DISASTER in ALASKA’S ELECTION due to RANKED CHOICE VOTING, Sarah PALIN being THE SPOILER in the congressional race (fully knowing her negatives were too high), and in the senate race: $7 MILLION in LYING CAMPAIGN ADS from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell TO DEMONIZE KELLY TSHIBAKA to get establishment RINO Lisa Murkowski back in.
There was also name confusion again in the senate race. Many voted for Buzz *Kelley* again, thinking they were voting for *Kelly* Tshibaka. Kelly Tshibaka’s signs only said “KELLY” for much of the election, because her last name is so difficult. Buzz Kelley only got in the final four because of the name similarity, and then refused to drop out in time.
Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell *continually* aired ads saying false things about Kelly Tshibaka, which Kelly never refuted in her ads. So McConnell successfully smeared her name, which frustrated me! There must have been a way to clear her name.
The Anchorage Daily News is hard left, and our only TV news station is left. The day before the election, KTUU showed Sarah Palin speaking in a rare appearance, but not Nick Begich. They were pushing Sarah, because as long as she came in second, the Republicans couldn’t beat Democrat Mary Peltola, because of Sarah’s high negatives.
Suzanne Downing writes: “There is still a snowball’s chance that Palin or Begich could pull off a Thanksgiving miracle, when the ranked choice race results get reshuffled, and when Libertarian Chris Bye is eliminated, with his voters’ getting to have their second choice counted.”
Had Nick come in second, he almost certainly would have won. Sarah has serious character issues. She entered the race at the last minute, thinking she could win on name recognition alone. She hardly campaigned at all. Didn’t meet and greet, because she can’t face the people face to face because she can’t tell the truth about her horrible track record. She hates the job, but loves the limelight.
Had Sarah not entered the race, Nick Begich would be our US representative next year, instead of Peltola, who ran ads claiming that abortion is “freedom” and “family.” She’ll vote with Biden on probably everything. Lisa Murkowski votes with Biden on almost everything, and even campaigned with Peltola; though, Lisa still runs as a republican.
So many people are gullible because the lies are so prevalent, and the pastors won’t speak up, probably largely because they don’t want to pay taxes (so they’re muzzled by the 501(c)3 tax exempt status) — and because most are not abiding in Christ, so they don’t bear fruit — aren’t attached to the Vine.
The solution to this all is real Christianity, which may require rendering to Caesar what is Caesar’s, as Jesus said, so we can be free!

Red wave washes through Florida, fades in the heartland, and barely reaches Alaska
By Suzanne Downing
Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a less-than-reliable Republican, is paddling back to Washington to rejoin that McConnell minority, thanks to Alaska’s open primary and ranked choice voting that set her up to fend off challenges from both the right and left. Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell pulled her to an almost certain victory with his $7 million spend. …
Now to the House: Rep. Peltola, a member of the party with a small fraction of registered Alaska voters, is poised to win with second-round votes from Sarah Palin and Nick Begich. There is still a snowball’s chance that Palin or Begich could pull off a Thanksgiving miracle, when the ranked choice race results get reshuffled, and when Libertarian Chris Bye is eliminated, with his voters’ getting to have their second choice counted. …
