Letter to the Editor Washington Post Thursday, December 17, 2009 I’d like to thank Eugene Robinson for highlighting Alaska’s achievements on climate change [“Palin’s own ‘Climate- gate,’” op-ed, Dec. 15] and for noting that I’ve “treated the issue as serious, complex, and worthy of urgent attention,” while making “any number of pragmatic, reasonable, smart d […]

Todd and I would like to offer our best wishes to the Jewish community as they celebrate Hanukkah. Known as the Festival of Lights, Hanukkah commemorates the eight-day miracle that took place when the Temple in Jerusalem was rededicated. Though there was only enough consecrated oil for one day, the flame miraculously burned for eight – just long enough to pr […]

Why is Governor Schwarzenegger pushing for the same sorts of policies in Copenhagen that have helped drive his state into record deficits and unemployment? Perhaps he will recall that I live in our nation’s only Arctic state and that I was among the first governors to create a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with climate change. While I and all Alaskans wit […]

The Conan visit was fun – the best part was that we had Wounded Warriors with us in the audience. I can’t express how proud I am of their courage and patriotism. I’m extremely happy that Laura Ingraham had the great idea to put the simple coat from the cover of my book to good use. It’s being auctioned to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project and the Fisher Ho […]

Had a wonderful time in the Lower 48 this week. The weather has been just like home! Please enjoy the photos below from Texas, Virginia, Iowa, South Dakota, and Minnesota. - Sarah Palin

This book tour has been an amazing and inspirational experience for me and my family as we crisscrossed the country and met so many wonderful Americans. At nearly every stop we met someone with a connection to Alaska – usually through the military from being stationed at one of Alaska’s bases. With that in mind, we’ve decided to hold the final book signings […]

It’s a privilege to participate in the auction Laura Ingraham is organizing to help our men and women in uniform. Laura asked if I would donate the jacket I wore on the cover of my book, “Going Rogue.” I can’t think of a better cause, and it’s especially fitting because the book is dedicated to patriots and in particular to our women and men in uniform. All […]

Copenhagen’s political science The Washington Post By Sarah Palin Wednesday, December 9, 2009 With the publication of damaging e-mails from a climate research center in Britain, the radical environmental movement appears to face a tipping point. The revelation of appalling actions by so-called climate change experts allows the American public to finally unde […]

I commend Interior Secretary Salazar’s decision today to conditionally approve drilling at three exploratory wells in the Chukchi Sea off the northwest coast of Alaska; it’s a decision that’s been a long time coming. The area north of the Arctic Circle contains some of the world’s richest oil and gas reserves. U.S. Geological Survey researchers estimate that […]

On December 7, 1941, the Empire of Japan launched a surprise attack on the U. S. Naval Station at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in which thousands of Americans lost their lives and our naval fleet was severely damaged. The events of that day, which President Franklin Roosevelt vowed would “live in infamy,” proved for many Americans that aggressors would not simply i […]

Appearing Monday on MSNBC during the 10AM ET hour, CNBC White House correspondent John Harwood worked to whip up support for the health care bill passed by Senate Democrats while slamming its liberal opponents: “...so much of the commentary I’ve heard has been really idiotic. Liberals who want universal health care ought to be thanking Harry Reid for getting […]

Caught this in the Washington Post's "Letters to the Editor" section today. Good on the Post for printing this letter from a reader who caught liberal columnist E.J. Dionne in the act of hypocrisy: E.J. Dionne Jr. ["Democratic fratricide," op-ed, Dec. 17] views the Senate as a "dysfunctional and undemocratic partisan hothouse, […]

When it comes to freedom of speech, liberal journalists are the staunchest of defenders, right? Not so much when it comes to blasting Republican senators opposed to ObamaCare for "borderline sedition" that "comes dangerously close to inciting violence." That was the complaint of Time's Joe Klein, who griped today on the magazine […]

Climate Progress's Joe Romm says this weekend's blizzard that rocked the Eastern seaboard was caused by global warming.That's right, folks: you can add winter storms to the neverending list of things Nobel Laureate Al Gore's bogeyman is now responsible for.Of course this isn't at all surprising, for Romm blamed the 2007 Minnesota bri […]

There was something very important that I did not see on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” this morning.The very first bump-in on the show was a montage of Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.):COBURN: What the American people ought to pray, is that somebody can’t make the vote tonight. That’s what they ought to pray.[...]DURBIN: I don’t think it’s app […]

CNN senior political analyst David Gergen went so far to compare the Senate’s cloture vote early Monday morning on ObamaCare to the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision. Seconds after the Senate concluded its vote, Gergen lamented the party line vote, and contrasted it with the unanimous finding of the Supreme Court which ended the segregation of school […]

As NewsBusters’ Noel Sheppard reported on Saturday, on Friday’s Morning Meeting program on MSNBC, host Dylan Ratigan got into a shouting match with Democratic Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz over health care legislation. On Monday, he apologized for the outburst: “...the way I went about that on Friday was a disservice to our viewers....I have […]

It seems that the flat out health care flip-flop performed recently by Massachusetts Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate, Martha Coakley, was too hypocritically self serving for even the very liberal Boston Globe to spin in a way to make her look good. Either it was that or the fact that that they aren't worried about how such a story would affect Co […]

If one picture is worth a thousand words what is a video worth? Check out this comparison of how Marines in Al Anbar reacted to George W. vice how Marines at Camp Lejeune reacted to the Golden Child: Now this does not mean that Bush was a great leader. But this reflects what I have encountered recently [...]

NoQuarter has scored a coup. We have obtained special behind the scenes video (AND I DO MEAN “BEHIND”) of the lobbyists sealing the deal that makes the latest Senate Health Care bill a possibility. Harry Reid and the Democrats made the clear choice–take it like a man. I hear those insurance lobbyists are some [...]

At least once a week I like a real breakfast—you know, toast with a chunky berry jam, orange juice, hash browns, coffee, and a couple of eggs, sunny-side-up. But when I became aware of how laying hens were kept, those eggs didn’t look quite the same. Now they were staring straight up at me, [...]

* Bumped Up * Let’s assume for a minute that Barack Obama actually believes the Al Gore nonsense about global warming. Let’s also assume that Al Gore’s vision is correct and that we stand on the precipice of peril unless there is immediate action to reduce human created carbon dioxide. If this really was [...]

Editor’s Note: Featured at the end of this post are the rally held Sunday in Omaha, Nebraska to oppose Sen. Ben Nelson’s cave-in, a news report on the backlash in Nebraska against Nelson, and a new “Give Ben The Boot” Web site. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: In “ How the Whit […]

Tiger Woods is the Bernie Madoff of sports images. He sold an untruth to as many and for as much as he could, all the while knowing there was virtually no truth to that image, talent notwithstanding. Like many others, I’ve followed the Tiger Woods story – at a distance. I’m not terribly interested [...]

We cannot — cannot — trust a word that Harry Reid or the MSM initially tell us, and here’s some more proof of that immutable fact, now about what the CBO report REALLY says. (You know, yesterday, when I saw the first reports on the CBO report that gave high marks to the Senate bill, [...]

A friend sent this copy of a letter she wrote to her Senator. I think it eloquently lays out a key argument against this atrocious health “care” bill. Dear Senator _____, Thank you for voting against the Nelson-Hatch Amendment. I appreciate hearing from you. More needs to be done. In regard to federal funding of abortion: Please [...]

Oh, what a turn of events, and so quickly, too. Remember when Hugo Chavez called Bush “the devil” at another UN meeting? Many of us thought that was hilarious. Here’s the clip as a reminder: Yes, yes, that was mighty funny. Finally, someone was saying what so many of us lefties thought. Then, [...]
