The race in Alaska is between a barely Republican, Lisa Murkowski, and a real one, Kelly Tshibaka. Lisa Murkowski votes for the Biden agenda 66.7% of the time. That makes her a 33% Republican. Donald Trump responded (see below).
Mitch McConnell has decided to spend $9 million to support the barely Republican Lisa Murkowski. Why spend that kind of money in a race between two Republicans? There are other Republicans who have close races who could better use the money, like Blake Masters in Arizona, Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania, Herschel Walker in Georgia, and Adam Laxalt in Nevada, among others. These positions could return the Senate to Republicans. The Alaska race won’t.
Kelly Tshibaka wants America First in policy-making and bills as opposed to Last.
It’s not ironic that Mitch is doing this. Lisa Murkowski, who is only with Republicans 33% of the time, wanted to convict Donald Trump in a sham, unconstitutional impeachment. She’s handy for Mitch to keep around.
Given the Alaska Senate race is between two GOP, it is indeed odd that McConnell is placing his limited resources there. Even odder that those resources are being used against Tshibaka — the more conservative candidate vs. Murkowski. (But I don’t think it’s “ironic.”) pic.twitter.com/dnjoLgI6bK

MITCH DOESN’T CARE WHO THE PEOPLE WANT
According to Five Thirty Eight, a survey found that 62 percent of Democrats approved of Murkowski, while 23 percent disapproved. By comparison, 41 percent of Republicans approved of her versus 46 percent disapproved (she ran about even among independents). She votes 67% with the Biden agenda. Kelly would be a reliable Republican vote.
As for the fraud allegations, they’re bogus, and Mitch knows it. After they were found to be bogus, she was promoted more than once.
There is no excuse for the vile, dishonest ads Mitch is known to spread around. He is falsely accusing her of fraud and does it out of context. The truth, which Mitch knows, comes from Must Read Alaska dot com.
MUST READ ALASKA AND THE BOGUS FRAUD CLAIMS
Tshibaka’s job in D.C. was to keep federal employees honest, and some of them filed complaints against her in retaliation. Following a full investigation, she was exonerated and subsequently promoted.
McConnell and the Senate Leadership Fund are lying to Alaskans. And it’s only early October. We can’t wait to hear what trick McConnell pulls next.
This is McConnell using Republican donor money improperly against a fellow Republican, a complete violation of the Reagan Rule. This is also using Republican money against Alaska itself.
RISKING SENATE CONTROL TO KEEP THE 33% REPUBLICAN
Now, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is trying to use that to destroy Tshibaka’s reputation as a candidate for Senate, even though she is a fellow Republican. Whether she or Sen. Lisa Murkowski wins, it will not change the actual Republican makeup of the Senate.
The Senate Leadership Fund super PAC tied to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell started running television and radio ads accusing Tshibaka of committing fraud while working for the counter-terrorism agency — a serious charge. McConnell is supporting Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who lost the support of the Alaska Republican Party after she voted against the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Tshibaka gave Must Read Alaska a copy of the document she says shows the entire matter of the complaint against her for “false time” reporting was looked at and closed. There were no credible claims.
After the complaint was found wanting, Tshibaka was promoted from an adviser to the Inspector General of the National Intelligence Service to a senior adviser to the Inspector General.
The office of the Director of National Intelligence is a senior-level agency that provides oversight to the Intelligence Community. ODNI primarily involves counter-terrorism, counter-intelligence, and other spy work, including protecting elections from foreign interference. Being the watchdog of the intelligence community is not without its work hazards, especially if a spy is acting contrary to protocols.
While the letter from the chief management officer for the Director of National Intelligence is not conclusive without what is likely privileged employment-related backup documentation, the fact that Tshibaka received promotions after this letter provides substantial support for her claim that the allegations were baseless.
Make your choice Alaska – a 33% Republican who hates the America First agenda or an actual Republican.

Ditch Mitch!
I do not know how the national republican party can circumvent the declarations of a state party. Alaskan Republicans overwhelmingly kicked lisa out of the party. Believe me, if there hadn’t been a lot of incentive given by the people for the state Republican party to censure lisa and remove her as their candidate it wouldn’t have happened. I don’t understand how she can even run as a “Republican” and use that name to run in an election since she doesn’t adhere to the planks of the party. So she is committing fraud. Telling people she is a Republican while not agreeing with or adhering to the planks of the party. So she is a liar and a fraudster.
So the national arm of the party is blatantly and brutishly circumventing the will of the people of this state by monetarily and physically (via ads) supporting a candidate we don’t want to represent us in congress. I think I need to write and ask them why. Wonder if I’ll get an answer.
The soft spoken RINO China Mitch is a dirty power wielder with a personal agenda. It was obvious since 2009. He is not conservative and not America First, never has been.The Tea Party began then and now exists in the MAGA movement. Mitch has bitterly opposed it the entire time. Faux News tricked viewers with its left versus right theme while ignoring the obvious betrayal of conservatism in the GOP. Faux deserves much blame for shielding Mitch and Ryan.
Mitch has delivered democratic senates on 3 occasions. In 2020 he totally and deliberately botched the senate. He helped some good candidates lose in primaries. Losing both Georgia races was an incredible failure. He had that rich lady who was handed the job, she lost to a far leftist. (Kemp, a partner with Mitch in election crimes, appointed her.) He smeared Collins in the primary, ended up with RINO Perdue losing. No decent, credible party allows such a betraying loser like Mitch to remain in leadership and control money. There are some very dirty things going on in the party. They have partnered with the dems to ruin America.
I heard a rumor that Lisa Murkowski, gives Mitch McConnell favors, but I don’t believe that for one minute. Even Mitch isn’t that desperate. I think it’s more likely that she’s Blackmailing Him. But then, Mitch could be in trouble and just needs her vote.
The Intel Bureaucracies have big brown folders in Washington DC with a studies in Black and White on every Congressmen. In many cases it’s the Intel agencies calling the shots and they are just like Mafia Organizations. The first order of business for a Bureaucracy is the Bureaucracy and the Bureaucracy will not allow anyone into Congress who wants to reform and downsize Government. MAGA anything is toxic to the Deep State Bureaucracy so Mitch McConnell is going to do all he can to keep the Congress in line or the Bureaucrats will destroy him!
