The Salty Staff Officer

Large brush fire burning by JBPHH West Loch @HawaiiNewsNow

Hot takes like this remind me of ops meetings where buzzwords get thrown around to justify a course of action no one understands, and everyone goes along with it because they’re too afraid to ask for a definition. I doubt most people who reposted this can define ‘neo-feudalism’

@words_frm_pele @KHONnews 😂 you do realize that no 100% Hawaiian bloodlines exist? Show me your ancestry paperwork. But I’d expect no less from someone who only knows how to retweet pro-Putin garbage

"The people want this," proposed bill will prevent foreigners from buying land in Hawaii: khon2.com/local-news/sho…

@KHONnews “So argue the unconstitutionality all you want, this is the right thing to do,” Senator Awa stated. Really? That’s who we want representing the people? Someone who doesn’t care about constitutional law and opens up the state to massive liability (to further drain tax dollars?)

@eviljunglelord @StarAdvertiser I’m gonna guess you’re not a Constitutional scholar, but barring land ownership based on state residency violates the equal protection and due process guaranteed under the Constitution (preventing discrimination based on race, ethnicity, color, alienage, and national origin)

These are the protected classes for Fair Housing: race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), disability, familial status, national origin State residency is not one of them. Great idea! Exactly what we need here. Residential housing is for housing - not for investments. If you own more than 2-3 rentals, that’s a business and should be taxed at a higher rate. That’s

Only current and former residents would be allowed to purchase homes under a proposed House Republican bill. ⤵️ 808ne.ws/49euzZH #HInews #StarAdvertiser

@frostycwo Retreat? Hell!

Need a slogan for a political candidate who's a retired Soldier. Who is me. Thoughts? Feel free to make suggestions. I'll take snide comments as long as you understand that they probably won't be used. 🤣

@MajorVictory6 My guess is it’s the same reason I lost all my awards and certificates from iPERMs during the IPPS-A transition….some W4s probably got deleted or jacked up lol

If I win I can pay off all the back taxes I owe the IRS from never checking my LES and assuming DFAS is doing the right thing…

@nicksortor @mattgaetz @RepMattGaetz Gaetz is a frat boy clown throwing a temper tantrum. His efforts to shut down the gov will ultimately cost the Republicans votes and make the party look weak

🚨 JUST IN: Kevin McCarthy SCREAMED at @MattGaetz to "SIT DOWN" when he grabbed a microphone to speak the the Republican conference this morning, according to Axios YOU sit down, Kevin. You've been fired. THE PEOPLE are behind @RepMattGaetz, and we're sure as hell NOT going to "sit down." KEEP STANDING UP FOR US MATT!

@StillNotanMP Nay. Lighting isn’t flattering and the background is too distracting. Usually professional photographers are pretty cheap for headshots since it’s only 1/2 hour of work. If you’re determined to take them, send me DM and I can give you some lighting tips.

I didn’t want a 9-5 job so I joined the Army. Now I work 24/7.

Let’s see how Troops in Hawaii are doing. Ah no COLA and empty shelves in the commissary… Cool cool.

Playing with volcanos is definitely a perk of this job #Kilauea #Hawaii

What’s a GIF that represents what you do for a living?

Not mentioned in the article: the fight between self-deploying Navy SEALs and properly tasked Navy Salvage divers on who is better suited for the task, all mediated by the US Coast Guard 🤣 defenseone.com/policy/2023/08…

@EODHappyCaptain Bonus points: they hold up in motorcycle crashes too. Ask me how I know 🤦‍♂️

I don’t make it a habit of endorsing specific products on here, but I’m on my third pair of C320 boots, and they are amazing. Light, breathable, and no real break-in time. I’m in FL and my feet get hot, so these are awesome.
