People: John McCain's 2008 Running Mate Sarah Palin Is Not Invited to His Funeral: 'It's Sad'

President Donald Trump and former John McCain presidential running mate Sarah Palin are not invited to memorial services for the iconic Arizona senator, multiple sources tell PEOPLE.

“Two names you won’t see on the guest list: Trump and Palin,” says a Capitol Hill source with knowledge of funeral plans for McCain, who died of brain cancer Saturday at age 81.

“Invitations were not extended” to the two political figures, confirms Carla Eudy, a fundraiser who has worked with and been friends with the McCain family for decades.

WNU Editor: Over the years I have never read or heard anything negative from former Governor Sarah Palin on Senator McCain. Never. It is unfortunate that the McCain family have made this decision.

Sarah Palin Was Right

Palin On Ukraine: I Told You So -- CNN

(CNN) - Sarah Palin may be having a bragging rights moment.

In 2008, when she was the GOP vice presidential nominee, Palin questioned in a speech whether then-Sen. Barack Obama would have the foreign policy credentials to handle a scenario in which Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine.

"After the Russian army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama's reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence – the kind of response that would only encourage Russia's Putin to invade Ukraine next," she said in Reno, Nevada on October 21, 2008.

My Comment: And the Washington political - media establishment told us that she was the stupid one.

Fort Bragg reversed its no-media policy for Sarah Palin's book signing event on Monday, confirming that the best-selling Alaska author is a ‘politician,’ but not an ‘elected official’.

Military regulations are strict: Respect the commander-in-chief.

But given that some popularity polls have former vice presidential candidate — and ardent Obama critic — Sarah Palin nearly parallel with President Obama’s approval ratings, the Army faced a real conundrum when deciding how to deal with Ms. Palin’s on-base book signing scheduled for Monday at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

The book, “Going Rogue,” describes Palin’s rise from hockey mom to governor of Alaska, to widely attacked (but also hugely popular) vice presidential candidate, whose independent streak caused the John McCain presidential campaign to opine that she was “going rogue.”

My Comment: The U.S. Army did not have a chance. Sarah Palin is extremely popular within the military, and her presence in Fort Bragg will be a huge event attracting thousands. The Army realized that it was pointless to try and stop the tsunami that will be hitting Fort Bragg tomorrow .... they did the right thing to not stop it.

Sarah Palin Desecrates The Flag

USC Title 4, Ch. 1, Para. 8

(c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.

d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
