BREAKING: The United States has just sent another $200 million in aid to Ukraine.

$200 million to Ukraine today and Maui doesn't even get a comment.

As American citizens in Lahaina, Maui suffer from the loss of life and property President Joe Biden has just sent $200M worth of artillery rounds, air defense munitions and other weapons to Ukraine.

Nearly 100 people have been confirmed dead in the Maui fires, over 2000 structures have been destroyed and thousands have been displaced.

I hope Biden had a great vacation."




How would $20 million worth of ammunition and bombs benefit Maui? What's the intention behind such an allocation? Would they use them to further damage their island?

The President's recent action has made Federal funding available to those affected in Maui County. This assistance encompasses grants for the reconstruction of homes, businesses, streets, roads, and other vital infrastructure. This support is in addition to the aid already provided by FEMA, the Red Cross, and numerous other non-profit organizations.

However, a more pressing question arises:

Why did the emergency alert systems fail to function? According to a local government official, they have been in disrepair since the first Bush presidency. That's a span of six administrations, encompassing both Republicans and Democrats, that failed to properly fund the system. It's a sobering reminder that placing blind faith in either political side to look out for the people may be misguided. Silly, indeed.
