Nigel Farage warned Thursday night in America that the U.S. Republican party will become a dinosaur not an elephant if it continues to embrace the political center.

'I suspect that if the Republican Party sticks with the establishment it will lose,' he told Daily Mail Online after a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference.

The GOP 'has got to reach the Hispanic community, but it's also got to reach that blue-collar community that Reagan got to vote for him in huge numbers. I'm not sure at the moment that they're positioning themselves to do that.'

CPAC is an annual three-day mecca for constitutional evangelists, anti-Obamacare shock troops, full-throated abortion opponents and gun rights activists. Many of them think the Republican Party is only slightly less liberal and nanny-statist than the president.

LAPEER TWP. The Lapeer County Tea Party will host its next monthly meeting, open to the public, at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 3 at Maple Grove Church, 148 Maple Grove Rd. in Lapeer Township.

Hagerstrom will explain Proposal 1 to be voted on by state residents on May 5, and how it will affect the average Michigan citizen. A May 5 statewide ballot proposal will ask Michigan voters to approvea1centsalestaxincreasetohelp fund the states roads and schools.

If Proposal 1 passes, it will increase the 6 percent state sales tax to 7 percent, while dropping the sales tax on fuel. The initiative, which requires voter approval, will ensure in Michigans constitution that all state taxes paid at the pump will go to the support of transportation.

The March 3 meeting will include a question and answer session after the presentation. For more information, visit the Tea Party website at http://www.lapeerteaparty.org.

Investigators Find 32,000 Emails in IRS Probe

Investigators said Thursday they have recovered 32,000 emails related to a former IRS official at the heart of the agency's tea party scandal.

But they don't know how many of them are new.

The emails were to and from Lois Lerner, who used to head the IRS division that processes applications for tax-exempt status. Last June, the IRS told Congress it had lost an unknown number of Lerner's emails when her computer hard drive crashed in 2011.

At the time, IRS officials said the emails could not be recovered. But at a congressional hearing Thursday evening, investigators said they recovered thousands of emails from old computer tapes used to back up the agency's email system.

"We recovered quite a number of emails but until we compare those to what's already been produced we don't know if they're new emails," Timothy Camus, a Treasury deputy inspector general for tax administration, told the House Oversight Committee.

Neither Camus nor the inspector general, J. Russell George, would describe the contents of any of the emails at Thursday's hearing.

The IRS says it has already produced 78,000 Lerner emails, many of which have been made public by congressional investigators.

Camus said it took investigators two weeks to locate the computer tapes that contained Lerner's emails. He said it took technicians about four months to find Lerner's emails on the tapes.

Several Oversight Committee members questioned how hard the IRS tried to produce the emails, given how quickly independent investigators found them.

"We have been patient. We have asked, we have issued subpoenas, we have held hearings," said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the committee. "It's just shocking me that you start, two weeks later you're able to find the emails."
