Yes, the United States really did bribe Iran for the release of four American prisoners. The Obama administration's denial is hogwash.

Conservative Washington, D.C.-based watchdog Judicial Watch today released a letter from the Justice Department admitting a Democratic Party/Obama campaign donor and Justice Department attorney spent more than 1,529 hours investigating the IRS targeting conservative organizations in 2010 and 2012.

Sally Bradshaw, Jeb Bush's top adviser and for nearly three decades one of the most respected advisers in the Republican Party in any state, has left the GOP to become an independent.

One New York billionaire -- former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg -- was speaking directly to independents and skeptical Republicans about another New York billionaire when he told Democratic National Convention delegates, "I'm a New Yorker, and New Yorkers know a con when we see one."

Florida delegates to the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland are still rolling out superlatives, still winding down from a four-day experience they claim was one of the best of their lives.

"I've been back for a day," said Pinellas County delegate Nick DiCiegle, "but I'm still blown away, I'm still living it. ... "The RPOF staff did just an awesome job of motivating and educating us from the minute we got to Cleveland."

After six years as St. Lucie County property appraiser, former President of the Florida Senate Ken Pruitt will leave the Property Appraiser's Office in January with an achievement that only 35 of 13,000 assessment jurisdictions in the nation have ever realized. His office has won the highly coveted Certificate of Excellence in Assessment Administration (CEAA).
