President Joe Biden took a swipe at his foe from 13-years-ago Friday as he celebrated the passage of the “American Rescue Plan.” In the Rose Garden with congressional Democrats, Biden said he may appoint Vice President Kamala Harris to implement the $1.9 trillion behemoth spending bill.

Alaska Republican Party officials are looking to former governor and Tea Party favorite Sarah Palin as a potential primary challenger to Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who has drawn their ire for her vote to convict former President Donald Trump in his latest impeachment trial. Of the seven Republican senators who voted to convict Mr. Trump, Ms. Murkowski is the only one up for reelection in 2022.

The Palin family is in mourning after Sarah Palin’s mother, Sarah "Sally" Heath, died. Heath passed away Tuesday at the age of 80, with her granddaughter and Palin's daughter, Bristol Palin, sharing the heartbreaking news in an emotional tribute shared with her more than 500,000 Instagram followers. Announcing her grandmother's death, Bristol shared a gallery containing two images, one of her tightly gripping her grandmother’s hand with a rosary and a second showing an underlined scripture passage. She said, "Heaven gained an angel yesterday as our dearest grandma sal passed away peacefully, and surrounded by her loved ones." Bristol described...

The legendary Sarah Palin has made a touching video calling for Julian Assange to be pardoned. Palin has been an unlikely supporter of the organization, as WikiLeaks published Palin’s own hacked emails during the 2008 election while she was a presidential candidate.“Hey this is Sarah Palin up in Alaska and I am the first one to admit when I make a mistake,” Palin begins in the video. “I made a mistake some years ago, not supporting Julian Assange — thinking that he was a bad guy, that he leaked material that perhaps he shouldn’t — and I’ve learned a lot...

During an appearance on Newsmax TV on Friday, former Gov. Sarah Palin reacted to a mention in former President Barack Obama’s forthcoming book, “A Promised Land.” “Through Palin, it seemed as if the dark spirits that had long been lurking on the edges of the modern Republican Party — xenophobia, anti-intellectualism, paranoid conspiracy theories, an antipathy toward brown and Black folks — were finding their way to center stage,” Obama wrote. After taking a jab at Obama for his book title, Palin pointed out that Obama seemed not to have left the 2008 campaign behind. “Well, first — I think...

Palin responded to comments in Obama's A Promised Land during a Friday evening interview with Newsmax. Both she and host Greg Kelly ridiculed Obama as "aloof and snobby as he's ever been" after he tied her to what he described as xenophobic and paranoid thinking that now dominates the Republican Party... ...Palin said Obama's depiction of her in his new book overlooks that she and the Tea Party movement at the time promoted diversity within the GOP, particularly the "Mama Grizzlies" embrace of conservative women. "It's the antithesis of what the left is acting out today. They're choosing people based...

Princess Diana's brother has accused the BBC of a 'whitewash' over faked bank statements said to have helped land a historic interview with her. In a devastating letter, Charles Spencer expressed his outrage at the institution's 'sheer dishonesty' and accused Martin Bashir, who secured the sensational interview for Panorama in 1995, of 'yellow journalism'. Earl Spencer also told director-general Tim Davie that Bashir showed him falsified bank accounts purporting to show – entirely wrongly – that two senior courtiers were being paid by the security services for information on his sister, in the hope it would win him an introduction...

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hinted at a possible run for Lisa Murkowski's Senate seat if the senator doesn’t support President Trump’s replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. "We sure hope that you have it within you to do the right thing this time,” Palin said to Murkowski in a series of Instagram videos posted this week. “So, you should walk back. We'll forgive you. If you can't do that, remember my house? I can see a lot of things from my house. ... Lisa, I can see 2022 from my house." "Lisa Murkowski, this is...

Former Governor Sarah Palin calls out Murkowski.

The Atlantic holds a special place in my heart. After years bloodied in the media meat grinder - but still resolutely standing - my thoughts on this week’s “news” to consider, considering the source: 1) Never, EVER trust anonymous sources. If someone doesn’t have the cojones to go “on the record” or provide hard facts, good chance they’re flat out lying. Cowards. 2) The Atlantic is the rag that led and pushed fake news that Trig is not actually my son. Deluded with their claim that I faked my pregnancy for political gain, this clan was obsessed with obtaining my...

Sarah Palin's defamation lawsuit against The New York Times is moving forward and headed to trial after a federal judge ruled Friday that a jury will decide whether the newspaper acted with "actual malice" when it published a false editorial pointing to Palin as the motivation behind the 2011 assassination attempt on former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.). What are the details? Palin sued The Times in 2017 over a piece that linked materials distributed by the former Alaskan governor's political action committee and the Tucson, Arizona, mass murder at a Giffords event that left six people dead and Giffords injured....

U.S. Judge Jed S. Rakoff, a Bill Clinton appointee, allowed Sarah Palin’s defamation lawsuit against the New York Times to proceed, saying that a jury should decide whether editorial page editor James Bennet acted with “actual malice” in writing that Palin was responsible for “political incitement” that led to the mass shooting in Tuscon, Arizona, in January 2011. The Times published the editorial in the wake of a June 2017 mass shooting by a deranged leftist who targeted Republican members of Congress at their baseball practice. The Tuscon shooter was mentally disturbed; accusations against Palin had long since been disproved....

Right after Joe Biden announced Kamala Harris as his 2020 running mate, Sarah Palin wrote a surprisingly gracious note of advice to the California senator on her Instagram page. But alas, the graciousness didn’t last for long. Appearing on Tucker Carlson’s show ahead of Harris’ speech on night three of the Democratic National Convention, Palin predicted that “the media” would treat the Democratic ticket like “delicate pieces of China” compared to the way she was treated in 2008 when she was running with John McCain on the Republican ticket.

President Donald Trump will withdraw the nomination of William Perry Pendley as director of the Bureau of Land Management in the face of criticism over Pendley’s anti-environmentalist views and advocacy for selling off federal lands. A White House official confirmed the news Saturday, a day after Outdoor Life broke the story. The decision is almost certainly influenced by the awkward position in which Pendley’s nomination put Republican Sens. Cory Gardner (Colo.) and Steve Daines (Mont.) ― two close Trump allies facing tough reelection bids. Both earned rare points with the conservation community with the passage of a major public lands...

Shortly before Joe Biden announced that his vice presidential pick was Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), a group of Democratic women released a letter, telling news organizations and journalists to avoid “racist” and “sexist” coverage of the candidate, among other things. Yet, the media broke most of those rules in reporting on John McCain’s vice-presidential pick Sarah Palin in 2008, writes NewsBusters’ Tim Graham. The recent letter urged the media to steer clear of “sexism” and “racism,” and to avoid commenting on Harris’ “ambition,” her relationship with staffers, her “tone of voice,” the way she dresses, and whether the California Democrat...

An august group of feminists -- including America's most audacious abortion advocates -- joined Valerie Jarrett, senior adviser to former President Barack Obama, to form the "We Have Her Back" coalition and lobby the media for "anti-sexist" coverage of the Democratic vice presidential selection. The establishment media received a list of don'ts: Don't question her attractiveness, her ambition, her experience, her likability, her electability or her qualifications. Kamala Harris can say thank you. But do Democrats really need to lobby fellow Democrats? We can engage in a two-minute laugh when we think about John McCain's unveiling of Sarah Palin as...

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin offered Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., some advice about running as a vice presidential nominee -- as the California Democrat becomes only the third woman ever to do so. “Congrats to the democrat VP pick,” Palin said in a post to Harris Tuesday. “Climb upon Geraldine Ferraro’s and my shoulders, and from the most amazing view in your life consider lessons we learned.”
