It was inevitable that the climate crazies would blame the recent Maui wildfires on climate change.

Those recent wildfires on Maui were the result of Hawaii spending money on a nonexistent climate crisis instead of upgrading their energy grid. They instead opted to squander their funds pushing wind and solar energy projects.

The wildfires were allegedly started by a downed live power line, which ignited the brush under the downed powerline. The removal of the brush was supposedly part of the utility company’s upgrade to replace aging bare powerlines and collapsing utility poles.

Maui fire departments were required to “consult” with farmers before releasing water to fight the fires. By then, the fires were burning out of control, spread by winds from nearby Hurricane Dora.

Had Maui’s power companies shut down the electrical grid before Hurricane Dora approached, there would have been no wildfires.

During the wildfires, the authorities blocked the roads from Lahaina, resulting in an unknown death toll. Why needs investigated.

Warning sirens, dating back to World War II did not sound to warn Lahaina residents of the approaching danger. Why also needs investigated.

The Hawaiian “Bureau of Land Management” neglected to cull their brush and overgrown forests, providing tinder to burn and spread the fires.

Blue state “leaders” will use any excuse, including a phoney climate crisis to mask their incompetent “leadership,” Hawaii included.

In a letter titled “How much longer?” in the Sunday, Aug. 27 newspaper, the writer stated the former president (Trump) doesn’t respect our country, our constitution and the rule of law. Not true.

Our former president mocks and disrespects the state judiciaries of New York and Georgia because they are abusing their offices, making their own mockery of the law and the constitution by bringing political indictments against Trump to cripple his 2024 re-election campaign. Democrats are well aware Biden has no accomplishments to run on in his bid for re-election in 2024. None!

New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Counsel Jack Smith in D.C. are working in conjunction with Biden’s corrupt DOJ to remove Trump from the 2024 presidential race. These political hacks deserve no respect from Trump or anyone else.

For the sake of our country, they must not be allowed to succeed.
