The real reason that Mitt Romney choose not to seek reelection as Utah's junior US Senator

 Utah is a state where the party can choose their nominee not the people through a state convention process.  In 2010 The Utah Republican Party choose Mike Lee the current senior US Senator over Bob Bennett to represent the Republicans in Utah for election.  Mitt saw the tea leaves written on the wall knew that the state Republican leader would replace him with another candidate.  Now Utah Republicans can now elect a common sense candidate to replace him. 

Could Chris Tuck end up as the next mayor of Anchorage?

  

 

 

 This article was originally written on August 29th.

The video above is Chris's views on Homeless problem which he has a perspective that we need even fresh eyes on this issue.  Maybe he will adopt what Mayor Bruce Harrell who was elected in 2021 in Seattle who's parents are friends of Quincy Jones. 

Could Chris Tuck become the next mayor of Anchorage here is why.  Chris unlike Suzanne and Dave are on the current Anchorage Assembly scene.  Chris has in the state gone against his party in the legislature by voting for the maximum amount of PFD provided by law.   He will be more like a Mark Begich type of mayor who kept property taxes down. 

Not only will he have Republican support he also has Democrat support as well with people like Elvi Gray-Jackson who served as State Senator and former legislature.  I also believe he could be like Rick Mystrom in 2003 which many conservatives supported him over Wuerch.  Due to a retroactive proposition that lowered the threshold for Mayor to 45 percent plus one that is how Mark Begich was elected without a runoff. 

She and Harriett Drummond who were the Assembly together just Harriet got a 6 year head start in Juneau over Elvi have already endorsed him.  I would not be surprised that Bill Wielechowski who is a State Senator I voted for recently in the 2022 even though I meant to vote for his opponent.  Decides to support him.  I will also be surprise of some members of the current Assembly choose to support him over Suzanne.  I will not be making blog endorsement until probably March.  

Could Tuck end Bronson as mayor we shall see.

Current North Bend Cafe owners keep the Twin Peaks Tradition alive at historic diner

It is great that Twede's Cafe owners Rachel Bennet and Mark Spears have decided to keep the Twin Peaks tradition at this historic diner which was built in 1941 at the SE Corner of North Bend Blvd aka SR 202 and North Bend Way.  

 

As everybody in my hometown of North Bend knows that Twin Peaks really help the tourist industry in the Upper Snoqualmie Valley in the early 1990's when the environmentalist ruined the logging industry for timber towns in Washington State.  In 1941 North Bend was starting to transition into a trucking town the complete transformation did not happen til about 1975.  Tourism is what save most logging towns in Washington State from becoming ghost towns in the 1990's.   

Here is a link to their website if you to order food or check their menu.  https://www.twedescafe.com/

This cafe started as Thompson's Cafe in 1941 then in the 1950's the name of the cafe was changed to the Mar T Cafe which became an iconic landmark of the rural town.  From 1990 to 1993 this place was known by the pretend name of the Double R Diner in the show Twin Peaks which only lasted one season on ABC in 1990 they did make a movie known as Fire Walk with Me which was before the actual show.  The current owners bought the diner in 2020 as Twede's Cafe which was rebuilt after a fire in 2000 and renamed.

 

This diner has been a stable of Snoqualmie Valley history since 1941 as a place for locals to gather and tell stories about their day.  

Please continue to eat at this historic cafe and enjoy a piece of Snoqualmie Valley lifestyle and history in my home town. 

 

DONALD TRUMP NEEDS TO DROPOUT OF GOP CONTEST ENDORSE SCOTT

 

Here is why Donald Trump needs to drop out of the GOP primary.  If you look at the GOP Primary schedule and the court schedule.  You can not have a nominee who may be running a campaign from a possible jail cell.  We need a nominee who is campaigning and rally not going from court to court.  Here is a link to the National GOP primary schedule https://www.ncsl.org/elections-and-campaigns/2024-state-primary-election-dates then you have the Trump court schedule which is developing which may get in the way of the primary schedule. 

If Biden versus Trump could give us President Harris or Cantwell.  I do not want Kamala Harris or Maria Cantwell as President.  The reason I put Maria Cantwell as a possibility because Harris has too many negatives and Cantwell would be a better choice for a Democrat successor due to Biden not being able to complete 2nd term.  Washington State just like Texas you can run for two offices at the same time. 

Tim Scott is a real conservative who actually energizes Americans who can win over Black America.  He has a story that will help country folk Americans.  

 

Plus he could actually help Tim Scott be at the top of the ticket as campaigner in chief.  

 

America was great under Trump and it can be great under Tim Scott.  Unlike Barack Obama who by the way was 50% percent white.  Tim is 100% black remember is the GOP that freed the slaves and Democrats that put them in the plantations.  They also created the KKK.   Tim Scott is a common sense guy.  Vote for common sense.  America wants you as a cheer leader not the nominee.  Put Scott against Biden he wins. 

Suzanne LaFrance is the only person not qualified to be mayor of Anchorage

 The only person not qualified to be mayor is Suzanne LaFrance if she is elected it would put the assembly in charge of both the 8th floor and the 1st floor.  Remember it was Ethan Berkowitz that created this lawlessness by not dealing with it when the Assembly was in his favor.  Dave Bronson has attempted to deal with the problem and this body has refused to deal with it.  They created this crisis by not dealing with the lawlessness crisis which is being disguised as the homeless crisis. 

Hey public schools how about work study while attending school

 

Imagine if retailers or business hired high school children between 16 and 18 and had them work the last two hours of the school day.  They would need to maintain a C average through their school academics.  You could hire them at the beginning wage they would also get a two hour head start in their workday.  Then they work another 4 to 6 hours that day at the same business.  Then after high school they would have a chance to advance in that business.  The business gets a work and the economy benefits with a person contributing to society. 

Environmentalist use lies to attempt to kill a SE Alaska economy

 Environmentalist are continuing to use the court to prevent a region from being able to have an economy.  Recently a judge refuse to listen to common sense and shut down an economy very vital to SE Alaska.  It is time you rule with common sense and stop listening to the environmentalist who believe Alaska is a national park.
