In a third-quarter 2023 poll published by YouGov.com, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger came out on top as the most popular Republican in America.
The poll measured both the fame of the Republican’s name, and the person’s popularity. In the fame category, Schwarzenegger was a 95 out of 100. In popularity, he ranked a 58. Following on his heels was former President Donald Trump, who also was a 95 in the fame category, and scored 42% in the popularity category.
Coming in third was former President George W. Bush, who scored 97% in the fame category, and 40% in the popularity category.
Ben Carson, the neurosurgeon who visited Anchorage last month, was fourth. He was 80% in the fame category and 40% in the popularity category.
Following up after Carson is the late Sen. Bob Dole, and then Sen. Ted Cruz, followed by Henry Kissinger, Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Tim Scott, and Sen. Rand Paul.
Sarah Palin, former governor and former vice presidential and congressional candidate, was 13th on the list.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski was 71st on the list. She and Palin were the only ones who were on the list of the most well-known and popular Republicans from Alaska. The last on the list is Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming, at 112. The entire list is at this link.

Rep. Jim Jordan is officially off the ballot for Republicans in the U.S. House, when it comes to nominating a speaker.
Although he is popular throughout the country, the House Republican conference voted to drop him as a nominee after he failed to get enough votes for the third time on the House floor on Friday. Rep. Mary Peltola of Alaska voted for radical Democrat Hakeem Jeffries.
Before Jordan, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise also failed to get enough votes, and was pushed aside in favor of Jordan.
Now, three others are eyeing the Republican nomination.
One of them, Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota, has strong ties to Alaska. He has not formally announced he will seek the role as Speaker, but is rumored to be making calls about it.
Emmer is a former chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee and is the current majority whip. He is considered the most likely frontrunner if he does decide to run, and he has former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s endorsement.
Emmer went to college at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, where he also played collegiate hockey. He graduated with a B.A. in political science and went on to earn his law degree from the William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minn.
After practicing law for several years, he opened his own law firm. The next 20 years were spent balancing family, business, coaching hockey, and serving on the city councils and in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
Emmer ran for governor of Minnesota and received an endorsement from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. He was beaten by Democrat Mark Dayton by less than one percentage points.
He still plays recreational hockey and recently led the “Lawmakers” team to a victory over the “Lobbyists” team in Washington, D.C., with three goals scored by Alaska’s own Truman Reed, who is a legislative aide on the Hill.
Also throwing their hats in the ring for Speaker are Oklahoma Rep. Kevin Hern and Louisiana’s Rep. Mike Johnson. Both Hern and Johnson are from resource development states and have strong pro-oil backgrounds. Both have fought against the Biden anti-American energy agenda.
“There’s another order coming from Hamas to kill the Jews. I happen to be Jewish, and I don’t want to be killed.”
That’s the succinct explanation Joshua, a doctor in Los Angeles, gave for why he decided to buy his first gun this week.
He’s far from alone. New owners and trainers alike described scenes of gun stores and safety classes full of Jewish Americans hoping to protect themselves from the kind of slaughter that played out on Oct. 7 when Hamas terrorists streamed over the border into Israel and ruthlessly slaughtered more than 1,400 men, women, and children.
“I was at a local gun store a couple of days ago, where my wife was doing her firearms training test, and it was full,” Joshua, who–like several others who spoke to The Reload for this story–did not want his real name revealed in large part due to safety concerns, said. “There was a line outside to get in for people to do their tests, or buy firearms, or practice on the range. And I would say it was 90% Jewish people and Israelis.”
U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan and other senators arrived in Saudi Arabia Friday as part of a larger trip to the Middle East, meant to show solidarity and support for Israel and speak with officials regarding current political affairs and ensure stability and security in the region.
The United States and Saudi Arabia have a common interest in preserving the stability, security, and prosperity of the Gulf region and consult closely on a wide range of regional and global issues, his office said. Saudi Arabia plays an important role in working toward a peaceful and prosperous future for the region, he said.
Members of the bipartisan delegation include U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut), Cory Booker (D-New Jersey), Katie Britt (R-Alabama), Ben Cardin (D-Maryland), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Chris Coons (D-Delaware), Jack Reed (D-Rhode Island), and John Thune (R-South Dakota).
Sullivan is a strong supporter of Israel and has advocated for increased conversation with the United States’ Middle Eastern allies to prevent the worsening of the conflict, especially in regards to the role Iran played in the devastating Hamas terror attacks earlier this month.
In a recent appearance on The Fox News Rundown Podcast, Sullivan emphasized the Biden Administration’s dangerous appeasement of Iran and called for freezing $6 billion in Iranian assets and immediate action by the administration in the form of stronger sanction enforcement.
The State of Alaska has opened up a grant application period for individuals and organizations who raise livestock in Alaska (both small and large animals) who have been impacted by the significant increase in livestock feed costs, including the reduced availability of local hay and grain.
More than $570,000 in funding is available through a special round of the Micro-Grants for Food Security Program, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered by the State of Alaska’s Division of Agriculture.
DNR is targeting this competitive grant opportunity at Alaskans who raise animals to feed their families and local communities, and who are struggling with Alaska’s significant increase in livestock feed costs over the past year. This grant is tailored to especially help the individual livestock owner.
“My administration continues to focus on advancing food security across the state, and this program ensures livestock farmers can keep raising animals in Alaska,” Gov. Mike Dunleavy said.
The grant application period opened Monday and closes at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 15.
Applicants must meet eligibility requirements and currently own livestock – the grants are for existing operations and may not be used for new animals. Fixed awards will be granted to purchase feed for:
Small animal operations (poultry, eggs, rabbits): $2,000
In yet another example of what we’ve dubbed “Club Fed” because of generous vacation, salary and other benefits in the agencies, the Department of Labor sent an email to employees outlining yet another perk of federal employment: three hours extra paid time off after early dismissal the Friday before ‘Indigenous Peoples’ Day.”
While employees are off for “Indigenous Peoples’ Day,” a holiday first recognized by President Joe Biden in 2021 — the same day as Columbus Day — they were able to start the long weekend early the Friday before, according to an internal email that OpenTheBooks.com auditors reviewed.
It will mean another $2.3 million in tax dollars gone to paid time off piled atop an already-hefty list of observed holidays.
Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su made the announcement in an email in which she laments “deplorable and harmful aspects of colonialism” related to the existence of the United States.
According to public disclosures, 14,712 Department of Labor employees had $1.6 billion in salaries for FY 2022, not including benefits (which typically amount to about 30% of salary) or bonuses.
That amounts to an average salary of $109,030 a year. Three additional hours of paid time off for the entire department staff amounts to $2.3 million of lost productivity or opportunity cost for U.S. taxpayers.
The perk extends to employees who telework, allowing them to log off three hours early.
The extra time is added to the 11 federal holidays that employees enjoy throughout the year, including eight hours for Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples’ Day. On average, federal workers also receive13 sick days and 20 vacation days per year. That’s 44 days of paid time off each year.
“Federal employees already receive generous salaries and time off versus the private sector, all furnished by taxpayers,” OpenTheBooks.com Founder & CEO Adam Andrzejewskisaid. But the benefits of Club Fed seem to keep growing. This new holiday perk from the Department of Labor follows news that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has approved 115 additional hours of paid vacation time for his employees.”

The Alaska Covid Alliance hit it out of the park this past weekend with its “Covid and Beyond Conference: The Establishment and You. Many of the physicians spoke of the spike protein and its effects on one’s health.
The spike protein comes either from the jab or Covid itself.
Do you have headaches you’ve never had before? Heart problems? Gastrointestinal problems? Brain fog? New aches and pains? Cognitive problems? Dizziness? Ear ringing?
Then you may be having symptoms of spike injury and not even know it. And unless you are going to a healthcare provider who understands how spike protein can negatively affect you, you may not be getting the treatment you need.
We all have seen pictures of the coronavirus with those little bumps of spike proteins sticking out of it.
There is an ACE2 that attaches to the membrane of the cell This enzyme is in 72 locations in the body to include the nose where the spike protein is known to invade our bodies. ACE2s are great at keeping our bodies in harmony—in regulating blood pressure, healing, and decreasing inflammation.
Like a key going into a lock, the Covid virus uses ACE2 to enter the cell and then hijacks the cell to make lots of copies of itself. Sadly, the coronavirus binds the very mechanism one needs to have a functioning heart, lungs, and other organs.
A covid infection can disrupt many of these bodily functions but so can the jabs.
One thing many people have experienced is Long Covid. The CDC defines Long Covid as symptoms that persist after having Covid for more than 28 days
What does Long Covid look like? More than 762 million people worldwide have had Covid. One- in-five to one-in-seven have symptoms beyond 12 weeks. Long Covid can affectmultiple body systems.
In an on-line international survey of 3,762 patients who had suffered Long Covid systems, the respondents averaged 55.9 symptoms across 9.1 organ systems.
92% had sensorimotor symptoms
89% had post-exertional tiredness (malaise)
88% had cognitive dysfunction (brain fog and others)
73% had POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) which leads to increased pulse and dizziness when going to a standing position)
In addition to Long Covid there is Long Vax. This study in the Science Journalconfirmed “vaccines” are linked to auto-immune disorders and neuropathy. People usually experience severe sharp or burning pain, with some sensory symptoms and no significant weakness in their body.
Additionally, there is abnormal clotting and heart inflammation with symptoms that resemble Long Covid.
Interestingly, by February 2021after Pfizer was forced to give up vaccine data. Pfizer had already received more than 1,200 reports of death thought to be caused by the vaccine. The company had also received thousands of reported adverse effects including 23 cases of spontaneous abortions out of 270 pregnancies and more than 2,000 reports of cardiac disorders. It would have seemed the ethical thing to do would have been to take the drug off the market and regroup.
A patient-led survey of people experiencing persistent neurological symptoms after Covid vaccination consisted of 508 participants who were suffering lasting neurological symptoms post-Covid vaccination. This survey focused on demographics, symptoms, and outlook. Neurological symptoms included burning/tingling (nerves), brain fog, dizziness, persistent headache, memory loss, difficulty with speech and paralysis. These neurological systems occurred up to 195 days after vaccination.
The bottom line to the study was active monitoring of vaccine safety is critical. There needs to be true patient informed consent—something that did not happen. The authors pushed for international health authorities to furtherinvestigate potential harms from the Covid vaccines.
More research is showing both long covid and long vax have the same side effects. So whether you got the jabs with no illness or got the disease or got both, you are eligible for long covid or long vax.
Now that you know what the symptoms are of Long Covid what do you do? Find a health care provider who is Covid-literate and open-minded regarding the adverse effects of both the jab and the disease.
The spike protein persists in the body. You should try to rid the body of the spike protein. Here is a possible detox protocol from Dr. Peter McCullough. It is for both Long Covid and Covid Vaccine Detox. In his presentation, Dr. McCullough stated you need to take these supplements for 3-12 months:
Nattokinase: 2000 FU (100 mg) twice daily
Bromelain: 500 mg once daily
Nano/Liposomal Curcumin: 500 mg twice daily
If you took the jab or had the disease, consider following a detox program. You can’t change the past—you can only prepare for the future.
Some of you will believe none of this is true because it did not come from the federal government. Yet there is much research that has been gaslighted that states it is.
Mark Twain said, “It’s easier to fool people than it is to convince them they’ve been fooled.”
Do your own research. Decide for yourself. And always consult with your health care provider because each one of us is unique. No, you can’t change the past but you can prepare for the future.

Oil fields are now using wind power as supplemental energy to extract petroleum. Doyon, Limited has installed two 100-kilowatt wind turbines on the Doyon Drilling pad in Deadhorse.
The turbines are intended to provide supplemental power to Doyon Drilling’s warehouse and will assist in offsetting their electricity usage.
Based on wind data history in the area, it estimates an average daily output of 1,440 kilowatt-hours from both wind turbines. This is estimated to be equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions from 100 gallons of diesel consumed, the Native-owned company said. It did not say how long it would take to recover the cost of the wind turbine and the installation, but it is a first in Alaska’s Arctic oil fields.
“This project is the first of its kind on the North Slope,” said Andrew J. Honea, Doyon Drilling President and General Manager. “I’m proud that Doyon Drilling is part of this monumental milestone.”
It’s wonderful to see this project come to life,” said Tanya Kaquatosh, Doyon, Limited Senior Vice President of Administration. “The wind turbine project is part of Doyon’s sustainability initiative and aligns directly with our corporate value of long-term sustainability.”
Going somewhere this winter? The U.S. State Department issued a rare travel warning to Americans who are venturing abroad. Americans, it seems, may be targets — more than usual.
“Due to increased tensions in various locations around the world, the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations or violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests, the Department of State advises U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution. U.S. citizens should:
There is cause for concern, especially for journalists traveling abroad. As many as 21 journalists have been killed in the conflict in Israel, it has been reported by The Guardiannewspaper. In Russia, authorities arrested an editor for Radio Fee Europe/Radio Liberty, which is a U.S. government-sponsored news outlet. The editor is accused of spying on the Russian military.
The last time the State Department issued a worldwide alert was after the death of al-Qaeda’s second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in August of 2022.
