I do not blame you for not clicking the link which goes to that Young Conservatives website that Palin has been pimping lately.
However it borrows almost its entire post from a USA Today story which you can read by clicking here.
In the story a Dollywood employee sifts through the devastation left by that Tennessee fire and shares this story:
McCord, 24, sat on the bench where he found the paper, and called Carver over. Their work partners, Dollywood wardrobe manager Angela Davis and employee Kimberly Moore, had left to go to the restroom, McCord said.
In silence, the pair pored over the page, the edges of which were burned black, rendering many words illegible. But parts of the right side of the page were preserved enough to get the message across: it perfectly reflected, McCord said, the tragic natural disaster that had thrust Gatlinburg and Sevier County into the national spotlight the night before.
"O Lord, to thee will I cry: For the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field," the page reads, according to a picture of the page posted on McCord's Facebook.
"At first, we didn't know what part of the book it was from," McCord said on Tuesday night, "but we saw bits and pieces about fire and scorching the land, and how the beast groaned and roared for help."
The page appears to be from the first chapter of Joel from the King James version of the Bible.
"We were like this is unreal, this is unbelievable," McCord said. "When we had both fully read it, we looked at each other — and I will never forget this moment — we both burst into tears. I was ghost white, and we just prayed. There was nothing else to do.. Still to this moment, almost four hours after the fact, I don't have words for it.
I have words for it:
"Ridiculous"
"Pathetic"
"Confirmation bias"
Apparently Palin believes that these pages represent the "hand of God" sending some kind of message to these volunteers, however in the beginning of this article it points out that the fire was responsible for "destroying more than 150 structures, killing at least three people and displacing thousands."
If there were actually a message to be gleaned from this it would surely be "I hate you all and I want to see you burn!"
NO wonder these people are the preferred targets for scammer and charlatans from all over the world.
I have no problem with people believing in good things in a world where liberal haters spew shit and hatred every day.

Could be Sarah posting here folks...shrug?
DeleteGroan. Books often survive fires and papers and pages of book lie about among the other ruins. And a page from the bible is almost certain to mention some sort of catastrophe--a flood, fire, pestilence, etc. This is such a joke.
ReplyDeleteThe Bible mentions fire at least 549 times. There are at least 45 verses about fire. If the word Tennessee had appeared on that page, well, then they'd have something to talk about. BTW, I'm surprised someone hasn't come forward with a potato chip in the form of a flame.
ReplyDeleteSo the Hebrew Bible is full of fire and hellfire too? There would be thousands of references to fire, Sarah- naturally some of them were burned and escaped. It's arithmetic, not God. He has nothing to say to you. He sees you.

First off, those wildfires moved so quickly that drone footage is showing many of the trees surrounding the burned houses still have leaves on them. Fires aren't quite as quirky as tornadoes, but there's still weird patterns of damage. Also, Gatlinburg literally sits in the Smokey Mountain National Forest, while Pigeon Forge is outside. PF is largely developed--think Gryphen's description of Wasilla--main strip & lots of attractions on either side. Not really any forest until the edge of town when you start into the park.
ReplyDeleteWe live within just a few hours of the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area, so this is being treated as local news here. The stations have been interviewing our local residents, many of whom have vacation homes over there. I can confirm that for many folks around here, to go to DollyWood is to die happy.
Many organizations--religious & secular--are collecting supplies for residents & first responders in TN. Dolly herself has set up a new foundation & is pledging $1000 per month for each family who has been displaced.
Well with Sarah trauma is God's Will and all.
DeleteRape. Murder. Fire. it's all the same to her.
Dolly reached out to the victims of the fire. Sarah ignored our first people and let them starve and freeze to death. Yes God has a plan,and probably a rill special one for sarah.
DeleteMs. Dolly is a saint...Sarah Palin is a heathen.
DeleteI didn't go to the Young Conservatives website, but Politico is reporting Palin has an op-ed there today criticizing Trump's deal with Carrier as crony capitalism.
ReplyDeleteIs this a sign Sarah won't be part of his cabinet?

RE SARAH PALIN
ReplyDelete"Palin has no obvious qualifications for the Veterans Affairs job"
• Will Trump Insult Veterans by Sending Sarah Palin to the VA?
By Ed Kilgore
• is it possible Team Trump is about to spring something on us that ranks up there with Stephen Bannon in the White House?
• Palin has no obvious qualifications for the Veterans Affairs job.
• it is probably worth noting that her principal career contribution to health-care policy was the heinous “death panels” lie about the Affordable Care Act.
• As for her administrative capacities and stamina for hard work (an important criterion to Trump, we know, given his constant expressions of concern for Hillary Clinton’s fitness for the presidency), it is hard to forget her abrupt resignation as governor of Alaska just over halfway through her one term in office.
• But you’d think they’d be deal-killers at VA, given the very high priority Trump himself has so often placed on giving vets the best possible treatment (in both the medical and general sense).

Will Trump Insult Veterans by Sending Sarah Palin to the VA?
By Ed Kilgore
After lulling the political world into a sense of complacency with a series of Cabinet and other high-level appointments mostly composed of unimaginative conservative ideologues and plutocrats, is it possible Team Trump is about to spring something on us that ranks up there with Stephen Bannon in the White House? It’s possible, per this report from ABC:

Sarah Palin under consideration for Secretary of Veterans Affairs, sources tell @ABC News. -@shushwalshe

Yeah, Palin’s name came up vaguely from time to time in early lists of people who might gain office in a Trump administration. But it’s not like she’s been on some must-appoint list based on her service to the cause, given her invisibility in the mogul’s campaign after her strange endorsement speech in Iowa back in January. She famously did not even appear at the Republican National Convention, and Trump famously gave a flip, dismissive answer to questions about it, suggesting Palin’s Alaska was too far away from Cleveland.
More to the point, Palin has no obvious qualifications for the Veterans Affairs job. If appointed and confirmed, she would be the first non-veteran to head VA. Yes, she is the mother of a veteran: Her son Track did a tour of duty in Iraq. But it’s unlikely that would be cited very often as a credential, since Track has had a troubled life since returning to Alaska; indeed, he was arrested on assault and possession of firearms while intoxicated charges subsequent to an alleged domestic-violence incident the very day his mom went to Iowa to endorse Trump.
Perhaps this would not matter to Team Trump, but since she would at VA supervise a large and complicated health-care system, it is probably worth noting that her principal career contribution to health-care policy was the heinous “death panels” lie about the Affordable Care Act. As for her administrative capacities and stamina for hard work (an important criterion to Trump, we know, given his constant expressions of concern for Hillary Clinton’s fitness for the presidency), it is hard to forget her abrupt resignation as governor of Alaska just over halfway through her one term in office.
Such concerns might be no more than problematic for many jobs in the Trump administration. But you’d think they’d be deal-killers at VA, given the very high priority Trump himself has so often placed on giving vets the best possible treatment (in both the medical and general sense). I’d say consigning the nation’s former service members and their families to the perpetual sideshow sure to be generated by La Pasionaria of the Permafrost would be a broken promise of the highest order.

No, I think the message from God is "I gave you stupid bastards a whole world and told you to take care of it and you claim to worship me (when you aren't beating the snot out of people that don't worship me exactly like you do), yet you stomp all over my creation and then claim that I love you and will bail you out of the disaster caused caused by your failure to act like responsible adults. Well, f*ck y'all, you brainless greedy self-centered jackasses. Amen."

Did Jordan give birth? Sarah Palin hasn't say anything on her Facebook. Is Sarah embarrassed or is something wrong with the child?
DeleteI heard Track did a dirty deed to a baby.
DeleteMay be the girly friend was gonna turn him in and he freaked out?
5:59pm
DeleteI've always gotten a weird vibe from Track and I firmly believe that he's been more than a little familiar with many of the girls in his family.
Maybe being only a half-sibling makes him feel like he can do things that a full-blooded brother wouldn't?
At any rate he's more than a little unhinged. There's a reason that he's not allowed unsupervised visitation with his first kid.
Once a person loses the ability to reason and think critically all things are possible. "They" call it faith for no other reason than to secure the fact that their mental illness cannot be explained by modern medicine.

DeleteThe hand of God?
ReplyDeletePretty amazing that Sarah Palin's daughter who supposedly taken out of high school for 5 months for Mono (said to be an STD) and was said to be promiscuous went on to give birth to healthy Tripp. They said Bristol who had Mono was sent away to live with her aunt who is said have children of her own. Why would a woman with children of her own take in a girl contagious with Mono? Isn't that dangerous? Why didn't Sarah keep Bristol in her home if she wasn't contagious? If any of these facts or statements are wrong, my apologies. This is what was reported online. Maybe we should not believe what we read on line like some burnt piece of paper Sarah is so high and mighty on?
Hand of God needs to give her a SMACKDOWN!
DeleteMono is not an STD. 90% of the population has been exposed to it. Perhaps if Bristol had been parented and experienced good nutrition and a stable household, but who are we kidding? Bristol did not catch Mono despite drug and alcohol abuse and sexual promiscuity. She was sent away in order to hide her growing fetus. What happened to that fetus, Bris?
DeleteWell, considering that religious people consider mentally retarded and/or physically disabled kids as "gifts from god" I have to question their sanity on so many levels.
ReplyDeleteWhat would you call a mother with a mentally retarded child, borderline retarded child, a DS child or a child that needs extra attention and the mother is more concerned about her narcissistic self and doesn't want to stay home?
DeleteIsn't it time for that demented old fart at that church to make comments about how these fires, floods and tornadoes are "Gawd's Punishment" for being assholes???
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for the horrid experience that these poor people have had, and think that they deserve better. Thank Gaia that there were no worse casualties. Houses can be rebuilt, things can be replaced; the lives of those who are beloved are irreplaceable.
But yeah, finding charred paper isn't particularly inspiring.
Since somebody brought up Bristol and mono.

Bristol Palin and Mono – How did she get Pregnant?
7 September 2008 by Dominick
(Written together with Ashtyn Law)
Amidst rumors that Bristol Palin could possibly be the mother of her little brother Trig, the Palins have stated that Sarah Palin is the mommy and have supported this claim by saying that:
A. Bristol Palin was out of school for the five months leading up to the birth of Trig due to mono not to give birth
B. Bristol is five months pregnant, meaning her child’s conception occurred before Trig was born
That brings up some interesting questions. First of all, if Bristol was sick with mono how could she have gotten pregnant?
Mono is a highly infectious disease. Her parents kept her out of school, but let her go out long enough to get pregnant? Doesn’t that raise further questions about how effective the Palins are as parents?
Additionally how was she able to get in a car accident and three traffic violations if she was sick at home with mono?
We’ve all seen the pictures of Bristol with young Trig in the hospital after he was born. This was a baby born prematurely. I wouldn’t let a sick person around any baby let alone one with special needs and possible complications from being born nearly a month prematurely. In these same pictures, Bristol does look tired and somewhat worn out. She also looks like she’s wearing an extra large sweatshirt to conceal her waist. Sarah Palin looks happy, thin, and incredibly perky for just having given birth. Of course, she didn’t seem to gain any weight to begin with, so maybe Trig hid in her kidney for those eight months?
Let’s not even get into the facts surrounding the birth. She hid her pregnancy until the seventh month. She supposedly flew home from Texas and gave birth 22 hours after her water broke. The airline crew didn’t even know she was pregnant, or even that she was about to give birth for that matter. Having given birth to a son who was supposedly born one month early she returned to work three days later. These do not seem to be the signs of a mother who has just given birth.
How do you explain the lack of gained weight? I saw her picture from her first pregnancy. She gained a lot. This time, she gained none, but Bristol looks pregnant in pictures taken just a month before Trig was born. She looks happy, and is with her family, despite being kept home with mono during this time. So, seriously, how did she get pregnant? Was Levi just so horny he decided to take the risk? Is Levi even really the father?
Who knows. Only the Palins and the doctor who delivered Trig truly know the truth. Until then, we can only speculate based on what facts are known.
What is old Cathy Baldwin Johnson up to? Not high risk obstetrics lol!!
DeleteThe supposed facts you are looking for will never see the light of day. Either because they don't exist and the trig truthers have had it wrong all along, or because it it simply buried too deep and that is that.
DeleteAt this point, years later, none of it matters. Get on with your life.
If you had been following this blog you would know that neither Bristol nor Sarah birthed Trig and of course Levi is not the father.
DeleteI had mono as a teen. Lasted about a month,not Five.
DeleteNow What was the dr who delivered Tri g ' expertise? ?? Didn't she specialize in inbreds?
DeleteWell I believe the fires was the work of Mother Nature.
ReplyDeleteShe is sending a message to all the deporables that voted to trump: do not mess with Mother Nature and you better do something about climate change.
Of course those deporables that want the federal government out of their lives will be running to collect money to rebuild and FEMA houses.
