Tim Kaine The Truth About Trump is He Wants to Block All Immigration
Tim Kaine says President Trump is full of it and, despite what he says ... his true mission is to stop all immigration in the U.S. -- not just people coming here illegally.
We got the Virginia Senator at Capitol Hill in D.C. Wednesday and, after completely dismissing what Ann Coulter claims about kids in detention camps ... he put the Prez on blast for rejecting a bipartisan deal in February that would have helped Dreamers and provided $25 BILLION in border security.
Kaine says the real deal with Trump is ... he's obsessed with making life miserable for all immigrants -- legal and illegal -- and punishing kids, and his demand for more border security is just a guise.
For a guy who Trump recently referred to as "a total stiff" ... Kaine just went in hard on him. But, for what it's worth, Trump says he's about to sign an executive order to keep families at the border together.

Homeland Security Secretary Shamed Outta Mexican Joint 'Do You Hear Babies Crying?'
Kirstjen Nielsen -- the Secretary of Homeland Security -- busted out a walk of shame after a group of protesters disrupted her dinner at -- of all places -- a Mexican restaurant.
The incident went down Tuesday night at the popular MXDC Cocina Mexicana Restaurant near the White House ... where Nielsen sat in the back surrounded by her security detail and waited for dinner.
That's when a group from the Metro DC Democratic Socialists of America showered her with boos and grilled her about Trump's inhumane policy to separate children from their parents crossing the border.
The group asked her, "Aren't you a mother too? How do you sleep at night?" and "Do you hear babies crying?" The group also chanted "shame" and "end family separation" ... and 10 minutes into the ordeal, it proved too much for Nielsen to handle because she bounced.
DHS Secretary Nielsen just got driven out of a Mexican restaurant here on 14th Street by activists. DSA, I believe. pic.twitter.com/lTKutryXBO

Waffle House Hero James Shaw MTV Honor was Nice ... But It's No Medal of Freedom!!!
James Shaw Jr.'s still stoked Chadwick Boseman shouted him out at the MTV Movie & TV Awards ... but his sights are set on a more prestigious prize as he continues his quest to make the world a better place.
The Waffle House hero tells TMZ ... he's hoping to get an invite to the White House to receive a Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the U.S. Shaw's certainly earned it for courageously disarming the Tennessee Waffle House gunman and saving several lives.
It's not all about him, though -- James says he'd like the award so people will get off President Trump's case about it ... and everyone can move forward.
Shaw also touches on his foundation to improve mental health awareness, the tragic death of XXXTentacion ... and his plan to take over the rapper's mission to reach 5 million kids and positively impact their lives.
As we reported, the star of "Black Panther" won the Movie award for Best Hero Monday, but turned the spotlight on the real-life hero ... and gave Shaw his golden popcorn award.

Trump's Ex-Campaign Manager 'Womp, Womp' to Detention Camp Kids ... Ignites Intense TV Fight
Corey Lewandowski had a brash -- and incredibly callous -- response to a story about a 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome being taken from her mother at the border ... and it set off a fiery live TV exchange.
Trump's former campaign manager was a guest on Fox News Tuesday afternoon along with Zac Petkanas, a former senior DNC adviser. The 2 got into a heated argument after Lewandowski dropped a "Womp, womp" about the disabled immigrant child being separated from her mom and sent to a detention facility.
Petkanas was beyond incensed, screaming, "How dare you, sir?!" repeatedly ... while Lewandowski tried to shout him down.
The country's immigration policy has been the hot-button topic of the month, and clearly ... this isn't going to cool it off.

Michelle Obama Lunch in Venice Suits Me Well!!!
Michelle Obama might be from the Midwest and live on the East Coast, but no one needs to school her on nailing the business cas' look in L.A.
The former First Lady joined some of her colleagues for lunch at the ritzy Gjelina restaurant in Venice ... easily pulling off the beachy business meeting look thanks to those shades, sandals and soft colors. It was also easy to figure out a big shot was in town ... with her Secret Service motorcade tipping off the locals.
Safe to say that among the topics likely discussed at lunch was the heartbreaking situation that's fueled recent rhetoric when it comes to immigration. As we reported ... Michelle joined Laura Bush and condemned the inhumane practice of keeping children in cages after being separated from their families crossing the border.

Stormy Daniels Thanks for the PR, Trump I'm Pushing High-Priced Panties!!!
Stormy Daniels is famous for taking off her underwear -- on camera and with Donald Trump, allegedly -- but now she's using her Trump-fueled fame to get women INTO lingerie ... for a price.
Stormy's launching her own line of intimates with designer Helen Hoey. They'll be sold at PULCHRA in Beverly Hills, which should already give you a hint they'll be high-end. We're told pieces in the collection will cost over $100 a pop.
The line is being described as "edgy and sophisticated with vintage aesthetics." Not sure what all that means, but seems like a lot of words for items that won't be on for very long.
Stormy will slip into the goods, first -- she's set to model in the lingerie campaign.

Donald Trump Jr. & Vanessa Back to Hanging Out ... After She Shows Support
Donald Trump Jr. wasted little time getting together with his estranged wife, Vanessa, after she fiercely defended his new relationship with FOX News host Kimberly Guilfoyle.
DTJ and Vanessa were seen leaving their apartment in NYC on Friday morning and appeared to jump into the same waiting SUV. They were probably together since they're still co-parenting their kids ... but ya gotta imagine he thanked her after she blasted haters dogging on his new GF.
The lengths people will go to attack a woman simply because she’s dating Don. We’ve been separated for over 9 months and respect each other’s decisions & privacy. We’ll focus on raising our great kids.Would be nice if the press did the same rather than obsess over our pvt lives! https://t.co/fa73W3gv43
@MrsVanessaTrump
One media outlet went as far as saying Kimberly should be fired because she couldn't possibly stay neutral while dating a Trump kid. One thing's for sure ... Don Jr.'s got a strong ally in Vanessa, who filed for divorce back in March.
So ... happy ex, happy life?

President Trump Alice Johnson Owes All Thanks to Kim K
President Trump just gave Kim Kardashian all the credit for Alice Johnson's prison release.
The Prez was giving an interview to "FOX & Friends" on the White House lawn Friday and was talking about meeting Kim and her quest to free Alice. As we reported ... Kim took up Alice's cause last year and arranged meetings to get the great-grandmother's life sentence commuted after she was convicted in 1997 for a nonviolent crime.
Alice had no idea who Kim was, but Kim took it upon herself to ultimately end up with Trump in the Oval Office and convince 45 to let her free. He did ... leading to Alice's emotional reunion with her family, which Trump dubbed as a beautiful thing.
As we reported ... Kim and Alice ultimately met for the first time in Memphis and was obviously incredibly thankful after Alice was the first person Kim called to tell her the wheels of freeing her out of prison were starting to spin.

Ex-FBI Director James Comey FBI Officials Sent Anti-Trump Texts During Hillary Email Probe
12:10 PM PT -- Comey released a statement saying, "I respect the DOJ IG office, which is why I urged them to do this review. The conclusions are reasonable, even though I disagree with some."
"People of good faith can see an unprecedented situation differently. I pray no Director faces it again. Thanks to IG's people for hard work."
Ex-FBI Director James Comey had at least one agent working the Hillary Clinton email probe who was open about NOT wanting Donald Trump to win the election ... according to the Justice Department.
The Justice Department's inspector general issued a report reviewing Comey's actions, and it included text messages between FBI investigator Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer, Lisa Page. In one of them, Page says, "[Trump]'s not ever going to become president, right? Right?!"
Strzok replied, "No. No he won't. We'll stop it."
Despite those texts, the Justice Department didn't say Comey acted out of any political bias while investigating Hillary's emails -- but did say his actions "negatively impacted the perception of the FBI and the department as fair administrators of justice."
Start the countdown to another "witch hunt" tweet from the Oval Office.

Kim Kardashian I First Called Ivanka Trump To Free Alice Marie Johnson
Kim Kardashian says the first person she called to start the process of freeing Alice Johnson was none other than Ivanka Trump ... who apparently got things in motion.
Kim and Alice sat down with "TODAY" host Hoda Kotb and explained how Alice came to be released from prison last week while serving a life sentence. Kim says she called Ivanka, who was completely sympathetic to Alice's situation. The rest is history.
A few other interesting tidbits from the interview -- Alice says she had no idea who Kim was before getting a ton of help from her. Also ... Kim says she cracked a joke about Khloe to President Trump to break the ice during the Oval Office meeting.
One last thing ... Kim says the Prez himself had immediate compassion toward Alice, and felt granting her clemency was the right thing to do. Well ... that much is obvious.

Donald Trump Kim Jong-un's a Special Guy ... Sure, Maybe He Kills People
Donald Trump can't stop complimenting Kim Jong-un ... even when he's confronted with the fact the dude's a murderer.
The Prez continued to heap praise on the North Korean leader Wednesday following their historic summit this week, during an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier ... despite Baier bringing up Kim's history of executing people.
"He's a tough guy," POTUS replied. "When you take over a country, tough country, tough people, and you take it over from your father ... if you could do that at 27 years old, I mean, that's 1 in 10,000 that could do that."
Trump added ... "He's a very smart guy; he's a great negotiator. But I think we understand each other."

Dennis Rodman LOL at Nobel Peace Prize for Trump! Me, On the Other Hand ...
Dennis Rodman had a hearty laugh about President Trump possibly winning a Nobel Peace Prize, because he thinks someone else should be considered ... Dennis Rodman!
We talked to The Worm about the historic meeting between his friends, Trump and Kim Jong-un, and what it might mean in the long run ... he makes some jokes, but tells us he's truly happy it went down.
Rodman insists he's not seeking accolades for the 2 leaders talking peace, but also reminded us he played a part in it ... and feels vindicated for his efforts.
Dennis Rodman was either drunk or on drugs (delusional) when he said I wanted to go to North Korea with him. Glad I fired him on Apprentice!
@realDonaldTrump
We also asked Rodman about Donald's comments back in 2014 ... accusing him of being drunk or high when discussing Trump and North Korea.
Dennis doesn't exactly deny it, but says he's willing to give his pal -- the American one -- a pass in light of recent events.

Lil Boosie Kim K. Is Great for Prison Reform ... I'm Down to Help Too!!!
Lil Boosie says he's got no problem with Kim Kardashian meeting President Trump to discuss prison reform, and as an ex-inmate himself ... he's sure other prisoners would back her efforts too.
We got Boosie Tuesday at Atlanta's Lenox Square Mall and he joked about why Kim's the perfect spokesperson for unjustly convicted inmates -- something about many of them enjoying her body of work.
On a serious note, he applauded her impassioned efforts to get Alice Marie Johnson's sentence commuted, and it seems she's inspired him. Boosie, who's admittedly not a Trump fan, told us he'd even be down to do his part -- with one caveat.
Boosie and Trump? Imagine that Oval Office photo op!

Dan Rather Hold Trump's Nobel Prize, for Now ... Kim Jong-un Won Big
Dan Rather gives President Trump props for talking peace with North Korea instead of making war ... but adds, so far, Kim Jong-un's the only one who's won anything out of the summit.
The CBS news icon told us Tuesday in NYC, he's hopeful -- but still skeptical -- the summit will be a win for the United States. He says N. Korea's supreme leader's already rung up a big W, while all Trump has up to this point is a great photo op.
As for all that talk about POTUS winning a Nobel Peace Prize? Rather basically says, let's put a pin in that ... for now.

President Trump Kim Jong-un Handshake Happened on $12k Carpet
President Trump and Kim Jong-un's handshake heard around the world also happened to take place on some pretty pricey rug -- and it was all footed by the U.S. Government -- TMZ has learned.
According to federal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- that document lodging and other expenses for the trip ... the American Embassy in Singapore is on the hook for about $162k. About $151k of that pertains to costs incurred at the Shangri-La Hotel, where the U.S. delegation, including the Prez, stayed leading up to the face-to-face.
An additional $12,000 was charged to cover the carpets used for Trump's meeting with Kim at the Capella Hotel.
Unclear how much Trump himself was charged specifically to stay at the Shangri-La Hotel ... he was only there for 2 days, after all. But, the receipts do show that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's team was singled out for a bit more than $8k of the grand total.
Diplomacy doesn't come cheap.

Dennis Rodman Left in Tears Over Trump/Kim Jong-un Summit
As happy as a lot of folks might've been seeing the U.S. and North Korea meet peacefully, no one was as jubilant as Dennis Rodman ... dude was literally crying tears of joy.
Rodman went on CNN shortly after President Trump met Kim Jong-un Tuesday, where he had streams coming down his face -- albeit behind sunglasses -- and praised the historic summit ... which he's insinuated he had a role in brokering by softening up Kim.
As you might know ... Rodman has been the U.S.'s unofficial spokesperson on all things North Korea for a while now -- even bringing over a basketball team to the country to get on Kim's good side. He also claims he got Trump's book, "The Art of the Deal," in Kim's hands.
Welp, all that diplomacy seems to have paid off ... in Dennis' mind, anyway. While he told CNN's Chris Cuomo he didn't want any credit ... he went on to brag that Trump's secretary called him to say the Prez was proud of the work he'd done.
