DATA: Depressed adolescents in a case-series were low in vitamin D and depression was ameliorated by vitamin D supplementation
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22372707
A study I read recently talked about how vitamin D levels could be linked to depressed teens. A few symptoms linked to a vitamin D deficiency are sadness, hopelessness, loss of interest, loss of concentration, and even thoughts of suicide.
Potential causes of a vitamin D deficiency in teens:
• Not getting enough sun
• Not consuming enough vegetables (not enough magnesium)
• Snacking (insulin resistance blocks vitamin D)
• A high carb diet (fructose blocks vitamin D)
• Obesity (increases the need for vitamin D)
• Darker skin blocks vitamin D absorption
Other symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency:
• Achy joints
• Low back pain
• Lethargy
• Insomnia
• Anxiety
Natural remedies:
• Vitamin D (10,000 IUs)
• Magnesium
• Vitamin K2

Anchorage Assemblyman Forrest Dunbar told his fellow Assembly members last week that not only should the public not be allowed to vote on an ordinance that would ask voters if they want the Municipal Clerk to be elected, he didn’t even want to hear the public testimony on it.
The public, Dunbar said, spews misinformation about elections, and he was opposed to allowing the citizens to speak.
The ordinance, AO 2022-13, was offered by Mayor Dave Bronson in response to the discontent among many Anchorage voters about how elections are managed in Anchorage. The Clerk, who oversees Anchorage’s controversial elections, is beholden to a highly partisan Assembly. If elected, she would be responsible to the people.
I’ve only taken the short train ride to Whittier from Portage, but Mom and her sister took this, and I’ve driven everywhere by road, except the dirt road to the north slope.
The trip south of Anchorage to Seward may be even more scenic, along the Turnagain Arm especially, but it’s driveable, as the road parallels the train, mostly.
The outside viewing platform is indeed super nice, and allows photographing without having to shoot through windows.
Great adventures I always recommend are fllying from Talkeetna to Mt. Denali above the Ruth glacier for about 50 miles, flanked by mountains on both sides, and maybe landing on the glacier. Ruth glacier looks like a giant, 1-mile wide, white freeway with many crevasses below us.
The pilot cranks down the skis by hand after leaving the runway in Talkeetna to land on the glacier.
Flying around the mountain in addition is also amazing, which hardly anyone does. Few realize this shows the highest, unobstructed vertical drop in the world; though, at an angle, because Denali doesn’t have foothills, like Mt. Everest, etc.. I’ve only done that once.
Another amazing adventure is the 26 Glacier Tour out of Whittier, south of Anchorage. Pristine and highly recommended!
SHOCKING! Anchorage now has a woke superintendent and school board, with just one exception, the amazing Dave Donley.
The people must be WAKING UP now, despite the leftist media blackout! This made me cry — so utterly disgusting and unnecessary! Com’ on Hillside people, stand up, stand tall — fight the good fight in love! We can do better. No masks ever again. High enough vitamin D levels are the answer. No fear. Love! Walk in unity! Oust this woke, unqualified woke superintendent and woke, but not awake school board. Never again, please!

Among other things, Harvard Law grad, Niki Tshibaka has been a Senior Trial Attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice, a pastor for a church just outside of D.C. and a Co-Founder/Owner of an agricultural company in Ghana, Africa.
“‘The Undertaker’ is alive and well,” says the announcer. People are so easily deceived these days, sadly — as if many don’t want to live in reality — as in WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment).
Roger Holland needs to tell the truth about Cathy Giessel, or she’ll be able to resume her machinations.
People need to pray for the truth to be revealed about everyone and everything.
So many lies these days, especially from the subversive media.
Truth Matters!

“Senate Seat E: This is a south Hillside district in Anchorage, and incumbent Republican Sen. Roger Holland was surprised by former Sen. Cathy Giessel, a Bill Walker-endorsing Republican, getting ahead of him. Giessel has 36.12% and Holland has 31.23%, with the Democrat taking about 32%.”

I do like Christopher Kurka. I think he is a good person, and he has great potential, but he’s not quite ready for the governorship. –Sen. Lora Reinbold
While Christopher Kurka tried to explain to Dan Fagan why he didn’t vote for the PFD, on air, minute-2:02:30 below, Lora Reindbold was on hold, waiting to be next, so she heard the entire Kurka/Fagan discussion. Dan asked Lora if he was right in holding Kurka’s feet to the fire. I transcribed what was said.

Murkowski, who has been a champion of abortion, can still do the right thing
Sept. 20, 2020
By Dan Fagan
Planned Parenthood President Cecil Richards praised Murkowski in 2017 when the Alaska senator cast the deciding vote that blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to repeal Obamacare. Murkowski voted against the repeal because the bill called for defunding Planned Parenthood. Imagine being so loyal to Planned Parenthood you’re willing to save Obamacare for it.
In 2018, Murkowski was one of just two Republicans to vote against a federal ban on abortions after 20 weeks and up to the day of birth. But Murkowski’s most consequential move to preserve the barbaric killing of millions of American babies came when she refused in 2018 to vote to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Suzanne Downing nails it!:
A land acknowledgement is a political statement that forces people to confess that they are colonizers and that the land they are on belongs to someone else — tribes, ancestors of original settlers. Others are simply “visitors from elsewhere.”

Sarah won’t even look at Nick, except over his head, once.
Her fake, everything-is-great persona she puts on is obvious.
Sarah has a big stack of papers, which she stares at throughout. Nick is free to look at anyone, and relies on his brain.

“Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall.” – Prov. 16:18
Alaska State Senator Lora Reinbold wrote this on her Facebook page, 7/25/22 about Gov. Dunleavy:
Another reason why I’m done with Done-leavy! He was not true to his campaign promises keeping Alaska “open for business” — instead he unconstitutionally shut us down, closed private & public schools, forced masks in all state buildings, viciously attacked me as I questioned his 18 unnecessary & unconstitutional mandates.
The Done-leavy administration has a bizarre obsession with ineffective & potentially very harmful mrna shots via Dr Zink & Commisioner Crum. Sadly Alaskans shut their business & lost their jobs as he imposed fear & was silent to the cries of Alaskans. Mike Dunleavy was very loyal to special interests. He bloated budgets, cut the PFD and originally voted for Sb91 crime bill & has a pro Sb91 individual (Jordan) helping manage his campaign. He stood down, not tall to tyranny!
Vote Charlie Pierce for Governor who kept Kenai Peninsula Open & Lt Gov & Col Grunwald who will be tough on crime!

In a rather suspiciously timed coincidence, several billboards reading “Alaska Is Ours” appeared in Siberia on Thursday, the day after State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin suggested Russia “take back” Alaska from the United States in retaliation for sanctions.
On Tuesday, the resolution was to honor breastfeeding, recognizing the first week of August as World Breastfeeding Week.
But the resolution, before it was even read, was prefaced by a bottled-up diatribe by Assemblywoman Austin Quinn-Davidson, who used its introduction as an opportunity to clobber the Mayor Dave Bronson for undoing her signature executive orders — the creation of additional baby-time leave for municipal employees, and the allowance of infants in the workplace as official policy.

A LGBTQ and even pagans inclusive fellowship in Anchorage that mixes parts of Christianity, Buddhism, Paganism & Eastern religions.
‘The Truth with a capitol T’ doesn’t exist, they say; though, there can’t be conflicting truths. There is only the way it really is — the truth.
For example, there either are angels or there are not. God is either one, three-in-1, or thousands (as in Hinduism). The Devil and demons either exist or do not. Demons either affect people, or do not. There is absolute truth, and truth matters.

By Dave Bronson Jul 14th 2022Since I took office last year on July 1, significant progress and advancement have been made on the priorities established at the onset of my administration. When it comes to public safety, economic development, the Port of Alaska, homelessness, property taxes, the budget, COVID-19 and being accountable to the people of Anchorage, we are getting back on the right track and rebuilding our great city!
Today, I believe we are a more united, stronger, and healthier people that are working together to grow our economy and make Anchorage an amazing city to live, work, and play.
