We just had municipal elections here in Fairbanks and the Fairbanks North Star Borough. With one exception we are now run by leftist lunatics. There was a rip roaring 18% turnout. So 82% of voters don't care what happens to them. Fairbanks has joined Anchorage, Seattle, Portland, and Frisco in gong down the toilet. I am here for the natural wonder of the place, but the government here is absolute sewage.

Is it going to blow — or blow over? Seismic activity levels on Alaska’s Mount Spurr soared to March levels earlier this week, sparking fear that an eruption could be on the horizon. “Earthquake activity beneath Mount Spurr remains elevated,” the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) warned in a May 28 report. “Following a steady decline from late March through April, shallow earthquake activity has increased in the past two weeks to March levels of about 100 events per week.” And while the advisory assured that the “likelihood of an eruption continues to gradually decline,” the 11,000-foot volcano remains at an...

The leading cause of runaway inflation is government spending. These people will spend ridiculous amounts of money for mundane items. No one ever does the math. Probably because they attended public school. https://www.newsminer.com/news/local_news/borough-receives-10-million-epa-grant-for-stove-changeouts-natural-gas-expansion/article_0d2768f8-72b7-11ee-96aa-fb4e1900fac7.html https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/anchorage/2023/10/24/proposed-bond-measure-would-bring-more-public-restrooms-to-anchorage/ In the first article EPA figures that 10 megabucks will change out 335 wood stoves. $29,850 to change out a wood stove? In the second article Anchorage wants to float a 12,500,000.00 bond to put up 24 public restrooms. $520,833.33 for a modular restroom? And this is only one tiny example of the idiotic spending that goes on.

President Biden said Monday that he was at the World Trade Center site in New York City one day after the 9/11 attacks — despite his own autobiography placing him in DC. The 80-year-old president also claimed he saw the fireball caused by the plane that struck the Pentagon in northern Virginia from Washington’s Union Station, when his own book says he merely saw “a brown haze of smoke.” “Ground Zero in New York — I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building. And I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell,” Biden...

An investigation has been launched after a person believed to be an Anchorage, Alaska, police officer was shown in a photo with a woman in town for a Donald Trump rally flashing a novelty "white privilege card." The social media post caused concerns about racial equality in Alaska's largest city. Mimi Israelah claimed in a Facebook post that she was pulled over for weaving at 3:43 a.m. while driving to a pizzeria in Anchorage after arriving on an early-morning flight from California for Trump's rally Saturday to support local Republican candidates he's backed. "Officer Bo" asked for her driver's license...

Former President Trump used a rally in Anchorage, Alaska, on Saturday to target Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who is up for reelection this November, asserting that “she’s worse than a Democrat.” While Trump was in the state to campaign for several candidates he has endorsed, he focused much of his speech on Murkowski, calling her “a lousy senator” shortly after beginning his stump speech. “She’s a total creature of the Washington swamp, but much worse than that, and a tool of a corrupt establishment, the likes of which we’ve never seen. The fake news media loves her,” Trump said. The...

Event organizers would not disclose how many tickets have been reserved from the 5,000-seat arena, but the former president told Mike Pocaro, an Anchorage-based talk radio host, that the crowd is expected to be “enormous.”

While Democrat activists have been busy trying to figure out a way to tie up tickets for the Trump Save America rally on July 9 at the University of Alaska Anchorage’s Alaska Airlines Center, it’s not working. On Twitter, Trump detractors have been sharing ideas for how to reserve tickets they don’t plan to use. The effort has fallen flat, because the free tickets to the Trump rally do not actually reserve a seat — they are first-come, first-served. The line for the July 9 rally opens at 6 am. The free ticket signup is mainly to help organizers of...

Ahead of the holidays, a vendor who had set up shop at a mall on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson was selling figurines with an overt political message deriding the commander-in-chief. The incident has prompted officials to update their guidance to vendors on what is - and isn’t - appropriate to sell on base. The wooden figurines of a bear stylized to look like former President Donald Trump, with a shock of yellow hair and long red tie, stood about a foot tall and held small signs reading “Let’s Go Brandon.” **SNIP** The “Let’s Go Brandon” bears were being sold at JBER’s...

MAYOR RELEASES PRIVATE AUDIO TO DAMAGE HIS ACCUSER Mayor Ethan Berkowitz came halfway clean on Monday after admitting that he had had an inappropriate “messaging” relationship with TV reporter Maria Athens. But he didn’t come all the way clean. Instead, he asked everyone to respect his privacy. Porcaro That alleged “messaging” relationship was something Athens had never discussed last week.
