“BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL,”
Yupdate.
One button? Pushed by “someone.” This debacle is going to get interesting. There’s a reason libs want to distract by blaming Trump. https://t.co/M0QGazNSz3

Yup.
VIDEO – Hawaii Emergency Mgmt.: Person Not Only Triggered Alert But They Also Pressed ‘Yes’ to Verify https://t.co/VzpD1vooFe

The person responsible for this has a fully protected government union job and will probably get a bonus for a job well done this year
an employee pushed the wrong button,” he said.
ya, speaking of buttons . . . .
So, do you think church attendance goes up tomorrow? Seriously. a lot of sympathy for those who thought they probably had only minutes to live. Not a nice feeling when the wolf is really at the door.
Anyone who complains about this sort of thing has lived a wonderfully sheltered life. This is a dangerous world, and when the all-clear sounds one should be grateful, not petulant.
get pants with zipper fly, button is so yesterday!!
An employee pushed the wrong button … JUST LIKE … A certain “mentally ill” POTUS has his finger on the button.
If there is ONE THING the Left does well … it’s political theatre. This was just Act IV … just before our FINAL Epilogue
I grew up during crap like this during the bad days of the USSR. Never lived anywhere that wasn’t a first strike target.
Now? The evils of the past come back to haunt us. Thanks to some feckless Presidents and other politicians, not to mention that sh$#hole called the UN, we now live under the true threat by really crazy jerks with nuclear weapons.
Boy, so much for progress.
Crying wolf.
That’s one….
The leftists are squawking about this as if it’s the first time this sort of thing happened. I remember hearing of a false attack alert nearly 40 years ago because someone at NORAD’s command centre put the wrong tape on a computer.
Good thing the stock markets weren’t open. That would have been really ugly.
Reality briefly bit into the Leftist narrative that Trump and conservatives are the greatest threat to America.
I have family members vacationing in Hawaii who say there was absolute chaos, with people fleeing hotels, hiding in culverts or anything below ground.
“This is not a drill” was the same expression used during the surprise attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbour.
Better a false alarm than a real attack.
From the people who produced Obama’s birth certificate: “Ballistic missile threat inbound…”
To preface, I absolutely appreciate everything you post here at SDA.
I would just like to modify, ” An employee pushed the wrong button … ”
to read, A Hawaiian state government employee pushed the wrong button,
Just to be sure that there isn’t any confusion that it was Trump, or the Trump administration, or a government employee that Trump may of hired.
The Hawaii State Government built an actual panic button, then accidentally presses it.
This isn’t a Federal mistake. It’s the fault of pants-shitting liberals.
CAPTCHA: Customer Tank
From those same folks who consistently deliver the mail to the wrong address — meh.
This is not a “mistake”. Its a preview of the fustercluck that will ensue when we have a real attack. Depending on the gummit to keep us secure has always been a chimera. I’m just happy that I live somewhere so obscure that even the residents often have trouble finding their way home.
Democrat paradise. What more is there to say?
If you want something doing right, NEVER give it to a Democrat to do.
We begin bombing in five minutes.
Exactly.
While this incident terrified everyone in Hawaii as Hawaiians all thought they were going to die today. A number of realities will or should result from this blunder.
First, the people hopefully will realize that security is not just an info item to be kicked around in the media and by ideological warring politicians.
Second, the Americans better make sure that their anti-missile missiles are on alert and functioning as intended.
Third, they better make sure that sloppy goofs are not near the buttons.
Fourth, there are at least two countries that would love to send nuclear missiles to the US if they could get away it. The volatile ME could well produce more potential enemies. Thinking of Pakistan.
I’m sure readers can think of more.
Democrat paradise indeed. It is a nice getaway place in the winter, but……
Tons of homeless in Oahu. But, easy to be homeless there, it’s never cold. Still, they are dirty , smelly, and are eyesores in the tourist areas.
Food is EXPENSIVE. We stayed in a condo, so had to shop for our basics. Still cheaper than restaurants, but expnsive basics.
Nannystate healthcare. Lots of police presence.
Nice place to visit, but happy to leave.
You may be right about church attendance increasing but I betcha Trump’s numbers will see a little bump, also.
Nothing like a sober dose of reality and experiencing the knee and bladder weakening effects of fear to make someone reassess their priorities. The smarter ones will be cursing the establishment politicians and the fact this N.Korea threat only exists due to decades of their inaction. I share your empathy that it was probably a terrifying experience for some.
Both the Dems and Reps have made such a horrible mess of American security itself that an outsider just snatched the Presidency from ALL OF THEM by doing little more than promising Americans that he would protect them from foreign evils. Think about it. That’s all Trump really had to do.
I told you so! … the ONLY thing the Left does well is demagogue and create political theatre. As for governance … look no futher than Obama’s (and Nancy’s) SIGNATURE achievement … Obamakkare. The designer of that crap sandwich even BRAGGED about lying to the American people.
The electorate is going to HAVE TO get smarter than to vote for something … because it … “sounds” … good. Wheeeee … FREE MEDICAL INSURANCE for EVERYONE!!! And your payments will be $2,500.00 LESS per year … and KEEP your own Doctor.
Political theatre … A+
Governance … D-
Political theatre … A+
Governance … F-(Fail)
Fixed that for you!
that is exactly why I live so far away from anywhere I need a map to get home.
I can tell you this was no “wrong button” mistake. Somebody in charge has to give the ok on something this big. I don’t know why they did it but it was no accident.
So… we’ll know when Hillary’s arrest is imminent by which alarms are set off, and by the degree of chaos.
Not doubting, just waiting.
Could this whole episode be a demonstration of a simulated warning for MSNBC journalists gone wrong. The procedure to send the warning requires 2 people present. Was the MSNBC reporter the second person.
Terrified Hawaiian Democrats now understand what Donald Trump meant by a Shithole country.
I agree 100%!! The one button theory comes from mid 1950’s black and white 16MM Civil Defense training films.
I don’t understand why everyone is attacking the State of Hawaii. Civil Defense is now under the wing of Homeland Security, a federal entity. Since the Cold War has ended, CD now includes all perils. The biggest peril the USA now faces is the idiot who has the key to the missile launch codes. Assuming he can remember what pocket they’re in.
“Could this whole episode be a demonstration of a simulated warning for MSNBC journalists gone wrong. ”
BINGO.
Someone suggested the system was hacked. That seems likely to me. Worrisome also.
A message to all my American neighbours.
Please place this man at the helm of your nation before it’s too late.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rex_Tillerson
Is that you urging the citizenry of one of our allies to depose their lawfully elected head of state and of government and replace him with the fourth in line of succession? Or do you mean you wish they may persuade Tillerson to run for the office at the next election?
Looks to me like the US federal government needs to take control over Hawaii. The State is clearly unable to operate like adults.
Is MSNBC guilty of manufacturing news? What’s the consequences for pulling the biggest fire alarm in the state for all the harm and anguish it caused?
This is a BIG DEAL…….A BIG DEAL. Incredibly incompetent or worse. Un. Freaking. Believable. People need to be fired, thrown in jail and investigated thoroughly. THIS IS A BIG DEAL.
TRUMP is POTUS.
For 8 years.
Try to get used to it, shut up and take it like a man
Track ’em Danno.
Agreed. People panicked, accidents happened, planes were diverted. Holidays were cancelled.
Hey I have a thought. If they want to make it more difficult for an accident like this to ever happen again, maybe Kate could send them her Captcha code.
🙂
My prediction is that Trump will be resigning before too long. That would of course that Spence would take over until an election was held. I would much prefer Tillerson than Spence, although I doubt that anyone could mess things up like Trump has, and that includes Homer Simpson.
The man who ran ExxonMobil could surely bring stability and order back to this troubled nation. I use the word troubled as in having elected the worst leader in American history.
I can’t believe that anyone could support a world leader that behaves like a mental patient from a circa 1950 mental institution. What’s his problem?? The frontal lobotomy failed or they gave him DDT instead of LSD?? The guy is a basket case.
What happened in Hawaii today may not (in the future) be a false alarm if Trump continues his insane behavior.
I have to take a break from SDA. 90% of what I see here is great. That 10% however that supports Trump has by blood pressure up!!
See you all in a while!!

Bon voyage!
And you are full of crap. This has nothing to do with Trump….and everything to do with the incompetence of Democrat jursidictions. They have lost touch with reality….as have you. Piss off, harlequin.
Just hope that MSNBC crew has no plans to “interview” anybody at the Nuclear Command and Control System.
Yup, some wonderful employee of that most high socialistic state known as Hawaii. This is the same state that has consistently fought against President Trump’s orders regarding just about everything.
Smoke another joint Sask. And watch Pravda, all the the time, where they will continue to fill your head with Lib Lefty BS 24/7.
My mutual funds say Trump is doing it right. My money has minimal Canadian exposure now, thanks to TRUMPs tax cuts, in many ways, and thanks to PM Twinkletoes, making Canaduh uncompetitive. Made my financial choices clear
Maybe you don’t like how Trump says his stuff, but his aim is true. He lives in Lefty heads, while getting things done. If you can’t see that, then CBC has you spellbound
Good Riddance.
PS. Trump is still President, Hillary is not.
What’s with that weird hand gesture in the picture of those guys? Isn’t that some sort of Masonic claw?
