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:

1. 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.
2. 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.

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!

Other than liberal Scott Saiki, the speaker of Hawaii’s Democrat state house, losing to a radical socialist transvestite who declared war on his/her own party (which has controlled the Aloha State for 70 long years), there were no real nail biting races to watch this past Saturday night.  “I wasn’t just campaigning against him. I was campaigning against the entire Democratic establishment,” victorious Kim Coco Iwamoto told Hawaii News Now.  Saiki was endorsed by nearly every single Democrat heavy-hitter from Josh Green on down (even the supposedly apolitical and nonpartisan prosecutor Steve Alm) and still lost.  It’s too bad that the Hawaii GOP didn’t bother to campaign against that same Democrat establishment.  Too bad indeed.

The BIG lesson of the 2024 Primary?  There was ABSOLUTELY ZERO excitement for Republican candidates among island voters.  The proof is in the numbers.  With a mixture of intent and inaction, the Hawaii GOP did NOTHING to generate any excitement.  If the party had just one job, it would be making it harder for Democrats to get elected and easier for Republicans.  That’s the job.  It’s that simple.  But no dice.  FOUR TIMES as many voters chose to vote as Democrats rather than Republicans (200,000 to 50,000).  That’s a trend which only the most delusional meth smoking election deniers could expect to swing the other direction once General Election voting starts in just a few short weeks.  In other words, Democrat politicians, policies and special interest groups will completely control Hawaii for the next two years and face no opposition from the GOP.  Period.

Here’s another example of a meltdown.  Mazie Hirono received more than SIX TIMES the number of votes cast than her GOP opponent, Bob McDermott.  And why not?  Penniless non-campaigning RINO Bob McDermott and the silent Hawaii GOP did nothing to explain why Hirono is so dangerous to the livelihoods and futures of these voters.  NOTHING.  And among the tiny cadre of Republicans who voted in the primary, McDermott received virtually the same number of votes as his five unknown GOP opponents.  McDermott bailed on his reasonably safe seat in the State House; handing his Ewa Beach office over to Democrat Rose Martinez, now running for her second term since Bob decided in 2022 to bail on his state house colleagues to run against Mazie Hirono’s colleague Brian Schatz for a U.S. Senate seat.  Not surprisingly, McDermott lost to Schatz by a 3-to-1 margin.  You can already imagine the blowout in this year’s general election against Mazie.  Remember, it doesn’t matter if YOU know that Hirono is horrible.  What matters is that virtually nobody else knows this, because they aren’t being told or shown by the silent Hawaii GOP and Mr. Zero Fundraising McDermott.

Another 2022 statewide GOP candidate has flamed out.  Despite being perennial wannabe governor Duke Aiona’s running mate just two years ago, Junior Tupai came in a distant fourth place in the much smaller 2024 race for Big Island mayor.  Getting just 11% of the votes cast, Tupai (last reported to be living at home with his mommy) trailed the top tier candidates and only bested three minor candidates who seemingly didn’t campaign at all.  If you believe GOP leaders on the Big Island such as Holly Osborn, 4th place finisher Junior Tupai (the one-time common law affidavit salesman during the Covid pandemic) actually won the mayoral contest, but Democrats rigged the election…

Even Sheila Walker, who thought she was capable to be the state chair for the Hawaii GOP, was barely able to consolidate the tiny Republican vote behind her, with more than 500 leaving the ballot blank in her race to her less than 1,500 votes received.  Needless to say, the Democrat Angus McKelvey received roughly 4,400 votes – more than TRIPLE the votes cast for Walker.  This is a sign to the nondelusional among Walker’s donors and volunteers that she isn’t really mounting a serious campaign and that the Hawaii GOP isn’t really trying to unseat McKelvey.  In mainland states where Republicans have their act together (even ‘blue’ states), you simply DO NOT SEE margins of victory and defeat this MASSIVE.

Waianae Cost Republican Teri Savaiinaea lost bigly to GOP rival and angry ethnic justice warrior Samantha Decorte, notwithstanding the fact that Savaiinaea is a high-ranking officer with the Hawaii GOP.  Ironically, she serves as vice chair for candidate recruitment and training, which apparently didn’t pay off for the party insider.  But, even if you add their votes together, they barely got more votes than either of the two Democrats in that hotly contested race.  With a Hawaii Democrat Party which historically takes post-Primary ‘unity’ seriously in order to keep Republicans from winning, it’s hard to imagine a scenario in which the GOP could push RINO Decorte across the finish line.

Incumbent GOP state senator Brenton Awa – whose downright un-American and highly vocal opposition to ‘transplant’ Americans moving from any other state to the State of Hawaii – got only a fraction of the votes in his Windward Oahu district than his two Democrat rivals.  It was another case of 3 Democrat voters for every 1 Republican voter.  Fired KITV news anchor Brenton Awa appears destined for the one-term and out dustbin of former politicians.  Again, where was the Hawaii GOP??

Speaking of one-term politicians, even the Hawaii Trump campaign was unable to help former Andria Tupola staffer and Hawaii Trump campaign honcho Braedon Wilkerson’s girlfriend and client and campaign donor Natalia Hussey-Burdick  You remember this far-left nutjob, don’t you?  She’s the one who tattled on her fellow Democrats and blew the whistle to HPD that her colleagues at the State Capitol were holding booze-fueled parties INSIDE the building, in hopes that they’d be arrested for DUI (presumably as political payback for not supporting her bill relating to the legality of using midwives for delivering babies).  Well, it didn’t take Democrats long to find some willing candidate to ‘primary’ Ms. Hussey-Burdick, who was outspent by a small fortune by the upstart Mike Lee and his generous benefactors.  The Republican who’ll be facing Mr. Lee in the General Election, poor unknown Tim Connelly, only received 1,000 votes to the combined 6,000 Democrat votes on Saturday.  Clearly, the Hawaii GOP was just as useless in 2024 as it was when it let its 2022 candidate Kathy Thurston lose to Ms. Hussey-Burdick by 3,000 votes.  Needless to say, after such piss poor treatment, Ms. Thurston decided not to run again.

The Honolulu mayor’s race was a total disgrace, with Kirk Caldwell clone and fellow Democrat Rick Blangiardi facing no serious GOP opposition when high taxes, massive debt, rising crime, endless pay raises, pay-to-play kickbacks and an endless housing crisis SHOULD have been major issues.  On Hawaii News Now, Hawaii’s Democrat governor Josh Green let the cat out of the bag when he said into the camera:  “Congratulations, Rick.  You are a superstar and I just love you.  And I voted for you, man.”  That’s when HNN anchors nauseatingly referred to the ‘bromance’ between Green and Blangiardi.  Where was the Hawaii GOP?  Nowhere, as usual.  But state chair Tamara McKay’s cheerleaders used their social media accounts to continue singing her praises, as if oblivious to the fast-moving political calendar and the total meltdown at Republican HQ.

Even the Hawaii GOP’s national committeewoman (and interim state chair) Laura Nakanelua appeared powerless to help her husband do any better than a distant third place in a race for the Windward Oahu seat on the Honolulu City Council.  Incumbent Democrat Esther Kiaaina got more than TRIPLE the votes of Kelsey Nakanelua.  You might recall how Kiaaina joined with Fake Republican Val Okimoto in supporting a 64% pay raise for politicians at Honolulu Hale, which saw Kiaaina’s nearly $70,000 City salary explode to $113,000.  Voters simply needed the Hawaii GOP and a strong candidate to explain how politicians like Kiaaina are sodomizing their standard of living in order to enrich special interest groups.  But, alas, top Republican leaders have zero intention of persuading voters they are being ripped off since these same party leaders are mostly liberals, incompetents, and malcontents who obsess over party titles and perks rather than the important work of unseating destructive Democrat politicians who’ve steered the way to a $1,150,000 median housing pricetag and multigenerational households each with 10 cars parked on the street (including the spare room renters) becoming the norm.  Now, Kiaaina is on her way to getting another four years at city hall after the November general election.  Way to go, Hawaii GOP!!

With high profile 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate BJ Penn coming in a distant 3rd in a three-way race for county council on the Big Island with a dismal 16% of the total vote in the nonpartisan 2024 race, you can already hear the gang from Surfing 4 Truth, Audit the Vote, Klean House Hawaii and Maui Freedom TV screaming about a rigged election.  But the sad reality is that Penn’s platform – that the #1 issue facing Hawaii is “election integrity” and NOT the cost of living – is cringe-inducing tinfoil hat blather which has ZERO relevance to long-suffering Hawaii residents to whom the Hawaii GOP fails and fails and fails to make its case to.  In Penn’s own words (click link to watch video), “Cost of living, although how bad it is and how terrible it is, it is NOT the #1 problem in Hawaii.  The #1 problem in Hawaii are these hidden and fake elections where we don’t know who is voting   This is the #1 problem in Hawaii.”  

Yes, even perennial Hawaii GOP candidate Joe Akana experienced a similar meltdown when asked in 2020 (click photo to watch the video) why he lost to Kai Kahele for a congressional seat.

REPORTER:  “Do you think the election was stolen and you should be congressman right now?”

JOE AKANA:  “Yes, I do.  I’d be remiss if I said I didn’t.

Crazy Joe lost to Kahele in 2020 by a 2-to-1 margin and then lost in 2022 to Jill Tokuda by the same 2-to-1 margin.  Believing in this election denier garbage while knowing that the Hawaii GOP is worthless and weak is enough to cause a brain to explode . . . which is probably why we haven’t heard from Joe Akana for some time.

If you are a Hawaii voter who is barely making ends meet, then you’ll probably vote for a candidate who (even if lying) says things that really matter and (even if lying) promises to make things better.  Even Donald Trump, who last month saw the value of simplifying the GOP’s national messaging with a concise platform, didn’t think to make ‘election integrity’ his top agenda item in 2024.  But the Hawaii GOP is controlled by nutty election denier types who have conned candidates like BJ Penn and too many others into believing the only thing keeping them from winning is a fair counting of the ballots.  Sadly, local ‘influencers’ Surfing 4 Truth has already declared in the wake of Primary 2024 that island voters don’t bother voting because they don’t have confidence in mail-in voting.  Sorry, but experienced political operatives and marketers know that island voters don’t bother voting because the choices don’t excite them enough to bother voting.

The Hawaii GOP and its officers and its candidates bear 100% of the responsibility for the lowest voter turnout in state history in the 2024 Primary.  When nutjobs like Corinne Solomon of ‘Audit the Vote Hawaii’ (and a 2024 candidate for State House in East Honolulu) embrace the delusion that Donald Trump might have WON the 2020 election here in Hawaii despite GOP presidential candidates typically losing by 2-to-1 margins, you have a recipe for political disaster.  The disaster?  Nobody at the Hawaii GOP does their jobs and candidates become complacent and the local news media gets to sit back and watch the resulting Republican crash and burn in 2024.

Saturday’s Primary was merely a harbinger of bad things to come.  Stay tuned for an exclusive HIRA News report on the massive and deliberate failure by the Hawaii Republican Party to make any political inroads in 2024.  It’s a story of political malpractice on steroids.  Let’s just call it what it really is:  a shitshow.  HAWAII’S REPUBLICANS ARE LETTING DEMOCRATS WIN.  IT’S THAT SIMPLE.

The General Election is less than three months away.  And, STILL, no voters have been told by the Hawaii Republican Party and its statewide operation that Democrats suck and why they suck.  No ‘red wave’ will be reaching Hawaii, like we keep being told by moronic local influencers.  No case has been made to voters.  No coordinated campaign.  No ground game.  No coalitions.  No messaging.  No nothing at all.  The GOP ship is going down while Captain Tamara McKay and her pathetic crew allow Hawaii residents to drown instead of trying to save them.  So much for completely broken promises of “strong leadership” and “the right experience.”  Old Guard RINO’s are poised to retake the party in 2025 after this debacle.  Auwe!
