UPDATED;18 Current TV Programs About Alaska;All Because of Governor Palin

Original post had 15 there's now three more! Gov. Palin must have brought in untold millions of dollars in tourism and production (and of course all the money Dem operatives/lawyers spent looking for the fools gold)

Discovery Channel
Alaska Dogs
Documentary

The first major foray was of course Governor Palin's groundbreaking television show; 

"Five million viewers tuned in for the premiere episode, a record for TLC"

Here's today's "Discovery Channel" listings;

"The Last Alaskans Holiday Special"
"Ice Truckers in Alaska"
"Alaskan Bush People"
"The Last Alaskans Holiday Special" (repeated).
"Bering Sea Gold"
"Fishing Monsters In Alaska"

Is there anyone in Alaska that is not featured in a TV show?

I don't doubt for a second that hardly any of the above would be world-wide if it had not been for Sarah Palin who brought Alaska massive publicity with her 2008 VP run and of course most especially her 'for the ages" convention speech.

The multi-millions of dollars pumped into the Alaskan economy via the employment created from these television shows and ensuing tourism is incalculable.

Here's further information on Alaska on TV from a local 
"Ma. G"

"And that's just the Discovery Channel!

I am presently tuned in to Alaska: the Last Frontier, featuring the ever resourceful and independent Kilcher Family.

On Nat Geo and other channels are also;

Life Below Zero, 
Railroad Alaska, 
Buying Alaska,
Living Alaska, 
Alaska State Troopers, 
Edge of Alaska, 
one about Marty Rainy and his kids helping Alaska homesteaders, 
and one about the mega machines that keep Alaska going. 

And these are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. There are at least three more shows the titles of which I can't recall at the moment.

America has discovered Alaska. : )

I completely agree the credit goes entirely to Sally Heath's sweet baby girl, Governor Sarah Louise."

Election Revealed The Bizarre Eating Habits Of Liberals

The election season showed the utter stupidity and bias of most of the leftist journalist/pundit class. Nate Silver of the previously adored by lib's 'Fivethirtyeight' prediction site stands out with his "Trump has a 2% chance for the nomination" and then Clinton has a 70% chance of  winning the election" so called "predictions".

But he was just the tip of the iceberg of calamitous, biased and now exposed as ludicrous "punditry" which in it's extremes led to massive helpings of crow and other exotic 'food"
Enjoy!

Pompous arrogant Sam Wang who proudly admitted to me that I got my start at (ultra-leftist Daily Kos) 
had to not only eat crow but a cricket on national television. The only thing I'd disagree with is the "expert" tag especially as Wang got 2004 and 2016 election wrong.

Poll expert eats bug after Trump win

By REBECCA MORIN

 

Poll expert Sam Wang is eating his words.

Wang, a professor at Princeton University, ate a bug live on CNN Saturday after host Michael Smerconish asked, "Really, what about the bug?"

On Oct. 18, Wang tweeted: "It is totally over. If Trump wins more than 240 electoral votes, I will eat a bug."

President-elect Donald Trump won the election with at least 290 electoral votes.

"There are things that can happen that could bring the country together, but I don't think the bug thing is one of them, I just wanted to point it out," Wang said, after detailing how there are more important issues to discuss, such as who Trump will nominate to the Supreme Court.

Smerconish, however, said it was time to "put it to bed," in regards to the bug promise.

"After all, I was wrong. A lot of people were wrong, but no one made the promise I did," Wang said, before eating a single cricket from a bowl of gourmet crickets mixed with honey."

Speaking of pompous wrong and arrogant Washington Post's Dana Milbank advised that "if "Trump gets the nomination I will eat my column"

Well we know how that turned out and here he is literally eating his words;

(file under putz)

Via Breitbart

Milbank sips Trump wine and eats a shredded newspaper taco bowl containing his horrendously wrong analysis on Trump’s chances.

“In fact, I’m so certain Trump won’t win the nomination that I’ll eat my words if he does. Literally: The day Trump clinches the nomination I will eat the page on which this column is printed in Sunday’s Post. I have this confidence for the same reason Romney does: Americans are better than Trump.”

If eating some well cooked newspaper is the only consequence of providing professional analysis that is 180 degrees from what actually happens, Milbank should consider himself blessed."

Jill Stein Political Genius And Existential Threat To Democratic Party

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air misses the point entirely;

'Stein to recount donors: Vote on how you want me to waste your money next'

Well, why not? Donors to Jill Stein’s ludicrous efforts to recount states with too-large-to-change gaps wasted their money while promising the undeliverable. Her fantasies about roving bands of hackers carrying floppy disks visiting every voting machine in only states that Donald Trump won turned out to be paranoid delusions. Wisconsin’s statewide recount, 70% of which was done by hand, produced only a 0.055% change in the outcome … and increased Trump’s lead by 131 votes. Michigan’s results before the recount got shut down at the 40% mark show a similarly small net change (0.078%).

Fresh off of that success, Stein now wants donors to vote on how to use whatever money is left over:

At latest count, Stein had raised $7.33 million for the recount in just 2.5 weeks, and from more than 161,000 donors. The campaign’s latest estimate of costs puts the total recount-related expenses at about $7.4 million — meaning as of now, there would not necessarily be money left over. However, the campaign noted that some costs, such as compliance costs and legal fees for ongoing litigation, could be reduced from their estimates today. In addition, Stein’s campaign expects to receive some of the filing fee back from Michigan, where a recount was started but not completed. …

Stein’s campaign is planning to reach out to each of its 161,000 donors and ask them to vote on which “non-partisan election reform and voting rights organizations” will receive the leftover money. The campaign did not immediately release a list of possible organizations, but said it will do so “in the coming weeks” when it begins surveying donors.

Many suspected that the “organization” that the recount campaign was intended to benefit was Jill Stein. She raised more than twice as much money for the recounts than she did for the entire presidential cycle ($3,509,477), and did it in less than three weeks. That’s pretty curious, actually; how did a fringe candidate raise so much cash so quickly, far more than she had taken in over several months?

Perhaps the issue of fairness should prompt Stein to refund the unused portion of her recount fund back to where she got it — the donors themselves. After all, they coughed up the cash based on Stein’s assertions that fraud would get uncovered in the recounts and that they had standing to demand recounts in all three states. Both were proven laughably false, and in Pennsylvania her lawyers had to admit they had no evidence at all of tampering.

(see rest at link)

Never in the history of politics has a 1% party ever received such massive publicity and funding-a stroke of pure genius.

Stein filed outrageous recount requests, financed from really really dumb donors at the ultra-leftist "Daily Kos" among others in Michigan Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The Trump margin of victory was so large that it was impossible for them to be overturned-no recount in history has done so with such margins.



If she had succeeded in this unlikely plot then Trump would have fallen below the required 270 Electoral College votes and the election of president would have been thrown to the House of Representatives. The GOP has a majority of states in the house so Trump would have been elected anyway but that was besides the point. 

The whole idiotic scheme was to give Stein massive publicity, which she has received and to somehow "delegitimize" Trump's win.

The Dem's fantasies still have some more to run though. The plan is for enough Republican electors to vote for someone else so Trump falls below 270. The amazing plan maximum of 37 "faithless Electors" fall into line-good luck with that!

The only positives from all this nonsense is that Stein and the Greens are building their profile and as "fighters for the left" may well bleed off "Sanders-ites" and cause the Dem's massive damage in future. 

Stein's genius was to recognize Trump's methodology of using the media, free of charge, to get massive publicity at next to no cost. Tens of thousands of "progressives" have given Stein their email addresses and are a perfect audience for Stein and the Greens to keep dangling with radical leftist messaging.

The Trump administration is the perfect foil for Stein and the Greens as there will, most certainly, be a major emphasis on using public lands to develop the mining and oil industries. Conservationist groups have already signaled they will fight this every inch of the way and what better imagery for Stein and the Greens than to be on the battlefield, chained to trees if that gets wide publicity?

The potential disaster for the Dem's is obvious. If the Greens ascending as an option for the Sanders/Johnson/Progressives becomes viable (as it absolutely will in due course) then any further bleeding of Dem votes would solidify the rust belt states in the GOP's electoral College Camp, firm up Florida and North Carolina stop Arizona and Georgia moving to the left and even put Minnesota at risk.

For all the ranting about Stein from the Republicans the wider, obvious point was missed. The "recounts' never were a problem, the problem is for the Democratic party from a growing Green movement which, for example, just won the Presidency of Austria against the world-wide trend to the right.

Trump's Administration A Populist Meritocracy

 "1776er"  How are we to evaluate Trump's approach?

Republicans. Democrats. Insiders. Outsiders. Movement. Establishment. Christians. Atheists. Black. White. Hispanic. Gay. Straight. Transgendered. Feminist. Troglodyte. Xenophobe.  Commie. Islamophobe  Deplorable.

He don't care.

He is focused on results. Get me the results I want or get lost"

And quite right too. The "Never Trump" conservative ideologues can stay in their ivory towers as disconnected from the rust belt working men and women as Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Establishment are. The voters in the key marginal states wanted change and have a clear idea of what that change is-a return to America first job security and opportunity.

This requirement, which exit polls clearly signaled as the number one concern for voters, is of course Trump's perceived strength and clearly his main focus, the successful  execution of which would be his presidential legacy.

Trump as president and head of the GOP is the populist element of the administration, it being utterly wrong to even consider this as a 'figurehead' for the Wall St. crowd as sullen leftists are describing the situation.

 There is nothing the GOP establishment can do to stop or hinder Trump's plan for regenerating the American economy  even if by interventionist means which are such an anathema to the traditional right.

The surest indicator of this is the Carrier deal, a populist interaction if there ever was one, which was enabled and enhanced by VP in waiting and true classic conservative Mike Pence.

 The GOP understands they owe the presidency and the Supreme Court to Trump and while the likes of McCain and Graham may tut tut in the end they are powerless in face of the vast support Trump has among the rank and file.

In a magnificent display of realpolitik Trump has solidified his support in the party by creating a "meritocracy" cabinet of rock solid military men, hugely successful businessmen and women and achievers all without a nod to traditional party loyalists (Haley for example was a strong opponent) and even early supporters like Gingrich, Giuliani and Christie. 

What stands out above all with Trump's appointments is that the group is solidly conservative. 

This will signal to the base that their turning out for him in campaign events and in the polling booth that their desires as regards immigration (especially Muslim immigration), social issues, bureaucracy,"sanctuary cities", support of the police and armed forces, "Obamacare" with be addressed and the measures of the Obama years will be erased as much as possible.

In return for this large shopping list the rank and file and new GOP "blue collar" voters don't care in the least if traditional Republican free trade orthodoxy is ignored, as often as Trump deems it necessary, if they see jobs returning. 

When asked if he was acting against free trade by putting barriers to American firms relocating to Mexico Trump replied "that is not free trade that is dumb trade." There can be no doubt those in the rust belt in danger of losing their jobs would not side with the likes of George Will. Mark Levin and Bill Kristol and the rest of the purists railing against Trump in their $1000 suits.

There is much of FDR in Trump. Both very wealthy men who took office during times of financial and foreign uncertainty and who assembled a cabinet of similarly capable men and women. The outcome for FDR and the Democratic Party following his success was 20 years of unbroken presidential rule and a new coalition which served the party well until 2016. 

Trump has the opportunity of cementing a new populist/meritocratic Republican Party with the Dem's in the worst shape since the 1920's. If he succeeds the election of 2016 will be seen in retrospect as a major watershed in American history.
