Fairbanks leftists seek to quash free speech of conservatives through bogus ethics complaints

By SUZANNE DOWNING

The use of ethics complaints as free speech suppression is taking place in the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly, where efforts to stifle the opinions of conservative members are underway. Think of it as ethics “law fare.”

At the July 25 Assembly hearing, the Assembly will take up an ethics complaint brought against Assemblywoman Barbara Haney by pro-Hamas activist Kristin Schupp, who is the wife of school board member Bobby Burgess.

The ethics allegation involves the words and opinions regarding an actual official position of the borough Assembly.

Borough code is clear on what is an official statement of the Assembly in 3.04.130. It states that (A) The official position of the Assembly is that taken as a result of debate and vote, with the prevailing majority forming the official position.  Provision (B) states that Views and Opinions of individual members of the Assembly are not the official views of the Assembly.  

Thus, anytime an individual is giving an opinion, it is simply that, an opinion. One would think that this is particularly so if it is in an opinion column that is clearly labeled, “opinion.” 

An opinion column by Assemblywoman Haney in the local newspaper apparently spurred the complaint.

It started back on Feb. 20, when a column by Haney was published by the Fairbanks Daily News Miner. It referred to the events around the vote for a special election to raise the tax cap and spend more taxpayer money. In that vote, Assemblywoman Liz Reeves Ramos cited capital projects, such as crumbling stairs at Lathrop High School and asbestos contamination at Tanana Middle School as projects that needed to be addressed and required raising the tax cap.

The projects had not been vetted by the Assembly, nor were they part of the Capital Improvement Project list. Tanana Middle School asbestos abatement was suppose to be part of a remodel project a few years ago and Assemblymember Haney wondered how that could still be an issue. 

Haney further asked why there was no stairwell replacement program at Lathrop High School in the Capital Improvement Project list, and if the stairs were indeed faulty, why were classes still being held at Lathrop. 

The Assembly then voted to hold the Special Election on May 7, and the proposal was resoundingly rejected by voters of the borough.

The story does not end there. 

According to the Schupp complaint, the column written by Haney in the News Miner failed to use the specific phrase “in my opinion as a private citizen,” in an opinion column and did not clearly state she was not writing on the behalf of the Assembly. 

Borough code 3.04.130 is very clear: “Views and opinions of individual members of the assembly are not the official position of the assembly.” Haney wrote the opinion piece from her private email and signed it, “Barbara Haney, North Pole, Alaska.” The newspaper is the entity that added that she was an member of the Assembly.  

By borough code, the matter should never have even been referred to the ethics committee by the borough clerk.  Curiously, a part of borough code that is aimed at public testimony, 6.12.010(O)(2) was applied to the opinion writer even though this had never been done before.

In a subsequent editorial by Assemblywoman Haney regarding the animal shelter, she began the piece with “In my opinion as a private citizen.”  Schupp then wrote a response:

“In Ms. Barbara Haney’s recent community perspective she states that she is commenting in her capacity as public citizen. However, Ms. Haney is still an elected official on the FNSB assembly. Which means that she should still act as would be fitting for a representative, with decorum and truthfulness. Ms. Haney however seems to relish being dramatic and bombastic. She repeatedly demonstrates that she is either willfully ignorant to facts or willfully misleading the public. Both are unacceptable in her position,” Schupp wrote in the Fairbanks News Miner in May.

Schupp is intent on silencing Haney.

The Ethics Committee, with new members appointed by Presiding Officer Savannah Fletcher (now running for state Senate), determined that Haney violated borough ethics, but recommended no punishment.  However, Haney will now have that ethics violation on record. 

Under the new interpretation of borough code given by the ethics committee, several current members of the Assembly have also failed to include the “in my opinion as a private citizen” language, and that none of the training materials of Assembly members included coverage of the need to use that language in opinion pieces as well as in public testimony. The Assembly majority can impose any punishment they want, and the seven member majority will do as they wish. 

But it’s clear that only Haney was selected for enforcement of this provision and is selected for ethics violation. 

Presiding Officer Fletcher could have chosen to leave the matter and move on to matters that are important to citizens. Instead, Fletcher decided to give the phony charge oxygen at the Assembly in order to give Schupp and her allies an opportunity to bash Haney publicly.

This is the same Savannah Fletcher who prosecuted Rep. David Eastman and attempted to remove him from office, and the same Savannah Fletcher who prosecuted Sen. Lora Reinbold and who ridiculously litigated the Mat-Su library book review case. 

Ultimately at issue is the right of free speech.

Under the recent Supreme Court decision of Linke v Freed, elected officials do not lose their rights to the first amendment.  Another Supreme Court decision, Houston College, also codifies the right of public officials to write, publish editorials and opinion pieces. That ruling clarified that censure and other measures are reserved for actions at the dais, and not for expressions of public sentiments. 

While it may be that stating something is an opinion is appropriate for testimony before a board or commission or press releases, it is pretty clear that opinion pieces in an opinion column in the opinion section of the newspaper are simply that, opinions.  

Members of the public can submit comments on this matter at the next borough assembly on July 25. Emails can be sent to [email protected] or one can testify in person or electronically. 

To testify, a person can sign up by calling the clerk at 907-459-1401, sign up at the assembly chambers, or can sit through the Thursday evening testimony and wait for an opportunity to speak.

Peltola refuses to endorse Kamala Harris publicly but will vote for her at Democratic National Convention in August

Peltola refuses to endorse Kamala Harris publicly but will vote for her at Democratic National Convention in August

Rep. Mary Peltola told a CNN reporter that she will make no endorsement for Kamala Harris for president.

“Rep. Mary Peltola, the congresswoman running in a tough reelection in Alaska, among the small number of Dems yet to endorse Kamala Harris,” wrote Manu Raju, a senior political reporter for CNN. To date, there are five Democrats in Congress who have demurred, as Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democrat nominee, may be unpopular with their constituents.

“As a human being I do support her. I do not make any endorsements, though, politically,” Peltola falsely told Raju. Last year, she endorsed President Joe Biden, while Republicans like Vivek Ramaswamy said keeping Biden propped up as a candidate was “elder abuse.”

Peltola endorses Biden, while Vivek Ramaswamy says the president’s campaign is a case of ‘elder abuse’

Polling in Alaska shows that President Donald Trump is all but assured to win the state in what could be a landslide. Peltola is calculating that endorsing Harris would damage her brand and risk her own reelection campaign.

And yet, Peltola is a senior member of the Alaska Democratic Party nominating delegation and the delegation will vote in August for Harris as the party’s nominee. The state delegation, which includes Peltola, quickly already endorsed Harris on Monday, shortly after a national phone call among all state delegations, which have unanimously endorsed Harris immediately after President Joe Biden was said to have signed a letter saying he will not run again.

As of publication time, Biden has not been seen in public for six days. First Lady Jill Biden has also not been seen. President Biden is reportedly returning to the White House on Tuesday and is scheduled to speak to the American public from the Oval Office on Wednesday about why he dropped out of the race.

Watch video: Republicans’ new TV ad exposing Peltola’s bald-faced lies about Biden’s brain

A new television ad is running in Alaska, sponsored by the National Republican Congressional Committee, and it’s directly focused on the dishonesty of Rep. Mary Peltola, who told Americans on national television that President Joe Biden was mentally fit to be president.

White House records show that Peltola met with the president in private on three occasions last year, in addition to the many large-group functions she attended where the president was the host. She also met with Vice President Kamala Harris in private last September.

This is the second ad that the NRCC has done pointing out that Peltola has lied to Alaskans about Biden, but this is the group’s first television ad. Alaska was chosen to have the first television ad produced by the NRCC in any campaign this year, showing that the political action committee intends to prioritize Alaska’s congressional race.

The NRCC has not run TV ads against Peltola in any significant way in the past. It stayed out of Alaska’s mixed-up congressional election in 2022, which included both a special primary, special general, regular primary and regular general, after the death of Rep. Don Young.

Thus, Inside Elections, a poll analytics group, has now shifted the race from “lean Democratic” to “tilt Democratic” in a move toward Republicans, because Peltola is facing her first serious push back through television ads. The shift is also an acknowledgement that Donald Trump will likely carry Alaska easily.

Alaskans will go to the polls in August to determine the top four congressional candidates who will appear on the November ballot. Alaska, since 2022, has held an open primary and a ranked-choice general election. The open primary means that it’s likely that three Republicans and Democrat Peltola will go to the general election ballot, something that may give her an advantage, as it did in 2022.

The ad the NRCC ran previously this summer was on digital platforms only:

Breaking: Secret Service Director Cheatle resigns

The Associated Press reports Tuesday that Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned, following her disastrous testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Monday, and following the agency’s lack of accountability during the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.

The pressure had mounted on Cheatle, with an impeachment charge filed against her on Monday by a representatives and with congressional members from both parties demanding her resignation or firing.

Secret Service director admits most ‘significant operational failure’ in decades

According to AP, she wrote her resignation to the staff in an email:

“I take full responsibility for the security lapse. In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your director.” 

Update: A statement was just released by the White House and attributed to President Joe Biden, who has not been seen for six days:

“Jill and I are grateful to Director Kim Cheatle for her decades of public service. She has selflessly dedicated and risked her life to protect our nation throughout her career in the United States Secret Service. We especially thank her for answering the call to lead the Secret Service during our Administration and we are grateful for her service to our family.

“As a leader, it takes honor, courage, and incredible integrity to take full responsibility for an organization tasked with one of the most challenging jobs in public service. 

“The independent review to get to the bottom of what happened on July 13 continues, and I look forward to assessing its conclusions. We all know what happened that day can never happen again. As we move forward, I wish Kim all the best, and I will plan to appoint a new Director soon.”

Geo-location project: Phone associated with would-be assassin tracked to locations in D.C.

Geo-location project: Phone associated with would-be assassin tracked to locations in D.C.

A cell phone associated with the home and work locations of would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was tracked by private investigators to a building in Washington, D.C., that houses both the Gallery mall and offices of the FBI, the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project reported on Monday.

The Oversight Project began a geo-location investigation soon after the July 13 attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a fairground in Butler, Penn.

Crooks was killed by a Secret Service counter-sniper after shooting at Trump and the crowd just after 6:11 p.m. Trump avoided death by turning his head slightly as he was speaking. A man behind him was killed and two others injured in the spray of bullets.

Read the report and see the maps of the Oversight Project’s geo-location investigation into the phone in question at The Blaze.

The Oversight Project reported on X, “For those that are tracking this type of data, we identified devices that were located at Crook’s home and his work within the past year. There were at least 9 devices linked to these AD-IDs We are willing to cooperate with legitimate investigations and share further information. For the protection of whistleblowers and our investigation, we will not be sharing further information with the congressional task force due to the connective tissue between that entity and FBI, USSS, and other entities.”

Judge upholds petitions in repeal of ranked-choice voting, which means it will be on the ballot in November

Judge upholds petitions in repeal of ranked-choice voting, which means it will be on the ballot in November

A judge has denied election attorney Scott Kendall and his Alaskans for Better Elections group in their efforts to disqualify the repeal of ranked-choice voting from the November ballot by lawfaring the petition booklets submitted to the Division of Elections.

The decision, granted on Friday, ended up in favor of the group that worked to collect tens of thousands of signatures over the course of a year.

Alaskans for Better Elections deployed paid spies to check on the people who were circulating the repeal petitions, to make sure they were not violating statute or regulations that govern petitions. The Alaskans for Better Elections group, with a trio of plaintiffs, challenged dozens of petition booklets and produced videos showing that sometimes the booklets were left unattended, which would be a violation of regulations governing initiative petitions.

But in the end, only a couple of dozen petition books were disqualified by the judge, and enough remained to exceed the minimum required to ask voters if they really want to stick with open primaries and ranked-choice general elections — the type of voting method ushered in by 2020’s Ballot Measure 2, a product of Outside dark money playing in Alaska’s election system.

One claim made by Alaskans for Better Elections is that one of the persons who notarized over 60 booklets had allowed her notary seal to expire. The Division of Elections had decided that this was the kind of error that the petitioners — Alaskans for Honest Elections — could fix. Alaskans for Better Elections objected to the Honest Elections group being able to repair that problem.

In another example, the plaintiffs said there was no way a person could collect over 500 signatures in one day. That was ruled unfounded because Alaskans for Honest Elections was able to show video of the busy venues they went to, including the Alaska State Fair and an event at the Palmer Train Depot, where former Gov. Sarah Palin was the star attraction.

Another example was when business owners who were in charge of petition booklets left them unattended while they left the room. Some of the instances of unattended booklets were caught on video or in photographs by the paid spies of Alaskans for Better Elections; some of those spies embedded themselves into the Alaskans for Honest Elections volunteer group to build the case and the Honest Elections activists had no idea at the time that there were double agents.

Attorney Kendall bought an expert witness from California who advises people on initiative packages before they are filed. That man told the judge that many of the petition booklets were very suspicious. He said that he found one incident where a petition book sponsor had three books going at one time.

But, during deposition he was asked if that is against the law. It is not. The man’s accusations, like this one, fell apart one at a time.

The judge ended up throwing out 27 booklets for various reasons, but in the end, over 34,500 signatures in 33 House districts were acceptable to the judge — more than enough to qualify for November’s ballot.

Congressman files article of impeachment against Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle

Congressman files article of impeachment against Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle

Republican Florida Rep. Greg Steube said today he has filed articles of impeachment against Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who dodged questions during an intense hearing today in the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. During that hearing, members from both parties demanded Cheatle resign, which she refused to do.

Last year, Steube was one of a handful of congressional representatives who filed impeachment articles against President Joe Biden; these were not taken up by the Senate, however.

The article of impeachment against Cheatle is for dereliction of duty by failing to ensure the safety of Donald Trump, who is the leading 2024 Presidential candidate. The Secret Service made decisions that enabled a shooter to target and injure President Trump in an attempted assassination, and to kill an American citizen who was behind Trump.

“The Secret Service calls themselves ‘one of the most elite law enforcement agencies in the world’. What happened under their watch in Butler, Pennsylvania was an international embarrassment and an inexcusable tragedy,” said Steube. “Today I’m exercising our Congressional authority of oversight by filing an article of impeachment against Director Cheatle for her dereliction of duty as it relates to the assassination attempt on President Trump’s life. As she said herself in a recent interview, the “buck stops with me.” Multiple confirmed reports show that the Secret Service Sniper had the would-be assassin in his sights for almost 20 minutes. How was the would-be assassin not neutralized before he shot? Every supervisor in that chain of command should be fired immediately and that starts with the Director.  An American hero is dead and several severely wounded as a result of the Secret Service failure to protect President Trump. There are also multiple reports that Trump’s detail had repeatedly requested additional resources for safety and were denied.  All in the chain of command including the Director should be held responsible,” Steube wrote in his statement.

“Particularly after her abysmal testimony today before the Oversight Committee, where little to no questions were properly answered and she doubled down on her refusal to resign, we have no choice but to impeach Director Cheatle,” he said.

It’s been widely reported that the Secret Service knew of a threat to President Trump before he went out on stage, and that agents had identified the shooter as a person of interest over an hour before the shots were fired.

A Secret Service counter sniper had spotted the shooter on the rooftop with a direct line of sight to President Trump’s stage 20 minutes before the shots were fired.

“By Providence alone, President Trump survived the attempt on his life while being grazed by a bullet that injured his ear. Tragically, a rally attendee, Corey Comperatore, was fatally struck by a bullet in the attack and other rally attendees were injured,” Steube said.

View the Impeachment Article linked here. 

In his impeachment articles against Biden in 2023, Steube listed crimes of bribery, extortion, obstruction of justice, fraud and financial involvement in drugs & prostitution as reasons to impeach Biden.

Steube said the president had undermined the integrity of his office, brought disrepute on the Presidency, betrayed his trust as President, and acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice at the expense of America’s citizens. The evidence continues to mount by the day – the Biden Crime Family has personally profited off Joe’s government positions through bribery, threats, and fraud. Joe Biden must not be allowed to continue to sit in the White House, selling out our country.”

Those articles of impeachment were as follows:

Article 1: “Robert Hunter Biden (Hunter Biden) and James Biden sold access to then Vice President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. (Joe Biden) while he was in office from 2009 to 2017 and sold promised access to a future Biden Presidential Administration while he was out of office from 2017 to 2021. Hunter and James appear to have promised official actions by Joe Biden in return for payments and business opportunities from foreign and domestic business partners. Joe Biden assisted by making appearances, phone calls, meeting with the ‘business partners,’ and knowingly allowing his family members to promise access to him and actions by him in furtherance of these schemes. Hunter Biden threatened business partners that official actions could be taken against them if they did not meet terms or make payments. In at least one instance, Hunter implied that Joe Biden was aware of these threats and willing to assist in enforcing the threats, potentially through official actions. Hunter Biden attempted to enrich himself and the Biden family by threatening official actions from his father, who he claims was willing to assist in the scheme. These acts are abuses of power as well as the following federal crimes or conspiracy to commit the following federal crimes: Bribery of Public Officials, 18 USC § 201; Hobbs Act Extortion ‘Under Color of Official Right,’ 18 USC § 1951; Honest Services Fraud relating to use of official position, 18 USC § 1346.”

Article 2: “According to testimony from IRS whistleblowers, members of the Biden campaign improperly colluded with Justice Department (DOJ) officials to improperly interfere with investigations into tax crimes alleged to have been committed by Hunter Biden. These acts constitute an abuse of power as well as Obstruction of Justice, 18 USC §§ 1505, 1510, 1512.”

The Senate, run by the Democratic Party, refused to take up the articles last year. Still run by Democrats, with Vice President Kamala Harris as a spare vote if there was a tie, it’s unlikely this article of impeachment will proceed.

Angela Rodell, former head of Permanent Fund, in the running for mayor of Juneau

Angela Rodell, former head of Permanent Fund, in the running for mayor of Juneau

Monday is the final day for candidates to file in the City and Borough of Juneau elections. Over the weekend, Angela Rodell, the former executive director of the Alaska Permanent Fund, started collecting the 25 needed signatures to run for city office. It became clear then that the rumors were true: Mayor Beth Weldon, who has served two terms, will not get an easy path to reelection.

Rodell has been a financial consultant for the past few years, since leaving as the CEO of the Alaska Permanent Fund. She had also served as the Commissioner of Revenue, and Deputy Commissioner of Revenue – Treasury Division.

Her filing now shows on the elections tab at the Juneau.org website.

Rodell is a Republican, while current Mayor Beth Weldon is an undeclared — not with any party. Weldon recently lost her husband, served in the fire department, and is well-liked. Rodell will have to work hard to unseat her.

For the most part in Juneau, the mayor has no real power, other than running assembly meetings and ribbon cutting. The city manager answers to the assembly and has far more power than the mayor.

Here are the candidates for Juneau’s municipal election, which is conducted by mail and ends on Oct. 1:

Tim Barto: Times are interesting, and getting interestinger by the day

By TIM BARTO

The 2024 presidential election was already interesting but, let’s face it, it is now the most interesting of our lifetimes.

The incumbent, a mind-wandering geriatric who is arguably the worst president in American history –- scratch that; it’s not even arguable –- vs. a bombastic and twice-impeached former president who is arguably the most hated chief executive in history – scratch that, too; there is no president who has ever received the hate that Donald Trump has received.

We the public have witnessed the ravaging progression of dementia upon Joe Biden. Those of us who have endured the pain of watching our loved ones stumble down that path of confusion and deterioration have also cringed through three and a half years of seeing it happen to the most visible government official in the world; the suffering exacerbated by the hair-pulling frustration that comes with watching the Democrat party ignore, or more often blatantly lie with committee-researched-and-approved phrases about the president being “focused and on point.”  

The public has also seen a legal assault on the former president, Donald Trump, by the incumbent and his political cronies, the likes of which are usually reserved for dictators wearing stern gazes or gawdy uniforms full of meaningless medals.

The use of political power to bring 88 felony charges against a political opponent because he is feared even more than he is hated, is an embarrassment for our legal system and a much bigger threat to democracy than the allegations that Trump himself is a threat to democracy. Again, the frustration factor in watching this happen is elevated by the complicity of the Democrat party and (just as with the dementia issue) a complicit mainstream media. 

A stumbling, bumbling Biden performance in the June debate was painful to watch, even for those of us rooting heartily against him, and it became too much for even the most ardent Biden (or more precisely, anti-Trump) sycophants to bear. A few brave Democrats, fearing a November election loss more than the damage a non-present commander-in-chief could do to our country, began declaring publicly that the emperor wears no clothes . . . an equally unpleasant and not unlikely scenario if not for Dr. Jill hovering over her husband like a mother watching her three-year-old child. 

Palace intrigue indeed. 

On July 13, a would-be-assassin took a shot at the president’s opponent and came within an inch of being a full-fledged-assassin, taking place two days before the challenger’s party convention. It was enough to bring over the Trump-hesitant Republicans, including former Trump primary opponent Nikki Haley.

Trump takes a bullet then stands up defiantly.

Biden takes almost as long ascending an airplane stairwell as some Secret Service agents take to holster their weapons.

Secret Service denied security to Trump for two years. Why?

One can expect energy and enthusiasm to emanate from a party convention –- at least when John McCain or Mitt Romney aren’t the banner carriers –- but when Gold Star Family members take the stage to shout the names and tell the stories of their loved ones who died in military operations and, in doing so, expose front and center Biden’s lie about being the only president to not have any troops die under his command, the president and media could no longer ignore the drumbeat.

The increasing tempo became a deafening roar when Rep. Nancy Pelosi, (no clear-minded spring chicken herself) let her private conversation with the president leak to the press. 

And now it looks like Kamala Harris, the most incoherent person to ever hold the office of vice president, is the Dems’ frontrunner despite approval ratings even lower than those of her boss. While Joe Biden mumbled his words due to dementia, Vice President Harris jumbles her words due to gross incompetence. If the Peter Principle needs a poster child, it needs look no further than the grand philosopher and her favorite, albeit meaningless, word salad, “What can be, unburdened by what has been.”

Nevertheless, a woman (despite being a word that’s difficult to define), and a woman “of color” to boot, is exactly the type of policy imperative the Left is seeking. Competence and coherence have no place when intersectionality reigns supreme. Donations that were withheld from Biden by millionaire Marxists will now flow into the collectivist coffers. 

Meanwhile, Trump’s running mate is a man who has pulled himself up out of poverty by the bootstraps (a concept the Left abhors) and served in the United States Marine Corps. No president or vice president has ever held the title of U.S. Marine, and it’s about time to change that.

Will the Dems stick by Harris? If so, who will be her running mate? If not, who will be on the ticket? Will their Chicago convention be a repeat of the chaos of 1968? Will non-partisans and moderates support either ticket? Is RFK Jr. now more of a viable choice for voters?

Lots of questions and only four months to go, folks. It’s getting interestinger and interestinger by the day.
