6-26-2023 Oh, Canada! Oh, Marxist, Virtue-signaling, Stupid/Evil, Trudeauistic Canada!

We lament that Canada and the United States are under attack by the same anti-fossil fuel, globalist, socialist, anarchist, cultural, anti-religious, gender-confusing, anti-free-enterprise-ESG, race-bating, and climate change hoaxing consortium of power accumulators. The video below represents the mortal tension North Americans experience in the battle for and against truth, spiritual morality, God-given freedoms and honorable public service.  -dh https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox?projector=1

A.  We have always held that Alaska's politicians, for once, should wisely support the due diligent efforts of private industry to create economic solutions to ANS gas export potential.  Likewise, since our particpation on the Regulatory Commission of Alaska, we have urged state government restraint in favor of supporting private sector due diligence in defining, funding, building and opetating the infrastructure necessary to [...]

4-5-2022 A Voting Day Message From A Treasured Alaska Philosopher*

(Opinion Column: Letter to the editor) A Voting Day Letter To Critical Thinking Citizens by Glen Biegel Dear Anchoragians (Anchorageites?): Glen Biegel   It's voting day. It's voting day because you really can't vote in person. There are 3 locations to vote: City Hall (hah!), the Loussac library, and the Town Center in Eagle River. Didn't know that, or you plan to stand in a 3+ hour long line on 'voting day' to vote? Ergo, today IS voting day.   The Day of Reckoning *I need your [...]

10-5-2021 America Continues To Evolve Into An Appeasement Country

America Continues To Evolve Into An Appeasement Country “I want it now at someone else’s expense” By Dave Harbour The disturbing trend continues.  Modern generations, particularly this one, want what they want when they want it and they want it NOW.  But only if someone else pays for it.  And who would that be?  It would be someone who cannot vote who can be involuntarily indebted and who would ONLY have to pay interest and not the principle for decades to come.  In short, politicians can appease constituents by [...]

9-30-2021 Taxes On Energy Producers and Consumers Grow From Inflationary Government Spending and Regulatory Policies

Open Letter To Alaska's U.S. Senators Is this what Alaska's U.S. Senators want for their state and country? If so, we believe they will be joining the Dems to support porky infrastructure and socialized reconciliation.  This is not like past times when pork was routinely incorporated into legislation, but not mortally injurious to the Nation's future.  This time could come to be known as, "The End Game".  And maybe that outcome will be determined by Alaska's two Senators. -dh (Note: We believe that wasteful spending and rising [...]
