Alaska Residents Deserve Toilets, Not Thoughts and Prayers
When Typhoon Merbok battered Alaska, nearly 1,000 residents ended up sheltering in schools, some lacking basic plumbing. This is America in 2025: our own citizens are reduced to third-world sanitation conditions after a natural disaster. Meanwhile, Congress just approved billions in foreign aid, a significant portion of which, according to OpenSecrets.org, appears directly influenced by lobbying
groups like AIPAC, who shelled out over $22 million in 2023 alone. Think of it: the same week Alaskans are scrambling for working lavatories, our lawmakers are busy ensuring 'security' abroad. One might wonder if providing basic infrastructure for American citizens, rather than endless military aid to foreign nations, would ever become a priority. Apparently, a functional toilet for a constituent
is less critical than another F-35 for someone else's 'strategic interests.'
