“now’s a great time to unload the Klondike state.”

What a putz writer. The Klondike is and area in NW Canada, not Alaska.

Better idea is just to put most of the federal land holdings up for sale. Here in Southern California, there are lots of million dollar per house neighborhoods that abut federally-owned “forest” lands where there’s no development whatsoever, not even a tourist hotel. It’s not even actual forest with trees, for the most part. Just make some hard choices about the best parts that really need to be preserved as parkland, and sell the rest to real estate developers. The land is incredibly valuable and does no one any good staying off the market.

Typical leftist.

Government owns 60% so trample the property rights of the other 49%

No, no, and no.

The Chicoms will become a (major) threat, having Alaska would allow them to move over several hundred million people and endanger America and Canada.

No.

While we’re at it, bring back American jobs.

It was a joke. Yes! Bring back American Jobs... reduce taxes and regulations on business and weaken the communist labor unions.
