Sarah Palin is coming to the Inland Empire.
Palin, the 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate and former governor of Alaska, will be at the Riverside Convention Center at 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 24, with her husband, Todd, for an American Diabetes Association (ADA) event honoring four men with “Father of the Year” awards.
“Serving as ADA ambassadors, these honorees bring awareness to ADA as well as the importance of fatherhood,” read an association news release.
The Palins will present the award to Walker Evans, an off-road racing legend and longtime Riverside resident. In a phone interview, Evans said he’s known the Palins for about four and a half years and that Sarah Palin has stayed at his home.
A nine-time Baja 100 champion and Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee, Evans said he’s stayed at the Palins’ home in Wasilla, Alaska and helped Todd Palin in the Iron Dog snowmobile race.
“(They’re) just a great family and (Todd’s) a great guy to hang out with,” said Evans, who has donated to the campaigns of President Donald Trump and Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Corona. “They’re just a joy to be with.”
"Joy to be with?" I'm guessing Walker Evans is a heavy drinker perhaps?
Gee, flying all the way to California for such a small event. And yet Alaska was too far away for Palin to travel all the way to Ohio for the GOP convention?
Interesting.
Hey maybe Palin can make it a twofer and find a local car wash or pet grooming salon that is having a grand opening and needs some old washed up has been to help cut the ribbon?
You know, just to make the trip worthwhile.
That's not as bad as her bff Donnie giving a speech on Islam in Saudi Arabia coming in the next few days.
ReplyDeleteIf these honorees have type one diabetes they have a preexisting condition, perhaps from childhood. No insurance for you! If they have type two, it's their own fault for eating crap for years. No insurance for you either. Or, if you can get it it is very expensive.
ReplyDeleteThis is what your dear leader has in store for you.
But most tellingly, once she spoke at the RNC Convention. Now Sarah goes to these redneck towns (that most learned people avoid like the plague), to speak to high school graduates and (give them each a dollar) and to give awards to diabetics. No disrespect to the diabetics..but much disrespect meant for the organization choosing the Palins to honor their awardees!!
Winning!
And $arah actively dissed and tried to undermine First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move and healthy eating program.
DeleteMaybe she'll tape a quarter (times are tough, doncha know) under the chairs of the four award recipients.
ReplyDeleteI figure since she is an idiot, she will be handing out cookies or Big Gulps!!!
Deletestore bought cookies.

How, in God's name, is Sarah Palin even remotely considered an "ambassador" for the Amer. Diabetes Assn? And Todd's getting an award for being a great father? Really. Hasn't anyone told Sarah and Todd that Trump's budget director days ago said that no one with Diabetes 2 should be allowed to have health insurances? This world has gone all topsy-turvy!
ReplyDeleteWho's paying for the junket to California? Not that I contribute to the organization, but the next time I get a begging letter from the ADA I'm going to send them a response about what I think of their honorees. I don't even mind wasting a stamp. I think they need lots of money-less responses from people who receive their begging letters.
The ADA is one of the many illness-themed organizations that did nothing to help get the ACA passed. As far as I know, the only one that encouraged passage of the ACA was the national Down Syndrome organization. I don't think people with Down Syndrome will do well under the GOP/Trump take-medical-care-away-from-people legislation now pending in the Senate.

The article doesn't say that the Palins are receiving any awards. My interpretation is that they will be among the presenters. The four honorees include Walker Evans, but nothing indicates that either Mr. or Mrs. Sarah Palin will be receiving anything (thank goodness)!!
DeleteADA, like most 'charities' isn't really looking for a cure. There's no money in a cure but there's a pot of gold in soliciting funds to 'find a cure'. Cancer society is the worst. What the hell would these imbeciles do for a living if a disease was stamped out??? Those working in research to actually find the solutions get only a few bucks from these fund raising orgs.
DeleteThis is palin's new grift, find charities that need reasonably well known spokespersons to fleece their flocks.
7:31 AM - Komen must be a close second. When I beat this cancer, and I WILL, there are better ways to celebrate than join their yearly walk.
DeleteI'd never even heard of this organization but I also don't know anyone with diabetes. I guess any celebrity that bring attention to their disease is a good thing?
DeleteI don't know, but it seems like Palins are grasping at anything these days, even for diseases that really aren't that prevalent any longer thanks to modern medicine.
You go Palins, and perhaps next you can address the foundation for sickle cell anemia, or tuberculosis, rickets, the plague, or other things that hardly anyone in the civilized first-world succumb to.
Meh, she's doing NOTHING for the org. THEY PAY HER. It's just part of her grift - a vacay in Cali. Meanwhile, she was know for undermining healthy eating initiatives. Vicious, stooopid $arah.
DeleteAnonymous 6:53 AM is right. Todd is NOT getting an award.
DeleteWell, well, well. Todd and Sarah, on the road again.
ReplyDeletedowl
Ive noticed she has a lot of friends down here in the west. Some former Alaskans. Some she and Todd met through Charity circuits on their non public projects.
ReplyDeleteAlicia go back to bed!
DeleteShe and Todd met behind the skating rink where Sarah used to fuck Curtis Menard.
DeleteOMG! Don't tell me you are now in the west.
Delete4:34 AM - I'll give you that, little troll, they "have" to stick around their own kind because they know how much they're guffawed at by the vast majority of America, if not the world, and too thin skinned for anything but adulation.
DeleteWhy not, neither she nor Todd have jobs. They have to get away from their weekly ass 'whooping' by Track.
DeleteAs much as I don't want them in Texas, you'd think they'd travel to Texas to see their new grandchild. But no, they go traipsing off for any bit of that dwindling spotlight Sara can try and nab instead.
ReplyDeleteGryphen,
ReplyDeleteThis is a fascinating video and explains why some people are so stubbornly fact-free. It is about the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Your readers may benefit from seeing it.

Oh YES, Tawd certainly raised an exemplary father in Track, didn't he? Let them galavant wherever they want; their days of "glory"
ReplyDeleteare long past, and too funny watching that whole brood act like they're still hot shit.
Maybe they can find a car wash to run ol ' stinky thru to wash off some of the guilt and crime off her scales. What does smelly girl have to do with diabetes? What about your DS grandson?? No DS benefits for Trig??? But you'll travel allll the way to Cali for some benefit to help others,but Nothing for those affected by DS??
ReplyDeleteIn nine years, DS foundations have steered clear of anything Palin representing them and/or speaking on their behalf. With good reason.
DeleteYes this is odd, the town of riverside California is already so polluted. I would hope a protest or more would deter more pollution.
ReplyDeleteHad no idea sara gives a shit about ADA or healthcare at all. How much are they paying her?
ReplyDeleteQuestion should be WHO is in California? Piggy bank?
DeleteThey must have cut her off.
Sarah and Toad need to visit Morono Valley and post some pics.
ReplyDeleteDelish!!!!
Palin doesn't know jack shit about diabetes, but herpes and syphillis, oh yeah!
ReplyDelete$carah is an over the hill skank. No dignity or CLASS in the entire clan of PayMe's.
ReplyDeleteFAS would be more appropriate for her to campaign for, donch know?
ReplyDeleteFAS,Inbred,DS? Obviously not just DS or granny would have been milking DS supporters for everything she could. She seems to skirt around the subject. Something went on there to require having a specialized physician like Dr . Baldwin involved.
DeleteI wonder how much they're paying her. Oh yeah Tawd for father of the year.
ReplyDeleteHow your home team talks about you when you're not around: "It’s like ‘The Sound of Music’ but without the romance, the Nazis or the music.”

Sweet Thing is diabetic, takes daily insulin injections. We have donated to the ADA in the past.
ReplyDeleteYesterday we received a mass mailing fund-raising letter from them. Sweet Thing read this article about Sarah and the ADA -- she then dashed off a letter to the ADA: "Any organization that deals with Sarah Palin will not get a penny of my money. Take me off your mailing list."
We've been married almost 51 years and I learned a long time ago the correct response to her is "Yes, Dear!!"
Happy wife, happy life :)
DeleteI wrote the ADA off years ago when, like most of the other disease-oriented fundraising groups, its officials did nothing to support the ACA or, better yet, single payer insurance. When I receive my next begging letter from the ADA, I'll write a note on the return slip and send it back. I don't even mind putting my own stamp on it.
DeleteBeaglemom
Unsurprisingly for any charity connected to Sarah Palin (they're always crooked in some way), the ADA has a terrible record of actual giving but a good record for living high on the hog.
DeleteDon't give them a penny. Ever.
https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=3251
Beagle mom and 2:44 p.m. write them IN ADVANCE, letting them know why you won't give - and how you'll talk about their hypocrisy to others.
DeleteOkay.
ReplyDeleteThe difference is they were INVITED to this ADA event to be presenters.
And they were probably told not to come to the GOP convention because there was absolutely nothing for them there. Her name would not be mentioned and she would NOT be on stage under any circumstances.
She is in big fish in small pond mode now. And the ponds are getting smaller and smaller.
BTW, I've been in Riverside. It's a nice little community but by California standards it is "backwoods". Fresno and Bakersfield have more juice. You just don't go to Riverside unless you have a very good reason.
Her being in Riverside won't effect the rest of California in any way. I doubt it will even be reported on my local news. Had it not been for here, I never would have known she was in my state.
If she had Toad scour around,maybe she could pick up a few $s opening a gas station,or maybe a sewage treatment plant while she's down there.
DeleteThere must be a Palin whoreshiper on that local ADA chapter for this to occur.
ReplyDeleteExpect her to dress like the one she is!
DeleteFloosey.
DeleteI will be telling the ADA off. I have been diabetic for many, many years. They really don't care about curing the disease, they just support all the crap people need to buy that have it. Their diabetic diet is bullshit, they just want you to take more insulin. I remember being in the hospital and I could not believe the shit they served at meals, cinnamon rolls, regular rolls, all kinds of crap that would drive up your blood sugar and the nurses just said it was the ADA diabetic diet. Then they would just shoot you full of insulin if you ate that stuff. Whatever.
ReplyDeleteGosh, poor Sarah couldn’t even wrangle an ambassadorship to Outer Mongolia from little donnie and is reduced to “begging” for money.
ReplyDeleteHow in the hell are they supporting their “lifestyle” without SarahPAC?
Sarah who?
ReplyDeleteOne of Sarah's wealthy Vegas friends wants recognition for achieving not much. He must feel very sorry for her to be giving her this puny gig.
ReplyDeleteIt must be hell for Queen Esther to be so over but I'm hoping that she will finally be offered some idiot gig at the Trump Asylum where her toxic stink can finish them both off.
Vegas "friend?" Palin's don't have friends just victims and future victims. I thought he was a washed up NASCAR type?
Deletesent to servicecentercs@diabetes.org
ReplyDeleteDear Fundraising team,
I understand that for some reason, your Riverside, CA chapter has chosen to engage the discredited, anti-health advocate and failed politican Sarah Palin and her husband to present an award on the flimsiest of reasons - the recipient has known her for a couple years. Your award, your choice. But you might want to consider that politicizing a health organization in this way will alienate many of those, like me, who have been a supporter of ADA in the past.
24 hours and only 52 comments, Sarah Palin has fallen.
