She says she filled out the paperwork the same as always -- identifying herself as a female ... but, she adds she never got her birth certificate changed, and thinks the department that issues the crucial travel document may have cross-referenced her application with the other document.

Alan Ritchson's not voting for his childhood classmate Matt Gaetzanytime soon ... 'cause he used some choice verbiage to take a shot at the dude who he calls his adversary.
The "Reacher" star sat down for an interview with GQ -- released Wednesday -- when he was asked about the former congressman who he met in Niceville, Florida where his family settled when he was a kid.
It sounds like the two weren't having sleepovers and going on double dates ... 'cause Ritchson says, "That mother******. We are adversaries. It's shocking to me that the panhandle of Florida continues to vote for somebody—knowing everything we know about him and the promises that he's made behind closed doors about pardoning certain criminals—he's just not a good dude!"

Kid came out of the gate saying Kendrick Lamar wasn't his cup of tea, but he has mad respect for him because he's unapologetic about his craft.

Kid Rock celebrated Kendrick, saying he doesn't give a "frog's fat ass" what people think.
But, then things turned ... Kid Rock said were it not for Colin Kaepernick taking a knee, Kendrick would never have ended up center stage at the Super Bowl.

The two heads appear on a field of pink with tiny hearts scattered in the background ... and the rhyme "Roses are red, violets are blue, come here illegally, and we'll deport you" written on top.

President Trump is sending a strong message to the media ... kiss my executive orders, or pay the price -- and his press secretary is laying down the law in no uncertain terms.
Sounding very much like the new sheriff in town, Karoline Leavitt barked at reporters Wednesday when someone raised the topic of the administration pulling the Associated Press' access to the Oval Office, because the outlet still refers to the Gulf of Mexico by that label, and not the one POTUS decreed in one of his first executive orders.
Leavitt said, "I was very upfront in my briefing on day 1. If we feel that there are lies being pushed by outlets in this room, we are going to hold those lies accountable."

Jeffrey wrote a new book on the subject, "The Pardon: The Politics of Presidential Mercy," and says pardons are one of the few powers a president has that are free from checks and balances -- and that's why they tell so much about the men giving them out.
