Former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), a candidate running to represent Alaska’s At-Large Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, said in an interview on Breitbart News editor Adrienne Ross’s eponymous podcast published on Tuesday that if elected, her policy priority will be to “open up” the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) as a measure against a “fake energy crisis” that President “Biden made.”
Palin called for increasing energy and natural resource development in ANWR while highlighting the synthetic nature of rising energy costs driven by government policies marketed by the Biden administration as “environmental” measures.

She is going to have to convince the other Republican candidates to withdraw so she can win.
Is she still running? I thought she got cheated out by the fake voting system
??? Thought she was metaphorically beaten and kicked to the curb by the Team-RINO.
win first.
My first agenda item would be “disband the FBI.”
WTG!
” My first agenda item would be “disband the FBI.”
Not disband, Disarm them. They do some good intel,
never throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Yes. Disband. Useful functions like counter-intelligence, anti drug smuggling, can be established in a new agency.
Give these agencies a new name and a new building elsewhere
Although the same functions, and even some of the same people, may be involved - America needs to see a clear break with the past
There will be many great Republican victories in November but none will be as sweet as seeing Sarah Palin win the Alaska House Seat.
She could have done that if she were a governor.
As one of hundreds of Congress people? Not so sure. I guess she could put forth a bill.
Kick the UN out of the USA, also
That was temporary...to finish out the term.
Most unfortunate but the establishment puke cheaters will never allow Sarah win. To them, she is their enemy because she walks in truth.
The CI unit in DC is the main abuser!
Because its CI it doesn’t have to meet the same evidentiary standards as the field offices. Its chain-of-command goes directly to the director thus guaranteeing a certain amount of political influence in its actions\decision making. Also by being in DC political influence flows in socially.
Maybe best thing to do is make it more like MI5\BSS. No arrest power (Note: It didn’t use to! Maybe it has it now!). To make an arrest it has to go through royal state prosecutors & Scotland Yard Special Branches. That was suggested back in the 1980s as part of a general INTEL community reform.
The GOP too easily gets suckered into playing games that give the d-Rats an advantage - if they’re dealing with a ranked-preference election system, they need to come up with some means of choosing a single party candidate beforehand, perhaps a caucus system (as in the Iowa primaries). Yes, that can lead to the endorsement of party squishes (like Murkowski), but if the grass-roots party members want somebody better, they can fight it out at the caucus level, rather than letting some democrat loony win the election because of a divided vote in the general election.
don’t they ALL get a yearly check anymore???
“She could have done that if she were a governor.”
Actually, I think the opposite is true. It’s a “National” wildlife refuge. That means it’s under federal jurisdiction, and the governor of Alaska can’t touch it. As a member of Congress, she at least can try to accomplish it.
Thanks. A very cogent reply. I think you know more about Federal Law operations than I do. I have worked in government and large bureaucracies, but not anything like FBI or IC.
we agree there are important intelligence and investigative functions that must be done. I suppose I am more focused on how structure informs operations, and what this says to society at large. That's why I would propose a complete name-and-structure change
look at the Soviet KGB. Although many of its tasks, people and methods transferred to the FSB new Russia (ie. Putin!), it nonetheless broke-up its structure, its name, bureaucracy and operating rules. It was important in the post-communist system to demonstrate, even if symbolically, a clean-break
