Todd Palin is confronted by Alaskan in Iowa who reminds the Palins that their BS no longer works up here in the Last Frontier.

Courtesy of SF Gate:

As we told you the other day, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hasn't decided yet to run for president.

One big question she will have to answer is why she quit after only two years as governor.The question came up as Palin and husband Todd swooped through the Iowa State Fair the other day. 

A woman, who identified herself as an Alaskan, questioned Todd about why his wife quit. 

He told her to watch "The Undefeated" -- the movie about Palin made by a conservative filmmaker. 

They got into it, and the exchange ended with the woman calling Todd a "sellout."

God I LOVED seeing that.

I cannot believe that Sarah Palin's personal purse valet suggested to this lady that she needed to watch "The Undefeated."

Hey asshole, we are Alaskans!  We don't need to see the movie, we fucking LIVED it!

That is how we know it is a poorly constructed piece of propaganda that NOBODY wanted to attend and which nowadays cannot even attract donations of pet foods in exchange for tickets.

Which is something that Spokane politician Mike Noder discovered the hard way:

Sarah Palin may not be much of a draw in Spokane. 

That’s one conclusion – and a charitable one, at that – to draw from an event a little more than a week ago at The Bing Crosby Theater featuring the new biographical movie about Palin. Planned as a chance to raise money for charities, food for Second Harvest Food Bank and pet supplies for Spokanimal, it was a disappointment, said organizer Mike Noder. 

Unsure how much it might bring in, and unwilling to run afoul of the state Public Disclosure Commission, he didn’t want to collect money for his low-cost mayoral campaign. But he offered hold the screening and collect for some local charities. 

Admission was free, with would-be watchers urged to bring food or pet supplies or donate to charity. 

“People responding were kind of vicious,” Noder said. Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery wanted no part of the gig and the Food Bank wouldn’t bring down donation barrels, he said. 

The movie, which aired on a Thursday night, didn’t draw a big crowd. Noder estimated it at 50, although others thought it might’ve been half that. The Northeast Community Center Youth Group got the door receipts. The Food Bank got some donations and a plastic grocery bag of food. Spokanimal got some donations and a couple cases of cat food. 

Noder actually got less than nothing: “My web traffic dropped. The association was not good for my campaign.” 

Time to face reality "Tawd." Alaskans know you and your wife pathetic quitters, clearly movie audiences know you are pathetic quitters, and the number of American voters who know you are pathetic quitters is growing everyday.

Sometimes when you pack in a hurry things get left behind.

"I feel like I forgot something. What could it be?"

"Oh yeah! Now I remember!"

"Dammit Todd! Bringing 'the girls' is YOUR job!"

I await the Palin fairy tale troll's attempt to explain this away.

Sarah Palin's week just got a whole lot worse as Shailey Tripp reveals what she knew, and when she knew it.

From Shailey's blog:

The next few days I will be writing about How The Lies of Sarah Palin turn into TRUTH as it pertains to me. 

I know for a fact (and yes with proof), that Sarah Palin knew that at the very least a prostitute who claimed to have sex with Todd, her husband, was going to go public with the information. I know for a fact, Sarah Palin, was told about all the emails that showed there was a relationship between her husband, Todd, and this person. Furthermore, I know Sarah Palin was told that there were even emails showing that Todd could be involved in running or involved in a ................prositution ring. 

This was 1 week before Christmas 2010- Fri. Dec 17, 2010.

To read the rest, and yes you DO want to read the rest, just click the link and head on over to Shailey's blog.


You know there are two names that attract the most aggressive and negative remarks from the trolls when they appear on this blog.  And those names are Mercede Johnston and Shailey Tripp.

I am constantly cautioned by these helpful little imps not to believe anything that they say, and told (using a plethora of exclamation points) that they are LIARS!!!!!!! HATEFUL, HATEFUL, LIARS!!!!!!

Here's the funny thing.  I have never caught them lying to me.

I have had dozens, and I mean dozens, of people attempt to deceive, manipulate, or outright lie to me. But never them.

In fact Sadie's version of events (Often either preceded by, or backed up by, Sherry's version of events.) has never changed.

People have attacked her character, screamed obscenities at her in the grocery store, stolen her mail, and vandalized both her car and her house, and still she has refused to allow herself to be intimidated into keeping her mouth shut. The only time she stayed quiet was when she was hoping that by doing so she would get to see Tripp.  But after numerous promises made, and then broken, Sadie realized that the Palins were simply using the last hold they had over her family to control them.

Now that control is no more.

As for Shailey, well Shailey is the only source I have ever known that passed five, count them five, polygraph tests with flying colors.

I have talked to many bloggers, journalists, and authors who have spoken to her, and they all said that she was very credible.  The only thing that keeps her story from getting the kind of coverage it deserves is lack of physical proof, which we are still struggling to have released from APD. I have seen some of the evidence, and so far it all backs up Shailey's story, and refutes much of what official APD spokesman Lt. David Parker said publicly.

Once she is able to get her hands on that evidence I think her story will blow up again in a major way.

Especially if all of the people claiming that Palin is DEFINITELY launching her bid for the GOP nomination on September 3rd, are accurate. If, or when, that happens this whole thing  is going to get much, much more interesting.

Shailey Tripp, if I may borrow a phrase, gets her "Grrr" on.

Here is a portion of what Shailey posted yesterday:

I have talked to many members of the press since Jan. 2011 and I have been asked over and over again why is anything I have to say newsworthy because the National Enquirer didn't pick up the story and the Anchorage Police did issue their press release. Well I want to say to all the Media persona out there: When the police cover up, hide, mislead, lie, and issue press releases all the while violating someone's rights all due to a phone call by another person's lawyer.....UMMMM that is a story, all by itself that alone is merit for a great news story......... and the media not looking into the story and investigating and reproting the facts, THAT IS A PROBLEM. That is THE STORY. 

I can't understand, when did other news sources base their decision making on the word or actions of the National Enquirer? When did the press as a whole stop investigating stories just because of a press release? Just because you say it, doesn't make it true. At the very least the local news in Alaska should have looked into this. If this is now how the media operates, umm America wake up, we have a severe problem! 

But hey what do I know I am just Todd Palin's whore, and Sarah Palin's massage therapist.....

You know being Todd's "whore" and Sarah's massage therapist, would indicate to me that Shailey could know quite a lot actually.

Shailey and I spent yesterday texting back and forth and she is very fired up right now.

She believes, and I agree, that with all of the media attention directed at Mercede right now the time is ripe to start getting HER story out to a wider audience as well.

So she will start posting some more very interesting information about her case, Todd and Sarah Palin, and the coverup orchestrated by the Anchorage Police Department.

She and I will also be teaming up on some posts and will hopefully start rattling some cages and waking up a slumbering media about a story that has it all, sex, corruption, bribery, and politics.

Stay tuned.

Curtis Menard Jr died ten years ago today-accident or murder?

Curtis and his son Dirk.



Was it an accident or murder?



I'm going to revisit a post I written earlier.



The crash report states this:



The pilot departed his residence at a private lake in a float-equipped airplane to transport passengers to another remote lake. Prior to his departure, the airplane was fueled by the pilot from a 1,000 gallon metal tank located on his lake property. During the fueling process, the metal tank's fuel supply was exhausted, but sufficient fuel was obtained to fill one fuel tank, and nearly fill the other. Before departing for the day, the pilot purchased 15 gallons of additional fuel at a nearby airport and placed 5 gallons of the additional fuel in the airplane fuel tanks. He then conducted two round-trip flights to the remote lake. After a day of fishing at the remote lake, the pilot flew to his residence, and added 10 gallons of additional fuel to the airplane. Two empty five gallon fuel cans were found at his dock. He then departed on the accident flight to pick up additional passengers from the remote lake, but he did not arrive at his destination. The airplane was located inverted in an area of tall trees. The airplane flaps were extended full down. The engine did not appear to be running at the time of the accident. The airplane's fuel totalizer indicated 29 gallons of fuel. A postaccident examination of the engine found no mechanical malfunctions. Minor wrinkles were found along the bottom of each of the airplane's fuel bladders. The gascolator contained about a teaspoon of water and particulate contamination. The header tank had about an ounce of fuel and water. The fuel pump contained no fuel. Evidence of tan-colored particulate contamination was found in a fluid sample obtained from the fuel filter housing, attached to the pilot's fuel tank hand pump on his fuel tank.



The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:



A loss of engine power during cruise flight due to fuel system contamination with water, and the pilot's inadequate preflight procedures. A factor in the accident was unsuitable terrain for a forced landing."



However Curtis and Sarah had a big fight a few weeks before the crash. Curtis was always careful about fuel contamination. Sarah had been to his residence many times and knew the lay of the property. Hmmm.

Shailey Tripp's latest post

From her bloghttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

posted by Shailey on Wednesday, July 27, 2011

For over a month now I have wanted to address the issue of my arrest paperwork and the Anchorage Police Department’s official statement to the National Enquirer regarding the article from the NE on the subject matter that I was Todd Palin’s mistress/prostitute. Specifically I want to go into detail about each point they made in their statement.

I took the following off of radar online’s website as the link to the national Enquirer no longer seems valid.

Radar Online “LATEST UPDATE: 9:15 PM EST

The Anchorage Police Department have issued the

following press release:

Shailey Tripp Investigation APD #10-1823

The Anchorage Police Department investigation and arrest of Shailey Tripp has

recently been mischaracterized in internet blogs and in a National Enquirer

article. Several errors regarding the investigation and arrest were reported in

the Enquirer article (printed and internet versions):

*None of the physical evidence examined by police showed any connection to

Wasilla resident Todd Palin and his name did not appear in any of the records

seized by APD.

*The investigation of the prostitution operation was initiated by Anchorage

Police Department’s Vice Unit responding to internet advertisements, not through

information developed from any tips or other persons.

*No rolodex was seized and taken into evidence.

*The National Enquirer has not contacted Anchorage Police Department Public

Affairs Unit to fact check its story so their reported call to Anchorage Police

Department could not have been returned.

*Bloggers have had no access to the evidence seized so their linking of

evidence in police custody to any other person is incorrect. “

First let me address this very simple detail: Shailey Tripp Investigation APD #10-1823

As you can see for yourself my name along with an assigned number for reference appears. The number 10-1823. Now all my paperwork from the courts, the attorneys, and the police have a different number. The number on all my paperwork with a APD prefix is #10-3948.

The next statement is:

None of the physical evidence examined by police showed any connection to

Wasilla resident Todd Palin and his name did not appear in any of the records

seized by APD.

From my understanding, according to the interview Malia Litman gave with Dave Parker, who issued this report, the police never actually examined the actual evidence it took into custody. So my take on this is they either knew who the big players were and decided not to look at it so they can with all honesty say that Todd Palin’s name does not appear on anything taken from the Tripp arrest or they just never got around to actually looking at what they took. Which in my own opinion is sloppy either way. We do know for a fact that the police did know what they took into custody. And in all the paperwork I have at least 7 of the officers police reports indeed indicate that items seized were a client list with phone numbers. Each officer worded this in their own individual way but never the less they seized client info with phone numbers period!

The third point: The investigation of the prostitution operation was initiated by Anchorage

Police Department’s Vice Unit responding to internet advertisements, not through

information developed from any tips or other persons.

Yes, it is true they did investigate Craig list ads and backpage ads, but they did not start the investigation due to those ads. The investigation was clearly started based off of two different phone calls from two different people a Laurie Jorgenson and a William Fortier. In both the original police report and the Affidavit of David Burns for Search Warrant Authorization both state that on 1-24-10 William Fortier contacted APD Officer Billiet to report possible prostitution. It also states that Laurie Jorgenson also placed a call to the APD to make a similar complaint based off of finding douche bottles in the trash can. The police report and affidavit have their contact info, description, and social security numbers on them so I am not mistaken on this point. So clearly the investigation was directly prompted by 2 phone calls and not initiated by Internet ads.

Next, the statement: No rolodex was seized and taken into evidence.

Well I carefully read all the paperwork, every page several times. I count at least 6 times the evidence was clearly recounted by 6 different officers on their own paper work regarding the arrest. Also the paperwork I was given about the property they seized clearly, with out a doubt indicate the items and property they took into custody.

In Officer David Burns report he clearly states that items seized were “office documents, calendars, books with client phone numbers….”

In Officer Josua Nolder’s report specifically mentions items seized “SONY laptop, credit card machine, various paperwork such as client lists and expense report…”

And of course the actual evidence reciepts clearly show that a “notebook with client phone numbers” was taken.

The next point: The National Enquirer has not contacted Anchorage Police Department Public

Affairs Unit to fact check its story so their reported call to Anchorage Police

Department could not have been returned.

I do not work for the national Enquirer nor do I have access to any of their information. But when I was in contact with the National Enquirer they indicated to me in a clear way that they did indeed contact the Anchorage Police Department for a comment. But the National Enquirer can only account for themselves I am not in anyway speaking for them.

The last point: Bloggers have had no access to the evidence seized so their linking of

evidence in police custody to any other person is incorrect.

Correct none of the bloggers could possibly have known what evidence was seized at the time this statement was made not would they - the bloggers- have access to look through the property seized. But we now have my police report and we also have copies of the paperwork in which they list the items seized. Bloggers can make any inference they wish to based off their own investigation and opinions. To my knowledge a blogger can post anything they like: opinion, rumor, likes, dislikes, profanity, anything… but why would the police even make this comment?!

In closing I would like to say that Officer Dave Parker himself admitted that there were mistakes made and that the whole APD statement was purely issed due to a phone call from Sarah Palin’s lawyer to the APD!

Shailey keep fighting the good fight girl! And stay safe

The return of Shailey Tripp.

This was posted on Shailey's blog Wednesday:

For over a month now I have wanted to address the issue of my arrest paperwork and the Anchorage Police Department’s official statement to the National Enquirer regarding the article from the NE on the subject matter that I was Todd Palin’s mistress/prostitute. Specifically I want to go into detail about each point they made in their statement.

The Shailey proceeds to do exactly that.


There is much more happening behind the scenes which must stay behind the scenes for now.  But trust me, just as soon as all of the loose ends are tied up we will be hearing MUCH more from Shailey.


Should be very explosive indeed.

Sarah Palin-sexual abuse victim?

I certainly hope not, but by observing her actions and words, you have to wonder.

Sarah uses a lot of sexual innuendo. Accuses President Obama of not having the cojones to deal with immigration. Cojones is Spanish for testicles, or balls.

When David Letterman made a joke about Willow, Sarah got all pissed off about it and called him a pervert.

Joe McGinniss moves in next door to write his book on Sarah, she freaks out and accuses him of trying to look into her bedroom window.

She also called reporters limp, impotent, and gutless when they actually had the "cojones" to report criticism of her. Impotent if of course when a man cannot get aroused.

In a Vanity Fair article Sarah is quoted while getting ready for a city council meeting that she is going to wear her push up bra tonight so she can get what she wants.

She also accused Shawn Christy and others of wanting to rape her daughters.

On many occasions she has dresses very provocatively.

The Belmont stakes, wearing a push up bra:

An interview with FOX News, wearing a sleeveless dress:

Wearing leopard shoes at the Long Island speech:

Newsweek, then bitches that it was sexist:

Yet she did pose the same way for Runner's World. Did she think that was sexist?

Victims of sexual abuse are more likely to engage in sexual behaviors like promiscuity, sexual innuendo, and dressing provocatively. They also have low self esteem. Sarah has had multiple sexual relationships with Brad Hanson and Curtis Menard and she definitely has low self esteem.

Another interesting thing is her relationship with her father, Chuck Heath. He seems like a predator. He bought a shirt that said "Coldest State, Hottest Governor". What kind of father does that? My dad didn't even like me wearing Co Ed Naked T-Shirts when I was in high school and college.

He also made a comment about kids losing their underwear? Ewww!

And in Sarah Palin's Alaska he showed unusual interest in Kate's daughters.

One other aspect about Sarah is she shows callousness towards other sexual abuse victims, like making rape victims pay for their rape kits:

And she thinks rape victims should not abort their babies that were conceived during rape:

One of the reasons Sarah fired Walt Monegan as Public Safety Commissioner was over the budget. He wanted more funding to fight sexual abuse and going after rapists. Sarah said no. The other reason is obvious, he would not fire Mike Wooten.

I don't know if Sarah is a sexual abuse victim, nor is it anyone's business, but if she did she needs HELP!

Here is the Trailer for the Undefeated

What a fucking joke!  Sarah is a Warrior?  That is an insult to warriors.

Apparently Todd is not happy over this:

From UK Mail Online

Sarah Palin was reduced to tears after her husband flew into a rage over her new movie The Undefeated, sources say.

The former Alaska Governor and possible Presidential contender cried after watching Hollywood stars take pot shots at her in the documentary.

Filmmaker Stephen Bannon included attacks on her from several stars.

In the film's first 10 minutes, The Bourne Supremacy star Matt Damon compares Palin to 'a really bad Disney movie.'

David Letterman, the late night talk show host, called Mrs Palin 'slutty.'

Insiders say Mrs Palin's husband, 'First Dude' Todd Palin is angry and attacked her for cooperating with the project.
One political analyst believes the film could ruin a possible White House run.

An insider told the National Enquirer: 'Sarah was brought to tears and Todd was livid after they saw the movie with a crowd of supporters in Iowa.'

'Todd said the film is going to give Sarah's enemies fresh ammunition to destroy her as she considers running for president.

'He told Sarah that she was beyond naive for walking into an ambush like that.'

Among celebrities taking swipes at Palin, who has just completed her East Cast tour, were Madonna, Howard Stern and Bill Maher.

According to the Enquirer, another source said: 'Todd is rip-roaring furious over the way this film turned out.

'He hopes he never comes face to face with the stars who ripped her to shreds.

'He'd like to give them all apiece of his mind.'

Jesse Griffin, who runs the Alaska-based website theimmoralminority.blogspot.com, told the Enquirer: 'Sarah Palin blasts the Hollywood elite as horrible people, but there's a danger voters will laugh at the jokes celebrities make about her in the movie.'

And of course Sarah got her panties in a bunch and bitched about the report on Facebook:

Obviously we’ve seen our share of media lies, but the latest fabrications circulated take a big slice of the cake. The UK Daily Mail reports that I was “in tears” as Todd “rages over Hollywood stars ripping” me in the new film “The Undefeated.” Huh? Really? The beautiful town of Pella, Iowa, was flooded with an army of media covering the premiere of this film. You’d think someone would have caught those tears and rages on tape, right? Well, here’s a video of the remarks I made at the Pella Opera House right after viewing the film. The emotion clearly displayed was gratitude to the filmmakers who invested their own time and money into highlighting my team’s record in Alaska. Todd and I were overwhelmed with gratitude, and we hope everyone sees this film.

In fact, you can click here to buy tickets to see the film, which opens in theaters on July 15th. You can also vote here to bring it to a theater near you.

MSM, you should check it out too. (You’ll learn the facts many of you have failed to report for the last three years as you’ve continued to do what makes you less and less relevant in our country’s discourse: you’ve chosen to just make things up.) There’s a story there, but you’ll never find it if you continue lying and carrying water for the powers that be.

Again, we thank the sweet town of Pella, and will forever remember the amazing evening we shared together in Iowa!

- Sarah Palin

Film "The Undefeated" may be causing HUGE rift in loosely organized Palin camp as Sarah is tugged back and forth between supporters and angry "only for show" husband. Update!

"God I hate my life! How much longer before that damn contract is up?"

'He told Sarah that she was beyond naive for walking into an ambush like that.'

If indeed Todd said this, and this is the only account I have heard that he did, it may be one of his more intelligent observations.  It is exactly right that this film is NOT changing anyone's mind about who Sarah is, but it is DEFINITELY providing comedians and critics with tons of new material to use against her.

According to the Enquirer, another source said: 'Todd is rip-roaring furious over the way this film turned out.

'He hopes he never comes face to face with the stars who ripped her to shreds.

'He'd like to give them all apiece of his mind.'

Number one it is VERY unlikely that Tawd will ever get too close to a REAL celebrity, and if he does he will be WAY too intimidated to say anything to their face. Todd is nothing more than a schoolyard bully, and only acts tough when he feels he is safe from retaliation.

However this next guys sounds like he knows what he is talking about. (Yes, that was a tongue in cheek remark.)

Jesse Griffin, who runs the Alaska-based website theimmoralminority.blogspot.com, told the Enquirer: 'Sarah Palin blasts the Hollywood elite as horrible people, but there's a danger voters will laugh at the jokes celebrities make about her in the movie.'

I still stand by that assessment.  I have heard that there have even been some chuckles from the die-hard Palin supporters at the jokes told at their idol's expense.  And when that is immediately followed by imagery such as this: "lions feasting on innocent zebras, a knight felled by one of countless arrows (fired by the leftist media, no doubt), a woman's corpse getting dirt thrown in its face. No shit." It makes it more than a little hard to take this film seriously.

However as hard as Tawd might be working to explain to Sister Sarah what a huge blunder she just made, her supporters, desperate for something to cling to, are pimping this film like it was the last two dollar whore on the Sunset Strip.

Team,

You can be the spark that becomes a grassroots revolution helping to ignite, solidify, inform, and unify Americans around the values that Sarah Palin represents, and, frankly, it isn't that terribly hard!.

Team Sarah wants to see The Undefeated become a BIG success and we are treating this like OPENING DAY in a long battle to promote the VALUES we see that Sarah Palin represents!
But, we need to ACT!

Please don't waste time.

Click on the link below and start purchasing your tickets for Opening Weekend July 15, 16, and 17:

We need to SELL OUT the evening shows on July 15th and 16th if you BELIEVE IN THE MESSAGING and VALUES OF THIS FILM. if you believe in Sarah Palin and the values she represents in the country today, now is YOUR CHANCE to stand up and make a HUGE IMPACT with what amounts to only a little effort.

The Undefeated needs strong attendance to roll out across the country in subsequent weeks. Your fellow Americans DESERVE to see this movie just like you did. Strong attendance, we believe, will also send a strong message to the liberal media elites and their political cronies- that Americans are hungry for REAL leaders who can navigate tough storms instead of sound-biting their way along to pander for votes or media support.

As one of Sarah Palin's supporters, only YOU can help make this happen!!!

So while "The Toad" is desperately trying to get his wife to move her ass as far away from this film as she can get before his overly botoxed money tree withers and dies, her crazed supporters are trying to get as many people to see this putrid turd of a film as possible.

You know, I could not have orchestrated this better if I'd tried.

Damn I'm having a good summer! How about you guys?

Update: It looks like Palin has taken to Facebook to refute this story.

Obviously we’ve seen our share of media lies, but the latest fabrications circulated take a big slice of the cake. The UK Daily Mail reports that I was “in tears” as Todd “rages over Hollywood stars ripping” me in the new film “The Undefeated.” Huh? Really?

Todd and I were overwhelmed with gratitude, and we hope everyone sees this film.

You know that THAT means don't you folks?  It means the National Enquirer was right on the money.

By the way here is the video that Palin refers to in her FB post.



Do you notice who is NOT standing next to her while she talks about how much she appreciates the movie?

Jimmy Kimmel sends Jake Byrd to cover "The Undefeated."

"Todd the Wad?"

OMGD that's funny!

Palin book signing designated EPIC FAIL, as venue empties out half hour early. Update!

Photo courtesy of MPR News

Courtesy of City Pages:

The rules set up by Mall of America officials for Sarah and Bristol Palin's book signing yesterday seemed to have been written in anticipation of an army of fans.

"'Camping out' is not allowed," the rules read. "Beginning at 5 a.m., guests will be allowed to line up."

But there was no teeming crowd of rabid Palinites at 5 a.m. And less than a half hour into the appearance of Bristol, Sarah, and Todd Palin, the crowd had dwindled to a trickle of latecomers.

Perhaps sensing that MOA's rotunda would not necessarily be mobbed by rabid Dancing with the Stars fans, Sarah Palin decided to tag along as well, revisiting the site where she was nearly tomatoed and signed a copy of our Michele Bachmann cover story "Going Crazy." 

Maybe she thought she had some star power. And Wednesday's rules stipulated that no one got Sarah Palin's autograph unless they bought Bristol's book.

Savvy. But by the time the Palins took the stage, one estimate put the number of autograph seekers at about 300 people, all lined up to be wanded and watched over by a phalanx of Bloominton cops before getting to the Palins' table.

At the end of the event, the MOA estimated that about 700 books had been signed. Perhaps the Palins simply sign books at a lightning pace, but the rotunda was deserted at least a half hour early.

This is usually where I add something snarky, but really what more is there to say?  Except perhaps, LOL!

Update: Here is video footage of the Palins premature departure from the event.



Who pays for all of that security? You can bet your ass Sister Sarah is not paying for it!

And did you notice they almost forgot the family prop that Bristol relies on to make her money?  Now that is just bad business sense!

I really feel bad for Piper Palin

Piper is dragged by her mother to all her speeches and campaign stops, is never in school, and her vacation got ruined.  But the name that Sarah and Todd gave her has to be the cruelest of all things done to her.

PIPER

INDY 

GRACE

 Piper's first three initials spell PIG.  That's right.  PIG.  Lipstick on a PIG.

Professor Brad Scharlott and Laura Novak continue their fascinating conversation over on Laura's blog.

Courtesy of Laura's blog:

LN: But let’s get back to the question of harm. What is the harm, Palin supporters ask, even if she did fake the birth of Trig?

BS: I would say that a pathology of fear has enveloped much of Alaska, especially the Wasilla area, over this issue. You have to remember that Sarah Palin is demonstrably ruthless, unethical, and vengeful – it’s good to keep in mind her campaign to destroy the career of Mike Wooten, her former brother-in-law. Plus, in the space of four weeks in late 2008 and early 2009, fires in Wasilla damaged Palin’s church and caused the death of a former neonatal nurse, Dar Miller. The church fire was due to arson; the cause of the fire at Miller’s home was not determined. Some people speculated that adoption records perished in the church fire, but I can find no confirmation of that.

There’s no evidence linking the Palins to those fires. But several Alaskans have told me that Wasilla residents fear they may suffer similar fates if they cross the Palins. Certainly Alaskans have good reason to fear they may lose their jobs if they anger Sarah Palin, as safety commissioner Walter Monaghan did when he refused to fire Mike Wooten. She may not be in power now, but many of her loyal appointees are.

LN: And I might add here that I know first hand about people who talk, and then clam up, because they know that people are whispering about them. I know about people in government putting pressure on reporters not to report. About newspaper reporters who were talking to me one day, and then shutting down the conversation the next.

BS: And then there are stories of people who know too much or said the wrong thing about the Palins, who then suffered vandalism or worse, such as the documented case of a car window being shot out while children were inside – the apparent reason: an anti-Palin personalized license place.

I would further argue, Laura, that this pathology of fear has spawned a pathology of deceit. You recently noted how all the reporters, editors and columnists at the Alaska Daily News have seemingly been told to sing from the same hymnal concerning the fake birth question – contradicting earlier actions by ADN staff – even though the newspaper provides no documentary evidence to support the claim that Palin birthed Trig. And as I’ve noted before, former ADN reporter Wes Loy, who famously wrote that Palin “simply does not look pregnant,” for some reason decided to recant, despite evidence I provided that directly contradicts his alleged change of heart.

I am reminded of the fall of Saddam Hussein. After the liberation of Iraq, Iraqis came forward to say how terrible it had been to live in a society where saying anything negative about Saddam could have fatal consequences, and that therefore they were careful, even before their own children, to never to speak too freely. Alaska is not Iraq, of course, but I am sure there are people in Alaska who likewise are afraid to say what they know about the Palins and who dissemble in front of their children, lest loose lips lead to horrible consequences.

Considering what I know about Sarah Palin I have NO problem with the Professor comparing her to Saddam Hussein, if we are talking about the heavy handed way they treat their subordinates and the fear that Palin was instilled in a handful of people living in Wasilla. But I must reiterate that I have NO evidence that either Todd or Sarah did anybody any physical harm.

Cause them to be fired, or damage their reputations? Yes. Cause them to lose their lives or suffer significant injury? No.

Having made that one point, I direct you to click the link and read the rest of this interesting back and forth conversation.  You might even see a name or two that you recognize.

Subject Baby

To the Sisters, Brother. Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends of Trig Paxson Van Palin (or whatever you end up naming him!):

I am blessing you with this surprise baby because I only want the best for you. I've heard your prayers that this baby will be happy and healthy, and I've answered them because I only want the best for you!

I heard your heart when you hinted that another boy would fit best in the Palin family, to round it out and complete that starting five line-up. Though another girl would be so nice, you didn't think you could ask for what you REALLY wanted, but I knew, so I gave you a boy because I only want the best for you!

Then, I put the idea in your hearts that his name should be "Trig", because it's so fitting, with two Norse meanings: *True' and "Brave Victory'. You also have a Bristol Bay relative with that name, so I knew it would be best for you!

Then, I let Trig's mom have an exceptionally comfortable pregnancy so she could enjoy every minute of it, and I even seemed to rush it along so she could wait until near the end to surprise you with the news - that way Piper wouldn't have so long to wait and count down so many days - just like Christmastime when you have to wait, impatiently, for that special day to finally open your gift? (Or the way the Palins look forward to birthday celebrations that go on for three, four day.. you all really like cake.) I know you, I knew you'd be better off with just a short time to wait!

Then, finally, I let Trig's mom and dad find out before he was born that this little boy will truly be a GIFT. They were told in early tests that Trig may provide more challenges, and more joy, than what they ever may have imagined or ever asked for. At first the news seemed unreal and sad and confusing. But I gave Trig's mom and dad lots of time to think about it because they needed lots of time to understand that everything will be OK, in fact, everything will be great, because I only want the best for you!

I've given Trig's mom and dad peace and joy as they wait to meet their new son. I gave them a happy anticipation because they asked me for that. I'll give all of you the same happy anticipation and strength to deal with Trig's challenges, but I won't impose on you.. I just need to know you want to receive my offer to be with all of you and help you everyday to make Trig's life a great one.

This new person in your life can help everyone put things in perspective and bind us together and get everyone focused on what really matters. The baby will expand your world and let you see and feel things you haven't experienced yet. He'll show you what 'true, brave victory" really means as those who love him will think less about self and focus less on what the world tells you is 'normal' or "perfect'. You will grow and be blessed with greater understanding that will be born along with Trig.

Trig will be his dad's little buddy and he'll wear Carhartts while he learns to tinker in the garage. He'll love to be read to, he'll want to play goalie, and he'll steal his mom's heart just like Track, Bristol, Willow and Piper did, And Trig will be the cuddly, innocent, mischievous, dependent little brother that his siblings have been waiting for..in fact Trig will - in some diagnostic ways - always be a mischievous, dependent little brother, because I created him a bit different than a lot of babies born into this world today .

Every child is created special, with awesome purpose and amazing potential. Children are the most precious and promising ingredient in this mixed up world you live in down there on earth. Trig is no different, except he has one extra chromosome. Doctors call it "Down's and Downs kids have challenges, but can bring you much delight and more love than you can ever imaginel Just wait and see, let me prove this, because I only want the best for you!

Some of the rest of the world may not want him, but take comfort in that because the world will not compete for him. Take care of him and he will always be yours! Trig's mom and dad don't want people to focus on the baby's extra chromosome. They're human, so they haven't known how to explain this to people who are so caring and are interested in this new little Alaskan. Sarah and Todd want people to share in the joy of this gift I'm giving to the Palin family, and the greater Alaska family. Many people won't understand..and I understand that. Some will think Trig should not he allowed to be born because they fear a Downs child won't be considered "perfect" in your world. (But tell me, what do you earthlings consider "perfect" or even "normal" anyway? Have you peeked down any grocery store isle, or school hallway, or into your office lunchroom lately? Or considered the odd celebrities you celebrate as "perfect" on Have you noticed I make 'em all shapes and sizes? Believe me, there is no 'perfect"!)

Many people will express sympathy, but you don't want or need that, because Trig will be a joy. You will have to trust me on this. I know it will take time to grasp this and come to accept that I only Want the best for you, and I only give my best. Remember though: "My ways are not your ways, my thoughts are not your for as the heavens are higher than the earth, my ways are higher than yours!"

I wrote that all down for you in the Good Book! Look it up! You claim that you believe me - now it's time to live out that belief!

Please look to me as this new challenge and chapter of life unfolds in front of you. I promise to equip you. I won't give you anything you can't handle. I am answering your prayers. Trig can't wait to meet you. I'm giving you ONLY THE BEST!

Love,
Trig's Creator, Your Heavenly Father

 

All charges against Shailey Tripp dropped

From Shailey's blog

Alot happens so quickly. Last week I had my sinus surgery and this week I had my court date.
I was blessed today. My court date went great. The charges were dismissed and that was amazing news for  my life.

But now I am free to talk about Todd Palin. What was so special about me and him? Why was my name  put with his?

To put it simply Todd Palin along with other people recruit and groom men and women to be prostitutes. These prostitutes are eventually given positions inside a company and used to secure business deals. These business deals often involve obtaining military and government contracts. The people who use the prositution services are usually in positions of power.

I have witnessed this first hand and am speaking from my own personal experiences.

You may choose to believe me or choose not to.I simply do not care at this point. I used to think Sarah Palin knew nothing of these kinds of things but I've had a year to think it over very carefully, and I am now convinced Sarah Palin not only knew of these actions but went through great lengths to cover it up. I even go so far as to say I would bet the men involved around Sarah Palin's politcal career were offered to be treated to these kinds of prostitution services. I would love to have a private chat with Frank Bailey someday.

Why would I say this? Because it is wrong, it is horrible, and the people that are getting paid for sex services are groomed for these positions and stuck with it for a long long time. They are even made to think it is a great life and their idea to do it. It is very hard to get out of and scary to stand up to the people providing the clients and gicing you the money. The way this is done is clever and very very hard to prosecute in a court of law. Phones, disposable numbers, computers, and databases are kept of clients needs, sexual preferences, lengths of sessions, contact info and any personal info they may disclose during a session.Sometimes sessions are even taped. Sometimes the buildings of where these sessions are offered are also taped and i don;t mean by law enforcement. Federal employees and military employees know of these services and often use them in sealing a deal. These prostitutes are recruited from all over the U.S. and taken overseas or brought in on planes around the country.

This has to stop. The people doing this are very powerful. I know this sounds very hokey and it is part of the reason people in it do not speak up and fear for the people they love to be hurt if they do speak up. This has been going on for a very long time and has become very sophisticated with new technologies.

I am hoping by me coming forward, that more people will gain the strength and courage to speak up. I hope and dream and pray that people offered these services will speak out; I hope that former clients who know it is wrong will speak out,  I hope that the prostitutes themselves will start to speak out. The main problem is who do they tell?? I couldn't tell anyone because the local police, and FBI were in on this wonderful secret, as well as many employees of MAJOR corporations, and members of the clergy. Who the hell would I speak up to??? And no, not every single person was corrupt and yes there were some amazing police officers in Alaska.

Yes I had sex with Todd Palin, yes he paid me for those services. But there was so much more to it.
That is why this story has been buried and why MSM will not touch it. No one wants to accuse Todd Palin of criminal activity. Well I am and I am telling all of you who read this he was involved and I hope it will stop.

HOLY SHIT!

So Todd was involved in a prostitution ring to help Sarah get good business deals as governor?  Shailey if you are reading this you need to get to the MSM now!  Take all evidence you have that the cops did not destroy, make about four extra copies, give to friends and put a copy in your safe deposit box in case something happens to you.

Shailey Tripp had her last court appearance today, and her charges have all been dropped. Now the fun begins.

From Shailey's blog:

My court date went great. The charges were dismissed and that was amazing news for my life.

Some of you have asked me for more information about Shailey, however until today's court appearance she was not terribly comfortable saying things on the record that she had told me in confidence.

Today that all changed.

And by the way, for all of you who keep trying to suggest that Shailey is less than believable, all I have to say is that much of what she has told me was backed up by the court records and e-mails which she shared with me, and that the National Enquirer has consistently expressed total confidence in her story, as well as stating that they polygraphed her multiple times and she passed every one with flying colors.

If she can back up these claims, which she swears she can, this may be just as big of a scandal as babygate.

If they are false, then Sarah and Todd Palin will have no choice but to respond to them.
And just when you thought this summer could not get any better.

Sarah Palin e-mails are being released today-Update

As you already know Sarah Palin's e-mails are being released by MSNBC at 1 pm Eastern time today (9 am Alaska time).  Unfortunately I will not be at the computer when they are released so I will post some of them tomorrow.

Update-Sylvia Wood and Bill Dedman from MSNBC lived blogged their findings.  Here is the link to the e-mails.  Happy reading!

For those who have been asking "Where's Willow!" Here's Willow.

This is amateur video taken during a "Celebrity Race" in Wasilla, on June 4th, which was the day after her mother was caught on camera arriving at an Arizona airport with Piper.

The Willow portion begins at the 10:20 mark, and includes a rather pathetic interview with the "Wild Child of Wasilla."  This video is not exactly earth shattering news or anything, but it does serve to prove that while Sarah hides out in Scottsdale, Arizona, part of her family is getting as far away from her after that ridiculous bus trip as possible while still remaining in North America.



I think Todd is here as well, but have heard of no sightings to confirm that so far. I have also not heard anything about Trig.

(Psst! Hey Willow! We are really counting on YOU to write the tell all story of your family.  You just let your Uncle Gryphen know when you are ready to start work on that, and I promise I will get you a book deal that will get you so much money it will make both your sister's and mother's book sales look pathetic by comparison. And you can take THAT to the bank!)

Wrapping up the Sarah Palin One Nation Bus Tour

It was a failure!  It proved she is still not presidential material.

She and her family showed up uninvited to the Rolling Thunder Rally, then pushed her way to the front of the motorcade.

The driver of her bus is a safety menace, almost killed a bicyclist.

Daughter Piper was rude to reporters and even body checked one.

Sarah lied or was ignorant about Paul Revere and who he was warning.

Sarah also upstaged Mitt Romney while he was announcing his presidential bid.

Todd and Bristol got the hell out of Dodge as soon as they could.

Sarah and Bristol left their children at home. Bad mothers.

The only thing Sarah and her family did on this trip was confirm they are still trash.
