'Fishy' politics in Alaska ~ By Victoria Jackson

Just yesterday, I had posted the column written this week by my friend Phil Elmore, "Please report me to #AttackWatch." In my introduction, I wrote, "It is time to make the Obama strategy 'shovel ready.' (There, now you have the ammunition to also report me to #AttackWatch!)"

Well, throw in this post of the column by Vicky Jackson, and maybe I will be the one that becomes "shovel ready!" In her column, Vicky reported on the voting issues in Alaska. I included the first of the videos she provided to us in her column.

When I finished reading Vicky's column, and watched the video you will see below, and then regarded what Phil Elmore discussed in his column, I had to wonder if there was anything we could do to stop an evil machine that's bent on "transforming America" into a tyrannical nightmare.

With the general ignorance of most American people, I am starting to wonder if freedom is becoming "shovel ready." (By the way, when seeing the words, "Shovel ready," think: Grave diggers.)   I'm just sayin'...

"It's not who votes that counts, but who counts the votes."

– Josef Stalin
I was dying to ask Joe Miller about the ridiculously "fishy" 2010 Alaskan Senate election. Driving from a Juneau tea party held in an empty room in a rundown mall, back to our WND Celebrity cruise ship, Joe, his beautiful wife, Kathleen, and our beautiful volunteer driver, homeschool mom/tea-party activist Barbara, were kind enough to oblige me.


"Miller ran on the tea-party platform of reduced taxes and government, opposition to abortion, repeal of the health-care law passed by the Democrats in 2010, and restriction of federal earmarks for local projects."

Sounds like my kind of candidate. And, listen to his resume: Joe is an attorney, a U.S. magistrate judge, a faithful husband and father of eight, a 1997 graduate of Yale Law School, a combat veteran of the 1991 Gulf War and a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point where he received his bachelor's degree in political science with honors, and where he was a member of the Officer's Christian Fellowship, an organization that seeks to "develop career-long 'ambassadors for Christ in uniform.'" Wow.

Joe Miller, please be the president.

Copenhagen’s political science ~ By Sarah Palin

From Sarah Palin's Notes (Facebook page)
Copenhagen’s political science The Washington Post Op-ed and Response to Climate Change and Gravity By Sarah Palin Wednesday, December 9, 2009 With the publication of damaging e-mails from a climate research center in Britain, the radical environmental movement appears to face a tipping point. The revelation of appalling actions by so-called climate change experts allows the American public to finally understand the concerns so many of us have articulated on this issue. “Climate-gate,” as the e-mails and other documents from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia have become known, exposes a highly politicized scientific circle -- the same circle whose work underlies efforts at the Copenhagen climate change conference. The agenda-driven policies being pushed in Copenhagen won’t change the weather, but they would change our economy for the worse. The e-mails reveal that leading climate “experts” deliberately destroyed records, manipulated data to “hide the decline” in global temperatures, and tried to silence their critics by preventing them from publishing in peer-reviewed journals. What’s more, the documents show that there was no real consensus even within the CRU crowd. Some scientists had strong doubts about the accuracy of estimates of temperatures from centuries ago, estimates used to back claims that more recent temperatures are rising at an alarming rate. This scandal obviously calls into question the proposals being pushed in Copenhagen. I’ve always believed that policy should be based on sound science, not politics. As governor of Alaska, I took a stand against politicized science when I sued the federal government over its decision to list the polar bear as an endangered species despite the fact that the polar bear population had more than doubled. I got clobbered for my actions by radical environmentalists nationwide, but I stood by my view that adding a healthy species to the endangered list under the guise of “climate change impacts” was an abuse of the Endangered Species Act. This would have irreversibly hurt both Alaska’s economy and the nation’s, while also reducing opportunities for responsible development. READ FULL STORY>>

A Month Later - Still Celebrating Sarah's Independence Day

From Sarah's Web Brigade By Adrienne Ross from www.motivationtruth.com Wednesday, August 26, 2009 One month ago today, I awoke in North Pole, Alaska. A couple hours later we headed to Fairbanks to celebrate independence with Governor Palin. It was her last Governor's Picnic--the last one ever--and she would be turning the reins over to Sean Parnell at the end of the day. I had been praying for a couple weeks that her heart would be prepared for that moment, which I figured had to come with some mixed emotions. I was so glad to see no signs of sadness from the governor that day--great love for the people of Alaska, oh yes. But I saw absolutely no regret at her decision. [READ ENTIRE COLUMN]
Of course, I needed to throw in the following video with this blog. Watch me shine: A Sarah Palin Tribute.

Way to go, Sarah! ~ By Barbara Simpson

(I must say, before you start reading, that Barbara must be able to read my mind! She says just what I think. Thank you for this column, Barbara!)
By Barbara Simpson Posted: July 06, 2009 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 It was quite amazing. Sarah Palin stole the headlines from Michael Jackson! It was Friday, the day before a national holiday, and in the way of Americans these days, Independence Day celebrations had begun. Crowds left town; many businesses closed early or didn't bother to open at all, making it another three-day weekend. But in Alaska, in the yard of her home, Gov. Sarah Palin made a speech that shook both political parties and brought out more of the insulting long knives among the so-called pundits. Even on a normal Friday, generally speaking, "news" doesn't happen and media are essentially closed for the weekend. No one expects breaking news. Sarah Palin chose late morning in Alaska to drop her media bombshell; it was after 4 p.m. on the East Coast. Media were wrapped up, and most regular talk hosts were on vacation, their microphones manned by some "fill in" who never anticipated big news! The bombshell Palin dropped on the small crowd gathered as she spoke, was that not only was she not going to run for re-election as governor, she would resign her office July 26. That's it! Done! Over! Her short speech was addressed to Alaskans and briefly outlined both the history and importance of the state as well as her administration's accomplishments. If she were a candidate, it was a perfect summary of campaign talking points. It was stunning in its political import and reaction ranged from name calling, to psychological analysis to ridicule. According to some, her political career is over. They're far from kind, but the media have never been kind to Palin. In fact, Palin talked about media attitudes – from ignoring Alaska and its people to the personal attacks on her and her family. Clearly she's not happy with the flood of dirty journalism and bottom-feeding reporters who, from the moment she was named to the McCain ticket, spent all of their time digging for dirt about her and targeting her family and children.

Sarah Palin not under FBI investigation, agency spokesman says

This story came to me via Twitter by the Governor herself:
~ AKGovSarahPalin Trying to keep up w/getting truth to u, like proof there's no "FBI scandal", here's link http://tinyurl.com/nzlae8 Thanks, AK! ~
The former GOP vice presidential candidate's surprise resignation as Alaska governor had set off speculation, including rumors of a pending federal corruption probe or charges. By Josh Meyer July 5, 2009 latimes.com ~ Reporting from Washington -- A day after Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin resigned, a federal official in her home state dismissed one potential explanation for her sudden and unexpected resignation: a rumored FBI investigation into the former Wasilla mayor on public corruption charges. Despite rumors of a looming controversy after the Republican governor's surprise announcement Friday that she would leave office this month, some of them published in the blogosphere, the FBI's Alaska spokesman said the bureau had no investigation into Palin for her activities as governor, as mayor or in any other capacity. "There is absolutely no truth to those rumors that we're investigating her or getting ready to indict her," Special Agent Eric Gonzalez said in a phone interview Saturday. "It's just not true." He added that there was "no wiggle room" in his comments for any kind of inquiry. The FBI has been active in mounting corruption investigations in Alaska, some to see whether local, state and federal lawmakers illegally received favors, money or free construction work from businesses or people seeking favors. The most high-profile case was against former Republican Sen. Ted Stevens, whose conviction last year on charges of lying on Senate ethics forms stemmed from charges that a politically connected developer had done work on his house illegally. [CONTINUE READING]
