I strongly believe that everybody should stop speeding. You can be badly injured or die. You can get arrested or fined. Your insurance premiums could go higher. Lastly, it can become a bad habit. Speeding is a major factor in traffic deaths. I know someone who almost died because someone was speeding and ran a […]
Leadership is hard. Few politicians measure up to this crucial skill set. It requires courage and hard choices to stand up against politically connected special interest money or those with woke thinking. Our elected leaders need to focus on our ohana.
CNN Opinion by Mark Hannah (CNN) — The $95 billion military aid package President Joe Biden signed Wednesday was a feat of tough-minded negotiation to get funding to Ukraine and Israel after months of congressional horse-trading.

I have been totally unsuccessful in finding a recycling facility that will take bottle and jar glass not covered by Hawaii’s Glass Advance Disposal Fee Program (ADF) and Deposit Beverage Container Program (HI-5).

In response to Tuesday’s letter regarding Turo autos using city streets for business (“Turo rental cars begin to roil isle communities,” Star-Advertiser, April 23), I live in an apartment complex that fronts Bougainville Drive.

I was thinking of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, who corresponded frequently but met only once: ‘The present racial crisis in this country carries within it powerful destructive ingredients that may soon erupt into an uncontrollable explosion,’ More
Fox News host Laura Ingraham shows how former President Trump can put President Biden's record "on trial" as the NY vs. Trump case takes center stage on "The Ingraham Angle." LAURA INGRAHAM: An impartial observer knows that the New York media is doing everything it can to influence the jury.

That, however, was not the case when she was trying out to play Martha in Netflix's surprise hit series "Baby Reindeer." "I really kind of fought for it," she said in a video interview this week. "I really thought, if this gets into the wrong hands and it ever gets played by an actress who sees her as scary, or plays a kind of crazy version of a stalker, I think you'd absolutely ruin what is...

To the editor: I purchased my home in the San Gabriel Mountains community of Wrightwood in 2017. Since then, I've been insured through AAA. ("Amid homeowner insurance crisis, consumer advocates and industry clash at hearing," April 24) Last week, I received notice of non-renewal because of wildfire risk.
