Recent passage of the Democrat-endorsed $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Bill appears to be viewed by Alaska’s congressional delegation as something beneficial to America.

All six of the hard-left Communist “squad,” AOC, Omar, Talib and the others, voted against the bill, because it was not quite as sweeping as what President Biden had promised.

The inflation that ensues from this excessive spending bill, however, will be like a gas fire, burning hot and destructive, and insuring there is no recovery, while encumbering future generations with debt and slavery.

Why did Alaska’s Republican delegation buckle at a time when Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Biden were on the proverbial ropes, without hope of victory?

Had the infrastructure bill failed, the rest of his term was going to be very adversarial given his plummeting support. He was down to 38% approval.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s support for Biden was a given, she’s a RINO. Her challenger, Kelly Tshibaka, is our hope of ending her reign. But what were Sen. Dan Sullivan and Rep. Don Young thinking?

The Congressional Budget Office had yet to produce a report estimating the impact of this bill on the economy and the American people. It was passed without any idea of what it will really cost.

In the lead up to the vote, Speaker of the House Pelosi failed repeatedly to gain enough support to pass Biden’s coup de grâce to the Republic which is contained in his larger agenda. The president was frustrated, and expressed this by going to Congress to speak with Democrats in the House several times before the vote. His and Pelosi’s failure to coalesce the Democratic majority to support this agenda showed how fractured the party has become.

Add to this the Nov. 2 Republican surge in Virginia’s election and elsewhere, and Dems in Congress saw all too clearly the possibly disastrous outcomes looming in the 2022 midterms. That unease meant the House majority was no longer at the beck and call of Speaker Pelosi.

Republicans gave the compromised beast succor and new strength. Fools.

As the clock wound down on this session of Congress, the proverbial blood was on the ground. Biden grew weaker with each failure and each new poll. Had the infrastructure bill failed, the rest of his term was going to be very adversarial given his plummeting support. He was down to 38% approval.

Such a failure also would have ended Pelosi’s political career and sidelined her before 2022.

So where were the Republican wolves who should have harried and tired the wounded Democratic hyena that is the Biden administration? The beast was screaming in frustration and anger at its failures – mortally wounded. Instead of finishing the job, 32 Republicans gave the compromised beast succor and new strength. Fools.

Biden and Pelosi were in disarray, unable to move their Communist death-to-America agenda forward and the 2022 election was on the horizon, when Republicans could retake control of the House and Senate.

Then came the saving grace – 13 Republicans in the House and 19 in the Senate, who voted to save Biden’s agenda and the Speaker’s reputation instead of ending this absurd mockery of an American presidential administration and its Communist House. Rep. Don Young and Sen. Dan Sullivan chose to continue the Biden-Pelosi reign of incompetence and terror. Their votes have now breathed new life into the Democrat hyena, giving it new energy to push the truly Communist-inspired second half of the bill which is on hold until the Congressional Budget Office issues its report.

Our great grandkids will despise us for allowing the misery that will pass down to them from our failure to prevent this scheme.

The $4.9 billion allegedly slated for Alaska won’t even be allocated until the start of the 2022 fiscal year anyway. What was so pressing that Young and Sullivan had to save Pelosi and Biden from defeat? A new Congress will be sworn in, January of 2023, and a much better bill could have come out of a Republican controlled House and Senate.

We must demand accountability from our congressional delegation. The 2022 midterms are the first opportunity. Kelly Tshibaka is challenging RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski and Rep. Don Young has two challengers.

MAGA, America First!

  • Penny Seliger says:

    As far as I am concerned all three WILL NOT have my vote! They are out of touch with the people of Alaska.

  • Common Peasant says:

    Our world is run my vampires. Not just a fairy tale.

    If you really knew what these people do, you would not follow them.

  • Steve P Peterson says:

    They are treasonous indeed. They have sold a birthright for a bowl of pottage and God’s judgement be upon them.

  • steve says:

    Their reign will continue until we get rid of Rank Choice Voting and Dominion.

    • john otness says:

      Amen…… all politicians are complicit until they come out and keep their oaths by condemning Rank choice which was instituted by dominion… There are a lot of communists in Alaska but not that many as to pass that crap.

    • Proud Alaskan says:

      Agree

  • Dee Cee says:

    I agree with the dismay expressed in this article. Truthfully, I wasn’t aware that Sully voted to pass this. I already read Young’s empty and buzz-word loaded, platitudinous explanation “There’s a lot of money in it for Alaska.” But I’m curious what excuse Sully has for his bizarre participation in this doonboggle.

  • Greg in Homer says:

    You ask why? Judas Iscariot’s 30 pieces of silver come to mind as an explanation.

  • Ralph says:

    Your votes do not matter.
    The swamp has control… the only thing they understand is physical and in their face.
    -What ever happened to tarring and feathering these types of deplorables?

  • Star of the North says:

    I so wish they had NOT voted to pass it. It is beyond despicable.. The current regime needs to go down.

  • LDW says:

    There are allegations that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was handing out money for yea votes. Young allegedly received $2,500 for being a good boy, cheap vote, because others in Congress received much more.

  • jh says:

    The House of Representatives on late Friday passed the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill with 13 Republicans joining most Democrats in voting to send the bill to President Joe Biden’s desk.
    Here’s a list of the 13 House Republicans who voted yes with the democrats:
    • Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska
    • Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania

    Let’s fix the problem in Washington D.C. with term limits, and not just the office holders, but the staffers as well.

  • jh says:

    The “Build Back Better” reconciliation legislation is a bill that transforms the role of the state in every aspect of an individual’s life, while expanding key Democratic priorities like amnesty, abortion, cheap foreign labor, a dysfunctional health care system, and invasions of financial privacy.
    The consideration of the bill in the House wasn’t made possible by the Democrats in the majority, but by THE 13 House Republicans THAT VOTED FOR IT.
    • A 10-year amnesty for illegal immigrants, which includes work permits and driver’s licenses and cannot be undone by future administrations for a decade.

    • Provides millions of dollars in funding for the IRS to enforce the Biden administration’s plan to review every bank account with $10,000 or more.
    • Expands and shores up provisions of Obamacare.
    • Eliminates the statutory cap on employment visas, effectively allowing Big Tech companies and other mega-corporations to prioritize hiring foreign workers over American workers.
    • Facilitates enforcement of Biden’s vaccine mandate by increasing OSHA penalties on businesses up to $700,000 per violation and provides billions in funding for the Department of Labor to increase enforcement.
    • Mandates taxpayer coverage of abortion, leaving the long-agreed upon Hyde amendment out of the bill.
    • Provides half a trillion dollars in climate spending, including clean energy tax credits to subsidize solar, electric vehicles, and clean energy production, as well as federal spending on clean energy technology and manufacturing, all while limiting domestic energy production, thereby increasing dependence on Russia and China. BIDEN’S NATURAL GAS POLICY IS ONE, BIG, LONG FART!!!

    • Provides roughly $400 billion for expanded government childcare and universal pre-K, which pumps millions into failed Head Start programs, excludes support for families who prefer at-home child-care arrangements, and by requiring that preschool teachers have a college degree, will reduce the availability of child-care options.

    • A host of new taxes, and a giant tax cut for the rich: by including a repeal on the cap for the state and local tax deduction, Democrats will provide a $30 billion net direct tax cut for the top 5 percent of earners, largely in blue states where the state and local taxes are much higher.

  • Jon and Ruth Ewig says:

    We were very disappointed. We expected our delegation of supposed Republican conservative patriots to help. All three were bought. They demonstrated that they do not honor God and what He did for all of us. These are all atheists and responded accordingly. There is no fear of the Lord in these actions.

  • Linda says:

    Perhaps it’s time for the Alaska Republican Party to censure Sullivan and Young. They do not represent Alaska Republican values anymore! Apparently they would rather ‘kiss ass’ than stand for Alaska!
