Sen. Lisa Murkowski, aghast at Donald Trump’s candidacy and the direction of her party, won’t rule out bolting from the GOP. The veteran Alaska Republican, one of seven Republicans who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial amid the aftermath of January 6, 2021, is done with the former president and said she “absolutely” would not vote for him. “I wish that as Republicans, we had … a nominee that I could get behind,” Murkowski told CNN. “I certainly can’t get behind Donald Trump.” The party’s shift toward Trump has caused Murkowski to consider her future within the GOP. In the interview, she would not

Neither Lisa or her daddy (a senator who bequeathed his seat to her) were ever R's... In their minds they ARE the royal family of Alaska. At the very least she's a card-carrying Uniparty member but she's really an Undocumented Democrat. That said, may she, Mitch, Cornyn and the rest of their ilk not let the door hit 'em on the way out.

Trump's greatest triumph is driving out and exposing the thousands of saboteurs inside the Republican Party, and in the comentariat who have been crippling all efforts to reform the DV Uniparty Criminal Cabal.

She was censored by the State Repub party...and they did NOT endorse her last campaign. She only held the seat on the basis of newly implemented Ranked Choice Voting. In 2017, 5 full YEARS before the election, Murkowski filed to run for a fourth term in 2022. Due to her opposition to some of his initiatives and her vote to convict him during his second impeachment trial, former President Donald Trump pledged in June 2020 to campaign against Murkowski, implicitly endorsing a primary challenge in the process. Of the seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump, Murkowski was the only one up for reelection in 2022. After the second impeachment trial, Alaska's GOP had censured her and demanded her resignation.( Despite Trump's pledge, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell signaled the Republican senators' campaign commitee commitment to back Murkowski's 2022 campaign). On June 18, 2021, Trump endorsed former Alaska Department of Administration commissioner Kelly Tshibaka for the Senate in 2022, calling her "MAGA all the way".On July 10, 2021, the Alaska Republican Party endorsed Tshibaka. Murkowski won reelection by beating Tshibaka in ranked-choice voting. Murkowski's votes amounted to 53.7% after the ranked-choice tabulation

Just read the first page of Lucianne headlines. As #7 rightly pointed out, PDJT’s greatest triumph is his expose of how The Swamp runs. Timing is everything. The madeup charges by the black female thugs in NY and GA. The timing of the Republican “retirements/resignations” in Congress to give the communists control by November. The other machinations with the Biden Crime Family to get our eyes off of everything. There no conspiracy “theory” about any of this. It is orchestrated, planned, and being implemented by The Swamp. They hate us. They really hate us.

Before ranked choice election rules...Murkowski was less than 1000 votes ahead, less than 1% and would have faced a run off...after round one of ranked choice allocations she was only 400votes 0.13% ahead, would have faced a runoff...it wasn't until the third round where the Democrat candidates supporters 2nd/3rd choices were allocated that Murkowski puled ahead

The Senator is supposed to represent her state, and her state has massive oil and natural gas resources which the Democrats are trying to shut down. Trump is a deal maker, and her best deal will come with President Trump, which will benefit the people of Alaska.

Alaska "Appointment rules" changed after her father, who had that seat, won the Governors race and appointed HER to the seat. Now Governors have to jump through other hoops and only appoint from an approved list. In her last three elections the state party endorsed or ran someone else, yet she STILL managed to squeak into it.(With Dem and McConnels help)

She took the party's money to get reelected and won in a state that didn't put up a Democrat candidate in the final election. Too bad Alaska is stuck with her for 4 more years. They should change their ranked voting system and get rid of open primaries. They can do it with a Republican governor and legislature, but do they have the will?

Former adviser to President George W. Bush Karl Rove warned Donald Trump that the former president’s attitude toward Nikki Haley’s supporters threatens his reelection bid this November. Rove claimed that with the electoral makeup of the 2024 election so close, Trump should not upset supporters of the former U.N. ambassador because their lack of support for him could benefit President Joe Biden instead. More than 76,000 voters chose Haley in Tuesday night’s Wisconsin primary, representing a significant percentage of voters still not sold on Trump. “Mr. Trump’s attitude to his rivals’ supporters has gone from dismissiveness—’they always bend the knee’—to indifference, saying he doesn’t need ‘too many’ Haley supporters to win

Former President Barack Obama’s onetime speechwriter claimed that reports that President Joe Biden is angry over Israel’s airstrike that killed seven aid workers “only make him look weak.” Jon Favreau said Biden does not deserve credit for being “privately enraged” over the killing of the aid workers because he has not used his position to “leverage” change from the Israeli government to stop its military campaign in Gaza. Biden has received much backlash over his response to the Israel-Hamas war. “The President doesn’t get credit for being ‘privately enraged’ when he still refuses to use leverage to stop the IDF from killing and starving innocent people,” Favreau posted to X

Seattle has shuttered its gifted and talented programs because the school board determined they had too many white and Asian students. The district began phasing out its Highly Capable Cohort schools and classrooms for advanced students in the 2021-22 school year because they found it had too many racial inequities. School bosses said black and Hispanic students were underrepresented at the schools. According to Seattle Public School data, of the highly capable students in the 2022-23 school year, 52 percent were white, 16 percent were Asian and 3.4 percent were black.

I was born in the 1960s, just about the time people decided it was bad for children to be born. Oh, I don’t take it personally. It’s just people started to worry about a “population explosion.” Thanks to antibiotics, vaccines, mosquito eradication and better farming, people weren’t dying off as they had been. But they were still having babies. This led to more people. And quite a few folks — themselves already born — thought that was bad. The most famous is Stanford’s Paul Ehrlich, an entomologist whose bestselling book about people, “The Population Bomb,” promised the Earth a grim Malthusian fate, only a decade or so away. We’d see mass

Chef José Andrés, founder of the World Central Kitchen (WCK), accused Israel of targeting his aid staffers “systemically, car by car” when seven of them were killed in an airstrike Monday delivering desperately needed food to hungry Gazans. The Israeli military, meanwhile, said Wednesday that an investigation found that its forces misidentified the aid workers’ vehicles as hostile amid international criticism for the deadly bombing and Israel’s ongoing six-month siege of the enclave. The three WCK vehicles, which included two armored cars and a third unarmored one, were targeted in multiple strikes, killing workers from Australia, Canada, Poland, the UK and the US as well as their Palestinian driver.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg this week used a faulty analogy on Fox News to taunt Americans for refusing to buy overpriced, environmentally damaging electric vehicles. But Americans on social media gave the inept and elitist Buttigieg a brutal reality check afterward. Buttigieg was a guest on “America’s Newsroom” with John Roberts and Sandra Smith when he embarrassed himself. Roberts opened by telling Buttigieg about the collapsing Tesla sales and auto companies laying off large chunks of their workforces at electric plants. He then pivoted to asking why the Biden regime continued to try to shove EVs down everyone’s throats.

Iran has said that the US must bear "responsibility" after an airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria. Two of Iran's most senior military commanders were killed – Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) elite Quds Force, and Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi, a deputy commander in the Quds Force. Israel has not commented on the strike but is widely believed to be responsible having carried out numerous strikes similar to this one in the region. But Iran has warned that the US must also be held accountable despite the fact Washington has said it played no role in the attack.
Trump’s First Job In 2025: Reverse Biden’s
EV Mandate

Should Donald Trump be elected this fall, he should waste no time in reversing Joe Biden’s electric vehicle mandate. Biden not only overstepped his authority, he set the country directly on a course that will bring nothing but trouble. Acting like the authoritarian that the Democrats and media claim that Donald Trump is, Biden, with a pen and maybe a phone, has ordered through his Environmental Protection Agency to issue a rule that will require Americans to replace their internal-combustion engine automobiles with battery-powered cars. The rule doesn’t
