Last week, we were told there were 40,000 Yazidis on Sinjar Mountain facing starvation if they remained there, and slaughter by ISIS if they came down.

But a team of Marines and Special Forces that helicoptered in has reported back that, with a corridor off the mountain opened up by U.S. air strikes, the humanitarian crisis is over. The few thousand who remain can be airdropped food and water. The rest can be brought out.

Tom Lee has become one of the main Republicans attacking Charlie Crist as he looks to return to leading the Florida Senate.

This week, robocalls went out from The Conservatives, a group with ties to Lee. The robocalls went out across Florida and featured Crist espousing conservative positions from his various bids for office back when he was a Republican. But, as Crist is now a Democrat, his past statements and positions could come back to haunt him, though he should easily cruise over Nan Rich in the primary later this month.
