Trig Palin speaks his first sentence. Kind of.

Courtesy of Facebook
As reported yesterday Todd pulled out early yesterday from the Iron Dog. (Please insert sex joke here.)

Later Palin posted this video on Facebook, with this description: 

When the girls told Trig that daddy had to leave the race, he still said, "Go, daddy!" And it's sort of his first "sentence" that's kind of clear! We're proud of our boy!

Children with Down syndrome develop at a much slower rate than normal, but I was struck by Trig's difficulty with speech at almost six years old. It once again makes me think he did not get the kind of early inventions and supports that he required to help him develop.

Not only that but his crossed eyes are very obvious in this video and yet he is once again not wearing any corrective lenses.

You know to me this kind of speaks to the pro-life movement writ large.

They are all about forcing women to give birth, but the responsibilities afterward of providing adequate care, or ensuring that the child's life is as comfortable as possible seems not to matter nearly as much.

Trig seems like an enjoyable little boy, but now that he is no longer a political prop he needs to be cared for as a human being with special needs.

By the way speaking of Todd here is what is filtering in so far as to why he quit: 

It didn't take long for the Iron Dog to turn into a nightmare for the dream team of Tyler Huntington and Todd Palin. 

The two former Iron Dog champs ran into trouble less than 100 miles into the 2,000-mile snowmachine race from Big Lake to Nome to Fairbanks on Sunday and officially pulled out of the race late Monday afternoon. 

Huntington, a two-time Iron Dog champ from Fairbanks, and Palin, a four-time winner from Wasilla, evidently had some kind of mechanical problem shortly after leaving the starting line in Big Lake. 

Race officials didn't have any details as to what happened, only that Huntington and Palin had scratched from the race because of a problem with one of their Ski-Doos. 

"All I know is they had some kind of mechanical issue," executive race director Kevin Kastner said. "I don't know if it was from a crash or just a mechanical failure."

You know this had me remembering the last time that Todd quit the race unexpectedly and for reasons that were never made clear.

      Except, you can hear Palin in the background prompting him on what to say, and then "speak louder!" and he does. So maybe he had a cochlea implant at some point? Regardless, he is way behind developmentally, even for a DS child.

      It is inexcusable they used him like this at all. Of course, it is merely about the Palins using their prop again. They want kudos for training him to smile and whatever they can bribe him to do for the Brand.

      This latest use of a prop proves how vile and disgusting Sarah and Todd can be.

      Children are cute and Trig adorable. He needs better people to care for him.

      Trig's difficulty in speaking has much more to do with the fact he didn't receive intensive Zero to 3 therapy.
      Kiddos with DS have very poor muscle control and studies have shown that intensive, multi-phased therapy Zero to 3 can make great strides in what a child can accomplish. Zero to 3 therapy involves many phases of different therapists and takes an investment of time from the guardians of the child. 3, 4, or even up to 8 sessions a week and more work with the child at home.
      But you can't do that if you are flying around the country, hauling a child around on a bus, or spending over half your time in another state away from the child that needs you.
      At this point, Trig will not ever be able to learn at the accelerated rate that very young child do. That is why the Zero to 3 therapies were developed. Unfortunately Trig's caretakers had money, if they would have been poor the state would have removed him from the home and seen to it that he received the proper therapies.
      Zero to 3 therapy is available for every child in the USA and it's a darned shame this wealthy couple was allowed to prevent him from getting it.

    The majority of us could care less about Todd Palin and the Iron Dog Race....he hasn't won it in years, came in 5th last year and has quit before.

    I feel for his advertiser, Ski Doo, and the money they spent in support of him. How long will it take them to realize he is nothing more than a 'has been'?

    2. That brings us back to the "what's in it for me/us?" Palin mantra.

      You might guess Sarah inveigled Todd to switch sponsors from ol' reliable Arctic Cat to SkiDoo because she saw a grifting opportunity with the Race for the Cure sponsorship by SkiDoo.

      The one thing neither of them probably counted on was the snowmobile crapping out on them. I wonder if Todd is going to get paid whatever inducement SkiDoo offered him anyway, or the equipment breakdown cancelled the agreement?

      That's not a very good endorsement for either SkiDoo's reliability or the Palins' decision-making.

  7. Hmmmmm....just reading at the Asylum and they've posted an article from that "Deadbart" site....

    "Team 11, comprised of Todd Palin and Tyler Huntington, had to scratch out of the 2014 Iron Dog race in Alaska Monday night. The Palin-Huntington duo posted the best time of 39 teams from Big Lake to Skwentna. But then some bad news. Huntington’s sled began running on one cylinder after leaving Skwentna. Team 11 turned around and tried to diagnose it. At first, they thought it was an exhaust sensor, so they changed it in Skwentna. No luck.
    The team returned to Pain’s shop in Wasilla. There, they were able to determine it was a problem they could not repair in time and get back on the trail without making the trail volunteers stay out in the elements an extra day. So they decided they will get things fixed with no time frame. The idea is to use the sleds for practice runs in 2015.
    "I really feel bad about the mechanical issue," Craig Compeau, sponsor of Team 11 told Breitbart Sports. "It’s one of those things in life you file under ‘stuff happens.’" Compeau is a Fairbanks Ski-Doo dealer who came up with the idea of adding pink to some of the sleds this year in an effort to help fight breast cancer. Palin, Huntington and some of the other Ski-Doo racers are raising money through Breast Cancer Focus."

    Note this...."The team returned to Pain’s shop in Wasilla."

    Then I read in the Newsminer this....

    "Huntington and Palin told race officials they were planning to tow the wounded machine back to the starting line in Big Lake to fix it and continue on, but they ended up in Wasilla, which is not a checkpoint or part of the race course."

      I worked as a therapist and then service coordinator in birth to three for 20 years in another state. I am not familiar with Alaska's program but in my state birth to 3 services are not mandatory and Trig would not be removed from his home for the family choosing not to to receive services or the intensity of services recommended. His diagnosis makes him automatically eligible for services but it is the family's choice to receive services. Medical neglect is another can of worms and determined by medical personnel. I worked w/ many kiddos in foster care and never had an out & out case of medical neglect in all those years. With all that said......I do think Trig would have and still would benefit from wearing his hearing aids and glasses if he has these and intense speech therapy given what we think we know. He definitely should be in an education program beginning at 3 (early childhood education) but again...not mandatory until the age of six I believe, at least in my state..

    Rush Limbaugh recently claimed that the Palin family were attacked by democrats. He needs to visit Sarah's FB and see for himself how wicked it is for her to constantly use him as a defense mechanism prop for their failures or need for pity. That child should be celebrated by his parents for who he is, not for what cutesy things he says about mommy and daddy, and how cute he looks with his siblings, and pet. He is being used as propaganda for their obsessive need for celebrity.

    The Palins know that hundreds of curiosity-seekers, and critics visit her facebook site. Yet, she still puts personal photos of her children, and in this instance, a special needs child, not to give encouragement to others with kids with special needs, but to use as a prop when they expect more criticism (which they create by their own actions). It hurts to see this young child used in this way. All they would have to do is not expose him to the world and allow him to thrive privately.

    A nurtured child in any other family, who loves their child, would be protected from the nasty internet trolls and haters out there. Who among us, mothers, fathers, would put photos of our little boy if we expected repeated attacks on them? What mother would take that chance? It would tear a mother's heart to hear things about her child, so why would she continue to put them out there as a target? What mother would do this???????? Rush Limbaugh and the righteous indignants don't have a clue as to who these Palins are.

    Besides, it can't be proven that anyone here has ever said mean things about Trig; the only criticisms that come about when Trig's photos are posted are comments of dismay and concern over the little guy, that he's used as his mom and dad's little buddy/prop for their own ill-gotten-gained purposes, and he never seems to have any therapies or hearing, eye aids.

    Everyone here has loved on Trig and only care about his health and welfare. If the Palins raise a ruckus about how people attack him, it's because they want people to attack, to make them appear like victims.

      The adult Palins are running out of time: Trig will grow out of his cute and cuddly stage and the fact that they've not given him the proper medical and social interventions will become glaringly obvious; Piper will enter her teenage years and be, perhaps, as confused and rebellious as her older siblings; Bristol and Willow will drift into their twenties with no real skills or ambition; Track will stay strangely hidden away; and Tripp, too, will become a school-aged boy who'll need friends and a real education. He'll start to ask questions about Levi, Sunny and Breeze, and will be deeply damaged if his mother continues to rampage, while his visits to the Johnstons are fun. Expect him to ask to go live with his father sooner or later.

      Palin's constant showcasing of her offspring , including putting photos of her 12 yr old daughter in a bikini on her Facebook
      and now this sad situation with Trig, is a symptom of her mental illness.
      Her Narcissistic Personality Disorder is on full display in the perverted ways she uses her children for her own publicity.
      No other parent-Democrat , Republican, entertainment and just regular folks display and flaunt their children in this way.
      This is a sick world , with sick people and unlike Palin , they jealously protect their children.
      Every normal parent goes in the opposite direction-shielding their children from photographers and making sure only family members can see photographs on FB.
      Munchausen by Proxy ( MBP ) is the mental disease where parents and caregivers fabricate and or create illness in their child for their own disturbed reasons.
      Palin by Proxy (PBP ) should be the name of the mental disorder describing parents and caregivers who perversely publicize their young children
      for their own narcissistic needs.
      An example of PBP is when Palin claimed that Joe
      McGinniss was a Peeping Tom, looking into Piper's bedroom window.
      That weirdness was followed by Palin bizarrely posting a photo of her 12 yr old daughter in a bikini this past summer.
      It is unfortunate that no official agency in Alaska investigates what goes on in this family.
      Because what they highlight in public and in their reality shows makes you shudder wondering what goes on in the rare times when the cameras are turned off.

      Why Todd Palin went home will remain a secret. It is unheard of. I suppose they will make up several other racers that did the same in past races. How can it even be legal if participants can go home and return to the race?

      It makes all the "friends' doing a "friend" Iron Dog race look like fools.

      What kind of competition or sport has participants going home and returning to game before it is even finished?

      Todd is giving not only the activity of racing in Alaska a bad name, he is ruining Iron Dog. Kicking it while it is down. Wimps and miscreants go home during a race. Real men, especially strong Alaskan men, DO NOT LEAVE A RACE AND RETURN FOR A PHOTO SHOOT.

      He is doing this for the Palin brand's stupid hunting TV project. He had to get back to the set and finish the filming. He failed but they will throw something together to try and make them all look good. When in fact they are all losers for the remaining suckers in the public that will support their schemes.

    Sarah demands to be the center of the universe in that "family." The world has watched sarah yank her children out of school, expose them to swarms of strangers, and throw them at her enemies. This is her way of playing to the GOP base.

      At least he is fed and clothed and living in a home with people who might or might not be his family. A major percentage of children born with DS and other genetic deficiencies are simply turned over to the hospital immediately following birth, which then places them in long term care facilities where they spend their lives never knowing a family situation. I guess it's better that he at least get some sort of attention from a unit of people that treat him like family.

      The best thing that could have happened is that whomever was pregnant with him did her due diligence and was prenatally tested and decided not to bring the pregnancy to fruition if she wasn't willing to put enough energy into his education and physical therapy, but he's here and at least he's not in an institution.

      While surgery may slightly help Trig it isn't necessarily the answer for a child with DS. If he had received the therapy he needed from Zero to 3 it probably wouldn't be an issue. Most kiddos with DS that are cross eyed have that problem because of the poor muscle control that goes along with the DS diagnoses.

    Would someone please answer this? What years did Todd DNF the Iron Dog? (did not finish)

    I do not think that this little boy, Trig (AKA Ruffles) was the baby that was used as a prop at the convention or the campaign. He probably was the toddler in tow on the first book tour with a possible stand in from time to time.

    The 2007 Palin X-Mas family photo is the best clue as to who gave birth to this child, Bristol. The Palins did the old fashioned version of mono and the attempted scarf and mirrors and a pillow stuffed mommy cover up and that births a baby brother. And, the follow up clue is why were Mercede and Levi holding that baby if not for family tradition? Stuff like this only has a chance of working with low profile families and not the ones that shot gun their family photos online and at the checkout at the grocery store.

    This story will be continued as we need to know if Tripp was a trap for Levi and what happened to the DWTS spanxed tighter than a sausage cha, cha, cha.....chin, chin chin when she do it again.

    Remembering that Christmas postcard of Trig as a baby, dressed in a Santa suit, placed in a box under a tree.....this special need's child, used as a prop to have people "oooh and aaaah" and Awwww, how cute" compels one to wonder what kind of people these are??????

    Down Syndrome can be a serious issue for some children. Many have healthy lives, but others, have a lot of struggles and for a down's baby to be presented in this fashion, is so inconsistent with parents who are concerned and connected with their child.

    It seems they use this child as their little "model" with which they can use emotional manipulation for their fans, to weed out the nasty rumors going around about them being a grifting dysfunctional family. They use him as the tool to keep their fake brand going.

    This child is never shown with other down syndrome children, in a group, at school, with teachers, therapists, or in some fun activity with other children. He is never seen with glasses, which it appears he needs. How can parents let their child's eyes go like that, so cross-eyed. It would give him headaches to have to see without proper focals.

    It's outrageous. Are there any ophthamologists here who read, who could explain the physical strain on a child who is so cross-eyed and yet who seems to never have proper eyewear or corrective surgery?

      The race requires that the racers are the only ones who can wrench the machines. No pit crews. No direct factory support. The winners are usually a mixture of speed and mechanical skill. From the reports, they blew a cylinder on Huntington's machine. They carry some spares but not spare motors. The working snowmobile was used to carry the other member of the team (Palin). They don't ride two-up at those speeds. It would be suicide. Skwetna is about 50-60 trail miles from Wasilla. If they had a recovery sled they could get from there to Wasilla in 1-2 hours. Slower if they were just towing it on the track with the drive belt disengaged. Google Iditarod trail or Iron dog trail and you will get a decent map.

That's usually what happens if a sled breaks down near a checkpoint; it's towed or hauled back by a larger vehicle to the nearest check point, in this case they just would have taken Ty's sled back to Big Lake and put it on his trailer to be driven back to Todd's shop, if they even had a minor plan of fixing it and continuing the race.

    I know that each DS child is different and has different abilities. But, I think that Trig would have more going for him if he was using all five senses. With vision and hearing disabilities, he should be wearing his glasses-- and hearing aids if he has them. We see Trig with electronic games but he also needs regular therapy.

  49. I am going to be the fly in everyone's ointment today.

    I thought Trig did very well with his enunciation with Bristol at her house (and - that was videoed at Bristol's house. Note the deck rail outside the french doors).

    He also responded to Bristol's prompts to speak and repeat in a timely manner. When asked to say it again, he did so. Everyone has to start somewhere - Trig has Down Syndrome, and clearly other developmental delays. That said - "go daddy" was said with purpose and in proper tones. Having volunteered with lots of young developmentally delayed kiddos, it sounded fantastic.

    For those of you who do not know my background, I also have a special needs adult daughter in her 30's who had language and multiple physical issues.

    Trig's "go daddy" sounded GREAT! Its a start, and when Trig receives praise / recognition / feedback for speaking versus gesturing or acting out, he'll continue to want to learn.

    He is SUCH a cute kid!

      Agreed, he's a little sweetie. I don't know why but I thought it was Sarah talking to him. Makes sense it was Bristol, she's always been very loving towards him.

      Trig is cute and YES HE DID GREAT!!!!!!!! I think the lazy Palin's had someone teach him with Go Daddy songs and treats and playing happy with him.

      The Palin's are smart enough to know how to sucker people, that is why they use Trig.

      As an adoptive Mom of 3 special needs kids and a foster Mom of Multiple DS kids I see a failure on his guardians side to get him the early therapies he needed. His rate of "learning" (as with every human) dropped at age 3.

    4. Well children respond well to a parent... Bristol is nothing but a babysitter for her own child, sad really as she isn't able to do that very well. From her very own mouth.
      But yes I agree Trig is doing well, but he could and should have been so much more advanced if it weren't for their ignorance.

      I don't think that is Bristol's place. The voice doesn't sound like Sarah or Bristol. who knows where and probably his trainer or a nanny trainer for their pet project. This is all about stealing the show with the cuteness, of course, they will use the cutest most adorable innocent one. Trig has a dear heart but he has no say, except for how he is trained.

      He is SUCH a cute kid!

    Gryph: "You know this had me remembering the last time that Todd quit the race unexpectedly and for reasons that were never made clear."



    From race link: "Seven-time champ Scott Davis and four-time winner Todd Palin, husband of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, bowed out of the race on Sunday night after Davis suffered a back injury about 30 miles outside the Puntilla Lake checkpoint in Rainy Pass.

    Race officials didn’t know the extent of Davis’ injury, but the two racers backtracked to Puntilla to scratch and were driving their Arctic Cats back to Big Lake, where the race started Sunday."

    Seems clear to me...

    Go to the facebook page. Look at the Iron dog similarities to Hunger Games thread. Go to comments. Look at 2 comments from Willow. Both times she refers to Alexis McCarty. In the second one she says "she totally stole this from you". When you click on the name Alexis McCarty it goes to her facebook page. Interesting young lady. For gay rights & pot legalization. Thinks fuckbuddies should be an accepted relationship or something. Is this a friend or enemy of willow bianca..who stole what from who..

    It is remote and out of touch in Alaska.

    Poor Todd, he is the most famous racer yet not even the race director Kevin Kastner knew why Todd was scratched.

    Todd could go to his own house, did he call and let the race director finally know what was going on? Todd is lucky not to be injured. Although he is famous for his celebrity status, it is certain he can disappear and without communication even during a big time Alaskan race. Todd had the best of the best and his machine was slower than a snail. It sounds like it was that way from the start. I take it they don't do test runs before a big race. How could his machine go bad from the start?

    Maybe he went back to Wasilla instead of the starting point because he had to "unwrench" something on his skidoo. Can't come in last place without a mechanical problem being the cause.

    I find it interesting the "broken" skidoo made it all the way home just fine.

      The guy hasn't looked like he could handle a race for a long time. Face it, when you are young snorting a little coke or whatnot can keep you looking viable. Over time that is not the case. Todd has probably known the jig was up for him for a long time for him trying to put on this show again.

      I bet there were plans from the get go to stage something for them to film that would make things look the best they could for the Palins. Something went wrong and it didn't go exactly as planned.

      The Officials and anyone necessary will be paid off not to ask questions or squeal. It is all about maintaining the Palin myths in Alaska.

    Snowmachines on ice and pavement, concrete or patches of frozen dry ground make for a bumpy ride. Bad enough for the youngest and fittest of the Irondog contestants, but for a 50's guy, the shaking has got to affect an older body.

    Consider that most of us who reached or passed the 50 mark feel the effects of old age, hyper bladder, needier TLC with the bowels, blood pressure, heart murmurs, adult set-on diabetes, arthritis, back and neck problems, insomnia, etc. Even if some adults overcome these obstacles or haven't experienced them yet, BWA-Hahahaha......they'll come sooner or later.

    Can't figure out why this new partner of Todd's would risk all his family's sponsorship, money, energy, effort on middle-aged Todd. Unless they have a date with Sport Channel which offers triple the $$$.

    The story about Trig just made me cry. It's pitiful that a family with such access to resources that many people don't have, chooses not to use them, and the child suffers for it. It seems a crime, though I'm sure it's not in reality. As long as he is fed and clothed, I'm pretty sure Social Services can't do anything about them neglecting his education and enrichment. So sad.

    In even worse shape was former champion Todd Palin, the biggest celebrity in the race. He's known for being the husband of former Alaska governor and now political celebrity Sarah Palin. He and teammate Tyler Huntington, a two-time champion himself, suffered what was apparently an electrical problem with one of their machines on the first day of the race and had to go about 100 miles in the wrong direction -- all the way back to Todd's shop in Wasilla, near where the race started -- to make repairs.
    Iron Dog officials said Monday morning the Palin/Huntington team was planning to stay in the race, but with their competitors half a state ahead, they later scratched from the competition.

      Why would racers go BACKWARDS to their personal residence? Why weren't there SkiDoo mechanics in various places along the trail (is that even allowed?). There were other SkiDoos in the race. Was Todd planning to switch to another machine located/hidden in the garage/work area of his personal property on the Dead Lake in Wasilla?

      I wouldn't put a damn thing past Todd Palin. He's known to be a cheater - putting water in gasoline - that type thing! His wife has a history too. She proved not to be a runner even though she tried to project that she was...her legs/muscle tone proved much differently!

      Just like the boobs being 'up there' one day and hanging down to her private parts (vajayjay) the next!

    What if there was a problem and the snowmobiles needed to be reviewed by unbiased crew? Can anybody just take take their machine back home and there are no requirements to contact the race authorities as to having dropped out? Are the race regulations that hokey? What a bunch of amateurs. No wonder it is so easy for Todd Palin to cheat.

    Sorry, but the Iron Dog Race deal is a sham and a scam. No authority or regulations. Too easy to cheat means there is no competition it is just a set up for a few people to make money and a whole lot of fools to be played for fools.

    This entire racing scam should be shut down and revealed for what it actually is.

    Race director Kevin Kastner? Is he related to one of the Palin cousins? He is saying the star celebrity was missing in action for two hours? The trip back to Wasilla. When did Kastner learn where team #11 was and that they quit?

    Seriously, that is how the race in Alaska is run? I would think all the teams where-abouts and situations would be known at all times during the race.

    What about other races? Say a cyclist during a race disappeared for an hour or two, no one would know or ask about them?
