Architecture Wednesday: Kalua Koi Road

For $5.3M you can own one of only a few built estates on 5.95 acres of land on the best stretch of Papohaku Beach, one of Hawaii’s largest white sand beaches, in Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.

The main home features an open plan living, dining and kitchen area that opens to a covered lanai and views of the beach and ocean. There are two oceanfront suites, each with a private bath, a plunge pool, expansive, Ipe hardwood decking, Fleetwood windows and doors, and custom architectural woodwork throughout. There is also a guest cottage with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and storage lofts, a pool cabana for entertaining, a 15’ x 40’ heated saltwater swimming pool and a separate 3-car garage with an attached rec room.

The property is powered by photovoltaic solar and offers 4,754 square feet of interior living space—in the two dwellings—plus nearly 5,000 square feet of lanais. A mature orchard is planted with many fruit-bearing trees including lemon, tangerine, lime, grapefruit, starfruit, mango, avocado, orange, banana, and coconut.

Unplug and slow down as you meander, meditate and reflect, or stay connected with the fiber optic high-speed internet. Watch whales in the winter and brilliant summer sunsets over the ocean in this family compound, personal retreat, equestrian property, or create your own blue zone.

Embrace the joy of solitude and discover the peace and tranquility of Molokai’s sunny west end, just a 30 min flight from Maui or Oahu. Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and some of the richest waters in the Pacific, Molokai’s slower pace of life is an antidote to modern hustle and the return to a more conscious way of living.

These Bitches

Republicans are pigs; true, some Democrats are pigs, but for the most part it seems like a GOP trait.

For example …

Last week California Democrat Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a news conference and handcuffed by federal agents after he tried to ask Border Nazi Kristi Noem a question.

This week, in the very same building, Couchfucker JD Vance disparaged Mr. Padilla for engaging in “political theater” and purposely called him by the wrong name:

“Well, I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question, but unfortunately, I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn’t the theater. I think everybody realizes that’s what this is. It’s pure political theater.”

Says the Queen of Political Theater. And his use of ‘Jose’ when he must know Padilla’s real name unless he’s pathetically stupid and ill-informed, has a tinge of racism to it; Jose sounds more Latino than Alex.

And this from a  guy who was born James Donald Bowman  then became James David Hamel and finally J.D. Vance, though he subsequently changed that by leaving out the periods and going by JD Vance.

Maybe his issue with not remembering people’s names is that he’s had so many during his lifetime of reinventing himself.

Family Values Republican South Carolina State Representative, Christian, husband and father Robert John May III has been arrested for distributing over 200 child porn files using the pseudonym ‘joebidennnn69.’

He will remain in custody until his trial.

Odd, isn’t it, that the GOP spreads all kinds of rumors about Democrats and child porn, Democrats and homosexuality, Democrats and rape, when the truth is it’s almost always Republicans.

Faux Christian, or as I like to think of him, Nationalist Christian, AKA Nat-C, Mike Johnson is grateful that The Fascist Felon thanked “God” for the bombing of Iran and killing many innocent people.

Makes me wonder what kind of God  is happy to see people bombed into oblivion from just one side and not the other; and what kind of God is happy that we are bombing Iran in retaliation for Iran being bombed first by The Fascist Felon’s BFF—Best Fascist Friend—Bibi Netanyahu.

Oh, and it makes me wonder how God feels about Little Mike Johnson lying to America about Iran refusing to commit to a nuclear disarmament agreement. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA], AKA the Iran nuclear deal, was negotiated during the Obama administration as an agreement between Iran and several world powers aimed at limiting Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. In 2018, The Fascist Felon regime withdrew the US from the JCPOA and reimposed sanctions on Iran. 

So, we had a deal that The Felon ended and is now bombing Iran because they won’t make a deal?

Have I got that fascist?

We’ll end with the nastiest motherfucker of them all, if that’s possible these days: Mike Lee.

In the wake of the attempted assassination of Minnesota Democratic State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, and the assassination of Democratic House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, a week ago, Mike Lee because he’s a soulless party over country asshat of epic proportions went online to share his reaction to the shootings in posts to X that he tried to remove but will live on forever to remind us what a callous fuck Mike Lee is:

“This is what happens when Marxists don’t get their way.”

Accompanying this vile comment was a photo of the shooter Vance Boelter, wearing what appears to be a latex face mask.

And Mike Lee wasn’t done; he posted another picture of Boelter under the caption:

“Nightmare on Waltz Street.”

That is a reference to Minnesota governor and former Democratic nominee for vice-president, Tim Walz, who Mike Lee blamed for the shooting.

Mike Lee is the worst kind of politician and the people of Utah deserve to have better representation and if you reelect then you are saying you agree with his vile comment.

So, I guess that makes y’all Bitches.
