Aleutian islands are situated in the North Pacific ocean, forming a chain which extends about 1200 miles west, southwest of alaska toward siberia to form the southern boundary of the bering sea. The aleutians constitute part of a territory of alaska, usa. A volcanic origin, there are numerous cones on the chain, many of them still active. The coasts are rocky and rise immediately from the water in steep, bold mountains. The aleutians are the storm hub of the western world. A permanent low pressure area prevails there. Cold air masses from the polar regions flow with a shearing effect against the warm, moisture laden air masses over the japanese current to form cyclonic disturbances. T because of the earths rotation, the disturbances move from west to east and this phenomenon constitutes one of the most dangerous weapons in the arsenal of our unmeenemies, for it allo the japanese to move behind the curtain of a storm. In the early days of june, 1942, they employed this advantage to secu

Apparently you guys knew about it earlier in the week, because obviously this is a team out of austin that has come to cover it. Fantastic. Im tickled to death they could it is taped. The idea, i think, is they will send a tape back to d. C. And it will be run unedited, unfiltered, which is the way i prefer it. So whoever runs it, whoever is responsible for that, thank you for letting us have access to the facility again. It is terrific. I will talk about some things in d. C. , then get going. The only thing congress has to do year in and year out is fund the government. We do that through the appropriations process. Today is october 7, today is the seventh day of the new fiscal year. We should have gotten all the appropriations work done at least before the end of september, and we didnt. Which is not unusual. Congress usual doesnt get that work done.

After the usmca event in iowa, Vice President pence took questions on ukraine, the bidens, and the president S Communications with ukraines president. President zelensky said there was no pressure. His words were no one pushed. A clear reading of the transcript shows there was no quid pro quo in the president s call. The American People should read the transcript. And they do well to do that. The chairman of the Intelligence Committee manufactured a version of the transcript and read it into the record. We also see the chairman of the committee misrepresented his context with the whistleblower and repeated interviews.
