Sarah Palin: Russia Wins While America Sits On Its Ass (pardon my Великорусский язык)

Russia just built and employed icebreakers to control Northern passageways while busily flagging life-sustaining resource-rich underseas acreage, with zero pushback from the U.S

In laymen’s terms, The Great Bear seized on America’s weak “uni-party” that controls our government, and watched our politicians go along to get along with Obama’s agenda built on disdain for an “all of the above” energy plan, a nonchalant attitude about bankrupting our government, and overall ignorance about purpose of national borders.

Way to go Democrats. And capitulating Republicans.

The uni-party was amply warned by average Americans for eight years. We said we must secure borders – including up North via controlling transportation corridors that Russia wants. I said we must plant the flag to claim our underseas resources, we have to explore, and we must drill, baby.

Despite the ridicule, we kept up the chant until finally ousting shortsighted politicians who heretofore fooled voters into believing they, in self-preservation mode, had our interests at heart.

We knew of which we spoke.

We watched other nations innovate and build infrastructure – and lay claim to the Arctic – whilst our leaders slept. Our pleas for leadership’s great awakening were ignored, or at best, mocked. As more and more land got locked up, we got locked out of opportunity to safely develop God-given natural resources for mankind’s responsible use.

Why do you think Pres. Abe Lincoln’s cabinet purchased Alaska from Russia? Because they were paying attention. Secretary of State William Seward was criticized and shunned for insisting this most northern region’s valuable resources and our strategic location on the globe would someday help secure the Union. But at only two-cents an acre for territory twice as big as Texas, Seward ignored humiliating media slander, confident the Arctic’s holdings fit Lincoln’s agenda to someday reunite the USA. Lincoln’s cabinet trumped Russia with the Alaska purchase.

But where are we today? Instead of shoring up necessities for security in a dangerous world, our government’s priorities wasted time, energy and money we don’t have. Instead of competing to win against The Great Bear, we poked it.

The Left’s suddenly convenient blame game against Russian President Putin has been to deflect from failure. America’s alpha male pack in charge is intimidated by Putin and instead of pulling up their mom jeans to better position us, they pivot to stir up fights for things like a grown man’s “right” to pee in a little girl’s bathroom.

Say what you will about Putin; I say I have respect for our neighbor, for you never have to guess on who’s side he is committed.

Without a doubt the Left’s failure set us back. But we still have the energy supplies, technology and workforce – all we lacked was the political will – so it’s not too late to reposition.

America’s security and sovereignty are at stake. That is why, when the starting gun goes off on January 20, a new race to the top of the world begins. For those of us who want peace and freedom more than anything else on earth, we know how to win it through strength. America can grow her muscle again built on energy and mineral deposits, year-round navigable waterways, the world’s most abundant sustainable fisheries, and so many more offerings of the North, many having been recognized by Lincoln’s team.

Alaska and the Arctic are enormously significant. Fittingly, The Last Frontier’s simple state flag is the literal illustration of where America can look for answers. On a field of blue, Alaska’s stars of gold point to The Great North Star. May new leaders look to it and realize it’s Creator can be our guiding light.

IIRC, Johnson was President at the time of the Purchase.

To the Best List on Free Republic!

Sarah has been reading F.R. again

"In laymen’s terms, The Great Bear seized on America’s weak “uni-party” that controls our government, and watched our politicians go along to get along with Obama’s agenda built on disdain for an “all of the above” energy plan, a nonchalant attitude about bankrupting our government, and overall ignorance about purpose of national borders."

[Little Ray]

All things considered, I think a win for Russia in Syria is a win for Western Civ in general.

[lee martell]

I think Sarah will be like Newt; overqualified for the Transition Team, but not by nature a follower or a’Team Player’, thus, left to advise from the media. This is similar to Buchanan’s status. It’s not so bad. At least we will hear from her more. I don’t want her going through any more grueling ‘Confirmation Hearings’ being questioned by hacks, robots and drones not worthy of even tying the strings on her Greek Sandals.

[heterosupremacist]

I love Sarah ~ I have been sending weekly marriage proposals for many years. ~

I never as of yet received a reply...

MAGA! Bring Sarah Palin into Trump’s Cabinet! :^)

[bigbob]

For only 29 more days...

[Sacajaweau]

Not the first time their ice breakers out performed others.

[dadfly]

right.

[TADSLOS]

Spot on. Vlad must have chronically sore abs from laughing so hard at Obama over the past eight years.

Big Mistake Not To Include Palin In Cabinet As She'd Be "Rogue" Voice Of Loyal Opposition

 

Governor Palin penned a vociferous attack on both the Obama administration and "capitulating Republicans" 

"Sarah Palin: Russia Wins While America Sits On It’s Ass (pardon my Великорусский язык)"

 

The issue in her article was:  

Russia just built and employed icebreakers to control Northern passageways while busily flagging life-sustaining resource-rich underseas acreage, with zero pushback from the U.S

 

In laymen’s terms, The Great Bear seized on America’s weak “uni-party” that controls our government, and watched our politicians go along to get along with Obama’s agenda built on disdain for an “all of the above” energy plan, a nonchalant attitude about bankrupting our government, and overall ignorance about purpose of national borders."

 

The wider point is that, once again and always, Governor Palin illustrates her independence, morality and principles above all else. 

 

At a time when surely any other prospective cabinet appointee would be either politically quiet, circumspect or frankly, lapdog sucking up Palin "goes rogue" and shows that she can not be bought or silenced. 

 

Nothing is more certain that Trump will have a political honeymoon period, not with the media of course but with the wider public. 

 

Even before he is taking office his "favorabilty" rating is rising and once he has settled into office and a degree of the campaign rancor has eased it would be expected he will be, initially, popular.

 

But unless the previous history of presidencies is yet another thing that Trump defies he will eventually find disfavor as some policy or other or event causes controversy. 

 

The media and Democratic party will of course lead the charge but their attacks can be beaten off as obviously partisan but remonstrations from Palin are not so easily disregarded given her reputation for ethics, principles and truth regardless of personal opportunities or favor.

 

If Palin were part of the administration this possible avenue of opposition would be closed to a large degree. 

 

That is not to say that Palin could be "muzzled" in any way but simply her sense of loyalty to the president and, if she had the VA position, her desire to stay in that role to assist with all her ability those who are in dire need of good governance.

 

Of course should there be an issue or event that was so calamitous to the well being of America that even the considerations of loyalty to president and charges even a cabinet role would not hold Palin back from "loyal opposition" I would venture with complete confidence.

 

I would also venture that not including Palin in a major cabinet role would be the first, and with possibly long term effect up to 2020, that the Trump administration could make.

Yep.

[KC_Lion]

Thank You Sweetest Onyx!

This is one of Sarah's best articles. So Spot on!

For the last 8 years I’ve saying that this woman has more common sense in her pinkie than 99% of all elected politicians in either party.

I would love to see her in Trump’s cabinet, simply for the fact that it could serve as a stepping stone for her to run for office again.

A moment for oil.

People don’t think about it correctly.

Oil is not some big lake or pond or sea underground. It’s embedded in rock. Porous rock. Unfortunately water gets embedded too. There is a window of oil. If the rock is too young, it won’t be oil yet. If it’s too old, it probably dissociated into natural gas by now. If too shallow, there wasn’t enough pressure and heat to make oil. If too deep, it was too hot and became natural gas. And beyond all those factors, there is the issue of caprock. Oil, whenever and however it gets made, has millions of years to escape and dissociate into natgas.

Oil is not everywhere. Don’t presume that it is. And before the abiotic wackos show up, it doesn’t matter how it’s made. It’s only stored one way, in porous, sedimentary rock with caprock that prevents it from escaping.

The world’s caprocks are largely entirely known. Nowhere left to seismically image. The ancient shorelines had to be there, the ancient seas had to be there. The porous rock has to be at the right depth and the right age. Here is where most of America’s oil came from:

"We watched other nations innovate and build infrastructure – and lay claim to the Arctic – whilst our leaders slept."

I would disagree about our leaders asleep. The uni-party under socialist/Muslim Obama's agenda just turn their eyes away. However, I believe the Trump Team are going force the GOPe to take stock of this historical adjustment. Of course, there is always squishy Jaun, Linda, and Collins in the Senate that are going to be problematic.

Unfortunately, we only have 52 Senators. However, I believed a couple or more Dim Senators may break for Trump. The writing is on the wall for all Senators...return to Constitutional roots or be left behind. The fight for the status quo in DC vs Trump's Team is going to be historical. Forget the socialist MSM and their "zombies", the real battle will be in the Senate. The House, not so much.

Sarah Palin is incredibly intuitive but her delivery as an orator is atrocious.

“IIRC, Johnson was President at the time of the Purchase.”

From a quick wiki:
It looks like the negotiations had been ongoing since 1859 but according to wiki, the Americans had been much more interested in the Civil war than in purchasing new land. It specifically says “Following the Union victory in the civil war, the Tsar instructed the Russian minister to the United States, Eduard de Stoeckl, to re-enter into negotiations with William Seward in the beginning of March 1867.” Seward had, of course, been Lincoln’s sec of state but no one in the US gov seems to have put any effort into the purchase until 1867, after Lincolns death.
