Thank you for your postings and work.

Please remember that Alaska also is part of the United States.

Remember the β€œNational” in *National* Weather Service.

How about an update about this?

Non-profit news organizations should really be operating under the assumption that their 501(c)(3) status could be yanked at any time. All it's going to take is one significant investigation or viral story before their attention turns that way.

Plan proactively. Don't count on norms or bureaucracy.

Not long after the USSR ended, I heard a retired Soviet General interviewed. He was asked how the US would function without an external enemy. He said the Cold War programmed Americans to hate and without it they would turn on themselves because they don’t know how to not hate. He saw it.

2023, THE MEDIA: Egg prices are generally steady, but in a few places, they went up as much as $0.07. Here's why Biden should be impeached for that.

2025, THE MEDIA: Fresh fruit and vegetable prices are jumping a whopping 40%. Here's why the White House tariffs are a winning strategy for consumers.

The trick to staying happy in Alaska is to never, ever pay attention what they are up to in Scandinavia + Finland

Let’s stop believing that Murkowski cares, Alaska. Whatever carve-out she might’ve gotten for us doesn’t erase that. She is willing to kill Americans.

UAA professor asks, 'Have you seen a snake in Alaska?' In April, a deceased snake was discovered in a hay bale that had been shipped from Washington state to Southcentral Alaska. The remains of the snake were sent to UAA’s McLaughlin Lab for analysis.

Hey look my incredibly dorky quest to find snakes in Alaska got a nice write-up!

I'm willing to follow Sabbatini. I have always had a lit of respect for him -- dating back to his early years at the Capitol.
I hope he's able to work with the Beacon as necessary.

Your daily reminder that the U.S. Postal SERVICE is a service that is designed to benefit taxpayers and not a business that should be expected to turn a profit.

What a world where a journalist has more respect and concern for national security rather the freaking White House.

My money. I'd settle for one big payment of what I put in, plus what my employers paid into my account, plus interest plus cost of living adjustment. That's good.
And I want it tomorrow!

My neighbor has a bigger house that was just repainted last summer. I think I'll go over and throw him out.
Isn't that okay?
