In House Bill 99, men will be able to demand admittance into women’s shelters, simply by stating that they are women. If shelter operators refuse them, they can sue for discrimination.
HB 99 will be heard in House Community and Regional Affairs Committee at 8 am on Tuesday.
The bill adds gender identity to the list of conditions that may not be discriminated against in Alaska. The author, Rep. Jennie Armstrong, is a recent leftist transplant from Louisiana, who moved to Alaska, declares herself to be a pansexual, and successfully ran for House in 2022.

Dustin is a good guy in many ways, so I don’t understand why Dustin keeps doing this. Breaks my heart. I also live in West Anchorage, and have seen the frustration in good candidates trying to win when Nial Sherwood Williams also has acted as spoiler. It takes the wind out of conservative candidates’ sails, and discourages their potential donors from donating.

Because Darden doesn’t raise any money and never mounts a real campaign, he has a low ceiling of 12-15% at most. We’ve seen Darden play spoiler before, and in a tight West Anchorage race, he could again.

Solar storm and a stormy state senator
Mar 24
Disturbing the peace
Sen. Cathy Giessel of South Anchorage was having a bad day. Although she had eight constituents in Juneau for three days, she simply could not find time to meet with them, not even for five minutes.
The visitors made multiple requests of Giessel’s long-suffering staff, but the answer was always that she was too busy to meet with people from her district.
So the group from South Anchorage attended the floor session and when it came time for the introduction of guests, Giessel did not turn to face or acknowledge them, but simply read their names into the record and sat down. We’re not sure she even gave a perfunctory clap. The Senate was stunned at the rudeness on display to her eight constituents, something not seen in the Senate Chambers ever before. …
With Giessel, there were also some rude side remarks lobbed at some of the eight constituents after the Senate adjourned, caught by those standing in the hallway. When approached by a constituent, who greeted her and extended a hand for a handshake, Giessel crushed her fingernails into the woman’s hands, quite painfully and with apparent purpose. Word to the wise: Steer clear. Something is clearly wrong with Senator Giessel.

Suzanne Downing reporting from Alaska’s capitol:
“The legislators are treating each other well, with respect. I will say that I’ve noticed that Cathy Giessel is not particularly in that category. She strives through the hallways and treats people with imperious* disregard. … Cathy Tilton, as the speaker of the house is doing a fantastic job, and there is just very little drama.”
*’imperious’ – unpleasantly proud and expecting to be obeyed

HAMSTRINGING ANCHORAGE CHILDREN FOR LIFE!
Bot Griffin says once children are older than age 9 or 10 their minds become much less elastic and capable of being able to learn phonics. Many then try to remember whole words, instead of leaning how to pronounce syllables, so they can read all words.

CHINA’S SPY BALLOON
On Feb. 1 a photojournalist wondering why aircraft were grounded at his Billings, MT airport noticed and captured images of a strange white orb in the sky. His friend at the Billings Gazette investigated and the next day our military publicly admitted it was a high altitude suspected spy balloon from China. The images quickly went viral. The Chinese were prepared with a statement passing it off as a “civilian” weather balloon gone off course, but the path of the balloon carried it near a string of sensitive military installations from Alaska to South Carolina where it was finally shot down in shallow waters off the SC coast. Until the US reveals what kind of equipment was in the wreckage, we won’t know for certain what the real purpose was of the overflight. I doubt very much it was weather research because no nation sends weather balloons aloft so far outside their own country, except, perhaps, for military planning purposes which is still in the spy category. A host of aircraft from AWACS to a high-altitude U2 surveillance aircraft were used to evaluate the balloon with its extensive solar array on a truss-like framework that also contained electric motors driving propellers. This indicates that the balloon was designed to maneuver as well as drift in the upper air currents, which weather balloons are not designed to do. Whether or not there were high definition cameras aboard and batteries to operate equipment at night will be the determining factor on what its purpose was. This week, I’ll discuss the various theories about other purposes the balloon might have.

“..the Troopers arrived at her door on Jan. 18, a Trooper told Fulp that her family members were worried about her mental health. This occurred shortly after Fulp posted a four-hour video in which she enthusiastically claimed to have received special graces from God, a renewed sense of the Holy Spirit and the ability to speak in tongues – a belief held by millions of Christians around the world. …
“They took everything away from me,” Fulp recounted. “They had an officer watch over me, and had a camera on me for three days straight.”
After being admitted, she said had to undergo an extensive evaluation.
“They took my blood, they found nothing. They did a ct scan, they found nothing. They did an EKG they found nothing,” she explained. “The only thing I left with on the diagnosis is that I do need to have a follow up visit.”
They also gave her anti-psychotic drugs against her will.
“They treated me like I was crazy,” she said. …
“Fulp is the current principal of Colony High School and the 2022 Alaska Principal of the Year. She served 15 years as principal of Colony Middle School, where her work with students and staff earned her widespread respect and honors throughout Alaska’s educational community.

Our friends from Alaskans for Better Elections, sensing a disturbance in the Force, have started an ad campaign on local radio in defense of Ballot Measure 2, the rewrite of state election law passed in 2020.
The ad campaign is a purely defensive attempt to change the topic from the failure of Ballot Measure 2 (aka Ranked Choice Voting) by telling listeners that not only is the rewrite a smashing success, but Alaskans are overwhelmingly in support of it.
I suppose that all depends on your perspective, which is where the “lying liars” part comes in.

Special coverage of the 2022 Alaska Ranked Choice Vote Count from the Alaska Division of Elections headquarters in Juneau. All results are unofficial until certified by the Division of Elections.
A November 2020 email thread obtained by the Watchman shows that Alaska’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anne Zink admitted, just weeks before the rollout of the experimental Covid jabs, that she did not have enough data to be able to weigh in, one way or another, as to their safety.
Julia Luey, president and CEO of VOA Alaska speaks with Mike Porcaro about Alaska’s mental health crisis caused by Covid procedures (though, she wouldn’t say specifically why when asked).
1:26:30 “…Covid just kind of hit the peddle to the metal. … Our call volume has increased 190%.”
“Data is starting to emerge now that highlights the crisis we have here in Alaska. One of the things that really shook my soul was the sharpest increase in suicide attempts was between the ages of 11 and 14 years old. … And we’re on our way to Alaska being ranked #1 in the country for youth suicide.”
