White House spiritual advisor Paula White compares President Trump to Jesus Christ, saying he was betrayed, arrested, and falsely accused. She says Trump rose like Jesus, defeated death, and will defeat all of his enemies. "It’s a familiar pattern our Lord and Savior showed us."

@onelife628682 @907Honest Nowhere close to entitled. I just know boomers are literally the worst generation in recent history.

Confession: I am an anti-clanker. I push them into the road or turn them upside down when no one is around. Sometimes I scream. I mock them. I kick and spit at them. I hate them and I want them to know I hate them. I want them to tell the others. I want them to be afraid.

@907Honest Likely not with a data center, I'm thinking more along the lines for preventing subsidence for oil producer & water injection wells.

@jamiethomas069 I don’t think that is possible with data centers and make it economical

@907_Salmon @907Honest What the actual fuck!?! Chinook salmon should not be incidentally caught for any reason, nor should they be considered bycatch.

@907Honest I think it actually shows your misunderstanding of fish issues. The 81k is chinook caught incidentally (i.e. as bycatch) in statewater commercial salmon fisheries.

The Alaskan "Bycatch Wars"
The provided text analyzes a recent disinformation campaign within the Alaskan commercial fishing industry. To deflect mounting regulatory pressure, industrial trawl advocates circulated a fabricated infographic that falsely accused smaller, non-trawl vessels (longline and pot gear) of unprecedented bycatch levels. Official federal data directly refutes these claims, revealing them to be a calculated public relations strategy.
Key Takeaways
1. The Data Discrepancy: Fabrication vs. RealityThe infographic severely inflated the non-trawl sector's impact to create a false equivalency with industrial trawlers.
The False Claim: Non-trawl vessels caught 81,159 Chinook salmon and discarded 43.4 million pounds of groundfish in 2024.
The Federal Reality: Total 2024 Chinook bycatch across all Alaska fisheries was only 38,786. The non-trawl sector caught less than 4,900 of those, while the trawl fleet caught 33,812.
The Volume Factor: While non-trawl gear has a higher rate of discard, the massive, industrial scale of the trawl fleet means trawlers are overwhelmingly responsible for the absolute volume of groundfish waste, halibut mortality, and crab bycatch.
2. Strategic Rhetoric and MotivationsThe fabricated data is a tactical deployment of "whataboutism." By inflating the numbers of the "small boats," the trawl industry aims to:
Deflect Blame: Shift the narrative from "industrial trawling is the problem" to "bycatch is a universal issue."
Counter Political Pressure: The PR campaign was a direct reaction to late-2023/early-2024 petitions from nearly 100 Western Alaska tribes demanding a "zero cap" on Chinook bycatch for trawlers.
3. Stakeholder ConflictsThe bycatch issue is highly polarized among three main groups:
Subsistence & Small Boat Coalition: Indigenous communities facing total salmon harvest bans who view trawl bycatch as an environmental and human rights injustice.
The Trawl Industry: Billion-dollar corporate producers who point to climate change as the real threat to salmon and minimize their bycatch impact.
The CDQ Complication: Western Alaska villages that own shares in factory trawlers through the Community Development Quota (CDQ) program. Shutting down trawlers to save salmon would paradoxically strip these communities of vital corporate revenue.
4. Federal Management and Recent RulingsThe North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) manages these fisheries using "hard caps" (limits that trigger season closures if hit). Despite concerns about the NPFMC being overly influenced by industry insiders, intense public pressure recently led to a historic ruling in February 2026, setting a strict hard cap of 45,000 Western Alaska-origin chum salmon for the Bering Sea pollock fleet.
Conclusion
The 2024 data manipulation is a clear example of sophisticated disinformation used in resource management. By attempting to mask the trawl fleet's role as the primary driver of bycatch mortality, this rhetoric threatens to derail meaningful policy changes needed to protect Western Alaska's salmon runs and subsistence communities.

@907Honest True. But if they can prevent/slow permafrost thawing, it's worth the money.
