King Kamehameha Day 2026

King Kamehameha I

Another no-holiday holiday has come and gone. No detours and no change in the routine, thank Molech. In other words, same ol’ shit. Well, the situation could be worse, and will be soon, primarily because of “Orange Bad Man” and the fool’s continuation of the Ramadan War. Credit must be given the leadership of Iran for exhibiting extreme patience.

The Apple® WWDC event was of no personal interest. The focus was on the “improved” voice assistant, Siri AI, and other AI bullshit. Thus, the iPhone 16 Pro and Watch Series 9 will be deployed for at least another year. Since Apple® Intelligence will continue to be disabled on all personal devices, there’s no need for any new hardware. The MacBook Neo, of course, has hardware limitations, so the AI bullshit for the latter is moot.

The weather abruptly changed yesterday to a heatwave. The ambient temperature is almost unbearable, even with the modest trade winds. Thus, the brief afternoon outing to the International Marketplace may have to be moved to a time later in the afternoon. Loitering in the shopping mall has long been discontinued. Shopping at Target® is the sole purpose.

A small Figment® food container ($4.20 clearance sale) and a Room Essentials® dinner plate (50 cents) were procured this week at Target® in addition to the usual food products. So far, no non-perishable foods have been purchased for the upcoming “shock to the system” caused by the “Orange” clown.

So far, the new diet has remained consistent. There have been no deviations. So, no ice cream, no chocolate candy, no blueberry muffins, no fast food crap. There may never be any deviation until health conditions improve significantly. Oh well.

Addendum: The second follow-up appointment of June 12th at the Ohua Clinic was rescheduled for August 3rd. The new appointment will likely be rescheduled again. The visit is pointless since none of the costly laboratory tests have been done.

From many different sources, the upcoming “oil shock” crisis is slated to commence as early as the end of this month. In addition to oil, the availability of liquid natural gas (LNG), fertilizers, and aluminum will be severely impacted. What is truly amazing is that the “Epstein class” is allowing the full depletion of global strategic reserves just to maintain the façade of status quo until the very end.

Here in Waikiki, the tourist industry is booming. There have been no reductions in airline flights in and out of the islands. One would be hard pressed to believe that the upcoming crisis is just a few weeks away.

Incidentally, all necessities are imported to the islands. All oil and petroleum products are shipped in. The only oil refinery here was shuttered years ago. Electricity is generated by oil burning plants. So, no oil, no electricity. All food is imported. No cargo ships, no food. The only diary farm was phased out years ago. Parker Ranch still raises cattle, but not at the capacity of a few decades ago. Kona coffee, macadamia nuts, pineapple, and some mango and papaya will not sustain the local population.

At present, the personal survival plan is to maintain a variety of perishable food in the refrigerator in the mausoleum (in the “old folks home” in Waikiki). Most likely, an inventory of canned goods and non-perishable food will be purchased in the coming weeks to insure sustenance for at least a month. Hopefully, that will be enough to last until transportation out of the islands is possible.

The “markets” are still fully assuming that Iran will capitulate and surrender to “Orange Bad Man.” Yeah, fat chance! The majority of the population in empire, including Hawai’i, are oblivious to the current situation, which means that, if the crisis unfolds horrifically, there will be anarchy and chaos of an order never seen before.

In the meantime, there has been no change in the usual routine. Well, actually, stopping over at Ala Moana Center in the morning has been reinstated, but only for 30 minutes. The workouts at the gym remain the same. The one-hour (read: two 30-minute) workouts have been physically taxing. The diet remains the same, too. The goal is still to perform a natural health recovery. The upcoming crisis may affect the availability of medications, so the best option is to not be dependent on them. Is anyone else preparing for the crisis? Apparently not.

Addendum: Both Larry Johnson and Pepe Escobar have revealed that confirmed sources have verified that the Islamic Republic of Iran has a prototype thermonuclear device (configured as a “demonstration” model) and/or a functional bomb. If so, Orange” and Benzion Mileikowsky have really “fucked up.”

Miscellany: The Target® Circle 360® “freebie” for the month of June was a package of M&S Percy Pig® gummy candy. Yum!

Unexciting Stories - 8

Unexciting stories … sporadic news and commentary of no interest to anyone. Mundanity is always the primary focus. Let the unexcitement begin …

Last week, the monthly Target® Circle 360® “freebie,” a credit of $5 applied to any Threshold® merchandise, was used to acquire a nice stainless steel butter knife. In addition, a quaint Room Essentials® LED task lamp was purchased for $8 (not on sale), also from Target®.

The butter knife has already been put to good use. The breakfast fare has been modified again. Now, Orowheat® whole grain wheat bread with organic chunky peanut butter is the main course. The new butter knife is used to spread the peanut butter on the bread. The peanut butter has only one ingredient … organic peanuts. Greek yogurt is still a breakfast staple.

The new task lamp will be used instead of the extremely bright fluorescent and incandescent lights installed in the mausoleum in the “old folks home” in Waikiki. The latter will come in handy whenever the MacBook Neo is unboxed and deployed.

The Beats® Studio Pro headphones also remain in its original box. There is now a desire to sell the latter in order to cut the loss rather than giving it away. The AirPods Pro 2 is obsolete, so it essentially has no value. The Up&Up® blood pressure monitor, however, has been given away to a fortunate recipient.

The weather in the islands has been marginal for over a week with gusty winds and sporadic precipitation. The trusty umbrella must be packed in the gym bag daily.

Every day, a new record is set for tourist arrivals. Waikiki is nearly at 100% occupancy. The majority of tourists are Asian. So, the reports of shortages of aviation fuel in Asia is obviously bullshit. There are also myriad Europeans. So, no aviation fuel shortage in Europe either.

Another no-holiday holiday has come and gone. The recognition of that holiday is now of no consequence. The military wing of empire currently only serves to protect the Zionist enclave in the Levant as evidenced by the Ramadan War. Thus, the Zionists and “Orange Bad Man” can observe and celebrate the non-event for themselves. So say we all.

On a side note, there have only been a handful of atrial fibrillation events since April 29th, all with a duration of only one or two seconds. No other metrics could be determined during the short intervals. Notched t-waves still occur sporadically with no indication of what the trigger could be. The modified diet and the increased cardio workouts at the gym could actually be the key to heart rehabilitation. No effort has been made to follow up on any of the lab test referrals from the Ohua Clinic.

11 Men 8 Sip

The one-hour cardio workouts at the gym have continued daily since its inception. So far, there have been no negative effects. In fact, the resulting physical fatigue has been quite welcome. Quality of sleep may have improved slightly as well. The regimen will continue, although a reduction on certain days is an option for recovery.

A chance encounter with neighbor Ignacio occurred on Thursday last week at the “old folks home” in Waikiki. A brief chat ensued in the entrance lobby. Ignacio was transported by ambulance to the hospital a couple of weeks ago. He’s lost 25 pounds in weight. The food passes right through him almost immediately. For some reason, the hospital discharged him after five hours. Ignacio is in an even worse state-of-mind since the previous encounter. He has already been given last rites by a priest to insure his entrance to “Heaven.”

The self-guided stress (and anxiety) management has been somewhat effective. The protocol is fairly simple. Any thought (e.g., death anxiety, intolerance for stupidity) is immediately mummified. No mindfulness steps are taken. Just mummification. Unfortunately, events such as the encounter with Ignacio take a real toll on the psyche.

Haircuts at the Institute of Hair Design have realized a 20% increase in cost for the service. Food prices at Target® are also increasing, with many food products now continuously out of stock. This is, of course, just the beginning.

The Ramadan War, which is slated to restart with a week or so, is responsible for the tremendous global financial dislocations. Inflation appears to remain controlled because the “markets” are “pricing in” the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Well, the Strait of Hormuz is not going to reopen and operate as it did before the Ramadan War. Those days are so over.

“Orange Bad Man” and his Zionist handlers have really “fucked up.” Once the Ramadan War restarts, the situation will be complete FUBAR. “Orange” has failed with immigration control, tariffs, and every other thought-free policy. Of course, maybe he didn’t fail insofar as the Great Re-shit (read: “Great Reset”) is concerned.

At this point in time, this Summer is when the “shit hits the fan.” Global strategic oil reserves should be irreversibly depleted. Food shortages will become prominent as fertilizer stocks deplete. Hyperinflation is highly probable along with increased social unrest. All that thanks to fucktard “Orange.” What a maroon!

Addendum: A moratorium has been invoked on divestment of personal possessions. Only the receipt redemption products (coffee mugs and reusable shopping bags) from the ABC Store will be gifted. In a few more months, nothing will be economically replaceable because of fucktard “Orange.”

Cinco de Mayo 2026

No celebration. No cerveza. No fun. That’s Cinco de Mayo 2026 in a “nutshell.” The big news, though, is that the full deployment of Apple® Pay has been successful. All charge transactions are accomplished with the Wallet “app.“ The iPhone 16 Pro is now indispensable. The new credit card arrived on Monday, but it will never leave the mausoleum in the “old folks home” in Waikiki.

The morning loitering sessions in the Makai Market in Ala Moana Center have been completely suspended ever since the theft of the credit card. Coupled with the abbreviated afternoon outings to the International Marketplace, that means more time is spent in total isolation in the mausoleum.

The new focus on the cardio portion of the gym workouts has been somewhat successful. On Sunday, a new milestone was reached … one hour on the elliptical machine. During the first 30 minutes, the incline was set to the default. During the second half, the incline was raised to two notches below maximum. Resistance is still being cautiously keep at about 75 percent of previous levels. Cardio rehabilitation will continue. Weight workouts remain the same.

The Watch Series 9 has been discovered to not track heart rate during the cardio workouts on the elliptical machine, likely because of the exaggerated arm movements. Most likely, the Fitness “app” must be enabled (which is unlikely to occur).

Salads from the ABC Store have become a mainstay for dinners (when the 20% expiry discount is available). Previously, a Healthy Choice® Power Bowl frozen meal would supplement the salad. To cut expenses, the latter will no longer apply. The salad should be sufficient. The receipts from the ABC Store have been redeemed for coffee mugs and reusable plastic shopping bags, which will ultimately be given away as gifts.

Psyllium is still being taken as a fiber supplement. Ultima Replenisher® is consumed in the morning, prior to breakfast, to hydrate and maintain electrolytes.

Sleep quality continues to be marginal. Wakings are still frequent with elaborate, albeit bizarre, dreams occurring prior to the wakings. The sleep schedule has been altered. Early morning risings (around 6am) have moved sleep time to commence about 30 minutes earlier the night prior.

Listening to music has made a comeback during the lull in the Ramadan War. The AirPods Pro 2 are being deployed exclusively. The goal is to completely degrade the batteries so the device can be recycled. So far, though, after two years of ownership, battery degradation has been near zero.

Listening to music has been limited to about one hour per session. Apparently, sufferers of tinnitus should limit earbuds and headphones sound exposure to prevent further hearing damage. The “ringing” in the ears is already pretty bad.

The MacBook Neo and Beats® Studio Pro headphones still remain in their original boxes. The final disposition of both the former and latter is unknown given the likely prospect of “keeling over” at any moment.

Addendum: Be sure to download and read the entire essential Fascist library! The whole Fascist plan is right there in the open. One new document added.

Miscellany: The UpScrolled and Smiling Mind accounts have been mummified.

Credit & Death

On Wednesday, another atrial fibrillation event occurred at 12:30pm during the cardio workout on the elliptical machine at the gym. The duration was 1.25 hours and peak heart rate was 135bpm.

There have been odd short-term palpitations occurring daily as well. There is clearly something wrong with the heart. Submission to the multiple lab tests will be a “necessary evil,” although the cost will be high. Of course, with the on-going crisis in the Levant, a global financial apocalypse may be imminent. There may not be any funds available for medical expenses when hyperinflation explodes.

Frankly, at this point in time, the possibility of an early death is increasing. The general feeling is that a “keel over” event is likely to occur within five years or sooner. Perhaps that is why there has been an overwhelming inclination to divest all personal possessions.

On Thursday, the one and only credit card was stolen due to personal negligence. The theft most likely occurred during the stopover at Ala Moana Center in the morning. The discovery of the missing credit card was made while attempting to complete a transaction at Target® in the International Marketplace later in the afternoon.

A call was immediately made to Chase® to report the theft and order a new credit card. The service representative indicated that over $5,000 in purchases were attempted by the thief at various retailers in Ala Moana Center. The charges were declined by Chase® as the latter were deemed suspicious. Fortunately, the Hawai’i driver’s license, senior citizen bus pass, and iPhone 16 Pro were not stolen.

The new credit card will not arrive for several days, so cash must be withdrawn from the local bank. However, the new card appeared in the Chase® “app” on the iPhone. The new card was then successfully added to the Apple® Wallet “app,” so it must already be operational. However, cash will probably be used until the new plastic card arrives.

From this point forward, the wallet with driver’s license and credit card will no longer be carried during the daily itinerary. The transition to the digital wallet will be permanent.

Addendum: There was some consideration about adding the Hawai’i driver’s license to the Wallet “app.” The idea was quickly mummified. There is no way that the unlocked iPhone would be handed to the so-called “authorities” under any circumstance.

Postscript: A final decision was made to embrace Apple® Pay and begin using it immediately for all purchase transactions. There will be no transition using cash.

Earth Day 2026

The weather finally changed for the better on Thursday last week and culminated in the hottest day so far on Earth Day 2026 (Wednesday). The mausoleum in the “old folks home” in Waikiki is nearly unbearable even with air conditioning.

The daily itinerary and routine remains the same. The only change is a shift to increase the duration and intensity of the cardio workouts at the gym. The past few months of the modified workouts have taken a toll on the mind and body as well as morale.

Petrol is now $6 per gallon on average, just 50 cents more than prior to the Ramadan War. Food prices have increased about 10 percent on select products, otherwise mostly stable. The number of tourists is increasing daily, so there’s no global shortage of aviation fuel.

The MacBook Neo and Beats® Studio Pro remain in their original boxes. Currently, there is some consideration about donating the Studio Pro headphones and AirPods Pro 2 earbuds to charity or to random acquaintances. The Ramadan War has made listening to music an undesirable activity.

Addendum: A self-guided stress and anxiety management regimen was initiated. So far, the results have been good. Tolerance for stupidity has improved, and death anxiety has waned. An attempt is also being made to embrace a more leisurely geriatric pace.

Rise O Holy Epstein!

On Sunday, another atrial fibrillation event occurred at 3:10pm just a few minutes after arriving back in Waikiki from town. The event occurred while simply sitting in the mausoleum in the “old folks home.” An attempt was made to remain stationary until the event subsided, to no avail. The symptoms ceased during the brief excursion to the International Marketplace. The duration of the event was one hour, with peak heart rate clocked at 135bpm.

The MacBook Neo has been repacked into its original box. There’s no telling when it will be unboxed again. The Beats® Studio Pro headphones are still boxed as well. The AirPods Pro 2 is still collecting dust. Only the Watch Series 9 and the iPhone 16 Pro are currently active devices.

The remainder of the Doxepin HCL was donated to the community table on Sunday, the day that none of the management or cleaning staff are on duty. Sunday will be the only day for such donations since the management has explicitly banned the latter.

The weather in the islands continues to be marginal. Alas, the Spring season has been postponed for another week. The tourists are still flocking here in large numbers. Apparently, the repercussions of the failed war on Iran (i.e., Ramadan War) has not affected aviation fuel supplies and pricing.

Postscript: Kevin Barret provides probably the best summary of the state-of-affairs of “Orange Bad Man” on the Unz Review site. So, no personal commentary is necessary.

Unexciting Stories - 7

Unexciting stories … sporadic news and commentary of no interest to anyone. Mundanity is always the primary focus. Let the unexcitement begin …

On Sunday, another atrial fibrillation event occurred at 12:45pm during the cardio workout at the gym. All activity was ceased, and an attempt was made to remain stationary until the event subsided. The duration of the event was five minutes as a result, with peak heart rate clocked at 122bpm.

On Monday afternoon, the follow-up appointment at the Ohua Clinic revealed that the cholesterol problem has worsened (as evidenced by the recent fasting bloodwork). Obviously, psyllium (and the modified diet) did absolutely nothing. The attending physician continues to press for statins to be prescribed. Reluctance to accept medication has then initiated referrals for two more blood tests for hyperlipidemia (apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein B) and a CT coronary calcium score (radiology).

None of the lab work is covered by Medicare Advantage, so the out-of-pocket costs will be high. In addition, the radiation stress test and ultrasound imaging lab work (for atrial fibrillation) are still in the queue. The total cost for everything will be $1,000 and possibly more.

The disgusting boil below the right shoulder blade was inspected. The boil was mostly healed, so there was nothing to drain. The attending physician diagnosed the boil as possibly being an epidermoid cyst. The latter could be surgically removed, but will most likely not be covered by Medicare Advantage.

The attending physician is being reassigned to different tasks, so a new attending physician has been designated for the next appointment in June. Frankly, this situation is out of control. All of the lab work and tests will only guarantee a lifetime of assorted prescription medications, some of which will not be covered by the lousy health insurance. And, of course, the worst part is the side effects. Is that even desirable?

The MacBook Neo has now been relegated to the status of a netbook (cheap consumption device). GarageBand and iMovie have been uninstalled since no content creation tasks are envisioned in the near future. No new “apps” will be installed. The only possible utility “app” that may be installed is WireGuard (for ProtonVPN).

Another storm arrived in the islands on Tuesday with lots of rain but no gusty winds. The storm is supposed to dissipate before the weekend.

Addendum: The attending physician also stated that, based on cholesterol levels, there is an 11% chance of suffering a heart attack or stroke within the next ten years. The risk assessment is probably based on available on-line tools. The irony, of course, is that high cholesterol has been a problem since the age of 20 years. Since psyllium (and the modified diet) had no effect on cholesterol levels, the culprit is likely to be liver damage (resulting from overconsumption of cheap booze for over 20 years since the late-teens). The liver controls cholesterol levels.

Miscellany: The OnyX utility “app” was uninstalled from the MacBook Neo. No “power user” tweaking is necessary for what is essentially a netbook.
