Benghazi, shmengazi!
The real culprit is not the White House as the GOP has painted it, and if there is any real scandal, it’s that the intelligence sources that caused the preliminary bogus and very misleading reports was protected, if there is any cover up, it’s the fact we aren’t grilling CIA or some other intelligence of the government for providing reports that amounted to setting up the White House for scandal.
Remember how the ATF had the guns running fiasco “wide receiver” which was preceded by a supposedly successful version during the Bush years that included gun tracking (which somehow got left off during the Obama years version of the program) and yet cannot produce the person responsible for it? Which ATF director or chief was responsible for the proliferation of military firearms in large numbers to Mexican gang cartel?
This in my opinion is the tip of the iceberg, and the GOP in Congress are not the only ones that have castrated themselves for the sake of ruining Obama’s presidency, the ATF and CIA done so as well, with gun running “wide retards” (untracked gun proliferation to gangs) and bogus intelligence that set up the White House by forming what appears to be its failure to admit that terrorism was not wiped out when Bin Laden was assassinated — what idiocy. What a wonderful world, the White House may reflect what “we the people” want, but every other branch of government is fighting hard against us!

Please accept my apology
For all the help it may do, I’d like to let you know that I’m sorry for allowing my anger to control me in the theft of the cash box of the Lihu‘e bowling alley, and I would like to do all that I can in helping out the homeless and less fortunate in the Lihu‘e area.
I am very sorry about all the pain I have inflicted upon you in the theft of that cash box. I am hoping that in helping the homeless and less fortunate, I will help in overcoming that action.
At least going to prison got me cleaned, sober and thinking about others. And I thank you for all that help.

Not all people love your roaming dogs
“Mother’s Day” our family went to Poli Hale “Queens Pond.” There were lots of families along with their dogs (10-12) enjoying the beautiful day.
For the most part the dog owners were being responsible and keeping their pets secured. My friend and I had taken a walk and were walking back along the waters edge. We noticed up ahead three pit bulls at the waters edge unsecured with their owners about 100 yards away.
Because of their aggressive nature we were very reluctant to try and walk by these dogs. So we stopped and waited and eventually the dogs wandered up to their owner. As we continued on we could not believe someone would let three pit bulls or even one pit bull roam freely on the beach.
Next thing we know the biggest pit bull was walking straight towards our day camp. We had two dogs secured as well as two six year olds and two one year olds. All of a sudden the pit bull charged at the two secured dogs with the children right there.
A huge dog fight started with growling, biting, barking, us screaming trying to get the children out of harms way. The father of the one year old was trying to pull the pit bull off his dogs while holding his child in his arms. The mother was trying to pull her dogs away by their leashes and ropes while the pit bull was shaking and biting her dog. Very scary!
The owner of the pit bull was coming toward us but not fast enough. I yelled at him to hurry up and get his dog off the other dogs. When the fight was over we were very lucky that the children were safe and the injuries to the secured dogs weren’t serious. We were quite shaken up for some time.
The reason we have laws and rules regarding pets in public is to protect the public as well as the pets. I don’t understand the dog owner mentality that thinks their dogs deserve to run free, especially the aggressive breeds that are know to attack other animals and people.
This might come as a shock to a lot of dog owners, but not all people love dogs or even like them. Some people are downright afraid of them. So when you let your dogs roam freely thinking people will want to pet them or clean up after them or for whatever reason think twice. I wouldn’t take my 1-year-old grandson over to your yard and let him do his business on your lawn without cleaning it up.
These situations are not the dog’s fault, it’s the owners. So please, we beg you, be more responsible for your own pets. How would you have felt if one of these children had been mauled by your dog? You need to think more proactively “if it can happen it will!”
