When I think of the levels of government in Alaska I think of the Spiderman memes where all three are pointing at each other. In my mind they are all passing the blame, unable and unwilling to accept responsibility for their part in the decision making process. As if they are thinking: there is no way these problems could have been created by the policies I have pushed, it’s someone else’s fault. Or They didn’t give us enough money so we can’t do the full job…
I say something when teaching my own kids or any of their friends unlucky enough to hear my advice. There is 100 percent and there is zero percent there is no in between. What I mean by this is effort – give your full effort to everything you do or you might as well not do it at all. Accept your role in a problem when it arises instead of passing blame. If you aren’t bringing solutions to the table, you are only bringing more problems.
I like to say I am not a politician, I am just a patriot. And while I do not have a better idea I can poke holes in all the proposed solutions. Let’s try this on for size. What is the role of an elected official? To push forward their own agenda, or to write new laws showing how much better they are than their predecessors? Or is it possible that their role is to keep a finger on the pulse of what the voters want, to keep communication open to the public, to listen to the problems people are facing, and the dreams we want to achieve? And then to take that. knowing forward in the way they vote, or propose new solutions.
I may be delusional in hoping my elected representatives would represent the will of my community. Is that too much to ask for? To be informed of why decisions are made, the reasoning behind it, that seems just beyond their grasp. Instead we get answers like: I was forced to make a bad decision, I know what’s in everyone’s best interest, its not my fault its theirs. Or the worst, I don’t know. I am not your child I don’t need to be protected from the world, and the hardships we face, and you are not mine. I expect you to do your job. In a transparent, honest way. Without misleading or blame.
You might be wondering if a specific event has me riled up this way, and while there are many the closing of Campbell STEM Elementary, the only nationally certified STEM school in Alaska has hit close to home. Last year the Anchorage voters approved a bond for capital improvements and deferred maintenance for over $62 million, $12 million of which was slated to fix the roof, boiler, and add secure access vestibule to Campbell STEM.
So here’s the catch, $ 2.2 million of this is Bond Debt Reimbursement. Meaning it is fungible and can be used elsewhere immediately, it literally put a target on the school when asked for closure options. The Anchorage School district is robbing you. They are picking over $ 9 million out of your pocket, while they have their hand open asking for another $70 million, while telling you to look to Juneau for the answer, which is more money.
That’s the whole problem, money, not mismanagement. They didn’t look at the school as a school, or a specialized curriculum but only as a number. That’s not leadership. They couldn’t tell you that it took over five years to get that STEM accreditation. They couldn’t tell you that Campbell had a lower absence than the other three schools it is to be consolidated with. How about that it’s third grade reading proficiency is more than double two of those schools it is to become, and the academic growth in the last year is at least six times higher than all three.
The total savings to close the only STEM school in Alaska is less than one million, but that number goes down every subsequent year to only $40,000 by year five. Losses start at year six, assuming new students don’t enroll in charter schools or homeschooling. Then the losses start sooner. An explanation was expected, but it is not what was received. Instead what was received was notice of school closure announced at the end of the day on a Friday, right before a three day holiday weekend. With the only chance for public comment happening Tuesday. Comment mind you, not questions, not answers, not even a conversation.
Everyone knows STEM is the future, but they don’t know, or care what they hold in their hands. They only see the money, the one time payout of $2 million to take that future away. It makes the job easier right now, but when you take the foundation out from under yourself what can you expect? That foundation being public trust. I call on everyone to do better for our future.
Pay attention to your elected representatives and make noise that’s loud enough to not be ignored, fire them at the ballot box if they aren’t listening. That’s the only way they will be held accountable. To all the elected representatives my message is this: I figure since I started this letter with reference to Spiderman it seems fitting to quote it now, “With great power, comes great responsibility.”
You have the responsibility and the duty to do better for us. You voluntarily took the job, so I expect you believe you have the ability as well. It’s time to prove it. Anything less than 100 percent of your full effort and accountability is the equivalent of doing nothing, and that is unacceptable.
Mike Nield has lived in Alaska 20 years this June. He has three kids enrolled in the Anchorage School District. He has been in business 18 years as a masonry contractor. He enjoys everything outdoors in his spare time.
YES, it does. Never trust power!
While I have supported closing five schools, I strongly opposed closing Campbell STEM, Lake Otis and Fire Lake. They are the wrong schools at the wrong time and the ASD failed to give proper notice of the intent to close them.
I also voted many times against building a new Inlet View School costing over $50 million.
I also proposed cuts to non-classroom related administrative costs EVERY of the past nine years. Almost all were rejected by the School Board.
Unfair to lump all Board Members together.

Elected office reveals a person more than it corrupts. Evidence abounds that if someone lacks integrity to begin with, getting elected heightens their sense of entitlement to abuse their position for personal gain.
Huh. Is there any evidence that Trump has been raping girls since he won the presidency?
You’ve already made it clear you don’t care about Trump’s involvement in pedophilia, anonymous coward. You’ve also made it clear that you’re a good MAGA sheep who is willing to reject any evidence about anything that makes Trump look bad. Why bother asking? There’s plenty of evidence, though, that your buddy Rep. Kevin J. McCabe of Big Lake is a chronic abuser of his position for personal gain. Remember the time he filed that completely dishonest ethics complaint against two fellow Republican legislators? Same guy who never misses an opportunity to hypocritically whine about the need for Republicans to stop… Read more »
“………Why bother asking?……….”
To goad you into typing out the precise reply I expected, and you need fail to do so. First of all, you did not answer my question. You expectedly launch into yet another tirade about both President Trump and Representative McCabe with your hatred and salivating, snapping jaws. Thanks for exposing yourself yet again, Editor. Take out the Zorro doll again and shove a few more of your voodoo pins into it. I’ll let you know if I feel them.
Obviously you feel them or you wouldn’t reply like a wounded child trying desperately not to have to discuss what a morally rotten character McCabe is.
Remember that time McCabe abused his office by scheming to hijack already allocated public road money to his road?
“………you feel them or you wouldn’t reply like a wounded child trying desperately not to have to discuss what a morally rotten character McCabe is………”
I wouldn’t know about McCabe. Never met the guy. But I’ve got plenty of experience with you now, and it appears to mirror the experience McCabe has had with you; extremely negative.
Give it up. You’re fooling no one. You know nothing about McCabe, but you know exactly how he feels about me, and you mirror his obsession with me. You also obsess over Mike Alexander, just like McCabe does. Now explain to everyone how some random anonymous coward obsesses over the same two private citizens McCabe obsesses over. By the way, the topic here is the loss of integrity that often befalls less scrupulous people when they’re elected to public office. How come you don’t want to discuss McCabe’s many abuses of position? Remember that time Rep. Kevin J. McCabe of… Read more »
“……….Give it up. You’re fooling no one. You know nothing about McCabe, but you know exactly how he feels about me, and you mirror his obsession with me………”
Give it up. You’re fooling no one. You know nothing about me, but you claim that I’m either McCabe himself or a mirror of him, and by that you display your obsession with him.
“………You also obsess over Mike Alexander, just like McCabe does………” A very fascinating character. Your obsession (and his) with McCabe inspired me to research your issue. I learned that Alexander, filing an APOC complaint about McCabe actually got fined himself for his illegal signage. Funny. Then he runs a losing campaign for an Assembly seat as “the genuine conservative”, yet here he is aligned with an extreme Leftist like you in a common Mind Virus over McCabe and his supposed PFD “theft”, even though McCabe repeatedly states that he’s for a “full PFD”. It’s also fascinating that he won’t admit… Read more »
It’s really funny how someone who claims to have lived in the Valley for more than 50 years is not listed on the borough property tax roll or on the state voter roll. Tell us all again how you’re really Reggie Taylor and not Kevin McCabe.
You have access to state voter rolls? How so, Editor? Yes, I’ve lived in the Valley for over 50 years, and I’m not Kevin McCabe.
It’s all public information, moron. You should think about that before spinning lies. Did you learn nothing from the laughable lies you told from your old Dick Shinary fake account?
Dick Shinary? Who’s that? That’s funny. A shiny dick?
“………It’s all public information, moron………”
Then why were so many liberal/leftists here so outraged when Alaskan media sources reported that the state Division of Elections was reported to share voter records with the federal government?
https://alaskabeacon.com/2026/04/06/why-federal-efforts-to-get-sensitive-voter-data-face-resistance/
Why would YOU have access to voter rolls in order to dox enemies, but the feds are somehow not to get the information?
Your capacity for shameless dishonesty is impressive, anonymous coward. What’s really upsetting you is that YOUR LIES were easily exposed by readily available public information. When you try to pretend that being exposed makes YOU the victim, you sound as weak, pathetic and unable to take responsibility for yourself as McCabe does when he dishonestly plays the victim.
“………How come you don’t want to discuss McCabe’s many abuses of position?………”
For the same reason I refuse to discuss religion with you. I don’t feed trolls. I poke ’em.
You don’t discuss religion because you’re a hypocrite who pretends to be a great Christian while you espouse anti-Christian beliefs. Same way you claim to be a great protector of women and girls, but support protecting all those Epstein files criminals and denying justice to the victims. Do you seriously imagine Jesus agrees with that?
“………You don’t discuss religion because you’re a hypocrite who pretends to be a great Christian……..”
When did I claim to be Christian, Editor?
Bitch, please. You’ve fallen all over yourself quoting the Bible and trying to impress others with your spectacular Christian bona fides. Are you seriously going to claim now that you’re not a Christian? That’s certainly more believable, given your behavior and stated support of criminality and immorality.
“………Bitch, please. You’ve fallen all over yourself quoting the Bible and trying to impress others with your spectacular Christian bona fides……….” “True words seem paradoxical” “When man interferes with the Tao, the sky becomes filthy, the earth becomes depleted, the equilibrium crumbles, creatures become extinct.” “When they lose their sense of awe, people turn to religion.

Whoever is soft and yielding is a disciple of life.” “Do you want to improve the world? I don’t think it… Read more »

“………By the way, the topic here is the loss of integrity that often befalls less scrupulous people when they’re elected to public office………..”
True. And your answer?:
“………..Elected office reveals a person more than it corrupts. Evidence abounds that if someone lacks integrity to begin with, getting elected heightens their sense of entitlement to abuse their position for personal gain………..”
Some people are so corrupt that they couldn’t win elected office when they try. Alexander is a case in point.
So are you.
So at least McCabe won. More than once. Like Trump. You? Not so much………….
Winning an election does not make someone right. It certainly doesn’t make them decent and honest. Both Trump and McCabe are perfect examples of this. Despite all their corruption, self-dealing, and abuse of position, you’re okay with all of it. Remember that time McCabe was busted by the Landmine for being a tax cheat? He and his third wife profited by around $20,000 over nine years, while the borough’s honest taxpayers were paying full freight on their properties. As I recall, you’re okay with that level of dishonesty, too. Here’s what the Landmine said about the grift in the Sept.… Read more »
“………Winning an election does not make someone right………” Correct. It proves that they’re the better of the offered candidates. Correct again: both Trump and McCabe are perfect examples of this, especially since both won twice. Correct yet again: I’m perfectly okay with that, especially since in the case of McCabe, he doesn’t represent my district, and in the case of Trump, the alternative would have been disastrous. Congratulations turning your comment into yet another negative campaign piece against McCabe. I doubt it will sway any of the voters in his district, but I’m sure it makes you feel better……….sorta’ like… Read more »
LOL. I can understand your need to believe the crap you say. It doesn’t change how grossly immoral it is to try and justify your support for pedophilia and those who practice it.
“……… It doesn’t change how grossly immoral it is to try and justify your support for pedophilia and those who practice it………”
Go get ’em, Editor. I don’t support shit, mainly because the only shit there is bullshit. You can get convictions? Go get ‘um. Stop your whining and show us what you can do.
One more thing for you to avoid discussing, anonymous coward: Over those nine years Rep. Kevin J. McCabe of Big Lake was shortchanging the borough and its honest taxpayers, and pocketing $20,000 in the process, he was also trying to hijack public road money that he didn’t pay into to get his road upgraded. Perfect example of an elected person abusing his position for personal gain.
“………One more thing for you to avoid discussing………”
I don’t need to discuss it. You’re guaranteed to proclaim it. I don’t care, true or not.
“………One more thing for you to avoid discussing, anonymous coward………”
What, no comeback on my Anonymous Mike reply? Could there be another Anonymous Coward for you to expose? Where’s your burning desire for justice and the American way?
No idea what you’re babbling about now, anonymous coward. Are you day-drinking again? It does entertain me, though, how obsessed you are with that person, as if someone with a name as common as Mike could only be one person. I can think of three Mikes in Big Lake alone who think you’re a half-wit who’s unfit for office. I’d bet there are several more in your district, too. Your sociopathic obsessions always expose you, Kev.
“………No idea what you’re babbling about now………”
Of course. You have no idea of anything but Orange Man and Bald Man Bad.
“……… I can think of three Mikes in Big Lake alone who think you’re a half-wit who’s unfit for office……….”
I agree that I’m not fit for office. That’s why I don’t run for office. I’d make Trump look like Tinkerbelle. I have no patience for bullshit which is what people like you and the Iranian theocracy deal in.
Thanks for clearing up that up, Kev. The only bullshit I see here is your ongoing transparent pretense about being someone other than who you are. Keep working it, though. Maybe you can fool someone really gullible.
“………The only bullshit I see here is your ongoing transparent pretense about being someone other than who you are………”
You and your buddy Mike (“the genuine conservative”) are the only ones making me into somebody other than who I am, and you’re doing a poor job of it……….other than in your own weak minds. Even Svatass has openly commented that it’s obvious that I’m not McCabe. But no, you two morons simply can’t let go. That right there is psychosis, Editor. Own it.
Classic McCabe oversell. Double down and continue to huff and puff and stomp your feet. Add some name-calling for good measure. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
You again claim that I’m Kevin McCabe, but you cannot provide any evidence that is true. Youthinks, and you doth protest, but you have no clothes on, and you have no hair, either.
I never said that, nor do I believe it.
“……..Thanks for clearing up that up, Kev……….”
Multiple delusions, also known as mixed-type delusional disorder. You obviously suffer a dual Trump/McCabe Delusion Syndrome as well as a Delusion of Substitution, replacing a totally unrelated internet commenter as your boogeyman Kevin McCabe. Pretty overwhelming stuff, Editor. Help is available, though. All you have to do is commit yourself to treatment.
More oversell. You never learn, Kev. Must be that well-known narcissism.
“……… I can think of three Mikes in Big Lake alone who think you’re a half-wit who’s unfit for office……….”
Just as I had suspected:
“……….. I’m suspecting that there are others breathing the same stale air with the two of you, because I’ve lived here in the Valley for over half a century and I know the place pretty well……….”
McCabe always had it in for Eastman. That was a really shitty thing he did to one of the few real conservatives in the house.
I agree. It was. It’s also really shitty that he was never held accountable and is now allowed to serve on the Ethics Committee. Classic example of the fox guarding the henhouse.
“……..I agree. It was………”
I find it hilarious that you would be sympathetic to Representative Eastman in any way, shape, manner, or form!
Truth and decency have nothing to do with personal feelings. Not that an indecent and dishonest anonymous coward could ever understand that.
Rep. Kevin J. McCabe of Big Lake is Exhibit A in support of the thesis of this piece about lack of integrity. One of the many times he has abused his position came in 2022, when he tried to extort Matanuska Electric Association for personal political gain.
Wow. That sounds criminal. More details please.
“………That sounds criminal………..”
If it was, there would be investigations and charges. This is how you tell when the accusations are bullshit. If you haven’t figured that out after a decade of the Anti-Trump games, you’ll probably never figure it out…………..even after a picture has been drawn for you.
Funny, there were more than 60 court cases challenging the outcome of the 2020 election. Every one of them was a loser. That’s what I’d call a very clear picture being drawn for YOU, yet you still choose to believe fairy tale nonsense and call the truth “bullshit”.
Trump has been more successful against “journalists” like you, Editor. There was a reported $15 million settlement with ABC News and a $16 million settlement with CBS/Paramount in 2024–2025. That has a wonderful flavor to it, Editor. Doesn’t it?
Whatever. Doesn’t change your devotion to childish sore-loser election lies and the corrupt pedophile protector who tells them.
McCabe flagrantly violated Alaska Statutes. That means he is a law-breaker, which almost certainly qualifies as “criminal.” Regardless of what it’s called, that kind of self-dealing is the opposite of normal acceptable behavior for a legislator.
What happened? Is there a link to more information? People need to know!!
Stay tuned. It’s coming.
Rep. Kevin J. McCabe of Big Lake also abused his position and the court system in August 2022. He fabricated a weeks-long story about “stalking”, lying multiple times under oath while he did it, just to try and bully and intimidate a private citizen he had a personal disagreement with. The court saw through the charade and dismissed McCabe’s petition immediately. Recognizing the malice and deep dishonesty that motivated McCabe, the judge also removed the defendant’s name from the court record.
“……..to try and bully and intimidate a private citizen he had a personal disagreement with………”
Who was that “private citizen”, Editor?
I appreciate that you don’t deny anything in my post. That’s progress.
I don’t need to. I need you to admit that YOU are the “private citizen”. Then I’ll post a link to published news stories about your allegations. I have them bookmarked, Editor.
I also appreciate that you steered clear of the MEA extortion post. Good to see that even you know when to shut up.
Who was that “private citizen”, Editor?
Are you posting during the House floor session again, McCabe? Don’t you have PFDs to steal?
Nope. I’m posting from my easy chair in my living room, and if I was a legislator, I’d do everything I could to “steal” your PFD and use it to build prisons and hire cops.
“………..Thge decision to block Mr. Kelsey was the result of persistent harassment directed towards me, my staff, and my wife, along with instances of trespassing, doxing, and violations of my clearly posted page rules as well as Facebook’s own bullying policies……….”

Posting McCabe’s hysterical, evidence-free BS here doesn’t change the self-dealing involved in McCabe’s attempt to hijack already allocated public money to his road. It just shows the dishonest lengths he still goes to to deflect from his bad behavior.
Are you still claiming that I’m McCabe?
“………it appears a resident of the borough — maybe one with strong political and criticisms of Republicans — has elevated the doxxing of a lawmaker to a new level — sic’ing the property assessors on him to increase his tax payments………..”

LMAO. Why would you continue drawing attention to how much of a tax chiseler you were? Are you just trying to deflect from the corrupt behavior I posted about? You can’t dispute that you tried to extort MEA, and you can’t dispute that you fabricated a story and lied under oath in court in a malicious and genuinely scumbaggish attempt to bully a private citizen. The truth of the matter about the tall tale you linked, as you well know, is that you and your third wife chose to hide your property improvements for nine years while you profited by… Read more »

I’m posting proof positive of your predatory, psychotic, raging stalking behavior. I can see you as a road rager……….a very dangerous activity in Alaska.

LOL. This thread is about misbehaving elected officials, not paid-for propaganda. Just because you got someone to allege the same bullshit you allege without proof, doesn’t change that you abused your position to extort MEA for personal gain. And it certainly doesn’t change that your BS allegations about stalking were laughed out of court because your “evidence” was completely fabricated. You even got your staffer to tell lies under oath. Did you threaten to fire her if she didn’t? You know what else doesn’t change — your nine years of profiting off your grossly underpaid property tax. Again, I appreciate… Read more »
“………This thread is about misbehaving elected officials, not paid-for propaganda……….”
I haven’t paid for anything. Did you pay your lawyer? BTW, I’m Reggie. I know you can’t heal yourself from your intentional self deception, and I’ll pray that you eventually get the psychological help you so desperately need.
Look under your bed, Editor; I think McCabe is hiding there…………..
LOL. Sure thing, “Reggie” (wink wink). Your secret is safe with me. It makes perfect sense that an anonymous stranger would have the exact same emotional and very personal response to uncomfortable facts about the bad behavior of Rep. Kevin J. McCabe of Big Lake as he does. Probably no one will notice how desperately you are avoiding the on-topic discussion either.
“……..no one will notice how desperately you are avoiding the on-topic discussion either………”
I don’t care. We’ve all been treated to a few morons carrying on with the Iran war in unrelated comment sections, so featuring your psychological issues after you comment yet again on the victim of your psycho-stalking is a more appropriate comment.
“Psycho-stalking.” What a drama queen. Keep chirping, McCabe. Nothing changes that your charges are as bogus and dishonest today as they were four years ago when you were thoroughly embarrassed in court lying about them.
“……….you were thoroughly embarrassed in court lying about them………”
You’re putting on a show now, Editor. “For the record”………….
Oooooooo, scary!! You should be more careful. Your desperation is raging. Are you trying to silence me because you don’t want to talk about how the very corrupt Rep. Kevin J. McCabe of Big Lake abused his position to extort Matanuska Electric Association for personal political gain?

“……… Are you trying to silence me……….”
Does it look like I’m trying to silence you? LOL! I’m prompting you to continue, thus proving your rage and inability to disengage in obsession. It has now been proven. Our “discussions” are now a matter of public record. McCabe’s contentions on your behaviors are proven “beyond a shadow of a doubt”.
Oh, yes, yes! Very credible. A dishonest anonymous coward desperately trying to deflect from the indisputable bad behavior of Rep. Kevin J. McCabe of Big Lake has single-handedly proven something “beyond a shadow of a doubt,” without providing a shred of evidence, just because he says so. Good luck with that, Kev. “Inability to disengage in obsession,” whatever that is supposed to mean, sounds an awful lot like projection, considering how frequently you stalk my posts and admittedly badger me with off-topic bullshit. Your overinflated sense of self-importance and willingness to huff, puff, and bluster endlessly don’t change the truth… Read more »
“……….Very credible………” Indeed it is, especially since you’re done this on many multiple comment forums on multiple blogs, websites, and Facebook pages, and repeatedly crow about your undaunted courage posting under your legal name and castigating others for posting under pseudonyms, as if nobody can see that you’re clearly a deranged lunatic with anger and power issues. Who in their right mind would reveal their legal name to a psycho like you in this age of malevolent doxing by maniacs like you? McCabe’s original contention is that your online behavior is aggressive, persistent, malevolent, impulsive, and stalking in nature. You’ve… Read more »
“who in their right mind would reveal their legal name …” So after your numerous breathless drama-queen assertions here that Reggie Taylor is your real name and that anyone questioning that is obviously “deranged”, you admit (again) that you’re using a fake name and were lying about Reggie being your real name. Why should anyone believe a word you say about anything, anonymous coward? McCabe’s “original contention” has already been adjudicated. He presented zero evidence of any of it. His and his staffer’s under-oath lies were easily exposed and the judge quickly ruled against him. Despite your best efforts here… Read more »

Stop trying to dox, Stalker.
Thanks for making my point so quickly and effortlessly. That it was also so cluelessly is a delicious bonus.
“………Thanks for making my point……..”
Please find WeThePeopleAK in the property ownership records or voter rolls, Editor, then tell me again about how the point on the top of your bald head was made.
The point has nothing to do with others, anonymous coward. The point is that you are not a normal, decent, honest person with nothing to hide. Is that more clear?
Here’s a more honest take on your property-tax scheme, as reported by your buddy Landfield in the Sept. 11, 2022, Sunday Minefield: Last week Suzanne Downing wrote an article that claims Representative Kevin McCabe (R-Big Lake) was the victim of a “weaponized” assessor’s office. They came out to look at his 40 acre property that has not been assessed for its value since 2013. A closer inspection reveals that McCabe has been massively underpaying his property taxes. … His property tax information shows he has been paying around $1,300 a year in property taxes for years. It also shows his house is only 42% complete. But since 2013 the… Read more »
Speaking of integrity lapses and self-dealing, Rep. Kevin J. McCabe of Big Lake has tried three times to force honest, hard-working Alaskans to pay his mounting legal fees from the First Amendment case he is losing. Most recently, after being denied twice by the Legislature, he filed a claim in court, demanding that the judiciary approve his request. That, too, was denied. As the judge properly ruled, no one but McCabe should have to bear the consequences of his own bad behavior.
He also got busted by APOC for illegally hiding his expenses in two different campaigns.
Got a citation for that claim?
Yep. Was it ever revealed what information McCabe was trying to keep from voters?
Why don’t you just make something up, Editor? That would be in character for you.
Got a citation for that claim? Of course you don’t. Just more of you projecting your own profound dishonesty onto others, while sounding like a really scared child knowing his bad behavior is being exposed and is terrified that he can’t do anything about it.
“………Got a citation for that claim?……….”
How about your post directly beneath this?
Hilarious. McCabe has also tried repeatedly — and unsuccessfully — to cast it as untrue, without identifying a single inaccuracy. I’ve told him several times, and I’ll post it here publicly again: If you can point out anything that’s provably not true, I will correct it, publicly apologize to McCabe, and never mention it again. He has yet to make that happen, which tells everyone everything they need to know about the accuracy of the piece and the deep dishonesty of Rep. Kevin J. McCabe of Big Lake.
“………. If you can point out anything that’s provably not true, I will correct it, publicly apologize to McCabe, and never mention it again………..”
I am not Kevin McCabe. Yet you repeatedly continue to both openly state that I am, and imply so.
Okay, great. But there’s no denying you sound and react just like him. You even quote chapter and verse of McCabe’s already exposed lies about me.
But whatever. You’re also not Reggie Taylor. You’re an anonymous coward hiding behind a fake name to openly badger and discredit honest posters who post things you don’t like.
But thanks for admitting that, just like McCabe, you can’t dispute anything in that linked piece about McCabe abusing his position.
“……..Okay, great. But there’s no denying you sound and react just like him. …….”
LOL! Why do I feel like Trump “negotiating” with the Iranian government?
“……..But thanks for admitting that, just like McCabe, you can’t dispute anything in that linked piece about McCabe abusing his position……..”
I didn’t admit anything, and I didn’t read past the authors name. There’s my “admission”, along with yet another statement about your dishonest “journalism” ethics stating that I “admitted” to any of your bullshit………”Editor”……..
Even by your bottom-feeding standards, anonymous coward, that’s a really weak argument. I can tell it’s really galling to you that, just like McCabe, you are unable to refute anything I’ve posted.
If all you’ve got is childish semantic hair-splitting, you don’t really have anything. Dishonest ad hominem nonsense, no matter how often you or McCabe repeat it, will never change that.
“………If all you’ve got is childish semantic hair-splitting, you don’t really have anything………”
I have you continuing your behavior, which is exactly what McCabe cited when banning you from his Facebook page. You simply can’t help yourself.
Whatever. Whine some more, anonymous coward. Just like with McCabe, who lost making bogus behavioral claims because he could provide no evidence of it, what you’re really saying is you want to silence someone who has a point of view that hurts your fragile feelings. As the judge scolded McCabe before promptly dismissing his malicious and deeply dishonest claims, “disagreement is not harassment,” no matter how dizzyingly you or he tries to spin it.
“……..what you’re really saying is you want to silence someone who has a point of view that hurts your fragile feelings………”
Read my words again, Editor. Try doing so slowly:
“……….I have you continuing your behavior, which is exactly what McCabe cited when banning you from his Facebook page. You simply can’t help yourself………”
I’ve wrote this before, and even being a so-called Editor, you can’t seem to comprehend the words. I’m not interested in “silencing” you. Your tirades make my point. You fulfill my goal. Your malcontent refuse are my point. Keep providing the proof.
Again, disagreement is not harassment. It’s definitely not stalking or a “tirade” either, even when it hurts your feelings, as it clearly does. Your posts, on the other hand, suggest strongly that you need to find your safe space and cry yourself to sleep.
“………disagreement is not harassment. It’s definitely not stalking……….” That was your line with McCabe. I’m not “disagreeing” with you, which is why you repeatedly thank me for not doing so. You try endlessly to dox me. “Anonymous Coward”. You want my name. You pour through borough property tax records searching for my name………to sic the tax assessor on me like you did McCabe. You search through voter rolls to check my party association. You’re trying to stalk me, you can’t, and it drives you nuts………..well, more nuts than you already are. I know you, Editor. I know you better than… Read more »
So now the anonymous coward who claims to neither be nor know Rep. Kevin J. McCabe of Big Lake knows exactly what my “line with McCabe” was? You must think people are really stupid. For the record, I have used that line with McCabe, probably more than once, in Twitter exchanges with one of the many fake name accounts he uses. But it came originally from the judge who admonished him that “disagreement is not harassment” at the end of the courtroom proceedings McCabe maliciously and dishonestly initiated against a private citizen. I know public records frighten you, but the… Read more »
“………So now the anonymous coward who claims to neither be nor know Rep. Kevin J. McCabe of Big Lake knows exactly what my “line with McCabe” was? You must think people are really stupid………..” Editor, it’s all reported in multiple newspaper articles and internet blogs. You claimed that McCabe banned you from his Facebook page because “he disagreed” with you, and he refuted that with the counterclaim that you became enraged, exhibited stalking behavior, made his staff and wife uncomfortable, and was generally a bad presence on his page. All of these behaviors you exhibited afterwards on numerous internet blogs,… Read more »
Yes, anonymous coward. The many lies McCabe told in desperation while under oath are well known. But just as you demonstrate regularly, repetition of bullshit doesn’t make it any less bullshitty. As I’ve pointed out over and over, McCabe lost his claims because he presented no evidence of any of them. Meanwhile, I brought receipts that clearly and unambiguously exposed the lies that he and his staffer told.
“………The many lies McCabe told in desperation while under oath are well known………”
If true, that’s because you infect any and every public forum you can with your claims of such.
“I’m having the time of my life.”
Then why do you sound like you’re in a full panic?
“……..Then why do you sound like you’re in a full panic?……..”
Because you only hear what you want to hear, even if you have to make it up. What do I have to “panic” about? I’m anonymous, and my only intent here is to keep you posting like a lunatic………which is easier than chewing gum.
Posting facts about a misbehaving elected person — which is the topic of this thread — is not something honest people consider lunacy. The tired recycled narrative you’re pushing here is as transparently self-serving and dishonest now as it was when the corrupt McCabe first tried making it. I will continue to keep pointing out these facts — McCabe’s attempt to hijack already allocated public money to his road; the bogus ethics complaint McCabe filed against fellow Republicans; McCabe’s lying under oath while bringing a blatantly fraudulent case against a private citizen; McCabe’s three attempts to force his legal expenses… Read more »
“………I will continue to keep pointing out these facts……….” Yes, we can see that. You do so in all manner of blog article comment sections, Facebook pages, and everywhere else you can find. Most of the areas you harangue in don’t achieve anything beyond aggravating noise. For example, you can rant about him in a letter to the editor of the Seattle Times, but that would only serve to make you feel better. If you’d focus on a political campaign against his seat the next time he’s up for re-election, that might actually accomplish something. But, considering his winning vote… Read more »
Again, posting factual, on-topic information is not venting rage, no matter how times you claim it is so. Just because your personal anger issues are well-known doesn’t mean others have the same problem.
Speaking of integrity flying out the window the moment you’re elected, here’s a piece about Rep. Kevin J. McCabe of Big Lake scheming to hijack already allocated road money to his road during his first term.

LOL! Who is the balanced journalist who penned that article, Editor? Is that the same “private citizen” who sued Representative McCabe?
Jeez………
Riiiight. You used the most biased outlets in the state to spread your lies because you knew they wouldn’t fact-check you. Spare us your fake outrage about “balance”. Everything in that piece is meticulously documented, as McCabe well knows.
You are a propagandist of the worse brand. For the sake of individual hatred and aggression, you use the platform of a corporate media to launch and carry forth an individual campaign against a public official. You make Dan Rather look like a saint.
Keep beating that dishonest drum. It’s all you’ve got when you can’t dispute anything I’ve posted.
McCabe discovered the same thing when he abused his position and the court system in 2022 with the same obvious BS you’re slinging here on his behalf.
“………It’s all you’ve got when you can’t dispute anything I’ve posted………”
It’s like disputing the belief in interstellar aliens and all the clowns professing that they walk among us; why bother? These people are true believers, and evidence of a lack of evidence proves nothing.
Mental illness is an impossible ailment to cure when a cure is refused by the afflicted.
Do you think the way you stalk my posts and relentlessly sling defamatory accusations to deflect from on-topic discussion, while hiding like a weak coward behind a fake name, is any indication of mental illness?
“………Do you think the way you stalk my posts and relentlessly sling defamatory accusations to deflect from on-topic discussion………”
Does it work for you when you stalk McCabe? I guess we’ll see, because now it works both ways, Editor. How does it feel?
“lack of evidence proves nothing”
Exactly. Thanks for another accidental confession, anonymous coward.
“……..Thanks for another accidental confession……..”
Thanks for more yellow “journalism”, Editor.
