Buzzfeed reveals how Breitbart not only panders to racists, but how they made them an integral part of the organization.

Courtesy of Buzzfeed: 

The Breitbart employee closest to the alt-right was Milo Yiannopoulos, the site’s former tech editor known best for his outrageous public provocations, such as last year’s Dangerous Faggot speaking tour and September’s canceled Free Speech Week in Berkeley. For more than a year, Yiannopoulos led the site in a coy dance around the movement’s nastier edges, writing stories that minimized the role of neo-Nazis and white nationalists while giving its politer voices “a fair hearing.” In March, Breitbart editor Alex Marlow insisted “we’re not a hate site.” Breitbart’s media relations staff repeatedly threatened to sue outlets that described Yiannopoulos as racist. And after the violent white supremacist protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August, Breitbart published an article explaining that when Bannon said the site welcomed the alt-right, he was merely referring to “computer gamers and blue-collar voters who hated the GOP brand.” 

These new emails and documents, however, clearly show that Breitbart does more than tolerate the most hate-filled, racist voices of the alt-right. It thrives on them, fueling and being fueled by some of the most toxic beliefs on the political spectrum — and clearing the way for them to enter the American mainstream. 

It’s a relationship illustrated most starkly by a previously unreleased April 2016 video in which Yiannopoulos sings “America the Beautiful” in a Dallas karaoke bar as admirers, including the white nationalist Richard Spencer, raise their arms in Nazi salutes. 

These documents chart the Breitbart alt-right universe. They reveal how the website — and, in particular, Yiannopoulos — links the Mercer family, the billionaires who fund Breitbart, to underpaid trolls who fill it with provocative content, and to extremists striving to create a white ethnostate. 

They capture what Bannon calls his “killing machine” in action, as it dredges up the resentments of people around the world, sifts through these grievances for ideas and content, and propels them from the unsavory parts of the internet up to TrumpWorld, collecting advertisers’ checks all along the way. 

And the cache of emails — some of the most newsworthy of which BuzzFeed News is now making public — expose the extent to which this machine depended on Yiannopoulos, who channeled voices both inside and outside the establishment into a clear narrative about the threat liberal discourse posed to America. The emails tell the story of Steve Bannon’s grand plan for Yiannopoulos, whom the Breitbart executive chairman transformed from a charismatic young editor into a conservative media star capable of magnetizing a new generation of reactionary anger. Often, the documents reveal, this anger came from a legion of secret sympathizers in Silicon Valley, Hollywood, academia, suburbia, and everywhere in between.

This is only a small portion of a much larger article, that is.....well repulsive actually.

The article also disproves Breitbart's contention that they are not truly an outlet for racism and a home to neo-Nazis.

They are.

And keep in mind the editor of this online dumpster fire was an adviser to the man sitting in the Oval Office, and in fact remains an adviser to this day.

Ousted White House adviser Stephen Bannon threatens war against moderate Republicans, but they dismiss him as "some guy with a website."

Courtesy of GQ: 

Bannon apparently has decided that his absence from the White House means that the White House is now, functionally, a Democratic one, and that he is duty-bound to either bring it to heel or, if it won't cooperate, grind it into a fine red-white-and-blue dust. It's not difficult to see why he thinks this, if you adopt the mindset of a paranoid lunatic who viewed the job he just lost as a suicide mission to see how deeply he could embed his Breitbartian worldview in this administration's DNA before being forcibly expelled by his marginally less delusional counterparts: Jared Kushner was a Democrat. Ivanka Trump was a Democrat. Gary Cohn was a Democrat. Hell, even Trump himself was a Democrat for a while, until he figured out that pandering to simmering racial resentment and unvarnished xenophobia was a more tenable political strategy than running for office on the merits of his policy positions, to the extent that any such positions exist.

Bannon is bloviating like he has the power to end careers and shape Washington politics, but that is certainly not how the rank and file Republicans view him.

Courtesy of Yahoo News: 

The ousted senior White House adviser may be back guiding Breitbart’s right-wing reactionary bomb-throwing, but he’s likely to find himself in the same position that left-wing sites like Daily Kos and Huffington Post occupied when Barack Obama became president in 2009, several Republicans told Yahoo News. 

“These kinds of oppositional websites are much more potent when the movement they represent is not in the White House,” said one Republican close to House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc. “Kos became irrelevant and HuffPo basically transformed itself into a mainstream news site. The reality was that Obama had a bigger megaphone than those sites. And Trump as president has a bigger megaphone and a more loyal following than Breitbart. 

“I haven’t heard any congressional Republican leaders express concern about Bannon going back to Breitbart. He’s a guy with a website. How much of a problem can a guy with a website actually be? He was much more of a problem when he had daily, hourly, access to the Oval Office,” the Ryan ally said.

Alex Conant, who worked for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s 2016 Republican presidential campaign, said that “Breitbart has targeted [Senate Majority Leader Mitch] McConnell and Ryan for years, with very limited impact. They’re both still their caucus leaders, and their support has never been stronger. 

“I don’t know what changes, except Bannon has less power today than he did a week ago,” said Conant.

Breitbart once referred to IM as a "defunct website."

That might actually soon hold true for them now as well.

Currently Breitbart is identified mainly as the home of the same kind of white supremacists that ran down a counter protester in Charlottesville, and they have now lost the thing that provided them with any real relevance, which was their editor-in-chief's White House gig.

Those are some serious currents through which to swim back to prominence and influence.

However it will be fun to watch Bannon rage against the machine, and turn on the man who brought him onto the national stage in the first place.

That second part has already started.  

The DOJ is trying to gain access to the personal information of the visitors to a website that organized anti-Trump protests. Uh oh.

Courtesy of DreamHost:  

For the past several months, DreamHost has been working with the Department of Justice to comply with legal process, including a Search Warrant seeking information about one of our customers’ websites. 

At the center of the requests is disruptj20.org, a website that organized participants of political protests against the current United States administration. While we have no insight into the affidavit for the search warrant (those records are sealed), the DOJ has recently asked DreamHost to provide all information available to us about this website, its owner, and, more importantly, its visitors.

DreamHost goes on to explain that, like many online service providers they receive requests from the government to help them identify criminals and other ne'er do wells quite regularly. (They also reject a number of them.)

However this is different.  

The request from the DOJ demands that DreamHost hand over 1.3 million visitor IP addresses — in addition to contact information, email content, and photos of thousands of people — in an effort to determine who simply visited the website. (Our customer has also been notified of the pending warrant on the account.) 

That information could be used to identify any individuals who used this site to exercise and express political speech protected under the Constitution’s First Amendment. That should be enough to set alarm bells off in anyone’s mind.

This is, in our opinion, a strong example of investigatory overreach and a clear abuse of government authority.

Is THIS what Jeff Sessions is dong to keep this country safe? 

Investigating people who simply visit a site that promotes peaceful protests?

How's that investigation into the White Supremacists who beat counter protesters and ran down a young woman going Mr. Attorney General?

 Or is all of your time being used up with pursuing your boss's adversaries?

Former FBI agent creates website that tracks Russian propaganda in real time.

Courtesy of the Business Insider:  

A website launched on Wednesday by a former FBI special agent-turned disinformation expert claims to track Russian propaganda in near-real time, as it spreads via Twitter accounts that have been linked to Russian influence operations. 

Clint Watts, who garnered national media attention after testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee about Russia's ongoing cyber and propaganda war against the West, spearheaded the project called Hamilton 68 — a hat tip to the founding father's Federalist Papers No. 68. 

"In the Federalist Papers No. 68, Alexander Hamilton wrote of protecting America’s electoral process from foreign meddling," the site reads, alluding to Russia's interference in the 2016 election. "Today, we face foreign interference of a type Hamilton could scarcely have imagined." 

Watts worked on Hamilton 68 with JM Berger, a fellow with the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism who studies extremism and propaganda on social media; Andrew Weisburd, a fellow at the Center for Cyber & Homeland Security; and Jonathon Morgan, the CEO of New Knowledge AI and head of Data for Democracy, a volunteer collective of data scientists and technologists.

You can visit the website here. I have to say that it's actually a little overwhelming to see so much data coming in from Russian trolls and bots. 

Interestingly enough some of their favorite websites include True Pundit, The Daily Caller, Zero Hedge, and of course Fox News.

I would also like to point out that if you don't want to visit the website you can also track Russian propaganda by visiting Donald Trump's Twitter account.

Sarah Palin gets called out again for using her website to post Right Wing articles as click-bait.

Courtesy of New York Magazine: 

A quick scroll through sarahpalin.com reveals that there are ads and there is a “U.S. Debt Clock” ($19 trillion and counting). At the bottom of every page, under the tab labeled “more,” there is an ad section labeled “you may also like.” It features all manner of shady clickbait: a guide to which celebrities “are jerks in real life,” photos of tacky jewelry, and a drawing of what appears to be diseased feet. You see this kind of thing in pop-up ads that look like fake websites, or at the bottom of real websites that are stuck in another era of the internet. There’s also an online store, where you can purchase Palin’s books and DVDs of Sarah Palin’s Alaska. And there is “Her Story,” a short biography complete with oddly stretched photos of the woman herself. 

Most prominent on the website, though, are short articles that are presented as news. 

Many of the posts are just bad aggregation, condensed and rewritten versions of reports from other publications — like the Daily Caller, Fox News, and Politico, as well as less well-known sites such as Weasel Zippers — that shape and distribute news so that it confirms a conservative worldview. You might call it fake news or propaganda, with headlines like, “YES! Trump Fulfills Campaign Promise to Help the Coal Industry” (approximately 70 jobs were created, by a private company, at a coal mine in Pennsylvania) or “EVIDENCE FOUND! Trump Was Right on Voter Fraud …” (12 people in Indiana were charged with submitting fraudulent voter-registration applications, while Trump claimed that “millions” of undocumented immigrants had voted illegally in the 2016 election). 

Others are just random write-ups of viral videos; one reads, “Two INCREDIBLE Performances Are Leaving Americans SPEECHLESS.” Once in a while, there will be a column or two.

The article goes on to list all of the ways that Palin desperately attempted to stay relevant, from her stint as Fox News contributor, her doomed reality shows, and her incredibly temporary foray into subscription based internet TV. (Interestingly they did not even bother to mention Palin's book writing endeavors. Probably snootily only want to give credit to book authors who actually write their books.)

The article goes on:

Palin doesn’t write much. Initially, she penned a few of the articles, with titles like “INSANE”; “Trig’s School of Life. We’re all learning!”; “Alpha Males … Hot Hot Hot”; and “You, Sir, Are Unfortunately Being Used by Democrats.” 

But now, her sole contribution is when, about once a day, she publishes something called “SWEET FREEDOM DAILY DEVOTIONAL.” Occasionally, perhaps owing to error, it’s referred to as “SWEET FREEDOM DAILY DEVOTION” or even just “DAILY DEVOTIONAL,” no “sweet freedom.” These begin with scripture and end with a word of advice. On Saturday, her instruction was, “Today, quit waiting until circumstances are just right before you praise the Lord. You already have so much to thank God for, so what are you waiting for?” The contact form for press inquiries on sarahpalin.com doesn’t work, and an interview request, forwarded to Palin through a friend and associate of hers, was not answered as of press time.

(I hate to break it to New York Magazine, but it is most likely that those contributions of Palin's were almost completely written, or rewritten, by others.)

New York Magazine also attempted to contact the people who actually produce the content for sarahpalin.com,  but none of them would consent to an interview, and the only response was from a woman who did not submit her work to the website, was not sure how it got there, and was never paid for her "contribution."

This is actually the third time that Palin has been called out for her shitposts and click bait heavy content.

The first was back on February 1st of this year, on The Daily Banter, and the second was only nine days later on the Huffington Post.

I think that the only reason more new outlets have not pointed out the obvious is because they have forgotten that Palin is still alive.

I used to look forward to the days when we could dance around the rotting corpse of Sarah Palin's career, but to be honest it is getting a little old.

Now I am looking forward to dancing around the rotting corpse of Donald Trump's career.

I wonder if THAT will ever get old?

Breitbart is losing advertisers at an accelerated rate. Gee, what a bummer.

Courtesy of Digiday: 

Six months ago, Breitbart was riding the wave of the election, plotting an international expansion to provide a platform to spread far-right, populist views in Europe. But today, Breitbart is facing traffic declines, advertiser blacklists, campaigns for marketers to steer clear and even a petition within Amazon for it to stop providing ad services. 

There were just 26 brands appearing on Breitbart in May, down from a high of 242 in March, according to MediaRadar, which tracks ads on websites. 

The site’s decline also coincides with boycotts aimed at getting advertisers to stop running ads on the site. One, Sleeping Giants, a Twitter account started in November, has tracked the number of advertisers worldwide that have committed to stop advertising on Breitbart and its ilk. There were 2,200 on the list as of June 5, according to one of the account’s anonymous organizers. Ad tech companies including AppNexus and The Trade Desk have stopped sending ads to Breitbart.

Breitbart rode the wave of Trumpism as far as it would take them, and now they are caught in its suction as it begins to plummet into the icy depths.

I so wish I could feel badly about this. 

Reverend Sarah Palin preaches that we are weak, pathetic, and nothing without God. Well there's a happy thought!

You, that's right you, are weak and pathetic. Now don't you feel inspired?

Courtesy of Sarah Palin's online place of worship, called "The First Assembly of You All Suck!"

Let's dive right in shall we and let the inspiration wash over our very souls.

Scoot Over; Get Out Of The Driver’s Seat 

That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10 (Keep in minds kids that this is the person who claims that SHE is the real personification of feminism in this country, NOT those courageous women who demonstrated their ability to stand on their own without a man and demanded to be treated as equals. Clearly they were not weak enough.)

There’s nothing like the feeling you get as a mama or a daddy when a child reaches out to you. Little children, by design, are dependent on you for food, protection, and love. (Well I do agree with this at least.)

Guess what, Mom and Dad: We’re all designed to be dependent on God. In fact, we can’t get through life without Him. If you’re like me, you sometimes forget this. We think we’re in control, and – just like our kids – we sometimes forget the true source of our help and protection. (Yes citizens of the 21st Century, always keep in mind that you have achieved NOTHING and that there is an invisible man in the sky who is eternally seeing you as a needy helpless child.)

Only when the winds of persecution begin to blow are we reminded of our weaknesses. In the midst of spiritual battle, we have no one else to turn to but the One really in control. We come face to face with our humanity – our limitations – and we are left seeking the strength and perspective that only comes from above. (Or you could face your adversity, overcome it, and become stronger for the conflict. Just a thought.)

This, friends, is actually a blessing of difficulties, hardships, insults, and persecution: we’re given the opportunity to truly rely on our Maker. Persecution strips us of false notions we have about our own strength, and reminds us where the real stuff can be found – in the arms of our Heavenly Father! Sweet Freedom in Action (WTF?)

Take a break in the arms of the Father, even now. Ask for Him to take control of all areas of your life where you’ve insisted on being in the driver’s seat. (Okay now I think I understand why pedophilia is so rampant within the church. These people are conditioned to be victims.)

Look there is no sense in my suggesting that I understand this even a little bit.

As you know I am not a religious person and find the entire concept to be an obstacle to attaining our destiny as human beings. 

But seriously HOW does this kind of thinking help us to overcome life's many obstacles?

I was very fortunate to be taught at an early age to strive for perfection and to push my limits until I could push no more.

As a result I won championships, set records, and overcame my insecurities, none of which would have been possible if I were told to "delight in weaknesses."

I taught gymnastics to young people, self defense to women, and necessary life skills to the emotionally and mentally fragile.

At no time in my life have I ever told a single person that "when they are weak, they are strong."

Hell no! When you are strong you are strong, and when you are weak it is only because you are at the beginning of your journey to becoming strong.

As human beings we have proven ourselves to be capable of amazing discoveries, courageous adventures, and awe inspiring accomplishments.

Just imagine how much more we could have achieved if there were not those preaching to us that we are nothing, and can do nothing, without the assistance of a celestial patriarch?

Sarah Palin uses the Bible to attack education and smear college professors.

Palin at one of the numerous colleges she attended.

Courtesy of Sister Mary Hypocrite's Bible study page:

No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. 

Matthew 6:24 

(And what does that passage have to do with college you might ask? Nothing really, but that does not stop Palin from using it as an opening for this serving of stupidity.) 

It took me five years (And five different colleges.) to graduate college, because I worked throughout to pay for it. All my siblings did; there was never a question about Dad’s teacher salary covering four kids in college at once. We did the math…we all got jobs. Nowadays, parents unload boatloads of money on a kid’s “college experience,” and that “experience” has never been costlier. (The Democrats had a plan for bringing tuition costs down dramatically, just that I should remind people of that.)

Not just financially. Modern college culture often involves nonstop efforts to unravel our children’s value systems. Self-indulgence is the name of the game, with professors blatantly attempting to indoctrinate with their liberalism. (Well facts DO have a liberal bias.) College today isn’t necessarily an incredibly rigorous experience, where students’ minds are constantly challenged and their horizons broadened. (And you would know this how?) So many courses are so politically correct they don’t even pass the straight-face test. Since really buckling down to take silly courses isn’t required, much time is dedicated to just having a good time – to partying. Many professors have cushy jobs that don’t require them to, you know, actually teach. (Also complete bullshit.) That means parents spend their hard-earned money – or, more accurately, borrow their not-yet- earned money – for grad students and adjuncts to fill the role of educator. You getting what you paid for, Pops? 

And for all of this, the student-loan debt in America is nearly $1 trillion! It’s prudent to think twice before shelling out big bucks to liberals so they can enjoy efforts to brainwash the next generation.

(Well she has a point. The best way for conservative parents to keep their kids conservative is to deny them an education.)

Today, teach kids the value of higher education, making sure they value God’s Truth over the falsehoods of man. (In this context God's Truth is superstitious nonsense from the Bible, and the "falsehoods of man" are facts.) Consider creative ways to pay for education – such as, ummm, getting a job. It teaches them the value of what they’re receiving, and even possibly keeps them from blowing cash when the keg party passes the hat.

I am sorry, HOW many of Palin's kids attended college? (And I don't mean hair or skin college.)

And HOW many of them have jobs right now? 

Last I heard Willow was working, but as for the others.......

And do we have an example of what happens to kids who do not go on to pursue higher education, and instead embrace their parent's values?

Oh that's right, we do.

Go ahead revisit the Palin family embracing their family values instead of going to college and being "indoctrinated."

Gee, if only ALL parents raised their children in a similar fashion.

Sarah Palin pulls article from her website critical of Colin Kaepernick, blames others.

Courtesy of TMZ:

Sarah Palin has removed an article from her website criticizing Colin Kaepernick's $50,000 donation to Meals on Wheels ... and we're told the post is NOT in line with the former governor's beliefs. 

As we previously reported, a story went up on SarahPalin.com Wednesday morning titled, "SERIOUSLY? Colin Kaepernick Just Pulled ANOTHER Political Stunt." 

The article was NOT written by Palin -- but it was posted on Sarah's official Facebook page with a comment saying, "And he wonders why he can't find a job." 

Now, we're told Sarah did NOT have a personal role in greenlighting the story, posting it on her site or Facebook page, or adding the additional comment. 

One source familiar with the situation tells us, "This is not a view that Governor Palin holds. She has a long history of volunteering for Meals on Wheels and donating to them." 

"This was an opinion by a contributor to sarahpalin.com and as has since been removed."

First off I have NEVER any evidence of Sarah Palin volunteering to help Meals on Wheels.

Secondly I am really loving the fact that Palin is being called out for having a website that she is not even smart or talented enough to maintain on her own.

Thirdly this post sounds SO MUCH like something Sarah Palin would have okayed that I am having a hard time believing she did not give it her hoofprint of approval.

Personally I think that if she had not been excoriated for this post it would still be up over at sarahpalin.com.

imagine being so racist you get mad a black athlete for donating to meals on wheels https://t.co/wIEa4RBK3s

Anybody of a differing opinion?

Sarah Palin calls on Trump to fire FBI Director James Comey because he is too closely tied to Hillary Clinton. Wait, what?

The post then links to Palin's crappy website and to an article written by some other dude.

I felt no need to visit the page and give it anymore hits to I'll let the folks at Raw Story describe what it says:  

Sarah Palin called on President Donald Trump to dump FBI Director James Comey — who she suggested was too closely tied to Hillary Clinton.

Palin linked to an article on her own website, written by Lawrence Richard and citing a dubiously sourced Sept. 10 report posted on Breitbart News that allegedly “exposed” Comey’s connection to the Clinton Foundation. 

The Breitbart report points to Comey’s previous work for organizations that donated money or formed partnerships with the Clinton family’s foundation but neglects to demonstrate any conflicts of interest in the FBI director’s investigation of the Democratic presidential candidate’s emails.

Yeah not only did Comey's so-called "conflicts of interest" seemingly have no impact on his investigation of Clinton's private server, his October 28th letter suggesting that there were potentially confidential Clinton e-mails found on Anthony Weiner's laptop is often cited as the event that cost Hillary the election.

Look I know that Sarah Palin is crazy (Trust me, perhaps NOBODY knows it as well as I do.), but she is also currently channeling what a lot of Right Wing morons are claiming as well.

Attacking Comey's integrity is the only way they can deflect from the fact that the man they chose to occupy the most important political position on the planet is currently under federal investigation for possible criminal activity and has been publicly called out as a habitual liar.

One has to wonder what lie they will tell themselves if this investigation finds that Trump, and his campaign, were indeed colluding with the Russians to alter the outcome of this election?

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.

Sarah Palin dives deep into her pool of hypocrisy while preaching about charitable giving.

Okay so it has been awhile I thought it was about time to go ahead and see what the Wasilla Wendigo has been up to.

Well mostly scouring Donald Trump's withered orange ball sack with her tongue actually, but also occasionally stepping up to the pulpit to preach to the handful or supporters who still give two shits about what she has to say.

And so it was yesterday with a "Daily Devotional" about giving.

No I did not type that incorrectly, it is about giving.

Of course the post starts out with a Bible verse that I imagine somebody looked up for her just for this occasion.

Then Palin turns the hypocrisy up to eleven and this is the result: 

Growing up, I was taught that the Bible says we can “test” God in our tithes and offerings. Without fail, He always repays when we give. (Yeah, okay that is demonstrably untrue.) It’s been fun to pass that lesson on to my kids because they clearly see the proof. 

The blessing of giving is participating in it willingly – cheerfully even. Our government has it backward. Politicians put their hands in someone else’s pocket instead of treating other people’s hard-earned money as they would their own. In Washington, there’s too much addiction to OPM (other people’s money). (This from a woman who quite literally lived on the donations to her SuperPAC from idiots who believed she was actually someday going to run for president.) In fact, when politicians’ personal finances have to be disclosed when they run for office, some of the most self-described compassionate liberals are revealed as the least charitable. (I'm sorry, where are Donald Trump's tax returns again?)

That’s not God’s plan. He’s calling us to step up. The easy way out is to simply depend on the government to hand out everything, bu (I think that was supposed to be "but.") the first lesson in any good Econ 101 course is: “There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.” (Don't your children receive free health care for being part native? Why yes, yes they do.) Our government was never intended to rob from Peter to give to Paul. Safety nets? Yes. Unnecessary government dependency? No. Joy, blessings, and productivity are found in voluntary giving, in personally providing help to the needy. (Literally not a self aware bone in this lunatic's body. Remember the family motto? "What's in it for us?")

Today, give something extravagant to God, not out of guilt or obligation, but because you delight in God’s generosity and want to emulate it!

Now I have to admit that the idea of tithing has always really bothered me.

After all for what use does a creature with the ability to create something out of nothing have for money?

And why do people need to pay to have a priest, pastor, or minister explain a book to them that they can all read for themselves?

Yeah, that just never made sense to me.

So there you go, what Sarah Palin is up when she is not giving Donald Trump a good ball washing is honing her televangelist skills, which clearly still need some work.

Sarah Palin denies that she is a racist. Then attempts to prove it by attacking BLM and President Obama.

The Palin family playing "Eskimo Bingo."

From the depths of the dark web where only fools dare to tread: 

Todd is an Alaskan native and part Eskimo; my kids’ Yupik Eskimo heritage is a badge of honor, not a chip on their shoulder. (Eskimo?)

You’ll not see my kids falsely charging someone with racism just because they disagree with an opinion. (No they just call them "faggot.")

But liberals slap that racist label on me – and any other conservative – simply to stop debate on any issue. What a tactic! It immediately puts you on the defensive. 

Racial tensions are mounting, and Americans are being divided. We don’t have “whites only” water fountains or “separate but equal” schools anymore, but, ironically, race relations in this country seemed to take a giant step backward under the presidency of Barack Obama. (Yes, because of the racists who came out of the woodwork in response to his candidacy. You know, that same ones that showed up at the McCain/Palin rallies.)

Slogans proclaiming “black lives matter” have clouded the truth that all lives matter. And, to show how crazy things are, both a college president and a Democrat politician have actually apologized for saying that “all lives matter,” as if that were somehow wrong. (They missed the point, as does Palin.)

But the fact is, we’re all created in God’s image. (The white Anglo-Saxon god that was inflicted on the native people in Alaska by the missionaries who punished them for speaking their own language and forcibly changed their names to ones plucked from the Bible? Does she mean THAT god?)


Not to nitpick, but I have known dozens and dozens of Alaska natives in my life, and not one of them ever called themselves an "Eskimo." 

As for Palin being a racist well she was quoted as saying she would not hire any blacks when she became governor, did nothing to help the people of Emmonak despite public outrage, and during her 2008 campaign rallies whipped the racists into a frenzy by constantly attacking Barack Obama as "the other."

I would argue that Palin actually planted the racist seeds in 2008 that Donald Trump harvested to become president in 2016.

So is Sarah Palin a racist?

Is water wet?

Sarah Palin uses the Bible to condemn same sex marriage.

Okay well I had to visit Palin's stupid new website to read this, but you all can read it here: 

“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?” Matthew 19:4-5 (Looks like Palin is moving ever closer to her eventual career as a televangelist.)

When God created Adam and Eve as similar but oh-so-different, those very differences created the institution that’s so hotly debated today: marriage. (Actually marriage predates religion, at least the religions that we see today, and was originally typically  seen as strategic alliance between families. Neither love, nor god, had much of anything to do with it.)


He made us “male and female,” so “for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife.” (Once again primitive quotes from religious texts have virtually nothing to do with our modern understanding of marriage.)

On June 26, 2015, five of the nine appointed Supreme Court justices voted to redefine marriage, knocking down laws all across the country. No longer, according to the court, can marriage be defined as the union of one man and one woman. (And that is what we refer to as "progress.")

But Psalm 33:10-12 says God is ultimately in control of the nations and His plans stand firm forever, meaning everything He ordains won’t be un-ordained, even by five black robes. (Somebody needs to remind this nitwit that we live by the rule of law in America. Not by Biblical law.)

Franklin Graham brilliantly stated, “With all due respect to the court, it did not define marriage, and therefore is not entitled to re-define it.” (Nobody cares, and that is a fairly loose translation of the word "brilliantly.".)

No matter what happens next from the courts, and there’s bound to be a “next” or many “nexts,” God’s law for marriage and family remains the same. And I’m sticking with His plan.

As individuals and as a society, we need to strengthen marriage, not redefine it through the courts or devalue it through sin. Do something special to strengthen your own marriage, remember that it is a union before God, and remember that the family is sometimes called “the domestic church.”

Let me remind all of you that Palin HAD to get married because she was knocked up. Just like her mother.

She also got married in a courthouse, so there was no "union before god."

There is also quite a bit of evidence to suggest that the child she was carrying at the time was NOT Todd's son. I don't think the Bible has a lot of nice things to say about THAT either.

Add to that the fact that Palin also had an affair with Todd's business partner, and it seems that she is lobbing stones inside the shakiest of glass houses.

If we also consider Bristol's two pregnancies out of wedlock, and Track beating his fiancee either before or after he impregnated her, also outside of wedlock, it just makes everything Palin has had ghostwritten for her in this post seem almost like she is purposefully inviting mockery.

Either that or she is the least self aware person on the planet.

You decide.

I think in some ways this perfectly sums up the Trump administration so far.

No your eyes are not playing tricks on you.

That is the official inauguration portrait that WAS being sold on the official Library of Congress website before somebody pointed out that they were shy one "o" in the word "too."

You know for most administrations this would really be no big deal, but since THIS typo is on the portrait of a man who famously struggles with spelling it is simply too (Spelled with two "o's") perfect.

The Huffington Post finally reaches the conclusion that we did last month, that Sarah Palin is now a shitposter whose website is a honeytrap for clicks.

Courtesy of HuffPo:  

Former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has several websites that regularly feature misinformation labeled as news. 

Her website, www.sarahpalin.com, features a column called “News” filled with largely aggregated stories written with a conservative slant. Those stories often feature misinformation and falsehoods.

HuffPo then goes on to give examples of fake or extremely exaggerated stories such as this:

As you can see by how this is written it is designed to pique your interest, but once you click the link it is invariably completely false or not at all as interesting as the title suggests.

This is clearly click bait and it is Sarah Palin's new, and possibly only remaining, method for bringing in revenue.

With SarahPAC essentially shut down, and her judge show aborted prematurely, Palin does not have any real income stream on which she can rely.

However if she thinks blogging is going to, in any way, replace her SarahPAC donations, well she is about to learn a very hard lesson indeed.

Especially once her few remaining fans read this disclaimer: 

There is a disclaimer on Palin’s website that the articles “DO NOT necessarily reflect the views held by Governor Palin,” but articles from the site are often featured on her Facebook page, which has 4.7 million “likes.” 

Seriously WHO among her tiny handful of supporters is going to want to read articles featured on Sarah Palin's website that she not only does not write, but which may not even reflect her point of view?

Let's face it Sarah Palin's brand is dead.

So dead in fact that even I can hardly be bothered to ridicule her any longer.

Sarah Palin gets called out for spamming her last few supporters with click bait heavy website, after Trump abandoned her by the side of the road.

An example of the desperate headlines Palin uses to drive traffic her way.

Courtesy of the Daily Banter: 

It was a real life love story, almost on par with Sean Hannity's intense man crush and unwavering devotion to the orange real estate tycoon. Palin was Trump's gal, and she went to work activating the millions of mean spirited, intellectually limited Americans she helped rally for John McCain in 2008. Palin stuck with Trump through thick and thin, defending his pussy grabbing and going to bat for him when his campaign looked to be at death's door. 

 Sadly for Palin, the love story was short lived, and when Trump won, she was left out in the cold as ruthlessly as Trump's ex wives were when he found a newer, younger model. After stringing her along with the promise of a cabinet position, Trump dumped Palin for Rep. Ryan Zinke without anyInitially, Palin lashed out at Trump with a scathing op-ed accusing him of 'crony capitalism'. It was an astonishing move by Palin that almost certainly did not go unnoticed by Trump's people. Palin clearly realized she had miscalculated her influence in the radically transforming political climate, and went radio silent for a few weeks until re-emerging with a renewed sense of loyalty to her former sugar daddy. 

The Banter then points out that Palin is essentially out of options since her political career drank itself to death years ago, her television career was short and brutal, and her books are now being used to wipe asses and prop open doors.

So Palin turned to having a website created for her which uses the Facebook algorithms to attract clicks and bring in ad revenue.

A cursory scroll through her newsfeed shows article after article after article with headlines like the ones above, all of them linking to poorly written puff pieces littered with cheap ads and with enough key words to show up in Google searches. 

This business model, perfected by the likes of Buzzfeed and UpWorthy almost a decade ago, is fast running out of steam. Facebook and Google are moving to prevent the proliferation of clickbait, and Palin's websites will no doubt be feeling the effects. To combat this, Palin and the people she is working with are simply producing more of it, meaning fewer ad dollars per piece, but likely enough to cover the bills -- at least for now. 

You might have noticed that I am no longer writing posts that link to Palin's website.

The reason for that is because like the Daily Banter points out it is just click bait.

Which might be forgivable if there was actually anything to the posts except exaggerated headlines and clearly ghostwritten garbage.

Let's face it, now that her future prospects look dismal at best, Sarah Palin is trying to reinvent herself as the very thing that she used to hate the most.

A successful blogger.

However she cannot even do that right because she has to have somebody else do the actual work for her, while she attempts to absorb the attention and make a buck.

Sarah Palin will of course fail at this because she is not willing to put in the hard work of building an audience and working to inform them and keep them up to speed on the news of the day.

That takes dedication and commitment.

And those are two things that Sarah Palin has NEVER had.

Sarah Palin explains that she did not close SarahPAC because the funds dried up, it was because it already changed the face of American politics.

Courtesy of the Moosenugget shoveler's Facebook page: 

Because of your support we have changed the face of the Republican Party and American politics, so thank you! What a chapter it has been! And now together we'll write a new one. (Yep the PAC is not closing due to a lack of funds, it's because they won already!)

Anyone on the national political stage will tell you SarahPAC is different. Our team of volunteers and very few paid staffers have operated what is arguably the most unconventional but relevant and EFFECTIVE PACs in the country. (Oh Jesus, I am drowning in bullshit here.)

We didn't engage in political cronyism, didn't capitalize on PAC influence for anyone's employment or hob-nobbing opportunities, and we did not profit from the PAC. (Say what?)We "went rogue" every day for nearly eight years to prove an aspect of American politics could be clean and upright. (Unbelievable!)

Instead of conventional politicking, we strived to serve you by providing a voice for everyday hardworking patriots who knew the political status quo had to go. Our efforts utilized the platform God has graciously and inexplicably blessed me with. 

It's been you - our tremendous supporters - making it all possible. (Suckers!)

Friends, our shared belief in the mission to make America exceptional again will live on, and in fact can now grow exponentially with an even LOUDER and more OPTIMISTIC collective voice. The time is right to propel this mission forward! 

Stay tuned for the next steps we'll take with you as SarahPAC winds down and we leap forward into the next chapter. Let's keep living my dad's golden adage: "Don't retreat; reload!"  (Apparently that crappy website is the "next chapter." Let's call it "Chapter 11" shall we?)

God bless you, - Sarah Palin

And that my friends is how "alternative facts" work.

To be fair there really IS reason for Palin and her followers to believe that something has been achieved, and Palin DID have a hand in helping Trump appeal to the most ignorant, easily manipulated, people in the country.

Which ultimately helped him to "win."

However all of that talk about how "clean and upright" the PAC operated is absolutely laugh out loud funny.

As was pointed out by no less than the Washington Post, "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."

Yes, exactly! 

As for this next chapter, as far as I can tell Palin's "next chapter" is keeping her son out of jail, keeping people from taking her grandchildren away, keeping her family's dirty little secretes out of the press.

Which may prove difficult since the judge just refused to keep Track's child custody case confidential and she no longer has the resources to pay people to be quiet.
