Just when you thing there is no lower president Trump can go, he blames a tragic plane crash on DEI? Why not just say it was caused by a virus created in China? Or that it was the fault of the Warren Commission?

Local gas prices have risen 20 cents in the past few days, now tariffs will jack them up further. And no, Canada will not pay those higher costs, US citizens will. How stupid can the US electorate be?

TESTAMENT

Bury me
With my books

Put my ashes
On the shelf

Where I can smell
The bindings

Where I can feel
The stamped ink

Where the letters
Curl into words

That rhyme
Or not

But fall along
Page after page

Inevitably
Into beauty

I’m pretty sad that so many are “resigned” to the chaos that the new administration will bring. Both houses of Congress are still narrowly divided. It’s not going to be as easy to implement “change” as they think.

I hate to give credit to anyone whose political plan is “chaos” but nominating the Pervert from Niceville for AG was a great way to make the other cabinet nominees look more qualified. He just didn’t didn’t stay in the game long enough to provide cover.😙

A large number of people in Southeast voted for a Congressional candidate who would have trouble locating the region on a map of Alaska and certainly couldn’t name more than two of its cities before the campaign. You can fool some of the people all of the time.

A good friend voted for Trump to “cut government.” I pointed out Trump wants to cut education funding including special needs programs (that his youngest son gets) and pell grants (which his oldest son gets). He seemed surprised, I told him to message Elon ASAP.

With Interior and Energy off the table Governor Standing Tall’s options for n the Trump admin are looking less plum.

Just about the only person that I respect less than the incoming President of the United States is the current Governor of the State of Alaska. Governor Standing Tall came up short this week.

First post, I am an Alaskan historian, poet, musician, humorist, and, indeed, a former small town mayor. Am not the only non-Trumpian in Alaska, but most days it feels like you can count us on one hand! And not the hand the Orange One uses to abuse microphones!
