Alaska State Troopers Take Down Two Armed
Thugs in Three Days

Alaska State Troopers don't mess around. Alaska is a different kind of place in many ways, not the least of which is law enforcement. In our Susitna Valley home, there is no local law enforcement. Some of the towns (Wasilla, Palmer) have municipal police departments, but out in the Borough, where we live, the only law enforcement are the Alaska State Troopers, who may require 30-45 minutes to respond to our location. Fortunately, most Alaskans are capable of handling things on their own; our per-capita gun ownership is among the highest in the nation (in the Valley, even the hippies have guns),

As a former AST, many years ago, it was a miracle to have a 45 minute response time. The Road POST I was assigned had 800 miles of road in the summer and only 400 in the winter. Five native villiages three of which had to be accessed by charter plane, 30,000 Square miles, 70 below for three weeks in the winter and a myriad of alcohol problems. Alaskans are a different, harder, breed. Your back up can be measured in hours not minutes. There was one time my back up for a fatal accident in the middle of the winter was three hundred miles away. In other words there was no back up for this and most other events. You learn to be hard and independent. In the remote posts, in the old days, having two Troopers together usually signified shift change or lunch. It is no wonder the author considered them hard serious men, they are. They have to be, especially in the more remote posts. I am glad to see they are still that way. My second 20 was in the federal system; a completely different animal. My 20 with the Alaska State Troopers was a serious job compared to just about anything in the federal system ( there area very few exceptions, but they do exist). May God bless the Alaska State Troopers. Their motto is Loyalty, Intregrity, Courage. Words for all of us to live by.

Don't mess with State Troopers in Alaska. Lots of far rural places have extremely slow law enforcement. A friend had a very large wheat farm in western Kansas, and complained that his tractor drivers were getting shot at by strange people on the small rural roads. Specifically the drivers described them as "Mexicans". He called the county sheriff and complained. The sheriff told him something like "Our county is about 1,000 square miles and about 6 officers are on duty at any one time. It can take 40 minutes to get a deputy to your location at times. Take care of it yourself, if you know what I mean." He bought semi-auto rifles and scabbards for all his tractors (did I mention it was a BIG wheat farm) and told the drivers to "shoot back". The county population is something around 2,000 people, I think. I'm sure that similar situations exist in ND, SD, Montana and Wyoming, maybe Texas and Oklahoma, too. In remote places, you often can't get law enforcement in a hurry. Good that Alaska State Troopers were able to get there in time these two times. I suspect that pretty often folks have to take care of it themselves.

There used to be a reality TV shiw..."Alaska State Troopers". It showed what they had to deal with, and how it was often one or two troopers on their own for, no quick backup.

An alleged robber was shot and killed during an exchange of gunfire Saturday night with an employee at Philadelphia’s George’s Famous Pizzeria. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that two alleged robbers entered the pizzeria around 8 p.m. “wearing hooded sweatshirts and masks.” One of the alleged robbers was armed with a handgun and fired a round while trying to get behind the counter. One of the pizzeria employees then opened fire on the suspect, shooting the alleged robber multiple times. The alleged robber was pronounced dead approximately 30 minutes after entering the pizzeria. 6 ABC noted that “the second suspect fled from the pizza shop on foot.”

To be perfectly clear about this from the outset: There is nothing “good” or worthwhile to be had from the bloody and barbaric invasion of Israel at the hands of Hamas terrorists on the morning of Oct. 7. Countless innocent Israelis have been brutally murdered, lives have been irrevocably changed (for the worse), and things will likely get much bloodier before anything gets any better in the region. But if there’s one useful thing to emerge from the chaos and destruction, it’s that countless anti-Semites have willingly and loudly unmasked themselves. And while it’s good that raging anti-Semites will struggle to find work after they rack up a hefty Harvard tab,

The push to let boys who identify as girls play on girls’ teams is not only unfair to young girls, causing them to lose competitions and spots on teams that rightly belong to them, but it can also be very dangerous for the physically weaker females. A high school field hockey game in Massachusetts has become the latest flashpoint for transgender athletes competing in girls’ sports. During a match between Swampscott High School and Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School on Nov. 2, a Dighton-Rehoboth player was struck in the face by a ball raised by a male player. Video of the injury circulated online, prompting outrage from many people, according to Newsweek.

Wayne Allyn Root, host of “America’s Top 10 Countdown” on the Real America’s Voice network, perfectly spelled out reality for the United States on a recent show. He described what will occur in our own country if we allow the Biden administration and Democratic leaders to take in millions of Palestinian refugees in response to the Israel-Hamas war. Root warned in his Oct. 21 show that “for the few that will be saved, many more American citizens will unnecessarily die.” Islamic extremists don’t distinguish between Jews and Christians, Israelis and Americans. Unless you are Muslim and living according to Sharia law, death is stamped on your forehead.

The number of left-wingers falling for Hamas propaganda is disturbing while also enormously entertaining since they’re exposing the world to their stupidity. The terrorists win by preying on the ignorant, and they have struck oil when it comes to American academia, the media, and the legions of doltish college students who have been clamoring for Jews to die in Israel. The Gaza hospital story, which is fake news, is already taken as gospel by the Left. The pro-Hamas crowd thinks Israel struck a hospital in the strip, which killed over 400 people. It was the work of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, whose rocket salvo had an errant launch,

There are a lot of true villains in politics: people who are filled with hate and are true supporters of evil — Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, Omar, Pressley, et al. They seek to destroy Western culture and the United States and to prop up evil regimes and terrorist organizations. It’s especially easy to see them right now as they try to justify the evil of Hamas, as they try to destroy Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, and they strive to tear down our country with riots on college campuses and even the Capitol. But none of them disappoint or anger me as much as Chuck Schumer,

Democrats love to refer to themselves as the party of diversity. It's always important for leftists to display how many different demographic categories are among their ranks. But what we don't see on the left is diversity of thought. Black conservatives become the targets of disrespect and outright racism from the left. Just ask Clarence Thomas, Tim Scott, and Condoleezza Rice. The latest example of this phenomenon is taking place in Kentucky, where Democrats are going full racist in attacking GOP gubernatorial candidate Daniel Cameron, who is black. Cameron has trailed incumbent Gov. Andy Beshear until recently.

Social media has made it easier for certain things to spread, like a virus, but Maher added that this was like a volcano going off.

CHICAGO — Sophee Langerman was on her way to a bicycle safety rally in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood in June when a car turning right rolled through a red light and slammed into her bike, which she was walking off the curb and into the crosswalk. The car was moving slowly enough that Langerman escaped serious injury, but the bicycle required extensive repairs. To Langerman, it’s another argument for ending a practice that almost all U.S. cities have embraced for decades: the legal prerogative for a driver to turn right after stopping at a red light.

Tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters massed in Washington, DC, Saturday afternoon before descending upon the White House to chant, “Allahu akbar” and “F–k Joe Biden” as they accused the president of genocide and demanded a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” the crowd dotted with Palestinian flags and signs cried at the start of the event, which drew attendees from across the country. The chant – which is growing increasingly popular in the wake of Hamas’ deadly incursion into southern Israel last month and Israel’s subsequent retaliatory attacks on Gaza – is widely considered antisemitic because it implies the elimination

Barack Obama is not a learned man, but it’s a mistake to confuse that with stupidity. He is, in fact, an extremely clever man. Combine that cleverness with the fact that he truly dislikes Israel and has aligned himself with those countries and groups that wish to destroy the country, complete with the genocide of all of its inhabitants, and you end up with someone who covertly signals to Israel’s enemies his ideological allegiance with them, even while seemingly treading a morally meaningless line right down the middle. Those of us who have paid close attention to Obama over the years know that he dislikes Jews and Israel. Here

Instead of moving forward and returning to normalcy, health officials double down on precautionary measures to “limit the spread of RSV, the flu and COVID.” This month, Santa Clara County decided that everyone — patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers alike — must don the all-too-familiar face masks in public patient care areas in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities. This directive is not for a week or a month but for the entire “winter respiratory virus period,” Mercury News reported. This mandate is slated to span from November 1 to the end of March. That’s a whole five months of mask-wearing, in spite of declining COVID cases.

London has become ground zero for some of the most disturbing pro-Hamas demonstrations in the world following the attacks on October 7th in Israel, and things just got a lot more chilling. As RedState reported, tens of thousands have marched through the streets, some shouting antisemitic slogans and declaring support for "intifada." The mobs have also taken over various British monuments, desecrating and damaging them. In light of that, counter-protestors showed up on Saturday to ask people to respect British heritage. Instead of being allowed to march down the street as the pro-Hamas protesters have done, though, they were forced to stay behind barricades.
