A picture tells a thousand words. Here are six. What story do they tell?

Sometimes it is the simple things that give away the truth.

Like hair length for instance.

On the campaign trail.

From Vanity Fair: The first thing Sarah said to me at the hotel was “You gotta cut your hair.” I told her I didn’t want to—I had a mullet at the time—but she finally got me to do it.

But wait, isn't that a mullet? If Tripp was born on December 27, 2008 then this can only be about what.....three or four months later? March, April, or perhaps May? And isn't that ring on his finger the one he lost way back in the summer of 2008? And which was the reason he got the ring tattoo that he sported on the campaign trail in September?

But Levi was on the Tyra Banks show at the beginning of April. Where is the mullet, and sideburns?

Oh wait! Here is Levi with newborn baby Tripp, I guess he DID have short hair.


Except now it looks like Mercede's hair is an issue. As well as her clothes and earrings.


Same outfit, same hairstyle, same baby. But who is the baby?

There now I have given you plenty of evidence to work with, and have NOT gone back on my word to my sources. Hopefully this will provide food for thought to those who are genuinely trying to make sense of things, and give the visitors with a different agenda a little fright.

Don't think that just because I am being given conflicting information that I have lost the trail. Oh no my friends, not I. If I were the judge in a certain custody trial I would be demanding a birth certificate before I would allow one more legal paper to get filed in this case. I am just saying.

  1. Did you mean to say here is Levi with newborn baby TRIPP?

    Lots of food for thought.

    Where's the mullet? Levi was a hockey player; he ought to know what a mullet is. There's no mullet in any of those pix... but, daym... that Mercedes is one pretty girl. Betcha s'error wishes she was as pretty. Or young.

  3. Oh sorry-- I forgot that the Tyra show mislabeled the Trig picture.

    I thought all of those with the same baby were of Trig. Seems like I saw them labeled as such at another site a long time ago. I don't think they were ever supposed to be Tripp. I'm talking about the ones in the Palin's kitchen.

  8. Yes you are correct, Mercede said later that she gave the Tyra show some pictures that were of Trig, and not Tripp.

    So I am to assume that she sorted through them, picked the ones she THOUGHT were of Tripp, flew with them to the Tyra show, and just handed pictures of her and her brother lovingly holding selfish Sarah's newborn baby as if he were part of THEIR family by accident?

    Well I guess I could take that at face value.

    If I were the judge I'd be ordering DNA AND birth records. STAT!!!

    My mother was a Midwife for over thirty years: It was up to the parents to getting around to filing for a birth certificate: IF they even bothered at all...but from the brighter times of the hippy era; not this backwoods incest hillbilly sheeit...

    Ha! I had an English teacher in high school whose father, who was from Mississippi if I remember correctly, not only never had a birth certificate, his parents never even NAMED him. When he started school he just called himself Jack after his dog. (His parents generally called him "Bub.")

    Yeah, it's pretty farfetched to think that Sadie accidentally brought the wrong pictures.

  13. Gryphen there ya go again, throwing out those nasty little FACTS. Seems strange that Bristol and Sarah would invite Mercede over to their house to hold T1 but not allow her to go to the hospital to see T2 who according to all involved is her brothers child, her nephew.
    By the way, if I had to guess I would put the baby in the photos at about 5 lbs.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Is there any way we can contact the judge in the custody case to make sure she knows something is fishy here, and recommend that she clarifies it? Is there an address where we can write to her?

    If the case is public, and she requires birth certificates/DNA and then it is suddenly settled/sealed -- well there we will have it!!

    That is Trig...DS babies have a very deep verticle crease between their great toe and the next as seen in these pictures. Notice the outward fold on his ear...as he has now. This is not the fat baby the Heath's were holding at the hospital on the day they said he was born! This is an obvious preemie some time after it was safe to take him out of the incubator and he was breathing on his own and not needing oxygen for his heart defect. Still lacking cheek fat in this picture. I still think it was taken in the hospital setting...note on door, typical patient closet behind them and sink close by. What is with the baby foot prints on that one picture...found in OB hospital setting? Many chairs look alike. As their house looks like the sports center! I'm sitting here looking at a picture of my premmie grand daughter and has same physical appearance and she was 4 pounds at birth but without the thick neck and droopy ears. Takes a while for the tongue, eyes and nose to look suspicious. First thing we did when receiving a baby at birth, was to check hands and feet for DS folds..on any baby, as other signs may not be obvious at birth. That was before amniocentesis and other modern testing ie ultrasounds, etc. We were more concerned when the mother was 35+ years, but occurred in younger mothers too. This is definately a DS baby by just what is visiable in these pictures.

    Note the Carhart Baby biboveralls in the photo with the ring shown in Daily Show interview in April, also the same on Bristol's Daily Show interview in June? Wouldn't he have outgrown that outfit? Also, one day of the convention, Trigg also wore a similar color biboveralls, but I can't see the tag on the front because he is sleeping on Bristol.

  17. So the significant photo here is the second one, right?

    I am SO confused. That photos seems out of chronological order. Like it had to be taken in 2008, if that is the ring and hair from 2008. BUT that baby is DEFINITELY Tripp, not Trig. And Tripp wasn't born until Dec. 2008.

    We already knew the photos of Levi and Mercedes in the Palin kitchen were of Trig. Mercedes gave us that clue not once, but twice (MySpace post, Tyra show).

    BUT WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH TRIPP?!

    okay, what is it with thumb rings? Mercedes appears to display them on both hands.

    So, a gold band on Levi's thumb doesn't necessarily mean it was his actual wedding ring, aren't thumb bigger than ring fingers?

    But who the heck knows. I don't follow sports, are AK hockey guys into extra jewelry? Did he perhaps borrow or buy another ring a ring to wear in order to make good with Bristol?

    Bree Palin's site has a pic (from the greta interview) of Levi with a much smaller baby but with ring on Levi's thumb AND a hospital ident strip on his wrist. So the thumb ring may have been worn in early months of 2009 (before the official "breakup" of Bristol and Levi.

    The first one is the baby we know as Tripp (T2)
    and the other pics are of T1 that we know as TriG.
    T1 looks like TriG and T2 looks like Tripp (Bristol, he looks like Bristol)
    Obviously Levi and Mercede are very loving to T1...TriG.
    Or was he Tripp then? And Sarah with her Fabulous sense of humor...named him TriG...after his condition...TRIsomy-G. You know she didn't do all the scrabble playin' for nothin' you betcha :)
    You know "bring me the kid, not the retarded one"...! Maybe Trig was born earlier...they said he had a heart condition, maybe he went back to the hospital...(after the Levi & Merced "Triggy bear"pic)And was in ICU until 4-18-08 when he was scheduled to leave...and Sarah had been eating those crunch wrap supremes like crazy and wearing her scarf, and square pillow (and doing secret adoption papers) on 4-18-08 Trig was delivered to her...and she as his LEGAL (adoptive)mom brought him home...
    to live happily every after...and Levi, Mercedes and Sherry were banned to talk about Tripp who is now TriG.
    And now T2 Sarah is trying to take him away from Levi and his family, because she is a greedy bitch. And if she has control of T2 it is the only way to shut the Johnston family up. Bristol gets custody, Levi's family can see T2 as long as they stay silent.
    Bitch!

    Following up on last thread: Bristol LLC. Bristol may have written (by hand) some thank you notes in response to gifts received last year. That's good PR, thank you very much.

    Can anyone explain the significance of Mercede's thumb ring (like the one Levi wore??)

    That baby looks like a premie, maybe 5 pounds. And, Gryphen, you might want to add Mercede's comments which we are still puzzling over: Triggy Bear, best baby brother, and Mommy in law, family love (I'm just guessing here). Thanks

    Not to be a spoiler, but I seem to remember hearing about Levi going on a hunting trip after the election (that fall or winter). It could explain the long hair. He cut it for the campaign and then didn't cut it again for a long time.

    Gryphen, what changes do you see in Mercedes clothing? I see a hair highlight and earring change. All of which could have happened the same day. The highlight could have been underneath in some pics.

    The earring deal. I think she is wearing two different earrings in both pics, and just switched them from side to side. This was taken on digital camera, she may have looked at a taken pic and decided to make changes.

    They also decided to clean up the counter background after the Levi pic. Was he there in Scarah's kitchen before Scarah got home for her pic? Britol and Scarah's look very much the same and even perhaps taken on a different higher quality camera.

    How cute: Sarah is wearing her short shorts – all the way up to THERE – while her would-be son-in-law stops by for a visit, deliberately adding to the seduction by posing for the photo and realizing the probability of its wider distribution, knowing that she is already a (media-hungry) public figure. And by the way, she does NOT look like anyone who just delivered either of the babies in the photos. And just in case one or more of the photos was taken in late 2007 or very early 2008, nor does she look like anyone already 5 months' pregnant. Maybe she is wearing short shorts only because: HER PANTS ARE ALREADY ON FIRE!

  36. This is a mullet. Levi just needs a trim.

  37. The last 3 photo's are of "Trig" not Tripp. That is where Levi should be showing a "mullet" hairstyle (you know the one, business up front ~ party in the back or short in front, long in back) which is just not the case, in fact, Levi's hair seems shorter in the last 3 photo's than in the first one's.

    If Sarah has told Levi that he needed a haircut in time for his appearence for the convention, it is highly doubtful that his hair would have grown into a mullet length in time from when those last 3 photo's (last 3 which are of Trig) were taken (supposedly in April of '08).

    ReplyDelete
  38. The Triggybear pics, all four of them are taken in the Palin kitchen. Sadie posted these on her site. Not sure if we can discern the date these were taken or posted, as the sites were scrubbed by campaign staff. It is my opinion that these were taken some time in the first quarter of 2008. Maybe if we search archives on the various blogs, we can date these a little better.

    The next pic, if I could rearrange them into chronological order would be the second from the top. Levi has a thumb ring, the baby is now several months older than he was in the Triggybear pics. Levi has not had a haircut since the baby was born. He is well on his way to growing his mullet. These pics would be second quarter 2008. The baby is growing nicely and may be 3 months or so older than in the kitchen shots.

    Next in my order, Bristol and Levi, around Sept 1, 2008. Just prior to the photo, Levi was hauled out of the woods and had his first haircut in a long time.

    Last in this series is Levi with Tyra. He kept his hair neatly cut. He has long since lost the ring and Tyra is checking out the tatoo. April 2009.

    To me, it is the same baby in this series of 5 photos that include a baby. Tripp was not born yet.

    The only thing that I am struggling with - the baby does not really look like Trigg at the RNC.

    A birth certif for the 2008-2009 baby is probably not a problem. The custody case is for that baby. A birth certif for the 2007-2008 baby probably IS a problem, but the custody case judge has no justifiable reason for asking for that birth certif.

    Not thinking that the custody case is going to break the 2007-2008 baby story. No s-storm there.

  45. I just looked at the photo Bree has up on her post. Levi, with a hospial ID bracelet on his left wrist, wedding band on his left thumb, holding up a newborn. This now becomes #1 in the series, according to chronology.

    The newborn looks to be about the same size as Triggybear in the kitchen, Levi's hair looks to be the same length and just focusing on Levi's appearance, the hospital shot looks to me to have been taken only days apart.

    So, this baby was born in a hospital, Levi was present, identified by bracelet to be the father and days letter the baby is Triggybear in the Palin's kitchen. The only one who looks remotely postpartum is Bristol. Her face looks full, otherwise based on her positioning and clothing, not much can be said.

  57. Anon at 8:27. Palin's Deceptions analyzed the pictures with Mercede and the Palin women with the chair in the corner. Thanks to an interview Sarah gave they are proven to have been taken in the Palin kitchen. They were posted by Mercede on her facebook or my space page (sorry forgot which) no later than May 2008. That is not a typo. NLT 3 months prior to Sarah being picked by McCain. They are referred to as the Triggy Bear pictures because of Mercede's caption. The picture of Levi, baby & Mercede in the same chair and room did not surface until the Tyra interview in 2009. It was included in a series of pictures of the baby known as Tripp. But it HAD to have been taken earlier than Dec 2008.

  64. Levi was sporting the grungy look from the time of the hospital pic up through the RNC clean up. Once cleaned up, he stayed cleaned up. Once he lost the ring, he got a tatoo.

    Pic 2 and the flickr pic linked above show a baby that to me looks like the baby being held in the kitchen, aka Triggybear, just a few months older. But, again, that baby does not look like Trigg and that baby can't be Tripp. So, who is that baby?

    That looks to me like the abdomen of someone who recently had a baby.

    She is wearing a belt; that is because she is feeling 'slim' after being pregnant (even though she really isn't slim)

    If she is pregnant, with Trip-Trap then it's early and hidden under the Trig-Trick leftover flab.

    This is getting too complicated. The whole one baby theory is a red herring. It simply doesn't make sense given the recent custody battle, which is very real. Whoever is feeding you this recent stuff is stringing you along, Gryphen. The simpler explanation is that Sarah faked her pregnancy to be able to adopt Trig who was actually born a few months earlier than they'd claimed. Then Bristol got pregnant again and this baby they kept. Even the Sarah faked a pregnancy is ridiculous on its face, but I've come to believe it's true b/c there's too much smoke out there for there not to be a fire, but these Tripp birther conspiracies are too much. Not buying it.

    Sarah would. People who exhibit narcissistic behaviors are absolutely sure that everyone--including judges and a jury-- will buy their version of events and they will triumph. Sarah lied to McCain's people, the citizens of Alaska, and all of America; I don't think she will have any problem lying to a judge. Bristol is just being dragged along on her mother's delusional revenge campaign.

    Anyone who has ever had the misfortune to know a narcissist will understand this scenario is absolutely possible. If it sounds crazy, it is because these people are seriously mentally disturbed.

    Not even the new mothers I've known who have as many doting relatives, and have enjoyed the 24/7 help that $P claims, appear in their postpartum photos freshly coiffed, smoothly made-up, and appearing as though they've had a full night's sleep. with plenty of time to shave their legs, etc. Of course, the general opinion here is that $P did NOT give birth in spring 2008. But wouldn't it have seemed prudent for $P to appear a teensy bit frazzled for her close-up, Mr. DeMille?

    Since I first saw this photo so long ago, my opinion is unchanged: $P believes this photo "proves" her self-declared "supermom" status. Doesn't she think, even for an instant, that someone, anyone, will question her Six-Week Miracle Pregnancy, the tininess of the baby displayed here (whoEVER the hell he is...), and compare it with the chubby-cheeked Trig on his April 21, 2008, roll-out? And unfortunately I have to say "roll-out," as though Trig were a product. Because that's exactly how $P views him.

    There's been a lively discussion of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) over at Palingates, and how the tell-tale list of symptoms compare with $P's behavior. $P's "magical thinking" (whatever I say is true), and her vanity that prohibits her from APPEARING that she might have actually given birth, unfortunately confirms my layman's diagnosis of NPD for $P. The people around her are the ones to suffer.

    One more thing to consider re: rings

    In the April 2009 issue of Esquire http://www.esquire.com/features/todd-palin-bio-0509-5, which features a reporter's impressions from several days observing Todd Palin et al. in December 2008 and January 2009, we get reference to another ring, this time a "wedding ring" stuck on Levi's finger. We also get the sense that Levi is pretty present in the Palin household from this small snippet (in contrast to Sarah's claims that he was hardly around). I've quoted the relevant passage below:

    Gryph, I don't think your clues suck at all. They just confirm what I have known all along - that Bristol and Levi are Trig's parents. Trig was not born in April '08, but earlier, in Jan. or Feb., possibly as early as Dec. '07. When it was discovered that he was Down's, that's when Sarah came up with her scheme. By pretending to give birth to Trig, she was saving Bristol from the disgrace of being an unwed mother, as well as giving her political career a boost and gaining support with Christian groups that was so very important for her in order to be picked for the vice presidency spot. Remember, she had hired an agency to promote her for that very job. Bristol could have easily been pregnant with Tripp by late spring/early summer (I'm not so sure he was actually born in Dec."08, more likely in Jan. '09).

    Keep up the good work, Gryph! The truth needs to come out.

    Here is the clue that Gryphen has given us (please tell me if I am wrong, Gryphen):
    The baby in the picture with Levi is labelled as Tripp. We all associated that baby with the series of pictures from Mercede's My Space Triggy Bear set with Bristol and Mommy In Law. Tripp.

    Palingates has a series of baby pictures that compare "Tripp" or "Triggybear" to a 6 pound baby. The Palin baby is much smaller, probably premature.

    I am going to go out on a limb and say that something happened to the Tripp/Triggybear baby. Maybe fetal alcohol syndrome, maybe too much party life style on the part of his parents, maybe he was just born too soon. But he is clearly connected to the Johnston family. And he does not look like the plump-cheeked baby that the Heath's are holding (also can be viewed at Palinages).

    My guess is that Sarah was already in full "pregnancy" mode. She was getting positive feedback from backers like Focus on the Family complimenting her on her choice to keep the baby in spite of her governor and family duties. She would be a good spokesperson for family values.

    If something happened the Tripp/Triggy Bear baby, the doctor and/or church could have found a replacement, Trigg the DS child, who has turned out to be a big political asset. (Since he is such a political bonus, that must qualify Bristol to be a political consultant).

DId Bristol fake her April '08 - December '08 pregnancy just to 'prove' that Sarah was Trig's mom? Do the inconsistencies with Levi's ring and hair stem from the fact that the picture's of him and Tripp are not from early 2009 but from early 2008 following Tripp's actual birth? Did Sarah adopt Trig just to get the VP nomination? Wow, so much food for thought....

    Palin's elected ability does not go beyond a PTA office. Upon learning of her nomination for national office, my first thought was to learn something about her. Simple internet searches showed me a person with really bizarre dress and appearance. I shared with friends thoughts such as "What professional woman wears French nails?" "What professional woman wears her hair like that?" And, the clothes! Simple searches made me aware of the "gates" in her small town provincial life. It all made sense for a local person, but not for one seeking national office. My point? We have a lot of thanks to give to the bloggers who dogged Palin's trail for the truth. The bloggers exposed Palin as unfit for national office -- probably any local office as well -- she's probably best suited for cheerleader advisor at the local high school. She rose to elected office because of circumstances and her looks in relatively tiny voting demographics. These photos show nothing. There's no mullet. There's a person who needs a hair cut, but no mullet. We have to be careful that we want Palin to fall so badly that we manufacture thoughts for things that just aren't there. Palin's life & family is just so bizaree that we have plenty to expose. Dysfunctional families do bizaree things. They don't necessarily tell lies, they're just so bizarre their reality is unrecognizable or disturbing to others. Case in point. . . We've made much of Sarah improperly dressing Trig while displaying him on the book tour. How about the photo of Levi, standing on the stump, holding up a baby without pants on? Those little legs were surely cold, and that was Levi -- not Sarah. Maybe the Palins, Johnstons, and the Heaths, are just a bunch of hillbillies and that's just the way they are.

    What is becoming very obvious to me is that Palin's plan to fake her Trig pregnancy didn't come until after Trig was born.

    I think the fact of Trig having DS went a long way towards Palin's decision to claim the baby as her own. It solved a lot of problems for her. It gave her right-wing and pro-life creds. It hid the embarrassment of having an unwed underage teenage which could have seriously undermined her chances to be picked a McCain's running mate to cement the ultra-conservative right-wing base.

    This also puts a lot of perspective on Levi's revelation that Palin begged them to let her adopt their baby. I'm pretty sure it was Trig she was begging them for. The question is, did she ever adopt Trig formally? Perhaps not.

    I don't think the teenagers pictured here were keen on giving this obviously loved baby to Grandma. It wasn't until the day after McCain won the nomination that Sarah announced her mind-boggling news - she was 7 months pregnant!

    I think between Trig's real birth and Palin's surprise pregnancy announcement Palin worked overtime convincing Bristol that letting her claim Trig as hers would be to everyone's benefit.

    I think Trig was born in Jan or Feb of 2008. They went to great lengths to keep him and Bristol hidden until his 'birth' in April 2008 and I think Palin worked hard on Bristol and Levi convincing them that it was to everyone's benefit, especially Trig's, that she should be Trig's mother and that only good things would come to the family if she were selected to run for VPOTUS.

  93. It hit me like a thunderbolt while reading the blogs....
    Tripp and Trig are TWINS! Sarah adopted the baby with Downs, and let Bristol and Levi keep the "normal" one! She used all the arguments about health care, a lifetime of challenges etc to get her way.
    I think the babies were born Dec 2007.
    The second "faked" pregnancy (Bristol's) was to cover up the first faked pregnancy by Sarah!
    When little Tripp and Trig were interchangeable for photo ops, but as the Downs became more noticeable that had to stop.

    The so called "Tripp" we have been seeing is a stand in baby. Palins figuring that as Tripp and Trig get older the closer in size they can become without people seeing a year difference in ages. This explains why when we saw Bristol and the twin stroller on the 4th of July, people asked why Tripp and Trig were almost the same size, when at that point Tripp was "supposed to be 6 months old" and Trig was a year old!
    The "Stand in" Baby we have heard about was only a temporary stand in for a year and then it was rarely!
    So the court papers are not a lie, Levi and Bristol are fighting over custody, but of only ONE of the twins!!!
    That is also why, Bristol doesn't want "Unnecessary" medical records released!

    As others have stated, with the exception of the "family feud" photo above, these photos are with Trig. They were discovered and examined extensively long before Tripp was born. The fact that Mercede gave a Trig photo for Tyra Banks to use on her show was noticed immediately. Hard to say if it was intentional or not, it seemed at the time to be a message of sorts to those who were trying to get to the bottom of this whole thing. It just hit me, though, and it probably has been stated by others....Levi and Bristol very well could have named the baby we know publicly as Trig, Tripp. That could still, in fact, be his legal name. The only discrepancy on those court papers would be the birthdate, then, but that is a HUGE discrepancy. I don't know what Bristol would be calling the baby we know as Tripp, either.

  97. I think that Gryphen was telling us to focus on Levi for dating the pics. Specifically, look at Levi's hair, ring and tatoo on his finger. While we do not have enough information to specifiy dates, we can put them in chronological order. The kitchen pics are all taken at the same time and they are all the same baby. They were posted by Mercede on her MySpace page in May 2008. She called the baby Triggybear.

    From 2008:
    You have to go to multiple places to get all the pics to put into the chrono. The hospital pic with Levi wearing a hospital bracelet, the kitchen pics come next. Then Gma and Gpa Heath with a 6 pound 6 week old. Then Sarah and Todd with the newborn (really 6 weeks old). Then Levi, looking even more grungy with the baby in the tan colored overalls, then next we go to the convention. Then we see a lot of Trigg.

    From 2009:
    Finally in Feb 2009 we see another newborn, Tripp. Then we have Levi's photo shoot for either Esquire or Vanity Fair, don't remember which - he is in a hotel with a naked baby boy.

    Compare:
    The magazine photo from early 2009. Compare it to the 2008 photos of Levi with a similarly sized baby in pic 2 and the Flickr links found in comments to this post.

    I contend that what you will see is Levi with each of the babes, taken approx one year apart when the babes were approx same size. Levi is grungy in 2008 and all cleaned up in 2009.

    The one point is the 2008 baby the same baby as Trigg at the convention. Maybe someone can help with that.

    Sometime in the last year there was a photo of Levi with his sister posing with their guns out in the woods. In this photo Levi definitely had a ginormous bushy mullet. I don't remember the supposed date of the photo, but was pre-baby times.

    So, maybe sometime before the birth of the first baby, and when it became apparent that Levi was going to become an in-law...Sarah requested he get rid of the animal on his head (never mind her own hair rats).

    I think Levi refers to real events, but obviously not necessarily accurate time lines.

    Did we ever determine if Levi was around for Tripp's birth (the second baby)? He was up on the slope; he was living with the Palin's, they were parenting their butts off.

    Levi could also wear a hospital bracelet if the baby was returned to the hospital for any kind of treatment. There are all kinds of things that could bring a baby back to the hospital for an overnight stay.

    To quote Ricky Ricardo: "Aye-yai-yai!" Someone really will have some splainin' to do once the s**t hits the electric rotary cooler. I'm usually very good at researching/sleuthing out pix, etc., but this scenario has me baffled. But I am wondering why the last pic of Mercede and SP with T1 is in digital sepia rather than color like the others? To confuse things and make it look like it's from a different day? To a casual viewer, it could appear as such, and therefore suggest it was taken at the time of T2 rather than T1.

    Here's a thought - If Trig and Tripp have the same parents (Bristol and Levi), they could look a lot alike - hence it would be difficult to tell them apart in pictures.

    I believe that Bristol gave birth to Trig in early 2008 and after he was born, it was discovered he had DS. I know it's unusual for a teen to have a DS baby, but it does happen. During the past year, TWO young women, both in their early twenties had DS babies in my town. What are the chances?? Anyway, after the DS was diagnosed, Sarah came up with her plan and was suddenly pregnant in March 2008. Bristol got pregnant again and had Tripp in Dec. 2008 or Jan. 2009. End of story.

    I think Gryphen loves getting everyone confused and totally enjoys sitting back reading all these comments. I think it's time for Gryphen to tell us what he knows! In other words, SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT!! I'm just saying...

The odds are far greater for an older woman to have a DS baby, but so many more babies are born to young women than to older ones, that the bulk of DS Moms are young women. According to the DS organization.

    The last 4 pictures with Mercedes and Levi are pictures of the FIRST baby (whatever his name is Triggybear, the one we know as Trig. I saw them on Mercede's My space right after Sarah was picked by McCain and then they were scrubbed. This was when the rumors started flying and before it was announced Bristol was Preg with Levis baby. Why do people insist they are Tripp, someone is trying to confuse the timeline of said photos. Why???

  128. I think the reason SP brought up the subject of amnio was that the bioMom of Trig (Bristol, IMHO) had an amnio. It served to reveal the DS, but the reason SP had the amnio done was to harvest DNA so she could have before-birth paternity info. ASAP! Rather than waiting for the far easier (and non-invasive) post-birth DNA paternity testing, which requires only a cheek swab rather than a needle stuck into the uterus to pull out some amniotic fluid.

    Im getting tired....tired...tired of the whole thing. Either the details will come or they won't.
    Frankly, I believe the bloggers already know the story, but just keep dragging this on and on. Kinda like a game of..."Guess Who Done It". We know, but won't tell.
    Gotcha!

    I have a 9yo daughter with Down Syndrome. She absolutely looks like her family more than she looks like other children with DS. She could pass as a twin for her year older sister if not for the "slight" Down's features. If I knew how to show photos here I would link you up and you'd be blown away. She looks more like our family every year in fact.
    I call BS on anyone who is spewing hurtful false information about Down Syndrome. You do nothing to help this whole cause.

    Furthermore, my daughter was born 6weeks early at 7lbs (yes! huge for being so early!) AND had a heart defect that needed NO MEDICAL TREATMENT...and she came home with me two days after birth.

    That said, I feel absolutely certain, without a shadow of a doubt, that Sarah did not birth Trig, and I feel almost as certain that Bristol DID....so I am on your side.

    I just can't stand to see these ignorant comments about Down Syndrome again and again.

  131. Why does it look like Sarah has bare legs, wearing shorts in December? Does she think she has such great legs that she needs to show them off? She is just so bizarre.

    Anon @ 8.53- yeah, actually I've heard of twins born with one a D.S. baby and the other one a typical baby.
    I wonder if anyone has considered the possibility of Irish twins: one conceived shortly after the other was born.

    Tripp, Trig... what if the whiteout story in SP's book was NOT to cover up an abortion but to cover up a baby name switch? "Oh, the hospital got the name wrong and whited it out, just like they did on my insurance form when I had a perfectly pro-life miscarriage!"
    Oh, and to Jon at 30 below or whatever... people with sloppy, dirty secrets put themselves in court or in the public eye all the time, with enough narcissism to believe no one will out them in public. Reality stars with porn pasts, mug shots etc... SP and family have gotten away with a whole lotta bad behavior up till now, so I'm sure they're confident that they can get away with more.

    In the picture of Sarah with Mercede, does Sarah look like a 45 year old woman who just gave birth to her 5th child? Sarah is extremely vain. If she really had just given birth, she would still be carrying some "baby weight" and would not be comfortable parading around in shorts, especially in front of Levi and Mercede.

    Oh god my head hurts. This lady is a one woman wrecking crew. Everything and everybody she gets near is destroyed. I hope someone will help her kids and grandchildren. I hope this is going to be a wonderful, informative year for progressives.

  136. Levi had short hair in the TriggyBear photos in Spring 2008.

    Could he really have grown a "mullet" in the 4 months between those photos and the RNC photos where Sarah asked him to cut his hair for the convention photos?

    I agree! Perfect timing for Mercede to create more deception.

    By the way, are you the Anon who posted on Gryphen's MSNBC Custody thread?

  138. AHhhhhhhhhh....Palin clan is making everyone as looney as they are. Premier American Side Show of the Century. If we knew all the truth (dirt). I don't even care what terrible truth is unveiled that probably circles around Trig or Bristol. Pierce the boil already.

    Enough already. I just want the goods on Palin to be told as she is the biggest political fraud I've seen. Like a walking, wind-up , made for Fox tv demonic cariature. Curse on McCain for his elder lapse in choosing her and this insanity and for what it has also done to Alaska.

  139. Bristol is a self proclaimed "slut".
    I firmly believe she is the mother of both children and got pregnant a second time shortly after T1 was born.
    I believe Levi is dad of both children.
    All these theories about twins, incest, and the like is just getting in the way. As someone has said, these people are simple people. Keep it simple, stupid -- or so the phrase goes. Bristol was underage when she was pregnant with T1 -- and technically it's statutory rape. (if I recall correctly, the legal age of consent in AK is 17?)
    On the campaign trail, BP's normally small breasts were engorged with milk.
    Just look at the simplest evidence in front of you -- the photos spell it all out.

    Regardless, the truth will come out. It's only a matter of time.

    Yes, we've all considered "Irish twins" with regard to Trig/Tripp. FTR, that's my belief.

    Regarding the White-out name concept: Healthcare providers do not bill for the name of a child. They bill for procedure done.You do not receive a bill because they are charging you for delivering Jimmy-Joe-Bob. You are charged for a childbirth attendance. Bills are not sent out with white-out as it would be instantly rejected by any insurance company, and people are not billed for "miscarriages" as that is not a procedure. She would have had a bill for a D & C, or a D & E, which would have been done because of an incomplete spontaneous abortion, which would not have been mentioned on the bill because that is a diagnosis and not a procedure.

    Getting a bill that says "abortion" means, to me, that she went to a women's clinic and actually had an abortion, and I suspect that if a white-out bill did exist, then she used the white-out herself.

  141. Ak PetMom,

    I think Levi was progressively letting his hair grow. In the hosp pic, which could be late Dec 2007, to his being hauled out of the woods around Aug 30, 2008, he could have gotten quite shaggy if he did not cut his hair in between. That is 8 full months.

    Emrisa @ 2:57pm, you have to finish Mercede's sentence here: "I have ONE beautiful nephew named Tripp" ... "and ONE named Trig" (or whatever other name)

    completley agree with what soapydog 7:09am says with one exception. Incest I think could definately be part of the equation. Slut is also a harsh word to use with normal behavior in the valley by moms and daughters and of course sons.
