The 11th Airborne here in Alaska is on standby as King Trump contemplates sending troops to stand against fellow Americans on US soil. Murkowski? Sullivan? Begich? Anyone? Didn’t think so.

It seems the chaos follows the personnel. The city manager driving chaos in Palmer is none other than Bronson’s former deputy municipal manager who was central to his fluoride scandal.

Remember: they can justify your murder because you honked at ICE agents, but you can't ask where the 5 million Epstein documents are or call out the president for protecting pedophiles. Man, what on earth is this country coming to?

Takes control is a weird way of saying - attacking a NATO country. The media is so fucked rn.
Greenland’s harsh environment, lack of key infrastructure and difficult geology have prevented anyone from building a mine to extract the sought-after rare earth elements that many high-tech products require. Those challenges won't go away even if President Trump takes control of the arctic island.

Yep. They’re going to steal it - and still, Democrats and Republicans are all - nuh uh - Trump can’t do that. He would never do that - he’s just talking. 😆

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

We don't yet know what seat failed school board candidate and QAnon conspiracy theorist Alexander Rosales is going to run for, but we do know who he is running AGAINST: students, teachers, and families. Insane. I bet the AK GOP cuts him a check.

Audible gasp. You mean to tell me that after we saw a policy adviser defend Hitler, a Human Rights Commissioner defend "FUHRER" license plates, and an Assistant AG tweet hate speech, there might be a problem with the state's workplace culture? I am shocked. Aren’t you shocked? So shocked.
