Track Palin's trial has been pushed to March 27th.

Courtesy of KTVA: 

Sarah Palin's oldest son is scheduled for trial in a case accusing him of assaulting his father at the family's Alaska home. 

A judge Friday set trial for the week of March 27 for Track Palin after his lawyer said the case would not be ready for a late-February trial as initially set. Palin participated in the proceeding by phone from an undisclosed treatment location. Afterward, the lawyer declined to say what kind of treatment. 

The 28-year-old Palin pleaded not guilty last month to a felony burglary charge in the December incident. He also faces misdemeanor charges of assault and criminal mischief.

I am a few days late in reporting this, mostly because I predicted the trial would be postponed repeatedly and figured all of you did as well. 

In other words this might not be the last postponement we see in this case.

When the trial does take place it is going to be covered by a number of national news outlets so we will be kept well informed as it unfolds.

I would also like to take a moment to address the growing gossip about Bristol's marriage.

Currently there is no definitive evidence that the marriage is over, despite numerous comments declaring it to be so.

Yes it does not appear that Dakota and Bristol are spending much time together, and in fact Dakota has not appeared in any of Bristol's Instagram photos since December.

But that does not constitute proof.

I think we can all predict, based on Bristol's past, that this relationship will not stand the test of time.

But as of now we do not know that it has definitively hit the skids.

Once we have evidence to prove that, trust me I will gladly report that here.

Jordan Loewe tells the Daily Mail that Sarah pressured her to stay mum about Track's abuse.

I was not going to post about this story twice on the same day, but this needs to be shared.

Courtesy of the Daily Mail:  

The college graduate said the Palins were upset with her for involving law enforcement.'I got the cold shoulder for calling the police and tarnishing their name,' Jordan said. 

'I was very particular about when I called the police and I didn't call them often. If I had called the police every time he pulled out a gun, then he would be in jail. 

'To his family, I was still kind of the bad guy for calling the police and blowing this up. The answer to them is, "we don't call the police because that's our reputation". 

'I don't really know what they believe but I definitely got some rude text messages, to say the least, about calling the police.' 

After that famous incident where Track kicked her and threatened to shoot himself, the Palins had this response about her calling the police:  

'I got a text to say I was disrespectful and not respecting their privacy; that I shouldn't have been drinking and I was blamed for that. 

'There was never any responsibility put on Track or what he did or what happened. 

'I think safety over reputation or a last name, that's pretty important. I still can't believe that they took priority over my life and Charlie's life. 

'I disappointed them by calling the police and asking for help because I thought I was going to die.' 

So to the Palins this young woman being murdered, or their son committing suicide, was preferable to bad publicity.

That is some seriously fucked up thinking right there.

Here was the bizarre rationalization that Sarah offered Jordan about Track's violent behavior:

Jordan said that she sat down for a heart-to-heart with the Palins a few weeks after Track attacked her. 

'Sarah said to me: "Track has always had an outlet for his violence. He's played hockey his whole life and it's applauded when you get in fights with people and that's how he can take it out. 

'"He would be on the ice and be aggressive and violent. People cheered him on for that. 

'"When he was an adult and stopping playing hockey, he immediately joined the military and that was his outlet for violence. They were proud of him for that just like they were in hockey. 

'"Since he's out of the military, he doesn't have that outlet anymore. So it's hard for him."' 

Jordan added: 'I was hoping she had an idea for somewhere to take his violence but clearly it was just having him take it out on those around him. 

'I remember her telling me, as if, 'This is the reason why you got hit but that's all I have for you.'' 

There is so much wrong there that I almost don't know where to start.

Look I was a very aggressive, and yes sometimes violent, teenager myself.

But my aggression was never directed at women, or those who were weaker than me.

My aggression diminished over time, and even more rapidly when I became a father. When I became a dad that just mellowed me right out.

There is NO excuse for Track at 28 years old to have remained so completely out of control.

And Jordan does not buy that PTSD excuse either:

Jordan said that he never completed the PTSD program and questioned whether Track's problems stemmed solely from the disorder. 

'Track told me he was clinically diagnosed before leaving Iraq with PTSD and that is a serious issue,' she said. 

'But there are other problems there. From what he has told me and what his family and friends have told me, this didn't come from the military. '

Track has had a history of violence from a young age. He got suspended for fighting in high school. This came from just deep-rooted mental health issues from childhood or adolescence that were never addressed or taken care of. 

'His mom likes to say "PTSD, he came back different". He did - he came back a lot worse. But it exacerbates the problem, like alcohol does. 

'I think part of the problem is that Track has never gotten in trouble for anything that he has done. He's attacked multiple people, he's pulled guns on multiple people and has never really gotten in trouble. I wasn't the first and I won't be the last. 

'If he's gotten away with this much so far – what could happen to him? Not only that, if he goes to jail, his family is going to pay for a lawyer, bail him out and there's never really been consequences. 

'All these people being quiet and trying to sweep this under the rug, whether it's his family or friends, that's the problem.' 

Bingo!

And haven't WE been saying that exact thing for years now? 

Track may have some rage issues that are part of his psychological make up, but those can be addressed and controlled through therapeutic interventions and medications.

I work with this population, I know.

But rather than get him the help he has needed since adolescence his parents simply swept the problems under the rug, and then used their money and influence to cover for him.

That tactic has helped to destroy Track's relationships, led to the abuse of family members, and almost got both Jordan and Todd killed.

Awesome job there Sarah.

If only you had listened to the IM community all of this could have been avoided.

Apparently her engagement did not prove a big enough of a distraction so Willow Palin takes to social media to defend her out of control brother.

Courtesy of the Daily Mail: 

The 23-year-old hairdresser took to social media and blasted her brother's critics on Friday, saying: ' I swear the second people decide to post a rude comment about someone else's family ... all of the sudden they come from a family full of frickin saints who have done no wrong.' 

She also took aim at one woman in particular who wrote: 'Well at least her brother didn't kick the s*** out of the fiance. By the way is Willow knocked up yet? You know, like following in her sister's footsteps.' 

Willow responded by mocking the woman,saying: 'Still wanting to be young and hip trying to keep up with her daughter. Twice divorced. Spends majority of her time trolling Instagram. Takes enjoyment out of her sad life to make unnecessary comments that doesn't get her anywhere.' 

She also commented: 'Bout to lose my shiete and call all these cowards out.' 

It appears that Willow is having some trouble spelling "shit."

Here let me help.

It's P-A-L-I-N.

Well, at least that's how Alaskans spell it now. 

First let me just say that I was perfectly willing to leave Willow out of all of this.

As I have said a number of times in the past, she is my favorite Palin.

However.....I guess she wants to be involved, so now she is involved.

For one thing the idea that she is calling somebody else out for trying to be young and hip, when her mother dresses like this...

...is laugh out loud funny.

Secondly Willow needs to remember that the only reason that anybody gives two shits about any of this is because he mother trotted the whole family out on that 2008 RNC stage and tried to pass them off as the All American, Norman Rockwell, Frontier Family.

If she had not attempted to thrust her dysfunctional, inbred family onto the American people like that then all of this would only concern the immediate family, and the people of Wasilla standing behind their doors with the rifle barrels placed against the peephole waiting for Track Palin to come for one of them.

Thirdly I understand that Willow might be a little upset that she was forced to prematurely announce her engagement to Jethro Bodine's dumber cousin, but she should not take it out on the folks making comments on social media.

She should take it out on her parents.

After all, aren't they really the source for all of these problems?

Track Palin's bail paid by friend, so he can return to his now gun free house while wearing an ankle monitor. Update!

Courtesy of ADN:  

Palin, 28 and the oldest son of the former Alaska governor, was approved for house arrest with an electronic ankle monitor by a Palmer judge on Wednesday afternoon. 

He had been jailed on $5,000 bail and release to a third-party until then. Magistrate Judge Tara Logsdon signed off on the change. 

Big Lake resident Kaleb Westfall posted Palin's bail Thursday with $5,000 cash, according to a receipt in the court file with Palin's charges. 

If Palin doesn't comply with his conditions, the state gets the money. 

Under Logsdon's order, Palin can live alone at his Wasilla home. But he is under 24-hour supervision by Alaska Pretrial Services with an ankle monitor and a facial recognition device that tests for alcohol. 

The private company is also charged with clearing Palin's home of weapons and pills. 

Company owner Dennis Johnson said late Wednesday morning "that's being conducted as we're speaking." 

Palin can leave the house only for specific reasons: work at a Palmer drilling company; medical visits; and legal or court visits. He can drive himself.

So that is proof that Track's family would have left him to rot in jail rather than pay for his bail themselves.

According to Radar Online Palin taped Track's attack on Todd:

Multiple sources told Radar that the former vice presidential candidate recorded the terrifying incident because she “wanted to be prepared” for any potential legal action.

“They knew he was coming, and were ready,” a family insider told Radar. “They wanted to be prepared for anything.” 

Local police refused to comment on the existence of a video recording of the incident, but a source told Radar that if cops do have the tape, they cannot release it to the public for months. 

They knew he was coming and yet they did not call the cops until he already started beating on Todd?

Good planning.

And yer even with all of this going on apparently Sarah still wants to visit Track and bring both Piper and little Trig to see him as well.

I am not sure that is a wise idea at this point, especially as he starts going through withdrawals due to no access to alcohol or drugs.

That could be quite terrifying for both Trig and Piper.

I also hope that somebody is on suicide watch right now.

Track just lost everything, and the drugs he takes to cope with his demons, that leaves him especially vulnerable to truly bad decisions, and the idea of taking his own life to punish his family is sure to be one of them.

Update: Jordan Loewe gives interview to the Daily Mail:

Loewe, however, told DailyMailTV that Track's parents had not always been in favor of involving authorities. 

'He's told me he was going to kill me and his parents knew that,' she said. 

'They didn't want me to call the police. They know, there's no doubt about it. I think they wish they didn't know but they know. 

'I did stay quiet each time, I never spoke about anything before this. I wanted to respect their privacy and mine and I just didn't think the world needed to know. 

'But I'm at the point that keeping quiet didn't do anything and he's hurt more people, so it's time to speak up.' 

Loewe said that she was angered by the court's decision to allow him to be released on a low bail. 

She said: 'I think he has a lot of issues – not just instability but a lot of mental health issues that have never been addressed. I think there's a bit of PTSD there but that's not the main problem. There's a lot of problems and that maybe just adds to it. It's the same with alcohol, it exacerbates it.' 

Jordan said she was unaware if Track, a veteran who served in the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, in Iraq, was using drugs. 

'When I was with him, he was sober for year at that time and there was still a lot of violence problems,' she said. The issues are there, with or without substance abuse. He doesn't think have a problem so much as anyone wants to help him – you can't help yourself.' 

So Jordan was getting constant death threats from Track and his parents dissuaded her from calling the police? Apparently they were willing to risk her life, rather than force their son to get help.

Yeah, a little counseling is NOT going to turn any of this around.

Track either accepts being in therapy for the long hall, or he is going to kill somebody. 

Period.

Update: Track Palin now has a lawyer.

I'm keeping my eye on this case for any further developments, and as of yesterday Track finally has a lawyer assigned to his case.

The lawyer is one Patrick Bergt, and he does not appear to be any of the numerous lawyers that the Palins have used in the past.

Which more or less reinforces by contention that Track is not getting any help from his family at this time.

In fact it's quite possible that Bergt was assigned to the case as a public defender, though it does not specify that in the Court View documents.

Whatever the case I do not think that Track has a steady source of income, so if I were this Bergt character I would make sure to collect my fee up front.

There is a bail hearing at 1:00 today so Track may soon be out and ready to go finish Todd off by 2:00 PM.

Update: Courtesy of the Daily Mail:  

Things are quickly spiraling out of control for Track Palin following his arrest on Saturday at his parent's home in Alaska. 

Court records show that on Monday his ex-wife Britta Hanson filed a petition for a protective order against Track. 

Britta, who is the mother of Track's 6-year-old daughter Kayla, was granted a short-term order by the judge and will be back in court early next month to try and get a long-term order keeping her ex away from her and possibly their daughter. 

At the same time, Track's ex Jordan Loewe also filed an emergency motion to change the child custody agreement that is in place between the couple. 

Track and Jordan are the parents of a son Charlie, who is almost two. 

The part about Britta we report the other day, but that Jordan Loewe part I did not see at Court View.

Well even if Track manages to get out of jail today, it appears unlikely that he will spend his Christmas with any of his kids, or probably even with any of his family.

Update 2: Just as we suspected Track never finished his court ordered rehab from the 2016 incident.

Courtesy of ADN: 

Track Palin, the son of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, opted not to finish a therapeutic court program for military veterans to address a 2016 domestic-violence arrest. 

Police arrested him last year for punching a woman in the head and threatening to fire a rifle. He was charged with fourth-degree assault, interfering with the report of a domestic-violence crime and possessing a weapon while intoxicated. 

But rather than pursuing a traditional path through the court system, Palin chose an alternative sentencing agreement through Anchorage Veterans Court, according to his attorney and the Anchorage district attorney. 

Veterans Court offers eligible service members reduced or dismissed charges in exchange for going to weekly hearings and undergoing treatment — counseling, substance abuse programs — available through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. 

"We don't force anybody. You have an option," said Rick Allen, who coordinates the program through his position as Anchorage district attorney. "It's a major time commitment. You're going to have to do lots of rehab stuff, you're going to have to do constant (urine tests). It's a major ordeal." 

Apparently Track's excuse is that he had work commitments at some oil company. 

I seriously doubt this employment thing, but even if real since when do job responsibilities take precedent over completing a treatment program to avoid jail time?

A little follow up on the whole Track Palin beat Todd's ass debacle.

So since yesterday's post we have learned a few more details.

First off is that we now have an actual copy of the official complaint.

When you read it, especially Track's testimony, it appears that Todd and Sarah had ample time to notify the police BEFORE Track arrived to kick Todd's ass, but failed to do so until things got really out of hand.

There were no children in the home so everybody can stop worrying about them.

However after the badly beaten Todd was able to get away from Track he apparently abandoned his wife and jumped in his car.

She was also able to get out on her own it seems and was in a second vehicle exiting the compound when the police arrived.

Track was still inside screaming at nobody and high as a freaking kite.

The complaint also says that after pointing his gun at Track that Todd "decided" that he was not going to shoot his son as he broke in through the window.

Personally I doubt that Todd ever intended to actually use the gun, but he did indeed point it at Track and threaten him with it.

That is some good parenting right there.

According to Court View Britta Hanson, his first baby mama, also petitioned for a protective order, which she quickly received.

Now I assumed that this was a preemptive move on her part, after hearing about this incident at the compund, but Zaki told me that he believes she could not have received one of these unless there was an actual physical threat made against her, which indicates that more may have happened that night than we know right now.

All in all it is beyond obvious that Track's addictions continue to control his life.

According to various sources I have talked to in the past Track has been abusing and selling drugs for more than a decade now, and in fact that may be how he is currently paying his bills.

Sarah had a real opportunity to help this young man, and instead she attempted to "save" him from himself and now this is the result.

It appears that Track remains in custody, and is still not represented by counsel which I think indicates that Ma and Pa Palin are finished covering for his loser ass and that he is now truly on his own.

Track Palin was arrested for beating his father, Todd Palin! Update!

Track, the beater, is on the far right, and Todd, the beatee is 4th from the right. One person separated from Track's last victim.

Courtesy of ADN: 

Wasilla police came to the Palin home after Sarah Palin called them just after 8:30 p.m. to say her son was "freaking out and was on some type of medication," according to a sworn affidavit filed in court by Wasilla officer Adam LaPointe. 

Track Palin came to the house to confront his father over a truck he wanted to pick up, according to the affidavit. Todd Palin told his son not to come because he'd been drinking and taking pain medication. 

"Track told him he was (going to) come anyway to beat his ass," LaPointe wrote. 

Todd Palin told the officer he got his pistol to "protect his family" and met his son with the gun when he came to the door, according to the affidavit. 

Track Palin broke a window and came through it, and put his father on the ground, the report states. He began hitting him on the head. 

Todd Palin escaped and left the house. He suffered injuries to his face and head, the officer wrote. He was bleeding from several cuts on his head and had liquid coming from his ear. 

Track Palin was arrested on charges of felony first-degree burglary and misdemeanor criminal mischief and fourth-degree assault.

Well I guess we now know what really happened during Todd's supposed "snowmachine accident" last year.

Did you see the part where Todd went to get a gun?

He was literally so afraid of his son that he was preparing to shoot him dead.

THAT is fucked up, even for the Palin family.

By the way leaking liquid from your ear is a pretty good sign of a ruptured eardrum or possible damage to Todd's brain.

I wonder how Sarah feels today about helping her boy avoid jail time, or any real counseling, after he attacked and beat his pregnant fiancee?

How did that work out for you Sarah?

Update: According to Court View the charge for destruction of property, which we now know to mean the Palin family window, has been dismissed.

The bail is set at $5,000.00 but it does not appear that anybody has paid it yet.

And the date for his preliminary hearing is December 27th, at 1:00 PM.

Gee I wonder if a bandaged up Todd will show up as the star witness?

Update 2: Here's more from ADN:

As police arrived, they saw two vehicles leaving the home: Todd Palin was in the first, and officers could see blood running down his face, LaPointe wrote. 

Sarah Palin, in the second, was "visibly upset," he wrote. Officers learned Track Palin was alone in the house, and they could hear yelling coming from inside. 

Police called to Track Palin to come out, and he came out the partly open front door, according to the affidavit. 

"Track stood on the porch," LaPointe wrote. "Communication was attempted which failed due to Track yelling and calling myself and other officers peasants and telling us to lay our guns on the ground before approaching the residence." 

Palin walked back in and the officers saw him moving around, the affidavit states. Then he came out an upstairs window onto the garage roof. 

"He moved around in a strange manner and assumed a prone position just behind the roof line in what appeared to be an attempt to locate officers on the property," LaPointe wrote. 

He went back inside, the officer wrote, but communication was re-established after 10 or 15 minutes of silence and Palin came back outside to talk. 

Police put him handcuffs without incident and read him his Miranda rights in the back of a patrol car, according to LaPoint.

He told the police to lay their guns down?

What kind of entitled POS thinks he can tell the cops, who arrived to place HIM under arrest, what to do?

Well, a Palin POS of course. 

It's Thanksgiving so you know what that means.

I used to think that someday this would get old, but so far...nope still works for me.

Happy Thanksgiving IMers!

Happy ninth birthday Trig Palin!

HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY TO MY TRIG PAXSON VAN PALIN!!! I wish I could put into words the joy that this boy brings into our lives! #helovesmydog #theluckyfew #mybrotherhasmorechromosomesthanyou

A post shared by Bristol Meyer (@bsmp2) on Apr 18, 2017 at 11:25am PDT

Well it looks like Trig is back in Wasilla.

He seems relatively happy and well adjusted, which is really saying something considering his environment.

Here was Palin's Facebook post on Trig today.

 This what she wrote:

Happy Birthday Best Boy in the World! (Usually. Sometimes.) 
Love, 
Your Family

Gee, how supportive.

Can you guys even believe that we have been reporting on this little guy and his family for over nine years now? (Well, at least I have.)

P.S. By the way try to resist the urge to say anything nasty about Trig alright? After all what his family does, and how he was used, is certainly no fault of his. 

Amid accusations of violence toward the mother of his second child Track Palin files motion to modify child support payments to the mother of his first child.

So yes according to Court View Track reopened his first child custody case and filed a motion to modify his child support.

Since it would be the rarest of rarities for a father to reopen a case to increase his child support, and this IS a Palin we are talking about, I think it is safe to assume that Track is reducing his support payments.

So is this a coincidence that the case reopened on the day that Radar Online reported that Track's parents have washed their hands of him, or is losing THAT support in fact the reason that Track can no longer meet his financial responsibilities?

Remember this comes on the heels of Britta Hanson modifying that custody agreement back in March of last year when she heard that he kicked the shit out of Jordan Loewe, his newest baby mama, in a drunken rage.

At that time Track lost overnight visits with Kyla Grace as well as a significant amount of his time during the day with her, and he has never been granted that time back.

Now I know that the Palin troll will be here spinning her bullshit about how the Palins are good parents, and that Track is some kind of special case.

However if you are even a casual Palin watcher you know that is definitely not true.

And one needs to remember that Track could have received help for his substance abuse and out of control behaviors several times along the way, but at every opportunity to get that help his mother interfered and kept him from facing the consequences for his actions.

Seriously the best thing for Track Palin right now is that he get arrested for some crime that hopefully does not leave anybody dead, and that he finally receive the counseling and substance abuse therapy that he has clearly needed since he was a teenager.

Currently this young man is a danger to himself, and to all of those around him until that happens.

Sarah Palin uses outdated stalker story to fail miserably to make a religious point.

Once again from the Church of Palinology:

…the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth. Psalm 34:16 

Last fall on a peaceful Sunday afternoon, Bristol was returning home with Tripp when she sensed something was wrong. Someone was waiting for her on her front steps. 

The stranger said he’d been waiting; he told Bristol he wanted her time. 

She knew immediately this was a stalker who’d sent thousands of bizarre, threatening messages to her through Facebook and other means. Even after she’d blocked him, he’d assume different identities, delusionally insisting he worked for me and had a relationship with Willow, and he ramped up his dangerous harassment of Bristol. When she realized this guy had come all the way from Florida to Alaska for some kind of encounter, she grabbed Tripp and ran for help. We’d been through this before. This particular stalker ended up in jail, and there are others in or out of jail today who’ve stalked our family. They’re messed up men used by the enemy to commit acts of evil. 

One may nonchalantly take the above Scripture figuratively until something bad happens. Then you understand how God preserves your life. We’ve had many disturbing, even dangerous moments since my family was thrust into the spotlight in 2008. This past year was particularly trying. For us it’s been imperative that we remember God is greater than the enemy of our soul. He’s more powerful, and His omnipotence holds our destinies. I cannot fathom how it would be not to have this promise to cling to. I pray for everyone reading this devotional that whatever threats they might face, their faith will pull them through.

Starting a little further back at Psalm 34:11. King James version of course, this reads:

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

Essentially this is a psalm bragging on God's power to destroy evil, and to remind the faithful not to stray.

I am especially taken with this section:
  
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

Both Sarah and Bristol have written books attacking those they disagree with, in fact Palin made a whole career out of it for years.

I should also mention that this story that Palin says happened "last fall" actually happened almost three years ago.

So right there she is lying.

It should also be pointed out that God did NOT "blot out" this stalker's "name from the earth."

Instead Bristol took the secular path of relying on the local police for protection, and the courts to keep her that way.

So one has to wonder if Bristol somehow failed to demonstrate the adequate amount of religious devotion in order to earn God's protection, and rather than "blot out" this man's name he instead allowed him to make it all the way to Alaska where he terrified Bristol and forced her to rely on more modern methods to keep her safe?

In other words Palin's story essentially illustrates exactly why one should not place all of their faith in God, and should instead take responsibility for their own welfare and the welfare of their loved ones.

Sarah Palin makes a truly pathetic online preacher.

Yet another failure to add to her ever growing list of failures.

Pastor Palin preaches forgiveness while also smearing the name of the now deceased Joe McGinniss.

I forgive nothing!

Courtesy of the Church of Palinology: 

There was a season in the Palin world when a strange author moved in right next door. He was a pretty famous guy in the book world, so people paid attention when he announced he’d moved all the way form (sic) New York to write a book about us. This wasn’t a shining season. Todd had to build a huge fence to separate the guy from practically being able to touch the kids when they played in the yard. (Once again Palin is insinuating that Joe was a pedophile. He was not, and her constant attempts to label him as such even after his death are indefensible.) It worked. Todd’s fence was more effective than our country’s nonexistent one along the border. But then the new neighbor resorted to standing high on his porch with binoculars to see what he could see.

(Also false, he was looking the other direction at the birds on the lake. Palin's house is behind him in this picture. Which THEY took of him by the way.) Thank God it only lasted a year and a half; then I could finally open my west-facing curtains again. His mission to “keep an eye on us” was complete for his hit-job book. (For the record I spent quite some time at Joe's house in Wasilla and the rules were that we could not look out his window and ogle the Palin property, invade their privacy in any way, or take any pictures.)

He was out for himself. (Actually he was out to tell the truth. Which he did.)

Everyone seems basically out for themselves. In my line of work I see it every day. If you don’t agree with someone’s view, they often pull out all the stops to condemn you. (Eek! Hypocrisy overload!) It’s brutal! I know it’s hard to understand the concept of forgiving someone who doesn’t want it, because they’d just as soon double up their efforts to insult. 

I admit it: sometimes, my first reaction is retaliation. (Gee, really?) But we’re told to forgive. Even further, the Bible says to help our enemies! God tells us that vengeance is His, not ours. We need to lave (sic) that to God, because He is the true and final judge.

So to sum up we should all be more forgiving of everybody unless it's an author who wrote a book about us. Then we can just lie about this and continue to assassinate heir character. Is that right?

Personally I think Joe McGinniss did this country a great service by exposing this lunatic, and for that I count him as an American hero.

Bristol Palin's ghostwritten blog tells a story about her sister being targeted by a liberal teacher. Moose poop doesn't really smell, but this does.

The first part of the poorly written post deals with an incident in New York, and then extrapolates to include, as always, a member of the Palin family.

In this case poor put upon little Piper Palin: 

Recently, my 10th grade sister actually just had something awkward happen to her at school. A liberal teacher, someone who has always hated my mom, went on a rant about President Donald Trump. This alone should be disturbing, but you can see it happens all over the nation to unsuspecting kids all the time. Of course, this teacher’s political rant turned into and (sic) anti-Sarah Palin rant. (Because why wouldn’t it?) 

Then, the teacher told the kids in his class that they should tell Piper what he said and how they feel about my mom’s politics! 

I couldn’t believe it. 

A few days later, after the teacher was sent to the principal’s office – literally – and interviewed by the principal, the teacher apologized to my dad. 

But what about the damage done to the kids in that class? What about the fact that teachers across America feel perfectly fine teaching kids THEIR version of American politics… what happens when people are spewing their political beliefs and the politician’s kid ISN’T in the class? 

I hope teachers start suffering some consequences (Yeah. I'll bet you do.)– but you know that probably won’t happen!

Okay first off we should remember that before Donald Trump was busy lying everyday to the American people, Sarah Palin and her family were doing that already. 

Secondly this supposedly happened in a Wasilla school, in one of the reddest parts of the state.

Do we really believe that in that atmosphere a teacher would let their liberal flag fly?

The word you are looking for here is "unlikely."

My take is that, at Sarah's urging, Bristol's ghostwriter took a completely unrelated incident and worked to somehow make it about the poor downtrodden Palins being victimized once again by some heartless liberal. 

We have seen this play out time and time again. (Remember Joe McGinniss supposedly peeking through Piper's bedroom window?)

I will say this, comparing Bristol's ghostwritten blog to her mother's click bait saturated ghostwritten "website," certainly makes Bristol's look ten times better.

I mean at least there is sometimes actual content there, whereas Palin's is empty and devoid of any personality at all.

SarahPAC is no more! Update!

After almost eight years of existence the Palin family slush fund is no more.

Here is the termination report on which you can see that the PAC started with $99,052.01 and spent $100,775.65. Their ending balance is a big fat zero.

Well I promised we would hound Sarah Palin until the bitter end, and this feels pretty bitter end like.

The family actually made loads of money so you would expect that they would be fine for years to come, but knowing how they spend money hand over fist, I  seriously doubt they have that much left in the ole piggy bank.

So far they have sold that giant RV they used to travel across the country lying about possibly running for office, the house in Arizona, and Bristol's house. Which leaves the plane, the snow machines, various gas guzzling vehicles, the cabin, and the Fox News studio as possible assets to liquidate.

Todd and Dakota are signed up to run the Iron Dog together, so there must still be a sponsor or two lurking around, but I don't know if there are many other sources of revenue coming in with SarahPAC now shut down and Sarah's judge show idea getting the axe.

And with Track's legal bills, and Palin having to essentially support the entire family,  I don't think she can keep up the facade for much longer.

I guess that now explains this new crappy website of hers, and why her daughter is desperately hawking tea on Instagram.

This actually gives a little more credibility to that Blind Item post from yesterday, because it really does seem that Palin went all in for Trump, who she clearly thought would provide for her in return, and he essentially left her high and dry.

You know this is the kind of thing that might force certain family members to do something desperate.

You know, like get a job.

Update: The Washington Post has the story now too.

After pointing out that the PAC spent almost every penny that it received on the PAC or the Palin, they ended the article with this statement:   

Palin's inner circle — such as it ever existed — spent lots and lots of time in the 2009/2010 period insisting that she was focused like a laser on increasing the number of Republicans in Congress, governors' mansions and statehouses. But, following the money never bore that commitment out. Palin's outlay from her PAC was always heavily tilted toward, well, herself.

The shuttering of the PAC coupled with the clear signal its spending sends — this was always for and about Palin — should put to rest any talk to the contrary.

Exactly!

Which by the way has been what we have been saying since the PAC launched in 2009.

Radar Online has learned that Track Palin threatened to shoot his new baby mama in the head.

Track "I abuse women" Palin

Courtesy of Radar Online:  

As Radar reported, Track’s ex-girlfriend and baby mama Jordan Loewe filed for custody of the former couple’s newborn son, Charlie, earlier this month, claiming she was “concerned” about her “safety or the safety of her children.” 

But then, she filed for a restraining order against Track, unleashing a barrage of horrifyingly specific allegations: 

On December 3, she writes in court documents obtained by Radar, “I had brought my son over to visit Track and we started arguing and Track pushed me against the wall while I had our 3 month old son in my arms.” 

Just weeks later on December 22, “He put his hand on my head and squeezed as hard as he could while our son was in the room,” she claims. “He also hawked a giant ball of spit in my face.” 

On on January 8, she alleges, “Track had our son for a couple of hours, then asked me to come get him. When I was on my way he found out I was bringing a girlfriend of mine so there was a third party there – He got angry and told me he was going to ‘put a bullet through my head’ and put us both in the ground.” 

But wait, there's more.

“I had my son in my car driving off his property, and he threw rocks at my car, then got in his truck and followed me,” she writes. 

“He was driving recklessly trying to run me off the road – almost causing an accident multiple times.” In describing her injuries, Loewe says, “I had hand prints (and) red marks on my face (and) head.”

Loewe is asking that Track be kept from communicating with her or her son "in any way." And says she is not after money but only concerned with the her child's safety.

And seriously, who could blame her?

I have to point out that Radar Online could ONLY get this information if somebody leaked it to them .

Remember Track's attorney Kimberlee Colbo filed to keep all of these documents confidential.

I certainly cannot get my hands on them, so somebody clearly sent them to Radar.

Which is a VERY smart move for Loewe's team.

As I have said repeatedly, the Palins cannot stand having their personal shit exposed in the press and they will buckle like an under trained boxer in the first round if they keep trying this thing in the court of public opinion.

I should also point out that these stories completely fit in with the stories I have heard about Track over the years.

He is an angry, woman abusing bully, and he should NEVER be allowed to have a firearm in his possession.

Hey look! Track Palin is back in the news.

Courtesy of the Daily Mail:

Track Palin's ex-girlfriend has been granted a short-term order of protection that prohibits him from coming near her or their newborn. 

Jordan Loewe filed for the protection order from Sarah Palin's eldest son on January 12 in Alaska Court, listing the reason as domestic violence, according to The Dirty. 

It remains unclear what exactly Loewe is alleging against Track, but the protection comes just weeks after the mother asked for full custody of their newborn son. 

Loewe will have the chance to plead her case for a long-term protection order at a hearing that has been scheduled for later this month. 

Of course none of this is exactly news to all of you since we have been covering it every step of the way. 

However now that it has made news again, I think it behooves us to broadcast it far and wide just in case Sarah Palin thinks nobody is paying attention to her tribe up misfits anymore.

Besides we do have some new information to share, such as the fact that Dakota's old attorney Kathleen Colbo is now representing Track (Smart move as it might present a conflict of interest if she is already representing the Palin family once things go south between Dakota and Bristol.), and they have filed a motion to make the case records confidential. 

Yeah that is the typical Palin move.

This is how they protect themselves and control their legal adversaries.

However this only keeps folks in the media from directly accessing the records.

If Jordan has a brain in her head she will flatly refuse to sign any confidentiality agreement, and threaten to talk to the press if the Palins don't back the fuck off.

Because THAT is how you beat the Palins.

And trust me, I know.

Former fiancee petitions for restraining order against Track Palin.

So apparently Jordan Loewe requested a short term domestic violence protective order for her and little Charlie to protect them from mean old Track Palin.

There is also a petition for a long term protective order as well.

The short term petition was granted and then today there was a follow up petition filed to extend that order.

The court date for the long term protective order is scheduled for February 2nd.

Well I guess SOMEBODY did not respond well to Jordan filing for custody of their son.

As for THAT case Loewe has now filed papers requesting child support from Track so perhaps that played a part in this need for a restraining order as well. (After all we know that the Palins do not like to part with their own money.)

(Documents available at Court View.)

Gee isn't this always the way?

Sarah Palin gets ready to launch a new money making endeavor, get a job with the media, or receive a cabinet position and the next thing you know one of her kids gets arrested, caught up in a child custody situation, or gets themselves or somebody else pregnant.

Well I guess it's a good thing they are all such hard workers, who were raised with good Christian values, or there is no telling what kind of trouble these crazy Palin kids could get into.

Right?

Radar Online has more on the Track Palin/Jordan Loewe custody battle. Update!

Courtesy of Radar Online: 

Track Palin‘s baby mama says she is worried about her newborn’s safety, and RadarOnline.com has learned she wants to control when and where he can see his newborn child! 

As Radar reported, Track’s ex-girlfriend, Jordan Loewe, filed for custody of their newborn child, Charlie Mitchell Palin, last Wednesday. 

According to newly obtained court documents, she is demanding primary physical custody of the 3-month-old child because — she claims — she is “concerned” about her “safety or the safety of her children.” 

Loewe wrote in the paperwork she wanted Track’s visitation to be “COMPLETELY” at her discretion.

Well let's go out on a limb here and say that it appears that Track's rehabilitation did not take.

Instead of getting the kind of jail time and court ordered rehabilitation in a licensed facility that he deserved, the Grizzled Mama used her influence to get her woman beating POS son out of any serious consequences for his behaviors.

However it appears that Jordan is using that incident as leverage and is claiming that she was the victim of his drunken rampage and claims "the incident could influence the custody proceedings."

In other words if Track tries to fight this, she will air all of his dirty laundry in court for everybody to see.

Which is exactly the appropriate tactic when dealing with his dysfunctional group of drunken Wasillabillies.

Update: The Daily Mail has the story as well. 

Sarah Palin links to article claiming that the Wasilla church fire led to her resignation. Uh, nope.

In the article that Palin links to it says this:

Ever since she burst onto the national stage as Sen. John McCain’s running mate in the 2008 presidential election, Sarah Palin has been scrutinized and ridiculed by the “tolerant” left. 

Palin’s family has come under attack, as well. 

Over the past decade, the former governor of Alaska has handled things with a grace unseen from most politicians. 

Yesterday was the anniversary of Palin’s church being burned that led to her announcement to step down as governor.

Wait, what?

This article then links to another article which does not mention the church fire at all but gives Palin credit for Donald Trump's rise to power. (Right along with Vladimir Putin I would assume.)

The article also claims that Palin was under constant attack from the Left, (You're welcome.) and that those attacks are why we do not have Palin in office any longer. (Once again, you're welcome.)

Now look, at this point nobody knows for sure who started that church fire. The investigation kind of just petered out.

Those on the Right blame Palin critics, though that makes no real sense. (I mean if WE really wanted to hurt Palin we would have burned down the Mugshot Saloon.)

And those on the Left think that it was likely a supporter burning up records that she did not want revealed.

However what I do know for sure is that it in no way had any impact on Palin's decision to leave office.

Is it Thanksgiving already? Well you know what that means.

I decided to post the Countdown version this year, which featured David Shuster sitting in for Keith Olbermann.

Of course almost all of the versions of this are fairly entertaining, but something about the classics just keeps us coming back to them.

Hey folks remember when people actually thought this moron might run for president?

Ah, good times.
