Unfortunately, your wrong about "Hawaii" being able to provide for itself, if it ever were to become "independent and a sovereign power" in the pacific basin!  As there is also cause for alarm, as quite a few of the other "larger, more powerful countries" would love to "take over" the islands and put it to great mlitary use against the United States.

As for AG Jeff Sessions, he's just a fool on a hill, blowing which ever way Trump tells him to; while allowing his personal bias and ignorance free reign!
