It's TikTok... the placed where crazies go to scream and do stupid shit.
Videos like that are targets for normalfags that browse that shit, which they easily get suckered into believing.

California ships its homeless to Hawaii and other blue states that haven't rotted out as badly as they have. Basically doses them up on meds, cleans them, gives them some money, stuffs them on a plane to Honolulu airport and lets them melt into the homeless here.
It's been happening here since the 90s. Seen it first hand at work. Fuck. Next couple of weeks are going to be busy.

I heard Maui has some new land to hold all the homeless in, including the locals. I remember hearing rumors from locals that some hotels in the downtown areas used to pay homeless to go to the forest during the day and only come out at night. Haven't been able to confirm it though!

There are multiple videos of some guy harassing the same Middle Eastern street vendor on social media. People wanted to find out who he is. Turns out he's a former Obama White House advisor. Stuart Seldowitz.

So, how come the natives don't go Total Haole Death at this point? Poor Haoles keep coming in and Rich Haoles let their historic city turn to ash.

Former State Dept. Official Recorded Harassing Halal Food Cart Vendor
The New York Times (archive.ph)
By Hurubie Meko
2023-11-22 04:05:12GMT
A former State Department employee and national security official was recorded on video harassing a halal food vendor in Manhattan in recent weeks, calling the man a “terrorist.”
The former official, Stuart Seldowitz, was recorded in several videos posted on X, also known as Twitter, taking pictures of the vendor and berating him with Islamophobic comments. After a brief back-and-forth about children being killed, Mr. Seldowitz tells the man: “If we killed 4,000 Palestinian kids, you know what? It wasn’t enough.”
The vendor, who has not been identified, is heard on the videos asking Mr. Seldowitz to “please go” and saying that he would call the police.
The police said on Tuesday night that no reports had been filed against Mr. Seldowitz, but they confirmed that the commanding officer of the 19th Precinct was aware of the videos and that precinct personnel were monitoring the situation.
Recordings of the encounters spread online at a time when tensions have intensified between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian groups across the country since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7.
The tensions have been particularly acute in New York City, where there have been almost daily demonstrations and increases in both anti-Islamic and antisemitic hate crimes.
The video clips posted online show Mr. Seldowitz returning to the same location over several days — once at night and twice during the day — and each time refusing to leave.
He’s heard saying in one clip, “It’s a free country — it’s not like Egypt.” In the same clip, Mr. Seldowitz calls the vendor “ignorant” for not speaking English before continuing to make derisive comments about Islam's founder, the Prophet Muhammad.
The videos do not show any comments by the vendor or interactions that occurred before the clips start. Efforts to reach the vendor at his cart on Tuesday were unsuccessful.
According to Mr. Seldowitz, who said in a phone interview on Tuesday that he had not seen the videos, the episodes started after he asked the vendor if he was Egyptian. As the conversation progressed, the man expressed support for Hamas, Mr. Seldowitz said, though no such claims are captured on any of the videos that have been made public
“At that point, I got rather upset and I’ve said things to him, that in retrospect, I probably regret, though — that I do regret,” Mr. Seldowitz said. “Instead of focusing in on him and what he said, I expanded into insulting his religion and so on.”
When asked why he had continued to return to the vendor, Mr. Seldowitz said he had wanted to ask if the man was “still a supporter of Hamas,” adding that “I was upset at the fact that he was selling food in a neighborhood in New York.”
Despite being captured on video calling the religion’s holy figure “a rapist” several times, Mr. Seldowitz insisted that he was not Islamophobic.
“I’ve worked with Muslims,” he said, adding, “I have many people who are Muslims and Arabs and so on, who know me very well and who know that I’m not prejudiced against them.”
On Tuesday night, it was a busy scene in front of the cart, which sits steps from the 83rd Street exit of the 86th Street Q subway station. Despite the rain, crowds would intermittently emerge from the subway and form a short line of hungry travelers.
A man working in the cart, who did not want to give his name but said he was not the vendor in the videos, said he himself had encountered Mr. Seldowitz once last week and had called the police. The police came after 30 minutes, he said, but left, saying they couldn’t do anything. Since then, the man said, Mr. Seldowitz had returned twice and was recorded by the other vendor.
Mr. Seldowitz said he had held several positions in both Democratic and Republican administrations, including acting director for the National Security Council South Asia Directorate and a post in the U.S. State Department’s Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs. He no longer holds any government positions, he said.
According to a November 2022 announcement by Gotham Government Relations, a Manhattan-based lobbying firm, Mr. Seldowitz was the group’s new foreign affairs chair. In a short biography that has since been taken down from the firm’s website, he is described as a three-time winner of the State Department’s Superior Honor Award.
According to David Schwartz, the firm’s president, Mr. Seldowitz was never an employee of Gotham Government Relations and was not registered — as far as Mr. Schwartz was aware — as a lobbyist for the firm.
“I’m personally outraged and offended by this language,” Mr. Schwartz said in a statement, adding, “Islamophobia and antisemitism have no place in our world and must be eradicated.”
Mr. Schwartz also said he wanted to offer legal representation, without charge, to the food vendor against the person who had “spewed such vile, hateful statements.”

There are places like that. Rural towns where if you're white you don't go after dark. Heck, even if you look like me, you don't hang around if you don't know people from there. Puna on the Big Island is probably the largest example. It's beautiful and fertile land, but essentially lawless. It's one of those places where you walk into a store or park and everyone gets quiet and looks at you. There's a lot of bodies stashed in lava tubes in the rainforest there.

It is neither groups interest to do a debate.
"Biden will totally have a dementia moment!" Dumb gamble to go into it when the moderators will gang up and attack you and call you a liar at all times. Also when the moderator will cut off and interupt Biden to stop and prevent that. Watch them cut off Bidens mike to stop it and then say it was them being fair when they cut Trumps mike.
What exactly would Trump gain by debating Biden?

I think that what made desantis do a 180 is his wife's breast cancer, he probably made a deal with the devil in order for better treatments. Still makes him a lying snake that I would never vote for but more understandable.

Something just clicked with me that I hadn't seen anyone observe, but it has to do with all the adblock banning that YT is doing recently...
Why now? Why would YouTube decided now of all times to put their foot down on adblockers?
Follow me on this...
We were given warnings of this adblock stuff as early as June of 2023. However, coincidentally, it wasn't until the end of October that YouTube really started kicking things into gear. Guess what happened about one week after all this adblock banning?
The 2023 United States elections.
Specifically, The off-year elections which included gubernatorial and state legislative elections in a few states, as well as numerous citizen initiatives, mayoral races, and a variety of other local offices on the ballot. All of these were held, in large part, on Tuesday, November 7, 2023 (roughly one week before YT started blocking adblockers).
Part of the reason I know this is because while my home computer has an adblocker, my phone doesn't. Whenever I was browsing YT on my phone, I repeatedly got campaign ads. Always, the ads smeared the red candidate and uplifted the blue candidate. This got me thinking that YT didn't just arbitrarily just decided to start banning adblockers one day. They did it specifically to coincide with the off-year elections.
Fingers crossed if they leave this alone for the better part of next year only to double down on it again, a week before Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

This has been happening for a VERY long time. IDK why people think some unregistered poor is easy to track especially if they travel via trains.
