Yesterday a South Korean 747-8 sat on the ramp at Ted Stevens like it belonged there. It did not. President Lee Jae-myung and First Lady Kim Hea-kyung were on a technical stop coming home from Mexico City to Seoul. Mexico City Felipe Ángeles to Gimpo, with Anchorage in the middle because that is still how the long polar hops work when you need fuel and you do not want to stretch the airplane. The jet was Korean Air Force One, tail 22-001, the government 747-8B5. People who watch the field called it Code One. That bird does not drop into ANC often. When it does, you notice. They got flowers on the tarmac. Then Lee sat down with the Korean reporters who had been riding the trip and had coffee before the airplane pointed west again. That was the whole official schedule here. Not motorcade through town. We didn’t any speech at the chamber. Gas in the tanks, some food, a quiet stroll around our beautiful state, and gone. Say what you want about Anchorage. The passenger tech-stop bye era is mostly a memory, but the geography never moved. Yet, This airport still sits on the short line between East Asia and the Americas. Alaskans know 💯 of Cargo already knows that. A head-of-state 747 just reminded everyone else. Here is the part that should matter more than the photo. The same week Lee was talking with Trump in New York about shipbuilding, nuclear work, and that pile of promised U.S. investment. Alaska LNG is still on the list. Not signed, not funded at the old $67 billion ask, and Seoul is only talking a smaller slice if the numbers hold. But it is on the table. North Slope gas, a long pipe, an export plant, Korean steel and Korean money if they actually write the check. So yes, enjoy the rare airplane. It is a good shot. Just do not miss what it was sitting on. A president whose country is being asked to help pay for Alaska gas stopped here long enough to take flowers and fill up. That is not diplomacy theater. That is the map doing what the map has always done. ANC is still the place where the long flights have to tell the truth that you can’t travel internationally without stopping here.

York and all the other good boys 🫡🇺🇸
Some of the most effective soldiers in the Korean War walked on four legs, went out ahead of everyone else into the darkness, and could smell an ambush before any human knew it was there. They were the scout dogs, and one of them, a German Shepherd named York, led a hundred and forty eight combat patrols without losing a single man. Night patrol in Korea was terrifying work. Small groups of men crept out into no man's land in the pitch black, hunting the enemy or screening the line, never knowing when they might walk straight into a hidden machine gun, a waiting ambush, or an infiltrating enemy squad. In that blind, nerve shredding darkness, the Army had a secret weapon that the enemy could not fool. A dog's nose and ears. The 26th Infantry Scout Dog Platoon was the only active scout dog unit to serve in the Korean War, and over two years its dogs and handlers took part in more than fifteen hundred combat patrols, almost all of them at night. A trained scout dog walked point, out front, silently alerting its handler to the scent or sound of the enemy long before a person could detect anything, freezing, ears up, nose working, giving the patrol precious seconds to stop, take cover, and avoid the trap. It worked so well it is almost hard to believe. The dogs of that platoon were credited with cutting casualties among the patrols they led by around sixty five percent. Two out of every three men who might have been killed or wounded came home instead, because a dog was walking ahead of them in the dark. York was the most famous of them, a German Shepherd who ran an astonishing one hundred and forty eight patrols and never lost a man on any of them. Others, with names like Arlo and Champ and Hasso, had their own legends. Arlo is credited with saving his entire patrol from walking into a certain ambush. These dogs earned real decorations, and the platoon as a whole was showered with Silver Stars and Bronze Stars for the lives it saved. They are one of the loveliest and least known footnotes of the war. In a conflict full of terrifying new machines, jets and tanks and artillery, some of the most reliable protection a frightened young soldier had on a black Korean night was a dog padding quietly ahead of him, nose to the wind, ready to freeze at the first hint of danger and, without ever firing a shot, save every man behind it.

Last week, the Fairbanks Areawide Narcotics Team coordinated a multi-agency task force to apprehend multiple suspects and search multiple residences for drugs, guns, and proceeds from drug trafficking. SWAT members from Fairbanks and Matsu worked with local, state and federal agencies to execute search warrants at seven residences in the Fairbanks area. Over 50 people were contacted and ten arrests were made. Law enforcement seized more than one pound of methamphetamine, over $18,000, and three guns. The street value of the drugs seized is between $11,200 and $12,800, in the Fairbanks area. Read more about the operation at: ow.ly/R5V150ZRccC

Cpl. Cazarez 🫡🇺🇸
This is another Unknow Hero. Cpl. Roberto Cazarez was only 24 years old when he gave his life serving his country in Afghanistan. He wasn't a headline. He wasn't a famous general. He was a young Marine doing the job he volunteered to do, alongside his brothers, in a combat zone. March 30, 2012 — Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Cpl. Cazarez, assigned to 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, made the ultimate sacrifice while conducting combat operations during Operation Enduring Freedom. Semper Fidelis. 🇺🇸🌎⚓

Jones Act: The more I learn about this, the more I hate it. Did you know Seattle refers to itself as “Alaska’s Southern Office”? They gorge themselves on the downstream economic ecosystem that exists because of Alaska’s wealth of resources. As a state, we seriously need to start looking at how to untether ourselves from this. It is such a deceptively horrendous piece of legislation. Seattle waves it as a banner and bastion of protection of American marine interests. For Alaska and Hawaii — it was never that. It was about Washington ensuring it maintained the upper hand when it comes to seafaring economy and cash flow. Alaskans really should be more upset about this.
Replying to @cpgrabow
The Jones Act: An Alaskan Perspective by an Alaskan 🥁 It is weaponized logistics on behalf of Seattle to ensure the state of Washington maintains control over the comings and goings of Alaska’s resources. Why? Money. Power. Control. They hijacked our fisheries, our shipping, the economy, employment, the cost of goods in both directions…. We should just call it ‘The Alaska Tax’ because that’s essentially what it is. But that doesn’t really do the betrayal of this act justice. So, we’ll call it what it really is: An economic noose forced around the neck of a state that wasn’t fully a state at the time the Jones Act was penned. And one that we’ve never been able to untether ourselves from. It was an opportunistic, advantage-taking move that likely earned the illustrious Mr. Jones plenty of fat stacks himself. The Jones Act was crafted by a state masquerading as Alaska’s friend while forcing a marriage contract claiming to protect when it really was: indentured servitude in a fancy dress. Solution? Abolish the Jones Act. Or at the very least — exempt ALL non-contiguous states and territories from subjugation of this abusive, monopolistic relationship by narcissistic, money-grabbing Washington state. Seattle is a pompous blood-sucking leech and does nothing but get fat and happy off Alaska while draining the life out of our economy and crippling us. It’s cost Alaska and Alaskans a cumulative tens of billions of dollars in lost potential revenue and personal wealth over the last century. Seattle’s clawed grip on our state needs hacked off at the wrist. The average American and Alaskan doesn’t have a clue how bad the Jones Act is for Alaska and Hawaii. It’s high time Seattle learns how to exist without exploiting other states in order to float its boats and process fish in the name of ‘protecting American interests.’ They’re lying, deceptive thieves.

If China is the concern, ban Chinese ships. Making it easier for Americans to source American products from other Americans seems like a good thing for the US economy and its national security. Hawaii and Puerto Rico's newfound ability to buy US propane, for example, is a win. – at Washington, DC

Salty…. Seriously 🤦‍♀️ Look into the history of the Jones Act. The entire history as it pertains to Alaska and not the parts that include the positive marketing and PR spin that benefit the Port of Seattle. It’s NOT good for Alaska. It never was intended to be. It was intended to max benefit WA. As far as 🇨🇳…. Also 😑🤦‍♀️ I used to live in the far east. I understand more than many the situation with 🇨🇳. The fact the Jones Act brings economic benefit does not = good for Alaska and Alaskans. The fact this was embedded in a piece of cabotage legislation… it was absolutely diabolical. And it cannot be allowed to remain like this. It’s not good.

Sgt. Porter 🫡🇺🇸
Two enemy platoons stormed his little outpost and killed two of the three men holding it. That left Sergeant Donn Porter alone. He held the position by himself, killed fifteen of the enemy with his rifle, and when a second wave charged to overrun him, he jumped out with his bayonet and killed six more in hand to hand fighting before an artillery shell finally killed him. Porter was an Army sergeant, an airborne ranger, manning a forward combat outpost near Mundung-ni on September 7, 1952. An outpost like that sits out ahead of the main line as a tripwire and a shield, and it is a lonely, exposed place to be. Porter had a three man crew. Then the enemy came, two full platoons, advancing under a heavy curtain of mortar and artillery fire. They knocked out his communications, cutting him off from the rear, and in the assault two of his three men were killed. In moments Porter had gone from a small outpost crew to a single soldier, alone, cut off, with two enemy platoons closing on him. He did not pull back. He stayed at his position and poured accurate fire into the attackers, and he was deadly with it. He killed fifteen of the enemy and broke up the first assault, forcing the survivors to fall back. But they regrouped and came again, storming forward to overrun the outpost once and for all. And Donn Porter, still alone, did the last thing they expected. He fixed his bayonet, jumped out of his position, and met the charge head on in close combat, killing six enemy soldiers hand to hand and routing the attack a second time. It was as he was returning to the outpost, the enemy broken and driven off, that an artillery burst caught him and killed him. But his one man stand had done far more than save an outpost. It had shattered what was meant to be a surprise attack on the main line of resistance behind him, thwarting the whole enemy plan. Donn Porter was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor and lies at Arlington. One sergeant, alone on an outpost, who beat back two platoons with a rifle and then a bayonet, and stopped a surprise attack on an entire line by refusing to fall.
