They are not letting the disaster go to waste.

They’ll never give the real number.

Never.

So where are all the elementary-aged kids?

Probably at a pedo distribution center.

children were either home alone or with grandparents since their parents were all at work.

At work??? It's leftist Hawaii and its not the 1950s.

We all know. Nobody, however, wants to talk about it. Understandable. But someone in an elected leadership position —such as the governor— must.

Its gotta be spontaneous human combustion. And this is caused, of coure, by ever present climate change.

The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate will say or do anything to cover up its crimes and incompetence so they can continue stealing.

Where are all the people in the nursing home? The death count is already catastrophic and the scary thing is that it could double or triple. All while Brandon is joking about his corvette.

PLEASE GOP, put me in charge of the campaign commercials

The truth is they have no idea how many people are missing because there is no way to gauge how many tourists were in Lahaina when the fire swept through. And in 2022, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Hawaii had the fourth highest homeless rate in the nation and most of them, I am told, were in Lahaina.


as far as tourists go someone is going to miss them in their home communities eventually.

OTOH many of the the homeless may never be missed

The Democrat party is the party of death for children. They must be celebrating.

Will Cain who has been to the city and whose son was Baptized in one of the churches that burnt down has said he believes the number of children dead is going to be high. The folks on the ground are giving a much different story than the government officials.

This is a terrible tragedy. Almost unimaginable. On the scale of 9-11 and it appears that it was caused by malfeasance of the State officials and democrat policies.

That is why there is so little coverage and why drone footage is blocked. The state officials are deflecting blame. The mainland leftist media & political class don’t want people to make the connections between inept management and irrational policies and their consequence.

They're gonna have to offer up the pagan dude who wouldn't release the water to the firefighting effort as a scapegoat - he is a good choice, after all but certainly there's plenty of blame to go around... mainstream news reporting not much at all, but a conspicuous exception is CBS news ran a story about a 14yo kid who got roasted alive in his mom's house, hugging his dog.

******g bastards. It all boils down to a mass crime against humanity. All they're doing now is arguing amongst themselves how to get their story straight, like "center fuel tank" or some hsit like that.

Maybe some of those Hawaiians who have always voted straight D are beginning to contemplate a change of some kind... Not that the R's inspire a whole lot of confidence either...

Oh, did someone say "2A"?

These are the harsh conseqences of putting lunatic Democrats in power. Coerced green energy fantasies and woke land management policies were the underlying cause of this disaster. Sorry but the people of Hawaii have avidly embraced the Democrats and their agenda. Suffering comes with their choices.

The tragic fact is that searchers are no longer looking for bodies but should be sifting ashes for bones.

They may never have an accurate figure for the number of deaths, and the ‘missing’ will forever be rooted purely in conjecture.
