What Winning Looks Like
Traditional Americans are involved in a battle for the soul of our nation. Times honestly don’t look really good for us right now. The liberal extremists have nearly every advantage. They have the advantage in the legislative systems at the state and federal levels, in the schools, and in the justice system. We are forced to endure fraudulent elections and woke ideology everywhere. Liberals control everything and it seems like too big of a challenge for us to deal with. The problem seems too big to even comprehend in our minds easily, how do we even wrap our brains around this, many ask? An old saying comes to mind, “How do you eat an elephant? The answer is one bite at a time.” That saying is relevant when we contemplate how we can take our country back from those that have corrupted every part of political and civic life almost beyond recognition. It is easy to get dejected when considering the enormity of the task, and it might seem impossible that conservatives could influence the hell-bound train that is America today. Yet, we just had a glimmer of hope, at least here in Alaska. We may have seen that first bite of the elephant at the Kenai courthouse on Tuesday, May 9th. Judge Margaret Murphy was scheduled to be indicted on a charge of felony perjury. That didn’t happen, but it was for a great reason that shows we are winning, and I’ll explain why!
Some have alleged that there is significant corruption in the criminal justice system in Alaska and there is no effective audit process to ensure the fairness of the system. Kenai resident David Haeg is one person that has been fighting a non-stop battle against corruption in Alaska for over 19 years. Some say that the indictment of Judge Margret Murphy was directly related to an old case where Mr. Haeg was a defendant before her bench. The indictment of Judge Murphy was conspicuous by its lack of detail about why she was indicted, so it is not possible to conclusively say that her perjury indictment is directly related to the Haeg case. What was notable today was what happened when Mr. Haeg and some of his supporters showed up at the scheduled plea hearing for Judge Murphy at the Kenai court building. A hearing was scheduled to allow Judge Murphy to plead to the felony charge of perjury. Upon arriving at the court, we found out the hearing had been canceled. The reason the clerk of the court gave is that the case had to be rescheduled due to a lack of available judges. Apparently, the hearing was canceled because all the judges in Kenai chose to recuse themselves! Ok, so we need to examine what recusal means. The Alaska Code of Judicial Conduct discusses recusal and cites the case of Feichtinger v. State. The commentary on this case is and I quote,
“Judges will frequently be assigned cases involving unpleasant issues and difficult problems…Judges might readily welcome a baseless request for recusal as an escape from a difficult case. To do so would justly expose the judiciary to public contempt…It is important to avoid the appearance of shirking responsibility.”
So, they excused themselves from this case for some reason. It sure looks like “shirking responsibility”. The Alaska Court Rules suggest that they shouldn’t do this just because they don’t want to accept an unpleasant case, such as trying a fellow judge. Now, I am sure that there is some perfectly legitimate reason why the Kenai judges recused themselves from this case. Maybe there is actually some legitimate conflict. Perhaps they officiated at Judge Murphy’s wedding or purchased an automobile from her family member, or perhaps are partners in a timeshare condo with her in Hawaii. The judges probably have a strong commitment to justice and aren’t afraid of any repercussions to them or their careers in any way by hearing this case. I am sure they just want the court system to have the opportunity to find an impartial judge with absolutely no past working relationship with Judge Murphy to ensure the fairness of the process. Their recusal was not an attempt to drop this case like it was a hot potato.
Standing in the lobby outside the Kenai courtroom with a group of conservative friends I was struck with a thought that seemed appropriate. When I was a young man working in oilfield camps overseas, whenever I saw one cockroach, I knew that there were many more of them around, not just the one I saw. Perhaps the indictment of Judge Margret Murphy is the only one we will see, or perhaps it is the first of many judicial indictments to come. Who knows how deep this could go? One thing is for certain. Judge Murphy’s plea hearing was rescheduled for June 23, and David Haeg along with many of his follower’s plan to be there in person. I know I will be there too, and plan to bring as many of my friends from Homer as I can fit in my car. The Kenai judges may have tried to defuse the situation by delaying the trial until June. Instead, they have just given us more time to prepare a big group of patriots to attend the hearing and be in the court gallery. We will be there to hold them accountable. Thanks to David Haeg for fighting this long battle against corruption.

I’ll close with a quote from Ben Franklin. “Instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle”. David Haeg has just lit one heck of a candle.
