Former Gov. Sarah Palin on 'My Toughest Year So Far'

NEW YORK -- Two presidential campaigns ago, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin became a conservative superstar. Seven years later, the self-proclaimed "Mamma Grizzly" is calling 2015 one of the toughest years of her life.

"Some things happened that I haven't talked about publicly, things like getting canned from a job I really liked, sort of out of the blue, because I called somebody out," she said.

Palin was let go from her job as a Fox News political analyst in June. 

"Next morning I got word, 'Oh, we no longer need you anymore,'" she recalled. "Yeah, it was a shock, but more power to Fox News."

"They're a private enterprise," she continued. "They can fire someone for wearing the wrong color tie that day - that's their prerogative and I've been on both sides of the hiring and firing."

"They (Fox) still interview you?" CBN News' Wendy Griffith asked the former governor.

"Heck, yeah. I have a great relationship with them," she replied. "It was just kind of a little bit of a shocker of knowing that the 'haters' are going to love this one."

Then, the tabloids went into overdrive when the long-awaited marriage of her 25-year-old daughter Bristol didn't happen, even though she's pregnant with her ex-fiancé's baby.

The cancelled engagement was then followed by a cancer scare.

"Bristol said, 'Mom, you need to go into the doctor and get that thing checked," Palin recalled. "She insisted and I resisted so I finally went in to a doctor and got something checked, came back, biopsy - a cancer."

"Melanoma?" Griffith asked.

"Yeah, something like that," Palin said. "Anyway, a surgeon dug it out and everything was okay."

If she did not get confirmed, there’s always a recess appointment. Screw the Dems.

That’s true. Heck they did it. What is good for the goose and all.

Thanks PA Mom!!

I admire Sarah Palin’s attitude. She made it on her principles. Is bold and courageous in the face of vile rhetoric from haters.

If the next Republican president doesn't have her in his admin then shame on him

"Melanoma?" Griffith asked. "Yeah, something like that," Palin said. "Anyway, a surgeon dug it out and everything was okay."

Don't worry folks. My wife had the same thing this year. A precancerous Melanoma growth on her back. They "got it all" with clean margins, so a complete cure. I hope Sarah had the same result.

From the article:

"I meet with him (Trump) quite a bit, and I also speak with other candidates quite often. I'm so thankful that he's running," Palin replied.

There isn't a day goes by that I don't think of this at least once:

Sarah would bring the Judeo-Christian ethic back to Washington D.C. If we are to survive long term, this has to occur. Her role in this would be profound and priceless.

She also, of course, would lead the energy independence push and be an excellent role model for our young American women.

Boy, do I get tired of O’Reilly. He’s got a pretty good moral compass which is generally fixed - he’s an Irish Catholic, but his political and economic views are more like a ship tossed by the prevailing winds of the time. He answers his own questions to others and although he might have someone on to evaluate his comments, he’ll generally argue with them if they don’t agree with him.Yet he calls his show a “no spin zone.” A bit obnoxious. He does have the ability to laugh at himself, however, and I like that.

So although he has a fairly sharp moral sense, but he’s not sharp when it comes to the Constitution as the law of the land or the free market economy, without government interference, as the economic engine that drives a free society. He’s the kind of “conservative” who seems comfortable with the familiar and the status quo as long as it doesn’t offend his Catholic moral sense. Socialism seems to fly under his radar screen.

The unconstitutional Dept of Energy needs to be NUKED!

Put her in a VALID governmental function - I don’t know, maybe Secretary of State. Get the State Dept on the right track.

Put her in a VALID governmental function. As Secretary of State, she could get the State Dept on the right track.

Cruz, Trump’s VP. Eight years later, Cruz walks into the Presidency. Sixteen straight years of recovery for America.

[apocalypto]

I agree.

[catfish1957]

I’d view getting fired by Fox News as a Badge of Honor. Who needs to work for a GOP(e) mouthpiece anyway?

[Jim W N]

How do you know it was Megyn Kelly after she interviewed the Duggar girls?

Thanks Bratch.

Palin still lives in Alaska. That is her home base. She co-owns a place in Arizona.
