Lahaina destroyed by fire and incompetence.

Joe Biden took some time off for his vacations with billionaires like climate extremist Tom Steyer to visit Maui.

The disaster in Maui was made worse by the incompetence of Hawaiian officials. Even worse was Joe Biden’s uncaring response to it. Over 114 people have died, and much of the history of Maui was destroyed. Four museums were lost.



Biden Really Cares
The Biden administration wants us to believe they have been with people in Maui since Day One. It’s sickening to constantly hear how Joe cares about America as he turns his back on us.


THE MEDIA FINALLY COVERS THE DEATHS

The media is finally covering the deaths. They have tried to cover it up to protect Biden and Hawaiian Democrats.

More than 100 people were killed in the Lahaina wildfire, and hundreds more remain missing – and it’s “possible” that many of the victims are children who were at home while schools were closed, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green told “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

Hawaii officials said on Monday that 850 people are still missing on Maui in the wake of wildfires that destroyed historic Lahaina and other areas. So far, just 27 of the 114 confirmed victims have been identified.


School was out and people fear many of the deceased are children.

The boy who dies hugging his dead dog
Stories have started pouring in of children who were lost in the flames.

Teenager Keyiro Fuentes was enjoying his last day of summer vacation hanging out at his Lahaina home when the fire swept through. His adoptive mother, Luz Vargas, was working five miles away.


She and her husband tried to get home to Fuentes as soon as they learned of the fire, but got stuck in traffic. When she got out of the car to run to the house, she faced a police barricade. Later, after running past officers, first responders told her the area had been cleared and no one was there.

When they were finally allowed to go to their house two days later, they found the body of their 14-year-old son, hugging the family’s dead dog. He was just days away from celebrating his 15th birthday.

I’m sorry, but this is criminal.

As we said, the incompetence is horrifying.



Coast Guard Station August 8 2023
If it wasn’t for the intense pressure on him, it’s doubtful Biden would have gone to Maui.

He asked for another forty billion dollars for Ukraine, and in the way of comparison, he will give $700 to each Maui resident.

The residents want help, not Joe Biden.


Residents of Maui don’t believe it. [Biden doesn’t care about anything or anyone.]


You’re Too Late, Joe

Aside from FakePresidentRealCrook SenileJoeBiden’s belated visit, one must take note of the incompetence of the local officials, who were elected by the citizens of this very blue state, not for their brilliance, but because of their ‘diversity.’ Well, when ‘diversity’ Trumps competence, there are real consequences!

Joe Biden comes to Maui only to remind all Hawaiians to be sorrowful for the death of his son Beau Biden who Joe thinks died due to a burn pit in Iraq.

I’m surprised Diaper doesn’t bring with him a cardboard cutout of Beau. After all, Beau is nothing more than a prop for this pos.

President Biden’s response, or lack of, is shameful. President Obama is also AWOL.

Criminal grifter Pedo Joe is protected by the fully corrupt criminal Deep State.
When you can steal elections, you don’t have to concern yourself with
the little people of Maui. Besides, you can’t launder $billions through Hawaii.

They will still vote for Biden next election. That’s the liberal way. Disasters happen to other people and they don’t care until it happens to them. Then they get outraged. By next election they will all be back in lock step and vote democrat.

Edited to clean it up.

 

Historic = badly built, wooden buildings packed together with little thought to fire danger.

The place was a disaster waiting to happen.
***
I was utterly disgusted as Joe went on about his 'kitchen fire' - a story completely debunked as utter BS... What a complete wanker.

Hey Joe - it ain't about you! Give it a rest

 

More like 1400 dead and the real-estate maggots are crawling over the dead to buy up the property.
Planned burn/whip out and my apologies to regular maggots.

 

The Gov has frozen all land sales. Like offline contracts aren't being cut this second...

 

Oh lord, Frozen for joe blow....now their pardnahs???

 

Has anyone read much on this disaster?

 

Oh you can be sure the Biden administration will take care of the people in Ukraine.

 

When Paradise, California burned to the ground it was on every channel 24/7, but this has been strangely absent. There has been some coverage, but nothing like what is usual for floods, tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, mass shootings, etc.. You would think that the climate change people would be all over this, but no! Some things just make you want to go, HUM?

 

There is a lot of hinky things associated with this disaster.

Investigation launched as Lahaina fire death toll rises

Lahaina residents began to sift through the charred remains of their homes Friday as Maui County lifted the restriction on public access to West Maui and the death toll of this week’s horrific fire reached 80, making it the deadliest natural disaster in state history.

With questions mounting about whether residents were given enough warning about the impending disaster, the Attorney General’s Office announced that it would be conducting a formal review of the decision-making and policies leading up to, during and after the wildfires on Maui and Hawaii islands.

“My department is committed to understanding the decisions that were made before and during the wildfires and to sharing with the public the results of this review. As we continue to support all aspects of the ongoing relief effort, now is the time to begin this process of understanding,” Attorney General Anne Lopez said in a statement.

In an interview with CNN, Gov. Josh Green was asked about reports and criticisms that the public was not sufficiently warned about the Lahaina fire. He replied that he authorized a “comprehensive review” to find out exactly what happened and when.

He also said authorities were facing an unprecedented catastrophe caused by high winds linked to a passing hurricane in combination with drought conditions.

The Maui Fire Department contained a wildfire in Lahaina on Tuesday morning, but winds up to 60 mph drove a flare-up that by nighttime was engulfing Front Street and the surrounding area.



Residents who escaped the fire have complained that they received no evacuation notices before or during the inferno.



Mayor Richard Bissen Jr. couldn’t be reached for comment Friday, but during a news conference the day before he and his lieutenants defended the way the situation was handled, saying evacuation orders were made and they did the best they could under horrendous circumstances.

But timelines and details were fuzzy as a Maui County news release late Tuesday afternoon said “people on the west side” were told to shelter in place, while Bissen at the Thursday news conference said only tourists were told to shelter in place in their hotels.

County officials said electrical power was out for Lahaina most of Tuesday, with 29 power poles down and probably cellphone towers, too. While communications were likely compromised, they said, multiple evacuation notifications were sent out.

“The fire that day moved so quickly that from where it started in the brush and moved into the neighborhood, communications back to those who make those notifications were physically and nearly impossible,” Maui Fire Chief Brad Ventura said.

When emergency alerts are triggered by the county, responsibility for those notifications lie jointly with the Maui Emergency Management Agency and the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency.

Adam Weintraub, HI-EMA spokesperson, said three alert systems were activated during the fire, delivering notices to mobile devices, radio and television, and to the county’s opt-in resident alert system, in which people sign up for phone alerts. Weintraub added that he didn’t have the times for when the alerts went out.

Some residents have asked why the tsunami sirens were not sounded.



Weintraub said the sirens were not activated because their intended purpose is to alert the public to seek additional information. He said they do not necessarily indicate an evacuation.



“We’ll look into what we could have done better,” he said. “Right now, our focus is on bringing food, water, shelter, fuel and medical care to the people of Maui.”

Tamara Paltin, the Council member who represents West Maui, said the wind-whipped fire traveled so fast that sending first responders door to door might have been ineffective and unwise.

Police sirens may not have worked either, she said, because “I spoke to two or three people who said they closed their windows to keep out the smoke.”

Lahaina Realtor Joe Pluta didn’t get any warning Tuesday night, and he ended up losing everything — along with nearly his life.

When he went to bed Tuesday night, he felt secure in the fact that the distant blaze was in the uplands and that the wind was howling away from his Ainakea Street home. He also lived two blocks away from the Lahaina fire and police stations.

“I assumed that if the fire came my way, my neighbors or police would let me know about it. But that never happened,” he said.

Pluta, a 74-year-old veteran of the Vietnam War, woke up at 3 a.m. to the sound of his smoke alarm. Black smoke filled his room and there was only one thing he could do: He moved to his bathroom, punched out the window screen and squeezed through the gap.

“I was one minute, maybe seconds, from my death,” he said.



Pluta landed on his head after a short drop to the ground and staggered to the street, a gash on his head and clad in only a pair of soft shorts. All the homes around him were burning, and embers and sparks were stinging him.



He ran for his life and down the street, he remembered. He was eventually picked up by a fire truck and taken to an evacuation center.

Befriended by a tourist couple who gave him a T-shirt and slippers, they ended up driving him to his daughter’s house in Kahului. Fortunately, his wife, Carole, was staying in Wailuku that night.

Pluta, a longtime advocate for the West Maui community and president of the West Maui Improvement Foundation, does not blame the police or firefighters for not warning him in advance. He blames a long line of politicians for allowing fire and police stations to be understaffed.

“They’ve got to make public safety a priority,” he said. “I’ve been saying it for years.”

Disaster teams from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and Department of Housing and Urban Development landed Friday on Maui and joined a team from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help with the recovery effort.

“I have directed my team to coordinate with local officials to assess impact, immediate needs, and plan for ultimate recovery efforts. HUD is invested in supporting your recovery and local HUD staff is on the ground to support,” HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge said in a statement.

In his interview with CNN, the governor said that there are more than 1,000 people “that we are still connecting with. We’re not searching for them, per se.”



“We had several hundred homes that did burn and those homes will be assessed in the coming days, starting tomorrow morning, with the FEMA team and people who can identify tragically whether someone has perished in their home,” Green said.

Green also said “without a doubt there will be more fatalities” and that officials should have “as close to a complete assessment” in the next week.

Before Tuesday’s fires, the 1960 tsunami that killed 61 people was the state of Hawaii’s deadliest natural disaster. On April 1, 1946, when Hawaii was still a U.S. territory, a tsunami generated off Alaska killed 159 people in the islands.



The governor also said the state is launching the Hawaii Fire Relief Housing Program which will use short-term rentals to house the thousands of displaced Maui residents. The state will cover the cost and is discussing the program with FEMA, Green said.

Meanwhile, county officials shut down public access to West Maui early after confrontations broke out between residents and police over access to closed Lahaina Town.

Honoapiilani Highway, which was opened at noon for the first time since the fire, was closed in both directions and motorists were told it was unknown when the highway would be reopened. Officials said people were parking on the Lahaina Bypass and walking into the closed areas considered hazardous.

Residents of West Maui with identification showing proof of residency and visitors with proof of hotel reservations were allowed to travel the highway starting at noon.





The Sate Governor Had let it slip in an interview that now the state may be able to get the land.
And there is still more going on.




This guy was the incident commander for the Los Vegas mass shooting.

 

I've read some ,, listened to a few comments from folks that were there.
Heard one guy say he came out of a store, seen the flames ,, was walking home passed a bunch of cars being held up by a cop. The guy got passed the cop,, and said he never saw any reason for the cars to have been stopped. He said he went back down that road the next day, and he broke down, saying some of those people were still in their cars , burned up .
A lot of things went wrong in that fire . Was the fire an accident?? I don't know . Could things have been done to save lives ?? Yes .

I don't like thinking our government is so corrupt that it would kill its own citizens for whatever reason , and cover it up ,,, but ,, I can't truly believe they wouldn't.

Years ago , I heard of stories of our own CIA organization toppling governments in other countries,, and always thought, if they do it over there ,, they could do it here .

I'm not saying this was all a setup ,, but it feels kind of strange the way some things happened ,, I'm not sure if we'll ever know the truth ,, but ,, we may be hearing the truth.

Expect the worst ,, pray for the best .

 

The climate change fire space lasers appear to have spared all the multi million dollar mc mansions.
So this appears to be mostly zoning incompetence.

Because Hawaii is a deep blue state, the news media already knows the people running Hawaii are about as incompetent as those running the virgin islands, the response is going to be a shit show and the government will use it as a excuse to snatch up a bunch of land.
It will show what democrat governor's really are, just elected criminals.

 

Sorry. Death of the innocent gets to me.

The globalist that are in charge of our current .guvs are very capable of killing us off, if it gets them what they want.
What do they want?

Remember, you will own nothing and be happy. They will get their total control and the best we can do is delay them a little.

 

Be hard to kill.

 

As I leaned when I was did mass casualty exercises in the air force no one is going to save you. The civilian authorities have absolutely no idea what's going on and probably made things worse.

I'm going to block this road because I'm a cop is all I see.

 

Man that's terrible. Really sad .
And our Piece of Shit president goes there and grants mere pennies to the people, and tries to make their hardship about himself.
I hope the people there can get back to normal soon ,, and I hope our president chokes on some of his babyfood when he's being spoonfed tonight .

I just read this story and it made me sick

 

I watched a video showing downed powerlines lighting some brush on fire. But there sure was some gross incompetence on display in big ol Blue Maui. I tell my kids that the only people who think the Gov. does a good job are those that have no experience with it.

 

No help is coming.
