Taking a break from politics to check in on our favorite dysfunctional family.

So from what I can gather this is Dakota and Bristol doing the whole "pretend not to hate each other for the sake of the kids" thing for the Easter holiday.

I've been there.

I am not a body language expert but if Bristol and Dakota were any further apart one of them would not even be in this photo.

It seems to me that Tripp is finishing out the school year in Texas, but I do not know what that means for him going forward.

Bristol however is likely stuck there at least until after the divorce, at which time she will have to decide if she wants to do the long distance parenting thing, or suck it up and stay in a state where she has limited friends and no family.

As for Track Palin, well his hearing has been reset or continued six times now starting way back in January, and the current date is set for May 5th.

In the meantime Track is under house arrest and all of this guns have been taken away.

So I am sure he is having plenty of time to contemplate his actions.

Who are we kidding? He is likely blaming his parents, blaming his exes, and blaming God.

Track is not an introspective person.

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.

Jordan Loewe's Daily Mail interview is a terrifying tale of abuse, and confirms much of what we suspected about Track Palin.

So yes Jordan gave a rather extensive interview to the Daily Mail which was published yesterday.

Here are some of the very troubling snippets: 

DailyMailTV has viewed records of the calls made to Jordan from a number registered to Track Palin. 

In one call from 2016, Track says: 'Obviously, if you're coming out here, and you're going to bring anybody else out here, then your person who you're going to bring out here is a hostile intent, and I'm going to treat him like a hostile intent I'm going to put him in the ground. I'm going to bury him.' 

Jordan told DailyMailTV: 'This is a violent person. This is a really dangerous, unstable person. I started recording him and saving every voicemail he left me.' 

The 24-year-old revealed the physical assaults, harassment and psychological torture she endured as her ex awaits trial for assaulting his father at the Palin family compound in Wasilla, Alaska last month. 

Jordan says that she was inspired to tell her story by the #MeToo movement, which for some reason really tickles me.

Jordan says that they started dating in 2015, and though there were some red flags, their relationship seemed relatively normal until Track took a contracting job in Iraq.

While he was gone Track became convinced that Jordan would cheat on him and called her constantly: 

'He was checking in at every location that I was at. He blamed it on being out of the country and I blamed it on that too, because he wasn't like that before.' 

As the long-distance relationship progressed, the phone calls and messages became relentless. 

'It was out of control. I think he had a lot of free time. He was stuck in a building with Wi-Fi and could blow up my phone with texts and calls. 

Jordan thought things would mellow out once he returned. They didn't.

'Track was very possessive about me and going out in public and being around my old group of friends,' Jordan said. 

'He was so threatened by my girlfriends, guy friends, my family, my brother - anybody. He didn't want me around them. 

'He tried to make everybody in my life out to be a bad person and would find any flaws they had as people and make them well known to me.' 

Jordan claims that Track did not seem to drink that much, but when he did he was violent and abusive.

He would sometimes use Bible verses to convince her that he would change. (Who does that sound like?)

Then came the night of the attack in 2016:

'He wanted to see who the text was from but I wouldn't show him my phone. We were in his car and at this point, I was ready to leave,' she said. 

'I wanted to get in my in car and go home. He was trying to get my phone out of my hand and I was very adamant that he was not getting it. 

'I wouldn't give him my phone and he pushed me on the ground. I was laying and he was on top of me, and still just trying to pull it out of my hands and was hitting me in the face, telling me to let go, let go, just give it to me. 

'I wouldn't give it to him so he started kicking me and kneeing me and finally got it out of my hands and threw it across the driveway [of the Palin family home]. 

'I found my phone and the screen was cracked but I tried to call 911 and it wasn't working. I wanted to get out of there and go hide but he had my keys so I couldn't leave.' 

Jordan eventually managed to make it into the house to hide under Trig's bed, but not before Track put the barrel of  his mother's pink AR 15 in his mouth and threatened to kill himself.

Yes, this AR-15. The one that Ted Nugent gave Palin because, you know, the more guns you have, the safer you are.

After that night, the night Track was arrested, Jordan found out she was pregnant.

Unbelievably she decided to make another go at the relationship. (Because doesn't every young child deserve to have a dangerous, out of control parent in their life?)

Jordan claims that Todd and his friends took all of Track's guns out of his house after the assault, but that Track is never without a gun.

He's a gun fanatic. They are hidden in different places - his car, hunting bag, garage, bedside table, storage unit. 

'You can take away the guns that you see but he knows where other guns are hidden. 

'Even after there were no guns - there were still guns. He has friends who would bring him a gun or would buy him a gun. 

'There will never be a day that Track doesn't have access to a gun if he's not in jail.

'Jordan said that Track often carried a gun with him and in particular when he was around strangers. 

'It was a regular thing that when he was yelling and mad, he had a gun in his hand. 

'After a while it didn't even faze me. Looking back that's so crazy. He never pointed a gun at me but he has had a gun in his hand, telling me he was going to kill me. He has put a gun to his head and in his mouth multiple times.'

Track's abuse continued through the pregnancy, and eve after little Charlie was born.

This was Track's response to seeing Jordan get dressed up for work:

'He started screaming, "There's no way, who are you working with? Did someone get hired at your work? What did you do after work? What time did you leave work? Where did you go when you left work?" 

'Charlie was now awake and screaming. I said I'm going to leave, I'm not doing this. 

'He shoves me back down and tells me I'm not leaving. This is while I'm holding Charlie who is 8lb, he was really little. I was really scared because this is the first time he had pushed me while I'm holding Charlie. 

'I stand up and dart for the door and he grabs me by the shoulders. He tells me I'm not leaving, I live here now and I need to grow up. 

'He shoved me onto the floor and I didn't want to let a single hand off of Charlie, so I couldn't catch myself or anything, and I fall to the floor with Charlie in my arms.

'I run to my car and set Charlie in the carrier and lock all the doors. I'm hiding in the backseat with him trying to get Track away from us. He's banging on the windows and throwing rocks at the car. 

'I buckle Charlie in, climb into the front seat, start my car and go down the driveway. It was a gravel driveway so he's picking up handfuls of rocks and throwing them at my car. 

Track chased her down in his truck and tried to run her, and the baby, off the road.

Track also dared her to call the police so that she "could read give our son one more embarrassing headline to read when he grows up."

So she didn't call the police that day, but she did leave him. 

Jordan also says that Track never attended any of the counseling sessions he was court ordered to attend, including the ones he was supposed to complete in order to have joint custody of his son.

The Daily Mail post includes audio of some of Track's harassing phone calls, and they are the stuff of nightmares.

Essentially Jordan's story confirms just about every single thing we have been saying about Track for the last eight or nine years.

He is a violent, out of control sociopath, whose family has covered for him, and enabled him at every turn.

And it took Track almost killing his dad, to finally get them to stop letting him skate by.

Sarah Palin gets another speaking gig. Really?

Courtesy of the Star-Telegram: 

Former vice-presidential candidate and governor of Alaska Sarah Palin will dine in Denton next month as the featured speaker at a Denton County Republican Party event. 

Palin will give an address at the party's annual Lincoln-Reagan dinner on Saturday, Feb. 10, according to a news release, which also calls Palin a "conservative icon." 

The ticketed event begins at 5 p.m. and will be at the Denton Embassy Suites hotel. It includes a meet-and-greet with local candidates and current GOP office-holders. individual tickets are listed at $125 on the party's web site.

It has been sometime since Palin has had a speaking gig, which makes me think that perhaps there were some recent unexpected expenses that were not covered in the Palin yearly budget.

You know, things like lawyer costs, replacing broken windows, medical bill for a badly beaten husband, that kind of thing.

In fact even in Texas they know about that most recent Palin kerfuffle: 

Other members of the Palin family have made more news than she has recently, though. Her son Track pleaded not guilty Monday to a felony assault charge in a a case involving a dispute with his father, Todd Palin, according to the Associated Press.

Yep, not going to be able to leave that behind.

Which of course means that Palin will not be taking any questions from the press during her visit. 

Well, maybe Fox News if they bother to cover the event.

Track Palin plead not guilty today, by phone.

Courtesy of the WaPo:

Sarah Palin’s oldest son pleaded not guilty Monday to a felony charge in the case accusing him of assaulting his father at the family’s Alaska home last month. 

Track Palin’s lawyer entered the plea to a burglary charge on his behalf at his arraignment. The 28-year-old did not attend the hearing in person, but participated by phone. His parents also did not attend. 

During the brief proceeding, Palin said only, “Yes, ma’am,” when the judge asked if he was on the telephone line.

I think this one burglary charge is kind of a stretch, because I don't think that Track took anything, except for Todd Palin's pride of course.

Breaking and entering would seem like a reasonable charge, as does the assault, but I am not sure that burglary will fly.

By the way Dennis Zaki and I had planned to drive out to Palmer for this hearing today, but we learned that a number of media outlets were planing to cover the trial and realized that Track was too much of a pansy to face them by showing up in person.

And that of course also meant that Todd and Sarah would certainly not make an appearance either, so why waste our time?

Track also has a pretrial court date on February 2nd, and his actual trial is scheduled for February 26th.

I do think he has to definitely show up in person to that last one.

P.S. By the way Track is now using Dakota Meyer's old attorney, Kimberlee Colbo, in his battle with Jordan Loewe over her attempts to change the child custody arrangement.

My question is who the hell is paying THOSE attorney fees?

Sarah Palin has shared the first picture of Todd's bruised up face since Track kicked his ass.

Trailering snowmachines to trailhead for trek out to the cabin... perfect way to usher in the new year! May 2018 be a year of breakthrough, joy & victory for all!

A post shared by Sarah Palin (@sarahpalin97) on Dec 31, 2017 at 2:58pm PST

Todd looks like he is on the mend, but you can still make out a bruise under his right eye and a cut on the bridge of his nose.

What is it about Sarah Palin constantly sharing photos of family injuries?

This was from her supposed fall while "rock running."

And of course this is Todd after his snowmachine"accident" back in 2016.

Wouldn't it be funny if all of these are Track related injuries and Sarah has been surreptitiously documenting them on social media for when she needs to use them in court?

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.

Britta Hanson gave her daughter a safe word to protect her from her father Track Palin's temper.

Britta Hanson with Palin at Governor's picnic.

Courtesy of The Blast:  

Track Palin‘s ex-wife got a protective order against him to keep her and the couple’s 6-year-old daughter safe, and also created a safeword to use in case the child needed to be secretly saved from the troubled man. 

According to documents filed in Alaska by Britta Hanson, and obtained by The Blast, Hanson agreed to a secret phrase with 6-year-old Kyla that would alert her mom if she needed to be picked up from Track’s home if she felt she was in danger. 

Hanson would know there was trouble if Kyla asked her, “Mom, can you sing me a bedtime song?” Hanson says that on November 25, she went to pick Kyla up after staying the night with Track, and when she showed up he was enraged, allegedly “cussing and yelling” and “grabbed me and pushed me into the wall” when she began to record on her phone. 

She says he took their daughter and headed to the home of Sarah and Todd Palin, and she followed. 

Hanson says Kyla went to hang out with Sarah, and she confronted Track with his father, Todd. She says Track flipped out, started throwing tools and threatened to beat up Todd.

Hanson says after the November incident, Sarah, Todd, and herself agreed that she would drop Kyla off at their house in the future, and Track could spend supervised time with his daughter. 

She also says the night Track was arrested for attacking his father, she received a call from Piper Palin informing her of the situation, and locked herself inside her house with her family in fear that Track may come after them. 

She says their daughter is not safe with Track. Hanson also lists in the document that he has committed an act of domestic violence against the child, but does not give details.

Gee, I can almost hardly wait for the Palin troll to show up and start lecturing all of us about what a good guy Track is, and how all of this is a recent development.

It's not. This is who Track Palin has been for over a decade now, and unless he gets help he is going to kill somebody.

And that somebody could even be one of his own children.

As we reported before Britta DID get that restraining order and baby mama number two Jordan Loewe was granted a change in her custody agreement.

According to the Daily Mail, Todd, Sarah, and Willow have all also taken out restraining orders against Track. 

P.S. I know that some of you want me to post about Willow's engagement, but I do not consider that actual news and will not do so here on IM. Sorry.

Track Palin's supposed PTSD is now being used to excuse his most recent assault.

Shushannah Walsh, who once authored a book about Sarah Palin (Sarah from Alaska), is essentially offering excuses for Track's behavior here.

Yes Track has a definite substance abuse problem.

But no it has NOTHING to do with any PTSD from his time in the military.

As we have noted a number of times in the past, Track did NOT actually see any combat while he was serving his one year hitch overseas.

In his discharge papers, posted above, there is no CIB (Combat Infantry Badge) which is given to ALL infantrymen and special forces who ACTIVELY participate in combat.

This of course means that Track did NOT see any actual combat, which I am sure his mother arranged for before she forced him to enlist.

So if indeed Track is suffering from PTSD, it is a disorder he earned simply by being a member of the Palin family, and NOT one he earned while serving his country.

As for the opioid problem, well Track has been dealing with that since his teens.

And that is ALSO likely the result of being a member of the Palin family.

Track also appeared in court today and was approved for house arrest.

Courtesy of ADN:  

Magistrate Judge Tara Logsdon approved house arrest with electronic monitoring for Palin and kept his $5,000 bail. Logsdon said she expected Palin to be released Wednesday. 

Once released, he's not allowed to go within an "exclusion zone" around his parents' home along the Parks Highway, or near liquor stores or places serving alcohol. He can't drink and must take prescription drugs only as prescribed. All weapons must be taken out of his house. 

Palin, who lives alone, will be allowed to go to medical appointments and to work at Alaska Directional LLC, a drilling company in Palmer. 

The family supports the house arrest request, Todd Palin told the judge by phone. His parents and siblings — younger brother Trig and sister Piper — still want contact with Track, Todd Palin said. 

It's not known if the children were in the house during the assault. 

Personally I would keep the kids far away from Track at this point, but the Palin family is not exactly known for good parenting decisions.

The prosecutor was not happy with some of these bail terms agreed to by the judge, but she did manage to get her request approved for a mental health evaluation.

Well, that's a start.

P.S. For those who were asking for one, here is a photo of Track from today's proceedings.

 Oh yeah, that is definitely the face of a man you want spending time with your kids.

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. 

Track Palin arrested!

Courtesy of KTUU: 

Court records show the son of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been arraigned on three charges Sunday morning, all are domestic violence related. Track Palin, 28, faces a Class B Felony charge of first-degree burglary, one charge of assault in the fourth degree and one charge of criminal mischief in the fourth degree 

According to CourtView, the charges were all committed on Saturday, Dec. 16. Palin was arraigned in the Palmer Courthouse at 10:00 a.m., Sunday morning. 

Records indicate he previously faced domestic violence charges in 2016. At that time, Palin faced fourth-degree assault charges, a weapons charge and a charge of interfering with a domestic violence report. He was allegedly intoxicated. Former Gov. Sarah Palin spoke about those accusations against Track Palin, suggesting post-traumatic stress disorder may have been a factor from his service in the army.

Well now we know what got Palin so fired up about those old stories about her family yesterday.

So you want to hear something really funny?

Dennis Zaki and I were just joking around on Friday that Track was definitely going to end up back in jail anytime now.

And lo and behold.

Update: According to Court View Track is currently in custody.

Perhaps nobody is interested in bailing his drunken ass out this time. 

Update 2: Court View also did not identify WHO Track assaulted, so right now we do not know if it was another hapless girlfriend or a family member.

Anybody seen Todd lately?

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

Beautiful day for a stroll with two of my favorites!! I have been bringing my tumbler everywhere with me lately.

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

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

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

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

He confirmed that this picture was taken on that day.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Jordan Loewe's father exposes the truth about Sarah Palin's violent out of control son.

Courtesy of Radar Online:

Sarah Palin has turned her back on her boozing and brawling son Track — even as he wages a vicious custody war with his baby mama over his infant son, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal. 

In fact, the 27-year-old terror’s violent temper has alienated everyone around him! 

“He’s hot-headed, he’s out of control and he has anger issues!” Matthew Loewe, the distraught father of Track’s baby mama, Jordan Loewe, told Radar. 

“He’s thrown stuff at Jordan, thrown rocks at Jordan — he’s even thrown stuff at her when she was holding their baby!” 

And despite being ordered to undergo a therapeutic program, Matthew says his behavior has done anything but improve since then. 

“From time that this all started and the cops getting involved, I have yet to hear that [Track] is doing any therapy or anything. (From what I heard Track NEVER went to any kind of therapy.)

If anything, Matthew said that Track’s gotten worse — even threatening his own parents when they tried to control his rage-fueled outbursts! 

“Track hates [his father] Todd,” according to Jordan’s dad. “Jordan and Track had an argument one night that it got so out of control she called… and they both came over. 

“He threatened to beat up his dad, saying, ‘Come on old man, you’re full of metal now.'” (So, NO snowmachine accident?)

Matthew also revealed that the former governor and her husband have washed their hands of their troubled son — and even warned their daughter to get away from him. 

“Before Jordan got pregnant, Todd told her, ‘I’d run if I were you,” Matthew revealed.

Jordan's father also claims that Todd and Sarah are estranged from Track and have cut ties with him, which I would interpret to mean that Track is no longer being cared for financially.

However this seems to be after Palin paid Track's legal fees and kept him from going to jail and receiving the kind of help that he desperately needs.

Instead she pulled strings to allow him to escape justice yet again, and now she and her family live in fear of what he might do next.

In some ways that seems like a kind of karma, but it is really too bad that others like Jordan and Britta Hanson have suffered due to their poor parenting.

Well it certainly appears that Mr. Loewe is not going to let a silly thing like a confidentially agreement keep him from telling the truth about that family of Wasillabillies.

Bristol Palin is now using Down Syndrome Day to promote her crappy weight loss product?

Family time with my favorite little guys as we celebrate this World Down Syndrome Day. I'm relying on my @teamiblends Energy tea to give me the energy I need to keep up with these two!

Wow, I think she has even outdone her grifting mother on this one. That is pretty damn low.

Speaking of low, as you may have heard the protective order against Track Palin has been dismissed and the case has been ordered confidential.

As for his child custody case with Jordan Loewe it appears that it has also been settled, and yes the court ordered it to remain confidential as well.

If you are wondering if there was some kind of pay off I think that would be a safe assumption, though it is unlikely that we will ever hear any details.

And finally yes Dakota did say in an online Facebook Q&A that he is moving to Austin, Texas, and yes it appears that Bristol and the kids are going as well.

That is all I know about this right now.

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.
