Does This Poll Show Murkowski Can Kiss The Senate Goodbye?

/0 Comments/in , /by

A recent survey of Alaska voters shows Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s political future is in peril in the 2022 primary.

According to a Cygnal poll released at the end of March, Murkowski only has 33 percent favorability among voters, which craters to just 10 percent among Republicans. As Reagan reported, the senator is facing a primary challenge from Kelly Tshibaka, who stepped down last month as commissioner for the Alaska Department of Administration.

Tshibaka leads in a hypothetical primary ballot, with the support of 61 percent of Republicans. “Lisa Murkowski is in as weak of a position as an incumbent could possibly find themselves,” Cygnal notes. “A strong Republican candidate is poised to defeat Murkowski. Kelly Tshibaka is that candidate.” (Read more from “Does This Poll Show Murkowski Can Kiss The Senate Goodbye?” HERE)

Lisa Murkowski Draws First Major Primary Challenger

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski drew her first major primary challenger Monday from the state’s commissioner of administration, Kelly Tshibaka.

“We know what Washington D.C. thinks about Alaska: We’re here for their benefit, and we won’t put up much of a fight. After nearly 20 years in D.C., Lisa Murkowski thinks the same way,” Tshibaka said in an announcement video published Monday declaring her candidacy.

The challenge comes two weeks after the Alaska Republican Party voted to censure Murkowski and pledge support for a primary opponent. While the censure came in part by Murkowski’s vote in favor of former President Donald Trump’s impeachment, the party cited Murkowski’s long history of decisions on consequential issues that fly in the face of conservative and Alaskan interests, from abortion to transgender sports.

Lisa Murkowski Joins With Democrats for Senate’s First Transgender Confirmation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alaska’s illegitimate senator, Lisa Murkowski, joined with Democrats on Wednesday in a 52-48 vote to confirm transgender Rachel Levine, Biden’s celebrated-appointee to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Levine was in charge of Pennsylvania’s Health Department before being selected by Biden to be his second-in-charge at DHHS.

Levine’s confirmation hearing had several extraordinary moments. In response to aggressive questioning by Senator Rand Paul, Levine refused to condemn the barbaric mutilation of children’s sex organs. Nor would he criticize allowing three year old children to make decisions regarding their gender. Watch the exchange here:

Note Levine’s scripted, repeated response.

Even after this, Lisa Murkowski still felt it was appropriate to make this very unwell person the nation’s second-most senior health official.

Yet more evidence of who Lisa Murkowski really is and her complete disconnect from the average Alaskan voter.

Report: China Broke Two-Minute Speaking Rule at Alaska Meeting

/0 Comments/in , /by

After their highly contentious first meeting in Alaska Thursday, Chinese diplomats and President Joe Biden’s foreign policy team accused each other of violating protocols that were agreed upon in advance.

A senior U.S. official, speaking to reporters on background after the opening session, accused the Chinese of “violating protocol” by speaking for much longer than two minutes as previously agreed, according to the South China Morning Post. The opening exchange of statements wound up lasting for over an hour instead of the brief introduction and photo opportunity that was envisioned.

“We will use the remaining hours to outline for the Chinese delegation in private the same messages we have consistently delivered in public. The Chinese delegation, on the other hand, seems to have arrived intent on grandstanding, focused on public theatrics and dramatics over substance,” the American official said.

Alaska Republican Party Censures Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Pledges Primary Challenge

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. The Alaska Republican Party on Saturday voted to censure Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) at its quarterly meeting and pledged to support a primary challenger against the incumbent lawmaker.

In January, Murkowski joined six other Republican senators in voting to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial in which the former president was acquitted of inciting the deadly January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

“There’s a number of issues that the party has had with Sen. Murkowski for the last several years which really culminated in the conviction vote of former President Trump,” said Kris Warren, head of the Anchorage Republican Party group. “She’s repeatedly spoken out against President Trump over the years in spite of all the great accomplishments he had that helped the country and certainly helped Alaska.”

Earlier this March, Trump promised to campaign against Murkowski, who is up for re-election in 2022. (Read more from “Alaska Republican Party Censures Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Pledges Primary Challenge” HERE)

Alaska GOP Censures Murkowski

By The Hill. . .Warren said he was upset with Murkowski over past votes to preserve the Affordable Care Act and against an amendment to the most recent coronavirus relief package that would have banned trans women from competing in sports. He took issue with her decision to vote present on the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and her support for Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.), President Biden’s choice to lead the Interior Department.

But the resolution focused most on Murkowski’s relationship with the former president.

“She’s repeatedly spoken out against President Trump over the years in spite of all the great accomplishments he had that helped the country and certainly helped Alaska,” Warren said.

Murkowski’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. She has not said whether she will seek a fourth full term, though her campaign account had $1 million in the bank at the end of 2020.

Warren declined to speculate on potential challengers who might take on the three-term Republican, who took office in 2002 to succeed her father after he became governor. Former Gov. Sarah Palin (R) has issued vague threats about running herself, though she is not seen as a likely candidate a dozen years after she left the governor’s mansion in the middle of her first term.

Lisa Murkowski Could Move the Puerto Rico Statehood Bill Forward

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last year, while most Americans were focusing on the contentious presidential election, there was another critical election that could have an outsized influence on American politics for years to come.

The vote on the island asked Puerto Ricans whether they supported statehood for the island — the third such status vote in less than 10 years. Once again, the majority of Puerto Rican voters, 52.34 percent, supported statehood. It is now incumbent upon Congress to take action.

In addition to Puerto Rico’s representative Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon in the House of Representatives and others, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), the former chairwoman and current senior member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, has an opportunity to play a crucial role.

The Energy and Natural Resources Committee has jurisdiction over issues surrounding Puerto Rico’s status. The committee would be the first step for relevant legislation in the Senate. This is one direct tie for Sen. Murkowski. A less direct tie is that the senator was born in Alaska at a time when it was still a territory, which may help her understand this issue better than most.

Bear Attacks Woman From “Toilet” in Alaska Outhouse

An Alaska woman had the scare of a lifetime when using an outhouse in the backcountry and she was attacked by a bear, from below.

“I got out there and sat down on the toilet and immediately something bit my butt right as I sat down,” Shannon Stevens told The Associated Press on Thursday. “I jumped up and I screamed when it happened.” . . .

“I opened the toilet seat and there’s just a bear face just right there at the level of the toilet seat, just looking right back up through the hole, right at me,” [her brother, Erik] said. (Read more from “Bear Attacks Woman From “Toilet” in Alaska Outhouse” HERE)

Sen. Sullivan Won’t Reveal Stance on Pro-Abortion Equality Act That Writes Transgenderism Into Civil Rights Law

/0 Comments/in , /by

By AlaskaWatchman.com

Sen. Dan Sullivan is emailing a boilerplate response to those who are concerned about how he might vote on the Equality Act – a bill that would destroy women-only sports, trample religious freedoms and threaten pro-life laws.

Sullivan’s standardized letter begins by thanking constituents for contacting him regarding the Equality Act.

“I appreciate your thoughts on this issue and welcome the opportunity to respond,” he states. He then notes that the Equality Act would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include sexual orientation and gender identity among protected legal classes.

Sullivan’s letter does not go into any detail about the Equality Act and makes no mention of the fact that the legislation would mark the end of female-only sports by allowing males who identify as females to compete with women. His letter also ignores threats to both religious liberties and pro-life laws, which numerous critics of the Equality Act have raised.

The Equality Act would require businesses to officially recognize gender identities and sexual orientations and would ban opposite-sex locker rooms and restrooms.

Instead, Sullivan takes time to praise the June 15, 2020, Supreme Court ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County in which the high court redefined the meaning of biological sex for the purposes of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Rather than affirm the plain meaning of sex (males and females) the court ruled that the term can now refer to sexual orientation or transgender status.

“The principle this decision focused on is one I have long agreed with – that Americans shouldn’t be able to be fired from a job simply because of their religion, race, or sexual orientation,” Sullivan states. “I am committed to the principle of non-discrimination and enforcement of laws providing equality for all Americans.”

If the Equality Act does pass out of the Senate and President Biden signs it into law – as he has promised to do – it would mandate that Americans accommodate and facilitate behavior and events associated with the LGBTQ movement in private establishments, business, health care, entertainment and many other areas. Furthermore, the Equality Act would require businesses with more than 15 employees to affirm and officially recognize gender identities and sexual orientations and would ban opposite-sex locker rooms and restrooms.

Sullivan concludes his standardized letter by acknowledging that the Senate may soon consider the measure.

“I will keep your thoughts in mind should H.R. 5 (Equality Act) reach the Senate floor for a vote,” he writes.

Sullivan regularly touted his pro-life credentials on the campaign trail last year, but both pro-abortion and pro-life advocates note that the language of the Equality Act could easily be used to expand abortion across the nation. It would amend the Civil Rights Act by negating any language that currently allows Congress to withhold federal funding for abortions. The bill could also be used to force healthcare professionals to facilitate abortion on demand, even against their conscience.

Last month, the Equality Act narrowly passed in the House where Rep. Don Young was one of just two representative who refused to vote either way on the measure.

The Watchman has asked Sullivan to clarify his position on the Equality Act. So far, the only response has been to email his boilerplate letter.

Donald Trump Vows to Campaign in Alaska Against Lisa Murkowski; Where Murkowski Is in Polls

/6 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Former President Donald Trump said Saturday he would campaign against Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) in 2022 when she is due for reelection.

“I will not be endorsing, under any circumstances, the failed candidate from the great State of Alaska, Lisa Murkowski,” Trump said in a statement Politico first reported.

“She represents her state badly and her country even worse. I do not know where other people will be next year, but I know where I will be — in Alaska campaigning against a disloyal and very bad Senator,” Trump continued.

Trump also pledged to campaign against Murkowski in a series of tweets in June 2020.

Murkowski was one of seven GOP senators who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial in January and is the only one going up against voters next year. (Read more from “Donald Trump Vows to Campaign in Alaska Against Lisa Murkowski” HERE)

Where Lisa Murkowski Is in Polls as Trump Vows to Campaign Against ‘Disloyal’ GOP Senator

By Newsweek. . .On Saturday, Trump’s team released a recent poll that they commissioned on Murkowski to support their efforts to oust her. Conducted between January 30 and February 1, the McLaughlin and Associates poll found the ex-president’s Alaska favorability rating at 52 percent—nine points higher than Murkowski’s 43 percent.

Murkowski is the 86th most popular Republican in Congress, with 13 percent sharing a positive opinion, 23 percent sharing a negative opinion and 19 percent sharing a neutral opinion of the senator, according to a December 2020 YouGov poll. She is most popular among Millennials and Generation X, and is more popular among men than women.

A publicly funded poll of 1,081 Alaska voters, conducted by Public Policy Polling in June, showed Murkowski with an approval rating of just 29 percent and a disapproval rating of 55 percent. While Trump’s approval rating in the state sat at 46 percent and disapproval rating 49 percent. . .

However in late 2019, Murkowski was voted among the five least popular senators, along with Collins of Maine, who also voted for Trump’s conviction and is considered one of his opponents in the party, according to Morning Consult.

Mike Lindell’s Video “Absolute Proof” Released, Proves Biden Fraud, Shows How Murkowski has Stolen Alaskan Elections Repeatedly

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

For the past 10 years, Restoring Liberty has been relentlessly reminding readers of the dangers of electronic voting, something that Alaska uses statewide, like most other states. Although voters fill out a paper ballot in the voting booth, that ballot is then scanned and converted to an electronic vote. As Joe Miller discovered in 2010, if you request a recount, that recount is also conducted by scanning ballots and converting them again to electronic votes.

Mike Lindell has been hot on the issues of election fraud since the huge vote integrity issues that began to arise after polling places closed nationwide on November 3, 2020. He compiled this excellent, informational video explaining the manipulation of the presidential vote that resulted in Biden’s illegitimate presidency:

Starting at 48:50, Mike Lindell also interviews Dr. Shiva, a candidate for U.S. Senate himself in 2020, who explains how the vote was cheated in his state. Vote counts in manipulated precincts had very little variance in the percentage vote for him versus the percentage vote for his opponent (40/60) while hand count precincts had wildly different results (55/45). This is a mirror image of how the Establishment rigged the races for Alaska’s illegitimate Senator Lisa Murkowski, where both in 2010 and 2016, the vote remained constant, within 1 percentage point throughout the entire night of returns despite the very politically-disparate regions throughout Alaska (native regions vs. interior vs. Anchorage vs. Southeast).

Why is this important? Without vote integrity, we have tyranny and ultimately the dissolution of the Republic.
