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.

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.”

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.

‘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.

MY NOTES:
1:05:00 A lady quoted from this list, saying “Studies show that exposure to sexually explicit material may:”
- Prematurely sexualize a child.
- Incite a child to experiment with sexually explicit behaviour to make sense of it.
- Lead a child to normalize and become desensitized to high risk behaviour.
- Shape a child’s expectations in relationships.
- Shape a child’s expectations of physical appearances and certain sexual acts.
- Blur boundaries and increase a child’s risk of victimization.
- Increase a child’s health risks (i.e. sexually transmitted infections, sexual exploitation, etc.).
- Increase a child’s risk of problematic sexual behaviour against other children in an effort to experiment.
- Interfere with a child’s healthy sexual development.
[UPDATE 7/19/22: I just spoke with another key person about what’s stated in my intro here, and he/she was not aware of some of these former Assembly members wanting to testify regarding the original language of the charter or an AO that they passed while they were in office. Immediately after I posted this, I asked the key person whom I first talked with if what I wrote here was true, and he/she said it’s accurate. I don’t know why this other key person does not also know this, so I’m not sure what’s said in my intro now.]
This Tuesday, 7/12/22, the Anchorage Assembly voted 9-3 to approve AO 2022-60, which allows them to easily remove any mayor who violates one of the violations that attorney Bill Falsey wrote into the bill. Falsey had lost the election to now Mayor Dave Bronson, and could run for mayor if Bronson was removed. The Assembly paid Falsey about $100,000 to do the research and write the ordinance. This is “loose,” a term that Jeff Landfield often says.
I was told previously that two of the former Anchorage Assembly members which Assemblyperson Jamie Allard mentions here [on the Dan Fagan’s show, below], were going to testify that the language in the charter they voted on decades ago, and is in the charter now, had nothing to do with removal of the mayor; though, Bill Falsey wrote AO 2022-60, building on that language in the charter as if it did apply to the mayor. Apparently, it was only written for the potential removal of Assembly or school board members.
If the language in the charter has nothing to do with removal of the mayor, then Christopher Constant’s bill that Falsey researched and wrote, AO-60 has no basis, since Falsey has said this language in the charter is what he was building on, adding specific language, making it easy to remove mayor — which violates separation of powers and the people’s right to choose and remove the mayor.
What Jamie Allard said on the Mike Porcaro Show yesterday:
“We had former Assembly members there. We had Debbie Ossiander, we had Dick Traini. Craig Campbell was showing up. Bill Starr was showing up. I had called Mark [Begich?]. He was out of the net, but he said if he could have he would have shown up. We had legends that were testifying, and unfortunately I wasn’t able to get them on to testify.”
Some of the tyrannical 9 [of 12 total] have sold their souls — are way out of line in approving Constant’s radical AO that violates separation of powers to remove Mayor Bronson — who stands in the way of their ‘woke,’ destroy-Anchorage agenda!

F-bombing Assemblywoman: Assemblywoman Meg Zaletel says she doesn’t “fucking care” and “call the fucking question,” and she moves to adjourn the meeting in which the Assembly was voting on a slow coup against the mayor. Normally language like this would be called out of order by the chair, but the rules only apply to conservatives.

Outtakes from the event showed that some of the greatest applause of the evening came when Trump introduced Mayor Dave Bronson of Anchorage, and the crowd jumped to their feet to applaud and cheer Bronson, while Palin sat and did not cheer, nor clap for the Anchorage mayor who is the conservative standard-bearer for Alaska’s largest city. She looked around as if she was wondering what the cheering was for. Bronson has not endorsed her or her opponent Nick Begich. Even Mike Lindell was applauding wildly for Bronson. Roll the tape:
