Michael Moore proposes new Pledge of Allegiance against Trump and 'MAGA-heads'
Progressive filmmaker and activist Michael Moore rewrote the words of the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance on Monday, asking his readers to unite against President Donald Trump and "MAGA-heads" in the country. "I pledge allegiance to the people of the United States of America. And to the democracy for which we all stand: One person, one vote, one nation, part of one world, everyone! A seat at the table! Everyone! A slice of the pie! With liberty and justice, equality, and kindness and the pursuit of happiness for all," Moore wrote on his Substack account. The "Fahrenheit 9/11" director said he wrote the new pledge "[f]or the people and for the country that deep down — in spite of its MAGA-heads, in spite of its insanity — we've decided to fight for its survival, holding onto a belief that we can make it better, that we can fix it, that we can end the madness and create a true Democracy for which it stands." After providing his pledge, Moore called on readers to act and offered several actions that would take just a few minutes, including emailing a one-sentence message to an elected official, calling a member of Congress, signing up for a local progressive group or creating a sign for an upcoming rally. He implored readers to take at least one political action every day. "Our hearts do not go more than a second without creating a beat. Our lungs do not skip more than 3 seconds without taking a breath. Can we all, all of us, together, pledge to not skip a day right now without taking some simple sort of political action?" Moore wrote. Moore has come out against staples of the United States in the past but has usually targeted the Second Amendment, which protects the right to gun ownership. In 2022, he proposed a "28th Amendment" to the U.S. Constitution to repeal the Second Amendment and enforce nationwide gun control. "The inalienable right of a free people to be kept safe from gun violence and the fear thereof must not be infringed and shall be protected by the Congress and the States. This Amendment thus repeals and replaces the Second Amendment," Moore wrote at the time.

Soldiers' sacrifices remembered at Memorial Day observation
Lee County Sheriff Brian Estes says he often has to explain to people the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Estes was one of the speakers at Monday's Memorial Day ceremony in Broadway. The ceremony was moved inside to American Legion Post 347 because of rain, but that didn't dampen the crowd. More than 100 packed the Legion to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. 'Over the years, I've had to explain the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day to people,' Estes said. 'This is the easiest way I can think of to explain it — I want all of the veterans in the audience to stand up. I want to give them a round of applause. So on veterans day and every day, we can celebrate them for being here. On Memorial Day, we would celebrate the same people that just stood up if one thing would have changed in their lives. If they would have turned a different way or they would have driven a car in a different direction or if someone had taken a different shot, they wouldn't be here today. To me, that's the easiest way to explain it to people. The difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day is that we would have been celebrating with these heroes if one thing would have been different.' The ceremony began with the crowd reciting the Pledge of Allegiance before joining Cindy Buchanan in singing the National Anthem. Pastor Eddie Thomas of Juniper Spring Baptist Church then gave the invocation. After Estes spoke, Broadway Mayor Donald Andrews welcomed the crowd and shared a few thoughts, including welcoming the members of Trail Life USA, Troop NC-2717, and American Heritage Girls, Trop NC-1715, who would have presented the colors had the ceremony occurred outdoors. 'I saw them out there yesterday practicing, making sure everything was ready to go,' Andrews said. 'I hate that Mother Nature was a little uncooperative.' Andrews noted that for many, Memorial Day is a three-day weekend to kick off the summer, but for others, it's much more. 'It's a day set aside to remember veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice ensuring our freedom,' he said. Andrews said that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. 'Vietnam veterans are special to me,' he said. 'As many of you know, my dad served in Vietnam. The Vietnam War divided our country. Nonetheless, the men and women who volunteered — or were drafted — carried out orders that our country asked of them. They did not come home to ticker tape parades or celebrations. It's only been in the last 20 years or so that we tried to correct that oversight.' Andrews said, of the more than 58,000 troops killed in Vietnam, 1,600 were from North Carolina and 14 from Lee County. He also shared a list of their names. 'These brave men and women we honor today, some whose names are listed on the memorial wall down the street, answered the call from their country and defended the freedoms and liberties that we are enjoying today. They come from farms, small towns and large cities. Their diversity spans all demographics. When asked to defend this nation, they stood strong in the face of tyranny. I would ask that if you gather later with family and friends, please take a moment to remember them and the 1,354,000 Americans who died defending this country. They made the ultimate sacrifice.' Charles Parks was the final speaker. He served in the Marine Corps. Parks gave a brief history of Memorial Day, which was known as Decoration Day. 'On May 26, 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed a proclamation that recognized the tradition of preserving the tradition of what had begun 100 years before,' Parks said. 'Most of you here today recognize the importance of this day to remember the sacrifices that have been made to keep our nation free.' Parks said he has concerns that as older veterans and citizens become complacent, young people do not realize the sacrifices that have been made. 'We are slowly losing factual history,' he said. 'I find that a lot of young people disrespect our flag and those who have served. We are not teaching them to love and respect our nation. They are not being taught that history — real history.' Parks then shared the story of a book that included the story of one of his wife's uncles, who was killed in World War II. 'My wife and her sisters, who were born after he was killed, knew nothing but a picture and a name until two years ago, when we found a book that had almost a total history of his life in the service. After his sister passed, we found this book — for uncle John Burleson.' The book contained information about his service as a medic. 'If they had not made the effort, we would not know anything about his service,' Parks said, noting that Burleson landed on Omaha Beach a month after D-Day and worked to take care of the wounded until he was killed in France. Parks concluded by telling the crowd that they need to pass down their stories to preserve the history for future generations. 'There is no reason not to have recorded history,' he said. 'We have multiple avenues to record your history.'

Dems' hearing meltdowns a play to the base, analysts say, as Trump noms keep pushing back in viral moments
President Donald Trump's nominees consistently engage with Democrats who challenge them in increasingly viral hearing moments that analysts say are not intended as gifts to the media, but red meat for their base. The media understands Democrats have little power on a Republican-dominated Capitol Hill, according to Bill D'Agostino, senior analyst for the Media Research Center. "If you were to watch any given night on CNN or MSNBC evening shows, you'll find a couple of panel discussion segments that are basically just Democratic strategists and the host talking shop," he told Fox News Digital in a Thursday interview. "The discussion has focused almost entirely on how can Democrats show their voters that they're trying to fight this, that they're trying to make a difference, that they're resisting the Trump administration." White House Press Secretary Defends Trump's Firing Of Inspectors General Partisan politics has come to a point, D'Agostino suggested, where constituents send Democrats to Washington to stop Trump at every turn, regardless of ideological alignment or differences. Read On The Fox News App "Obviously, as the minority party, there's not much action they can actually offer. So instead, their political futures basically rest on how hard they're trying to stop Trump." One of the most contentious exchanges occurred during FBI Director Kash Patel's January confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., dug into granular language used by Patel after the Capitol riot in regard to a song released by inmates that featured Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Patel told Schiff he stood by prior testimony that he had had nothing to do with the recording of the song, while the Burbank Democrat grilled him over a comment to former Trump adviser Stephen Bannon about "what we thought would be cool… captur[ing] audio" for the song. Schiff asked why he said that, and Patel incredulously shot back "that's why it says, 'we' [as opposed to I] as you highlighted." Patel denied participating in the digitizing of the song. The exchange was compared to former President Bill Clinton's grammatical comments about the word "is" during the Monica Lewinsky affair. During Attorney General Pam Bondi's confirmation, Schiff was at the fore again, demanding she disclose whether she might prosecute former special counsel Jack Smith over his Trump probe. Bondi repeatedly said she wouldn't answer hypothetical, and dinged Schiff in response for focusing on Smith while his own California is rife with violent crime. Bondi also snapped back at Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., after a grilling on the Fourteenth Amendment and citizenship, saying, "I'm not here to do your homework and study for you." During Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's hearing, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., delved into Hegseth's multiple marriages and allegations of untoward behavior. Kaine said Hegseth had "casually cheated" on a former wife shortly after his daughter Gwendolyn was born. Hegseth countered that the situation had been investigated and that Kaine's claims were "false charges." "You've admitted that you had sex at that hotel in October 2017. You said it was consensual, isn't that correct?" Kaine went on, probing further. Bondi Announces One Of Largest Fentanyl Seizures In Us History Hegseth also made headlines when he interrupted Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., mid-sentence as she criticized the revolving door among military generals, Pentagon chiefs, and defense contractors. "I'm not a general, senator," he said, prompting laughter in the gallery. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also had several similar moments, including when Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., opened his remarks by speaking about the measles and telling the nominee bluntly, "You frighten people." Kennedy also rejected a line of questioning from Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., claiming that he had compared the Atlanta-based CDC's work to Nazi death camps. Outbursts and grilling continued in recent oversight hearings, including this past week when Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., got into a tiff with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem about Salvadoran deportee Kilmar Garcia. At one point, Swalwell informed Noem he has a "bull---t detector." Mark Bednar, a former top aide to ex-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was one of many "sherpas" tasked with guiding nominees through the confirmation process, including meetings with senators. Bednar assisted EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin through his process, which, by comparison to others, was mild. Zeldin's hearing actually included some bipartisan joking – like when Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., riffed that Zeldin's cell phone rang unexpectedly because "the fossil fuel industry" was calling him after a line of questioning on the matter. Swalwell Warns Noem He Has A 'Bulls---' Detector During Heated Exchange About Abrego Garcia Bednar recounted a loud protester in the hall who remained for some time, offering conjecture that the disruptive woman hadn't yet crossed any legal lines like protesters actually inside hearing rooms like during Kennedy's confirmation. But Bednar said that many of the other nominees faced Democrats who would rather make a show than "be diplomatic and deliberative over policy." "I think that is a big indicator to me that the left has no substantive answers for rebuttals to President Trump's agenda or Republicans' agenda. And that, to me, is a sign that if you're a Republican, that that's encouraging -- the public's on your side, and the far left has been unable to formulate a rational, level-headed response, much less not even be able to articulate one." Fox News Digital reached out to other sherpas but did not hear back. Meanwhile, Bednar said that it has been interesting to watch the hearing disruptions evolve into larger scenes with similarly little substance or long-term gain. "I thought I was very rich and pun intended, that Cory Booker delivered a record-breaking speech that the Democrats were basically just grasping for anything to kind of count as a win, even though it didn't really amount to anything," he said, after the New Jersey Democrat held an unofficial filibuster – as there was no legislation being held up – for more than a day. That speech, however, precipitated several fundraising emails from the left, Bednar said, which bolstered D'Agostino's claim about playing to the base. "If it's a session day in D.C., and Republicans are in charge, there's going to be liberal agitators protesting; as the sky is blue," Bednar quipped.
