Notes from the Resistance...
Nor is this the first time the Miller campaign has alleged evidence of the establishment-funded Murkowski using “dirty tricks” in its attempts to derail his grassroots challenge to the status quo. [More]The real question this raises: What does Donald Trump have to lose by reciprocating and endorsing Joe Miller, especially after Lisa Murkowski just tossed him under the Hillary crapper bus?
Senator Lisa Murkowski Draws Republican Primary Challenger [More]
How many more betrayals will Alaskans stand?
Primarying Murkowski would be not just the strongest signal voters could send Republicans but it's a necessary one. We're at a point of political no-return where I don't care if they vote our way out of principle or out of fear as long as they vote our way.

On December 16th, anti-gun leaders Senator Feinstein and Senator Durbin joined arms with Republican Senators Ernst and Murkowski to announce: “After nearly three years of negotiations, we have reached an agreement… “We are committed to introducing a bipartisan, modernized VAWA reauthorization next month.” Senator Feinstein went on to brag that this compromise would expand the misdemeanor gun ban. Given the makeup of the Senate, there is NO REASON that gun control should pass this Congress. And to be sure, Senators who were elected on a pro-gun platform have no business HELPING the Biden Administration enact its gun control agenda. [More]
I'd send the email but my "Republican" Senator Portman is an on-his-way-out Vichycon lump with nothing to lose and Democrat Sherrod Brown is a flat-out cultural Marxist.
Right now they're making lots of noise and puffing themselves up. I want to see if the needle moves over at GovTrack, which currently gives this a 2% passage prognosis. That will determine if it's worth writing another column.
The bigger issue here is dumping those traitorous hags Murkowski and Ernst, and that's mostly up to their constituents.
Murkowski responded stating, "Joe suggested that I support Merrick Garland. I support a process to allow there to be an advise and consent process to move forward."
“You cannot have it both ways," Miller retorted.
"You can absolutely have it both ways," was the senator's answer.
“Joe Miller’s commitment to the right to keep and bear arms is unwavering … [More]Unlike Murkowski, whose "good votes won't mean a thing in a few years if her establishment "immigration" support brings about that "fundamental transformation" Obama's been waving in front of our faces...
Alaska’s Other RINO Senator Vows to Fight Any Censure of Lisa Murkowski [More]So Dan Sullivan AND Lisa Murkowski are both swamp things?
Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, broke with her party Friday morning in voting against moving ahead with Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. [More]Thanks, political geniuses at NRA!
Murkowski: No, I'm Not Switching Parties [More]
The question I have is why do Alaskan Republicans keep giving her the choice?

Trump Endorses Lisa Murkowski’s GOP Challenger Kelly Tshibaka For 2022 [More]
I've seen him endorse far too many squishes and outright enemies over the years.
Good riddance if it works.
I will be a strong voice in opposition to illegal immigration and, as the proud descendant of Americans who fought in virtually every major American conflict from the Revolutionary War to the Vietnam War, I will be a tireless advocate for our military and our veterans. I will fight to preserve our Second Amendment right to bear arms and, as an unapologetically pro-life Alaska conservative, I will be a voice for the unborn. And I’m for America first, always.
Naturally, the left already has its knives out.
I just want to know if I'm pronouncing her name right.

So what are Goldilocks Alaskans going to do about it -- besides dissing Joe Miller as unacceptable?

Senate forces Jackson nomination out of committee with bipartisan vote - GOP Sens. Murkowski and Romney joined Collins to vote with Democrats. [More]
There's a total shocker.
I'm sure the gun groups will all be sending us hysterical emails about this that end with a plea for financial support. Instead, why not ask them where their alerts were urging members to invoke Senate Rule 26?
Republicans and Trump voters want Republicans and Trump to fight. The best way to demoralize Republican and Trump voters is to not fight for this. [More]
I don't know if I'd give that much credit to generic "Republicans." They don't call 'em The Stupid Party for nothing.
I'm waiting to see who else joins Murkowski.
Tell me Susan Collins surprises anyone.

When asked if the NRSC would back Murkowski financially, Scott said “Absolutely.” [More]
He's the same charlatan raising money pretending he's a Team Trump loyalist.
