Correction: An earlier edition of Michael LeMay’s letter incorrectly included affiliation with an organization. He intended his letter to be a personal statement and not representing any organization. The Homer Independent Press regrets the error.

Trump greater than Jesus?

Donald Trump didn’t hide his grades because they were good. He didn’t hide his medical records because he’s healthy. He didn’t suppress the Epstein files because he’s innocent.

America has never had a president less capable of governing himself. And no man who can’t govern himself is fit to govern a great republic.

We had peace, and we chose Trump. Now we have war, chaos, economic crisis and corruption, while abusing American citizens with violence, including murder. Trump has delivered us to a squalid era where insurrectionists serve in Congress and an adjudicated rapist lives in the White House, where pedophiles are protected and the victims’ names are made public.

Yet Trump has a band of supporters who believe that he’s at least as great as Jesus of Nazareth, perhaps greater.

I am not advocating for the crucifixion of DJT nor his death, but imagine if his cult did crucify him and then he resurrected himself after three days? I predict that his poll numbers would surge and that he’d have a better chance at retaining control of the House and Senate this November.


Furthermore, MAGA people everywhere would finally have something to hang their hats on. Just saying.

About the ballot measure on ranked choice voting

A “NO” vote opposes eliminating the following: campaign finance provisions, top four primaries and ranked choice voting in general elections, all of which were all approved by voters in 2020.

This writer prefers to keep ranked choice voting and will vote No to elimination of all the provisions.

You may hear people say that thousands of ballots were “trashed” in Alaska’s 2024 election. That’s not what happened.

Every valid ballot was counted. Your vote counted for every candidate you ranked. 

Don’t be fooled! In any voting system, if your candidate doesn’t get enough votes, they don’t win. It doesn’t mean your ballot was “trashed.” It just means you didn’t vote for the winner.

In no voting method now or historically used in Alaska are ballots discarded.

Every voter has the chance to choose one candidate of their choice in the primary, then rank their favorites in the general election.  It’s the same as ranking anything in order of preference, like which flavors of ice cream you enjoy in order of preference. The winner of an election will only win if 51% of voters choose that candidate.
