Sarah Palin is throwing her support behind Tea Party favorite Joe Miller in the looming Republican primary for the Alaska Senate race.

The former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential nominee announced her support Friday in a written statement, provided to Fox News.

The statement said:

“To restore liberty, to defend our Constitution, to build American exceptionalism, we must send fighters to the U.S. Senate who will stop Barack Obama’s fundamental transformation of the nation we love. The status quo has got to go, and in Alaska the man who understands this key to our state and country’s future also has the guts, wisdom, experience and optimism to fight for what is right — and win.

“We said we’d send the good guys in Washington their reinforcements, so, Alaska, here we go! Vote for Joe Miller on Tuesday and shake off the liberal stronghold so we can get on the right track.”

Gov. Sarah PalinGovernor Sarah Palin Endorses Joe Miller for U.S. Senate

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin announced her endorsement of Joe Miller for U.S. Senate. On Fox News earlier today she said, “To restore liberty, to defend our Constitution, to build American exceptionalism, we must send fighters to the U.S. Senate who will stop Barack Obama’s fundamental transformation of the nation we love. The status quo has got to go, and in Alaska the man who understands this key to our state and country’s future also has the guts, wisdom, experience and optimism to fight for what is right — and win.

“We said we’d send the good guys in Washington their reinforcements, so, Alaska, here we go! Vote for Joe Miller on Tuesday and shake off the liberal stronghold so we can get on the right track.”

Miller responded to the endorsement, “I want to thank Governor Palin for backing my candidacy at this crucial time in the race. She, like many Alaskans, has looked at the the candidates vying for the Republican nomination, and recognized I am the candidate who will go to Washington, stand up to the DC Establishment, and fight to restore freedom to the people.”

Miller campaign spokesman Randy DeSoto added, “I believe one reason we are seeing such a groundswell of support and endorsements as the election nears is because of what Alaskans have seen during the debates. Joe’s opponents are hedging on issues like protecting the unborn (neither was willing to support Rand Paul’s Life at Conception Act in the debate last night), amnesty, climate change, whether Barack Obama has committed impeachable offenses, and the list goes on…”

Miller concluded, “I am proud to stand with Governor Palin in the fight for freedom.”

Kodiak Arms President W.P. Gentry has invented a technology that would restrict gun operation to authorized users only.

The company’s product is called “The Intelligun” and it uses a sensor on the handgrip of a pistol to identify fingerprints. Only those whose prints have been previously entered would be allowed to actually fire the gun.

Enter Attorney General Eric Holder, who invited Gentry to further discussions after meeting with multiple firearms manufacturers earlier this year.

Miller Wins Final Debate: Record 9-0

Joe Miller demonstrated again tonight why he is the best candidate to defeat Mark Begich, outshining his GOP rivals on the debate stage. He also stated in the final head-to-head matchup before Tuesday’s election, although he expects to win the Republican nomination, he will support whomever the nominee is in the cause of beating Mark Begich.

Miller, responding to a question put to all three candidates about supporting the winner, turned to Dan Sullivan and Mead Treadwell and said, “We must do everything we can to make sure Mark Begich is defeated. I believe I’m going to be the primary winner with the voters’ and God’s help. But if one of you two guys, I have never said this before, I will support you guys. I will. We’ve got to get rid of Begich, there is no question about it.”

Miller’s gesture of unanimity in the cause of defeating Begich to both his rivals came despite Mead Treadwell accusing Miller earlier in the debate of putting out a racist campaign piece regarding his opposition to amnesty. Miller found the charge preposterous pointing out he has no racial ill-will against illegal aliens, but believes our laws must be enforced. He pointed out his son-in-law, father of his first grandchild, is a Mexican national, while his siblings are married to immigrants from India and Indonesia. His daughter is a missionary in Mexico. Miller said, “Lawful immigration, great. We are a nation of diversity. ”

An important area of difference between the candidates centered on Rand Paul’s Life at Conception Act. While both Mead Treadwell and Dan Sullivan stated they support the right to life, neither was willing to offer support for Paul’s bill defining life (with legal protection) beginning at conception. Treadwell spoke of supporting legislation “that helps reduce the number of abortions,” while Sullivan said we should support legislation that “makes the number of abortions less.” Sullivan added that Paul’s statute seems to “try to change the Constitution.” Miller responded, “Unequivocally yes…The Life at Conception Act establishes something I believe is foundational. If we as a country decide we are not going to defend the most defenseless. If we decide the most defenseless lives can be taken. What other rights can government take?” Miller pointed out he is the only candidate endorsed by Alaska Right to Life.

“Joe had another great debate,” said spokesman Randy DeSoto. “He is rising in the recent polls and picking up a string of endorsements in the days leading up to Tuesday’s election including from the Alaska Veterans Party, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and the Anchorage Tea Party (“ATP”) just announced its endorsement. The group stated though ‘all three Republican candidates are saying things we want to hear, ATP believes that Joe Miller is the only one who can be trusted to take action consistent with his promises.’ With the support grassroots Alaskans, we believe Joe will be the candidate chosen to take on and defeat Mark Begich.”

Former Florida Rep. Allen West declared President Obama an Islamist who is intentionally working against the security of the United States.

“The only plausible explanation for many actions taken by President Obama and his administration is that they are working counter to the security of the United States of America,” the former Florida congressman and retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel wrote in the post published Wednesday.

Among six example he gives to back up his point is Obama’s decision to release of five Taliban in exchange for Sgt. Bergdahl in May, providing weapons of support to the Egyptian government led by the Muslim Brotherhood, and negotiating with Hamas.

By Katie Pavlich.

Earlier this year a report from the Center for Immigration Studies showed the Obama administration released 68,000 criminal illegal aliens onto the streets of the United States. Many of those released have criminal records of armed robbery, assault, rape and homicide.

-In 2013, ICE targeted only 195,000, or 25 percent, out of 722,000 potentially deportable aliens they encountered. Most of these aliens came to ICE’s attention after incarceration for a local arrest.

-ICE released 68,000 criminal aliens in 2013, or 35 percent of the criminal aliens encountered by officers. The vast majority of these releases occurred because of the Obama administration’s prosecutorial discretion policies, not because the aliens were not deportable.

-ICE targeted 28 percent fewer aliens for deportation from the interior in 2013 than in 2012, despite sustained high numbers of encounters in the Criminal Alien and Secure Communities programs.

– Every ICE field office but one reported a decline in interior enforcement activity, with the largest decline in the Atlanta field office, which covers Georgia and the Carolinas.

The Federal Government Bought A Border Fence…For A Country Nearly 6,000 Miles Away

By Justen Charters.

In April, U.S. policymakers authorized a Crisis Support Package for Ukraine. While the White House had previously released information on what the package would cover, it wasn’t until Thursday that the government published a report detailing how the U.S. would help fund a project for a border fence to help separate Ukraine and Crimea.

Intel Official: ISIS ‘Sees Conflict With The US As Inevitable’

By Jamie Weinstein.

An intelligence official warned Thursday that the terrorist group the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria “sees conflict with the U.S. as inevitable,” The Washington Post’s David Ignatius reported in his latest column.

The columnist, known for his extensive sourcing in the intelligence community, summarized an intelligence briefing he attended:

In a briefing for journalists Thursday, a panel of five U.S. intelligence officials summed up their assessment of an organization that has shown a remarkable durability because it is “patient,” “well-organized,” “opportunistic” and “flexible.” Under the leadership of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group has rebounded from about 1,500 fighters in 2010 to more than 10,000 today — becoming a global jihadist organization that communicates in many languages.

“We don’t assess this as something that will collapse on its own,” said one of the officials, who commented based on an agreement that their remarks would not be attributed. “But with pressure and alternatives [that might draw away its Sunni supporters], it could collapse over time.” The intelligence experts cautioned that counterterrorist tools, such as drone strikes and other air attacks, wouldn’t be sufficient “to defeat it rather than just ratchet it back.”

US conducts new airstrikes as ISIS kills dozens of Yazidis in Iraq town, officials say

By Fox News.

The U.S. military conducted new airstrikes against Islamic militants Friday as sources tell Fox News members of the group killed at least 90 male members of Iraq’s Yazidi minority in a northern village and kidnapped “dozens” of women and children.

A senior U.S. defense official told Fox News that U.S. surveillance drones saw evidence of the massacre of dozens of Yazidi men. The U.S. military later struck two militant targets, killing some of those involved in the killings, the source said.

The U.S. military said in a statement Friday that the U.S. forces conducted the airstrikes on Islamic State vehicles in the village of Kawju. The village is located south of the village of Sinjar.

The Yazidis, a Kurdish-speaking ethnic and religious group which numbers in the hundreds of thousands in Iraq, has been persecuted in the north by Islamic State militants, with at least 500 killed prior to Friday’s news, according to Iraq’s human rights minister.

Sources told Fox News it appears residents in the village did not comply with the militants’ demands to convert to Islam.

Document: Homeland Security Predicts Rise of 'Anti-Government' Violence

A leaked document from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis predicts increased “anti-government violence over the next year.” The document says the inspiration for violence is Cliven Bundy’s Bunkerville standoff with the Bureau of Land Management from earlier in the year.

DHS’s seven-page report entitled Domestic Violent Extremists Pose a Threat to Government Officials and Law Enforcement points to the recent murders of two Las Vegas law enforcement officers as evidence that there is a “growing trend of anti-government violence compared to the previous four years and inspired by perceived government overreach and oppression” and the “perceived victory at Bunkervile” will “likely prompt more violence.”

Bundy’s 20-year legal dispute with the BLM over grazing fees on federal land escalated when the agency attempted to seize his cattle in the beginning of April. An armed stand off between the BLM and supporters of Bundy ensued until the feds backed off before any serious violence erupted and left the 67-year-old rancher’s land.

Treadwell, Sullivan Silent on Pledge to End Foreign Aid for Countries that Encourage Illegal Immigration to the United States

/2 Comments/in , /by

Memorial Day 13Today, Joe Miller sounded off about both his opponents’ rejection to make a pledge relating to the illegal immigration crisis.

Miller volunteers delivered the pledge on Wednesday night, but neither Mead Treadwell, nor Dan Sullivan has yet responded. The pledge called for an end to foreign aid for countries that encourage their citizens to immigrate to the United States in violation of our laws.

“I think this is a common sense step that we should be able to agree on,” said Miller. “I’m baffled that this is a hard decision for my opponents. Any country that is receiving foreign aid from the United States should, at the very least, return that good faith with basic respect for our laws and institutions.”

Mead Treadwell and Dan Sullivan previously rejected pledges to oppose amnesty and end federal benefits for illegal aliens.

WATCH: Minister Who Called Out Black Community Following Ferguson Riots Has a Message for Al Sharpton

/12 Comments/in , /by

0On Tuesday, Johnathan Gentry became an Internet sensation when he went on rant against the black community following the riots in Ferguson, Missouri, and the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown. Friday, he doubled down in a passionate appearance on Fox News, calling out everyone from President Obama to the NAACP and Al Sharpton.

“I hate to say this, but I’m going to tell you what you need to hear as opposed to what you want to hear!” Gentry, identified by Fox as a minister and who is based in Los Angeles, said earlier in the week. “All we know how to do is blame the police and white folks for our actions. That’s all we know how to do is blame police and white folks.”

“‘They mistreating us,’” he added in a mocking voice. “‘They beating on us. Oh slavery still exists. Oh oh.’ I’m sick of it!”

Watch the original six-minute rant:

On Friday, he picked up right where he left off, turning his attention to Al Sharpton and others after he was asked about them.

Obamacare head Marilyn Tavenner told a top press official to delete an e-mail related to HealthCare.gov during the botched launch, according to documents released Friday.

House Republicans are seeking emails from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services officials to discover exactly how Obamacare and HealthCare.gov’s rollout went so wrong. But it turns out that last October, Tavenner directly told CMS’s communications director, Julie Bataille, to delete an email chain with White House officials about HealthCare.gov and contractor Serco.

“Please delete this email-but please see if we can work on call script,” Tavenner wrote to Bataille, upon receiving an email chain which discussed talking points on getting through the then-nonfunctional Obamacare website and the efforts of Obamacare contractor Serco.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee wrote to Tavenner Friday asking why Tavenner directed Bataille to delete the emails and whether she had directed any HHS or CMS staff to delete any other communications or documents about HealthCare.gov.

Turns Out HealthCare.gov Really Is Full Of Nonsense

It may be the least of HealthCare.gov’s many, many problems, but the Obamacare website still features web pages full of nonsense filler language.

The Weekly Standard located a series of pages on HealthCare.gov that feature ‘Lorem ipsum’ text, a dummy language used by graphic designers to hold a place until the information is ready.

The website’s instructions on “How to appeal a Marketplace decision, directions for immigrants and, most ironically, “Why Health Coverage is Important” are filled with “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…” instead of any information on getting health coverage.
