Sen. Sullivan says he supports attack on Iran He spoke of a limited role for the U.S. in regime change: "It's something that we can shape, but that's going to be ultimately up to the Iranian people.”

“I'm not someone that, in general, would support kind of taking out world leaders. But I think these guys, … my belief is that they’re less world leaders than terrorists, right?”

Senator Dan Sullivan

Great time to be one of those many young men that bought college is for "cucks" and the trades are for "real" men.

The silly tough guy shit on the right is going to brutalize the Gen Z men that have bought in and sweep up mamy that have not.

UAF to rename West Ridge area of campus 'Arctic Research Park' As international interest heats up in the Arctic the focus is being turned on Alaska’s role in research, defense and posturing. Interim Chancellor of University of Alaska Fairbanks Mike Sfraga

Move over West Ridge, we are now the Arctic Research Park.

I propose we further subdivide the Arctic Research Park into Lower, Central, and Yonder Arctic Research Park.

I know that Fairbanks, Alaska, is a very VERY small population sample size - but I got UNIVERSALLY positive responses from people who saw this sign at my booth.

So that feels hopeful.

Helping my kid with his science fair project.

The rules are 33 pages long.

I ain't reading 5 pages for a conference. Why would I read 33 pages for an elementary school project?

Last time the deal was a partially completed engineering building.

I think we'd setlle for covering deferred maintenance this time.
