Bristol Palin announces birth of second child

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Bristol Palin is a mother for the second time.

Palin, who launched an abstinence campaign after giving birth as an unwed teenage mother, posted on Instagram Thursday that she gave birth to a girl, Sailor Grace, on Wednesday.

"Our family couldn't be more complete," she wrote beneath a photo of her and her sleeping baby in what appears to be a hospital bed.

It's the second child out of wedlock for the 25-year-old daughter of 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Family attorney John Tiemessen said he could confirm only that the Instagram account was Bristol Palin's.

[Former George W. Bush press secretary Dana] Perino noted that the Clinton campaign is casting its candidate as a “tough grandma,” so news that Chelsea Clinton is pregnant again helps push that narrative.

“Is that timed out?” [Fox News guest host Eric] Bolling asked. “Did they do the math?”

“I would never suggest such a thing,” Perino said, despite having just suggested that very thing.

20. Sarah Palin Bans Muslims from Entering Bristol Palin
Fri Dec 25, 2015, 08:39 AM
Dec 2015

Wasilla, AK – Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she supports Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s call for a ban on admitting Muslims into the United States, stating she once put a similar ban in place while she was governor of Alaska.

“As governor of Alaska, I banned Muslims from entering my daughter Bristol, and that ban is still enforced to this day,” Palin said. “Your first instinct as a parent is to protect your children, and that is what Donald Trump is trying to do, protect America from Muslim jihadists.”

Trump’s call for a “total and complete shutdown” on admitting Muslims in the U.S. drew condemnation from Republican opponents as well as Democrats. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle criticized the plan as impractical and unconstitutional.

Speaking with the Christian Broadcast Network (CBN) to promote her latest book ‘Sweet Freedom: A Devotional’, Palin spoke on a wide range of topics including Donald Trump, being fired from Fox News, and her daughter Bristol’s passion for wild unprotected sex.

the 1970s movie based on a Yukio Mishima novel.
[img][/img]
It was Kris Kristofferson and Sarah Miles' re-enactment on the pages of Playboy of their steamy sex scenes from this movie that was reputedly the last straw for Rita Coolidge in her marriage to Kristofferson. Maybe Bristol and Babydaddy were watching the movie the night the baby was conceived.

Is the soft consonants. Women are already equal to men as sailors, if I'm not mistaken.

Why not "Jackhammer" or "Stevedore?"

Well, I wouldn't go to extremes. I wouldn't name a baby boy "brassiere" for instance.

On second thought, I think it is entirely possible that there are women who use jackhammers and who are stevedores. I think it's muscle power that's important and overall men have more muscle mass than women. A sailor does many things that does not necessariley involve heavy muscle power. That's really all I was saying...

She was the one who took money to be the poster child for abstinence only campaigns. She was the one who made herself a public figure by capitalizing on her mother's fame.

She has quite a bit to do with Sarah Palin.
