It's going to be an interesting Friday in the Great Land.

President Trump will be arriving, all reports say, in Alaska mid-afternoon Friday. The purpose of this trip, as we've reported right here in these virtual pages, is primarily to have a sit-down with Russian President Vladimir Putin, to look him in the eye and talk seriously about a number of issues. Ukraine will be chief among them, that much is certain.

The meetings are also reported to be held at the U.S. military base north of Anchorage, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER). That's a good idea; both national leaders can fly directly into the airbase there, meet in an area that's under tight security, and both will forgo the necessity of driving through Anchorage. 

They'll miss all of the Anchorage nut squad, too, who are already organizing.

With just a day to go before President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin arrive in Anchorage for a high-stakes meeting on the war in Ukraine, left-leaning activist groups are ramping up protest plans across the city, and sharing tactical advice to avoid being identified.

On social media pages, organizers are urging participants to conceal their identities. One post reads: “Federal government employees especially might want to consider wearing a hat or mask or sunglasses.” The 50501 Anchorage group posted: “Fellow Alaskans! If you plan to protest this week PLEASE remember, do not take photos of yourself OR others and post them. This is DANGEROUS. Please remember to bring some sort of sunglasses and mouth cover in case people ARE filming and you do not want to be filmed.”

Other posts point to heightened awareness of law enforcement monitoring. Ivan Hodes, a prominent figure in the protest movement, wrote: “We must assume that various law enforcement agencies are reading this… Come peacefully and come correct: we shall overcome.”

Wait, I thought wearing masks was a bad thing? Apparently, it's only bad when federal law enforcement does it, which seems odd, since nobody is threatening the families of loudmouthed leftist nuts, not even in Alaska. Also: This isn't going to be dangerous, unless one is susceptible to being annoyed to death.

Here's the schedule of nutballery:

Events are planned throughout the next two days:

• Thursday, Aug. 14, 4:30 pm — Seward Highway at Midtown Mall.
• Friday, Aug. 15, morning — At both Boniface and Government Hill gates to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER).
• Friday, noon — 510 L Street, across the Senate offices.
• Friday, various times — MLK Memorial at Delaney Park, where protesters say they will “unfurl one of the largest Ukrainian flags in the world” beginning around 1:30 pm.

President Trump and President Putin likely won't see any of them except, perhaps, a few screeching nuts at the gates. This makes this whole thing something of an exercise in futility. But then, Anchorages' lefties are old pros at exercises in futility.

New: The Alaska Summit Planned to Take Place on JBER

Now it's being reported that both American and Russian delegations will be housed at the University of Alaska Anchorage, which is in the city, more or less 10 miles from JBER, although one can proceed from one to the other without going downtown, where Mayor LaFrance's homeless enclaves still litter the streets. It's not clear who among the two delegations will be taken there or how long they are staying; from what indications we have so far, there is only one afternoon's worth of meeting planned, after which presumably President Trump and Tsar Vladimir I will depart. 

The few details we know of the meeting indicate that President Trump and President Putin will meet at 3:30 PM local time, with just the two national leaders and interpreters; President Trump has indicated that, regardless of the outcome of that meeting, he will be holding a press conference afterward. There are also reports that President Trump will be speaking with Governor Dunleavy and possibly Senator Dan Sullivan; as of this writing, Princess Lisa Murkowski is not on the schedule.

Alaska doesn't get a lot of presidential attention. You would think, given our place in America's energy portfolio as well as our strategic importance, we would, but our three electoral votes reliably go to Republicans in presidential contests. The last time the Great Land voted for a Democrat for president was Lyndon Johnson in 1964. With that and our small population, we tend to get overlooked in campaigns. So, this Alaska Summit may well be the Great Land's biggest political event of the year. And, it could well be a meeting with tremendous results - like peace.

Trust Anchorage lefties to try to screw it up and embarrass us in the process.
