Situational Analysis | August 29, 2022 It's Monday and National Lemon Juice Day. When life gives you lemons, I hope it also gives you plenty of sugar for that lemonade you'll be making.... Be in the Know A marker sponsored by the National Collaborative for Women's History Sites was placed in the Iosepa Cemetery on Saturday, honoring native Hawaiian and Iosepa resident Hannah Kaaepa. Hannahâs great grand-daughter, Noelette Cardejon Poulsen, was the keynote speaker and spoke of Hannahâs determination and commitment to her church, to her family and to her native Hawaii. In 1899, Hannah addressed the National Council of Women and urged support of voting rights in the territory of Hawaii. The Justice Department on Friday released a heavily redacted version of the affidavit used to justify the search of Donald Trumpâs Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month. According to the document, the National Archives and Record Administration had recovered 184 documents with classification markings from Mar-a-Lago earlier in the year, including 67 marked âconfidential,â 92 marked âsecret,â and 25 marked âtop secret.â The affidavit alleged the government had probable cause to believe additional classified documents would be found on the premises, and that evidence of obstruction would be as well.
