Alaska court reinstates Senate candidate sharing incumbent's name
Republicans in Alaska were dealt a significant blow Friday after a court intervened to keep a Senate challenger on the ballot.
The Superior Court for the State of Alaska in the Third Judicial District has ruled that Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., a challenger to Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan, must be restored to the primary ballot for U.S. Senate.
'The Division's application of a “good-faith” test to Mr. Sullivan's declaration of candidacy is not supported by the US Constitution, Alaska statutes, or the Division's implementing regulations.'
Judge Thomas Matthews held that the Alaska Division of Elections unlawfully imposed a “good-faith” candidacy requirement on J. Sullivan — a requirement that does not appear in the U.S. Constitution, Alaskan statutes, or division regulations.
J. Sullivan, a 69-year-old retired teacher, reportedly registered as a Republican earlier this year and entered the race to oust Sen. S. Sullivan on May 29, just before the deadline for filing.
In response, the National Republican Senatorial Committee and Alaska Republican Party filed complaints with the Federal Election Commission and the state's division of elections, respectively.
After Alaska Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom (R) requested an investigation into J. Sullivan’s eligibility, Carol Beecher, the director of the Division of Elections, concluded that J. Sullivan had not filed a genuine "good-faith" candidacy and instead sought to confuse voters by placing two candidates with nearly identical names on the ballot — deeming him ineligible to seek the office of senator.
He has also been accused of coordinating with Democrat operatives. Sen. S. Sullivan told CNN earlier this month that J. Sullivan's candidacy was effectively a Democratic effort to "cheat."
J. Sullivan appealed the division's decision to the Superior Court, where Judge Matthews ruled in his favor.
Matthews affirmed that J. Sullivan met all the qualifying criteria set out by the Constitution, and therefore Alaska could not impose an additional requirement on his candidacy. The court further concluded that Sullivan's alleged motives or political affiliations did not bear on his constitutional eligibility to seek office.
“The Division's application of a 'good-faith' test to Mr. Sullivan's declaration of candidacy is not supported by the U.S. Constitution, Alaska statutes, or the Division's implementing regulations. As such, the Division's decision to exclude Mr. Sullivan from the primary ballot is without a legal basis,” Matthews determined.
Matthews argued that ballot design — not exclusion — is the proper remedy for concerns over voter confusion.
“The Division may also design the ballot to facilitate fairness, simplicity, and clarity. But those tools are different from the complete exclusion of a candidate."
The state has appealed the decision to the Alaska Supreme Court, with oral arguments scheduled for Monday. Unless the state high court intervenes, J. Sullivan will appear on Alaska's Aug. 18 nonpartisan primary ballot.

'No American flags': Calls for remigration intensify after latest Muslim demonstration in Dearborn, Michigan
In a recent demonstration, the Muslim community of Dearborn, Michigan, took to the streets, marching and chanting in a way that has renewed many Americans' concerns about immigration in this country.
Videos of the scene in Dearborn, Michigan, a town which has found itself near the center of the national debate about immigration due to its high concentration of Muslims, began emerging Sunday morning.
'There are no American flags, but there are flags of many other countries.'
The march was described as an "Ashura procession."
In a video originally posted by Brendan Gutenschwager and later circulated by other accounts, hundreds of Shia Muslims can be seen marching down the street, making hand gestures and salutes, chanting, and waving a number of flags.

None of the flags, as some people observed, were American flags. All appeared to be foreign flags, some of which have words written in a foreign script.
Many observers were distressed by this demonstration of apparently unassimilated Muslims who have gained a foothold in America.
Ned Ryun, the CEO of American Majority, wrote, "If you look at this and don't immediately conclude that mass remigration must happen, and happen quickly, you are a moron guilty of suicidal empathy."
Replying to Ned Ryun, Elon Musk voiced similar thoughts on the video and made a chilling observation: "There are no American flags, but there are flags of many other countries. Those whose loyalty is to another country over America are, by definition, traitors and must be expelled immediately."
Gad Saad addressed President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, saying, "Does this concern you at all? If yes, what are the remedies?"
Eric Daugherty pointed out that this is not what assimilation looks like: "TERRIFYING: Dearborn Michigan just went maximum Islam, flooding the streets and making clear they're here to conquer, not assimilate. This is why Islam needs to be repelled! Islamist flags waving, THEY WANT TO END THE WEST."

20 years of failed doomsday: The Al Gore grift exposed
It’s been 20 years since Al Gore scared the world and dropped the climate film "An Inconvenient Truth," which detailed all the catastrophes that would befall us.
And while he still claims he was right — the receipts tell a much different story.
“His predictions ... none of them came true,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray comments.
“The Arctic sea ice, remember that? Supposed to be gone completely. ... You might notice if you look, the polar ice caps in the Arctic are not gone. They have not disappeared. They are there,” he says.
“How about the melting glaciers and the snows of Kilimanjaro?” he asks, adding, “Still there.”
The film warned that there would be a "rapid retreat of the snow on Mount Kilimanjaro and that the Glacier National Park glaciers would be gone" by now.
“In fact, in Montana, where the park is, they used to have signs that read, ‘These are disappearing soon, so make sure you enjoy and take a picture.’ And they finally took the signs down in 2020 because it wasn’t happening,” Gray says.
Sea levels were also supposed to rise and cause catastrophic flooding, making the Westside Highway in New York disappear.
“The reality is the Westside Highway is still there. The sea levels have not risen 20 feet. In fact, global sea levels have risen nine inches since 1880,” Gray explains.
“But right now there’s gradual retreat occurring rather than rapid city sinking inundations of these places. In other words, what’s happening is the opposite of what he predicted. The opposite. The sea levels are actually receding now,” he continues.
Gore also claimed that carbon dioxide and emissions would see a rapid unchecked rise in atmospheric CO2 levels past the 500 parts per million mark and that hurricane activity would rapidly increase.
Neither of those happened either.
“He was hysterical about everything, and he won an Oscar for it, and he won a Nobel Prize for it in 2007, and he got virtually nothing right,” Gray says, emphasizing, “Nothing.”
