He and his wife were born and raised in Michigan. I think they lived in L.A. or New York for awhile but realized early on they wanted to raise any kids they might have in their home state, so they've lived in Michigan most of their lives.

I don't have Showtime but a friend saw the movie, The Comey Rule, in which Jeff starred in. The deal was that the movie would come out in September or October of this year. Then all of a sudden Showtime decided to wait and weren't going to show it until after the election. Jeff was VERY upset by this and said he wouldn't have anything to do with promoting it. I guess they must have listened to him because it came out a few weeks ago. My friend said the movie is excellent and really helps to explain a lot regarding what happened during that horrible situation in 2016 and beyond....

And Daniels is great in it, as is all the supporting cast. Interestingly, the guy who plays trump is even more repellent than the real one. (On purpose, perhaps???).

He was also an outstanding George Washington a few years ago in telling the story of Washington's Christmas attack on Trenton in crossing the Delaware

I mean I collided with him on the street. Seems like a really nice guy. He lives in Chelsea, southeast of Ann Arbor. I've always admired he married his college sweetheart who is also from Chelsea. Much better than ted nugent or kid rock.

Because we are not an island where we live, we are the United States of America. When one state hurts, we all feel the pain.

33. Don Winslow was supposed to come out with an October Surprise about Lindsay

Graham. Some big "news" that Lindsay didn't want people to know.

It never came. It's October 28. An October surprise at this point is going to be too late to swing some voters.
