In news I was too busy to cover yesterday, that "veteran's group" that Donald Trump did a fundraiser for loses its nonprofit status.

The Internal Revenue Service revoked the nonprofit status of the veterans benefit organization that hosted and sold tickets to a foreign policy speech by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump aboard a retired U.S. battleship, The Associated Press has learned. The group's endorsement of Trump at the event also could raise legal problems under campaign finance laws. 

Trump's campaign did not respond to questions from the AP about whether it was aware that the IRS had revoked the nonprofit status of the Veterans for a Strong America, which sold tickets to Trump's event for up to $1,000 as a fundraiser. The IRS issued its decision Aug. 10, citing the group's failure to file any tax returns for three consecutive years, according to IRS records reviewed by the AP. 

The group's chairman, Joel Arends of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, said the organization was appealing the IRS decision. He would not provide AP with copies of any tax returns, which would show how much money the group has collected over the years and how it spends its money. By law, such records are supposed to be available to the general public for inspection. 

"We disagree with the IRS determination letter," Arends told the AP in an interview. He appeared alongside Trump on Tuesday night on the ship.

"We disagree?" Doesn't he mean "I" disagree?

Gee I wonder if the Right Wing will suggest that this is yet another example of Obama's IRS hit men coming after conservative groups due to their ideologies, or if this smells a little too shady for even them to touch with a ten foot pole?

So Todd Palin got a new plane.

Now if you are like me you are probably wondering just how Todd could afford to buy a plane when we all know that SarahPAC dollars are drying up like Palin's nether regions and Sarah's ability to make money off of reality shows, speeches, and public appearances is all but disappearing?

Well an industrious member of our IM team did a little checking, and though the source for the money is not revealed the time of the sale and the former owner is.

As you can see the N-number on the tail is N305SP.

According to Flight Aware that plane is now registered to Iron Investments which has exactly two members:

Sarah and Todd Palin.

Now according to Flight Aware the previous owner was Samaritan's Purse, and we all know that it is a "charity" run by none other than Franklin Graham.

You know Graham, the guy who went with Palin to drop off cookies to the wrong Alaska village in response to pleas for assistance by natives in entirely different villages.

And as for Todd's old plane? Well he sold that to Matthew McKenna.

You remember McKenna don't you? He was the guy that kinda sorta backed up the Palin version of the Throwdown at the Hoedown.

Gee it all seems a little....incestuous doesn't it?

And why do I feel that there is much more going on here than meets the eye?

And speaking of meeting the eye does Palin even own a mirror these days?
