Washington (CNN) - Sarah Palin says she wouldn't want to be a "burden" on the Republican ticket by becoming Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate. The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee acknowledged to CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" that she's a controversial figure, nudging Trump to look elsewhere and saying that there are "so many other great people out there." "I want to help and not hurt, and I am such a realist that I realize there are a whole lot of people out there who would say, 'Anybody but Palin.' I wouldn't...

While stumping for GOP front-runner Donald Trump, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was speaking to a group of mostly establishment conservatives, and she ended up silencing the room after revealing a damning secret about Sen. Ted Cruz’s past that he didn’t want out. During her speech, the audience remained quite quiet as Palin explained to them the importance of not falling for deception, which they would be doing if the supported Cruz and his weak and opportunistic position on immigration. Evidence of his position, as Palin explained to the crowd, was when he accompanied Glenn Beck in McAllen, Texas to...

This is a good quality feed, they have been broadcasting for a while, just thought I would send a dedicated link to this now that Palin is starting speaking. http://wlos.com/live/event (credit, to poster Biggredd1)

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who’s endorsed Donald Trump, is in Wisconsin campaigning for the GOP frontrunner. Palin posted on Facebook, “Just touched down in the great state of Wisconsin to ‪#‎Stump4Trump‬! Wisconsin’s middle class has been hurt by DC politicians’ out-of-touch policies worse than any other state – 100,000 jobs lost to Mexico and China thanks to trade deficits with countries that cheat on our ‘agreements.'” Donald J. Trump has fought for American workers and against trade deficits for decades in the private sector, unlike his competitors who actually support Obama’s reckless TPP and TPA deals that are entirely...

Thursday, the rise of Donald Trump as a malignant political force was the cause of an outbreak of Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome in the mind of a writer from Chicago named Steve Chapman. Chapman draws a direct line between Trump becoming the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination and the rise of Palin as a political force of nature when she was selected as John McCain’s running mate in 2008. Palin, you see, is simply Trump in a skirt, something that may be hard for the rest of us to imagine, despite the fact that the lady from Alaska has...

While awaiting the next available flight out of Tampa to head home to Alaska after husband Todd Palin suffered serious injuries in a snow machine accident, Governor Palin had time for an unscheduled visit to briefly address the crowd at a Trump Town Hall event. A visibly concerned Palin acknowledged the audience for their thoughts of Todd saying, "Thank you guys, for your prayers for my husband who is recovering right now in ICU after a little wreck on a snow machine, so thank you. Big wreck, thank you." The Governor spoke of the disruptors that have been hijacking Trump...

In an epic battle of former governors who also fell a few percentage points short of the White House, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin responded to former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney‘s feature-length attack on Donald Trump in true Palin fashion: with a Facebook post. Palin, who endorsed Trump in January in spectacular fashion, warned Trump not to “take the bait”: The “machine’s” deception and nonsensical attack on Trump isn’t really an attack on the candidate, it’s an attack on conscientious, hardworking, patriotic Americans who know we need a revolution to stop the complicit politicians who are fundamentally transforming America. We...

Two months later, we ran a cover story on Ms. Palin with the tag line "She's One of the Folks." The editor in charge of covers, Bruce Ramsay, said he wanted a more intimate portrait, so we used a closely cropped version of the earlier image. A female staffer noticed that the crop revealed some untended lip and eyebrow hair, but Mr. Ramsay decided to go ahead with the image unaltered, for several reasons. The magazine had a policy of not retouching photos, and Mr. Ramsay wanted the strong eye contact in the image; in any case, the facial hair...

Ted Cruz’s star spokesman and campaign partner, Glenn Beck, promises he will support a socialist vs. the pro-life, pro-2nd amendment, pro-growth, pro-American GOP front runner… what’s conservative about that?…http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/…/wow-glenn-beck-i-prefer-…/ Beck would have chosen Hillary Clinton over the GOP nominee and evidently thinks Barack Obama is a pretty swell guy as President… what’s judicious about that?… http://theconservativetreehouse.com/…/must-watch-glenn-bec…/ Beck proclaims his hatred for the American victims of 9/11 – the innocent VICTIMS, mind you, not the evil terrorists.. what’s honorable about that?..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf33g9ep4YU Beck joins Cruz in inviting more illegals to break America’s laws as the two link arms to greet illegal immigrants...

Being the thoroughly rented person that she is, Sarah Palin has taken Donald Trump’s ridiculous accusations about Ted Cruz benefiting from a rumor that Ben Carson had dropped out of the race and is running with it. Via Palin’s Facebook: Dirty Politics: Witnessing Firsthand It’s Always Heartbreaking, Never Surprising Thank heavens Donald Trump opened so many eyes to the lies, corruption and total lack of accountability that come so naturally to the permanent political class. [ed note: I had to pause here and throw up in my trash can] And Sen. Ted Cruz was spot on when he once noted...

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin flew out of Iowa on Tuesday after traveling there to campaign with presidential hopeful Donald Trump. Yahoo News spoke to Palin, who was the GOP's vice presidential candidate in 2008, as she passed through airport security. Trump came in second to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in the Iowa caucuses on Monday night, so we asked Palin whether she thinks Trump will catch up in the next primary state, New Hampshire. "I think so," Palin said of Trump's chances in the Granite State. "He's going to do well there." Palin also shared...

Sarah Palin Thursday lauded Donald Trump's decision to skip the Republican presidential debate in Des Moines, calling him a "game-changer" whose "victory on this issue proves we have a choice." "Trump just spoke for the majority of us who are through with a prejudiced press and a political hierarchy expecting us to hit our knees at their command," the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate, said on Facebook. "Enough is enough."

Watch out, world: Sarah Palin said she's open to running for political office again. The former Alaska governor touched on a possible return to politics during a wide-ranging interview on CBS's "Sunday Morning." "This will always be home," she said of Wasilla, Ala. "I would know that I could always come back here." "You're willing to run again?" the interviewer asked. "I'd be willing. That's a good way to put it," Palin said. The former Republican vice presidential nominee left the political scene after the GOP's White House defeat in 2008. Apart from endorsements here and there, her primary political...

Following the news of her return to cable news, Sarah Palin surprised nobody by appearing on On The Record to voice her support for Donald Trump‘s immigration policies. She began by telling Greta Van Susteren that even though Trump’s plans are not yet complete, she praised him for looking at the big picture, and challenged his competitors to do the same.“When we incentivize people to come on over with any avenue, it sends the wrong message to illegals,” Palin said. “In fact, we are rewarding them taking illegal action as their first step as they are on our land. How...

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the running mate for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)43% ’s (R-AZ) 2008 presidential campaign, weighed in on the dispute between McCain and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, posting a message on her Facebook page calling both men heroes and encouraging them to “resolve the media-driven wedge between them.” As Breitbart News reported, Trump set off a media firestorm on Saturday when he said that McCain was a war hero only “because he was captured.” McCain, a Navy pilot who volunteered for service during the Vietnam War, was brutally tortured during his five-and-a-half years as a POW....

Asked about the dispute between Donald Trump and Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona -- the candidate at the top of the ticket when she was 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee -- former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin Monday afternoon called both men heroes. "I have the good fortune of knowing both John McCain and Donald Trump well," Palin told CNN in an email. "Both men have more in common than the today's media hype would have you believe. Both blazed trails in their careers and love our great nation."

The best thing that can happen to Democrats is for outspoken, outrageous Donald Trump, the New York billionaire, to dominate the Republican presidential primary season. The Donald is in classic form these days, insulting Mexico and Mexican-Americans while trying to make a case about the criminality of immigrants. He's doing his money-lubricated best to undermine credible candidates like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush by belittling and baiting them. If a newbie on the political scene were to see Trump in action, it would be easy to conclude he's working for the Democrats. http://www.jamestownsun.com/opinion/letters/3798399-trump-palin-democrats-dream-ticket

Just days after announcing her second pregnancy out of wedlock, mama bear Bristol Palin was back on the defensive, addressing the wave of critics who have called the former abstinence advocate a hypocrite in a blistering blog post. “I have never been paid as an ‘abstinence spokesperson,'” she said, although RadarOnline.com has learned she earned more than $300,000 spreading that very message. ...

  Liberals are famous for conveniently rewriting their history. Just take a look at some of the photos below for a few of their most blatant examples, including the lie that they were always for gay marriage and against racism. The false history teaching that liberals opposed slavery, wanted women to vote, exclusively led the civil rights movements is all Orwellian talk, for the truth is the opposite. It’s been the party of Lincoln and Reagan on the side of justice in each of those issues. We led the fight against slavery and for women’s suffrage, and with Martin Luther...
