the Hawaii Republican Party auction for Golden tickets.” WELL, OF COURSE THEY DID. They endorsed and supported Tamara McKay for state chair of HRP while providing her with cover for her failed leadership through this very day. Of course they won!! That’s why nobody else was able to bid in the rigged auction.
It was a phony auction designed to cheaply transfer state chair Tamara McKay’s guest passes to the “winners” who were the only bidders. In fact, current HRP national committeeman Gene Ward asserts that, “there was not really an authentic ‘auction’ that took place in the Hawaii Republican Party for any RNC Convention Guest Tickets, but was more so conducted as a ‘targeted opportunity’ for a few select individuals.” That’s a nice way of confirming that the auction was rigged.
Arguably McKay’s biggest cheerleaders have been local social media influencer couple Andy Crossland and Lynn Surayan of “Surfing 4 Truth”, who have been boosting Tamara McKay’s tenure as state chair for nearly a year now, on the heels of cheering on a wifebeater for governor, blaming rigged elections in Hawaii for GOP losses, and actively helping a wacky conspiracy theorist who blames government space lasers for Lahaina’s destruction to become HRP’s new national committeeman just a few weeks ago. According to Tamara McKay in her party newsletter congratulating the auction ‘winners’, Crossland and Surayan “are excited to experience Milwaukee and all that the convention has to offer.” Also, McKay has been working with Trump Hawaii delegation chair Shirlene Ostrov to make sure her own “name has been included on the hotel room with Lynn and Andy Crossland.”
While Democrats are known to rig elections, the RINOs at HRP rig auctions to benefit themselves and exploit the perks of running the state party. So, it’s no wonder that intense criticism of the McKay swindle to benefit Surfing4Truth has come from far and wide inside HRP. The overwhelming majority of the 30+ members of the official Hawaii Trump delegation to the RNC national convention voted AGAINST allowing Crossland and Surayan to attend using the guest passes in question. Current national committeeman Gene Ward and national committeewoman Laura Nakanelua also expressed their vehement opposition to allowing Crossland and Surayan (pictured below with Tamara McKay) to attend the convention with these controversially ‘won’ guest passes.
According to the Hawaii Trump delegation to the RNC convention, “The other two ‘winners’ of the auction were overwhelmingly voted down (84% disapproving Andy Crossland as a guest, and 81% disapproving Lynn Surayan as a guest) . . . the boyfriend-girlfriend team together leads Surfing4Truth.” As a result, the hotel rooms reserved by the RNC for official guests have been canceled for Crossland and Surayan. And it is increasingly unlikely that the couple will be given their passes should they spend the money to travel to Milwaukee. Hence, the threats of legal action and the ‘cease and desist’ communications by Tamara and the misguided, clueless HRP attorney, despite the obvious illegitimacy of her rigged auction and the dubious “winners” of that scam.
Tamara’s own description on the Zeffy auction site belies her seriousness about raising funds for the party and exposes her real goal of rewarding her friends: “This brief auction is for the opportunity to obtain a highly coveted ticket into the 2024 Republican Convention in Milwaukee.” Highly coveted is an extremely accurate description. Each convention guest pass could have brought in several thousand dollars, if fundraising was the actual goal. But it appears the ACTUAL goal was to merely obtain a fraction of the worth of these passes in order for corrupt state chair Tamara McKay to quietly reward her biggest cronies on social media by handing them a rigged auction disguised as a fundraiser. Making matters worse, the party’s governing Executive Committee and State Committee of top GOP officers went along with this sham and are backing the rigged auction done in the party’s name and the rigged outcome.
In an email dated 12 June 2024 to McKay, Ward, and Nakanelua, renowned money launderer and former HRP state chair “Big Shirl” Ostrov of the Hawaii Trump campaign was less than subtle in describing Tamara McKay’s sham ‘auction’: “The other three guests were objected to as “winners” of a self-admitted mishandled “Golden Ticket” online auction to the party with some of the RNC’s 12 bonus tickets, afforded to the three of you. While billed as a party-wide opportunity, it appeared to only reach a targeted audience. For some reason, the three “winners” of the Golden Ticket auction were the ONLY BIDDERS. The three tickets only raised a total $600 in what would otherwise have been an amazing fundraising opportunity if handled properly.”
That’s right, the auction was designed for a VERY targeted audience, and therefore was a NON-amazing fundraising opportunity since there was no competition between the ‘winners’ and the tens of thousands of Republicans in Hawaii who were omitted from the chance to win. Tamara McKay’s cronies at Surfing4Truth who “won” the guest passes were “the only bidders” from the completely fake, rigged, not-at-all ‘party-wide’ auction . . . a corrupt outcome which is PERFECTLY FINE with Tamara McKay and virtually the entire leadership of the Hawaii Republican Party, along with its clueless attorney. With scammers like McKay, Crossland and Surayan, WHY would Hawaii voters want to bother replacing corrupt Democrats in power with equally corrupt Republicans?
McKay’s use of a bogus “auction” to reward her friends and intentionally defraud HRP of potentially thousands of dollars in revenue is another matter which is under investigation. As mentioned above, guest passes to the upcoming Republican National Convention were ‘auctioned’ by state chair McKay as a purported fundraiser for the state party. But instead of making that auction available to thousands of party members across the state or even millions of party members across the country, McKay only made that auction of convention passes exclusively accessible to the eventual ‘winners’ of the auction and a tiny handful of others in McKay’s inner circle who didn’t even bother to place bids, thereby guaranteeing that McKay’s buddies would be most likely to ‘win’ these guest passes at the lowest imaginable price. In addition, the matter of selling tickets for admission to a dated political event – even “golden tickets” – requires preregistration of such ticket sales with the State Campaign Spending Commission. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN.
Joining the chorus of support for letting Crossland and Surayan hang onto their ill-gotten ‘winnings’ from the rigged auction is their fellow cheerleader for Crooked Tamara McKay, America-hater and Hawaii statehood opponent Andrew Aker of “Maui Freedom TV”, who appears to believe that there’s nothing wrong with a rigged auction as long as his friends get to keep the spoils and are able to attend the RNC convention next week. Despite being caught in the middle of this highly corrupt transaction, Aker laughably describes Crossland and Surayan as ‘corruption fighters’. Even more laughably, in the midst of McKay’s auction rigging scandal, Aker sincerely proclaims that “Real American Patriot Tamara McKay and others are working hard to drain the swamp in HI Republican Party!” Yeah, sure she is. The swamp is now deeper than ever, with multiple RINO factions trying to out-sleaze each other.
The reality is that HRP is as sleazy as ever. Tamara McKay is as slimy and corrupt (and incompetent) as Lynn Finnegan or Diamond Garcia or “Big Shirl” Ostrov or Fritz Rohlfing or Beth Fukumoto. Hawaii voters might not be surprised to learn that the RINOs who control the Hawaii GOP are just as capable of being corrupt as the governing Democrats. But such lawbreaking certainly won’t help the local Republican Party impress voters between now and the General Election just a few months from now. When our party attacks Democrats for rigging elections, shameless HRP leaders think nothing of rigging an auction to divide the spoils and the perks with cronies. Sounds just like how Josh Green runs state government.
The now persistent turmoil in the ranks of the Hawaii GOP leadership has risen to the level of a civil war over state chair Tamara McKay’s questionable use of a highly manipulated online auction to sell guest passes to the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee to her closest associates. The big question is whether the state party was defrauded by McKay out of thousands of potential dollars so she could ensure that her friends would ‘win’ the rigged auction. The weeks of resulting internal battles have largely been fixated on Surfing4Truth, the unlikely ‘winners’ of the auction and the cheap price they paid. But the state attorney general now has the evidence of the unregistered fundraiser and the alleged defrauding of HRP. And the party’s legal problems don’t end there. Those problems are just starting to get worse. Not to mention what Donald Trump and the RNC would think of this glaring corruption problem involving the integrity-challenged HRP and the cheating state chair’s cronies Surayan and Crossland at ‘Surfing 4 Truth’ wandering around the national convention with tainted guest passes.
Even before breaking this news story, HIRA News has already heard from dozens of party members who are upset about Crooked Tamara’s rigged auction and her zero-integrity “winners” from Surfing4Truth who have no shame in knowing they were the only bidders in a rigged auction. After all, Tamara, the HRP leadership, and the ‘winners’ of the ill-gotten gains – McKay’s buddies Andy Crossland and Lynn Surayan – KNOW that the outcome was a total scam and outright fraud. Even the dumbest lawyer in California should understand that to knowingly deprive party members from being able to bid or even have access to the online auction while skewing and rigging that auction to steer the guess passes to McKay’s buddies is the very definition of unfair, misleading and deceptive practice. Just imagine the potential for lawsuits against HRP by party members from Hilo to Hanalei who wanted to participate in the auction yet who were deliberately prevented from participating while top party officers who knowingly facilitated a fraudulent transaction in the guise of a party auction; whereby the obvious fraud and the party’s obvious financial loss (due to rigging and zero competition in the auction) have been pointed out clearly by the Hawaii Trump campaign. Could a class action lawsuit and prosecution for fraud be far behind? To date, Tamara McKay and her cronies (and her clueless lawyer) are defending the indefensible situation whereby secret, exclusive access to the online auction site was provided ONLY to the ‘winners’ and a handful of others, despite having tens of thousands of followers on social media and nearly that many e-mail addresses of party members whom Tamara refused to allow to participate, even though this was supposed to be a party-wide auction. This crooked arrangement is a very strange hill for the above-named corruptniks to want to die on. No wonder HRP has hired a mainland lawyer to help the fake winners of the rigged auction retain the spoils of this scam by attempting to intimidate those who complain. Like her crooked predecessors as state chair, Tamara McKay is resorting to a classic HRP waste of donor monies while she continues to fritter away the few precious weeks remaining before the General Election. Auwe!
Stay tuned: If the two fake winners from the rigged auction STILL attend next week’s RNC convention as guests of Tamara McKay, then you’ll instantly know HRP is too crooked to take on the Democrats in 2024. If REAL conservatives are in charge of the Hawaii GOP, then the rigged nature of the contest should instantly invalidate the outcome. But will it? Probably not. We’ll see . . .
EVEN MORE ILLEGAL HRP FUNDRAISING EVENTS UNDER INVESTIGATION
Today, HIRA News can confirm that the Hawaii Republican Party (HRP) is also under criminal investigation by Hawaii’s attorney general Anne Lopez and other government law enforcement agencies for organizing a series of multiple illegal fundraising events over the past few weeks resulting from the state party failing to register a “Notice of Intent to Hold a Fundraiser” for multiple fundraisers with the State Campaign Spending Commission (CSC) as required by §11-342 of Hawaii Revised Statutes.
This investigation comes on the heels of the bribery scandal at the Hawaii State Capitol which ended the political careers of state senate Majority Leader J. Kalani English and former state Rep. Ty Cullen – who admitted in court that they took bribes from Milton Choy of H2O Water Systems to steer legislation related to cesspools – changes were made to state campaign finance law.
One of these changes was requiring ALL fundraisers, no matter the ticket price, to be pre-registered with the CSC so that the public would know about the fundraising activity through legally mandated transparency. No more secret fundraising events could fly below the radar. But it appears that Team Tamara doesn’t care about obeying the law.
So much for legally-mandated transparency. Multiple fundraising events have been organized by HRP, including several held in conjunction with the party’s two-day state convention held in Mililani last month on May 4th and 5th. As HRP’s website clearly shows, there were three fundraisers which charged $25 per person per event to attend.
According to the CSC website, HRP failed to give notice of any fundraisers held in May in advance of (or even since) these three party fundraisers – a cocktail party, a breakfast event with Gene Ward and a breakfast event with Elijah Piereck – were advertised and held.
However, as can be clearly seen, party fundraising events held before and since the state convention do appear on the CSC website; clearly indicating that party leaders occasionally obey the law and actually know how to be legally compliant if they wish to.
The required form to be completed and filed with CSC in advance of a fundraiser, no matter the ticket price, can be viewed HERE. There’s simply no mistaking the requirement for full disclosure ahead of time, as it plainly reads: “Under Hawaii Revised Statutes §11-342, no fundraiser shall be held unless a notice of intent to hold the fundraiser is filed with the Campaign Spending Commission (“Commission”) for any function held for the benefit of a candidate, candidate committee, or noncandidate committee that is intended or designed, directly or indirectly, to raise contributions for which any price is charged or any contribution is suggested for attending the function. The person in charge of the fundraiser shall file the notice with the Commission prior to the fundraiser.”
HIRA News reached out to HRP state treasurer Mike Jauch for comment. But Jauch, who goes by the social media username @bullwhip1954, blocked HIRA News from communicating with him on Twitter and elsewhere immediately after he and McKay were caught by HIRA News holding a private teleconference with anti-American activists who currently hold leadership positions throughout the Hawaii GOP and intend to lead a fight to have Hawaii secede from the United States of America and become an independent third world banana republic operating under a monarchy. Yes, you read that correctly.
HIRA News also reached out to HRP state chair Tamara McKay for comment. But McKay, who operates on social media as “Redtime Stories”, blocked HIRA News after being called out for proudly featuring the anti-American ‘sovereignty flag’ used widely by America haters in Hawaii as part of the Maui GOP’s July 4th float, which McKay proudly posted on her Facebook page. Yes, you read that correctly.
Unlike HIRA News, investigators and prosecutors from the Hawaii AG’s office won’t have to worry about being blocked by either Jauch or McKay, as the AG has subpoena power to obtain the same damning records now in the possession of HIRA News. In time, the attorney general’s investigation should be able to get to the bottom of the refusal by both McKay and Jauch to register all of these illegal party fundraisers with the CSC. Are they knowingly and intentionally breaking the law? Or are they simply clueless about how to do their jobs? HIRA News awaits news of the seemingly inevitable prosecution.
RECENT FINES FOR IDENTICAL LAWBREAKING TELL THE STORY: It should be noted that corrupt city councilwoman Andria Tupola (the state’s biggest ever loser as the GOP’s gubernatorial candidate in 2018) was fined $1,150 for merely holding a single one of her own secret and unregistered fundraising events where she ostensibly cashed in by selling out to Hawaii’s greedy pro-rail industry in a seemingly apparent pay-to-play scheme where she shook down Big Rail for campaign money in exchange for her vote to allow Honolulu taxpayers to go into even more debt to pay for the boondoggle. Tupola held fundraisers right before and right after the big vote at city hall which indebted Oahu taxpayers. No local media ever reported the fine or the corruption. But Tupola was forced to admit to the fine in her campaign finance report on the CSC website.
Sadly, HRP is run by corrupt and incompetent RINOs, as always. They wear Trump hats and t-shirts to disguise their lack of experience and their Democrat-like ways. But don’t be fooled. 2024 is shaping up to be yet another political disaster at the hands of these braindead signwavers who’ve never led a winning campaign in their lives. Democrats will sleep very well at night. And the State Elections Office has confirmed to HIRA News that there are no plans to postpone the General Election because HRP’s leadership team doesn’t have its act together because its so busy distributing the perks of office to cronies that party leaders don’t have time or energy to mount a winning campaign against the party of Josh Green and Mazie Hirono. Auwe!

TROUBLE IN THE PACIFIC: CCP Controlled Red China Poses Serious Threat to Hawaii and 49 Fellow States
Remember Joe Biden? How about Cackling Kamala, seen here saving Sleepy Joe from falling off a stage several months ago? Sadly, Sleepy Joe is still our nation’s “commander in chief” for the next two months. Thankfully, the average voter saw through the tragic charade of Biden-Harris ‘leadership’. Yet, even while Democrats tried to convince us that ‘health care for women’ and ‘gender affirming care’ for confused children and ‘protecting democracy’ were the only issues that really mattered in 2024, a majority of our fellow citizens opened their eyes and saw the real world for what it is: A dangerous place full of very real threats. Voters knew that the greatest nation could no longer afford to continue with wimpy leaders in the White House. Certainly not with nations like China on the march to harm the United States of America economically and, if necessary, militarily.
As the doddering, dementia-addled President Biden prepared for his final meeting with Chinese President and strongman dictator Xi Jinping this week in Lima, Peru, during this weekend’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, concerns about China’s influence and espionage activities in the United States have reached alarming levels – alarming if you’ve been paying attention. Americans have seen for themselves that the Biden administration’s approach to China has misprioritized diplomatic engagement and weak political posturing over any determination to truly confront key national security threats. Let’s hope that voters have helped change course in time to prevent the worst from happening, since there’s much to worry about.
Recent reports from the House Committee on Homeland Security reveal a disturbing increase in Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-related espionage cases under the Biden-Harris administration. From February 2021 to August 2024, over 55 CCP-related espionage cases were recorded across 20 states, involving the transmission of sensitive military information, theft of trade secrets, and transnational repression schemes.
Adding to these concerns, China has even made alarming statements regarding Hawaii. In 2015, Chinese military officials suggested arming Hawaii’s anti-statehood, pro-Kingdom separatists in retaliation for U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. This threat was reiterated in subsequent years. In case you didn’t know, anti-American sovereignty separatists (AASS for short) have an army already, known as “Occupied Forces Hawaii Army”, whose members, according to Hawaii News Now and other sources, “have to renounce their ties to the American government.” Just for starters, imagine domestic terrorism in the islands stemming from these America-hating AASS’s being in possession of dangerous Chinese arms? If you consider how China has been able to smuggle endless amounts of explosives to Hawaii each year for decades right under the nose of unionized State of Hawaii bureaucrats in the form of illegal fireworks, then you can easily understand the real risk here. [On a side note, violent gun crime on the Waianae Coast is noticeably on the rise, as evidenced by breathless news stories over the past few months alone You’ll find MANY members of the OFH Army living from Kapolei and Nanakuli out to Waianae, Maili and Makaha.]
China is threatening to challenge America by making legal claims on The State Of Hawaii as China’s territory.
A direct affront to U.S. sovereignty and a worrying signal of how far China is willing to go to destabilize American unity. Hawaii’s strategic importance as a Pacific military base means that threats against our security in the islands could impact the entire nation, underscoring the importance of an assertive American response. The OFH Army is committed to illegal strategies while pursuing challenges to the ownership of land in Hawaii.
Remember the Spy Balloons?
The controversial Chinese spy balloon incident in early 2023 further highlighted the Biden-Harris administration’s perceived weakness in addressing Chinese incursions. Despite the balloon traversing sensitive U.S. military sites – waiting for the spy balloon to completely travel coast to coast, from Alaska to South Carolina – the administration’s delayed response drew sharp and well-deserved criticism. That’s a perfect example of the current federal response to espionage by China.
The Confucius Institutes, which were previously scrutinized by the Trump administration due to their ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), continue to be a source of concern on American campuses as China exercised ‘soft power’. In August 2020, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo designated the Confucius Institute U.S. Center as an entity advancing “Beijing’s global propaganda and malign influence campaign on U.S. campuses and K-12 classrooms.” Pompeo stated that these institutes were part of a broader espionage effort and took steps to ensure their removal from the U.S, citing them as espionage organizations.’
These are the same CCP espionage and propaganda organizations whose operatives progressive politicians such as ‘Republican’ Governor Linda Lingle and UH Manoa executives happily welcomed at the University of Hawaii – a place where positive public relations about China were clearly intended to counter news accounts and critics of anti-Western CCP policies.
Since 2013, more than 50 universities have closed down these ‘institutes’, including the one stupidly championed by Lingle and other RINOs, as well as UH president David Lassner who would often kick off institute events. These institutes represent a significant security risk, operating as a foothold for CCP influence in America. Notwithstanding the danger, the University of Hawaii simply rebranded its Confucius Institute as the “Center for Chinese Studies”. Don’t be fooled, as UH leaders always considered these entities to be 100% connected, as a UH press release made abundantly clear: “The UH Mānoa Confucius Institute was established in November 2006 in collaboration with the elite Beijing Foreign Studies University. It is part of UH Mānoa’s Center for Chinese Studies, which offers more than 150 courses on China.” Again, it is part of UH’s Center for Chinese Studies. A distinction without a difference.
Many universities hosting Confucius Institutes continue to receive federal funding despite calls for accountability and transparency regarding foreign influence on campuses. There are growing demands for these institutions to return federal funds and for those involved in facilitating these programs to face prosecution. Despite these warnings, these institutes represent a significant security risk. Sadly, many will simply follow UH’s lead by subversively rebranding the CCP propaganda initiative as their own. As they say in China, 谢谢美利坚合众国 or Xièxiè měilìjiān hézhòngguó. “Thank you, America”.
The End of the ‘China Initiative’:
A Controversial Decision
In 2022, the Biden administration ended the China Initiative, a Trump-era program dedicated to countering Chinese espionage in the United States. The closure of this initiative, justified with predictably ‘woke’ Democrat logic that prosecuting spies was somehow racist, has fueled criticism that the administration is prioritizing diplomacy over addressing critical national security threats. Without a dedicated counter-espionage program, many fear that Chinese intelligence efforts will go unchecked, leaving American companies, universities, and military interests vulnerable. By the time we find out, it will be too late.
Recent Espionage Cases Linked to Hawaii:
- Alexander Yuk Ching Ma: A former CIA officer and FBI contract linguist based in Honolulu, Ma was arrested and charged with spying for China. He pled guilty to conspiracy charges related to providing classified information to Chinese intelligence officers. Ma was sentenced to 10 years in prison after admitting his role in passing sensitive information about CIA operations and personnel.
- Linda Sun Case: While primarily based in New York, Linda Sun’s alleged espionage activities included connections to Hawaii through real estate purchases funded by kickbacks from Beijing. Sun was accused of using her position in New York state government to assist Chinese officials covertly.
Shop (for Chinese goods) Till You Drop
American shoppers, including consumers in the Aloha State, appear mostly unconcerned that constantly spending their take home pay on Chinese goods through retailers like Amazon, Temu, Shein, Walmart and Ali Express are funding the CCP’s insidious initiatives against the USA and the CCP’s ever-growing war machine. The elite establishment’s fear of taking on China – the fear and the establishment which Trump clearly campaigned against – has prevented our government from warning and educating our fellow citizens that there will come a day when we regret putting American manufacturing out of business in order to buy cheap Chinese goods so we can “live large”. Unfortunately, that ‘day’ probably won’t come until something really bad happens. Losing U.S. manufacturing jobs is tragic. Having a nearly $300 billion trade deficit with China is likewise tragic. So, it will probably take something even more tragic to spur change. Yes, even more tragic than unleashing COVID-19 on the world from a lab in Wuhan. Something more deadly which comes directly and undeniably from the CCP armed forces. Some might describe America’s (and Hawaii’s) current economic relationship as China ‘selling us the very rope they will hang us with’; especially if we truly support freedom for the countries surrounding China, not to mention our own freedom.
General Milley’s Controversial China influence.
General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has faced significant backlash for his communications with China during the final months of the first Trump administration. Reports revealed that Milley assured his CCP counterpart, General Li Zuocheng, that the United States would not launch an attack against China. This action has been characterized by President Donald Trump and others as treasonous, raising questions about Milley’s adherence to military protocol and civilian control of the military. Trump and several lawmakers have called for accountability regarding Milley’s actions, arguing that they undermine national security and set a dangerous precedent. Was Milley prosecuted or punished for his treasonous behavior? Of course not. And the CCP couldn’t be happier that America’s generals are allowed to cozy up to China when the chips are down.
Concerns Over Biden’s Intentions
As President Biden meets with Xi Jinping this weekend for the APEC 2024 Summit, most American citizens are sure to be concerned that Kamala’s boss might adopt a conciliatory approach similar to General Milley’s allegiance to China during his controversial calls with China. They worry that Biden could prioritize CCP engagement at the expense of U.S. interests, potentially compromising on critical issues like trade imbalances, human rights, and regional security. China has shown increasing aggression in encounters, particularly in the South China Sea and near Taiwan
There have been incidents of Chinese nationals acquiring land adjacent to U.S. military bases across the country (including Hawaii) and incidents of unauthorized entry into restricted areas. Furthermore, Chinese technical collection efforts, including spy balloons and satellite surveillance, have targeted Hawaii. Given these circumstances, China has clearly acted in bad faith. Prioritizing diplomacy with a hostile country that has demonstrated its intentions to harm America is unacceptable. The actions of China pose significant threats to Hawaii’s sovereignty and American interests more broadly. As Saturday November, 16, 2024 nears Americans prepare for Biden to meet Xi, there is growing apprehension that similar backdoor assurances could be made to China, possibly without the knowledge of key U.S. leaders or even the incoming Trump administration. Given China’s unrelenting espionage and influence efforts, Americans are rightfully wary of any perceived concessions or covert agreements that could undermine U.S. security.
Fortunately, the incoming Trump administration is expected to take a more aggressive approach to China, even as the inherited Biden bureaucracy works to dull any Team Trump reforms. As the U.S. prepares for this transition, many are calling for a tougher stance on China and concrete actions to address these growing national security concerns and aggression towards American citizens.
Trump has previously demonstrated a firmer stance on China’s influence. The Trump America First initiative is expected to take immediate action, to include the permanent closure of all Confucius Institutes in the United States, prosecuting those involved in espionage, and drawing a hard line that underscores American sovereignty and support for our allies.
HIRA NEWS Our Conclusion
In this new era of geopolitical competition, the stakes have never been higher for the U.S. to defend its sovereignty. China’s multi-pronged efforts to undermine American institutions – from espionage to threats against the state of Hawaii and influence in U.S. universities — demand a unified and decisive response. As citizens, we must remain vigilant and demand accountability, ensuring that our leaders prioritize America First interests and refuse any further encroachments by the CCP on our values, our security, and our future. Hawaii is in China’s sights, just as much as our sister states. Our island population has proven to be easily manipulated with appeals to multiculturalism by our lamestream news media and by the puppet politicians and special interest groups who resist reforms to the status quo. If the 2024 election showed us anything, the vast majority of voters reject the status quo. Finally pushing back against the CCP’s ambitious and anti-USA agenda constitutes a real rejection of what the elites have allowed to fester and threaten all of us for too damn long.

HAWAII GOP ANTISEMITISM SCANDAL: State Chair McKay Casually Allows Jew Hate to Flourish on Eve of Election 2024
Lahaina, Maui – So many of you have written HIRA News asking for a follow-up story on the exploding Hawaii GOP Anti-Semitism Scandal. Others have written and told us to shut up and to stop exposing the nutjobs in the leadership of the Hawaii Republican Party. Let’s just say that the misguided party’s defenders of anti-Semitism – including nutjobs, crazies, closet Democrats, liberals, RINOs and Jew haters – are about to be very disappointed.
Here’s the rest of the story . . .
Since HIRA News exclusively broke the news of this scandal in the ranks of the Hawaii GOP’s leadership, state GOP chair Tamara McKay has stubbornly REFUSED to call for the resignation of her junior officer, and refused to rush this matter onto the agenda of the party’s governing State Committee. Instead, McKay has casually punted the ball down the field while officially declaring, “This matter is a county matter”. This comes after nearly every single remaining officer in the Hawaii GOP refused to call for McKay’s Maui GOP chair Tammy Ash Perkins to step down . . . even after Perkins doubled down on her apparent hatred of Israel and Jews just days before Hawaii’s 2024 General Election.
In other words, Tamara McKay doesn’t care about antisemitism in her own party enough to root it out from right under her nose. Meanwhile, as you may have heard through the grapevine, McKay has presided over numerous official party meetings in recent weeks because various party members hurt her feelings or had the nerve to disagree with her or her friends; even while the most basic party functions such as communications, coalition building, voter persuasion, get out the vote (GOTV) and so much more are NOT BEING DONE AT ALL It shows you what Ms. McKay deems important. Public Jew bashing by top GOP officers in their official capacity is NOTHING to deal with immediately. It can wait. Others can worry about it if they want to. But not Tamara. She is only concerned about dealing with those whom she is upset with for personal reasons.
MAUI GOP OFFICERS DROP THE BALL: In addition, following the original HIRA News story, the Maui GOP county committee dug in and refused to permanently dump their inept county chair Perkins despite her abuse of office and her virulent anti-Israel messaging which Perkins boasts she was “glad” about. No wonder the neighbor islands don’t have a single elected Republican. Not a one. In the Maui GOP of Tamara McKay (of which she was chair before becoming statewide GOP chair), bashing Jews and bashing Israel using party resources is considered “manini” or minor.
Interestingly, a woman named Jennifer Hunt (pictured here) is listed simultaneously on the websites for both the Hawaii GOP and the Maui GOP as the vice chair of communications for BOTH the state party AND the Maui county party. That means state GOP chair Tamara McKay, for whom Ms. Hunt works, is partly-responsible (along with Ms. Hunt and obviously Ms. Perkins) for putting the Hawaii GOP in the camp of Jew haters. WHY on Earth would any non-insane political ‘communications’ honcho want to spread hatred about Jews ever, let alone just days before an important election?? Hmm, probably for the same reason that zero party officers have publicly called for Perkins to resign her position.
HIRA News reached out to Ms. Hunt but received no response about how Tammy Ash Perkins got control of the Maui GOP’s MailChimp e-newsletter account in order to attack Jews in Israel in Ms. Hunt’s official Maui GOP newsletter? Ms. Hunt also didn’t reply by our publishing deadline for her comment about Ms. Perkin’s opinion of Jews in Israel as being guilty of genocide and unjustified ‘attacks’ on Israel’s neighbors. Since not much communication appears to be coming from either the state or county GOP organizations, it’s hard to believe that Ms. Hunt was too busy to address this growing scandal. Aren’t all party officers on high alert during the final 9 days before the election?
ON THE SAME PAGE AS TERRORISTS: On the anniversary of Hamas’ October 2023 deadly attack on Israel, and with top Hawaii GOP leaders circling the wagons and silently condoning the antisemitism of the Maui GOP chairwoman Tammy Ash Perkins promoted through official Hawaii GOP communications, it’s clear that heads need to roll at the now homeless (headquarters shuttered by Shirlene Ostrov and Tamara McKay months ago) Hawaii Republican Party. At this exact moment, Ms. Perkins (and her seemingly numerous supporters in the Hawaii GOP) have everything in common with leftist America-haters and terror-loving Jew-haters in Iran and elsewhere. Just compare her worldview with that of Iran’s Supreme Leader and the world’s #1 terror organization funder Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who said the following while a crowd of antisemites were chanting “Death to Israel”:
“The world is witnessing the Zionist regime’s genocide.”
That’s typical Iran ayatollah brand antisemitism for you. But, the official statement from the Maui Republican Party is virtually identical:
“Zionists are committing Genoside (sic) in the middle east.”
Holy crap!! And then there’s the official statement from the Democrat Socialists of America:
“Demand an end to the Zionist Genocide!”
Well, that’s just perfect. Republicans in Hawaii are now on the same page as the Ayatollah and Socialists.
PERKINS THINKS WE ARE ALL STUPID: After the antisemitism was exposed by HIRA News, top Republican party officer Perkins showed everyone how stupid she thinks all Republicans are by pretending that by attacking Zionists, she didn’t mean Jews in Israel (THE VERY DEFINITION OF ZIONISTS). Like a moron who doesn’t know anything about the political party she is leading, Maui county chair Perkins mindlessly quotes the United Nations (a historically anti-Israel cult of anti-Western countries which attempted to make anti-Semitism international law) in order to pretend that she wasn’t talking about Israel or Jews when attacking “Zionists”. Yes, she quoted some UN anti-Israel resolution to make her point to other Republicans. Even Mazie Hirono is smarter than Tammy Ash Perkins.
LAYING IT ON REALLY THICK: “I never mentioned Israel and never mentioned Jews,” Perkins ridiculously wrote to fellow party officers in her own defense this weekend, as if she believes we are all stupid. Adding insult to injury, Maui GOP chair Perkins refuses to identify any possible people or country OTHER than Jews in Israel whom she claims to have been talking about when attacking genocide-committing Zionists. But OF COURSE she was accusing Jews of genocide and accusing Israel of attacking its innocent, defenseless neighbors without any justification (like constant rocket fire, terror attacks, kidnappings, etc.). Sure, Perkins might see herself as the slickest, smoothest-talking, smartest person on Maui capable of fooling the average Maui resident with her slippery double-speak. But in reality she’s an entirely unclever Jew hating nutjob who belongs nowhere near the leadership of the Hawaii GOP.
FLASHBACK TO EMPTY WORDS FROM TAMARA MCKAY: Following Hamas’ October 7th attack on Israel last year, McKay published an official message from the local GOP – “Israel’s strength lies in its resolve to secure the well-being of its citizens.” However, the local GOP has no problem with Perkins accusing Israel of “starting to bomb its neighbors”. So much for supporting the efforts to ‘secure the well-being’ of Jews who are being attacked daily by terrorists on all sides of our nation’s main ally in the region. Totally empty words from hypocrite Tamara McKay, who can’t even be bothered to address the antisemitism from her junior officer by calling an emergency meeting of the State Committee to fire Perkins and apologize for her junior officer’s appalling misconduct. Disgusting!!
LIVING IN DENIAL: Earlier this year, at the Hawaii GOP’s poorly attended state convention in Mililani, a resolution was approved by the handful of delegates there (just a couple hundred out of a potential 2,000) voted to pass a resolution affirming the Hawaii Republican Party’s support for Israel (and condemning the October 7th attack on Israel by the Hamas terror organization). According to our sources on the party’s governing State Committee (which Tamara McKay refuses to allow to convene to fire Perkins), the convention’s passage of that explicit statement of support for Jews in Israel didn’t stop Tammy Ash Perkins from asserting over the weekend, “For you to say that our State HRP 2024 position is in direct opposition to what I said is nonsense. There is none.” Not only is Perkins an unhinged antisemitic idiot and a total liar, she is systematically and casually abusing her official post to tell the world that Republicans don’t officially support Israel in Hawaii or nationally.
GASLIGHTING BY HRP VICE CHAIR SHERYL BIELER: Other members of Tamara McKay’s executive committee have jumped in to circle the wagons around Perkins, including Sheryl Bieler, the HRP vice chair for coalitions (more accurately, HRP vice chair for personal sales of Trump merchandise at local rallies resold from Temu). McKay’s AWOL coalitions vice chair Bieler cranked up the bull and the gaslighting when she told HIRA News over the weekend: “To be perfectly clear, I myself find this disgusting also. The State chair cannot remove her from her position. (a total lie) She is Maui County Chair and was voted in by them. They must remove her from her seat. Please stop bashing Tamara for something she had no knowledge of. You know as well as everybody in the party, a removal from the party must go to the State Committee. (what’s taking so long?) So hold your horses.” Yes, Bieler is part of the operation to protect her boss Tamara from having to do the right thing, since Perkins has been a loyal puppet of McKay inside the dysfunctional political party. So sad. Perkins should have been removed from office in an emergency meeting 10 days ago.
We’re still waiting for that list of coalitions Bieler built in time for 2024. Bieler? Bieler?
DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN: Following the 2020 election, serious charges of antisemitism in the Hawaii GOP led quickly to the ouster of corrupt RINO Shirlene Ostrov as the state chair and the ouster of Ostrov-brownnosing Edwin Boyette, her vice chair for communications. But the wagon-circling in October 2024 has kept top leaders of the corrupt and incompetent Hawaii GOP in their jobs . . . for now. But a reality check is in order. Maui GOP Chair Perkins has pulled a Shirlene Ostrov on steroids: Attacking Jews with antisemitic rubbish sent officially by the Republican Party just before Election Day using the party’s official e-mail communications and SPEAKING FOR ALL REPUBLICANS as if her accusations of GENOCIDE is official party policy. Is this the October Surprise folks in Hawaii have been waiting for? Could there be more October Surprises and perhaps even November Surprises?!? One thing’s for sure: If Ostrov had to go, then Perkins’ ouster is an even easier decision. Oy vey!!
THERE’S BEEN ONE UNRELATED RESIGNATION OF A HIGH-RANKING OFFICIAL: There has been one resignation of a county chairman on Oahu. Steve Lipscomb threw in the towel a few weeks ago as leader of the Honolulu GOP because he didn’t want to be supervised by Tamara McKay’s vice chairwoman Teri Savaiinaea, who was ALSO supposed to be supervising Tammy Ash Perkins this entire time. The Hawaii GOP’s State Committee recently voted to reaffirm McKay’s strongly held belief that Savaiinaea was supposed to be supervising Perkins, Lipscomb and the other three county chairs. Apparently, such supervision wasn’t happening at all. You’d think that winning in 2024 would matter enough to these party officers that they’d do their jobs and do them well. Apparently NOT. In fact, McKay has no plans to fill the vacancy to replace Lipscomb until after the General Election. So, one can easily conclude that the work of each county party can’t really be that important to anyone.
DOUBLING DOWN: In response to HIRA News exposing her antisemitic views, Perkins again used the Maui GOP’s official communications to double down on her antisemitism, praising her own comments (“glad that I did”), called herself “unafraid” for ‘standing her ground’ in attacking Israel and Jews. No wonder Tamara McKay is so impressed with her friend Tammy Perkins. Like McKay, even when someone is wrong, they stand their ground and prove their abject unwillingness to apologize and/or get out of the way so the damage can be contained.
ARE THERE TWO SIDES TO THIS STORY?: Opponents of Tammy Perkins are lining up. And so are her supporters. More on this below.
RUNNING FOR OFFICE WITH AN ALBATROSS AROUND YOUR NECK: In 2024, brave Republican candidates on all islands have already been thrown to the wolves by party leaders who failed to do their jobs since 2022 in laying the groundwork for victory (or at least coming close). After being told the entire burden of being elected rests on them, why are GOP candidates now being forced to worry about voters seeing island Republicans as possible Jew haters by stupid, hateful officers of the Hawaii GOP under Tamara McKay’s command? For instance, Scott Adam is now running (again) for state house on Maui against Democrat Mahina Poepoe. Scott’s wife, Mrs. Amanda Adam, is an officer of the Maui GOP under Tammy Ash Perkins. Does Perkins’ emulating the kind of “Israel has no right to exist” garbage of terrorists make either of the Adam’s lives easier with her hateful vitriol? Of course not. On top of that, NOBODY in America uses the word “Zionists” in a sentence unless he or she is a Jew hating crazy person that probably also blames Israel for the 9/11 terror attacks? Don’t ever forget that Tammy Ash Perkins explicitly accused Israel of genocide and questioned Israel’s right to defend itself TEN DAYS AGO WITH TOTAL IMPUNITY from GOP leaders.
WILL THE MAUI GOP TAKE ACTION?: Mrs. Adam’s fellow officer in the Maui GOP, Arsenio Amario, has been on an emotional rollercoaster since HIRA News broke the story on this scandal. At first, poor Arsenio wrote to HIRA News and told us that Perkins has a first amendment right to hate on Israel and Jews. Then, perhaps after thinking more clearly, he submitted an official MALFEASANCE complaint against Perkins for abusing her office by INTENTIONALLY sending out an official newsletter attacking Jews and attacking Israel. After that, Mr. Amario really upped the ante by issuing Hawaii Republican leaders (in internal communications) a very stark choice in how they respond to the Hawaii GOP’s antisemitism scandal, writing to fellow party members as he unsuccessfully demanded action by feckless loser Tamara McKay: “Stand and Fight for what is right. The Redline is drawn. You are either for Israel’s Right to Co-Exist with the Peaceful Palestinian People -OR- Side with the Pro-Terrorist group: HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH, and all IRANIAN’s Terror proxy Armies.” It seems that Mr. Amario came to an obvious realization late in the day, as he confessed this past week, explaining in his complaint against Perkins: “But since it was sent out via official MailChimp, it becomes our MCRP official unified position.” Obviously, buddy. That’s what HIRA News said in the first place.
THE HEARTACHE CONVEYED IN AMARIO’S COMPLAINT: Maui GOP’s Arsenio Amario abandoned his initial defensiveness and glibness about Perkins’ anti-Semitism when writing that, “Each and everyone of us that disagree with Madam Perkins’ contentions are currently hurting as we truly believed — deep in our hearts, being Catholics and Christians — that ISRAEL “IDF” has only acted in reactions to the atrocities committed by the terror group HAMAS & HEZBOLLAH. And that Israel has the right to defend and protect its citizens “peaceful Jewish people and Palestinian alike” against terrorism. I am considering this complaint as URGENT – and needs emergency actions to prevent an exodus of members and delegates resignations from District 9 and District 10 including myself, the whole members of our household, friends and relatives.” Damn, that’s pretty serious. No wonder this scandal is exploding and the party is imploding.
BUT ANTISEMITIC PERKINS HAS HER NUTTY SUPPORTERS TOO: Israel haters, antisemites and other crazies are coming out of the woodwork to defend Maui GOP chair Perkins’ attack. One of Perkin’s biggest defenders is Kauai resident and tinfoil hat-wearing activist Ray Songtree, who writes that “Trump supporters are crazy to think Trump will drain the swamp of Rothschild Zionism. Wake up and smell the Zionism.” Songtree’s social media presence promotes articles such as “Trump’s Worse Than Bush and Obama Because You Think He Isn’t”. In a message to Perkins about the party’s antisemitism scandal, Songtree sympathizes and whines: “You are being attacked by ignorant people.” Well, somebody out there has to like Tammy “Hamas” Perkins as much as Tamara McKay does.
And Songtree isn’t alone. Millilani 2024 Republican legislative candidate Emil Svrcina gave a fist-waving defense of Perkins: “That’s why GOP is controlled (fake) opposition party.” Svrcina added, “Trump is a puppet of Israel first ideology.” We’re sure that Perkins and Songtree (and the Ayatollah) would be happy to hear Emil’s take. What’s next? The Earth is flat??
Big Island party gadfly and extreme RINO Ralph Sherman, circling the wagons around Perkins, responded to HIRA News revelation about the antisemitism scandal: “No one is listening to your hateful rhetoric. Give it a rest. Have you ever said anything positive about anybody?” This guy wouldn’t last 5 minutes in the comments section on Twitter without needing a new tampon from Tim Walz. So sad that this guy moved all the way to Hawaii to spend the remainder of his life being a useless idiot (or useful idiot, depending on which side you’re on). He’ll surely die on the hill known as Tamara McKay.
Closet Democrat and Hawaii GOP infiltrator Donna Von Idiot tried to minimize the scandal, writing: “This in-party bickering is, IMHO, so manini compared to what is truly at stake.” Yes, telling Hawaii voters that Jews are genocidal racists and that Israel has no right to defend itself is exactly what our message should be right before the election. Heck, let’s tell people we feel that way all year long. Thanks for your brilliant insight, Donna!
GO FUCK YOURSELF, HIRA NEWS: Failed Hawaii GOP state treasurer (under Tamara McKay) and soon-to-be-failed 2024 Kauai GOP state house candidate Mike Jauch had some choice words for HIRA News and its two main reporters who broke the anti-Semitism story, Eric Ryan and Kai Lorinc. “Go fuck yourself you garbage wrapped in skin. You are a globalist.” Unless his point wasn’t made clearly enough for his wife Rosemary and his handful of other feckless simpleton comrades to comprehend, “These two globalists, Eric and Kai, never go after the globalists because they are part of NWO (the New World Order). They bring vile vitriol.” And then, in a final flourish of pure RINO gaslighting, Jauch attacks longtime conservative activist Eric Ryan, writing: “Eric spews vitriolic diarrhea only at conservatives. Why is that? Because he is a globalist, procommunist. A double flush is apropos.” Apparently, Jauch has ZERO problem with Perkins aligning with terrorists and Jew haters throughout the Middle East and on American college campuses, where “from the river to the sea” means EXACTLY what we all know it means: Death to Israel and Jews. Sounds very NWO and UN, Mr. Jauch.
THE TRUTH WILL SET VOTERS FREE FROM VOTING GOP: If this is Jauch’s response to HIRA News about the Perkins scandal, then HRP’s toxic antisemitism problem is evidently on Kauai as well as Maui, where Perkins and McKay are headquartered. With Michael Jauch equating the protection of Jews (and probably other ‘infidels’ such as Americans) from being perennial targets of armed militants with being “globalist”, the terrorists have already won over some weak-minded converts. Practically speaking, akamai Hawaii voters have long memories and often bear grudges. Many still regard the Hawaii GOP as the party which suppressed labor and ran the plantations and dumped on immigrants brought here to work the soil. If this scandal remains unaddressed speedily, this new stain of anti-Semitism will be hard to live down with a voting population already sensitive to ethnic animus. If Ostrov had to resign and her communications chair had to hastily resign over whiffs of antisemitism (due to well-reasoned political pressure from top Republicans on the mainland), then people like Tammy Perkins and Mike Jauch and #1 apologist Tamara McKay really ought to be removed from the party’s membership roster THIS WEEK. And WHERE is McKay’s vice chair for coordinated campaigns, Fenton “Kaulana” Lee? Probably still celebrating how corrupt RINO Shirlene Ostrov arranged for his ‘perk’ to accompany her and other RINOs to the RNC national convention a few months ago as a reward for doing jack squat in accomplishing the critical work which comes with his title. But we certainly haven’t heard any public statements from Mr. Lee to condemn hate speech and anti-Semitism. Such refusal by top GOP officers to condemn Perkins equals condoning these evil sentiments.
THE LOCAL PARTY OF CRAZY PEOPLE: When fake Republicans and nutjobs have taken over the Hawaii GOP, as they clearly have, it’s time for action by party members. But, hold on folks, as more information about these losers is coming from HIRA News later this week. Stay tuned for a full report on how the Hawaii GOP’s top leaders are DELIBERATELY SURRENDERING AND KNOWINGLY LOSING to island Democrats in 2024. Yes, let’s cut to the chase – we will be stuck with the Democrat supermajority in our county, state, and congressional offices for the next few years thanks to malfeasance, nonfeasance, and misfeasance by phonies who wanted the titles and the perks of being top HRP officers, but didn’t really want to do the work. That’s right. Next week’s massive losses by Hawaii GOP candidates will transpire NOT because the evidence against the ruling party wasn’t on our side. But because NOBODY actually did their jobs to make the case against Democrats and to organize enough voters who’d be on our side once ballots arrived in the mail. Candidates cannot do this alone, especially in the Aloha State. Even worse, both Hawaii’s GOP and the Hawaii Trump campaign WROTE OFF HAWAII IN 2024. Shocking stuff. Like we said, stay tuned this week.
Finally, with Kamala Harris and mainland Democrats (and their proxies in Hawaii such as Mazie Hirono and Brian Schatz) mindlessly accusing Republicans of being ‘fascists’ and ‘Nazis’ and ‘Hitler’, why would top party leaders in Hawaii go out of their way to help Democrats (and the liberal media) to PROVE this assertion by officially promoting antisemitism during the final days of the 2024 campaign which would make Nazis (and Islamists) so very proud ot Tamara McKay’s GOP? How many idiots are in control of the Hawaii Republican Party at this moment? Too many to count.
When RINO Tammy Ash Perkins, after outing herself as an antisemite, again uses the platform of the Maui GOP in order to declare “you can’t trust one word that HIRA puts out and we all know it”, you know she’s been caught red-handed and needs to resign. Sadly, top Hawaii GOP leaders at both the state and county levels have been condoning the rampant antisemitism and tinfoil hat nuttiness long enough. Either that, or they just don’t know any better. There are no good options here except to start from scratch on the morning of November 6th. When you read our next story, you’ll be forced to conclude that 2024 is already over here in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Island Democrats are sleeping very well tonight. They know that both Tamara McKay and Shirlene Ostrov have blown a golden opportunity to make inroads. Auwe!

ANTI-SEMITISM AT HAWAII GOP: This High-Ranking Anti-Israel Nutjob Has to Go!
Kula, Maui – One short day after Hamas’ top terror leader Yahya Sinwar was killed by the Israel Defense Forces on October 16th (and at the same time Hawaii voters began filling out their ballots), Anti-Israel nutjob and apparent Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran sympathizer Tammy Ash Perkins, the head of Maui’s GOP, used the official Hawaii Republican Party communications platform to accuse Israel of committing GENOCIDE after decades of America’s closest regional ally being routinely and violently attacked by well-armed terrorists in Iran, Lebanon and Gaza.
With attacks on Israel continuing and with Israeli hostages still being held, tortured, and slaughtered, It’s not surprising that Tammy Ash Perkins’ horrifying views that Israel is committing genocide are in perfect sync with Kamala Harris, Iran‘s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, and radicalized terrorists throughout the Middle East. After all, the Hawaii GOP has been overrun with nutjobs and RINOs like Perkins in recent years.
Perhaps it’s also unsurprising that, one week after the Maui GOP officially accused Israel of deliberately killing innocent civilians and criticized the country for taking necessary steps to defend its own citizens from barbaric militants committed to the extermination of Jews and the extinction of Israel, the Executive Committee of the entire Hawaii GOP (led by Tamara McKay and Kaulana Lee) has REFUSED to call for Perkins’ resignation or begin proceedings for her removal. This fact alone speaks volumes about the increasingly dismal state of Republican leadership in the Aloha State.
You might recall how, following the 2020 election disaster, disgraced Hawaii GOP state chair Shirlene Ostrov was forced to resign in shame shortly after the party’s official communications platform promoted an antisemitic Holocaust-denier’s rantings. So, we are left to wonder: WHY is Tammy Perkins, who is personally directing such hateful anti-Israel communications from the official Hawaii GOP platform still on the executive committee of Tamara McKay’s state party? WHY hasn’t she been shown the door, like Ostrov?
The answer is simple. Total nutjobs control Hawaii’s Republican Party. Year after pathetic year. The examples are too numerous. But HIRA News will soon report all of these stories – especially the most recent ones – so folks can understand why Republicans keep losing here in the Aloha State.
IN CLOSING, HERE’S THE OCTOBER SURPRISE FROM THE HAWAII GOP: If you love Hamas, if you love Hezbollah, if you love Iranian-sponsored terrorism and if you HATE Israel, then you’ll love the new Republican Party of Hawaii which, quite publicly, accuses Israel of genocide and bemoans Israel’s right to self-defense against its hostile neighbors. To lend your voice to the new anti-Israel Hawaii GOP, you can contact Maui GOP leader Tammy Ash Perkins at tammyaperkins@protonmail.com or at chair@mauicountygop.com. Or, you can write to her and demand her resignation.
Finally, yes, these nutjobs don’t know how to spell genocide either (Genoside?). But our party’s leadership needs more than just spell-checking. It needs to stop using tinfoil to make hats and stop picking boneheaded liberals as party officers. However, in her defense, Perkins has recently shared credit for her words and actions in the official Hawaii GOP newsletter, writing this: “my spirit guide urged me to take action”. Sadly, with a top party officer providing aid and comfort to the enemies of freedom with false accusations of genocide, that’s all you really need to know about the state of the Hawaii Republican Party (HRP) in 2024. Her spirit guide made her do it. Oy vey!See the official Hawaii GOP communication for yourself by clicking the link below . . .
