Anchorage Christian Schools, on the campus of Anchorage Baptist Temple in East Anchorage, never enacted a mask mandate last year.
With a student body of about 550, another 140 have applied to attend this fall, after the school absorbed about that many more at the beginning of last year’s classes. The school can accommodate up to 900.
“She was really a wonderful elephant. A beautiful elephant with a rough history but an indomitable spirit. A big, big personality,” said Jackie Gai, Maggie’s veterinarian in her final years. “She had a beautiful face with long eyelashes. A very sweet and expressive face.” …
Her new home was a sanctuary in San Andreas, Calif., run by the Performing Animal Welfare Society. Dr. Gai, director of veterinary services for PAWS, said Maggie flourished in her new habitat, with acres of hills to roam and mud to wallow in. And Maggie had a best friend: Lulu, a retired zoo elephant from San Francisco.
“They refused to be apart. Everywhere Maggie went, Lulu went, and vice versa,” Gai said. “So it’s just what I would say was the deepest of friendships.”
Gai said Maggie seemed to choose the place of her death. On Tuesday, Maggie lay down under a favorite oak tree. With Lulu by her side and a caregiver nearby, Maggie drew her last breath.
While African elephants in the wild can live to 65, Gai said Maggie exceeded the median life expectancy for a captive elephant.
“She was a good friend to her elephant friends, and she was lucky to have a caring zoo director who made the right decision for her,” Gai said. “And we are honored to have had the opportunity to care for her all these years.”
Gai said Lulu seems sad and is getting extra attention.
Maggie’s care was funded for several years by game-show host and animal advocate Bob Barker, who also reimbursed the Air Force for Maggie’s flight from Alaska.

A top World Health Organization (WHO) official on Monday said that it appears “very rare” for an asymptomatic person with the coronavirus to transmit it to another person, a potential bit of good news in the fight against the virus.
“From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s technical lead for COVID-19, when asked about the issue at a press briefing.
She noted that the answer is not definitive. “We are constantly looking at this data, and we’re trying to get more information from countries to truly answer this question,” she said. “It still appears to be rare that an asymptomatic individual actually transmits onward.”
She said the WHO has information reported by countries that has not been published in studies, finding that detailed contact tracing has not found significant spread from asymptomatic people.
“We have a number of reports from countries who are doing very detailed contact tracing. They’re following asymptomatic cases, they’re following contacts, and they’re not finding secondary transmission onward,” Van Kerkhove said. “It’s very rare. Much of that is not published in the literature.”
“Oddly enough, it turns out the public doesn’t want to watch people who hate their country represent their country.” – JP Sears

According to the most recent stats released by the CDC this past Friday, their Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) now has recorded twice as many deaths following the non-FDA approved experimental COVID-19 shots during the past 8 months, than deaths recorded following ALL FDA approved vaccines for the past 30 years.
Story from The Alaska Watchman
On May 20, 2021, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed a bill making masks optional in schools after two mothers, Kimberly Reicks and Emily Peterson, became activists against mandatory masks for children in schools. The law also prevents businesses from requiring consumers to wear masks. The mothers tell the story about how their children became ill from wearing masks, received medical mask exemptions, and were then segregated and put behind plexiglass by school officials. Kimberly Reicks filed a lawsuit against the Ankeny School Board. The two women outlined their plan for other parents to do the same, a plan that includes organizing groups of like-minded individuals to attend school-board and city-council meetings, hold protests before the meetings if necessary, hold peaceful sit-ins at the Capitol, find Constitutional leaders in the legislature and hold freedom rallies.

According to an article by the Mayo Clinic, vitamin D may not actually be as toxic as was once believed: Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought: A Historical and an Up-to-Date Perspective
In the 1940s, vitamin D was used for rheumatoid arthritis. But, the amounts being used were between 200,000 and 300,000 IUs of vitamin D. The reason this could have helped is that vitamin D helps support the immune system and helps lower inflammation.
In the 1950’s they were fortifying products like dairy products with vitamin D. But, there were some complaints from parents with children who had side effects. The fortification of vitamin D in dairy was banned in Europe, but not in some other countries, including America.
Years later, it was discovered that these children might have experienced these side effects due to a rare genetic disease called Williams syndrome. With Williams syndrome, you don’t actually want to take vitamin D at all.
Now, when you look at vitamin D, it always says something along the line of “don’t take too much, you could experience a toxic effect.”
But, according to this article by the Mayo Clinic, it would take getting 50,000 to 100,000 IUs of vitamin D for months to years before vitamin D would become toxic. This is actually a lot more than what most people consider toxic. …

Former US law enforcement officials admit that the drug agent’s 1985 murder wasn’t just the work of Rafael Caro Quintero
15 OCT 2013
Two former US law enforcement agents and an ex-CIA contractor have told an American television network that Enrique “Kiki” Camarena – the undercover DEA agent whose 1985 torture and murder in Mexico rocked Washington and opened the largest federal homicide inquiries ever – was actually killed by CIA operatives. Camarena’s murder is considered the most heinous crime ever committed against the DEA in Latin America, and it took place at the height of the US drug war of the 1980s. …
Rafael Caro Quintero, one of the founders of the so-called Guadalajara cartel, was given a 40-year-sentence for Camarena’s murder, but on August 9 he was freed….
Before his death, Camarena, 37, had broken a gigantic marijuana ring operating from a ranch called Rancho El Búfalo, where Mexican soldiers destroyed some 1,000 hectares of cannabis in 1984.
In retaliation, the drug cartel ordered his capture and murder. He was kidnapped at gunpoint in Guadalajara, blind-folded and taken to a ranch house outside the city where he was tortured over a three-day period; his skull, jaw, nose and cheekbones were crushed with a tire iron. As he lay dying, a cartel doctor was ordered to keep him alert by administering drugs.
2:35 “We found that even those with high levels of vitamin D, over 50ng/ml, there was not an increased risk of hypercalcemia.”
3:30 Out of 20,000 people tested, they only found one case of vitamin D toxicity, hypercalcemia, and that person had been taking 50,000 iu of D every day for more than three months along with calcium.
MORE TRUTH from articulate, wise and bold Dr. Jeffrey Barke, a champion from almost day #1 of last year!
13:35 “Why aren’t we talking about the importance of measuring and boosting your vitamin D level? We know there’s a direct correlation between poor outcome with Covid and low vitamin D level. Nobody’s talking about that.”
14:15 “There’s been over 100 new billionaires created in the vaccine industry as a result of these vaccines. … It’s a perfect business model. I’m free from liability…” government funds the research, taxes pay for the vaxxes with taxes….

..Americans are saying: “What’s the point in competition, if it’s all about equity?”
It’s worse. Conservatives actually cheered last week when the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team lost to Sweden in the opening match. The memes on social media were brutal: “Get woke, go broke.” In fact, there is a wide swath of America that is now hoping the women’s soccer squad will go home empty handed, a well-deserved reward for their faux resistance, take-a-knee insistence.…
The men’s basketball team also spectacularly failed, suffering America’s first Olympic loss since 2004, and to France, of all countries, 83-76.
“Must be really difficult to win a game when 80% of the players hate the country they are playing for,” wrote another critic.
Cheering for your country’s team to lose on the international stage is new territory for America’s big socio-political divide. We have never seen Americans turn on their own Olympic team.…

Remember when the US government and top health officials told Americans to get vaccines so life can return to normal?
Think again. On Sunday, NIAID director Anthony Fauci admitted to CNN’s “State of the Union” that health officials may revise mask guidelines for those who are vaccinated, telling host Jake Tapper that bringing back mask mandates for vaccinated folks is “under active consideration.” …
“Even if you are vaccinated, you should wear a mask.”
THE BATTLE FOR AMERICA
1:07:00 “The left has taken the position that God, our Creator made a calculated mistake by giving mankind free will. … Most leftists fancy themselves as better than…. They are superior, they hyper-intellectuals, and they will save you from yourselves. And that’s how they justify their tyrannical ways by convincing themselves that by being a tyrant they’re being noble, because you, left to your own means will make a mess of things. And they want to protect you and me from ourselves.
Obviously, they’re wrong. They’re not superior to us. They’re taking away the one corrective mechanism that each one of us need, which is the freedom to make mistakes. … ‘Just give us your freedom and we’ll save you from yourself.’ And that’s really the battle for America today. … We will have to fight them…in the battle of ideas. We cannot lay down, because they will accept nothing but full and complete surrender.”

In the conservative Mat-Su Valley, vaccine rates are much lower than left-leaning Juneau. And yet the transmission rate for Covid in the Valley is much lower than Juneau, despite the capital city employing rigid lockdowns and the valley mandating practically none.
You won’t read that in the Anchorage Daily News or hear it on KTUU.…
Have you ever seen the media so focused on any issue as they are currently when it comes to demonizing people choosing not to get the experimental vaccine?
And then you add in Big Tech’s censorship of any news organization telling both sides of the story when it comes to the vaccine.
“For the most part, our government today is a fascist government. The only difference between fascism and communism is that with communism, the government owns everything, with fascism, the government controls everything through business. Fascism is the collaboration between government and business to enrich each other at the expense of the lives and the liberties of the people. Another word for it is ‘crony capitalism.’ … We watched fascism at its finest over the last year and one half in this country [using Covid for financial gain and control]. … Today, in America, both left and right, liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Democrats, ‘Christians’ and secularists are using the principles of fascism to accomplish their goals. Both are using the power and force of government to achieve their personal ambitions.” – Chuck Baldwin, 7/25/21 Liberty Fellowship Sunday message
