SOUTH DAYTONA, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say the windows of a county Republican Party office in Florida were shot at over the weekend.

Capt. Mark Cheatham of the South Daytona Police Department says four shots were fired at the office of the Republican Executive Committee of Volusia County.

County GOP Chairman Tony Ledbetter says the shooting happened sometime after staffers left the office Sunday afternoon and before they returned Monday morning.

Nobody was inside when the shooting took place.

Cheatham says the shooting is being investigated as vandalism until detectives establish a motive.

Ledbetter says it appeared to be by a drive-by shooter. A window was shot out and another had a bullet hole in it.

The office is located in a strip mall in South Daytona, not far from Daytona Beach on Florida’s Atlantic Coast.

    Weird, that is what I thought at first. And at second. Most activists would not think of a false flag as an ethical political move. But the conservative lunatics seem to think everybody does it, which to me sounds like the projections of a unethical group of actors. Still, I am glad it was empty.

  4. This admin’s reach out effort to Latinos prior to an election.

    The Defense Department will deploy at least 5,200 active-duty troops to the southern border by the end of this week to help harden security there

    The deployment is the first piece of a multistage approach that Mr. Trump has been considering for several weeks, and which also is expected to include executive action to bar entry to Central Americans, including for those seeking asylum.

  5. when the strategists said ‘big tent’ after obama won, I guess they meant for migrant children taken from their parents at the border. who knew?
