February 1st, 2016 • Congressman Steve King of Iowa accused Sarah Palin of "selling" her endorsement to Donald Trump. Asked by CNN's Jake Tapper to provide any evidence of the "explosive charge", King was unable to provide an answer.

My entire political worldview was shaped by 2008 and the whole ordeal Governor Palin had endured from then and until now. I was a student at the time she was governor, and by mistake came across a tiny article on the internet (in a non-political context) about the Governor of Alaska giving birth to a baby with Down Syndrome...I remember being so moved. I didn't even know what she looked like! Then I heard in some circles a week before McCain's announcement, that she was being considered for VP and I PRAYED and crossed my fingers it'd be her! (By...

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin wrote a fiery defense of Stephen K. Bannon, President-elect Donald Trump’s chief strategist and senior counselor, against false media accusations of racism and anti-Semitism. Palin took to her Facebook page Monday night to blast “the liberal lamestream lapdog media” for not getting “anything right in its coverage of the Trump Train.” “A latest press target is a man who’s been part of a team that just made history,” Palin wrote. “Trump campaign CEO, Steve Bannon, is particularly bright on the Leftist media’s radar because they can not handle the fact he’s also from their arena...

"Drill, baby, drill!” During her bid for vice president in 2008, that was Sarah Palin's crowd-pleasing chant promoting her energy policy. Now the pithy catchphrase – and the former Alaska governor herself – could make a comeback. News reports say Palin is on President-elect Donald Trump's short list to head the Interior Department. As secretary of the interior, she'd be in charge of overseeing oil drilling, uranium mining and other energy extraction on 500 million acres of public land, including iconic national parks like the Grand Canyon. The pro-mining policies Trump and Palin could be expected to bring to Interior...

On the day before President-elect Donald Trump came to Washington, D.C., to meet with President Obama, a list of the names of possible Trump cabinet choices and other key jobs was leaked to reporters. This being Washington and all, the list of names is undoubtedly a way to vet these choices in the court of public opinion before spending any political capital defending them. And, revealing the list also creates a sort of buzz around the campaign.

Conservative columnist George Will is often keen on saying that Barry Goldwater, the man who suffered one of the most catastrophic defeats in American political history, was actually the victor. Will often states that, “We — 27,178,188 of us — who voted for him in 1964 believe he won, it just took 16 years to count the votes.” Will is of course referring to the massive landslide which Ronald Reagan won in 1980, thus leading to a phenomenon known as the “Reagan Revolution.” Un-coincidentally, Goldwater gave Reagan his start in politics with the former’s failed presidential campaign. Reagan famously made...

President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is seriously discussing the possibility of giving former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin a cabinet position, Politico reported Wednesday. The Trump campaign is floating the idea of tapping the former Alaskan governor as Trump’s interior secretary. Palin has made no secret about her interest in holding a position in a Trump administration.

AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about the names that are being now talked about as a possible Trump Cabinet, (snip) GLENN GREENWALD: Amy, that question was some kind of form of torture that ought to be outlawed. I could barely withstand listening to that. You know, I think, honestly, my brain hasn’t yet processed all of that. I think most people’s brains haven’t. It’s still very—I remember last night, I was on Twitter, and I—someone linked to a tweet from Donald, which I clicked on. And in his biography, it now just says, very simply, "President-elect of the United States,"...

Flipping Michigan red is huge. It had been a blue state since 1988, so it was thrilling to see the numbers today. They deserve the best. Michigan really can be the “Comeback State.” I told people at my recent rallies there that they are blessed with every element of a perfectly positive storm that could, finally, rev up their state’s economy like they deserve: the natural resources, the industrial infrastructure, and most importantly the manpower and work ethic. And now, finally, Michigan has chosen a pro-private sector presidential candidate who knows how to create jobs. I’ve felt this way about...

Protesters threw beer and opened a can of pepper spray during a visit from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s (R) visit to the Town Pump Tavern in Detroit on Sunday night where she was slated to campaign for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and participate in an interview with Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly. . . . Shortly after Palin’s arrival at the Detroit bar, two men began to yell obscenities and anti-Trump rhetoric before they were removed by the owner. According to an eyewitness, a woman threw beer on the bar owner while he was walking the men out of...

Former governor of Alaska joins 'The O'Reilly Factor' to discuss the final days of election 2016. Watch Palin contend with abject pomposity and ego bloat.

Former half-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) appeared on Bill O'Reilly's Sunday night politics special to offer special insight into the presidential race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. "Well, if Trump wins, then America wins," said Palin, who was appearing via satellite from Detroit. (please see link for full article)

Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin will campaign for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump over the next several days in Michigan and North Carolina, and will join him on Election Night, according to NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent Kelly O’Donnell. .@SarahPalinUSA will campaign for @realDonaldTrump in Michigan & North Carolina and join him election night in NYC. — Kelly O’Donnell (@KellyO) November 4, 2016 In 2008, Palin wanted to campaign in Michigan through the final days, where some believed she could draw large amounts of support, but aides to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) refused to allow her to do so...

It was great to witness UNLV's Presidential debate tonight. Great running in to many friends! Trump ran the table and clearly explained his vision for making America safe and strong again. What a gamble it would be to vote for status quo failed government... more of the same of what dug us into the mess we're in today. Thank you to superb law enforcement personnel for keeping everyone safe tonight. Incredible job; incredibly tough task they accomplish - with a smile, no less! Seems silly media sheep are all chomping down on one issue after this debate, at least according...

NOTE: after seeing the YouTube, I could not resist contacting the two congresswomen. Maybe some of you would like to send them a fax with your opinion. FAX (202) 226-6890 Congresswoman Schakowsky: I saw the YouTube in which you refused to condemn Bill Maher for calling Sarah Palin a c*nt and dumb tw*t and for refusing to call on President Obama to return the $1 million that Maher gave to his SuperPac. Since it is apparently okay with you to use those demeaning and disgusting words against Governor Palin, I am going to presume that, if I wrote a parody...

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be attending the final debate in Las Vegas as Donald Trump’s guest, according to Politico. Palin endorsed Trump in Iowa ahead of the state’s caucuses. She did not attend the Republican National Convention in Ohio this summer because it was “a long ways away” from Alaska. President Obama’s half-brother Malik is also attending the debate as the Republican nominee’s guest. Patricia Smith, the mother of one of the Americans killed in Benghazi, and a former reporter who today leveled new sexual assault allegations against former President Bill Clinton will also be attendance.

WikiLeaks emails show reporter agreed to let Clinton campaign cut quotes before story ran. Hillary Clinton spent time in summer 2015 with The New York Times reporter Mark Leibovich and made a crack about 2008 Republican presidential candidate Sarah Palin. But the remark didn’t make it into the long profile. Leibovich agreed to give the Clinton campaign veto power over the statements she made. The revelation comes in Part III of a massive email release from WikiLeaks. Leibovich evidently gave the campaign the ability to ax quotes as part of a deal for access. Danielle Rhoades Ha, vice president of...

The New York Times allowed the Clinton Campaign to pick and choose what parts of an interview with Hillary Rodham Clinton would be used in an article titled, “Re-Re-Re-Reintroducing Hillary Clinton,” the Wikileaks release of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails have revealed. The Clinton campaign vetoed nearly the entire interview, but even in the portions they did approve for publication, they had Mark Leibovich edit out a mention of Sarah Palin, apparently at Hillary’s personal request. “My apologies for the delay. I finally had to get her in person,” Clinton Campaign Communication Director Jennifer Palmieri replies to Leibovich, implying...
