A bully

Our president seems to conduct a lot of the business of our government in the style of a bully (like his conduct with our North American allies and our NATO allies).

Funny how he is not the master of “The Apprentice” anymore when he runs into a bigger bully. He is kind of a wimp, actually, when dealing with the bullies of North Korea and Russia.

More info, please

I doubt I am the only citizen distressed by the lack of pertinent details we are receiving from the Hawaii Police Department and Civil Defense during these worrisome times.

Tuesday night, about 9 o’clock, we received information that Highway 11 was closed at Kukui Camp Road. No reason given. Just “find another way around Kukui Camp Road and Highway 11.”

We had to wait until Wednesday morning to discover a man was armed and dangerous in our neighborhood. … When the news came out on messenger, we didn’t know if lava sprouted in Mountain View or what in the world was going on.

Certainly our Civil Defense and Police Department can give more complete information to the citizens during these dangerous times.
