The state of Alaska is handing over its elections to the most corrupt politicians in the state. No longer will free and fair elections exist in Alaska.
To have valid election results you need to ensure that all the ballots counted in the process are valid. We learned this in the 2020 Election when millions of invalid ballots were inserted into the election for Joe Biden. Now the state of Alaska wants to hand over its election process to the most corrupt politicians out there.
In the upcoming election in Alaska, two major changes will take effect that will destroy free and fair elections in the state forever. According to Joel Davidson at Alaska Watch:
Alaska’s Division of Elections will not verify the authenticity of voter signatures on the ballots cast in the upcoming June 11 special statewide primary to replace Rep. Don Young.
“There is no statutory authority to verify signatures, but voters will have to provide witness signatures,” a March 25 email from Alaska’s Division of Elections stated.
Since this will be the first time Alaska has ever conducted a statewide mail-in election, concerns have been raised about how the state will ensure that voters are who they claim to be.
Nationally, the most common way of verifying mail-in ballots is to have elections officials verify that a voter’s signature matches the signature on file with the division of elections.
The state won’t pass bills that prevent voter fraud through the verification of signatures.
Multiple bills have been introduced in the current legislative session to address voter integrity issues, including voter signature verification, but they have languished in various House and Senate committee assignments. Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer submitted legislation to the current Legislature to address this issue, but his Senate Bill 167 has languished in the Senate State Affairs Committee since Jan. 18th with no movement. Several other bills dealing with voter signature verification have been introduced, including House Bill 96 by Gov. Mike Dunleavy. That bill has stalled in the House State Affairs Committee.
Because of this, the upcoming election will be mail-in ballots but no signatures will be checked. What could go wrong?
In addition, Alaska’s voter rolls are outdated and include more names than registered voters.
Since Alaska has one of the most bloated voter registration rolls in the nation, it is a certainty that thousands of mail-in ballots will be sent to outdated addresses where the voter on file no longer resides.
Alaska’s state’s voter rolls ballooned to 103% of registrations as of 2018 – the highest in the nation by a wide margin. That means there are tens of thousands of registered voters who either no longer live in Alaska or have died. And the predicament isn’t getting any better. In 2020 Alaska’s voter registration skyrocketed to 118%. This mounting problem coincides with a 2016 law which allowed the state to automatically register Alaskans when they apply for a PFD.
Why will the people of Alaska not demand free and fair elections? With these control weaknesses, you can be sure the results of the upcoming election will be invalid.
French President Emmanuel Macron responded to Joe Biden’s unscripted remarks about regime change in Russia by saying that he “wouldn’t use such words,” and warned against escalation.
The White House has since corrected the president and said that regime change is not the official policy, the second time they had to correct him in as many days.
Biden’s assertion that Putin is a “butcher” who “cannot remain in power” drew widespread concern and anger across the globe.
On Sunday, when asked about Biden’s remarks, Macron stopped just short of outright condemning him.
Speaking to France 3, Macron said that his goal is “achieving first a ceasefire and then the total withdrawal of [Russian] troops by diplomatic means.”
“If we want to do that, we can’t escalate, either in words or actions,” Macron asserted.
Macron stressed that while the US is a vital ally, and share many “common values”, it is the Europeans who live next to Russia.
Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov also responded to Biden’s unplanned commentary by noting that the president cannot seem to control his temper or emotions.
“A national leader has to keep a cool head,” Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov said, adding that “personal insults narrow the window” for diplomacy.
Vyacheslav Volodin, president of the lower house of parliament, added that “Biden is weak, sick and unhappy.”
Hunter Biden infamous ‘laptop from Hell’ contains many U.S. Department of Defense ‘root encryption certificates’, or encryption keys to DoD databases. The keys have unusual long-term expiration dates, with many lasting twenty years or more.
This information was discovered during a deep forensic investigation done over the last couple weeks, by Jack Maxey and his team in Switzerland.
This situation raises multiple questions, such as…
Why did Hunter Biden have a large number of Department of Defense encryption codes to allow access to national security data?
Did Hunter Biden give anyone else access to this information?
Who gave the codes to Hunter Biden?
Why do the codes have long-term expiration dates, when the usual practice is to provide a user access only during his ‘need to know’, or time in the job, which is usually 2-3 years at most?
This report coincides with our reporting on October 27, 2020, where we pointed out Hunter’s ties with Russians.
A related post at the Illustrated Primer from November 3, 2020, shared much of what was in our report along with an additional image not in our report at TGP. This image (Number 8) provides an example of Hunter’s access to government systems.
Image 8: Sample screenshot showing Hunter accessing secure US.gov content. His password was the name of his favorite man’s clothing store in Beverly Hills. Hunter kept his passwords and other classified and sensitive information in unprotected notes and text files on multiple devices.
How much damage did the Biden family cause America?
Actor Sean Penn says that he will publicly smelt his Oscar awards if the the Academy does not let Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speak.
In an interview with CNN, Penn demanded that the Academy has an “obligation” to give the Ukrainian president a platform during their show.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences award show airs on Sunday.
“There is nothing greater that the Academy Awards could do than to give (Zelenskyy) an opportunity to talk to all of us. It is my understanding that a decision has been made not to do it. That is not me commenting on whether or not President Zelenskyy had wanted to,” Penn said.
Penn has won Oscars for his roles in Milk and Mystic River.
In February, Penn was in Ukraine filming a documentary for Vice.
“If the (Academy has) elected not to pursue the leadership in Ukraine, who are taking bullets and bombs for us, along with the Ukrainian children that they are trying to protect, then I think every single one of those people and every bit of that decision will have been the most obscene moment in all of Hollywood history,” Penn continued.
Penn further urged people to boycott the show if Zelenskyy is not invited to speak.
“If it comes back to it, I will smelt mine in public. I pray that’s not what’s happened. I pray there have not been arrogant people, who consider themselves representatives of the greater good in my industry, that have (decided against checking) with leadership in Ukraine. So I’m just going to hope that that’s not what’s happened. I hope (every attendee) walks out if it is,” Penn said.
As of Sunday afternoon, no decision has been publicized about whether or not Zelenskyy will be appearing.
“Academy officials still are debating on whether Zelenskyy will indeed appear briefly on the show, sources said. It’s also not clear if he would appear live or in a taped message. Sources said the debate centers on whether the Oscars should remain apolitical as the Russian invasion of Ukraine rages on,” the New York Post reports.
The Oscars have been in a ratings free fall since the shows became massively political during the Trump administration.
“ABC, which is broadcasting the show, is said to be in favor of Zelenskyy, a former actor, making a statement. ABC did not return requests for comment,” the Post report continued.
Actress Mila Kunis, who was born in Ukraine, and her husband Ashton Kutcher, are expected to make a statement during the show. They have raised $35 million for Ukrainian refugees.
They have been thanked for their efforts by Zelenskyy himself.
The Miami-Dade County Animal Services has issued a warning for dog owners and urged them to avoid taking their pets to public places due to a contagious disease spreading throughout South Florida.
According to the Veterinary nurse’s website, CIRDC is a highly contagious disease transmissible via the oronasal route, inhalation, and direct contact.
“A disease that is caused by multiple viruses and bacteria that pretty much infect the respiratory tract of dogs and can cause pretty severe infection including pneumonia,” said Miami-Dade County Animal Services Chief Veterinarian Dr. Maria Serrano.
A recent increase in the number of Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex cases across South Florida has one county warning dog owners to be on the lookout.
Miami-Dade Animal Services is urging owners to help protect their pets from the spread of the virus by keeping dogs on current vaccine routines, avoiding dog parks or other areas with multiple dogs, and with visits to their veterinarian.
MDAS is also suspending spay and neuter surgeries along with vaccinations and microchipping at its Wellness Clinic, owner surrender and offsite pet adoption events.
CIRDC is highly contagious and can pose a serious health risk to dogs. The disease can spread rapidly among dogs that are housed together or those in close proximity to each other such as in kennels, dog parks or grooming facilities.
CIRDC is spread by direct contact with an infected dog and by contact with people who have been exposed to the virus. The virus can be carried on people’s clothing, hands, and on items such as food and water bowls, collars, leashes, toys, and bedding.
Coughing dogs produce virus-containing mists that can travel 20 feet or more. Symptoms include coughing, sneezing, and discharge from the nose and/or eyes.
If you think your dog is showing signs of CIRDC, contact your vet immediately. The virus is easily killed by most disinfectants, handwashing with soap, washing clothes and bedding, along with washing food bowls and toys.
Since Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 election, Big Tech in coordination with far-left groups has been working tirelessly to eliminate conservative voices and content on the internet.
The Gateway Pundit has been a prime target of this internet jihad by Big Tech. In 2016 The Gateway Pundit was the fourth most influential conservative publisher on Facebook in 2016 according to Harvard and Columbia Journalism Review studies. Since that time Facebook eliminated our reach by 90% using excuses of fake news, conspiracy, and click-bait. This is after the liberal mainstream media pushed the fake Trump-Russia collusion narrative for over three years.
Conservative publishers (who aren’t having dinner with Mark Zuckerberg) have seen their traffic from Facebook diminished by more than 90%.
If you combine the total number of page-views lost by conservative online publishers since 2017 you are looking at a loss of over 1.5 billion page-views from Facebook in one year.
Conservatives saw the same tactics used by Twitter, Google, Wikipedia and even Pinterest of eliminating and censoring conservative content.
Back in 2019 Tucker Carlson called out old-school conservative groups for working with big tech companies as they continue on a daily basis to eradicate conservative content online.
Obviously, The Heritage Foundation was outraged that they were called out by Tucker Carlson and released a response at the time.
The conservative Heritage Foundation pushed back on Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Saturday after he sharply criticized the organization during a segment on tech policy.
Carlson blasted the foundation and other groups during his show Friday night, arguing that Beltway conservative organizations have “colluded with big tech to shield left-wing monopolies from any oversight.”
In specifically going after Heritage, where Carlson used to work, the host asserted, “As an organization, Heritage no longer represents the interests of conservatives, at least on the question of tech.”
He also criticized one paper from the group, which he alleged “defends the special privileges that Congress has given to left-wing Silicon Valley monopolies.”
The foundation fired back in a statement on Saturday, accusing the television personality of making “several false, outrageous, and unfounded accusations.”
“Rather than engage in a substantive policy debate, he chose instead to make ad hominem attacks and question our integrity. We are disappointed this came from someone whom we admire and respect,” said Heritage Foundation Vice President of Communications Rob Bluey.
He added that Carlson “failed to acknowledge Heritage experts’ consistent criticism of technology companies” and defended the report’s conclusion as “based on the principles that guide all of our policy recommendations.”
But Tucker Carlson was right. Several old-school conservative groups have been getting paid by the tech giants as conservative voices are silenced online. Thanks to an accidental piece by The Wall Street Journal back in January we know there are several conservative organizations being paid by the tech giants as the organizations continue to censor and eliminate conservative voices. This was outrageous and vile behavior.

Alphabet Inc.’s Google contributes to more than 200 third-party groups, including the Heritage Foundation, National Cyber Security Alliance, and Americans for Tax Reform.
These payments were made while the conservative bloodbath by the Tech Giants was roaring ahead.
These so-called conservative groups were being paid, essentially for their silence, as Facebook eliminated conservative content and killed off conservative publishers.
Facebook has privately sought advice from the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian public-policy group, and its founder Anthony Perkins, according to people familiar with those meetings. Twitter’s Chief Executive Jack Dorsey recently hosted dinners with conservatives, including Grover Norquist, the founder and president of Americans for Tax Reform, which advocates for lower taxes. Advisers on the left include the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil-rights group that keeps a list of hate groups…
…While outside groups are technically unpaid, the tech companies contribute to some of the organizations they are seeking out for guidance. Alphabet Inc.’s Google contributes to more than 200 third-party groups, including the Heritage Foundation, National Cyber Security Alliance, and Americans for Tax Reform, according to the company. Facebook and most other companies don’t disclose their donations to outside groups.
Executives see the outreach to a cross-section of groups in part as a form of political protection, to defend against the allegation that they are biased against conservatives, a complaint lodged repeatedly last year by President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers. Some of the conservative groups tapped recently by tech platforms complain that the companies defer too closely to the Southern Poverty Law Center when defining what constitutes hate speech.
Many companies and other groups rely on the center’s list of hate groups, counting nearly 1,000 across the U.S., according to its website. The group also writes about some of those groups on its “Hatewatch” blog.
Keegan Hankes, a senior research analyst at the Southern Poverty Law Center, says the group lobbies tech platforms to remove content it considers hate speech, such as when it successfully asked Facebook to remove content posted by the League of the South, a neo-Confederate group.
Now this…
The Heritage has suddenly had a change of heart now that estimate they have lost an estimated $100 million due to Big Tech censorship. And they are joined a conservative group against censorship. President Kevin Robert even said, “Big Tech is an enemy of the American people.”
That’s not me making this claim. It’s not Donald Trump. It’s not even Steve Bannon.
It’s the conservative Heritage Foundation.
“The think tank announced this week “that it is joining the Free Speech Alliance, a coalition of more than 90 conservative organizations working together to ensure conservatives’ free speech online and to hold tech companies accountable when they undermine it.”
The only thing I would say about that statement is that it underestimates the extent of Big Tech’s undermining of free speech. They undermine it every day of the week. They undermine it twice on Sunday. They undermine it more than a billion times a second. They couldn’t possibly undermine it any more than they do. They undermine it every chance they get…

What did it take to drive the august Heritage Foundation to reach this critical decision?
In February, YouTube censored a video posted to The Daily Signal’s YouTube channel in which Virginia parent Merianne Jensen criticized unscientific and harmful school mask mandates, claiming it “violated” the platform’s “COVID-19 medical misinformation policy.” (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s news site.)
Last year, Amazon removed paid ads promoting a book by Heritage senior fellow Mike Gonzalez titled, “BLM: The Making of a New Marxist Revolution,” because content that “revolves around controversial or highly debated social topics is not permitted.” After a public pressure campaign, Amazon reversed itself and restored the ads.
In 2020, one of Heritage’s YouTube videos on gender dysphoria was censored by the company, while in 2019, The Daily Signal reported that YouTube had also removed a similar video on its YouTube channel.
And in early 2019, then-Heritage President Kay C. James was invited to be a member of Google’s new AI board, only for Google to dissolve the board after an outcry from company employees that James, a conservative, was asked to be on the board.
This is a good lesson for every conservative group out there taking money from Big Tech for your silence. Eventually, your number will come up.
Sorry it took you so long, Heritage. Hope you don’t make the same mistake again.
A federal jury has awarded $14 million in compensatory and punitive damages to 12 Black Lives Matter protesters who were injured by police during a riot over the death of George Floyd in 2020.
The jury decided that the protesters constitutional rights were violated by the Denver Police over their use of less-lethal weapons to try and break up the riot.
“The violence and destruction that occurred around the community required intervention,” one of Denver’s lawyers, Lindsay Jordan, told the jurors.
The activists sued the City and County of Denver and former police officer Jonathan Christian.
Christian was accused of shooting current state legislative candidate Elisabeth Epps with a pepper ball.
“The jurors found Christian violated Epps’ Fourth Amendment rights and awarded her $250,000 in punitive damages. They denied her First Amendment claims against him,” the Denver Gazette reports. “At trial the two sides disputed whether the pepper ball fired by Christian actually hit Epps. She said after the verdict came down it had felt ‘disorienting’ for the city to challenge her account of what she experienced.”
Attorneys for the protesters claimed their clients never assaulted officers or destroyed property.
The payouts are as follows:
Claire Sannier: $1 million
Stanford Smith: $1 million
Zachary Packard: $3 million
Sara Fitouri: $1 million
Maya Rothlein: $1 million
Amanda Blasingame: $1 million
Joe Deras: $1 million
Elle Taylor: $1 million
Ashlee Wedgeworth, $750,00
Jackie Parkins: $1 million
Elisabeth Epps: 1 million in compensatory damages, $250,000 in punitive damages
Hollis Lyman: $1 million
NBC News reports, “in Austin, Texas, officials have agreed to pay over $13 million to people injured in protests in May 2020, and 19 officers have been indicted for their actions against protesters. Last month, two police officers in Dallas accused of injuring protesters after firing less lethal munitions were charged.”
A Brazilian singer suffered severe stomach pain allegedly due to holding farts for too long whenever around with her boyfriend.
The 27-year-old Brazilian singer Viviane de Queiroz Pereira, also known by her stage name Pocah, shamelessly admitted on her Instagram story that she was hospitalized for “trapped gas” for holding her farts for an extended of time because she was too embarrassed to cut one in front of her boyfriend.
Pocah thought she was having a kidney problem or appendicitis.
“I’m now fine. Just an accumulation of trapped farts,” Pocah reportedly said in a post to her almost 16 million Instagram followers.
“Girls, don’t be ashamed to fart in front of your guy. Because what’s really embarrassing is not letting your guy sleep because you’re in discomfort, going to the hospital with your guy, and the diagnosis being ‘trapped farts.’ From now on, I’m letting them rip, guys. I’m medicated and I’m fine,” Pocah said.
According to Healthline, holding in a fart can cause immediate pain, discomfort, bloating, indigestion, heartburn in the short term.
Another article from the Conversation said, “trying to hold it in leads to a build-up of pressure and major discomfort. A build-up of intestinal gas can trigger abdominal distension, with some gas reabsorbed into the circulation and exhaled in your breath. Holding on too long means the build-up of intestinal gas will eventually escape via an uncontrollable fart.”
“The research is not clear on whether the rise in pressure in your rectum increases your chance of developing a condition called diverticulitis, where small pouches develop in the gut lining and become inflamed – or whether it doesn’t matter at all,” the Conversation continued.
Of course, COVID is affecting kids but the major effects are due to the medical community’s over-reactions and despotic orders and not due to the coronavirus itself.
Respect for the US medical community has greatly diminished since the beginning of COVID.
Doctors around the country just followed orders rather than looked at the data. Still today doctors are pushing their clients to take the COVID vaccine. (I visited a doctor the other day and he said not taking the COVID vaccine is like “riding a bike without a helmet”.) Yet we’ve reported multiple instances where individuals have gotten sick, injured, or even died from the vaccine. We’ve watched people lose their jobs for not taking the experimental vaccine and yet people are still contracting COVID once they’ve received the vaccine.
COVID’s impact on children was almost negligible from the start. We knew in early 2020 that the disease was not killing children (almost without exception), and those dying from COVID were the elderly and sickly with comorbidities. This has never changed.
The argument that children are not dying from the disease led people to ask why children were kept home from school or made them wear masks when in public?
The Mayo Clinic responded to these obvious questions recently by releasing information that “COVID is affecting kids”. But their argument is that their actions have the most significant negative impacts on children and not COVID itself. Yet they walk around this and don’t address it.
The response from the clinic starts by pushing the vaccine on children.
One of the most common questions parents ask Dr. Ameenuddin is whether children really need to get vaccinated for COVID-19.
“What I’ve stressed to them is that we’ve actually gotten a lot of good information over the past couple of years (about COVID-19’s effects on children), especially the last year, that the vaccines are incredibly effective in preventing very severe side effects,” says Dr. Ameenuddin.
One particular rare and serious side effect of COVID-19 is multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C. Dr. Ameenuddin says among those who have gotten multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, almost all were unvaccinated.
“Vaccination, even if a child still gets sick, makes them much less likely to be sick enough to be hospitalized or die, which, unfortunately, has been happening.”
What the Mayo Clinic does not share is the support for these statements. Also, there are reports that the medical community gets paid for COVID-related responses and Big Pharma is given freedom from liability when enough children are given their vaccines. These items are not discussed in their report.
The clinic provides some bizarre reasons for giving children the vaccine and then jumps into the many negative side effects that children are suffering from but these are related to the medical community’s responses and actions and not COVID itself.
Why is this not discussed? What happened to the medical community’s desire to get to the root cause of health issues?
Unfortunately, this message from the once brilliant and respected Mayo Clinic fell flat.
Amid Europe’s largest land war since World War II, 7 in 10 Americans expressed low confidence in President Joe Biden’s ability to deal with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in a new NBC News poll, and 8 in 10 voiced worry that the war will increase gas prices and possibly involve nuclear weapons.
And during the nation’s largest inflation spike in 40 years, overwhelming majorities said they believe the country is headed in the wrong direction and disapproved of the president’s handling of the economy.
Those are some of the major findings of the new national NBC News poll, which found that Biden’s overall job approval rating had declined to 40 percent, the lowest level of his presidency. The survey also found that Republicans enjoyed a 2-point lead in answer to which party should control Congress ahead of November’s midterm elections.
Biden’s job rating among all adults participating in the poll stands at 40 percent who approve of his performance, and 55 percent who disapprove — the lowest mark of his presidency in the NBC News poll, though the movement is within the poll’s margin of error.
In January, Biden’s overall job rating stood at 43 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove.
