Explanation for this emoticon

By Patrick

Yes, here we are again, it's again about Bristol and Dakota. It is not "drama", because it is "drama drama drama" in this custody battle which is already off to a very rocky start.

The "Daily Mail" reports today that Dakota Meyer not only filed for custody for baby Sailor Grace in Alaska, but he also filed for custody in Kentucky, in the Adair District Court, on December 29, 2015. This means two things: First, Dakota Meyer is absolutely serious about this case, and second, the additional filing Kentucky might give him an advantage.

But there is more: The court in Kentucky has already decided that the "action is pending" in order to establish paternity."

Screenshot:

So it is clear that paternity has to be established, one way or the other. There are actually several possibilities to establish paternity in Kentucky, as this website explains.

Excerpt:

How To Establish Paternity

There are two basic paths that unmarried couples with a baby can take to establish paternity: the parents can sign a voluntary acknowledgement of paternity (VAP), or the question of paternity can be adjudicated (decided) by a judge of district court after someone files a paternity lawsuit.

Using the VAP form

The first way, which also happens to be simplest, is that the parents can choose to sign a VAP form. The VAP process is managed by the Kentucky Paternity Acknowledgement Program (KYPAP). When you go to the hospital or birthing facility to deliver your baby, the medical staff will give you the VAP. Staffers can also provide you with informational materials and help if you have questions. They can’t answer legal questions, but can make sure you’re directed to someone else who can offer help.

Both parents should read the VAP and, if they understand it and agree with it, both should sign and date it in the presence of a notary public (a professional witness registered with the State of Kentucky). The hospital or birthing center will have a notary public on staff and available to help you. The father’s name will then be added to the birth certificate, and the hospital or birthing center will send the birth certificate to the local Health Department. The Health Department will in turn send the certificate to the Kentucky Office of Vital Statistics.

The VAP form is usually signed in the hospital, after the baby’s birth, but it can be signed outside the hospital, too. The forms you’ll need are available at your local registrar’s office. The registrar can also answer questions, notarize the paperwork, and forward the forms to Vital Statistics.

Parents always have the initial right to demand genetic testing to make sure there’s a DNA link between the father and the child. If parents aren’t sure about the biological paternity of a child, they should go to the local child support office in the county where the mother lives and ask for assistance in obtaining genetic testing to establish a DNA link between the parents and child. They shouldn’t sign a VAP if they have any doubts.

By signing the VAP, the parents are agreeing that the father is the biological father. The father agrees that he may become responsible for paying child support and medical insurance expenses (possibly including “costs of confinement,” which mean the prenatal medical and birth expenses incurred by the mother). The father also acknowledges that he doesn’t have custody or visitation rights simply because he signed the VAP. However, by signing the VAP, he has earned the opportunity to go to court and ask a judge to give him custody and visitation rights.

So that will be interesting, as Bristol Palin has only two choices, which are evidently both very inconvenient for her: Either establish paternity voluntarily, or be forced to take a DNA-test. Either Dakota is the father, which would give him rights, or he is not the father, which would be the most embarrassing thing ever for the Palins, and would even eclipse the infamous "Palin-brawl" in Anchorage.

But why would Bristol Palin have a problem with establishing Dakota Meyer as the father?

The answer is simple: Bristol Palin obviously hates Dakota Meyer.

The exact reasons for her hate are still unknown, but despite the fact that Bristol should know better, she has no problem with expressing her hate in public, already at this early point. It is not only her rather infamous mother Sarah Palin who already slammed Dakota Meyer in public...

...but Bristol Palin herself cannot help it either. Very recently, on her Instagram, where she has the username "bsmp2", Bristol openly "applauded" one of her fans, who said:

rosalyn1229 Count your blessing with gunfire, that you never married that scum of an ex. Medal of Honor my eye....... Medal of Moocher more fitting!

The symbol with the raised hands has a very straightforward definition:

So, if it already starts like this, then it is guaranteed that we will see much more of the same in the future, because the Palins are not exactly known for keeping their mouths shut.

For the record, Dakota Meyer's family is also not happy. The "Daily Mail" reports:

Now Meyer's family have told Daily Mail Online they are 'hurt' over the doubt that has been cast and insisted that Meyer 'has a right to that child', whose birth Palin announced on December 24.

Speaking from the family home in Greensburg, Kentucky, Meyer's grandmother, Jean, 85, said: 'It happens every day that a mother tries to keep a child from the father and you just have to deal with it.

'But I would say it does hurt [to have to prove paternity]. But that's just the way the law is – you have to get permission here and permission there.

'I really think Dakota will do the right thing and I think he has a right to that child.'

Referring to Bristol, Jean said: 'I've met her but I don't really know her. But I helped raise Dakota and I do know him. He's a strong young man and a good one.'

She added: 'He will be a father to his child and he'll be a good one he's just got to get this girl and the law to agree.'

The "Daily Mail" also posted the first page of the legal document filed in Alaska by Dakota Meyer's lawyer, which is the first time I have seen it:

The most interesting quote in there:

"Meyer believes that he is the biological father 

of the minor child."

Personally, I am not so sure what to "believe".

In any case, the custody battle will continue, with lots of "drama drama drama."

UPDATE:

Great find by our reader "greenandgreens": Bristol Palin confirmed on her Instagram that Dakota Meyer has never met the baby Sailor Grace!

Oh yes, I forgot: Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer, who made it clear through his custody lawsuit that he wants to be a part of the child's life, is OBVIOUSLY a deadbeat dead. Why should he given the opportunity meet the baby...

But seriously: The Palin-family has a long history of trying to shut out fathers from their children, in particular Levi Johnston and Trooper Mike Wooten.

Screenshots from Bristol's Instagram:

The Palin-family has an atrocious track record when it comes to custody trials.

After Sarah Palin became the Republican nominee for Vice President, the media discovered court records which put members of the Palin-family, and Sarah Palin in particular, in an awful light - as well as their lawyers. A judge went so far as too severely criticize the members of the Palin-family for their terrible behaviour during the trial.

Newsweek reported in September 2008:

An Anchorage judge three years ago warned Sarah Palin and members of her family to stop "disparaging" the reputation of Alaska State Trooper Michael Wooten, who at the time was undergoing a bitter separation and divorce from Palin's sister Molly.

Allegations that Palin, her husband Todd, and at least one top gubernatorial aide continued to vilify Wooten—after Palin became Alaska's governor and pressured state police officials to take action against him—are at the center of "Troopergate," a political and ethical controversy which has embroiled Palin's administration and is currently the subject of an official inquiry by a special investigator hired by the state legislature.

Court records obtained by NEWSWEEK show that during the course of divorce hearings three years ago, Judge John Suddock heard testimony from an official of the Alaska State Troopers' union about how Sarah Palin—then a private citizen—and members of her family, including her father and daughter, lodged up to a dozen complaints against Wooten with the state police. The union official told the judge that he had never before been asked to appear as a divorce-case witness, that the union believed family complaints against Wooten were "not job-related," and that Wooten was being "harassed" by Palin and other family members.

Court documents show that Judge Suddock was disturbed by the alleged attacks by Palin and her family members on Wooten's behavior and character. "Disparaging will not be tolerated—it is a form of child abuse," the judge told a settlement hearing in October 2005, according to typed notes of the proceedings. The judge added: "Relatives cannot disparage either. If occurs [sic] the parent needs to set boundaries for their relatives."

(...)

In a press release issued last week by her new lawyer, Palin continued to attack the character of Wooten—still serving as a state trooper in Palin's hometown of Wasilla. The release repeats allegations that Wooten had threatened members of her family, including her father, with violence; that Wooten had threatened to "bring" Palin and members of her family "down;" and that Wooten had once been the subject of a court-imposed domestic-violence protection order. A court filing by Wooten's lawyer indicates that within months of being issued, the violence protection order was dismissed.

There was a court-imposed domestic-violence protection order against Wooten in place, Sarah Palin's lawyer claimed in September 2008?

A very bold claim indeed! We at Politicalgates reported about this particular chapter of Sarah Palin's history already in a detailed post from June 2012. It turned out that the judge dissolved the order immediately after he discovered that he had been lied to, and even scolded Sarah Palin's sister Molly for keeping Wooten's kids away from him.

This was explained in detail in an old post by (former) Alaskan blogger Andrew Halcro, which is still available today via the Wayback Machine:

In a statement released on September 2 through her attorney Thomas Van Flein, Palin once again shows how her propensity for a misrepresentation of the facts got her into trouble to begin with.

Palin is attempting to get the investigation moved into the executive branch so it is reviewed by the personnel board.

In her statement, Palin writes, "In 2005 and early 2006, State Trooper Mike Wooten was the subject of a court-imposed Domestic Violence Protective Order."

As has been the governor's history with this issue, she offers up another twisted fact.

In 2005, Palin and her sister Molly went to the Palmer Courthouse while Mike Wooten was in Portland with his stepson. They convinced a judge to grant Molly a domestic violence restraining order against Wooten. This was done so Molly could retain full custody of the children.

When Wooten returned from Portland, he realized that there was a order prohibiting him from seeing his kids. Three weeks later, Wooten was granted an appearance in front of the couple's divorce judge.

In front of Judge Suddock, Molly testified that Wooten never hit her or never physically abused her or ever touched the children. She told the judge she was feeling pressure from her family to file the order.

Suddock immediately dissolved the order because there was no proof of any domestic violence and called the order an abuse of the legal system. He then scolded Palin's sister for keeping Wooten's kids away from him.

This appears to be Palin's classic approach to deflecting attention away from situations she has created; blame the other person.

Money quote:

"In front of Judge Suddock, Molly testified that Wooten never hit her or never physically abused her or ever touched the children. She told the judge she was feeling pressure from her family to file the order."

This should give Dakota Meyer something to think about.

The inevitable drama, here it comes: Dakota Meyer files custody suit against Bristol Palin and wants joint custody for daughter Sailor Grace as well as child support - UPDATE: Dakota Meyer's lawyer clarifies that he does not seek child support at this point

That will teach Sarah Palin not to wag her finger in Dakota Meyers face...

By Patrick

Drama, here we come! Did we predict it, or did we not?

"TMZ" has the scoop and reports that Dakota Meyer filed a lawsuit against Bristol Palin, demanding  joint custody for their daughter Sailor Grace, and Dakota Meyer is asking for child support as well!

Unfortunately, "TMZ" did not make the legal documents available to the public, but from the Alaska Court Records we can see Dakota Meyer filed the custody case yesterday, on January 4, 2016 (click on "Search Cases" and then search for Dakota Meyer's name, but be aware that there is actually another "Dakota Meyer" living in Alaska).

Click on screenshot to enlarge:

This is now already the third custody case for Bristol Palin. She fought two heated custody battles against Levi Johnston, and the second custody case finally ended in a confidential settlement, apparently to the satisfaction of both parties.

See our extensive reporting about the second custody case against Levi Johnston here, here, here, here and here, with many original documents from the trial exclusively published here at Politicalgates. Levi Johnston had to endure relentless attacks coming from Bristol Palin's lawyer against him.

However, Dakota Meyer is not just anybody. He is a Medal of Honor recipient, a public figure as well as a military hero for many conservatives, and he surely is not taking any garbage coming from the Palin-clan. So it will be interesting what will happen during the custody trial, as well as in public, because the tabloids will now surely be all over this matter.

I could not find the original court documents, although "TMZ" claimed that they obtained the documents. If you find a link to the documents, please post it in the comments.

Yes, Sarah Palin should have thought twice before she wagged her finger in Dakota Meyer's face!

This is a "lose-lose situation" for the Palins, but we are not surprised about this development at all.

+++

UPDATE:

Dakota Meyer's lawyer released a statement and said that the inital reports about Dakota seeking child support were false (this now disputed fact was originally reported by "TMZ", who broke the story about the custody suit).

AP reports:

Dakota Meyer filed a lawsuit against Bristol Palin in Alaska Superior Court on Monday seeking joint custody of their child, Sailor Grace Palin. The child was born Dec. 23.

"Dakota couldn't be more excited to be a new father and the best dad that he can be," his lawyer, Kimberlee Colbo, said in an email to The Associated Press.

"To him, that means being a big part of his daughter's life. Beyond that, he'd really appreciate and thank his friends, supporters and the news media for respecting the privacy of each family in this very personal matter," Colbo said.

Attempts to reach a spokesman for Bristol Palin, who competed twice on "Dancing with the Stars" and had her own reality show on cable, weren't immediately successful. The Palin family lawyer declined to comment.

Meyer, a former Marine living in Greensburg, Kentucky, was engaged to Palin, but the wedding was abruptly called off a week before it was to take place last May.

Meyer is seeking joint custody and shared physical custody of the child, and the court could decide child support.

"At this point, no one is seeking child support," Colbo said.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! - The first "hot topic" of 2016 has already arrived: A new Palin baby-mystery!

By Patrick

Happy New Year, everybody! We hope it will be a good one! It certainly will be an eventful one!

Kathleen and I have a relaxed, happy time with family this year, and this is exactly what we needed. I had a stressful year (as usual) and need to re-charge my batteries. I also like the time between Christmas and New Year because it is a time for reflection.

Reflecting on 2015, there is of course one topic which in our view was pretty special. It was a "baby mystery" which a very long time ago, in 2008,  brought us into the "world of blogging." Times were different back then, as Sarah Palin in 2008 was a rising star, with a seemingly bright future ahead of her. Kathleen and I quickly realized that Sarah Palin was, amongst many other unpleasant things, a huge fraud. In the years following 2008, Sarah Palin's various secrets kept us and other bloggers busy.

These days, her secrets have become less relevant, as Sarah Palin has virtually disappeared from the political scene. She still tries to insert herself into the discussion now and then, usually with catchy "red meat buzzwords", but the media has finally decided to largely ignore her. Which is good news. We also no longer want to give her too much attention , as she does not deserve it, no matter how much she craves it. While it is disappointing that Sarah Palin has never been properly exposed in the mainstream for the fraud that she really is, we can take comfort in the fact that behind the scenes, many people are not as "uninformed" as it might seem to the public, and this definitely has contributed hugely to her downfall.

It is rather surprising that a new "Palin baby mystery" has emerged with "Sailor Grace", although the circumstances are of course different, and Bristol Palin will never be even remotely as important as her mother Sarah actually might have been at some point. Still, it is relevant enough to discuss it here.

In many ways, the miraculous birth of "Sailor Grace", who we hope will have a happy and fulfilled life, is quite similar to several other "Palin secrets", in such that it is for example actually quite hard to ascertain what actually happened. Although the whole thing happened under the spotlight of the national as well as international press, the public has received little enlightenment regarding the circumstances so far.

We do know that a baby named "Sailor Grace" was born, apparently on December 23, 2015. I personally have no doubt at this point that this is real date of birth. But from this point onwards, very little is certain.

First of all, who is her father? Bristol's ex-fiance, Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer apparently "claimed" the baby in a curiously worded facebook post, which leaves many more open questions.

Or didn't he? The media seems undecided about this point.

While for example "Radar Online" came out with this rather sensational headline, which by the way is based on the same very sketchy information that everybody else has as well....

...other media outlets were not really convinced whether the question of the parentage was really settled once and for all:

Then there were other outlets who correctly noted that Bristol Palin herself so far has never said a word about the identity of the father:

So the confusion is complete, and there are still so many open questions that I do not even know where to begin.

First of all, Dakota Meyer himself has not mentioned Bristol in his facebook post. Just as Bristol obviously crossed Dakota out from the list of people who are worth mentioning at all, Dakota himself also did not deem it necessary to mention Bristol. Well, they are only supposed to have a child together...so why mention each other, LOL! Can anyone think of a worse start?

So the questions begin: Why on earth have Bristol and Dakota not mentioned each other in their postings? Why did Dakota publish his more or less cryptic facebook post, declaring the baby was the "best Christmas present ever", but otherwise seems absolutely disinterested in the whole affair as well as in the baby, just like he did during the whole pregnancy?

Also, is he really absolutely certain that it is his baby? Or does he merely "believe" that he is the father?

The questions go on and on. Absolutely nothing really fits together. Also, if it is Dakota's baby, he should better make sure that he can exercise his parental rights, as the Palins are notorious for trying to exclude unwanted fathers from her family. Their efforts to destroy Trooper Mike Wooten even made history, and Levi Johnston also was their punching-ball for several years, until he got the right lawyer and finally put up a real fight for his child.

So what is our take on all this? After all, we have the benefit of having carefully examined many "private scandals" of the Palins of the past, having received inside knowledge on several occasions, and we also experienced the events of the previous years pretty much from a "front-seat-perspective."

The typical "Palin-scandal" does not happen in the same way as many other scandals. The typical "Palin-scandal" is riddled with facts and events which are hardly believable for anyone who leads a pretty normal life. One of the main reasons that the Palins have never been properly exposed is the fact that their actions are often so unbelievable that they really do defy belief. In public, however, the Palins stress on every given opportunity what a totally normal and happy family they are.

We for example spent several years trying to convince the public as well as the media that Sarah Palin faked her pregnancy with Trig, and although the evidence is there and many people for example in Alaska are also well aware of the truth, Sarah Palin is still "officially" considered to be the biological mother of Trig. It is in Wikipedia, so it has be true. One of the main reasons (not the only reason, however): The truth is so outrageous that the truth is virtually impossible to believe. It is the well-know, tested and tried "Big Lie Theory" in action. ("Make a claim that is so outrageous that people will assume that it cannot be a lie, and so accept it as truth. Strongly assert the lie. Massage available data to 'prove' the lie as being true.)

This is a "recurring theme" as far as Palin-scandals are concerned. Another "recurring-theme" is that the available facts are often sketchy - on purpose. Because the more facts one knows, the more questions one can ask, the more conclusions are possible. This became evident again after the "Palin-brawl" from September 2014, when the Palins for weeks kept quiet about the issue, apparently in the hope that the whole affair will simply blow over. Only after incriminating witness statements were published did the Palins start to make public statements about what happened during the brawl, painting themselves as victims, as usual, despite the fact that all the statements by independent witnesses dispute their version of events.

Do we know the truth about  "Sailor Grace"...? I have some strong suspicions, however, I cannot claim for definite that I know the truth. Some of you will remember that the source who originally provided the information leading to the discovery of Dakota Meyer's "secret marriage" (another unexplained mystery with many open questions) at some point posted very specific information about an apparent "arrangement" between Bristol and Dakota in regards to the planned marriage. The source claimed that Dakota is not the biological father of "Sailor Grace", but that Bristol got pregnant by another man. Shortly after posting, the source deleted the comments.

We have no real doubts about the "credibility" of the source in general, however, whether this specific information was true or not, we cannot say for certain. Everyone can make up his or her own mind, and we certainly won't spend the next years trying to find the truth, as the Palins have been relegated to being "tabloid fodder" these days.. Also, I would expect that the truth will eventually come to light, as these events are not confined to the "inner circle" of the Palin-family, like was the case with Sarah's faked pregnancy, where only a tiny handful of people know the full truth.

One thing we know for certain: If there is a Palin-baby born out of wedlock, there will be drama. Lots of drama. The fact that Bristol and Dakota already do not even mention each other any more already points to the fact that there probably will be many more tabloid-headlines ahead.

So much for reflection. Ahead of us is the year 2016, possibly with more political drama then our weak hearts will be able to bear, LOL! So let's raise our glasses, and let's make sure that our glass is always half-full, and not half-empty! It is just much healthier that way.

Bristol Palin's idea of "privacy": Insulting and even threatening other people on Instagram, family members then join her - Not a good start into your new pregnancy, Bristol! - UPDATE: Bristol's publishes new post, claiming that the pregnancy was "planned", also denying that she ever was paid as an "abstinence spokesperson" - On Instagram, she called her critics "fuckers", in her new post, her critics are "giddy a$$holes"...!

By Patrick

Oh well, there we have it, another Palin-related post. Inevitable, it seems. In the announcement of her latest pregnancy, which was published on her blog only three days ago, Bristol Palin herself demanded:

"But please respect Tripp’s and my privacy during this time. I do not want any lectures and I do not want any sympathy."

Look, Bristol, go and have you "privacy"...! But please don't confuse it with "let's post new photos of Tripp and then insult and threaten other people on Instagram", OK? This is really getting embarrassing. Bristol, is there really nobody at all who can give you some proper advice?

So Bristol put a new photo of Tripp on Instagram, and other people then started to insult her, which was pretty predictable, given the fact that Bristol is now regarded as the national poster-girl for the failure of abstinence-only-education, and as a poster-girl for right-wing hypocrisy. Especially since she herself enjoyed to lecturing "liberals" on her blog on an almost weekly basis.

Instead of not going on social media in the first place, which clearly would have been the better choice, Bristol then started to get into a shouting match on Instagram, exchanging insults, and even started to threaten a commenter, "Wasilla-style."

Screenshots (Bristol Palin is "bsmp2"):

It all started when some commenters began to write insults - Bristol quickly let the world know that she is not giving "many fks":

To the commenter "pink_evolution", who also wrote very unfriendly comments, Bristol quickly responded that she "would love to meet you in person", then calling her critics "fuckers":

Followed by:

Then "its_yours_03" also contributed, called the commenter "pink_evolution" a "cunt", which is interesting because "its_yours_03" is Bristol's cousin Ryan Bender, and Bristol then apparently liked this remark:

"pink_evolution" then continued:

To which Bristol replied, apparently imagining that she is in some kind of bar-fight:

The commenter "pink_evolution" then responded:

Meanwhile, some people desperately tried to give Bristol some good advice:

Finally, Bristol "got it":

"Haha" indeed, Bristol...

More like "WTF", actually.

Bristol's little sister Piper (piper.p) also joined and liked the nasty jokes about "pink_evolution":

It is also noteworthy that Bristol's cousin Ryan Bender had this good (?) idea:

I guess he was talking about the famous "Mugshot Saloon" in Wasilla, which is actually just round the corner of Sarah Palin's house, and from our friends in Alaska we heard that Track Palin used to be a frequent customer there as well.

It is unclear why Ryan thinks that they would need a designated driver...given the fact that Bristol is pregnant.

Picture (that's "real Wasilla" for you, folks):

Family picture with Bristol's cousin Ryan Bender on the right (from Willow's Instagram):

The commenter "pink_evolution" was not very pleased about being attacked by Bristol in this way:

In any case, Bristol, with Instagram-fights, it is just the same as with bar fights, or with brawls: Just avoid them like the plague!

Especially if you are a national public figure.

Already yesterday, Bristol thought that it would be a good idea to give a hearty "screw you" to the readers via Instagram (at least that's how I interpreted her attempt to use sign language):

Well, it can only get better from now on...I hope.

#NotAGoodStartIntoThePregnancyDearBristol

Also, when do we finally hear from Granny Sarah a word about the new pregnancy?

The question will be, as always with the Palins: Who will be the victim, and why?

+++

UDPATE (Sunday 28, 11.30 EST):

Bristol just put a new post up, and guess what: The pregnancy was planned, according to Bristol. That does not change the fact that she had sex before marriage. Whatever! It sounds so much better now.

Yes, we did not have to wait very long to learn who the victim is!

Bristol tells us in her post that she is unfairly judged, by "giddy a$$holes", thus claiming victimhood That didn't take her long.

Quote:

So here are the things you should all get straight before you continue to mock me, judge me, and talk about me.

None of us are perfect.

I made a mistake, but it’s not the mistake all these giddy a$$holes have loved to assume.

This pregnancy was actually planned.

Everyone knows I wanted more kids, to have a bigger family. Believing I was heading that way, I got ahead of myself. Things didn’t go as planned, but life keeps going. Life moves on.

OK, Bristol, we see that you don't like to be "judged"...! Tough on your part, but you will have to deal with it, as you judge other people and their lifestyle choices (the evil "liberals") on your blog on a virtually weekly basis (as I already mentioned above).

Good overview about your lectures at "Slate":

Therefore it is easy to understand why these "giddy a$$holes" criticize you, is it not?

Also, you are making it just worse. Oh, you were "never paid as an abstinence spokesperson" in the past? Really?

Quote from your post:

Let’s get another thing straight, because I can’t tolerate all the talk on this subject. I have never been paid as an “abstinence spokesperson.” I was employed by the great people at The Candies Foundation.

Well, do you and/or your ghostwriter Nancy French really believes that absolutely everyone else is a complete idiot? Do you really believe that?

Do you know that there is Google, and Youtube? Do you think that you can just erase the fact that you received AT THE VERY LEAST $ 262,500 for being an abstinence spokesperson? Actually, it was much, much more money.

The original documentation:

What follows are some clips to refresh the memory.

CLIP 1:

CLIP 2:

CLIP 3:

CLIP 4:

Finally, here is a really good clip with Keith Olbermann from 2009:

The list could go on and on.

What we have here is a clear case of "Sarah-Syndrome": Happily being a public person and becoming stinking rich in the process, but then totally unwilling to accept fully deserved criticism, and instead starting to viciously attack all the critics.

Also, as some of our readers already pointed out, there is a huge logical error in your two post about your new pregnancy. In your first post, you said that the news of the pregnancy will come as "a huge disappointment to my family, to my close friends, and to many of you"...

But how can it be a "huge disappointment", if the pregnancy was planned, as you now claim? You do realize that this narrative does not fit together, right?

Consequently, in direct contradiction of your previous statement, you now claim: "This baby is not a disappointment."

Next time, you should really get your story straight right from the beginning.

Finally, for the sake of not insulting the intelligence of other human beings, stop lecturing other people for a while, will you. Maybe try to understand why other people, these "fuckers" and "giddy a$$holes" are pretty upset by your pompous behavior in the first place. One can hope!

UDPATE 2:

Rebecca Schoenkopf wrote a wonderful new post at Wonkette, and linked to us! Many thanks!

The weekend of the posers: While Sarah Palin "celebrates life" with Dakota Meyer in Kentucky, Bristol Palin spends a "getaway weekend" with her best friend, aspiring "exotic model" Marina Lupas, and they all like the world to know what they are doing! - UPDATE: The Daily Mail has the scoop with photos from the "re-branded" wedding/BBQ!

By Patrick

This is going to be a nice juicy post, and despite the fact that it contains "private pictures", there will be no invasion of privacy for the simple reason that all participants have been way too happy to let us know what they are doing by purposefully making their photos available to the whole world via the internet.

I am writing this post while I am simultaneously watching an absolutely beautiful documentary on TV about Yellowstone National Park. Who says that men are not able to multitask!

OK, so we have a famous family here, the Palin-family, who desperately needs to pretend in public that they are a conservative, God-fearing family. We know all about it, as we watched these people for years and also know quite a lot of their many, many secrets. While the interest of the public has waned considerably over the years, the Palins still know how to earn a buck. Sometimes, however, things don't go as planned.

Bristol and Sarah thought they they could get themselves a glittery, shining military medal, but they would soon learn that they had forgotten to "vet" the "vet." It was the bloggers who took the time to take a closer look at Dakota Meyer, and with the help of their readers discovered that Dakota not only had another girl-friend right up until December 2014, but that he also had a "secret wife", which he had hidden from the public and also had purged from his autobiography.

So the wedding was cancelled, the relationship between Bristol and Dakota looks like it is over, but in a desperate attempt to save face, Sarah Palin announced that the the families still want to "celebrate life" together in Kentucky on Saturday, May 23.

Sarah Palin, not wanting to upset the military community (which is supposedly her main "core fan base", and therefore invaluable) actually visited Kentucky yesterday. It was our impression that the Palins had possibly sold the wedding to "People Magazine", but surprise, Fox News has apparently stepped in:

Fox News correspondent Rick Leventhal tweeted from the event:

Rick Leventhal apparently forgot to add "Big fat liar" to his description in the above tweet...

In any case, all we can see are Sarah, Dakota and a pretty empty tent.

So where is Bristol?

In an almost comical twist, Bristol Palin is very keen to let the world know that she "celebrates life" on a "getaway weekend" in Alaska - together with her new best friend, the "exotic (erotic) model" Marina Lupas, who has quite aggressively marketed herself across the internet.

Bristol also posted some photos of the trip on instagram.

At this time Tripp is staying with his father Levi Johnston, and his wife Sunny. Tripp is having a great time with his father, as usual.

Marina Lupas and Bristol Palin have been friends for a long time, as has been documented through many photos that each of them has posted on the internet.

However, Marina's profession may raise some eyebrows. She markets herself as an "exotic model" on the internet, and her public photos leave little doubt what that actually means:

OK, why am I posting this? Well, for the usual reasons: It's time again for some honesty!

If Bristol and Marina have found each other, well, good for them! Friends are important!

However, Bristol still markets herself in public as a faithful Christian girl, with a hugely hypocritical autobiography, and a blog, both ghostwritten by the fundamentalist Christian Nancy French.

(however, notably, Bristol's blog hasn't been updated since May 16th, 2015)


Christianity sells as well, you know?

While Bristol Palin does not hesitate to boast about "religious beliefs" in public...

...her private life (or "secret" life, to be more precise) has always been very different.

While the Palins will continue to pander to their Christian and military base in public, their real life has little to do with their public image, and it was always like this.

Therefore I feel that it's time for some truth.

By the way, we do not judge Marina Lupas for her line of employment. At least she presents herself in public in an honest manner.

Anyway: Bristol, here's some advice!

Also, try to be more careful in the future! If you must have a celebrity/hero type as a future husband you should read his autobiographies first. In Dakota's case, this would have been very insightful, as his intense descriptions of killing people, killing animals as a child, alcohol abuse and ignoring the advice of doctors despite suffering from PTSD would have urged at least some caution. 

Especially when you expose a vulnerable child to yet another "daddy".

If not for yourself but for Tripp please spend a little time and effort to "vet" the "vet" next time.

But for now, let's celebrate life! It is even more pleasant without hypocrisy and false pretences.

Bristol, maybe Marina Lupas could vet your next guy first! She definitely seems qualified.

VERY FUNNY UPDATE:

OK, so Rick Leventhal from Fox News covers the event with Sarah in Kentucky, "celebrating life", without Bristol (see his tweets above).

Why him?

Kathleen googled him, and discovered that Rick is uniquely qualified to cover the cancelled wedding!

Rick Leventhal was once engaged to a journalist called Lauren Sivan. Back then, she worked with Fox News.

Guess what happened?

On a celebrity website, we found the following information:

Lauren is not married, but she was once engaged with her long-time boyfriend Rick Leventhal. They got engaged in September 2005. They were due to get married in 2006, but they called off the wedding a week before it took place, owing to some unforeseen circumstances. Apart from her news reporting skills, she is also widely considered to be one of the funniest reporters around. Her wit and humour has been the talk of the town, and one of the main points on her show that makes her stand out from the crowd. She was ranked the “Funniest News Reporter” in 2010.

The New York Daily News provided more information:

Breaking up is hard to do - especially right before Valentine's Day. But at least two high-profile couples have shattered their romances: budding real- estate mogul Ivanka Trump and socialite and sometime movie producer Bingo Gubelman - who split after 31/2 years. And Fox News correspondent Rick Leventhal and News 12 reporter Lauren Sivan - who were supposed to have gotten married on Saturday. "We broke up a month ago," the 24-year-old Trump told Lowdown yesterday. "But we're very good friends. Prior to that, I was in another long-term relationship. For now, I'm just enjoying being single.

" The 25-year-old Gubelman - who was a producer on the 2003 documentary "Born Rich," in which Ivanka appeared - couldn't be reached for comment yesterday. Apparently he's been focused on renovating his huge SoHo bachelor pad. "He started the apartment while we were together," Trump said. "I think it will be done in a few more months.

" Meanwhile, the 46-year-old Leventhal and the 27-year-old Silvan canceled their wedding just a week before the date. The cable-news blog FTV Live theorized: "Apparently, Rick and the boys went to Las Vegas ... for his bachelor party and it's possible that what happens in Vegas did not necessarily stay there this time around.

" Leventhal denied that. "Our canceling the wedding had nothing to do with my bachelor party or her bachelorette weekend. We just decided to wait.

" But Sivan isn't on the market, Leventhal insisted. "We're still very much together. We went to South Beach together for a few days last week. We spend every possible minute together and that will absolutely continue.

" Still, he conceded, "We're returning everyone's gifts.

Lauren Sivan and Rick Leventhal

Therefore, the marriage never did take place, although according to Rick Leventhal, it was merely postponed. That was in February 2006. You do the math!

In July 2014 it was reported that Lauren Sivan is still unmarried, and is also "living a happy and satisfied life with her parents in Los Angles, California."

Her twitter can be found here, and here is her instagram. Her handle is "idiotsivan", which may or may not be "a pun" in regard to past events.

UPDATE 2:

Here is a nice shot of Marina Lupas and Bristol, with Sarah and Todd in the background, taken when they made the fun trip to Las Vegas, where Bristol eventually met Dakota Meyer.

UPDATE 3:

Here is a promo-video from Marina Lupas:

She also has an "unfinished" website, in which she gives some more details.

UPDATE 4:

The Daily Mail sent a photographer to Kentucky, and they got the scoop with the photos from the "re-branded" wedding, and they also observed that Sarah Palin and Dakota Meyer had a "heated exchange."

The Daily Mail also makes some additional good points, similar to what we have been saying here as well:

The bizarre set of circumstances mean't that while the former vice presidential candidate hung out with her daughter's ex-fiance and ex-Marine Dakota Meyer and his family in Kentucky, Bristol made a very public showing of her non-attendance by posting a series of photos of her enjoying a 'weekend getaway' back in Alaska with her best friend who is an exotic model.

Sarah Palin had taken to Facebook last Monday to reveal that her 24-year-old daughter would not be marrying Meyer as previously planned just days after accusations emerged that the 26-year-old Marine had covered up a 'secret wife' he had married at 19 and then legally divorced.

Despite the cancellation, the former vice presidential candidate confirmed a celebration would still be held on May 23 and both families would be gathering for a barbecue at Meyer's Kentucky farm.

'This Kentucky farm is a beautiful setting for our friends and families to gather in celebration of life itself this Memorial Day weekend,' wrote Palin. 'Nothing is more precious to us than family, faith and America's freedom.'

But the 'celebration of life' appears to have quite heated at one point as this photograph showing Sarah Palin raising her finger in what appears to be a heated exchange with the man who was supposed to have become her son-in-law.

Days earlier Meyer had put out his own statement on Facebook page around the same time as the elder Palin and bearing striking similarities to her message, suggesting a concerted public relations offensive.

But if both sides were supposed to be maintaining a united front someone forgot to tell Bristol. She was absent from the 'celebration of life' in Kentucky and instead spent the weekend posting photos of her enjoying a 'getaway weekend' back home in Atlanta (typo by Daily Mail - "Alaska"). Sarah Palin makes a big issue of her family's supposed belief in traditional Christian family values, but after the embarassment of a cancelled wedding Bristol's choice of friend for her trip - 'exotic model and video vixen' Marina Lupas - was the last thing the family's tarnished image needed.

Lupas aggressively markets herself as an 'exotic model' on the internet, and her public photos leave little doubt about what she means. She and Bristol are long time friends and they spent the weekend enjoying the outdoors and driving an RV.

Photos from the family barbecue in Kentucky suggest Bristol didn't miss much with only about 100 people showing up.
