Only naysayers question Trump's war wisdom, says Dunleavy

“Claims of Democrat naysayers notwithstanding, President Trump understandably saw a need to take military action in Iran,” Yeahsayer Gov. Mike Dunleavy claims to Fox News.

And don’t complain about gasoline and diesel prices. That’s what Naysayers do.

What Yeahsayers do is celebrate energy dominance, made possible by Trump, which means gasoline is going for $5.25 a gallon and it could go much higher. Premium grade Trump energy dominance starts at $6 a gallon and up.

If it gets to $8, every fill-up will come with a Kash Patel bottle of bourbon.

Energy dominance also means talking about the Alaska LNG pipeline to export massive quantities of LNG to Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. It will be built as soon as someone in the non-dominant universe can be conned into paying for it.

“As part of that energy dominance strategy, President Trump has promoted the Alaska LNG Pipeline on multiple occasions, including his 2025 State of the Union address. This major pipeline would facilitate the easy export of liquid natural gas to nations like Japan and South Korea, creating jobs in Alaska and making these countries less dependent on energy sources controlled by hostile powers. Action by Alaska’s Legislature in the coming days could help clear the way for this economically and strategically important project,” says Alaska’s dominant Yeahsayer.

Let’s not forget these immortal words from Trump during his 2025 State of the Union address:

From Donald Trump’s 2025 State of the Union address.

This was a month after Sen. Dan Sullivan issued a spectacular statement saying “PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCES ‘JOINT VENTURE’ ON ALASKA LNG PROJECT WITH JAPAN.”

There is no joint venture. There are no trillions, billions or millions. The dream now is that Trump will unleash a massive federal pipeline subsidy, claiming the military needs LNG.

More and more, it appears Dunleavy is aiming at an audience of one as time runs down on his tenure in Juneau.

He has posted his Fox News tribute to Trump on the state website under the headline: “America’s answer to Iran’s energy threats begins with Alaskan power.”

I am waiting for the moment when Dunleavy announces the Donald J. Trump Golden Alaska LNG Pipeline and invites Trump to bask in the sunshine at Nikiski-lago.
