Chena Hot Springs owner seeks federal help for Ukrainian workers facing deportation This is the first in a two-part series examining the expiration of humanitarian parole for Ukrainian workers in Alaska.

This is bad for Ukrainians in Alaska.

Also, it's laughable that Bernie Karl is aghast at this happening.

On November 9, 2025, at 11:24am, Alaska State Troopers received a report of a 38-year-old male that had been shot with a shotgun and was transported to a local hospital in Kodiak in stable condition. Investigation determined that he placed his shotgun in the bed of his pickup on top of another firearm and ultimately caused a loaded shotgun to negligently discharge striking him in the groin area. There is no suspicion of foul play.

A guy in Kodiak shot himself in the groin after attempting to stack a loaded shotgun on top of another gun. Genius.

We simply can't open new charter schools when we are closing schools without barriers. Charter schools cost money that could be used to improve our schools.

I am against opening any charter until we have a mechanism to close charter schools before closing real public schools.

I think the Pearl Creek parents are going to litigate regardless.

The Two Rivers proposal is better idea and it fits a need more than Pearl Creek. I would recommend against approving any charter at this time as they are still a sink on our budget.

Mayor Hopkins is cool with this lease apparently because his kid will go to Pearl Creek if it re-opens as a charter.

This is why political dynasties, even if they are just borough mayor, are dumb.

Mayor Grier Hopkins is relying on the Pearl Creek charter's appeal to be successful. He plans on locking the borough into a long term lease that has yet to be negotiated to save his neighborhood school that he attended as a kid.

Tom Begich and Matt Claman are very underwhelming.

This will definitely fix MLB's gambling problem.

No way will addicts attempt to circumvent this.

Of course

Cause fuck 'em. I won't give up just because some politician did.

The bell has not rung and even if it did I'll still be an obstinate bastard.

Humans, in aggregate, are pretty amazing.

Catholicism has very strongs views on the death penalty.

Why isn't JD Vance mad at courts for not halting any execution?

He is deep in the MAGA stew these days. He's fried.

The only question I have about him is will he slowly peter out or flame out in a scandal.

Dan Sullivan’s choice for Alaska District Court Judge is disbarred, the sex pest Joshua Kindred.

Now Dan Sullivan is picking more Alaska District Court nominees in a secret process that doesn’t include Lisa Murkowski.

We are losing the sandwich race.
There's italian subs, croque monsieurs, tortas, even hamburgers!
Unless we pivot to improving our own sandwich arsenal we will be over run with gyros and falafel before we know it.

Alaska law department speaks out on jury nullification bill JUNEAU — The Alaska Department of Law has serious concerns about a bill that would legally allow defendants to question the merits of a law and urge juries to vote

A blast from the past by @matt.akmemo.com

I wonder how Tammie Wilson feels about jury nullification today?

If we put corrections and state troopers at 2016 levels we could spend 148 million more on education every year.

Easy!

Cut corrections and state troopers.
Fund teachers and schools.

Anchorage International among 40 US airports targeted by FAA for shutdown-related flight cuts The Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday that it will reduce air traffic by 10% across 40 “high-volume” markets to maintain travel safety as air traffic controllers exhibit signs of strain d...

Anchorage and Seattle-Tacoma airports are among 40 across the U.S. that will see flights cut starting Friday due to the government shutdown.

She's become Lora Reinbold

There it is.

Every aspect of commercial airspace in this country is built on another. The ripple effect from 10% reduction goes everywhere. (Like how a blizzard shutting down JFK impacts Atlanta & Miami.)

Now, call your reps & tell them to get their lazy selves back to work. The House must open.

Can he make a post without using AI?

The Speaker of the House is getting paid not to work while the NTSB team heading to the crash site in Kentucky is not.

Mike Johnson needs to call the House back in session or get his ass down there and shift some wreckage.

He needs to experience what dedicated federal employees do for a living.

It's pretty obvious which parts of the Church these tradcaths like. Faith is not a la carte.

A Pope once dug up the body of another Pope, put the dead Pope on trial, and then desecrated the corpse by cutting off the fingers the dead Pope used for blessings.

I wouldn't piss off the Pope.

The Carter Foundations work to eradicate Guinea worm is remarkable.

I use Guinea worm to teach about disease in developing countries and disease eradication efforts.

Thank you, Georgia Public Broadcasting, for airing tonight the heroic story of the “Guinea worm warriors” who have brought one of the world’s largest parasites affecting humans to the brink of eradication.
