These individuals each bring unique skills, experience, and knowledge to the table, which will help us better serve the unique needs, challenges, and opportunities that we face in our state. I look forward to all the good work we have ahead and benefits it will bring Alaska,” Murkowski said.
Surely RINOs, one and all.

Anyone who would chose to work under this unprincipled, self-serving political opportunist must almost certainly be as beholden to the deep state power structure, and globalist agenda, as Princess Lisa is. She has certainly long forgotten, and repudiated, the interests of Alaska, or even of the USA.
Gosh. In jest, I was going to say the same thing! Jefferson, you drop boxcars of accusations on someone because of the slightest insult to your ideology. You get triggered and hurt so easily. If a leftist praised Monarch butterflies, you’d condemn him cuz the colors black and orange are clearly part of the woke agenda. Butterflies are teaching weakness and flitting behavior is very much like drag queens.
Your failure to employ reason is your weakness Jefferson sweetie. You write well tho.
No, Lucinda, you accuse me of exaggeration only because so many in our society today, such as you, grossly UNDERexaggerate the degree of insults, propaganda, gaslighting and stripping of our remaining freedoms heaped on us by the power-mad ruling class and totalitarian globalist sociopaths (I refuse to call the “elite”, as they are not). I simply refuse to sugar-coat or moderate my discussion, or moderate my condemnation of the rapidly accelerating downward trends in our contemporary society, as we are long past the point where being ‘nice’, and politely hiding the full extent of the political and social degradation, has any relevance or effect.
.
But thank you for the compliment on my writing, even with your disapproval of my sometimes multiple and sequential use of adjectives and commas. If you think I am bad in that regard, though, have you ever read any writing by the well-educated in the 17th or 18th centuries? Just read the Declaration of Independence! The complexity of language, and thought, inherent in it is far beyond seen today. Editors of anyone writing like that nowadays would go ballistic! But actually, that is essentially just another condemnation of our society, and the level of education, today.
Excellent comment. I agree with everything in it, including your, (I do to), refusal to call the ruling class etc. etc. elites. Your description is apt, and I have a few additions; not even cuss words!
Lucinda:
You are EXACTLY everything you accuse Jefferson of. The Democrat’s way. You define yourself perfectly. You need a new brain.
You stated the facts well.
Lucinda needs too get a life and stop putting Patriots down all the time. I find her words condescending and hateful.
She seems too be very miserable. Someone who needs pity.
Swamp scum adding some more toads to her pond
Conrad, you made me literally laugh out loud!
Excellent and on-point!
Lisa Murkowski promotes the murder of sweet little babies. What’s not to hate about her? And just why won’t her staff answer the phone anymore, what are they afraid of?
None of them answer their phones, they are afraid of US, we the people they choose to MISrepresent.
Try any of the politicians, with the exception of several true republicans, none of them return phone calls, emails, or snail mail. They know they are doing wrong and cannot and will not face us. I dont know how they can even look into a mirror…. Fugazzi politicians treating us like serfs, get used to it if you keep electing them and dont work to get rid of them and their rcv crap. Princess Lisa, resign already you fake fraud commie.
Molly, I think you are spot-on regarding the refusal of these corrupt, and corrupting, politicians to answer their constituents’ well-justified complaints and challenges to their abuses of power.
.
I will note that the letter that I recently posted here on MRAK (in another thread), strongly criticizing Kelly Merrick and her RINO cohort in the state legislature for teaming up with far-left Democrats, rather than working with their conservative Republican colleagues in an EXISTING majority, received no response from Kelly Merrick. Nor did I realistically expect any response — because wrong-doers and sociopaths are, at their core, all cowards, realizing at some psychological level that they are wrong and/or evil.
If Princess really wants to bring benefits to Alaska, resign.
As if someone labeled “The Masked Avenger” might have a clue to what would “bring benefits to Alaska!”
When did Lisa pee in your porridge?
Not only will she not resign she will run again in 6 years and win., with Sullivan, she’s Alaska’s double barrel shotgun 😉
Thank you Mike Porcaro for making this possible. RVC is a curse we may never be rid of.
Ah, I see the State Department has implanted a political Commissar on Murkowski’s staff to keep her toeing the Uniparty line!
Hats off to “the masked avenger”
…. as usual.
Why does Lisa need such a large staff? She does nothing but hand out her Uncle Joe’s funny money then pat herself on the back for all the “hard work” she’s done. She needs to put that capital “D” behind her name.
Maybe she’s upset about someone who came to her office about Ukraine. Office staff said she was busy. People are dying. But. Hey. Who cares? Welp. That visitor went over her blonde hair and notified the global powers. Aw. No more money.
Seizing assets isn’t working well for you is it? Better change up that crew now. Hurry. Hurry.
What concerns me the most is that she and the other were sent represent us. Not DC think tanks or special interests but us, Alaskans. Of the names above how many are Alaskans? No offense to Bruce, Songer, Nyugen, and Stuvland but what experience do they have living, working and raising a family in Alaska? Do they understand first hand the epa limitations on wood stoves in fbks and the cost of heating oil? Have they had to work on substandard Arctic grade combat equipment at -20? Alaska does not require State Department experience, we need Alaska centric experience reflected in Washington.
That would be like actually supporting Alaska interests. She is not allowed to help, her job is to hinder and funnel that fake money to other fakers, now called her staff. Funnelling our money to influence peddle and sell us out, thats what lisa does best.
Don’t you have to an infant to babysit?
If you know Muskowski, you know few can stand being around her very long. She needs a fresh crew regularly to sling her communist / socialist agenda. Once the crew finally discovers they are actually working for foreign governments they begin abandon ship and the cycle continues.
What can go wrong with Robert the Bruce. If your unsure… watch Braveheart.
