We may not have a lot of strength showing from the White House when it comes to dealing with Russia, but it looks like we have some in Alaska. Russian Duma member Oleg Matveychev, whom some have referred to as the Kremlin’s “spin doctor,” went on Russian state media and said they want reparations for the sanctions that the U.S. imposed upon them. Matveychev then said he wants “the return of all Russian properties, those of the Russian empire, the Soviet Union and current Russia, which has been seized in the United States, and so on.” As we noted earlier, that included Alaska and even Fort Ross, California,

Good luck with that! Not if we have something to say about it. We have hundreds of thousands of armed Alaskans and military members that will see it differently. https://t.co/ji0Hiza1TE — Governor Mike Dunleavy (@GovDunleavy) March 15, 2022 “Good luck with that!” Dunleavy said in response to Matveychev’s demands. “Not if we have something to say about it,” he added. “We have hundreds of thousands of armed Alaskans and military members that will see it differently.” That retort is almost good enough to offset the annoyance of the STUPID TW*TTER ECHO wherever tweets are cited. Most of us are almost numb to it by now; but every now and then it feels like another poke in the eye poke in the eye.

Alaska real life television programs like Life Below Zero show some very resourceful people hunting, trapping, and fishing, and living off the land. Their grocery store is the out of doors. All of them are armed, and since they depend on their weapons for both food and safety, their skills with firearms are necessarily considerable. Putin appears to have gotten greedy and miscalculated on the resilience of Ukrainians. We don't know how long this war will last, but at the end of it Putin will be toast. Russian military weakness is evident. The Russians really do have something to worry about in the east, something a lot closer than Alaska or Ft. Ross, California: Siberia. Some of us will live to see China annex that. Russia will continue to shrink.

Oh boy, i was really worried alaska would be ceded to russia. Good thing we tossed back some tough talk from our brilliant leaders to quell the gambit. Why don’t we cede the US to mexico to save all those nice people the difficulties of making the trip? They can just stay where they are, we’ll mail them their checks and build back better housing for them where they are- and of course get a few years’ supply of mail in ballots signed.

Everybody is armed in Alaska. There was a cop show that took place in Alaska. The police were very aware that most likely everyone they stopped was armed. Their approach was a bit more restrained since they did not want people pulling guns on them all the time. Has Alaska invested in surface to air missiles? Since there is no land bridge, attacks would come from the air. Make sure you have some good fighter jets too. In case of high-altitude attacks. Giving back Alaska would be preposterous, but our current President is very big on preposterous.

#7 Great bit of sarcasm, or was it? I wonder why the Climate change drama queens don't object to the filling up of our country by illegal and legal immigrants, most of whom are too poor in their former countries to be users of fossil fuels, but gaining prosperity, at out expense, begin to pollute with the rest of us.

It was called Seward's Folly. In 1867, the United States bought Alaska from the Russians for 7.2 million dollars. So, a deal is a deal. Unlike Russia and the Ukrainians, we didn't invade, and we didn't occupy.

After you have avoided poop and needles in San Francisco, put some $7 a gallon gasoline into your car and drive north to Fort Ross. Beautiful scenery and Fort Ross is well worth a visit. While you are in the area, visit Fort Bragg, not the army place in Kentucky, but the small town on Noyo Bay. The movie SUMMER OF 42 was filmed there. I was very young and my family was on vacation there while filming was in progress. The bumper and part of the trunk of our car appears in one scene.

Democrats are committed "to eliminating carbon pollution from power plants by 2035." They want banks to stop financing fossil fuel development by 2030, and they want to end the use of fossil fuels completely by 2050. In reaction to Russia's war with Ukraine, the Biden administration has stopped imports of Russian oil but is negotiating with Iran and Venezuela to make up the shortfall. The Democrat administration is panicking to assure the supply of a commodity that it wants to cancel. Wars have been fought, won, and lost because of oil. The Democrat party needs to reconsider its green energy goals before it damages America's economy

Joe Biden embarrassed himself (yet again) on Thursday, proving once again that he should never try to riff during a public speech. “I just want you to know, I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid,” Biden quipped during the Annual Friends of Ireland Luncheon. “I married Domenic Giacoppo’s daughter.” As it happens, the man who just insisted that he isn’t stupid confused his wife’s father and grandfather. “First Lady Jill Biden was born to Donald Carl Jacobs and Bonny Jean Jacobs,” explains The Daily Caller. “Her grandfather, Domenico Giacoppo, is from the tiny village of Gesso in Sicily.” Joe Biden has made many attempts at ad-libbing during speeches that have failed spectacularly.

Far be it from me to pick on an elderly woman twice in one week, but Nancy Pelosi just won’t leave the world alone for that long. Worse, neither will U2 frontman Bono. “I got this message this morning from Bono,” Pelosi told the attendees of the White House’s annual Friends of Ireland luncheon. She said that Bono “has been a very Irish part of our lives,” whatever that means. Before we get to the meat of the matter, let me admit my cultural bias right up front: I don’t care much for U2. This makes me a bad child of the ’80s, I’m sure, but U2’s sound is not for me.

Until sanity is restored in our country, records will show that Lia Thomas was the winner of the 2022 women’s NCAA 500-yard freestyle event. However, we all know the story behind Thomas by now. Lia is not a woman, but a man identifying as a woman. Anyone interested in the sanctity of competition, biological integrity, and saving women’s sports, should celebrate Emma Weyant, the actual woman who won the 2022 women's NCAA 500-yard freestyle event on Thursday night.

Writing in the Wall Street Journal, the Hudson Institute's Walter Russell Mead pronounces the Biden administration's great power diplomacy an unmitigated failure. Mead's criticism cannot be dismissed as a partisan attack — he is a member in good standing of the U.S. foreign policy establishment. Mead is also steeped in history and geopolitics — two subjects that appear to have eluded the stalwarts of President Biden's foreign policy team. "Most ... of the ideas Team Biden brought to the White House," Mead writes, "failed to work," and most of the changes that U.S. foreign policy will require today and in the immediate future "will be toxic to much

MARION COUNTY, OR- Law Enforcement Today has reported several times on Oregon Gov. Kate Brown’s mass release of prisoners ostensibly due to “COVID.” Now, a judge has ordered a pause on Brown’s early release of prisoners, as reported in the Epoch Times. The new order refers to prisoners who committed crimes as juveniles, which grants part of the relief sought in a lawsuit filed against Brown by two district attorneys and four members of homicide victims. Since March 1, 2020, Brown has granted early release to nearly 1,200 convicted felons, including 10 convicted murderers. Marion County Circuit Court Judge David Leith ruled earlier this month that Brown unlawfully conferred her clemency powers

Gretta Vedler, 23, went missing a year ago after her anti-Putin social media rant, but the two events do not appear to be connected. "Vedler's ex-boyfriend Dmitry Korovin, 23, has now confessed to strangling her to death before driving her 300 miles to the Lipetsk region and abandoning the body in the boot of a car.." the Daily Star reports. Korovin told authorities that he slept in a hotel room for three nights with her dead body, which was stuffed in a newly bought suitcase.

The country is in the very best of hands — Nancy Pelosi’s trembling hands at the command of what appears to be a cocktail-impaired brain. Trust me. I know the drinking signs. It’s my considered opinion that the San Francisco-based House Speaker is filled to the gills in the clip you’re about to witness. It’s bad enough when a Blue Enclave progressive tries to explain military and geopolitical events, like an internet rando on fentanyl trying to explain rocket science to Elon Musk. Nevertheless, Pelosi’s love for the camera, though unrequited, necessitates that she publicly pontificate whenever the red light comes on, even when her BA count is double the legal limit

The American dollar is currently the world's reserve currency, meaning it is the primary means of handling transactions between nations that have differing currencies. To qualify as a reserve currency, it must be stable and readily available, and it can be considered a safe-haven currency. In some ways, a reserve currency can become a self-fulfilling prophecy because its very status enhances its value. For Americans, that status helps prop up America's enormous debt load. That's why it was very disturbing to learn that Saudi Arabia, disgusted with the current management in Washington, D.C., is looking to start pricing

The Biden administration knows it has a looming “mass migration event” in the very near future when it ends the use of Title 42 at the southern border. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) quietly set up the Southwest Border Coordination Center (SBCC) to coordinate its response. Think of it as a war room to game out the coming flood of illegal migrants to the southern border. I say that SBCC was quietly created because before the reporting today by Axios, the war room wasn’t reported on in the media. The reason for the nervous preparation for a mass event is because with the pandemic essentially ending,
