Project Veritas' James O’Keefe’s Big-Money Donors Revealed

James O'Keefe's big money donors

James O’Keefe, the conservative provocateur, has managed to make a host of enemies through his surreptitious video sting operations. Through the years, however, he’s managed to rely on a hodge podge of wealthy benefactors that range from prominent Republican donors, to obscure financial types, and even a songwriter who once composed melodies for Barbra Streisand and Christina Aguilera.

O’Keefe’s latest stunt involved a failed attempt to penetrate The Washington Post by having an operative pretend to be impregnated by Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore—a scheme designed to discredit others accusing Moore of sexual assault and misconduct. The effort garnered Project Veritas some bad press, but a look at the group’s tax filings from 2011 to 2013 suggests that O’Keefe does not have much to fear financially.

TVNL Comment: No big surprise.  Big money from GOP donors has supported dirty political tricks for decades.  O'Keefe is a low life liar.  Money can't change that.

VA cuts program for homeless vets after touting Trump's commitment

David Shulkin: VA cuts program for homeless vets

Four days after Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin held a big Washington event to tout the Trump administration’s promise to house all homeless vets, the agency did an about-face, telling advocates it was pulling resources from a major housing program.

The VA said it was essentially ending a special $460 million program that has dramatically reduced homelessness among chronically sick and vulnerable veterans. Instead, the money would go to local VA hospitals that can use it as they like, as long as they show evidence of dealing with homelessness.
