  • What to watch: Cheney in trouble while Palin eyes comeback

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Elections in Wyoming and Alaska on Tuesday could relaunch the political career of a former Republican star and effectively end the career of another — at least for now. Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney is the vice chair of a U.S. House committee seeking to expose the truth behind former President Donald Trump’s relentless efforts to stay in power after losing the 2020 election, and his role in fomenting the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Cheney’s determination to prevent Trump from ever again serving in the White House has left her fighting to hold on to...
  • Sarah Palin once told her husband she was heading to Costco but instead went to JCPenney to see Ivana Trump because she said Alaskans were 'so desperate' for 'glamour and culture'

    A news article from 1996, before Sarah Palin was in politics, quotes her as an Ivana Trump fan. Palin had lined up to meet Trump, who was in Alaska promoting her perfume line. Palin recounted the experience on Thursday after news broke of Ivana Trump's death. Long before she became a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, Sarah Palin was a big fan of his ex-wife. In 1996, Palin was just one of many Alaskans who lined up to meet Ivana Trump, the former Czechoslovakian Olympic skier and businesswoman, according to an article published in the Anchorage Daily News...

    While Democrat activists have been busy trying to figure out a way to tie up tickets for the Trump Save America rally on July 9 at the University of Alaska Anchorage’s Alaska Airlines Center, it’s not working. On Twitter, Trump detractors have been sharing ideas for how to reserve tickets they don’t plan to use. The effort has fallen flat, because the free tickets to the Trump rally do not actually reserve a seat — they are first-come, first-served. The line for the July 9 rally opens at 6 am. The free ticket signup is mainly to help organizers of...

    FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that he was not “buying” former Gov. Sarah Palin’s political comeback bid for her state’s sole seat on the U.S. House of Representatives. Anchor Jon Karl said, “Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is attempting a political comeback nearly 14 years after Sen. John McCain made her the Republican Party’s first female candidate for vice president. She’s running for Alaska’s lone House seat following the death of longtime Congressman Don Young. Donald Trump has already endorsed her but does she have a shot at winning? Here’s FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver.

    Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska has little to say about her state's former governor's nascent bid for Alaska's at-large congressional district. "Why don't you ask an original question?" she quipped to Insider, lamenting that "everybody" is asking her about Sarah Palin's newly-announced campaign to succeed the late Republican Rep. Don Young, who held the seat from 1973 until his death this year, in an upcoming special election.

    Thank goodness, she is back! Sarah Palin, the driving force behind the Tea Party movement, has been away from the political limelight for too long. It was welcome news to learn that she entered the crowded race to replace Alaska Republican Congressman Don Young, who recently passed away after a 49-year congressional career. While Palin is a resident of Alaska, she is known nationwide. After being elected Governor of Alaska, she burst onto the national political scene in 2008 when the late U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) selected her as his running mate. Palin added excitement and energy to a...

    “The View” co-hosts parroted a lie Monday about former Republican Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin that was made on a Saturday Night Live (SNL) skit and has since been used to mock her. “Look out world, Sarah Palin just announced she’s returning to politics,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg said as the crowd erupted into laughter. “The former governor of Alaska plans to run for the congressional seat left vacant by the death of longtime Alaska Congressman Don Young,” she continued. “Dammit, Don!” “And she’s even picked up an official endorsement from, guess who? Yeah, from he who will not be named on...

    Former President Donald Trump enthusiastically endorsed former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in her run to fill Rep. Don Young’s (R-AK) congressional seat. Hailing the former Alaska governor as a “wonderful patriot,” Donald Trump praised Palin for her persistence in the face of the Democrats’ attacks on her. “Wonderful patriot Sarah Palin of Alaska just announced that she is running for Congress, and that means there will be a true America First fighter on the ballot to replace the late and legendary Congressman Don Young,” said Trump. Sarah Palin notably endorsed Trump very early in the 2016 primaries. “We are ready...

    Sarah Palin, a former Alaska governor and the Republican nominee for vice president in 2008, said Friday that she was entering the race for Alaska’s lone congressional seat, marking her return to national politics after she helped revive the anti-establishment rhetoric that has come to define the Republican Party. She will be joining a crowded field of nearly 40 candidates to fill the House seat left vacant by Representative Don Young, whose unexpected death last month has spurred one of the largest political shifts in the state in 50 years. Ms. Palin said she planned to honor Mr. Young’s legacy,...

    Former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) said she is considering a bid to fill the seat vacated last week by Rep. Don Young (R-AK). Young died on Friday at the age of 88. He was the longest-serving member in the House of Representatives at the time of his death. Young had held Alaska’s sole seat in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1973. He became Dean of the House following the 2017 retirement of Rep. John Conyers. Young was asked by the New York Times in 2020 how long he intended to serve in the House. He responded: “God will decide...

    NEW YORK, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Former U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin asked a U.S. court on Monday for a new trial after losing her defamation case against the New York Times (NYT.N) earlier this month, and requested that the judge overseeing the case be disqualified. Palin's attorneys said last week they would take those steps because several jurors received push notifications on their cellphones before deliberations were over about U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff's decision to dismiss the case regardless of their verdict.

    NEW YORK, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican U.S. vice presidential candidate, plans to seek a new trial and have the judge disqualified after losing her defamation case against the New York Times. U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan discussed Palin's plan at a hearing on Wednesday, and said he will issue a written opinion by March 1 explaining why he dismissed her case while jurors were deliberating. He said he would speed up the opinion because of the "fracas" surrounding the dismissal. The unusual hearing came eight days after jurors rejected...

    NEW YORK (AP) — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin lost her libel lawsuit against The New York Times on Tuesday when a jury rejected her claim that the newspaper maliciously damaged her reputation by erroneously linking her campaign rhetoric to a mass shooting. A judge had already declared that if the jury sided with Palin, he would set aside its verdict on the grounds that she hadn’t proven the paper acted maliciously, something required in libel suits involving public figures. Palin, a onetime Republican vice presidential nominee, sued the newspaper in 2017 claiming it had damaged her career as a...

    Legal experts have slammed the Clinton-appointed New York judge who tossed Sarah Palin's libel lawsuit against The New York Times while jurors are still deliberating the case and say he's effectively hobbled the jury. 'I would have expected the judge to wait for the jury to return its verdict before ruling on the motion for judgment as a matter of law, because there was no urgency to issuing that ruling,' attorney Mitchell Epner, of Rottenberg Lipman Rich PC, told Law & Crime on Monday. 'Nothing would have changed if he had waited for the verdict to have been announced, or...

    The former editorial page editor of the New York Times is making the same claim about his intent in publishing an outrageous falsehood about Sarah Palin that he made in 2017. If the jury credits his argument in 2022, victims of journalistic malpractice may find it nearly impossible to win libel cases against media organizations. Former Times editor James Bennet testified this week in the jury trial of Ms. Palin’s defamation case against his former newspaper. Back in 2017, the Times published an editorial containing fake news about the former Alaska governor and GOP vice-presidential candidate. In the editorial, which...
