Here we go Alaska
My answer to state Senator Bill Wielechowski on his mesaging to his Democrat consitutents.
"The typical Democrat feeling. Spend our money without any thought about the ramifications of your decisions. As I said to Murkowski, where are the surveys, the investigations, and the transparency of the breakdown and fraud on the 66,000 Alaskans on FOOD STAMPS. What have you or anyone in the legislature done to report to the public the issue you so dearly espouse? We do not want to hear “it’s about the children.” An investigation by private entities has reported 43% of the 42 million on SNAP are noncitizens (illegal aliens). How many in Alaska from the reported 10-15000 illegals? Do your homework instead of campaigning.

SNAP food benefits could restart as early as Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday.

There have been a few posts on social media about who ran this event and the media blackout.
My response should clear this up so our Left does not make this into a “told you so” moment.
Hi all! For transparency, I also attended, as did many others, to offer well wishes. The auditorium was nearly packed.
Yes, a prohibited record and video statement were released by the new TPUSA club, featuring an inexperienced college student.
They appeared not to know much about what goes into organizing an event of this magnitude, particularly amid controversy from the Left.
I believe the statement was partially misunderstood. There were lots of media outlets. Legacy media, that is.
The statement is cautionary, and any public media coverage may subject the company or individuals to litigation.
This was a solemn memorial event, and I did not want the mass media to turn it into a political slant or commentary.
The new campus club was partially assisted by some Republican volunteers who were experienced in organizing significant events like this. It was not a political issue, and other political parties would not even care.
I want to thank them for their support in helping these young, inexperienced adults on our college campuses become part of the conversation.
A picture to illustrate attendance without any political implications.

My Hot Take is that Alaska will soon mirror the violent discord plaguing the nation in our state.

I propose that the state and community leaders issue a joint statement on the assassination of free speech and peaceful assembly without the fear of violence.
“We are saddened by the killing of Charlie Kirk on September 10. We extend our condolences to his family and to all affected. Political violence has no place in Alaska or America. We condemn any celebration of this tragedy and urge all Alaskans to reject dehumanizing rhetoric. We commit to protecting free speech, peaceful assembly, and due process. We ask our institutions and citizens to verify information before sharing, to report threats to law enforcement, and to treat our neighbors with decency in disagreement.”

That’s it. Clear, humane, and consistent with our obligations as public servants and neighbors. This is another reminder that this is a catastrophic event resulting from human actions, a disaster first, political quarreling second.

Please share and comment to our University presidents, school boards, local employers, Alaska legislators, local administrations, tribal and community leaders.

Anyone affiliated with the Democrat Party is guilty by association to the political assassination attempts and the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Where are the elite benefactors, professionals like lawyers, doctors, and educators to subsidize their cultural, arts, and performance center?
What steps have the PAC administrators and managers taken to raise funds?
As a former Commissioner on the former mayors Public Facilities Advisory Commission (PFAC), an investigation into the management of the PAC is warranted
The Assembly must not use taxpayer dollars until there is a management assessment, comprehensive plan for raising funds, and possible liquidation of this asset.

The Anchorage Assembly will receive a briefing Friday afternoon on the $50 million in repairs that may be needed for the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, a downtown cultural hub that has suffered from decades of deferred maintenance.

Alaska Legislators and Lt Governor are responsible for not cleaning the rolls.

🚨BREAKING - President Trump’s DOJ is now asking for Pennsylvania, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, and Wisconsin to hand over all election information, including complete voter rolls, data on moved or inactive voters, and details on how rolls are maintained.

This was under three months ago. This may be the start of violent and more resistant protests in Alaska to come. Canadian and Mexican flags?

Hundreds of people rallied at the Alaska State Capitol, part of a “Hands Off!” day of action protesting the Trump administration’s agenda.

Rep. Gray (D) is an activist for the LGBTQ community in Anchorage, having been married to a man.
That’s the mindset. He claims that he is setting up a Legislative Hearing to address this issue, but he does not know the problem. He knows exactly what he’s doing. Read the post.

The Alaska House Judiciary Committee will convene at 1 pm on June 20 to hear from opponents of the Alaska Department of Corrections contract allowing it to hold federal immigration detainees inside Alaska correctional institutions. The hearing will feature invitation-only testimony from individuals....
