Sarah Palin must be feeling neglected so she resurrects old stories from the past as an attack on journalists.

Courtesy of Palin's Facebook page: 

Nice to see light shine. Doesn’t it make you wonder about other accusations (absolutely false, in Todd’s and my case) that are reported as truth? Total lies that escape real journalists’ “who/what/where/when/why” ethical reporting practices. - SP 

I have to tell ya that this really feels like Palin is specifically baiting me, since a number of these stories involved me in one way or another. 

I guess somebody is feeling lonely, and is desperate for people to talk about her again.

Well I am pretty damn tired of constantly posting about Donald Trump so why the hell not?

That Star Magazine cover seems to be reporting on my Splitsville story so for the handful of you who may not be familiar with it, here is a link.

I will also include this follow up post that I made last year after receiving some corrections from Levi Johnston.

As you can see the post did contain some misinformation provided to me by Tank Jones, who I hired as a private investigator.  However the story of their marital problems, Palin's desire to leave the state, and the fact that she was looking to get a job in media (We thought at the time talk radio, but it turned out to be Fox News.) all turned out to be accurate.

Now let's move on to the Shailey Tripp story.

I first reported on that story only after The National Enquirer story came out with it, even though I had been hearing about it for weeks.

Later of course I made contact with Shailey and recorded an interview with her.

(Here is a transcript for those who do not want to listen to the audio.)

Of course Sarah and Todd denied the story vehemently ("Have you seen Todd?"), but this still remains a case of she said she said. You can choose for yourself who seems more believable.

I have to say that if Palin had not brought these old stories up that I was prepared to never talk about them again. They are, after all, old news.

But since she opened Pandora's Box, why not take a look at all of the embarrassing things inside?

Sarah Palin's ghostwriter congratulates Bristol's ghostwriter for awesome ghostwriting.

Great job Bristol! https://t.co/rKxrbwiRpP

— Sarah Palin (@SarahPalinUSA) June 4, 2017

So that was Palin's tweet today which linked back to her crappy websites to overladen with advertising that you can barely locate the content. (And then once you do you wish you had stopped at the advertisement for "Thinner Thighs in Ten Days.")

However if you visit Bristol's ghostwritten blog (A place I visit so rarely these days I had to follow a trail of dried up breadcrumbs to locate it again.) you will find a cobbled together post attacking Kathy Griffin for her Donald Trump's severed head imagery, with several shots at Levi Johnston just for shits and giggles.

It reads like the Facebook post of a woman who has waited years to finally get back at the woman who stole her boyfriend and made her feel worthless and alone.

Always remember, Kathy Griffin and Levi Johnston dated. #TheWorldIsDarkerThanYouKnow pic.twitter.com/IkxFvFxK

— Charlotte Is Chic (@CharlotteIsChic) April 26, 2012

(Actually the weren't ever really dating, it was all for show, though apparently Levi never clued Bristol in on the ruse.)

At the end of this rant Bristol's ghostwriter adds this:  

Her jokes have never been funny to me.. probably because the only ones I’ve ever heard – have been directed at me or my family. (Well of course, the Palins rarely care about anything that does not effect them directly.)


I’m with the rest of the world on her recent photo school, and can’t believe a grown woman would pose like she did – she really does look like the photos you see of Isis Terrorists – and now she’s trying to play some role of a victim? Blaming white men?? I don’t get how you can even try to turn the tables on this one. Our president didn’t break you; you broke yourself, and you’re continuing to break any sort of “comedic career” by blaming everyone else. 

Kathy Griffin ain’t nooooo freaking victim in my eyes. 

I actually understand this ghostwriter's phony sentiment since it echoes my very real sentiment concerning the constant victim playing of the Palin clan.

For the entire nine years I have been covering them they have constantly whined about stalkers, liberals, ex-boyfriends, the "lamesteam media," comedians, talk show hosts, book authors, bloggers, etc., etc., etc..

So for the Palin clan (And their ghostwriters.) to call out a comedian for playing the victim is laugh out loud funny.

As is the idea that Sarah Palin's ghostwriter just authored a post, congratulating Bristol Palin's ghostwriter, for ghostwriting an attack on one of their many, many enemies.

It is almost as bizarre as congratulating a woman for giving birth to a child that she simply adopted.

So yes it appears that Bristol Palin has taken all of the younger children to Texas with her. Why?

Beautiful day for a stroll with two of my favorites!! I have been bringing my tumbler everywhere with me lately. I'm so close to the end of my pregnancy, and honestly still feel 100% 🙌🏼 I have so much energy, and cannot wait to meet our baby girl 💕 I highly recommend @teamiblends to all you mommas out there! It's been a lifesaver for me! Use my code BRISTOL for 10% off!! #teamimommi #thankyouteami #teami

A post shared by Bristol Meyer (@bsmp2) on Apr 4, 2017 at 4:11pm PDT

So this picture has been getting a lot of attention since yesterday, so I thought we should address it in a post.

First off this does NOT mean that Bristol is Trig's mom and is no longer bothering to hide it.

Remember I had Levi here in my house multiple times and we discussed the morning of Trig's birth.

He picked Bristol up from home and when he arrived at the hospital Trig had already arrived and Sarah Palin was dressed.

He confirmed that this picture was taken on that day.

 So if Bristol is not the mother, then why was she allowed to take Trig out of school and fly him all the way across the country to Texas?

Well I don't know for sure, but if I were to venture a guess I would suggest that it may be related to this story about an out of control Track Palin.

Bristol fleeing the state and taking the youngest children with her would seem appropriate in response to what is laid out in that story and what I have learned on my own about Track over the years.

And that would also help to explain the suddenness of the decision to move. (They did not even wait until school was out and there is less than two months left to go.)

Anyhow that is my theory as of now, if anybody has any actual evidence to the contrary feel free to send it to my e-mail or message me on Facebook.

E Online writes a gushy happy birthday post to Bristol Palin consisting mostly of information from her Instagram account. Have your vomit bags ate the ready.

Courtesy of E Online:

As the famous daughter to former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin celebrates her birthday Tuesday, it's impossible not to highlight the past 12 months that have been filled with milestones and memorable moments. 

Shortly before celebrating Christmas, Bristol welcomed a beautiful baby girl into her family. "My sweet Sailor Grace was born yesterday, our family couldn't be more complete," she shared from the hospital. "My heart just doubled."

The article then skims the surface of Bristol's custody battle with Levi, but completely glosses over her court battle with Dakota to first establish that the baby was his, and then his fight to get some kind of custody.

Bristol would address the development in a lengthy Instagram post. "These babies are my world and I will always be doing what is best for them. Every child deserves two loving parents, so I will continue to encourage that no matter what. I have never, and will never, keep them from having a positive relationship with their fathers," she wrote. "I did not 'lose' any custody case—my son has always spent most of his time with me and he will continue to do so, he is happy, healthy, and knows both of his parents love him." 

Ultimately, everything changed when Bristol said "I Do" to her on-again, off-again boyfriend Dakota Meyer in June. 

"We are so happy to share with loved ones the wonderful news that we got married!" the couple announced to Entertainment Tonight. "Hard work and God's grace are the foundation of our new life together, and with the love and support of our family we know we can get through anything."

As all of you here know that custody battle with Levi was ugly as hell, and the only reason that he ended up with what he did is because she was freaked out by the fact that he might start going to the media. In the end she acquiesced to his demands just to get him to stop talking to me.

(Which of course he did. Probably.)

As for Dakota well she just pulled a reverse Donald Trump on him and grabbed him with her.....uh....what are we calling it these days? Kitty cat?

Now hat she has him safely..uh..kitty cat whipped, she can go on and pretend this was the plan all along.

The article then refers to a number of Bristol's Instagram posts insisting that everything is perfect in her sad little life, and ends with this completely nonsensical quote which she undoubtedly stole from an equally ignorant Instagram user:

"Life is full of ups and downs but in the end, you'll end up where you're supposed to be."

Bristol should visit a hospital burn unit or a battered woman's shelter sometime and spout her nonsense to them. I am sure they would have quite an interesting reaction.

So I was kind of waiting for Bristol to introduce her shiny new life to the tabloids and start trying to increase her name recognition for whatever she and her mother have planned next.

As of right now it appears that her short term plan is to continue using her kids to hawk these ridiculous energy drinks, but I am confident that they have a more complex long term plan in mind.

And I think it very likely centers around Dakota.

After all their name is shit right now, especially after Trump loses this election, and their only hope of reinventing themselves is as the wife and mother-in-law of a Medal of Honor winner.

Well it looks like Todd Palin has made a full, and somewhat miraculous recovery.

Courtesy of the Bride of Frankenstein's Facebook page: 

And the men... they brought home dinner. 

Fresh organic pure protein from God's green earth. (I can't get skunked! It's my turn next.)

 I am usually somewhat underwhelmed with the Toad, but I have to say that this is quite a feat considering that it was only six month ago that he was in intensive care.

Remember Palin's description of his injuries?

He's still in ICU under care of a superbly skilled staff. A long surgery repaired numerous breaks in Todd's upper body, docs essentially lifted and secured every rib with steel bands, anchored the broken clavicle with plates and rods, set aside repair of a broken shoulder for later (also later are more minor things like ACL/MCL knee injuries), still mechanically inflating one collapsed lung while other bruised lung, liver, etc., are watched; chest drain is working overtime to keep things clear.

Numerous breaks, steel bands holding his ribs in place, a deflated lung, these are life threatening injuries.

So even to walk around on pavement without stopping to catch his breath or leaning on something for support is impressive, but to trudge through the Alaskan wilderness while packing 60 to 80 pounds of antlers is quite a feat indeed.

Especially for a fifty two year old man, whose recuperative abilities will have slowed down significantly.

Now before all of you start jumping on Todd for killing this magnificent animal, you need to remember that in Alaska hunting is something that almost EVERY Alaskan male does at least a few times in their lives. And many do it every season.

I have known doctors, lawyers, psychiatrists, bankers, you name it who drop everything during hunting season and head on out to shoot something. And going fishing is almost universal up here, for both sexes.

Now as for Sarah going hunting, that is another story altogether.

 Yes Palin certainly does love to have her picture taken with dead things.

But from what I have heard it is quite unlikely that she killed ANY of them.

In fact, according to Levi, Todd is not much of a hunter either, and the trophies on his walls were purchased and not shot by anybody in the family.

However it feeds into Palin's mythology about her family that they are seen as big time hunters.

And she is not above faking a trophy, or a hunt, or just about anything else to further that agenda.

Not that I am saying that is what happened in this case, I am only pointing out that there is a pattern.

Is it the two year anniversary of the great Palin brawl? Why yes I do believe it is.

Ah it just seem like yesterday when we were talking about this incredibly embarrassing episode of the Palin family drama.

Before there were custody battles with Dakota, or Track's domestic abuse arrest, or snowmachine "accidents" for Todd in the news, there was the brawl.

If you remember it seemed to take forever for the events of September 6, 2014 to finally completely bubble to the surface. Oh sure we had anonymous tips and intriguing comments to follow, but it was not until October the 21st, that we finally got pictures.

And not until the next day that all of that great audio was finally released by the APD:

Through sobs, Bristol Palin, described as "heavily intoxicated" in the police report, tells police she was pushed to the ground and dragged across the grass while Klingenmeyer called her names. “They took my $300 sunglasses, they took my f**king shoes and I’m f**king just left here?” 

The officer asks where she’s injured. “My f**king knees, my face, where’s my sh*t? I have a 5-year-old in the car,” she replies.

Such a great day.

Of course from there the whole thing took off, and was covered by all kinds of news outlets.

One of my favorite parts was when poor Nancy French was tasked with telling Bristol's side of the story:

After I got out of the car, I didn’t get far. I never even got to talk to his mom, because a guy in his late thirties or early forties got in my face. He was towering over me – probably at 6 foot something and over 200 pounds. He puffed his chest out and started yelling. 

“You c-nt!” he looked right in my eyes and said. “Get the f-ck out of here, you slut!” 

 I was alarmed that things had gotten so bad so fast. But it got even worse when this guy started pushing me. He had his hands on me, pushing me down. That’s when I swung and hit his face. 

 Some would say I should’ve never retaliated in defense against him, but certainly he should never have pushed a girl. It didn’t phase him. He pushed me down to the ground and kept me there. 

It was scary and awful. He held me down until someone got me out of the situation. 

That’s it – that’s the story.

Yeah great story, except it did not match ANY other person's version of events, and in fact did not even match what Bristol told the cops on the released audio.

So here's a little something that I was not able to share before.

Do you remember this guy?

He's the guy who got fired by Todd's pals the McKenna brothers for talking to the press.

Well do you know who else he is?

He's the brother of Levi and Sunny's attorney Darryl Thompson. Oh yeah, that's right.

And they had an appointment before the judge on the Monday following the brawl. So their attorney came armed with this incredible tale to discuss with the judge concerning Bristol's parenting skills.

So yes that means I also knew all about the brawl only a few days after it happened, because part of my deal about lending the Johnstons the money was that they keep me updated on the progress of the custody case

However they told it to me in my capacity as a friend, and not as a blogger, so I was unable to share it with ANYONE until I started getting information from other sources.

Do you have any idea how hard that was for me?

Here was one of the BIGGEST Palin stories to ever come out, and my hands were literally tied by the promises I made. (The custody case is over now so I am not longer bound by that promise.)

Fortunately for all of us the information finally came out in a rather spectacular fashion, so even though I did not get the scoop, it was still great to cover this story.

And since it was still popping up in the news even several months later it just made the whole thing worth it.

Time to straighten out some facts about Splitsville. With assistance from Levi Johnston.

So as most of you know the 2009 post "Splitsville" was one of my biggest and most controversial posts of all time.

It was packed with all sorts of explosive and at that time unknown information about Sarah Palin, her marriage, and her plans for the future.

Unfortunately as it turns out much of it was also bullshit.

As most of you already know my source for the Splitsville story was Tank Jones who I had hired as a private investigator.

There is always a risk going with a single source on a story, but since Jones was both a well respected and licensed private investigator with unfettered access to Levi Johnston, there was literally no reason to question the "facts" that he was sharing with me.

At the time of the post Sarah Palin had essentially disappeared from Twitter and Facebook and people were wondering what was going on behind the scenes.

My post filled in a gap left by her sudden silence.

As time went on I became aware that some of the things that I predicted in the post did not come to pass, and that some of the things that Tank shared with me were never backed up with facts from any other news outlets or even gossip sites.

However until I talked with Levi I was never sure which things were for sure incorrect, and which things were true but never confirmed.

So let's just go through the post and knock them out one by one.

The first one, and the biggest reveal, was that Sarah and Todd were planning to end their marriage.

According to Levi yes that was accurate, and it was something that they argued and threatened each other with all of the time.

In fact the reason why the post blew up the way that it did is because my friend Dennis Zaki, who had home phone numbers for some of Palin's former staff members, was able to confirm that the story of their marriage falling apart was well known within that tight circle.

Of course the marriage remains, on the surface, still intact. However I have heard from other sources, not Levi, that the marriage is all for show and that part of the reason they will not simply get a divorce is because Palin refuses to give me, and others, the satisfaction of knowing we were right.

(Actually to be honest I find this staying together to spite me even more satisfying.)

The land purchase in Montana.

Yeah, that was bullshit. I have no idea why Tank told me that, but according to Levi he never heard them talk about it. And of course they ended up buying land in Arizona not Montana.

The missing wedding ring thrown into Lake Lucille.

Levi has no idea where that story came from, but it did not come from him.

(He did confirm the portion about loud arguments and Sarah's emotional distress however.)

The story of the Todd pulling a gun on Levi.

Now this one is particularly upsetting because even before I talked to Tank about the story, and had it confirmed by him, I was asked by another reporter in town whether I had heard it or not. Based on the fact that it was heard by others and Tank confirmed it, I felt confident in reporting it on the blog.

I should not have done so, because according to Levi it never happened.

In fact though things were strained between Levi and Todd on several occasions for the most part he always liked Todd.

In the post I also mentioned Levi's upcoming Vanity Fair article, which up until then nobody had heard about. In that article Levi confirmed a number of things mentioned on the Splitsville post.

The final part of the post was about Sherry Johnston's conviction for selling Oxycontin and yes Levi, along with his whole family, believe that Palin set her up.

Levi does not like to talk about that much, but my take is that he feels that it was a warning as to what Palin was willing to do to keep him in line.

In many ways Levi remains intimidated by the Palins and is afraid of what they might do in retaliation for things that he talks about publicly.

For all of you who are constantly complaining about folks in Alaska not divulging secrets about the Sarah Palin and her family, just imagine hearing how people were jailed, fired from their jobs, or run out of town for doing so, and you might understand why certain people in the know might decide it was better simply to keep that information to themselves.

Now I have more posts coming on this topic, but with all that is happening in politics, and the requirements from my actual job, I do not have the hours needed to devote to them right now.

I will post them when I can. Which will hopefully be soon.

Another day, another court date for Levi and Sunny Johnston.

As has been mentioned earlier on this blog Levi and Sunny appeared in court this morning, even though the custody case has been settled.

Most of you have already guessed why Bristol is still able to drag Levi through the court system, though I am apparently not supposed to state it definitively here on IM. Let's just say that today's hearing, as you can determine for yourself by visiting Court View, should be entitled the "Shut Gryphen up!" hearing.

Apparently, if my sources are correct, Bristol seems to believe that Levi controls me and can somehow keep me from posting anything that could prove damaging to her.

For the record, no he cannot.

However I think that once that part has been established today in court that the next plan will be to simply take Levi back to court as often as they can in the future and punish him financially for every negative story I write about her or her family with information that he may, or may not have provided during our conversations. (I DO have other sources still.)

In fact I learned yesterday that CSSD cleaned out Levi's accounts, and took all of the money that he had in there earmarked for the building of that house for his mother.

If I had to guess I would imagine that SOMEBODY notified the department about the Johnston GoFundMe account and tried to make sure that the money would not reach their lawyer. However the lawyer money was paid so instead they simply got the money for Sherry's house.

Just more dirty tricks my friends.

So let me take a minute to explain what I don't think a lot of people understand about Levi's case.

It may seem to simply be a child custody case, but in fact it is a 1st Amendment case.

Let me explain what I mean by that.

You see ever since Levi and Bristol split up, she and her mother have used Tripp, and other tactics, to keep Levi quiet about the things that he saw while living with them, and while dating her.

In my opinion Sherry Johnston's drug conviction was just one of those tactics. (Trust me, how she came to be arrested and the length of her conviction were HIGHLY unusual.)

When Levi hooked up with Rex and Tank (And remember that was just an attempt to get his son back in his life as well.) he started to tell the media those very stories, but at some point his handlers were compromised and once again Levi became afraid to speak freely.

(For instance do you remember when Levi supposedly apologized publicly to the Palins for the things he said in the media? Yeah? Well he never did that, in fact he only found out about it AFTER it had been published. But he was too intimidated by what they might do to correct that story.)

If you have been paying attention, EVERY time Levi came off of his leash, even to simply explain that he did NOT owe the amount of child support that was being reported in the media, he has suffered consequences. Which most of the time resulted in a loss of contact with his son.

After awhile you become afraid to even say your name to a reporter, much less tell your story.

To put that into perspective that would be like if YOU were constantly afraid that if you talked about your child, your ex, or some seemingly innocuous part of your life, with ANYBODY, that it might show up in a tabloid or blog somewhere and you would suddenly have no contact with your child or you would be viciously attacked in the press.

So when Levi came to me, after exhausting all other possibilities, you have understand how desperate he had become.

I gave him the money for his lawyer with no strings attached, but Levi felt it was only right to answer some of my questions, and so he did. Even though at the time he worried about the backlash, I assured him that nothing would be reported until AFTER the custody case was decided.

And I kept my word.

I must explain in my defense that I carefully laid this whole thing out for Levi and explained how he would be safe from retaliation if he were only to avoid a couple of missteps.

One of those missteps was to ever put trust into any deal from Bristol or her attorneys, or to believe that they would ever keep their side of any bargain.

Unfortunately I was not able to attend Levi's hearings with him and not everything went the way it was supposed to. For that reason we now find ourselves where we are today.

Today's hearing was closed so I will not be told what happened, and therefore cannot share it here.

I can tell you that Levi and Sunny have been under assault for this entire week, and that is most likely why Sunny has deleted her Facebook page.

I don't know what comes next for Levi and Sunny but I do know that I have no intention of being silenced.

In the meantime those who are helping to destroy this young couple's life seem to be largely untouched by any such drama.

Courtesy of Bristol's blog:

Dakota and I have a dilemma probably biweekly. He thinks clean shaven looks the best. 

But, I disagree! I like him scruffy. 

He says if I’m right – and people agree with me more – he’ll keep it scruffy. 

If I’m wrong – he can shave whenever. 

HELP ME OUT! Vote which look is best!

Yes while Levi and Sunny fight to keep their family together and pay their bills those with the means simply get to debate the importance of grooming.

Must be nice.

As promised this is my Monday post about the Johnston's Go Fund Me page.

So there is a slim possibly at this point that there are some of you who do not know that on Friday Levi and Sunny started a Go Fund Me account.

In just over an hour they had raised a $1,000.

By the end of the day Alaska time they had met their initial goal of $5,000.

So with the urging of myself and a whole lot of IMers they raised the amount to the one that I had suggested earlier, $10,000. And by the time yesterday was over they had met that goal as well.

News of the account has now been covered by TMZ, Raw Story, International Business Times, and the Washington Post.

There is still quite a bit of misinformation in the comment section of those sites, but I noticed some stalwart IMers waded in to correct the record. (Thanks for that by the way.)

Today Sunny withdrew some of that money to pay off the lawyers, and is preparing to take out more soon to pay off a number of other debts.

As you can imagine both she and Levi and extraordinarily grateful and touched by the outpouring of support and goodwill.

In fact Sunny sent me this message today to share with all of you:

We just want to say thank you, and to share with you that around this time last year we had been forced to sell everything we could think of just to make ends meet, and Levi was away working on the slope while I had a brand new baby to care for and no real place to call home (I don't know if that's too much information, but it's true.) 

But life has really turned around since then... I'm still surprised we reached our goal so quickly.

This, what you have done, will take a lot of pressure off of us. We are already planning to use any money that is not needed immediately for lawyer fees, or to pay outstanding debts, to pay down some of the back child support that Levi still owes.

Like most families we have a number of plans for our future and hope to become successful enough to one day give back to others like all of you have given to us.

Maybe we can help other fathers fighting for their kids. Or help children who cannot afford a good education.Things of that nature.

We have already started to pay it forward by giving away everything for free at our garage sale this weekend. So you all have already inspired us a lot. 

It feels good to know there are people on our side when so many out there have such a terrible image of who Levi is because of the Palin's misinformation for so many years. 

It's good to know that some people do their homework and can look past a negative headline, instead of immediately jumping to a false conclusion based on lies put forward by those trying to destroy Levi's reputation and credibility. 

Let me just remind you that standing up for yourself against the Palins here in Alaska is no easy feat, and it is infinitely worse when you live in the same small town. So you may judge Levi and Sunny however you wish, but I know the courage that it took to make their situation public and to stand up for their family, knowing the kinds of repercussions coming their way.

Remember the Palins never let a slight go unchallenged, and if payback is a bitch, well you know what she looks like.

P.S. I thought I would take a moment to say that what you guys have done for these two young people is something for which all of you should be extremely proud.

I know that I am both proud of you, and humbled by the response.

Kind of hard to call ourselves the Immoral Minority when there are so many selfless and inspiring people hanging out here isn't it?  

Now let's see if you were all serious about wanting to help Levi and Sunny.

Here is the link to their new Go Fund Me page.

And here is the description of why they are asking for the money:

Hello everyone we are Levi and Sunny Johnston of Wasilla, Alaska. As we are sure many of you are aware we have been engaged in a long and rather protracted legal battle to retain custody of Levi's son Tripp. The good news is that it appears the custody situation is settled. The bad news is that we still owe many thousands of dollars in legal fees. 

 Unlike some we are not able to raise money through fundraising e-mails or SuperPACS and are instead asking for your help in paying these bills and allowing us to get back to the important job of raising our family. 

 Though feeling somewhat overwhelmed it had never occurred to us to ask for money using Go Fund Me, but after so many generous people reached out to us and offered their help we decided to swallow our pride and take them up on their extremely kind offers. 

 Anything that you can give would be much appreciated. And every dime will go toward attorney fees and the outstanding debts that we accrued during this long and very difficult legal battle.

Like I explained before, Levi and Sunny are very proud people, so this is not coming easy for them.

However I know that they are really struggling to pay the $1,700 child support payments, their attorney fees, their new mortgage, and to keep their children clothed and fed.

And as I mentioned earlier Bristol is simply not going to stop trying to nickel and dime Levi to death despite now having the custody situation resolved by the court.

I told Levi way back in the beginning that she would never stop trying to get him back in her life, break up his marriage, or at the very least shut him up for good.

Remember this is finally YOUR chance to do your part to stop the Palins from crushing yet another Alaskan family under their heel like they have done so many times before.

Make no mistake the custody situation is decided, so every filing that happens after the final papers were signed is all about making sure that Levi can never tell any truths that the Palins do not want told.

Period.

Now stand back, because the trolls they are a coming.

Bristol Palin's ex on her mothering skills: "She's the worst mom EVER! I'd be f**ckin' devastated if I had a kid with her."

Okay so that clip was from 2012, and in response Levi Johnston decided that he had finally had all he could take and wanted to try one more time to get his son back into his life.

So as you all know his initial attempts hit a brick wall called Bristol Palin, who at that time had all of the power, all of the money, and no reason whatsoever to give him his rights as a father.

Ultimately that led Levi to my door, and what happened next I detailed in this post.

Now let me point out that even at that time Levi was adamant about taking the high road and not attacking Bristol. And in fact he never once said that she was a bad mother.

However as we talked about all that had happened up until that point it was pretty clear that she was certainly not going to be nominated for mother of the year.

Nor was it likely that she was going to give up control without a serious, costly battle.

Courtesy of a Johnston family confidant.

Yep, a costly battle indeed.

So after two years of the back and forth filings which were designed to drain Levi's financial resources (Sorry Bristol I screwed that up for you didn't I?), finally both parties came to an agreement and everything appeared to be settled.

Note that I said, "appeared to be settled."

It was around then that some misleading stories were leaked to the press saying that Levi owed over $80,000 in child support.

So Levi tried to set the record straight. Twice.

Now notice that there was still no attack on Bristol in those posts and articles.

However they resulted in this: 

Life & Style Weekly has exclusively learned that Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol Palin’s son Tripp, 7, has been actively trying to have a fling with her. 

“He’s been texting Bristol, asking her to hook up again. He actually wrote, ‘Come cuddle me,’ and ‘Come lay that sexy a-- down right up tight next to me and watch a movie with me,” a source reveals.

For the record what's written is not exactly accurate. But it did hurt.

Ultimately Levi and Sunny's relationship grew stronger, and today they are doing very well.  Very well indeed.

So surely, I thought, now Levi would want to release me from my promise and let me do my thing.

But nope. Still wanted to be the good guy.

Pissing me off here buddy.

So I made a deal, once I revealed our friendship I would not post anything directed at Bristol specifically, and focus instead on the bigger story about his time with the Palin family and what he saw, IF Bristol did not go after either me, him, or Sunny directly.

I can't say that either he nor Sunny agreed to that, but then again it was not up for discussion. 

After some initial rumblings I even let Bristol know of my intentions.

As you now know that was not how things were going to work out.

Which brings us to this post today.

Like I said earlier I received a lot of interesting information from the Johnstons, their friends, and their family members over the last two years.

Much of it Sunny and Levi did not want to ever see on the internet.

However this is my blog, and ultimately my decision.

I thought I made myself pretty clear.

You may remember that I wrote a post where I cautioned Bristol against going after the Johnstons for talking to me.

Yeah well some people simply cannot take a hint.

Remember this?

Here is the rest that I originally was not going to post.

And trust me this attitude is nothing new.

I also learned during my many talks with Levi and Sunny that when Levi first talked about the new love in his life, and expressed a desire to have her meet his son, that Bristol responded by threatening to get a restraining order against Sunny to keep her away from Tripp.

And this happened even though Sunny was working as a pre-school teacher.

It didn't matter. All that mattered was that Bristol still had the power to keep Levi from seeing his son, and if he did not kiss her ass and do what she wanted she would make sure that never happened.

And it has been pretty much downhill from there. 

So without going into too much detail, after my last post on this topic there was a deal offered to Levi if he could get me to shut up.

Levi really wanted to pursue that deal and asked me if I could cool it.

Believe me when I say that I in no way wanted to play ball with Bristol and her new husband. (Oh yeah, Dakota is now officially a player in this little melodrama as well. In fact if you check Court View you can see that it was his lawyer, Kimberlee Colbo, who submitted the latest filings.) But this is their life after all and so I do not feel I have the right to stand in the way of any kind of arrangement which might make their situation better.

So I grudgingly agreed. Temporarily. (For those who were wondering why I was not posting about the Johnstons, well now you know.)

Since you are reading this it should be pretty obvious that the deal fell through. (Actually I am of the opinion that there was no real deal on the table and that those were simply attempts to delay the inevitable.)

Not only that but due to some strong arm tactics I am now released from my earlier promise to keep certain things quiet.

In other words kids, somebody better put the Maytag repairman on speed dial because there are some appliances which will desperately require his services any minute now.

P.S. By the way those texts up top are nothing compared to what's coming.

Levi and Sunny Johnston: What the tabloids DON'T tell you.

So before we jump into any of the reams of information that Levi and Sunny shared with me over the last two and a half years, I thought I would clear up a couple of misconceptions.

First off they are both much better looking in person than they appear in photographs.

(No I am not kidding.)

Secondly they are deeply in love and committed to their marriage, despite numerous attempts to tear them apart.

Thirdly they are great parents.

That last one is kind of a big deal to me, as I often judge people by how they are with children.

Sunny is a devoted and doting mom, and Levi is a giant marshmallow around his daughters.

Even on Levi's first visit to my house, when he was sizing me up and trying to be all tough and stoic, around his little girl (There was only one at the time) he was a big puddle of mush.

Which in my world is the sign of a real man.

It might also interest you to know that Levi is not the barely coherent Jethro Bodine caricature that we have been led to believe that he was.

In fact he is quite articulate and intelligent, in his own way.

While Levi is not what you would consider an intellectual in the strictest sense of the word, he is an incredibly capable young man.

For instance right now Levi is building a house for his mother to live in.

Now I can quote Shakespeare and argue philosophy with the best of them, but if I built my mother a house the odds are good that the roof would cave in and crush her the minute she closed the door behind her.

I have also gone fishing with Levi, and the guy knows everything about fishing in Alaska.

Everything.

In fact he almost lives in the woods, hunting and fishing, when he is not working 12 hour days to support his family.

(Before you get any ideas I have already locked up Levi as my go to guy in the case of a Zombie Apocalypse.)

So let's start from the beginning.

As I am sure most of you know I had formed a friendship with Levi Johnston's sister and mother way back in 2009.

I had interviewed them, given them advice, and even managed Sadie's blog for a time.

I had at one point also hired Tank Jones to work for me at the same time that he was supposedly managing Levi's "career."

However I had only met Levi twice. Once at his mother's sentencing, and once at Sadie's graduation.

Both times he was polite but a little standoffish.

And why not? Literally everybody had told him I was to be avoided at all cost. (Except for his mom and his sister of course.)

In 2012 I had sent a friend request to Levi's wife Sunny, and she accepted.

I used that connection to send her links to articles that mentioned Levi or to keep her up to date on the things going on in the Palin's lives which might affect her and Levi, and of course Tripp. 

Through that connection I heard about the manipulations and barrage of abuse that Levi often suffered while trying to get time with his son. (Contrary to what you might have read in the tabloids, Levi NEVER stopped trying to spend time with his son.)

As you can imagine it irritated me and I offered to help multiple times.

At first Levi simply could not bring himself to accept help. (We Alaska men are known for our stoicism. Though typically Alaskan women refer to that as stubbornness.)

Late in 2013 things came to a head, and Levi wanted to take Bristol back to court and fight for a real custody deal. (Up to this point they really did not have one, and she used access to his son to manipulate Levi and keep him in line.)

However they no longer had an attorney, and nowhere near enough money to go up against the Palins in court.

But I did.

So after two and a half years there is something I need to finally share with all of you.

Meet my friends Levi and Sunny Johnston.

About two and a half years ago they came to my house looking for a little help, and what happened next I will be sharing with you over the next several days, weeks, and possibly months.

You may think you know them, and you may think you know what they have been through, but trust me when I say you do not even know the half of it.

The saga of Bristol Palin and her baby daddies.

I think we can stop beating around the bush and just say that Bristol has either already lured Dakota back into her bed again, or she is still in the process of reeling him in.

That boy is dumber than a box of rocks.

But he should be paying very close attention to how she treats her other baby daddy.

Looks like a win for Bristol Palin. 

Her former fiancé Levi Johnston has reportedly been ordered by a judge to pay the mother of two $61,915.20 in back child support for their 7-year-old son, Tripp, according to TMZ. 

Palin's apparent child support victory is the latest development in a years-long and sometimes bitter custody battle between the ex-couple, who in February were finally awarded joint custody of their son. 

Now on the one hand this is exactly what Levi fought for in court, joint custody of his son. (Well almost joint custody.)

However I am told that he did not expect the support to be so high.

And what is even worse is that both parties signed a confidentiality agreement so that the details of the case would not end up in the gossip rags.

The Johnstons kept their part of the deal (Trust me.) but clearly Bristol did not.

And it is this kind of nasty back stabbing that Dakota Meyer can look forward to as well.

If he think that there is a happily ever after in his future he needs to wake up and smell the arsenic, because everything about these people is poisonous.

Well it appears that Bristol Palin gave in to all of Dakota Meyer's demands and they have finally reached a child custody agreement.

Courtesy of Radar Online: 

It’s over! Bristol Palin has ended her messy custody battle with Dakota Meyer, RadarOnline.com has learned — at least, for now. 

The duo filed court documents in Alaska on April 20, alerting the judge that they had “reached a custody and parenting agreement in mediation” regarding daughter Sailor, born in December 2015.

Details of the agreement were not made public, as they agreed “not to disclose those terms publicly” and to file them as “confidential documents.” 

“The parties agree that it is not in the best interests of their daughter for the terms of their agreement to be publicly disclosed,” the documents state.

Ah yes the confidentiality agreement. That is how the Palins continue to control the narrative.

Sarah Palin and her family have made co-authors, co-stars, co-workers, and now even co-parents sign them ever since Sarah Palin left the governorship.

After all truth is essentially Palin Kryptonite.

However I know that Dakota used the threat of publicity as a tool to force Bristol to sign a child custody agreement to his liking. I assume that agreeing to the December birthday was simply his olive branch to her.

Of course now that he has signed on the dotted line I imagine that we will not be hearing much from Dakota, but if this poor son-of-a-bitch thinks this is over, then he is in for a VERY unpleasant surprise.

So that is two child custody agreements, and two confidentiality agreements, with two baby daddies this year.

Quite a year wouldn't you say?

And look it's not even over yet.

Just like her mother Bristol Palin uses children to manipulate and control others, and shield herself from criticism.

Most people know I’m Pro Life. If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t have gone through the pregnancy I faced when I was 17. The issue is clearly near my heart. 

When I went in for my first appointment and heard my son’s heartbeat, it changed my world forever! And I had a harsh dose of reality when the doctor turned off the ultrasound machine and asked me a question. He asked what I wanted to do about the “situation,” insinuating abortion. It makes me sick thinking about it, to tell you the truth. 

I had just heard my baby’s heartbeat for the first time. 

How is that not life? 

God knew exactly what he was doing when I got pregnant with Tripp, and I’d go through my toughest days a million times over to end up where we are now. My kids are my world and I never questioned that their life had, and HAS, so much purpose. 

Abortion may seem like such an easy option – today’s society makes it sound so great – so easy – so nonchalant. They make it seem like there will be no consequences. I promise you, there are. 

Have you ever heard anyone say “I regret having this baby??” I haven’t. Every child deserves life.

The post goes on to pimp some ridiculous "pro-life" campaign, but who really cares about that?

The real story here is that Bristol/Nancy French is using Tripp to shill for some organization from whom, much like that diet drink company, I am sure she is receiving some type of compensation for supporting.

The fact of the matter is that God did not get Bristol Palin pregnant with her son Tripp. Bristol Palin did.

In fact she did so, as outlined in Levi Johnston's book, by going off of her birth control and lying to him about it.

Later of course in order to shill for an abstinence program Bristol lied again, and claimed it was all an accident. But it wasn't.

And according to her Sailor Grace was planned as well.

It certainly does not seem from what we have heard that Dakota Meyer was in on the plan, but Bristol claims there was indeed a plan.

Not God's plan. Bristol Palin's plan.

Now Bristol would have you believe that these children are both gifts and challenges divinely imposed upon her by God, but in fact these are gifts and sources of income that she created with a lack of morals and the help of unwitting sperm donors who will now pay for their carelessness for a minimum of eighteen years.

And let's face it they are not only good bait for that sweet child support money, they are also a lucrative source of income for tabloid money, reality show money, and I am sure at some point, delicious endorsement dollars.

Bristol Palin does not give birth to little human beings, she gives birth to adorable little flesh covered ATM machines.

And there is nothing holy about that.

It looks like Levi and Sunny Johnston have found a cause worth supporting.

Sunny Johnston 

Thank you for the T-shirts! 

Levi and I support The Fathers Rights Movement 110%

Neither Sunny nor Levi are particularity political people, but clearly this is a cause that they feel strongly about.

And considering how long and hard Levi fought to get joint custody of his son that is not hard to understand.

So it appears that Bristol Palin is using her recent Instagram photo of Dakota Meyer with her baby to give the impression that the drama is over. Wanna bet?

too cute not to share

Bristol Palin has photographic proof that she’s amicably co-parenting with her ex-fiancé Dakota Meyer. 

The oldest daughter of Sarah Palin posted an Instagram pic of her ex holding their daughter, Sailor Grace. Bristol even captioned the pic, “Too cute not to share.” The new photo shows that things have calmed down between the once bitter exes. 

That same reconciliation theme shows up over at ET Online, People magazine, and US Weekly to name but a few.

Of course this fits a well known pattern with the Palin family.

Make nice in public, and plunge the knife even deeper under the cover of darkness.

I have been watching this play out for years with Levi and his family, as well as other former friends and acquaintances up here in Alaska.

And according to Radar Online that is exactly what's been happening:  

Palin had previously asked a judge to edit her visitation schedule with Meyer so she could spend her first Mother’s Day with her daughter, born in December 2015. But in court documents filed on March 14, Meyer hit back and said he wasn’t backing down.

Meyer’s attorneys asked the judge to set visitation for Mother’s day from 9 a.m. To 6 p.m., noting that “Ms. Palin originally had proposed visitation on that day … and that proposal was relied upon by Mr. Meyer in making his travel plans” from Kentucky to Alaska.

“That will still provide Ms. Palin time with Sailor on Mother’s Day, but will also allow Mr. Meyer, who is traveling across the country to see his daughter, to spend time with her that day as well,” they claim. 

“There is no valid reason to deprive Mr. Meyer of visitation with Sailor that day simply because it states on the calendar that it is Mother’s Day,” the documents continue. “Mr. Meyer cannot change his work and travel plans, which have already been made to move the visitation that was planned and ordered for that day … and it would be unreasonable at this juncture to expect him to do so.

Oh yeah, everything is all peachy keen alright. 

You know if Dakota and his representatives have any doubts about how this will play out going forward I encourage them to reach out to Levi and Sunny Johnston.

I am sure they have plenty they would like to share.
