Commercial pilots have a forced retirement age. This is to protect the flying public.

Politicians and appointed federal judges have no such forced retirement age and they are determining the future of every America!

Time to un-rig politics!

As predicted the speed of the destruction of Congress created independent departments of government has increased as the mid term elections approach.
Now that Congress is looking to flip I expect the pace of destruction to increase to fever level.

Once gone these things are hard to get back!

After seeing several posts from people I know about what is being served to our troops I think that MREs would be preferable.

Cost cutting at the expense of the American people is something the current administration has lots of experience in doing.
It isn't much of a stretch to see the same behavior forced on those who serve.

To all the future Veterans (serving now) just remember who you vote for!

And when I served in the US military I thought that K rations and MREs were questionable but mostly edible. And for what the government paid for each meal that had a shelf life of, Probably longer than My life span.

When it comes to Iran the king has no clothes!

The way things are going the $100 dollar bill is the new $1 dollar bill!
I am thinking that moving money off shore wouldn't be a bad idea before trump crashes the rest of the US economy with tariffs and lining his pockets.

He is setting himself up for a big $$$ consulting job with Big OIL when he is voted out.
We Alaskan's are between a rock and a hard spot... Until he is out of office!

Democrats Caved! (As expected)
They wanted to reign in ICE and CPB that was already funded by the BBB.
Dem's didn't get what they said they wanted. Ice still runs amuck.
For all intents DHS is funded and the terror continues.

I am glad that TSA is being paid.
But > 500 left the TSA for good!

Are you enjoying the destruction of the constitution?
Are you enjoying seeing the bodies come home from an unjustified and undeclared conflict?
Are you enjoying seeing your rights being taken away.
Are you enjoying seeing the national debt grow much bigger?
Well you got it! You got it all and more

Hello MAGA!
Are you enjoying your war?
Are you enjoying the increasing price of gas for your redneck truck?
Are you enjoying your ever increasing prices of everyday products caused by tariffs?
How about your health care?
Remember that restaurant that you liked that closed because of ice raids?

A law needs to be passed that forces Congress to vote on each individual organization's budget, not just voting on an entire department budget.

This would prevent the "Hostage taking" of non-associated departments.
IE: holding up DHS funding would not stop All the departments within DHS funding.

Keep up the pressure!
There is light at the end of the MAGA tunnel.
Do what you can to stop the Save Act.
Dailey letters to your Senators to vote NO.
Flood their offices with calls.
Don't give away your right to vote!

It has been an entertaining week!
The investigative reporting just keeps turning up more verified grift, lies and corruption throughout the administration.
The judicial side of things are beginning to show less fear and are doing their jobs.
The Epstein files have shown back in the news cycle.

Convicted by a court means nothing.
Just wait, Trump will pardon him before he leaves office by election or by impeachment.
Personally I think a president should lose the power of the pardon the instant they are impeached but not convicted. If the Senate does not convict the pardon power, returned

This is one case where nothing is a better choice than what the current administration and Congress has been doing. Agree, mid terms have the potential to change the direction of this misguided ship.

Agree, but Trump has opened Pandora's box. Closing it is going to take much more than just walking away at this point.
War or no war is just another topic that is meant to divide the American people. Is it working?

There are a bunch of Dems that should go too. In my opinion term limits are needed to prevent career politicians.

Watching the hearings today.
Won't or don't answer or lie to the questions ask by Congress.
GOP selling the Save America ACT.
DEMs asking questions that apply to the hearings.
It's all about the spin
Is this the type of people we want running our government?
Drama, theatrics, self preservation

Alaska is 5 times bigger in area than Norway. The population of Norway is 7-8 times larger than Alaska.
How about a partnership? We need skilled people, Norway needs resources. 😉

Sounds familiar, Alaska has the same problem. Here the problem is those who have the knowledge come in to harvest the resources but they don't live here are are not part of the local economy. They take their big pay checks and live somewhere else.
We have no state Income tax.
tax on everything else

One question do you see knowledge as a resource?

BTW Alaska First Nation peoples were invaded and taken over. Their resources were taken by force..

After reading through your posts I see where you are coming from!
I see some commonality in that the elected or appointed government officials are not doing what we want.
Case in point We the American people Elected Trump. He appointed incompetent people and we are all now suffering.

It is now very apparent Trump wants this war to go on as long as possible.
It has dominated the news cycle for more time than anything else except for the Epstein files.
It is time for "we the people" to
Refocus on the Epstein files.

Not sure when the last time you spent any serious time in Norway but your statements don't seem to follow the reality of Norway. What are your thoughts on Iceland? I just got back from there.
