He Spent Funds Meant for Native Hawaiians on Polo and Porsches. The Federal Government Failed to Stop Him.
A small business program allowed Christopher Dawson to win big contracts if he promised to uplift Native Hawaiians. Instead, federal prosecutors allege, he used the money to line his own pockets.

I’ve said a few times that, given the utterly perilous state of the club when he arrived, Luke O’Nien could well be one of the most important players in Sunderland history. #SAFC
From the conversations and interviews I’ve had over the years, Luke O’Nien is vital to Sunderland’s dressing room.
Here’s the latest about him from teammate Dennis Cirkin, who wasn’t even asked about O’Nien but felt the need to talk about him anyway.

My beautiful girl is 13 years old today. She’s had a tough year: she survived a snake bite and surgery, lost her best buddy Kiba, and learned to be friends with new buddy Syra. She’s not up to long walks any more, but she’s still playful and full of life & love. Happy birthday my Sakura! #RescueDog

Truly sad to see that Sanderstead library (& 3 others in Croydon) closed last week. It was a central part of my childhood, opening my eyes to new worlds. #SaveOurLibraries
