    If by "show off her baby bump," you mean "visits the UN to encourage it to investigate allegations of genocide by ISIS," this is correct.

    This is not true. Here's the video from the Pledge at the Democratic convention on… Night 1: youtu.be/KGVwc02FEaQ?t=… Night 2: youtu.be/DFfw0-vE-7I?t=… Night 3: youtu.be/hkqZayMXlwY?t=… Night 4: youtu.be/d9sYe1nkyT8?t=4
    The Democrats took the word GOD out of the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democrat National Convention. At first I thought they made a mistake, but it wasn’t. It was done on purpose. Remember Evangelical Christians, and ALL, this is where they are coming from-it’s done. Vote Nov 3!

    The Harris and Trump camps are at an impasse over rules ahead of the Sept 10 ABC debate. The holdup? Whether the candidates’ microphones will be muted when it isn’t their turn to speak. Team Trump wants them muted. Team Harris wants the mics hot.

    Just noting: the Michigan gun-toting Michigan protests that Rep. Jayapal referenced — and which AG Barr said didn't fall under under his authority — happened ~100 yards away from the Chamberlain Federal Building/courthouse in Lansing.
    Rep. Pramila Jayapal says Barr targets Black Lives Matter protesters: "When White men with swastikas storm a government building with guns, there is no need for the president to activate you, because they're getting the president's personal agenda done" cbsnews.com/live-updates/a…

    Quite the shock tactic for fundraising: Michigan congressional candidate (state Sen. Tom Barrett) sends text messages that open with this language: "your child's gender reassignment surgery has been booked" michiganadvance.com/2022/04/21/sen…

    Uh, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery.
    "This is an imperfect analogy, but the thirteenth ice cream cone isn’t as good as the first one was," Pompeo said Friday at Kansas State University. "And with respect to unalienable rights, more, per se, is not always better." bloom.bg/2LwAAb3

    A member of the Michigan congressional delegation texting @jaketapper about the pronunciation of "Meijer" while he's on air may be the most Michigan thing ever.

    Wow, "Richard Jewell" depicts Kathy Scruggs — a real Atlanta Journal Constitution reporter — sleeping with an FBI agent to land a scoop about the '96 Olympic bombing. But there's no evidence it happened, and Scruggs died in 2001 and cannot defend herself.

    Per the new Ben Rhodes book, here's what Obama said to him a few days after Trump's election: “Maybe this is what people want. I’ve got the economy set up well for him. No facts. No consequences. They can just have a cartoon.”

    Franco's school offered "a $750 master class for sex scenes. According to the lawsuit, prospective students for the sex scenes class had to audition on videotape — so that Franco could later review the material, they were told — and sign away their rights to these recordings."
    Two former students of an acting school that James Franco helped create say the now-defunct program was a scheme to provide him and his male collaborators with a pool of young female performers that they could take advantage of nyti.ms/2OhmAF7
