Now we have the first quarterly report of this year in which we learn that the PAC started with that $380,963.17, brought in an additional $135,038.27, and spent $248,425.75, leaving only $267,575.69 cash on hand as of March 31, 2016.
Not exactly fiscally responsible are they?
As usual the bulk of the money went to various kinds of "consultants" including old favorites Grey Strategies, Northstar Strategies, and Timothy Crawford (The guy behind SarahPAC.)
All of that came to a whopping $99,375.
Postage and direct mail was another biggie.
Postage was $23,147 while Direct Mail was $33,273, with a combined total of $56,420. Give or take a few pennies.
It seemed that somebody at SarahPAC remembered at the last minute that they were supposed to be a political PAC so at the end of the month there were a bunch of donations to various candidates, with only one at the beginning of the month, all of which totaled a rather pathetic $24,000.
Carol Ryan and Marilyn Lane of Wasilla are also both apparently still on the payroll, so whatever "part time clerical" work they provide must still be worth something to Palin.
Though not that much because all told Carol Ryan only brought in $6,825 for the three months and Marilyn Lane about $6,686.
From appearances it is clear that SarahPAC is trying to trim the fat, but not nearly enough as each pay period they still spend substantially more than they bring in.
To say the PAC is drying up is an understatement, and it certainly helps to explain why Palin is kissing Donald Trump's ass so hard and shopping around a judge show that she is criminally under qualified to host.
In short, she is desperate.
And with her husband's medical bills, her son's legal fees, and her daughter fighting a court battle over custody of her newest tax write off, the desperation in the Palin household must now be all but overwhelming.
Ohhh dear! Bless her heart. Poor Sarah has driven her gravy train into the ditch. I feel so sad...NOT!
ReplyDeleteOn another IM thread, I stated SarahPAC made no contributions to other candidates -- MY MISTAKE. She claims to have given $19,000 to candidates; her detailed filing names them.
ReplyDeleteHere are some interesting notes from the filing:
-- 3/14/16; Hyatt Regency, Orlando; $365
-- 2/4/16; limo company, DC; $881
-- 1/18/16; Outback Steakhouse, Clive Iowa; meals, $279
-- 1/19/2016; Outback Steakhouse, Clive IA; meals, $164
-- 1/19/2016; Sheraton, Des MOines, IA; $300
-- Lots of airfare charges
-- The usual payments to her two "part-time clerical"
So -- looks as though the Trump campaign didn't pick up a penny of her expenses.
Meanwhile, the Scottsdale AZ house is still on the market, sucking up utilities, upkeep, security, homeowner's association fees, and property taxes.

Isn't the whole point of sarapac just to afford Palin restaurants, hotels and travel (private jets in good times) while she builds up her brand?
DeleteThat and supporting her entourage, including the postage trolls.
DeleteAnd I know it isn't fashionable in these parts to mention MALOE, but she called another one: the payments to CareMare were cut back from their previously levels. If the cut backs kicked in on 3/1, as we were told, look for future reports to list even smaller payments.
Looks like a big bunch of people might be looking for actual jobs soon in Wasilla. Maybe Target is hiring.
no private jets, he may have paid for that
DeleteYou are correct, 12:35 PM. Her personal slush fund and all perfectly legal.
Deletemaybe they'll also have to sell their ( stolen from the wasilla taxpayers ) house on the dead lake ...
DeleteWHOA! How many people did she pay for at those Outback Steakhouses??? I haven't been to one in a while, but I do not believe that for three of us we paid more than maybe $50 or $60!
DeleteDid you notice how the majority of her donations come from retirees? She should be ashamed of herself ! She spent about $450 at Outback Steakhouse in 2 days. I wonder if her donors are eating that well ? It may all be perfectly legal, but she's the most immoral person! Grrrrr...

What did she eat the whole cow?
Don't they serve liquor at Outback-maybe that was the bar bill.
Well, it's confirmed.
DeleteSarah's a cheap date!
I hope Donald at least sprang for a Big Gulp!
CareMare?? Are you sure of that spelling?
DeleteYes Outback's have a full-service bar/lounge. Then also they could have bought plenty of beer and booze there to take back to the hotel.
DeleteI miss MALOE. For being a fake and a fraud she spoke a lot of truth about the Palin fraudsters. I guess MALOE was a person who studied the Palins and could predict with certainty what they were up to.
DeleteMy experience with Outback - it is very expensive for a medium grade meal. The menu is a la carte, the level of noise is irritating, the service is fast and careless.
DeleteIt is a chain, like McDonalds only they serve expensive steak along with very expensive sides. The point is to get you in and out fast. It is one of my least favorite places to eat and the restaurant in my town closed a few years back.
Assume a meal without appetizers is $70/person. Add a bottle of wine and a tip and you are up there. I would assume the meal on the 18th was for 3 at most 4 people (most likely 3 though) and the meal on the 19th was at best for 2 people.
Tacky Sarah would think it was a high end place. I personally hate the place.
Outback, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Chili's, Friday's any of these chain places aren't even worth spending a dollar at.
DeleteYou will never get great food at a chain.
Anchorage has amazing local dining and we actually do have one place in Wasilla, The Grape Tap, that has incredible food and a wine list to die for. Turkey Red in Palmer rocks as well, with seasonal selections and locally sourced meats and veggies.
I did notice that Bristol even did an Instagram photo from Suite 100 in Anchorage, which is a nice local place still trying to find its footing but has some decent food at a decent price, so at least she's not always eating at Outback!
I would have typed CarMar but that sounds like car mar, whereas CareMare makes it clear how it's pronounced (short for Carol, short for Marilyn.)
DeletePS to 416: not just a scholar but also a psychic who knew what they were going to do before they did it. Remarkable talents for being a fake and a fraud and all.
Legal fees for Track and Bristol must have eaten up a chunk of their personal dollars, not to mention Todd's surgeries and hospital stay. Even with the legacy health insurance bestowed upon past Governors, there is no such thing as a policy without a deductible or co-pays, I'd expect they got hit for at least $30 grand for the amount not covered by her insurance.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that Bristol was asked to sell her old home and downsize so that Mom and Dad could recoup the money they lent her to purchase it and so that Bristol could make a little "walking around cash".
Plus, a lot of their personal cash is tied up in the white elephant that they can't sell down in AZ. They paid 1.6 million cash, and will most likely have to mark it down to that again in order to sell and gain some liquidity. I have a notion that her current pre-tax net worth is no where near the 12 million it was in 2010.
All signs point to this family being as poor as a bunch of white trash lottery winners that squandered their payout by 2020.
Todd gets free socialized health care, remember? He's 1/4 Alaska Native.
DeleteBut doesn't Todd have health care with native insurance? What kind of policy is that?
DeleteInsurance is typically 80/20 splits, isn't it? With the Palins responsible for the 20% and the monthly insurance premiums, if they have to pay them. I doubt he'd be getting 100% coverage through the native coverage.
DeleteIn our insurance, hospitalization is completely covered. We have a deductible of $250/pp, and co-pays for doctor visits as well as meds of $15. Nowhere even close to $30K...
DeletePalin may also get benefits from serving as governor. Todd should be under Tribal Care.
Delete1:36 Insurance is all over the place. Because I'm a member of a strong union I pay almost nothing. Union negotiated insurance covers whatever Medicare doesn't except for a $15 copay for some office visits. My daughter, a private contractor in a different state, has a $12K deductible!
DeletePalin has millions so they aren't going broke anytime soon. She will do anything to avoid spending her own money.
DeleteNative insurance ONLY covers at the Alaska Natve Medical Center in Anchorage, NOT Mat-Su. ALso only covers at the Native Health Clinics and their physical therapy person NOT whoever Palin's choose
DeleteBear Woman, we do have a newer native care center here in Wasilla, however they are mostly primary care and not a full service hospital, although it was a pretty big deal when they opened and saved some people a trip to AK for basic services.
DeleteBenteh Nuutah Valley Native Primary Care Center
https://www.southcentralfoundation.com/services/behavioral-health/benteh-nuutah-vnpcc/
Todd was too jacked up to be cared for there and I guess since they got him to Mat-Su and stabilized him there that he just decided to stay. A lot of Native people don't choose to do any of the Native hospitals if they can afford another choice.
Ouch. That's gotta hurt.
ReplyDeleteBut don't cry for Screechy.
Once the Judge Dummy Show debuts, the money will start pouring in like cheap booze at a Wasilla church social. Remember that Judge Wapner probably still makes more than $100,000,000 a year and his show isn't even on anymore!
Hang in there, Screechy! Don't let ol' Gryphen get you down! Your leaky ship's about to land on Easy Street and soon you'll be the richest rapidly aging international laughingstock in the world!
Run, Screechy, run!
A hundred million per year??? I want a television gig as a fake judge too.
DeleteBeaglemom

DeleteI can't help but wonder how accurate that figure is?
DeleteAnd I can't, for the life of me, image that some company would hire Sarah Palin - and much less offer her similar pay!
Don't forget that she's already proven she is not a team player, doesn't follow rules and is not ethical!
Americans (and for sure Alaskans) know too much about her. She is in no way job oriented or a likely quality candidate for a job!
Beaglemom-- I'd go before you in any dispute I had. I've been reading here for awhile, and I trust your judgement.

Yes, now we can expect her to take every single appearance at county fairs and so forth.
ReplyDeleteI predict her being the spokeswoman for life insurance or security systems commercials or something, ads targeting the elderly.
"Reverse mortgages!!"
DeleteHoveround
DeleteIf you've never seen Catherine OHara's pitchman song for catheters at the end of A Mighty Wind you really need to check it out. That's where she's headed.
DeleteDepends.
DeleteSarah will be selling cleaning products and smiley sponges on HSN. Since she will be the "new" hostess her working hours on the TV will be 2:00 AM to 6:00 so nobody will be watching.
DeleteShe surely thought she'd be raking it in after Trump gave her a new lease on life.
ReplyDeleteTrump probably paid the pit bull in steaks.
DeleteWhy don't they get jobs like everyone else?
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
Well, they do look at the want ads, but they all say they want college educated people with knowledge of science, or computer skills other than using social media, and they want ":references." I ask you, who could the Palin spawn use for references? Their pastor at the mythical church they attend? I know, Tripp's teacher could tell how nice it is when Bristol comes for lunch and brings Tripp a healthy lunch from McDonald's.
Delete"Why don't they get jobs?"
DeleteWould you hire any or all of them? Would you patronize a business where any of them worked? THAT'S why they don't get jobs. They are incompetent, ignorant, foul-mouthed, dishonest layabouts who are prone to violence.
And, the Palins (ALL) are so easy to fact check!
DeleteI had my own business for a number of years and there is no way I would have hired any of them!
Poor Piper - growing up in this mess. She's in trouble before she even got started just by being the youngest daughter of Sarah and Todd Palin!
Sarah and Todd are going to have some huge regrets about their lives - at a point in the not-to-distant future.
They've done horrible things to their kids and grandchildren!
I think Bristol and Track may now be so dysfunctional that they would be unable to work at a 'real' job. No employer would allow Bristol to take as much time off as she does while claiming to work for Dr. Jack Mehoff.
DeleteTrack doesn't seem to have much in the way of marketable skills, smarts or desire to succeed at something, anything. I believe he may also have a serious drug problem in addition to his problems with alcohol, relationships and violent behaviors.
I hope that Piper can find a way to become a productive member of society by staying in school and staying away from alcohol, drugs and unprotected sex.
I just hope that when all of the grifting money dries up, and soon it will, Trigg will be taken care of by someone who has his best interests as their top priority.
Poor Willow*. She's the only one in that family with a job...she'll be supporting 10 people (for now, until big sis and big brother irresponsibly procreate again) on the proceeds from trashy-looking highlight jobs.
ReplyDelete*not really "poor." She's almost as big a pain in the ass as the rest of them.
I doubt Willow works very often. But at least she has a marketable skill. Track is probably the worst off. Bristol can always keep having babies to get that sweet child support cash. Let's hope Piper sees Willow as more of a role model than Bristol.
DeleteMore like: Let's hope Piper looks outside the family for role models. Yes, Willow learned a skill, but she didn't even graduate from high school. The more educated you are, the more you can handle life whatever line of work you choose.
DeleteDid you see the pit of a "salon" Willow is working in on Bitchtol's last selfie. Low rent district.
DeleteTheir coming financial demise (has the house sold yet in the lower 48?) is a blessing to all Alaskan residents!
ReplyDeleteThey truly are a family of retards with zero common sense or financial know how!
Perhaps they will leave Alaska? The state whose majority cannot abide them! But, then I doubt any other state wants them either.
Perhaps the Palins can be dumped onto McCain's front lawn.
DeleteHere Johnny, YOU take care of this trash. And I sincerely doubt this trash can be recycled.
Oh wait! Maybe they can be made into faux pregnancy bellies.
No, the Scottsdale, AZ, house has not sold. Been on the market 115 days. The original asking price of $2.5 million has been slightly reduced to $2.375 million. The Palin's paid $1,7 million for it in 2011. Previously it has sold for as little as $800K -- 2010 when someone picked it up out of foreclosure.

Among Pinnacle Peak homes, this home is 203.2% more expensive than the midpoint (median) home, and is priced 14.2% more per square foot.

Watch for the price to come WAAAYY down when Sarah realizes the maintenance, property taxes, insurance, security, homeowners' association fees, etc. are a huge drain.
Karma is a bitch!
ReplyDelete$881 for limos?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't sound like common sense conservatism to me.
it's been a typical expense for years, and used to be higher with security. No private jets this time.
DeleteYou mean she's paying her own way now? That's gotta burn! Darn those GOP snakes.
DeleteWe knew something was up when Sarah was seen at a Delta terminal.
DeleteBut by the looks of this most recent filing, Sarah's gonna have to keep an eye on every cent.
Keep saving those frequent flyer miles, Sarah. You are going to need them.
After McCain conceded and gave his speech, he went home in family car. Palin and family partied on.
DeleteMSNBC:
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin isn’t above inviting herself to the GOP convention
Sarah Palin will attend the Republican National Convention this summer – whether she’s on the guest list or not.
In a new interview with the Associated Press, the former vice presidential candidate and all-around pot-stirrer said she’ll be in Cleveland for the event, although she might have to “invite myself” since she believes the leaders at the RNC are “afraid of what I would say.”
“I can’t see any of them inviting me,” she said....
To the AP, Palin reiterated the sentiment, saying, “I’ve had to deal with the political machinery my whole career” and deeming some establishment leaders “snakes.” ...
http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/sarah-palin-isnt-above-inviting-herself-the-gop-convention
Yo GOP,
DeleteSarah is calling you SNAKES.
You gonna let her gt away with that?
OUT HER.
Important to note that SarahPAC is sitting on a lot of unpaid bills. The 'debts and obligations' line on the financial report should not read $0.
ReplyDeleteThe only regular payments made in March were for Harris Media (internet fundraising and mgmt) and Aristotle (company that handles the PACs financial data). And there were only 2 payments to Aristotle during the period so they could be behind on those payments as well. None of her 'consultants' were paid for March.
Looks like most of the consultants got paid 3X during the quarter. Most got 2 paydays in Feb, early and late. That is not unusual with this PAC.
DeleteBut it does look like some saw modest pay cuts. Crawford went from 11K to 10K per month. Interesting the "clerks" had huge expense reimbursements in March, way out of scale to all prior years. Looks like they each got a 3K bonus along with typical supply type expenses.
Also interesting that the law firm no longer is receiving the monthly retainer. Wonder when that stopped????
RAM did not get paid this year, we knew she had a new job. Not sure who else is missing.
MALOE said the big cuts would kick in March 1. That would have been only the last month of the first quarter. Watch for the cuts to be deeper in the next report.
DeleteI think that whole family needs to practice saying "Do you want fries with that?"
ReplyDeleteBut...but...Sarah herself has said that isn't supposed to be a career job!
DeleteI figured she had to pay her way to bask in Trump's presence.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with her proposed conservative principals and now apparently she doesn't either. I hope Cruz and her old buddies tell her to shove it when she comes groveling back. And, she will whether trump wins or not.
You betcha she will!
DeleteHow much of the $380k SarahPac has came from Sarah Palin's latest fundraising scam? I forgot what the scam was but I remember they had one.
ReplyDeleteStop complaining and send Sarah Palin your best. Sarah has to make payroll.
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
DeleteWhy yes, she does. Was Jason Recher one of the guys who saw you in a towel, $arah? Or rolling on the floor, biting the carpet? Did he see a drug stash?
DeletePalin is predicting riots at RNC CONVENTION.

OUTSTANDING!!!
DeleteI really would like to see a breakdown, and receipts for her $56,420 "postage", and "direct mailing". She isn't not running for any office, and she does a lot of her begging through her PAC, on line.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's really strange to have that much in postage and mailing in this day and age. It's hard to imagine what she would be mailing and to whom.
Delete$54+K for postage and direct mailings... I did not get any mail from her,mand I don't think very many on here did, either. So, just who or what is she mailing that costs so much? She does not have that many followers anymore, so she is definitely skimming her share of $$$ - maybe to Bar$tool's monthly 'shoe allowance'?
DeleteThe PAC buys lists of names and addresses, they print, collate, fold and mail the pleading missives for donations. That is an expensive way to troll for $$$$$$
DeleteBecause it's "postage" not postage.
DeleteMaybe the exhorbitant "postage" costs have to do with laundering all those money orders.
DeleteDamn you VG! it's all your fault, telling the pee pond you're not giving anymore money to $arahpac, but instead giving it directly to the candidates.
ReplyDeletepalin will be pissed when she finds out, one of the goobers from the peepond siphoned off almost $2.grand with a gofuckme.com acct: to send to VG even foodstamp kicked in 5 bucks, $ara want's her cut of the action bitch,

Two grand, my ass, Lager! His fund is currently at $5500!
DeleteDid anyone see Sarah Palin's lawsuit against Alealua Banks yet? Me neither! What a fathom bullshitter she is!
DeletePalin has no reason to sue Banks and she knows it! Opening her bullshit mouth, as usual! Remember when she use to do it all the time? Bill Maher as an example. Nothing ever was done against Bill and even if she did sue, she would never have won!
DeleteVG is a fake son of a bitch. He was dying not long ago and now is doing a whole lot better. From what he described in posts from awhile back he should be dead by now.Now it's his wife who has medical problems.
DeleteLet's channel the bullshit who is VG.

Beauty is everywhere my friends, and God. Sarah will be the VP! Trump will ask her and she will accept.

I recall a very old SNL skit in which a character offered to jump into some hillbilly's outhouse pit for a small sum which the owners gleefully paid just to watch the disgusting spectacle. While they laughed and laughed at the fool in the shit pit, he climbed out, parked himself in a chair on their porch and told them it was going to cost them $500 for him to leave.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what all that has to do with Palin, other than that she might try and look for a way to cash in on the stink her presence causes.

DeleteI'm not sure why I find that really funny but I do. LOL
DeleteHaha! 12:58!
DeleteTrump is the shit house owner he paid Sarah to jump in his bullshit to endorse him and now that she is stinking up his campaign he has to pay her to get rid of her.
Those numbers sure don't make her look fiscally conservative do they?
ReplyDeleteIt boggles my mind that SarahPAC "took in" almost $1,000,000. last year and about $135,000. this past quarter. I cannot imagine anyone being stupid enough to donate even a wooden nickel to Sarah Palin to spend as she chooses. SarahPAC should become the "poster child" of one of the main things that are wrong with political money raising in this country. My advice to anyone wanting to make a political contribution: donate to the party of your choice or to the candidate of your choice but don't waste your money on any "superPACS," especially on Sarah Palin's superscam.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
Totally agree with you Beaglemom!
DeleteThere are probably a couple of very rich dummies who have a hard on for her. The numbskulls at C4P and the ones who fawn over Bristol's Instagram barely have two nickels to rub together.

Folks will not keep their mouths shut forever and she'll eventually have to stop paying them due to no longer having the available cash!
Sarah needs to clean house at SarahPAC!
ReplyDeleteFire all the punkass DC dumpster sluts that are running SarahPAC into the ground! Put some rill hardass workers on the job and make it rain again! SarahPAC needs moar money to be able to roar like the farting elephant that it is.
I so enjoy seeing all the positives finally being directed to President Obama. He's been a godsend to the US and I'm happy I voted for him both times.
ReplyDeleteWe are going to miss both he and VP Biden and their lovely wives!
We would not have to overturn Citizens United if people would just stop giving to PACs. Sarah's SarahPAC makes the best argument for this. I started telling people long ago - never give to PACs, always give directly to the campaign of the candidates of your choice if you want to give politically. Otherwise, 20% or more of your money is being wasted, and in the case of SarahPAC, it looks like closer to 80% of your money is being wasted.
ReplyDeleteThose poor, poor saps who sent her money.
It's not just individual people who give money to PACs it is also corporations who can hide behind dummy entities and funnel huge wads of cash into them.
DeleteCitizens United has nothing to do with how SarahPA operates. Citizens United paved the way for SuperPACS to which it allows unlimited corporate and anonymous donations.
DeleteSarahPAC isn't a superPAC and is subject to limitation on donations.
Though not that much because all told Carol Ryan only brought in $6,825 for the three months and Marilyn Lane about $6,686.

Wonder who all she was feeding at the Outback those two days? Doesn't she have to supply the receipts and name of people she fed (like you do in most expense type reports)?
DeleteWho did she take w/her (family) to protect her for the trip? Can't remember.
As I have mentioned somewhere above, it has been a while since I was at an Outback Staeakhouse, but for three people, it was well below $100...
DeleteEven if everyone had taken the most expensive item (steak and lobster), she would have had to entertain 5-10 people each evening.
DeleteAlso, too: $880 for a limo? Did she rent a stretch limo just for herself, for the entire stay there???
And the Vegas stay at the Venetian... For how many days? Because you can get a good room for less than $150 there!
Lots and lots of alcohol maybe?
DeleteWow! Why wasn't she eating at her old buddies The Machine Shed? What disloyalty to eat at a chain.
DeleteLook at all these great local, independent places - but Stooopid $carah eats at the corporate chain- Outback.
DeleteOutbacks have lounge/bars in them.
DeleteWasn't Willow with her at Iowa? Willow looks like she loves her some junk food ten times a day.
DeleteTime to gin up another book! Hmm...what will it be now. Faith.done that. Freedom. Done it too. Family! Well, kinda. Can't come out and tell the real truth behind the newest grandchild and can't bring up Track's stab at being a family man. Patriotism. That theme has been done. Cookbook? Naw, not with her recipes consisting of Redbull, Adderall, 5-hour energy drink. The well getting a little dry, Sarah?
ReplyDeleteNext up in the PaylinGrift, it's gonna be
Deletea Right Wingin' Bitter Clingin Politico-Jesus road show!
Starrin' as many Paylins as $tupid $arah can drag along, and they'll hear testimony from PalinKids, PalinBots, and special guest stars like Ted "shitpants" Nugent,
Joe "pink drawers" Arpaio, and Franklin "lear jet" Graham.
All that, Ladies an' Jennlmen, leadin' up to the final 20 minutes of Our $arah, shakin' them Belmonts and pasties, pageant walkin, wiggling her ass pads, and sharin' a few bible verses and Reagan sayins!
STep right up, only $20 per person, and all the Red bull you can drink, now appearing at local Elks clubs, Rodeos, and country bars across 'Ceptional Murica!
TAKE NOTICE!
No gun carry or alcohol in $arah's tent shows! Just cuz we luv them guns, don't mean you're bringin one in to threaten the sacred life of Queen Esther!
I believe you mispelled that- that's Queen Ether.
DeleteTELL ALL.
DeleteRight the tell all Sarah.
Spill how Paxson and McCain helped you with the fake pregnancy narrative. How you made lemonade out of a pregnant young daughters lemons!
Spill it!
Maybe an unabashedly frank book about how to grift. She seems to have gotten that one down to a tee. I'd buy that book. Honest, I would.
DeleteI'm fully expecting her to try her hand as a televangelist. That's right, ol' Sarah will have a Damascus Road experience, she'll be "born again;" she'll be "washed in the cleansing Blood of the Lamb;" she'll be "a sinner saved by grace!!"
DeleteShe'll thump the bible; become a regular on The 700 Club; claim a blessing from Billy and Franklin Graham -- then she'll get her own biblethumping, psalmsinging, laying-on-of-hands TV show and the checks will start rolling in.
And I would not be surprised to see her family go through the same "conversion" and start appearing with her, thumping on their bibles.
Fishing! Write about fishing
DeleteEach time these quarterly filings are reported, I wonder just what the mailings look like. With $23,147 in postage. I would suspect a lot of people in AK have received one, right. If you have a mailer lying around your house, would you post a snap shot of one? Super curious.
ReplyDeleteI've never received anything from Sarah Palin and I've been in Alaska for years and am a senior. So, no postage spent on me!
DeleteNo, she has to rent expensive mailing lists of right-wing donors with money. I think they're pretty much 100% responsible for the PAC's income, those freaks at c4p are just a bunch of tight-fisted liars.
DeleteGryphen knows someone up here that is on the SarahPAC mailing list and they sometimes share the mailers that are sent. That being said, I think that Alaska zip codes are probably not given priority in the HSP fundraising formula since hardly anyone from up here has ever donated to SarahPAC.
DeleteThey tend to skew their mailers towards the zip codes that have the highest historical donations.
Venetian Resort Hotel Casino
ReplyDeleteLas Vegas
WTF $509?
Was this around the time of the GOP debate? Why did it cost SarahPac $509 to put Sarah Palin up at the Venetian? Sarah Palin wasn't debating.
Sarah Palin plays game of political word association with CNN's Jake Tapper. For Jeb, Palin said, 'George.'
DeletePalin and Tapper are at the Venetian hotel and resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, the location for Tuesday's Republican debate.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2015/12/15/sarah_palin_on_obama_warned_ya.html
$509 at the Venetian was 1 of their modest rooms, 1 night + probably a room service meal and some bottles out of the mini bar. That is an expensive hotel.
DeleteI just checked, and it is an impressively expensive hotel in a city where hotels are massively overbuilt and therefore generally reasonable. Also impressively ostentatious.
DeletePS. $365 for a room in Orlando is also bleeping impressive. Talk about a city where hotels are massively overbuilt.
DeleteJust HOW MANY people did she have with her at those Outback Steakhouses???

DeleteDoes anybody know how
ReplyDeleteSarah "What's In It For Me?" Palin
gets her cut from SarahPac? Ya know she's getting her share of the loot.
SarahPAC pays all of Sarah's 'business' expense and all her 'business' and personal/family travel. She's not getting any cash payments directly although it would be legal and easy for her to do that. She could take a salary as the SarahPAC CEO. Hell, she could legally pay Todd or kids just for supervising her meds.
DeleteIt's possible that she and/or family members are 'employed' by Grey Strategies/Douglas McMarlin, NorthStar Strategies/Jason Recher, and/or Timothy Crawford. The payments to McMarlin are the most suspect.
Clapp, Peterson, Tiemessen, Thorsness L $448?
ReplyDeleteDoes this have anything to do with Track or Bristol?
Or Todd?
DeleteThat would just be for them to sneeze in her direction. So, those $448 are very suspect (and small enough to not raise questions of potential auditors...)
DeleteA consult call to get a recommendation on a criminal atty for the violent drunk Trackmarks would be my guess.
DeleteThat is just 2 hours at most. They have collected a PAC funded retainer for years.
DeleteMy reasonably priced, smallish town attorney charges $125 per hour. It is not unusual for high profile lawyer to charge $250-500/hour. They bill in quarter hour increments.
DeleteProbably the charge for a non criminal atty to show up and bail Trackmarks out after he beat up his gf.
DeleteTiemessen used to be on retainer, but it looks like she's paying him his hourly and he's doing barely any work for her this quarter.
DeleteKevin Fitzgerald, Track's attorney, would need paying from the personal funds of the Palins, and he must be costing them a bundle to make certain that Track gets off scot free from this little incident. He's earning his money for sure extending the trial date.
$23k for postage. That's about 92,000 stamps.
ReplyDeleteWho is the stamp collector in the Palin household?
If an every day Alaskan were pulling the crap she has, they would have been audited and charges filed!!
DeletePalin needs to have her skinny ass kicked and put away for a long period of time! She's a fraud!!
Who is the money order launderer?
Deletemoney orders.
DeleteDo they shop at Costco with money orders?
A bunch of commenters are questioning the 'postage' amount.
ReplyDeletePayments to HSP Direct are described in the reports as 'postage' but represent costs for all HSP service--whole direct mail fundraising projects and may even include payments for email list purchases or lease.
http://hspdirect.com/services/
I've always thought that HSP and postage is where the laundering is happening. Untraceable.
DeleteIF the Republican powers wanted to be rid of Sarah Palin they could just sic the auditors on her SarahPAC and they would make her go away for 10 years and a hefty fine.
DeleteShe can't launder through a corp like HSP. Laundering, if any, would be through McMarlin or Recher. And it wouldn't be illegal...just Sarah avoiding full transparency with her donors.
DeleteShe probably bought gift certificates for herself and added them to her meal tab at Outback. Do they have an Outback in Anchorage or Wasilla?
ReplyDeleteAnchorage - but, she never comes to the city that hates her. So, she must be using one in the Valley - Palmer/Wasilla.
DeleteThere is one Outback in Alaska. It's in Anchorage.
DeleteThe Outback meals cracked me up. Sarah would eat at Outback, just like we saw her picking up Panda Express.
DeleteShe seems to have the culinary sophistication that one would expect of her.
What I wonder is, what's with all the "consultants"? What do they consult about?
ReplyDeleteHer dirty wigs and crazy clothing? Her disjointed speeches? I mean, couldn't she have handled all that on her own?
Well, the treasurer is essential, the services to handle internet donations necessary. The others make her look like she is still a player. She is using them now solely for the cache and she has to keep using the same old same old as no one new would touch her. Bet she has little to no contact with them. Suspect at most they send her policy papers through email. Without consultants she is simply a con artist.
DeleteWITH consultants she's a con artist!
DeleteShe may have to convince Todd to get a job soon since she failed at her attempt to collect the life insurance she had on him.
ReplyDeleteHell, a third of the North Slope workers are being laid off as we speak due to low oil prices. I don't think Todd has a chance of pursuing his former career as oil begins to be less of a player here in AK and we head into another recession.
DeleteI don't see the family staying here for long. I think they might have to cut their losses, sell the AK compound before housing prices plummet and then go live in the AZ compound.
So Northstar Strategies is Jason Recher: http://www.polioptics.com/2012/02/episode-43-with-guests-jason-recher-of-northstar-strategies-and-nfl-digital-chief-jeff-berman/
ReplyDeleteYes, Sarah's "bodyguard" and "purse wrangler" when Todd is not available. He's paid very handsomely too, for now, for maybe three more quarters and then he'll have to move on to greener pastures.
DeleteAnd Grey Strategies is this slimebucket: http://www.apbspeakers.com/speaker/doug-mcmarlin
ReplyDeleteIs that the guy who manages Bristol's Instagram?
DeleteNope. Just checked Bristol's handler is David Martin.
DeleteI wonder how that gig's going?
She still has the Don't be a Dick, you know that all-time popular Christian inspirational piece, posted.
I'm wondering if he's doing much. They probably didn't like being told what to do, even if it was to make them more palatable to the Christian girls and women they seem to target.
brought in an additional $135,038.27
ReplyDelete-------------
Still $135K/quarter, tax free, is making pretty good “salary” considering she does absolutely nothing to earn it.
I still think they are money laundering from Todd's "business". I doubt the FEC checks to see if the donors are even alive. All they need is a phone book listing and say they were sent the money in cash.
She spent over $57 grand with HSP Direct on fundraising materials and postage to raise $138 grand.
DeleteNot a functional business plan, spending 40% of your income to actually earn that income, and the fundraising expenditures are running ever closer to the income figures each quarter, so soon, income and fundraising fees will meet. Then SarahPAC will pay a final payment to those it has been supporting since its inception and the doors will close. It will most likely happen at the end of this election cycle, as it is apparent that this model is not sustainable, especially with her rapidly waning visibility and negative association quotient.
What is that Carol person doing for $2300 a month?
ReplyDeleteBabysitting Tri-g still? Is one day shift and one night shift? Or is one M-F and on weekend??
I think she's a part time bastard wrangler for barstool.
DeleteIs this Carol or Marilyn? You know that they don't work for free. Traveling Nannies paid for by SarahPac?

Her husband has no medical bills: He is 1/16 Native so we- the rest of the taxpayer- are covering his bills.
ReplyDeleteWe know Todd is eligible to use Native healthcare but don't have any reason to think that he does. All indications are that the Palins have their own health insurance. Seriously?! How can you even imagine Todd Palin wouldn't have private health insurance and would use something akin to Medicaid?

I'm no fan of Outback Steaks. The one and only time we ate there, I got the worst case of food poisoning.
ReplyDeleteOne thought about Sarah's big tab with them. They may be like the Post Office selling postal money orders as a way for Sarah to launder some of those donations. She might be buying gift certificates which may be an acceptable form of payment for somebody on her list of people she has to pay. The person receiving the gift certificates could use them to entertain groups, so it's like found money. just a thought
My one experience at an Outbacks was that the steak was too tough to cut. Didn't get sick because I couldn't eat it.
DeleteThere's nothing to support the idea they've used postal money orders to get cash out of SarahPAC. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. All the SarahPAC financials are available for you to examine and see for youself. Do it.
DeleteThe baked potato wasn't good either.
