The project is founded on the dream of attracting support and major backing from the Biden administration, which seems unlikely. If there is any chance of selling the idea that a federal subsidy is in order, Dunleavy’s campaign that Biden and others are trying to destroy Alaska is going to destroy the chance for success.

Dunleavy announces gas pipeline is 'closer than ever,' as so many have announced before

The billions for a pipeline to Fairbanks are supposed to come from unnamed private sources and the federal government, said Dunleavy, the same guy who claims the Biden administration has declared war on Alaska and wants to destroy the state. Without details, this is a press release pipeline, the kind that exists in the world of imagination.

Finally, Dunleavy gets called on his lies about 2020 Permanent Fund growth

The truth is that the fund grew by $4.8 billion in 2020, making this a lie of from $5.2 billion to $6.2 billion—which would put Dunleavy in first place as the author of the biggest lie in Alaska history.

Alaska news organizations ignore Dunleavy's unhinged Texas rant
Alaska news organizations ignore Dunleavy's unhinged Texas rant

I think it was the real Dunleavy who spoke his mind to his Texas audience, while the Dunleavy who spoke to Alaskans last week was the politically modified version—stiffly delivering a speech in which he attempted to give no ammunition to his political opponents. It was written by his handlers to help keep the recall at bay.

Dunleavy budget official should drop the rope-a-dope diversion, hiding the lack of a fiscal plan
Dunleavy budget official should drop the rope-a-dope diversion, hiding the lack of a fiscal plan

The biggest scam at the heart of the so-called Dunleavy “fiscal plan” is that $1 billion in magic beans is going to appear on July 1, 2022 to solve Alaska’s financial problems.

Dunleavy claims massive federal/environmental conspiracy aims to destroy Alaska

Sullivan ignores climate change with myth that oil companies are victims of discrimination

State attempted appeal of Pebble mine decision reads like an appeal from Pebble mine

Despite the big announcement from the Dunleavy administration about its Pebble appeal, the state is not eligible to file an administrative appeal of the Pebble mine rejection, only the Pebble mine can do that. It’s more of a state appeal for publicity.
