(Via Project Veritas) In the effort to prove the credibility of the undercover donor featured in the videos and to keep the investigation going, Project Veritas Action made the decision to donate twenty thousand dollars to Robert Creamer’s effort. Project Veritas Action had determined that the benefit of this investigation outweighed the cost. And it did.

In an unexpected twist, AUFC president Brad Woodhouse, the recipient of the $20,000, heard that Project Veritas Action was releasing undercover videos exposing AUFC’s activities. He told a journalist that AUFC was going to return the twenty thousand dollars.
Woodhouse said it was because they were concerned that it might have been an illegal foreign donation. Project Veritas Action was pleased but wondered why that hadn’t been a problem for the month they had the money.

Today candidate Donald Trump will be holding an official grand opening ceremony and ribbon cutting in Washington DC for Trump International (the Old Post Office Bldg).  The event is scheduled for 11:00am EDT:

Megyn Kelly’s ‘too-cute-by-half‘ snarky and condescending schtick finally brought Newt Gingrich to the point where he gives it back to her.  It is remarkable it took this long before someone finally called her out:

Ms. Kelly’s world is, and has been, crumbling for well over a year.   Her life’s “professional mentor and personal role model” (her words), Roger Ailes, exited Fox News under a cloud of sexual impropriety.  Given the backdrop of her pearl clutching protestations to Newt Gingrich, there’s a profound irony..  (more…)

You have to know Florida to understand Florida.  In many ways it’s a microcosm of the larger U.S. electorate, everyone is from somewhere else; and in some ways it’s a unique place known only to generational crackers, which has nothing whatsoever to do with race or hyphens.
If you grew up in Florida you’ll already know most of this review.  Or if, like me, your childhood Tupperware was a matching set of Cool Whip containers, well, it should make sense too…
