Up until March 2, 2022, I had been to 49 states and two American territories – including Puerto Rico, where I came into this earthly existence in 1984 on a military base. I had not added a new state since 2019, when I knocked North Dakota and Minnesota off my checklist on the same day during a business trip in my former life as a traffic control devices salesman – back when we thought everything was on track and were willfully ignorant of Fourth Turnings. The state that eluded me for 37 years, 3 months, and 14 days was none other than the most distant state from the U.S. mainland – Hawaii.
There is no better day to tell tales of my journeys to Hawaii, where I have now traveled four separate times in only 21 months, than Pearl Harbor Day. 82 years ago today, a Japanese sneak attack on our mid-Pacific naval staging base claimed the lives of over 2,400 Americans and caused critical damage to our Pacific fleet that they knew was critical to America’s ability to win a two-front war. This article is not intended to debate false flags or alternate theories – many American heroes died that day and lay entombed in the wreckage today. I saw the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial on March 3, 2022, on a trip with a veteran and his family:
I have been adamant that Hawaii is likely the fifth closest state in a clean 2020 election, won by Joe Biden by no more than 5.0% - keeping with its traditional lean as extremely pro-incumbent (George W. Bush is the only incumbent to win reelection without carrying Hawaii) and reflecting a 51% gain in votes by Donald Trump – the highest in the country in 2020 excepting Utah, which has an artificially high percentage gain thanks to the third party scam pulled in 2016 and consolidation of the Republican vote. Instead, Biden managed to outperform Barack Obama for net new votes in Hawaii in the same election Trump was cleaning it up with that aforementioned gain.
Corinne Solomon of Audit the Vote Hawaii fame organized my first trip to Hawaii that March. I stayed in Honolulu, on Oahu, the most populated island, and the event was inland a solid hour with traffic at a small place called Wahiawa – near Schofield Barracks. That’s me (below) before that first event, where I met the Cushnies, Ralph and Laura, from Kauai. They would be instrumental in bringing me back out three months later for an island-hopping good time.
Corinne took me to see some well-known points in Honolulu, including Waikiki Beach, where some memorable photos were captured by Andy Crossland, who is a fantastic videographer on Oahu who frequents patriot events. As if we needed further proof that Hawaii isn’t the 30-point Democrat cesspool is it portrayed at, the photo below received nothing but grins and “thumbs up,” and I can’t recall a single ugly glare sent my way. Maybe it was the vest.
That first event was an overview of the 2020 election in Hawaii, and it raised many eyebrows and caught the attention of local press. You can see the full video of it here, captured by Andy in all its splendor. Candidates came from the other three major islands to see it and jockey for position as election integrity candidates for the 2022 primaries.
To make better use of my time and carbon footprint, three events were planned for my June visit to the islands. As you can imagine, travel to and from Hawaii is a chore for a big man – first class tickets are very expensive, but I was fortunate to find a second tier of seating that gave a similar experience to an exit row. This time, I took my oldest daughter, Eden (10 at the time), along for the ride. We zipped over to LAX the night before the trip across the Pacific to shorten the trip, and caught a nonstop to Lihue, Kauai, the next morning and met up with the Cushnies, who put us up at a hotel in Poipu and gave me a truck to ride around with during our stay.
I took her to Waimea Canyon, showed her around the island, and the two of us even jumped a 40’ cliff on Shipwrecks Beach, proving that she is just as much of a thrill seeker as her father. I even caught the sunburn of a lifetime:
The Cushnies own a construction company on Kauai and are committed patriots who have made strides in election integrity with very little fertile ground to do so. They have identified countless impermissible registrations and forced local government to acknowledge and seek remedy for many known issues and are pillars of their community. Our event was at Kahili Mountain Park, and again, many local leaders made an appearance – some to show up, and others to feign interest. Of note, Kauai County contains the precinct of Niihau, “the Forbidden Island” that is 100% Native Hawaiian, that voted 43-0 for incumbent President Donald J. Trump – perhaps because it was inaccessible to ballot harvesters and not able to be manipulated with fraudulent voter registrations.
After Kauai, Eden and I flew the entire 20-minute marathon flight back over to Honolulu, where we linked up with Corinne for a candidate panel at the Oahu Veterans Center, which had nearly every major Republican candidate for office there. They were grilled for a solid hour by me, mostly on election integrity, after I had presented for an hour beforehand. You can see that panel, and the grandiose answers given, here.
That is Seaula “Junior” Tupai standing and speaking at my panel above. He sought and won the Republican nomination for Lieutenant Governor in the primary and did so largely on his populist vision for Hawaii, embracing of MAGA, and his steadfast determination to rid the islands of widespread election corruption. I was so impressed with Junior that I endorsed him for that primary over another sincere candidate; unfortunately, when Duke Aiona, a Republican establishment lifer, came away with the nomination for Governor, Junior moderated his tone on elections – and when I say moderated, I mean he drove it to complete extinction. His endorsement is the only one I’ve ever formally rescinded, though I have regretted quite a few.
The tour concluded with one last stop on the “Big Island,” Hawaii, for a candidate panel in Hilo including many of the names from Oahu, and some local or statewide candidates who didn’t make the first. Governor candidate and former MMA champion B.J. Penn took part in this panel and thought he would try to kick my assfor asking hard questions:
The fight never happened.
In March of this year, with Hawaii pushing for Ranked Choice Voting, another left-wing scam, I came back in – this time appropriately attired with my Hawaiian shirt substituting grenades for pineapples:
I paid the Cushnies another visit, and we did an event in Lihue calling for locals to stand up and get involved locally and the Ten Points to True Election Integrity. That was just a quick trip to Kauai, and after just 36 hours on the ground, I was off to Oahu to rail on Ranked Choice Voting. You can find that presentation here – and, by the way, Ranked Choice Voting did not come to pass in Hawaii this year thanks to the efforts of local patriots who haven’t given up the fight.
While I was in Hawaii for that last round of election events, I realized it was less expensive to take three kids to Spring Break in Honolulu than it was to take them to Florida, Arizona, or somewhere in the Caribbean. So I did what any smart Dad would do – I used up all of my airline miles to execute a breakneck touch and gooperation from Honolulu to Dallas to Honolulu, all in about 28 hours – and shared the greatness of Hawaii with them as a complete surprise.
That’s what life is all about. Adventures, making a difference, and forging a path to brighter futures. Hawaii is worth fighting for, and no matter how impossible that task may seem given the latest coverup of what has happened with Maui – there are those doing the hard work.

My trip to Hawaii, vicariously through your picture album, was so much fun! Loved seeing the kids, but that sunburn hurt my body!
Thanks for sharing! Love how we’re able to have such purpose in each of your trips. I was honored to be able to visit the USS ARIZONA on a Memorial Day years ago. Solemn and reverent experience.
