tulc(thinks this could be pretty interesting and fun!)On 7 July 2016, the Christian Post published an article reporting that President Obama signed an executive order commissioning megachurch pastor Rob Bell to create a gender-neutral version of the Bible:
tulc(just another Illinois boy, trying to generate more listeners)Former Illinois representative Joe Walsh declared "This is now war" and called for President Barack Obama to "watch out" in a Twitter post.
An unrepentant Walsh stood by his tweets, saying: "Of course I didn't mean 'let's go kill Obama and Black Lives Matter.' I was not trying to incite violence against Obama and Black Lives Matter. That's crazy and stupid and wrong."
He added: "It would end my career and it's wrong. I would never say anything as reprehensible as that."
Of course I didn't say to kill Obama, that would end my career!
tulc(is in need of more coffee)A hoax news article reported that Ruth Bader Ginsburg had threatened to leave the Supreme Court if Donald Trump became president.
tulc(thinks the ODS must be very strong at Breitbart)On 28 July 2014, Breitbart published an article under the headline "Obama: Muslims Built 'The Very Fabric of Our Nation" that referenced a 27 July 2014 statement issued by the White House on the occasion of the Muslim holiday of Eid-al-Fitr (which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan).
tell them "Nope. just a another myth!"During an interview with the Washington Post, President Obama stated that Americans would be better off under martial law.

tulc(just back from doing laundry!)Is this true? It was posted on FB
His son died after being shot 12 times by police officers and his brother was murdered by drug dealers. Rather than burn down the block he has risen to run one of the largest police departments in the nation in his efforts to stop police brutality.
He is Chief David Brown, head of the Dallas Police Department. This week he saw five of his officers murdered by a sniper during a peaceful rally in Dallas. He is one of many #HeroesInBlue actively working to make our communities a better, safer place.
Thank you for your service, Chief Brown. Keep up the great work.
An admirable person.This one's true also:

Wrought Irony
Viral rumors of 'Islamic symbolism' added to the White House fence during a 2015 security upgrade are baseless.
"What these alarmists failed to notice, however (or they did, but just didn't care), is that the renovation consisted only of adding the removable spikes, nothing else. What they further failed to notice is that most of the photos they used to try to make their case had actually been taken before the changes were made. The "Islamic" elements of the design they were concerned about had been in place for at least 100 years."

tulc(this is also true!)President Obama’s Kenyan half-brother wants to make America great again — so he’s voting for Donald Trump.
“I like Donald Trump because he speaks from the heart,” Malik Obama told The Post from his home in the rural village of Kogelo. “Make America Great Again is a great slogan. I would like to meet him.”
Obama, 58, a longtime Democrat, said his “deep disappointment” in his brother Barack’s administration has led him to recently switch allegiance to “the party of Lincoln.”
Serge Kovaleski suffers from arthrogryposis, a condition which limits the movement of joints and is particularly noticeable in Kovaleski's right arm and hand. After referring to Kovaleski as "a nice reporter," Trump launched into an impression of him, pointedly flopping his right arm around with his hand held at an odd angle while saying (in imitation of Kovaleski): "Now, the poor guy, you’ve got to see this guy: 'Uhh, I don't know what I said. Uhh, I don't remember,' he's going like 'I don't remember. Maybe that's what I said'":
The New York Times, Kovaleski's current employer, said in a statement that “We think it's outrageous that [Donald Trump] would ridicule the appearance of one of our reporters." Trump responded in usual style, issuing a series of tweets in which he admonished Kovaleski to "stop using his disability to grandstand"
tulc(people are adorable)The first thing you have to wonder is, was this Daily Caller "reporter" actually "at the Democratic National Convention," as he implied? Because his entire article was based on two Getty Image news service photographs, one of which wasn't even taken at the Democratic National Convention. Did this "reporter" not know how to operate a camera (i.e., a cell phone) to snap a few shots of what he supposedly witnessed? Did he have a really crummy seat at the DNC that didn't afford him a view of the proceedings (in which case he shouldn't have been writing about it)? Or maybe was he not there at all?
Ooooo neatthis one is one concerns an urban myth I saw posted as being true in another thread but it wasn't:
