Exclusive: The next Palin baby drama - Jordan Loewe, Track Palin's former girlfriend, whom he assaulted, is pregnant with Track's child - UPDATES

Jordan Loewe and Track Palin: A rocky relationship

By Patrick

We need a new post, but the pure thought of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and their friends just makes me sick. I also don't know what to say about these sad individuals any more, who hopefully will fade into history after being resoundingly defeated by the US voters.

Thankfully, we have received very interesting news from Alaska. As you all know, we always had an excellent network there, and we had our fair share of scoops about the Palins since we started blogging. Today, we have the another scoop: From an extremely reliable source from Alaska we received the information that Jordan Loewe is pregnant with Track Palin's child.

This is a rather dramatic development after the complete breakdown of Jordan Loewe's relationship to Track Palin, following his brutal assault on her. 

Therefore the next Palin baby drama is on the horizon, and we can only hope that the whole affair won't be as "belligerent" as many of the other "Palin dramas" which we had to witness during the previous years.

This will also very likely be Sarah Palin's third "official" grandchild born out of wedlock (after Bristol's two children).

Track already has a daughter which his former wife Britta Hanson, with the marriage lasting just 18 months.

What is there more to say? Do we need to remind everybody that Track Palin not just assaulted Jordan Loewe (read the police report), but also played a notable role in the big Palin brawl from September 2014, where he also prominently "flipped the bird" to various guests.

Excerpt from police report about Track Palin's assault on Jordan Loewe

People Magazine reported in January 2016:

Authorities responded to multiple 911 calls at the Palin family home, where he and girlfriend Jordan Loewe told authorities they had fight, according to an affidavit obtained by KTVA Alaska.

Track was found with a visible injury to his right eye and smelled of alcohol, according to the report. He was "uncooperative, belligerent, and evasive," the reports says, and his blood alcohol level was 0.189 percent.

Loewe was later discovered hiding under a bed on the property, and told authorities that Track had punched her in the face and kicked her in the right knee. Loewe had "bruising and swelling around her left eye," according to the affidavit.

Loewe told officers that Track had also threatened to shoot himself with an AR-15 assault rifle.

In a statement to PEOPLE, Palin's family attorney John Tiemessen said: "We appreciate the press respecting the family's privacy as Track receives the help that he and many of our returning veterans need."

According to the court documents, Track remained in custody until an arraignment was held later that day when bail was set at $1,500.

Track is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 19, and again on March 24.

The U.S. Army veteran has had multiple other run-ins with the law dating back to 2007, mostly for traffic violations like speeding. Most of his charges are in Alaska, except for one traffic-related incident in Arizona.

In December of 2012, Track was back in court, this time filing for divorce from his high school sweetheart, who he was married to for one year.

Most recently, the entire Palin family was involved in an alleged backwoods brawl in late 2014, in which onlookers told PEOPLE that Bristol Palin repeatedly punched a man in the face. Another source told the media that Track had lost a tooth in the fight.

Jordan Loewe removed all photos of Track and her on Instagram after the incident.

Just as Donald Trump and Sarah Palin love to "flip the bird" to everyone who does not adore them and sing their poisoued tunes...

Well, that's it for today. There can apparently never be enough Palin baby dramas. What is Bristol doing these days, by the way? I do hope that she is a good girl.

In other news, the Palins apparently just "settled" their most recent "baby drama."

UPDATE:

The lastest: We were informed by our impeccable source in Alaska that Jordan Loewe and Track Palin are back together again. They separated for a few months after the assault incident.

Just for clarification: We do not know how far along Jordan Loewe is in her pregnancy.

UPDATE 2:

The latest developments in Track Palin's upcoming criminal trial: According to the Alaska Court Records, there is another pre-trial conference scheduled for the 10th May 2016, and then another "trial call" for the 25th May 2016.

Track is indicted on three counts, all "Class A Misdemeanors":

Charge one: Assault in the 4th degree - Reckless Injury

Charge two: Interfere with report of DV crime

Charge three: Possession of weapons while intoxicated

It remains to be seen what impact the "renewed" relationship between Track and Jordan as well as Jordan's pregnancy will have on the trial.

Springtime in Frankfurt - Open Post

By Patrick

We need a new post, but I am not really in the mood the write something about politics right now. We had beautiful weather today in Frankfurt, just the right weather to take some pictures. Spring has arrived, and I hope that my photos will "get you in the mood." 

I heard that in other parts of the world the weather is not great right now, but I do hope that we will all have a lovely summer in the end. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Ted Cruz defends the gay-haters: The demands by radical pastor Kevin Swanson, who wants the death penalty for "homosexuals", if they do not "repent", are part of "practising our faith"

Ted Cruz and insane person Kevin Swanson: "Kill the Gays" is part of their faith

By Patrick

While we and many others focused on Donald Trump during the recent months, there is of course somebody else we should be concerned about as well, and we certainly haven't forgotten about him: Senator Ted Cruz, who wants to become the President and the Ayatollah of the USA, and who wants to seriously transform the USA into a Christian fundamentalist country.

However, very often, Ted Cruz "is getting away" with his extreme religious views: He is a very experienced "talker", famous for his sharp debating skills which he successfully developed and practised as a student. Therefore, it is not often the case that he is "caught in the act", as he often manages to hide his real views with polished language, and he certainly is also an expert when it comes to avoiding tough questions. These are the skills which eventually might earn him the Republican nomination, considering that Donald Trump is currently on the verge of self-destruction.

But if you take a closer look, it is pretty easy to discover what "faith" really means to Ted Cruz. It is apparent that Ted Cruz's "faith" includes the right to hate, oppress and even kill others. In this respect, he is no different from radical Islamists, who believe the same, just the other way round.

If one is looking for a good case to highlight Ted Cruz's extremism, his relationship to insane preacher Kevin Swanson is the ideal case study.

Kevin Swanson is a pastor radio braodcaster from Colorado, who hosted an anti-gay "religious liberty" conference in November 2015 in Des Moines, Iowa, and three of the featured guests of this conference were: Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, and Ted Cruz.

But words are not enough to explain the vulgarity of this event. "Anti-gay" is not a term which shocks people any more. What Kevin Swanson said during this conference really needs to be seen in order to be believed.

Samantha Bee thankfully published a summary, which is a good starter - this is a must-see clip, also great for sharing:

Yes, Kevin Swanson said a lot of very inflammatory and very dangerous things during this conference, as well as other crazy things. This man clearly is insane. The fact that people like him have the influence to be visited by "high ranking guests" like Ted Cruz is just beyond belief. Many Americans might be frightened by "Muslims", but there is much more reason to be frightened by Christian extremists in their own country, like Kevin Swanson.

Just watch this - CLIP 1:

CLIP 3:

At this conference, Ted Cruz comes on stage and is being greeted by Kevin Swanson, who then starts a "Q & A" session with him.

WATCH:

Rachel Maddow showed a report about this event:

"The Young Turks" also had a very good report:

"Bonus" clip, not related to this conference - according to Kevin Swanson, the Girl Scouts turn children into lesbians:



Now comes the really interesting part, which exposes Ted Cruz for the evil person he truly is:

Ted Cruz was a few days later asked by CNN about the fact that he attended this anti-gay conference, and the presenter asked Ted Cruz whether he "endorsed conservative intolerance."

So how did Ted Cruz respond? Did he actually admit that it was possibly wrong to execute gays, and that these people like Kevin Swanson were "intolerant"...?

No, that's not how Ted Cruz responded.

As mentioned above, Ted Cruz is a highly skilled debater. That clearly was an inconvenient question by CNN, although also a fully justified question. So Cruz decided to unlock his arsenal of debate weapons, and gave the following reaction:

1. First response: Ignore the question.
2. Ted Cruz "doesn't know what the gentleman (Kevin Swanson) has said or hasn't said."
3. Then he goes straight to the issue of "religious liberty", which has been his"passion" for "decades." Also, under the Obama-adminstration, there has been an "assault on religious liberty from the Federal government", and so on.

WATCH:

So Ted Cruz did not even try to defend himself in this interview, which he gave several days after the conference. He skillfully deflected the question, and clearly was not concerned at all to have attended an event which celebrated religious hate. He also did not bother to answer the question whether people like Kevin Swanson are "intolerant."

I get the impression that Ted Cruz believes that only those people who disturb him in hating others are "intolerant."

While this gay-hating conference was just "talk" and does not have immediate consequences on US politics, people in other parts of the world are not that lucky. For example, Kevin Swanson and his fellow gay-haters are active supporters of anti-gay legislation in Africa, for example in Uganda. This legislation, which includes life imprionment and the death penalty for gays, has been defended by Kevin Swanson, as should come as no surprise for anyone who watched the clips I posted above.

Fortunately, the latest development, the "Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Act" from 2014 had been ruled invalided by the Constitutional Court of Uganda, and it seems that it won't be re-introduced.

The sad thing is that in other parts of the Western World, a politician who attended such a gay-hating conference would never ever be invited again by any TV-network, and would never be taken seriously again. He or she would be a "persona non grata", and would be close to prosecution for hate crimes. However, in the USA, it remains a very sad fact that this person could very well be the next candidate for US president of one of the two main political parties - and his rival in this race is a celebrated racist and bully.

There is a "postscript" to this report, because several months later, in February 2016, Ted Cruz's suddenly said that it was a "mistake" to attend the gay-hating conference in November 2015.

A "mistake"...!

Don't worry, Ted, hardly anyone noticed.

Have a good weekend, everybody!

UPDATE:

I just saw that Ted Cruz's father, Rafael Cruz, was a speaker that this 2015 "National Religious Liberty Conference" as well, which makes Ted's assertion that it was a "mistake" to attend this conference even more ridiculous. They knew very well who they were associated with!

However, video from the conference is hard to find apart from the clips which were posted by "Right Wing Watch" on the internet.

UPDATE 2:

"Right Wing Watch" just posted yesterday about another one of Ted Cruz's crazy "pastors", with lots of frightening info:

+++

UPDATE 3:

Today (April 12, 2016), "Ring Wing Watch" published an unexpected update on the story regarding Kevin Swanson's "National Religious Liberty Conference." 

Just yesterday, Ted Cruz was confronted in a radio show, the "John and Ken Show", about his appearance at the conference. Cruz then denied that he agrees with Kevin Swanson's views, and claimed that he "denounced them at the time." This is of course a bold lie, and "Right Wing Watch" correctly states that Ted Cruz now wants to rewrite history.
