‘Land of No’: Biden is about to shipwreck Alaska’s economic boat

Joe Biden has made many promises to his keepers that he now must keep. Of special interest to Alaska is the one that he says he is going to end America’s oil industry as we know it by 2035 as he launches the green economy.

Biden policies for the shale sector will soon alter investor behavior, which could result in a loss of up to 1 million barrels a day in oil production by 2025, according to Forbes magazine. Biden is on record saying he will ban all new oil and gas drilling on federal land, something that should send a chill up the spine of Alaskans.

In addition, the Biden White House will rejoin the Paris Climate Accords. He’ll get the U.S. back in bed with the World Health Organization, which has been wholly corrupted by China.

Biden is on record saying he will renew immigration from majority-Muslim countries. He’ll open back up the border with Mexico. He’ll restart the U.S. paying the bill for do-nothing NATO.

There will be a Biden national mask mandate and we don’t know how far that will go. U.S. Marshals would be in charge of enforcement.

For Alaska, a Biden presidency means four years in the wilderness. The depressed economy brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and the price and production of oil will be with Alaska for a long time to come, as Biden’s Administration will likely reverse decisions made to open up oil development.

Quite simply, Alaska may once again become the Land of No, as it had been for many years before the Trump presidency.

There will be no life-saving road from King Cove to Cold Bay. There will be no Donlin Mine or Pebble Mine. Even the Kensington and Red Dog mines will find it harder to operate under more regulations they expect under a Biden EPA.

The Trump decision to exempt portions of the Tongass National Forest from the roadless rule, to allow limited, responsible logging, will be reversed.

Alaska will, for awhile at least, become unable to support its state services, and this will likely mean the Permanent Fund dividend will be scraped from the citizens and used to patch the budget hole.

For Alaska, President Trump has been the best president since Statehood — not just talking, but walking the walk on his promises. True, he was not able to get the road built to King Cove, but that was because of the judicial system blocking him.

He opened up ANWR after 40 years of effort by Alaska’s D.C. delegation, as he promised he would. He opened up a portion of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, and now the Willow project is on track to deliver 160,000 barrels of petroleum to the Trans Alaska Pipeline System, all of it taxable to the state treasury.

He approved a treaty document to allow the A2A railroad construction, that would allow petroleum products to be shipped over land from Alberta to ports in Alaska.

These developments are now in peril, and those Alaskans with common sense will want to study their personal finances carefully over the coming weeks and make prudent decisions.

While wise Alaskans are surveying the possibilities of a depression in the state, Biden advisers, aides, and campaign staff are already divvying up the spoils of war. They have government-issued phones and computers and a 10,000-square-foot space in the Herbert Hoover Building, home of the Department of Commerce, where the pods of Biden loyalists will create landing teams to begin embedding even more Biden loyalists in every agency, with the goal of rooting out the Trump appointees and preparing the way for Biden bureaucrats to retake the vast federal agencies.

The swamp will have its due.

Gone will be Betsy Devos, Education secretary, and champion of school choice. Gone will be Interior Secretary David. Bernhardt, and BIA Chief Tara Sweeney, the fearless Alaska Native who became the head of that agency under Trump.

Andrew R. Wheeler will soon depart the Environmental Protection Agency and Region 10 Administrator Chris Hladick, who oversees the Pacific Northwest and Alaska Region of EPA, will have to find another job. William Barr, the U.S. Attorney General who brought funds to rural Alaska to fight sexual assault, will be out of there.

And most of all, gone will be Alaska’s greatest champion — the president himself, the man who built up our U.S. military and considered Alaska of upmost importance to the country. Trump will return to private life, no longer able to wrestle the bureaucratic monster that is the federal government.

Come January, the environmental league of bureaucrats from the national nonprofits will swoop in, operating under a doddering figurehead president who fumbles through his days, protected by his handlers, and who does not appear have the cognitive function to guard or grow Alaska’s economy, to say nothing of the American economy and national security.

These are dark times for Alaska. Under President Biden, the 49th State, where Trump is well regarded, will become America’s carbon sink, the economic sacrificial lamb for the rest of the nation, to assuage the wrath of the environmentalists who consider this the place on earth that must be preserved at all cost.

Nate Silver to Al Gross: You aren’t going to get 70%, brah

57

Even Nate Silver, the Generation X statistician who is looked to by Democrats to paint a rosy picture for their prospects, isn’t buying what Alan Gross is selling.

Silver is the founder and editor in chief of FiveThirtyEight.com and the author of “ The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail — But Some Don’t.”

On Twitter, Silver noted that Alaska Senate candidate Gross was projecting a win for himself, once all the votes are counted.

Silver generously wrote that Gross was making a “bold claim,” but allowed that since the mail-in ballots were not counted, then not much information was known about the race between Gross and U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan.

But this much is known: Gross underperformed Joe Biden by about 3,000 votes (of the votes already counted), while Sullivan over-performed President Donald Trump by more than 1,000 votes. Trump won Alaska, it appears, by a healthy margin.

Another way of looking at it: A voter who filled in the oval for President Trump was never going to fill in the oval for Alan Gross.

“Since there’s no gap so far between the Senate and the presidency so far I suppose that claim also implies that Biden could win Alaska,” Silver continued.

He added: “(I do not think Joe Biden is going to win Alaska. Just saying we don’t know much about it yet if there’s no mail vote counted.)

Must Read Alaska‘s crack election analyst is fairly certain that Joe Biden is not going to win Alaska, even though some 40 percent or more of the vote isn’t counted.

Because Gross needs to get over 7 out of 10 of the remaining uncounted votes to win, Gross’ claim is beyond bold, unless he knows something about all those Democrat-harvested ballots that MRAK doesn’t know.

Mayor Quinn-Davidson: The children shall be masked

Acting Mayor Austin Quinn-Davidson decreed on Friday that all school children in Anchorage shall wear masks. Even while playing sports, such as basketball, and certainly in classrooms, if they are ever able to actually attend school in person.

Currently, most children are still at home. Pre-K through second grade students are currently scheduled to return to classrooms on Nov. 16. The National Education Association has come out against schools reopening. Private school students are currently attending school in person.

The masking of children by the mayor who has no children was one in a series of orders Quinn-Davidson made as the positive cases of COVID are climbing across Alaska.

In addition to the mandate on children, Quinn-Davidson said those with disabilities who cannot wear masks covering their nose and mouth must wear face shields in public or simply stay home. All people who are exercising in gyms must also wear masks.

She said she is closing the “loophole” on masking.

Without calling it a lockdown or “hunker down” order, Quinn-Davidson is also once again limiting the number of people who may gather together in Anchorage. No more than 10 may gather together if they are eating or drinking and no more than 15 may gather indoors if they are not eating or drinking. Outdoors, the limits are 20 may gather if they are eating or drinking, and 30 may gather if they are not. Classrooms are capped at 50 percent capacity.

There are no specifics coming from Quinn-Davidson how this will impact restaurants or bars. At this point, restaurants can seat groups that are six feet apart or 10 feet apart if they are outside, an unlikely occurrence at this time of year, but an order that is on the books nonetheless. No one may sit at a bar in Anchorage under any circumstances.

Quinn-Davidson became mayor after former Mayor Ethan Berkowitz removed himself from the public arena after embarrassing photos of him naked surfaced, and his relationship with a news reporter made him the subject of national news.

Quinn-Davidson will be mayor until July 1, when the new mayor elected during the April 6, 2021 election is finally seated.

“I’ve been hearing that over and over again even before I started, from local businesses, saying if if we don’t have enforcement of our mandates, people won’t take them seriously. We know many are taking them seriously and we thank you for that. For those who can’t, we will be beefing up enforcement. We’ve posted three positions for code enforcement officers.”

Game of Thrones: Some legislative leaders push back on governor’s emergency order, want special session

WINTER IS COMING, WILL LAWSUIT BE FAR BEHIND?

Behind the scenes in Alaska’s legislative leadership, leftist sparring with the governor and incoming Republican leadership is playing out, as progressives in charge of the House and Senate try to game Gov. Mike Dunleavy and his emergency orders.

The gamesmanship is centered on the governor’s recent emergency declaration. Leftists, who will lose control of the Legislature in January, want to push for a special session that would allow them to do veto overrides or even move CARES Act money around to their priorities.

Senate President Cathy Giessel and House Speaker Bryce Edgmon on Friday issued a statement warning that without legislative approval, Dunleavy’s new emergency declaration is on shaky legal footing.

While it’s not likely the two could sue over the declaration (that would require action from Legislative Council), they might be setting up a scenario for surrogates to do so, such as liberal lawyer Scott Kendall, who heads up the Recall Dunleavy Committee, or the litigious ACLU. Even Juneau lawyer Joe Geldhof, who sues over such constitutional matters, might be persuaded to take up the cause.

Giessel and Edgmon want the governor to call the Legislature into special session, since they say they do not have the votes to call for a special session themselves. It takes 40 votes.

Giessel and Edgmon promised in a note to the governor that if he calls a special session, they will try to not expand the agenda beyond the actual emergency order, but there’s little doubt a game is afoot, with veto overrides being among the most likely goal.

This is lame-duck leadership that looks to put sideboards on the next legislative organization, and time is running out on their shift at the helm.

On Friday, Dunleavy announced the new 30-day Declaration of Public Health Disaster Emergency in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The declaration goes into effect on 12:01 a.m. on Nov. 16, and expires on 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 15. He would need legislative approval to extend it, or he could make another declaration, with different rationale — but at the peril of inviting a lawsuit.

Without an emergency declaration, the State can no longer run a unified command operation, hospitals cannot have flexibility to designate certain wings or even a hotel as an isolation unit, if needed, and telemedicine flexibility would end.

The COVID testing at the airports for incoming travelers would disappear, and the reserve hospital set up at the Alaska Airlines Center on the UAA campus would be dismantled. Federal receipt authority is also at stake. People would not be able to get their business done online with the state government, such as renewing their drivers licenses, as hundreds of now-suspended regulations would return to normal status.

Even the regulation limiting the amount of time children can be on computers at schools would return to normal, making distance education impossible.

Dunleavy’s initial March 11 disaster declaration was to address a pending outbreak of COVID-19. At that point, only a couple of cases of the virus had been detected in the state.

The upcoming declaration refers to an outbreak that is now underway. The number of cases diagnosed in Alaska is nearly 18,000 and the daily infection count rose to 600 on Friday, nearly double what it was a week earlier.

“Recent conversations with legislators, health professionals, and business leaders confirm a broad consensus that it is in the state’s best interest to ensure we have an emergency declaration in place beyond November 15,” Dunleavy said.

“This new disaster declaration is based upon the determination of moving from the threat of a pandemic to an actual pandemic. Given the tools the declaration will provide to the state, boroughs, and municipalities, as well as our health professionals and medical facilities, this declaration will continue to provide certainty to Alaskans during this pandemic. The Legislature has indicated they do not currently have the support of their members to call themselves into a special session. If the Legislature chooses to convene to address this new order, my administration is ready to assist in developing long-term solutions to manage this emergency and protect the public safety and health of Alaskans.”

In October, Giessel stated to public broadcasting that she was unconcerned about the emergency declaration expiring, saying community public health efforts are more important. 

“We have some good, functional logistics in place now in the state,” Giessel said on Oct. 2. “Communities are very nimble in recognizing when they need to shut down.” It was her opinion then that a statewide emergency declaration was no longer needed.

Now, left-leaning legislators, who understand that they will lose power on Jan. 18 when the new Legislature convenes, would like to convene in some way.

Discussions have been underway among those such as hardcore Democrats Rep. Zack Fields and Tiffany Zulkosky, who have been pushing the statewide mask mandate, about how the Legislature might convene via teleconference, using the Zoom program. But how that would circumvent public participation and process is another legal concern for Alaskans.

It was just 18 months ago that leftist legislators refused to convene in a special session that the governor had called in Wasilla, saying it was illegal to convene anywhere but Juneau.

Meanwhile, there are no protocols in place in the Alaska State Capitol to prevent an outbreak if lawmakers suddenly arrive next week to try to hash out the various wants and needs that would arise once they convene.

The public health director in Juneau told legislators it was nearly a guarantee that there would be an outbreak in the Capitol.

Whatever happens next with the governor’s emergency orders, he can only declare an emergency for 30 days at a time without legislative authority, and he cannot extend it after Dec. 15 without some legally sound reason. This means the inevitable end of the flexibility that has allowed the state to function with its hundreds of loosened regulations since last March 11.

Sen. Shelley Hughes is currently top vote-getter in Alaska — higher than Trump

10

A strong turnout of voters in Senate District F, the conservative fortress of Chugiak-Palmer-Mat-Su, swept Sen. Shelley Hughes to victory with more votes than were received by any other state senator in the recent General election.

Although absentee and some early votes are yet to be counted, the turnout in District F is already nearly 41 percent.

Hughes received 10,121 votes so far — decidedly more votes than even Sen. Tom Begich, who was unopposed in his bid for reelection in Senate District J and won 4,339 votes. Sen. Bert Stedman in Senate District R was also unopposed, and received 7,422 votes.

Hughes’ popularity was matched by House members in the district. District 11’s Rep. DeLena Johnson won 5,207 votes and District 12’s Rep. Cathy Tilton, whose vote total eclipsed all other House candidates in 2020 — 5,752.

What makes Sen. Hughes’ vote totals more remarkable is that she had two opponents on the ballot — Jim Cooper, the Democrat and former mayor of Palmer, and Gavin Christiansen, the Libertarian (who is now in jail awaiting trial for murder.) Cooper came away with 2,271 votes and 680 people cast their ballots for Christiansen.

Even with two opponents, however, Hughes won 77.31 percent of the vote.

Hughes said that after the election she received notes from a couple of Democrats saying she had earned their vote because she is a consensus builder and that although they had voted Democrat in all other races, they voted for her because of that.

The numbers bear that out. The top vote-getter in her Senate district, she received slightly more votes than even President Trump, who received 10,110 votes (of votes counted so far).

In fact, Hughes has received more votes in her district than Trump won in any Senate district in Alaska, so far; over 40 percent of the ballots are yet to be counted statewide.

Senate District F also has the distinction, for now, of having the highest voter turnout of any Senate district in Alaska.

Statewide, 192,918 of 595,647 registered voters have had their ballots counted, a statewide turnout of 32.39 percent.

In District 11-F, another 849 early votes and 2,035 absentees remain to be counted, and in District 12-F, 756 early votes and 2,188 absentees are yet to be counted. These numbers may change as more absentee ballots trickle in.

Statewide, 36,268 of 53,231 early votes are already counted; 16,963 are yet to be counted.

The rest of the votes — absentees and some early votes — will be counted next week by the Division of Elections.

Please don’t send in the counselors and the hot cocoa

CONSERVATIVES ARE DOING JUST FINE

By SUZANNE DOWNING

Four years ago, public schools and universities offered counseling for students traumatized by the Trump win.

Parents dropping their students off at urban schools around the country from San Francisco to Boston reported that teachers were weeping uncontrollably, and students were having anxiety attacks. Counselors were advising non-white students that they should fear the new Trump Administration.

Cornell University hosted a “cry-in,” with hot cocoa and tissues on hand. 

Yale University held a “primal scream” event to allow traumatized students to vent, and the University of Pennsylvania featured a puppy and kitten therapy session, so students could snuggle their grief away.

University of Michigan Law School scheduled a “Post-Election Self-Care With Food and Play” with crayons, Play-Doh, and bubbles. The event was cancelled after publicity led to public ridicule of the school, led by conservatives on Twitter.

University of Michigan-Flint created “safe spaces” for students to receive counseling. Many schools and nonprofits just called it a day off for mourning.

And the riots. Oh, so many riots. At universities across the country, the protesters chanted: “F‑‑‑ Donald Trump!” with fists pumping in the air. Many were “peaceful but fiery.”

It seems like just yesterday, but it was Nov. 9, 2016 when large riots broke out in various parts of the country, and protests followed in Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Philippines, Australia, and even Israel. The riots continued for four years, radicalizing a generation as the Democratic Party became more informed by its radical wing. Pussy hats, “believe all women,” Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and Wall of Moms capped off the collective tantrum by rioting every night in the summer and fall of 2020, a curiosity that has been all-but ignored by the media.

Even on Election Night, protesters swarmed through Washington, D.C., which was, by then, largely boarded up against the expected violence. Urban America looks like a war zone even today.

Across America, there are 70 million Trump voters who are not rioting, even though many of them feel the election was not only stolen, but that free and fair elections may be gone forever, due to the anything-goes voting procedures now being accepted across the states. Most Trump voters think ballots appeared as needed in several states.

But the Trump voters are going to work, taking care of their families, and hoping for the best for their nation. They understand that their candidate was flawed and yet, was a fighter for them and all Americans who believe in the Constitution.

Trump voters also see this as an opportunity to retake the House of Representatives in two years, as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris inevitably bow and curtsey to the radical Left, which doesn’t represent mainstream values of most Americans.

The results of the 2020 election are still inconclusive at this writing, and the chain of events that is leading to a probable Biden presidency is deeply unsatisfying.

But what we’re not likely to see are Republicans rocking in the corner with a coloring book and a cup of hot cocoa, a pack of tissues at the ready for the next uncontrollable ugly cry. 

They’re busy keeping America great, with or without their chosen president. They’re busy reloading for 2022.

Educator is person being charged with destroying Don Young signs

15

Charges are pending against Helen Desinger, 68, of Anchorage, who is believed to be behind the destruction of Congressman Don Young campaign signs that were on private property at the corner of Tudor Road and Old Seward Highway.

The incident, which occurred on Oct. 28, is classified as a misdemeanor. Desinger is believed to be the one caught because a security camera recorded the license plate of a vehicle registered to her.

The Alaska Court system has now entered the matter into the court system records online, with a court date of Dec. 29, but the specific charges are not yet noted. Criminal mischief may be the ultimate charge; the value of the signs is probably under $500, depending on the level of destruction and whether the wood was salvageable.

Desinger, who lives in District 28, South Anchorage – Rabbit Creek, has a clean criminal record with not much more than a speeding ticket before this incident. She is a (edited here) retired educator who worked for the nonprofit, South East Regional Resource Center.

Art Chance: You say you want a revolution

52

By ART CHANCE

You say you want a revolution. You’re watching one. Our forefathers would have been shooting already, but for the most part we’ve just lined up like sheep for the slaughterhouse.

A friend of mine jokingly asked, “can we use Alaska Airlines miles to get an upgrade to a better re-education camp?”

The Democrat Party and the bureaucratic state, both arms of the same entity, have used the COVID-19 scam-demic to deprive us of our lives, livelihood, liberty, and property.  

In those parts of the country under Democrat control, the citizenry has essentially been incarcerated. The whole purpose was to force uncontrolled mail ballot voting in the General Election.

The Democrat-controlled media has constantly conflated mail ballots with absentee ballots. Some states, Alaska among  them, are too liberal with absentee voting; you really should have a legitimate reason for not being able to be at your polling place in order to vote absentee. 

Disability and military service are obvious reasons. I don’t mind an early “in person” early vote for someone who will not be in the district on Election Day, but it should require an appearance before an election official, ID, and a sworn statement that you won’t be in the district.

The mail balloting being used in the Democrat states is just the uncontrolled mailing of ballots to everyone on the voter rolls to the address at which they are registered.   

In all states “motor voter” requirements cause anyone who has any contact with government to become a registered voter; Alaska has thousands of registered voters whose only contact with the State is showing up in the spring, signing up for unemployment insurance and welfare, and along the way becoming registered to vote.

 They leave when their Alaska adventure doesn’t materialize or at the end of the summer, but they remain on the voter rolls for a decade or more.

The geniuses who supported Permanent Fund dividend registration only made it worse. Everybody and his dog applies for a PFD and is automatically registered to vote. 

Flash: the Permanent Fund Division of the Department of Revenue, the people who administer the dividend program, have almost no verification or fraud detection capability.   

Instead, the division relies on fraudsters doing or saying something stupid and getting ratted out. Then, the division and the Department of Law make a lot of smoke and noise prosecuting the stupid ones that get caught and try to scare others off. That is the fraud prevention program of the PFD folks, and also the voter registration folks.

I learned about Get Out the Vote operations from a master, the late Matt Reese, the man who stole the presidency for John F. Kennedy. It is only one small step from Get Out The Vote to voter fraud. If you’re doing legitimate GOTV, you use your phone bank to make sure all of your voters have actually voted and to motivate them to vote by offering incentives from just a ride to “walking around money,” which isn’t legal but is very common.   

The next step is once you have identified the voters on your list who haven’t voted, or who don’t exist in the district anymore,  you can vote for them. In the old days, this was almost entirely a blue city phenomenon, because you had to have the cooperation or at least acquiescence of law enforcement. 

Once you had a list of your voters who didn’t exist anymore or who had resisted your attempts to get them to vote, you just saddled up the van at the union hall or the Black church, gave your voters a name, and dropped them off at the polling place to vote.   

This is why the Democrats have always so strenuously resisted voter ID.   Those were the “good old days” when you had to be pretty organized and good at what you did to commit voter fraud.

Fast forward to today’s world of computers, high quality, cheap printers, and mail ballots. In liberal or stupid jurisdictions, the government has allowed early voting and gives anyone who asks for the list of all those who’ve voted. Your campaign can mass mail ballots to every registered voter. You put a crew out to harvest any undelivered or undeliverable ballots. 

In some places you can get a lot of cooperation from unionized Postal Service workers in securing these ballots. Before long, you have a stack of ballots that no voter has used.

 If you have a decent computer guy, you can make all the fake ballots you need as well. I think the current internet rumors of watermarked “canary” ballots is just a PsyOps operation; the Department of Homeland Security isn’t really capable of doing that.

In my working days I used canary documents to run down leaks, but I was looking at groups of at most 15 or 20, and it was tough then. To do it on a national scale takes more resources, skill, and security than the federal government has these days.

Next, you put the phone bank back to work, just like in the old days, to see who is real and who has already voted. Once you have a list of those who aren’t real voters and those who haven’t or aren’t likely to vote, you just cast mail-in ballots for them or in the states that allow third-party delivery of ballots, just send the paid college punk to go deliver the ballots to the election office.

So, that is enough of Voter Fraud 101. I’m not a pro, but a bit above a rank amateur.  

Here is a way forward. The Republicans should have been in court months ago stopping governors and judges from changing election laws. One day, Republicans will learn that there is no legal requirement to be nice.

The only move left on the board is to force the question to the Supreme Court. The Democrats have been committing fraud for generations, and they’re generally quite good at it. Now and then, they get too arrogant and do something stupid, so the Republicans should be mindful of those.  

The recounts will be meaningless; the Democrats will have separated the mailing envelopes from the ballots so there will be no verifiable chain of custody and no way to attach any particular ballot to a name or address; they’re evil but not stupid. There will be no way to put the toothpaste back in the tube in the contested states.

The United States Supreme Court has never ordered a state to re-run an election and isn’t likely to today. So in the face of overwhelming evidence of voter fraud, what does the Court do?   

Well, they could just refuse the case, which means probably the Trump appointee and even Bush appointees on the Court face impeachment, a packed court, or both.

More likely, smart minds prevail. The Court concludes that there is not reasonable remedy in the states where fraud has been demonstrated.   Consequently, those states will not be allowed to cast votes in the Electoral College, the result of which is that neither Trump nor Biden have an EC majority. Absent an Electoral College majority, the election goes to the House of Representatives.

If the election goes to the House of Representatives, each state has one vote.   The Republicans currently have a majority in 27 states, but the math isn’t that simple. There is nothing that binds any Representative to his party or his/her state’s choice. There are many states that have Republican delegations but which have Democrat legislatures, governors, or Attorneys General and Secretaries of State.  

If you think faithless electors in the Electoral College are an issue, wait until the electors are members of the House.

We are destined to live in interesting times.
